I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1271-1275

Chapter 1271 The Prologue to theNew Era

At the beginning of May, there was a sudden spike in the number of journalists and passengers heading to Xin.To be precise, there was an increase in the number of people travelling to Celestial City.

As for the reason, it was because Celestial Trade made an announcement a few days ago-

[The million-ton Envoy-class Starship is officially launching as part of the Earth Defense Alliance on May 7th...]

A million-ton starship!

Many people felt dizzy when they heard the news.

Especially those in the aerospace field.

The Ares VI engine that sent the Ares to the Mars orbit in a month's time already marked the peak of NASA's cutting-edge space technology. However, it didn't take long for Celestial Trade to launch a million-ton starship.

The gap was drastic.

Although Celestial Trade and the Earth Defense Alliance jointly announced the construction plan of a million-ton starship long ago, even the members in the Earth Defense Alliance were skeptical about if Future Heavy Industries could build such a ship.

After all, the heaviest aircraft carrier weighed around 100,000 tons.

Take the Eisenhower nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as an example. Its stunning length was already seen as a feat. According to the data released by the UA military, in the event of a disaster, the deck space could accommodate up to 10,000 people while maintaining combat effectiveness.

Ten Eisenhowers connected from end to end...

People expressed that they couldn't even imagine the size of this starship.

Since their imagination was not enough.

So they must go take a look.

Thanks to this, Celestial City's hotels were completely booked up, even for the cheapest inns. Even Xin, under the space elevator, welcomed a booming period for its tourism.

"We're currently at the original site of Celestial City's Zero Gravity Shipyard. Now this place has been transformed into four small shipyards by Future Heavy Industries used for the production of Stingray X-1. The production equipment for Seagull-class has been transferred to a free-standing shipyard outside the city."

Standing by the window of the shipyard corridor, a BBC reporter asked the cameraman to point the camera at the "H"-shaped shipyard space station outside the window, then the reporter continued to speak.

"...now the independent shipyard outside the city is completely closed. We have not yet obtained permission to enter the shipyard. This is probably the nearest place to Envoy-class in Celestial City, but it is not open to the public for the time being. If you are watching our program in Celestial City, you can head to the open sightseeing platform in the gravity-free section and use the telescope there to take a peek at the shipyard..."

At this moment, the reporter suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the direction of the shipyard.

"...look over there!"

From the distance, an eerie blue arc flashed, like a bright star in the dark and mysterious universe. On the sightseeing platform one kilometer away, the passengers standing under the transparent dome burst into exclamations and whistles.

The main engine was shut, and the two secondary engines on the bottom ejected two eerie blue rays backward.

With the two bursts of flames pushing it forward, the black dot representing Envoy-class slowly sailed through the distance of tens of kilometers, and displayed its mighty figure in front of the world!
