Chapter 466 No comparison, no harm

Since when have pirates been so arrogant, they even come to collect protection fees?

Although some mercenaries have a bad reputation, and some even collude with pirates, some private security companies are indeed connected with these organizations, and some pay protection fees to buy safety.

But Falcon International is not some superficial company. It is a company owned by Dong Chen, and it also has so many advanced weapons.

The deep-sea warships manufactured in the underground base have been delivered to Falcon International one after another, and they are parked on the seabed next to the Falcon base. They just don't show up. Under normal circumstances, they patrol the sea in small boats every day.

However, these soldiers selected as ship soldiers have also begun simulation training, and have begun boarding training one after another. As long as necessary, deep-sea warships can come up to fight at any time.

As long as the war starts, it will be a war that shocks the world after all.

So after asking Dong Chen for instructions, Falcon International happily gave the money.

"I rely on my parents at home, and my friends when I go out. From now on, brother, I will make a living in this sea area. I hope all the bosses will give me face."

"Easy to say, easy to say. As long as the money is paid on time, we guarantee that you will be safe and sound. Even if an American warship comes, as long as the brothers say hello, we can work side by side to do their job."

"Brothers are just right, come on, I'll drink this bowl of wine, brothers, do whatever you want."

"Haha, my brother is really rich, so I can't lag behind. Brothers, give me all the wine."

"Done!!"

After seeing off the pirates who were full of food and wine, Steve asked Dong Chen, unchanged, "Boss, why do we have to pay these pirates protection fees? We can actually eat them with zero casualties, including the port." Drop their base.”

"Our deep-sea warships are used to catch big fish. If we show the fishing net now, the big fish will not come," Dong Chen said leisurely, "And the money we are giving to the pirates now only needs We caught the big fish, and they naturally returned the money obediently."

"Got it, BOSS." Steve nodded and said.

"Well," Dong Chen said with a smile, "but when dealing with these pirates, you must be careful not to put yourself too low. Although we give them "protection money", it does not mean that we are afraid of them. Don't let them Push your limits."

"Okay, BOSS."

September is quickly approaching, and ArcLight Aerospace is almost ready.

On September 3, two aerospace transport aircraft carried two huge space station cabins into low-Earth orbit. After some space docking, they were successfully connected to the basic version of the Tiangong Space Station.

At that time, two large cabins were first connected together to form a 100-meter-long space cabin. Then they were connected to the rear of the core module of the basic version of the Tiangong Space Station, eventually forming a long-handled cross.

If you don't count the unfolded solar panels, this shape looks like a cross sword, except that a long section of its "sword blade" suddenly becomes thicker.

In this way, coupled with the 8.5-meter-long manned spacecraft connected to the end, the length of the Tiangong Space Station reaches 137 meters, which can be regarded as exceeding the length of the International Space Station in one fell swoop.

Although it is not wide enough, you can be very proud of it. After all, this is a space station built by China on its own, not the result of multinational cooperation.

Not to mention that there is still 1,000 meters of length waiting in the later stage.

This action immediately attracted the world's attention again.

Anyone who has paid attention to the external activities of the Arc Light Group several times knows that once the Arc Light Group takes action, it will definitely mean that it is fully prepared, and what will follow will be a series of high-energy moments.

It won't be like other companies that put out an eye-catching thing and hang you, and then put it out again when you are about to lose your patience. In fact, they are not ready yet, and they are just using this to delay time.

At the same time, it sends a signal to consumers to wait, "Don't give up, we will be ready soon. Look at our prospects, how good they are. Don't divert your attention."

In the end, some waiting for results is worth it, but some waiting is...fuck me.

The Arc Light Group did not disappoint. After the cabin was docked with the basic version of the Tiangong Space Station, the two auxiliary robots in the cabin inspected the various facilities in the cabin. The inspection results were that they all passed and are ready to move in at any time. astronaut.

However, the first people to enter the two living cabins were not the space workers of the Arc Light Group, but three astronauts from the National Space Administration.

After Arclight Aerospace assisted in completing the basic version of the Tiangong Space Station, the Chinese Space Administration sent pre-selected astronauts aboard.

After all, many space experiments are still waiting to be carried out, and time waits for no one.

After being denied entry to the International Space Station, China has lagged behind for many years in this regard. It is impossible not to seize the time to catch up.

After the two space station cabins of Arc Light Aerospace were in place, the three astronauts came to visit, and this was also written in the agreement.

Since it is a living cabin specifically for space workers to live in, there is basically no experimental equipment. In addition, the cabin is naturally large and Arc Light Group’s technological strength is strong, so the layout inside is simply inferior to that of the existing space station. Do whatever you want.

There are 20 beds in the cabin. In addition to the 15 people from the Arc Light Group, the remaining 5 beds are reserved for China. Not to mention the current three astronauts, even if there are two more astronauts, it will be no problem.

The interior of the living cabin is clean and tidy. There are no messy equipment, but only simple designs like those in science fiction movies.

It's a sleeping cabinet like a capsule apartment. Once you get in, the "bedding" inside will automatically tighten to the appropriate strength. You don't have to tie yourself up anymore, and you can still have a small private space.

There are also many dining tables, video equipment and entertainment equipment in public spaces, as well as food cabinets and beverage cabinets, fitness equipment, sanitary equipment and other equipment, and the design is taken into consideration and looks pleasing to the eye.

The most important thing is that the windows of the two living cabins of Guguang Aerospace are really big. The scenery outside the windows is really beautiful, especially the beautiful earth.

According to Arc Light Group’s old rules, live broadcast is a must, especially the part where the astronauts visit, showing how harmonious the cooperation between the state and private companies is.

The higher-ups appreciate this, but...are the smiles of these three astronauts a little too bright?

Little did they know that the astronauts who had been in the two living cabins for a while were smiling happily, and their hearts were so happy that they were about to explode.

This is the place where people should stay!

The reason why astronauts can work and live in such a bad environment is not because they like that environment, but because they have a mission and responsibility, and because they can endure it.

And because of limited technology, it can only provide that kind of living space.

But everyone wants to live more comfortably, and astronauts are no exception. Now that we have such a living environment, can our hearts not explode?

Therefore, the astronauts’ words of “Thank you to NASA and Arclight Aerospace Exploration Company” are not false. They are real thanks.

They are happy here, but the International Space Station is not so happy.

After the network of the International Space Station was upgraded, the Internet could be connected smoothly there, so they would watch every time there was a live broadcast of Arclight Spaceflight or a live broadcast of launch missions of other countries.

They know the internal structure of China's Tiangong Space Station. Although it has the technological advantage of a latecomer, it is not much better, so they are still balanced in their hearts.

They had also seen the advanced version design drawings of Arc Light Aerospace, but those were just design drawings until they saw the space station module of Arc Light Aerospace today...

I can't live this day! !
