Guide to Galactic Dominance

Xu Lanzhou stretched his excellent figure and looked at the lazy cat-eared fox by the window, feeling somewhat melancholy.

The cute little guy turned his head and glanced at Xu Lanzhou, who had just gotten up, and then laid his head down again, looking listless. It was the cat-eared fox that Bai Zhongcui raised. Bai Zhongcuo did not take it with him to the sacred falcon, but left it to Xu Lanzhou to take care of it.

Xu Lanzhou sat up from the bed, her two white calves resting on the ground, holding on to the edge of the bed with both hands. Warm sunlight poured in from the window. She sat in the sunlight, as alluring and beautiful as a water lotus.

Xu Lanzhou's personal assistant AI greeted her through the smart home system: "Good morning, Commander Xu."

"Good morning." Xu Lanzhou heard the voice and slowly came out of his dazed state.

"It has been 77 days since the head of state embarked on a strategic reconnaissance trip."

Xu Lanzhou's expression was a bit blank. After Bai Zhongqi left, she set such a timer. Although she didn't know what her motive was, she did it.

"Your Excellency, Commander, while you were sleeping, we received the latest news from the Holy Falcon. His Majesty the Head of State defeated the enemy's supply fleet on the Puping Star and successfully contained the enemy's invasion to a certain extent. The Head of State It has led the Holy Falcon back to the Danlu Interstellar Cloud and is expected to arrive at the Earth's Ruyi City Space Port in 17 days and 11 hours."

After Xu Lanzhou heard the news, her whole face suddenly became more radiant, and she didn't even realize it. The little kitten-eared fox by the window seemed to know what was about to happen. It jumped down from the window lattice, walked up to Xu Lanzhou and started barking, looking very cute.

Xu Lanzhou jumped out of bed, a little girlish. There seemed to be more joy in her voice, and she said to the artificial intelligence assistant: "What are your work arrangements today?"

"The Aquarius-class aircraft carrier of the Star Alliance Space Force will be officially launched today, and you will attend the launching ceremony. The afternoon is your routine approval time for various tasks of the Space Force."

Xu Lanzhou nodded and quickly walked into the bathroom. The cleaning robot was suspended in the air and finished cleaning her. This kind of robot is now widely sold on the earth. They are connected to the personal assistant AI to provide services for individuals, such as bathing, cleansing, brushing teeth and skin care.

Commander Xu, who had taken care of himself and had breakfast, left home and prepared to go to work. She opened the door and there was already a car waiting for her. After getting on the vehicle, the float vehicle took off and flew at a speed of more than 200 knots.

At such speeds, people in the car can't see clearly what's outside. In many cases, some people will get motion sickness, so the glass in the car can be adjusted to an opaque form, or simply turned into a screen to display some pictures. The stability of the Iridium floating car is very good, and you can't feel any bumps when traveling at high speed in mid-air. Coupled with the internal damping system, people feel as if there is no movement on land when the vehicle is driving.

Xu Lanzhou did not open the glass screen, but looked at the vehicles and buildings passing by quickly outside. Taiping City has existed for more than eight months. During this time, Taiping City has also developed rapidly. Originally this place existed as a new special zone of Country C, but after Iridium's head of state Bai Zhongqi used the Tezion invasion to unify the earth under the Star Alliance government, Nansha Island increasingly became the home of all races on the earth. The gathering place has also become the de facto center of earth's politics.

At this time, the population of Taiping City alone has exceeded 2 million, 97% of which are Chinese immigrants from Country C and all over the world. There is no engineering difficulty in immigrating to Nansha Island. Basically, people just come. When Bai Zhongqi designed Nansha Island in Home Stone, he had already built various facilities, from residences to schools, hospitals, and shopping malls, to meet people's daily needs.

Coupled with the work arranged by Star Alliance, people can often quickly find their place on Nansha Island. Nowadays, some of the residents who come to Nansha Island from other countries are the family members of non-State C Star Alliance officials, and some are the family members of non-State C Space Force members. It is also open for citizens of other countries to apply for the right of residence in Nansha Island, but there are no two aspects above. Due to status, there are not many open places and it is difficult to apply.

After all, Nansha Island, Ruyi City and Yuegong City are the fully interstellar civilized cities of the Star Alliance in the true sense. Although other earth cities and some cities on Cuihai Planet are being "modernized" rapidly, the structural problems of the old cities are not so Easily changeable.

After Xu Lanzhou arrived at Taiping Airport, he took a shuttle ship to Ruyi City. There are now more than 20 airports around the world offering flights to Ruyi City, which generally take no more than 20 minutes. Ruyi City is now the largest spaceport on earth and has already undertaken extremely heavy logistics work. Various resources from other planets are continuously sent to the earth. The Earth has established a large number of Iridium-type industrial bases, which produce a variety of livelihood and industrial products. The consumption of resources is also extremely huge. In order to protect the Earth's environment, the Star Alliance has basically stopped all kinds of destructive activities. Earth’s local resource extraction.

Ruyicheng Spaceport has gradually been unable to meet the earth's huge transportation and mooring needs. Especially the growing space military fleet is obviously not suitable for competing with merchant ships for berths. The Star Alliance has built a dedicated military port near the Earth Shipyard, named Changxiu Port.

The launching ceremony was not held in Ruyi City, but in Changxiu Port. After Xu Lanzhou arrived, he met the new captain who was about to take over the USS Aquarius aircraft carrier, the former meritorious captain of the Navy of Country C, Lu Zhinian.

Xu Lanzhou nodded at Lu Zhinian. She was very impressed by Captain Lu. He is the only Earthling to pass the Star Alliance battleship captain assessment within just three months of training. The two previous battleships, the Eridanus and Fomalhaut divisions, were both captained by two Iridium men. In this selection to be the captain of the Aquarius, Lu Zhinian defeated two other Iridium colleagues to get this position.

On Iridium, someone like Lu Zhinian who passed the capital ship command qualification assessment in three months was a unique genius, so Xu Lanzhou did not hesitate and directly appointed him as the captain of the Aquarius.

The launching ceremony of Star Alliance does not include a particularly Western-style bottle throwing, a particularly Maozi-style blessing from a priest, or a very Eastern-style offering of a pig's head for prayer. The Iridium people will open all the weapons on the battleship from the weapons bay and turn on the lights on all the battleships. At the same time, each crew member will paste one of his or her blood patches on the inner wall of the battleship's cabin.

This is a very traditional custom of the Iridium Space Force, which is to judge the heart with blood and vow to live and die with the battleship.
