I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1577 - City of Svetovid

Chapter 1577: City of Svetovid

The news that the Svetovid docked in a synchronous...o...b..t of Mars quickly spread to every corner of the world, and created a widespread discussion on the Internet.

Three years had pa.s.sed since humans first came into contact with Golovin.

In the past three years, whether it was the mysterious Golovin Mental System or the Svetovid stars.h.i.+p immersed under Europa’s ice sheet, the tale of Golovin was no longer a secret.

Of course, while people understood, it was a different matter to accept.

Behind the fierce debate, public opinion was clearly polarized.

Some people considered Golovin a threat, even more than the Harmony civilization on Gliese 581 20.5 light-years away.

In the view of this group of people, everything that human civilization advocated was negated by the existence of the Golovin Mental System. Such as human rights, freedom, and even personality itself. The professor of the Department of Social Sciences of the University of Berlin even a.s.serted that the civilized characteristics displayed by Golovin as almost the same as the dystopia depicted in mainstream science fiction.

“Although Golovin hasn’t shown aggressiveness yet, no one can guarantee that they won’t in the future. Just as we thought those refugees were disadvantaged groups at first, they then rode on our heads. Cloning, authoritarianism.. everything that our civilization are against is taken for granted in their eyes. If our values cannot influence them, then they will eventually corrupt our civilization in turn. I hope that our alliance will not be short-sighted by the immediate interests, at least we should maintain a degree of vigilance…”

Another group of people thought that Earth should accept these refugees. Compared with the opinions of opposers, their views were more radical. Some people even proposed that refugee camps should be set up on Earth to accommodate these guests from far away instead of forcing them to the deserted Mars.

“…We cannot shut them out just because they are clones. I admit that the cloning of humans is indeed intolerable by morals and laws, and must not be compromised, but what we are opposed to should be clone technology, not those unfortunate people that became clones. No life has the right to choose their own birth. If we reject them just because of their birth, what is the difference between us and those nasty racists? “A representative of a European human rights organization replied in an interview with a reporter.

Of course, in addition to the firm and clear-cut left and right factions, a considerable number of people held a relatively neutral stance and were indifferent to the news that Golovin had settled on Mars. Even if Golovin went to the Sun, it did not matter, as long as they did not become their neighbor.

After all, living with clones was quite a scary thought.

…

On the third day after the Svetovid docked in the synchronous...o...b..t of Mars, a thousand Golovinians landed on Mars through the s.p.a.ce elevator. In addition to the 1,000 crew members, all types of s.p.a.ce vehicles and some tools and production equipment designed by Golovin were sent to the ground together from the synchronous...o...b..t.

Most of these tools and production equipment were manufactured over the past month through mineral processing technology and 3D printing technology onboard the Svetovid.

As for the source of resources for the production of these devices, according to Golovin I’s own statement, when they pa.s.sed through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, they discovered a t.i.tanium-rich asteroid about 100 meters in diameter.

First, they used ma.s.s accelerators to launch projectiles to break the asteroid, and then they sent mining s.p.a.cecraft to collect the slag and replenished the exhausted resource inventory. Although the voice of Golovin I was quite relaxed when he said all this, when Jiang Chen heard everything, he was still shocked.

He believed that the development efficiency of Future Mining on the outer s.p.a.ce resources was quite strong, but now, it appeared that he comparatively was much weaker.

If he disregarded everything else, it was already unimaginable that a ma.s.s projectile could directly explode an asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters.

This kind of lethality was only achievable by the main gun of the Envoy-cla.s.s stars.h.i.+p.

“A hundred stars.h.i.+ps…” Golovin I looked at the doc.u.ments in front of him and became lost in thought. After a long pause, he moved his gaze away from the conference table and looked at Jiang Chen who sat on the opposite side, “Allow me to be honest. Do you have this much time?”

Harmony’s s.p.a.ce colonization s.h.i.+p was not far from the solar system.

A hundred stars.h.i.+ps seemed more like an impossible goal. After all, the Earth Fleet only possessed four stars.h.i.+ps so far. Even if the stars.h.i.+p was built at a constant rate of one a year, after half a century, the size of the Earth Fleet would only be fifty Envoy-cla.s.ses.

“If you look at this issue from a growth perspective, I don’t think it’s difficult. After all, we didn’t even have a s.p.a.ce elevator until six years ago. Today, six years later, we have even built colonies on Europa and Himalia. ” Directly across from Golowin I, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued, “I hope I can give the responsibility of the engine to you. I admit that in terms of warp engine, your advancement is much farther than us.”

“Build a hundred warp engines in forty years?” After a moment of thought, Golovin I slowly said, “If you can provide us with the resources we need, it won’t be difficult. However, what I want to say is that even if you can run faster than those bugs, you will not necessarily win. Their understanding of the word war is much deeper than you and me.”

The Svetovid was not advanced in its weapons. After all, after they went through the wormhole, they were in a constant struggle for survival. Naturally, the technology tree was also focused on improving the performance of the stars.h.i.+p itself. As for weapons, although powerful, the ma.s.s accelerators on both sides of the hull were actually the same as the ones that launched them off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, and they hardly changed the technology.

“Whether we’re their opponent or not, we don’t have a reason to just give up. What’s more, I don’t think a hundred stars.h.i.+ps will lose to one. In addition, regarding the resources you need…I have a proposal here.”

Golovin I motioned Jiang Chen to continue to speak with the look in his eyes.

“You can register a company to complete the alliance’s order as a company, and we will pay you. You can use these compensations to buy more resources, including food, freshwater, and liquid oxygen, all that you can’t produce… You may think my proposal is a bit redundant, but after all, we don’t have a Golovin Mental System, and this is what I can think of as the most suitable way for us to cooperate with each other.”

The silence lasted about two or three seconds.

From his facial expression, Golovin I was probably deep in thought.

After a while, he looked at Jiang Chen again and nodded slightly.

“…Interesting proposal, I will consider it.”
