Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 503 Journey to Venus
Zhong Yi and Alicia set off from Tiangongcheng on the afternoon of February 2, and took the space plane Alchemy to Venus.

Since Venus at this time is about 1.2 million kilometers away from the earth, and the earth is on both sides of the sun, it took them more than 30 hours to reach Taibai City above Venus.

They are not in the mood to appreciate the man-made spectacle of Mercury orbiting Venus, and feel that the appearance of Venus, which was originally like a lava fireball, has turned into a white cloud-shrouded appearance.

April 3st morning.

Zhong Yi and the others got off the Alchemy space plane from Taibai City Space Port.

The commander of the Federal Army's Venus Defense Forces greeted them and assigned a major officer surnamed Lee to be in charge of their activities on Venus.

The commander of the Venus Defense Force didn't know the mission of Zhong Yi and the two of them, but he just told Major Li to obey Zhong Yi's orders.

Zhong Yi and the two didn't stay in Taibai City, they directly took the space ladder of Venus to the Chang Gung City on the surface of Venus.

Major Li introduced that in the early Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the name of Venus was Chang Gung, so the largest city on Venus was named Chang Gung City.

Chang Gung City is located on the equator of Venus and is connected to Taibai City through a space ladder. It is the capital of the Venus administrative region and the transportation hub of Venus.

Due to the ravages of Zerg in the past few years, the development of Venus has been seriously affected, and the development level is far inferior to that of Mercury, which was developed in the same period.

At present, most of the more than 1 million immigrants on Venus also escaped from the earth due to the demon war in the past half a year.

Due to time constraints, the Federation had no time to prepare comfortable living quarters for these immigrants on Venus.

The living conditions of the immigrants are still relatively difficult. Most of them still live in temporary shacks in various cities on Venus, and the task of building homes is mainly completed by these immigrants themselves.

Fortunately, the environment on Venus has been transformed to be similar to that of Earth, and the ecosystem has begun to take shape. The immigrants have no problem surviving on Venus. They are already very satisfied to be able to stay away from the war on Earth.

But such a paradise is only temporary. If the Federation is defeated on Earth, the flames of war will soon reach Venus.

Although Zhong Yi was very interested in the huge renovation project carried out by his father, time did not allow him to visit it specially.

They left Chang Gung City's space ladder ground transfer center, and immediately boarded a military electric speed car that had been prepared, and left Chang Gung City to fly to the southern hemisphere of Venus.

There are two main continental highlands on the great plain on the surface of Venus. The northern highland is called Ishtar, which has the highest Maxwell Mountains on Venus (about 2000 meters higher than the Himalayas).

The Laxmi Plateau is surrounded by the Maxwell Mountains, and Ishtar is about the size of Australia.

There is the larger Aphrodite Highlands in the southern hemisphere, which is about the size of South America.

Between these highlands are many extensive lowlands, including the lowlands of the Etalanta Plain, the Genavillian Lowlands, and the Lavinian Plains.

With the exception of Maxwell Mountains, all Venusian landforms are named after real or mythical Western women.

Because of the great development of Venus after the establishment of the Human Federation, some of the original geographical names of Venus were preserved, and only the newly-built cities and newly-emerged rivers and lakes were named in Chinese.

The alchemy project carried out by the Red Star Company, thousands of icy asteroids hit Venus, completely changing the surface of Venus.

A large amount of water formed the Venusian ocean in the lowlands. Currently, the ocean area on Venus accounts for about 30% of the area. Venus still has a land area that is more than twice the size of the earth.

Such a vast land can support at least 200 billion people by the standards of the earth.

If you count Mercury, which has become a satellite of Venus, Venus may become the largest human colony in the solar system.

The land that Zhong Cheng assigned to the Forgotten Clan is the Aphrodite Highland in the high latitude region of the southern hemisphere of Venus, now the Aphrodite Continent.

It only took two hours for Zhong Yi and his party to arrive at the seaside of the Lavinia Sea in the military air vehicle.

The major asked Zhong Yi that beyond this [-]-kilometer sea is the continent of Aphrodite, the quarantine zone set up by the Federation on Venus, and no one is allowed to enter without the highest authorization of the Federation.

Zhong Yi thought to himself, maybe the Venus Defense Force Command doesn't even know what's in this quarantine area. After all, the Federation hasn't officially confirmed its relationship with the Forsaken, and the existence of the Forsaken is still a secret of the Federation.

Zhong Yi showed that he was authorized by the Supreme Command of the Federation, and he ordered the military speeder to move forward.

Half an hour later, the high-speed military flying vehicle arrived at the coast of Aphrodite mainland.

At this moment, more than a dozen black dots flew over from the inland direction of the coast, and arrived in front of the military flying vehicle in a short while.

Zhong Yi recognized at a glance that this was the Tiger Guard mechanical warrior manufactured by the Twelve Red Star Company before the war.

It's just that the appearance is already tattered, and the alloy skeleton and mechanical parts inside are exposed in many places, with obvious signs of being bitten by sharp minions.

He quickly judged that this must be the "scar" left in the war with the Zerg. Zerg fighters can tear open the shell made of chaos alloy, so it must be no problem to deal with monsters.

At the same time, he was also surprised to find that these tiger guard mechanical warriors controlled by the Forgotten were completely free of the rigidity of the previous robots, and became flexible and agile, with an indescribable "spirituality".

In addition to coming to Venus to negotiate with the Forsaken, Zhong Yi also took on the task of investigating the combat effectiveness of the Forsaken and the Zerg.

When Zhong Yi carefully observed the Forsaken fighters, they had already hovered in front of the military speeding vehicle, stopping the military speeding vehicle from moving forward.

Then, a mechanical voice sounded in the ears of a group of people, "You have entered the restricted area illegally, please leave immediately!"

Major Li and the driver looked at Zhong Yi blankly, neither of them knew how to face this situation.

Zhong nodded to Alicia, opened the car door, and drove the mecha out.

In order to show that there was no hostility, the two of them did not pull out their weapons, nor closed their mecha masks, and flew in front of the twelve Forsaken fighters without any haste.

Zhong Yi took a quick look at them. They were not wearing military uniforms, and there was no difference in appearance, but there was a moon logo on the left chest of their shells.

A Forsaken in the middle has three moons, most of the rest have one, and some have two.

Zhong Yi knew it well, and he said to the Forsaken in March: "Hi, I am the special envoy of the Federation. I am entrusted by Zhong Cheng, the highest military and political officer of the Federation, to meet your leader. Please inform us!"

The red light in the eyes of the Forsaken in March flickered, and after a while, it said to Zhong Yi: "Please follow us!"

Zhong Yi was surprised how it communicated with its superiors. The Forsaken would definitely not use the Federation's satellite communication system.

The continent of Aphrodite is so large, they can only communicate through ground signal stations, but it is more likely to be an unknown method.

Maybe it's the same way of contacting the demons.

Zhong Yi turned his head and said to the major and the driver: "You don't have to follow, just wait for us by the seaside!"

He believes that the less people know about the existence of the Forsaken and the Zerg before reaching an agreement with the Forsaken, the better.

The military flying vehicle landed on the beach, and the four Forsaken guarded the surrounding vigilantly.

Zhong Yi and Alicia followed the other eight Forgotten Ones and flew towards the inland direction of Aphrodite Continent.
