Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Mr. Bi is indeed one of the more conservative figures in the space agency.

However, his conservatism did not make him disliked.

Simply put, he is never ambiguous when it comes to being radical, but he is extremely cautious when it comes to being conservative.

His famous quote is:

"Safety redundancy and detection? If I back down, I'll chop someone up!"

What's giving Zhang Zhaoming a real headache right now is that he feels this old man, who leans towards the conservatives, is too radical.

On the contrary.

This conservative old man felt that his bureau chief, who leaned towards the radicals, was far too conservative.

What... what's going on?!

Rubbing his temples, Zhang Zhaoming said with a wry smile:

"Isn't it a bit too... radical to directly assemble kilometer-scale unmanned factories and residential areas in space?"

"What's so radical about it?"

Mr. Bi disagreed, arguing:

"The production equipment has been tested in space and is completely fine."

"The safety equipment has been checked countless times, and there are no problems."

"We launch the core module, and then use the minerals contained in the space meteorite to expand the core module in space using unmanned equipment."

"The factory's waste gas can be utilized; carbon dioxide can be used to synthesize starch and gasoline, and the starch can then be used to synthesize rubber..."

"These technologies have all been validated!!!"

"We already have the capability to establish a space factory!"

This is the radicalism that belongs to Bi Lao.

Surprisingly, these technologies have all been verified to some extent.

Then get them there!

Let's take a big one, combine them together, and we'll have a massive space base!

A space base integrating living, production, and daily life!

"I don't know where the technology for a self-circulating ecosystem comes from."

Old Bi didn't care at all, and he said loudly:

"However, since the experiments have verified that it can maintain the operation of the space ranch in space, let's just bring it up and use it!"

"Zhang Zhaoming, do you agree or not? Just say the word!"

After saying that, Old Bi crossed his arms, waiting for Zhang Zhaoming to speak.

"hiss--"

This damn oppressive feeling.

Do conservatives think radicals are too conservative?

You guys are actually serious?!

"Old Bi, your plan..."

After much deliberation, Zhang Zhaoming hardened his heart and nodded, saying:

"I agreed!"

"However, safety must be guaranteed!"

"Don't worry about that, I'll have the Academy of Military Sciences follow up. Also, regarding security, I'll personally organize a thorough investigation, again and again!"

I heard the answer I wanted.

Old Bi laughed heartily twice.

"In that case, let's convene a conference immediately. A space base is imperative!"

It has broken free from the constraints of chemical rockets.

After entering space, the spacecraft goes first, and the base follows!

This is a normal approach to innovation.

Therefore, Mr. Bi's suggestion can be considered to have hit the mark for the next step.

Not long after, the project was approved.

Furthermore, the Academy of Military Sciences made even more radical modifications to Bi Lao's original plan.

This base will also serve as the central shaft for a future space elevator!

The project is called: Breath of Earth!

……

At the Northwest military base.

Fang Jing and Zhou Yuan boarded the Kunming warship.

The spaceship's corridors were spacious and bright, with enclosed fireproof gates at intervals.

Fang Jing took a stroll around the spaceship.

Electromagnetic guns, gun-launched missiles, naval guns, and high-powered laser weapons have been discovered.

It wasn't until he saw these weapons that Fang Jing felt like he was on a space battleship, not a submarine.

"Fang Jing, the spaceship is about to take off, let's get to the cockpit quickly!"

Zhou Yuan led Fang Jing to the cockpit of the spaceship.

At this moment, all the crew members in the bridge had serious expressions.

Wu Tong, who was transferred to the Kunming warship, had a serious expression.

His ship's insignia also changed from the original Nanjiang to the Kunming and the boundless universe.

Now, he is the captain of the Kunming frigate, the first space warship of the great Eastern power!

"Everyone, take your seats immediately!"

After receiving the command, Fang Jing and Zhou Yuan immediately found a spot to observe, sat down, and fastened their seatbelts.

"Air traffic control tower, this is the Kunming ship, requesting takeoff."

"Airspace cleared. Kunming, takeoff clearance. Best of luck!"

"Kunming ship understands!"

"Kakaka-"

At the Northwest Base, the originally flat ground suddenly began to slowly open up under the action of the drive shaft.

A spaceship with sharp lines, a futuristic design, and a hull painted with a dark five-pointed star and familiar identification markings fully revealed its robust size!

"Bang!"

A dull voice sounded.

The massive spaceship, with its electromagnetic pulse engine nozzles at the stern, began to turn, aiming at the ground.

At the same time, the bottom of the ship suddenly opened, and the auxiliary engine nozzles at the waist of the ship were also ready!

"All equipment has been tested and no abnormalities were found!"

"The fusion reactor is providing stable power!"

"Engine working normally!"

All the data was transmitted to Wu Tong.

With the assistance of the intelligent system, Wu Tong quickly issued instructions.

Now, everything is ready!

With his hand on the accelerator valve, Wu Tong lifted the protective cover of a series of buttons.

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"

I pressed them one by one.

Finally, he pushed the accelerator all the way up, his voice filled with excitement as he reported:

"Kunming, speed 3, takeoff!"

The spacecraft's tail nozzle and bottom auxiliary nozzle immediately emitted a ghostly blue light.

The immense thrust slowly lifted the entire spaceship.

Then, after reaching an altitude of 1,000 meters.

The auxiliary nozzle suddenly increased its force.

The entire flat spaceship completed its attitude change in mid-air, turning upright with its bow pointing upwards!
