I Shall Seal the Heavens Chapter 1147 – Returning to Earth

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Jiang Chen arrived in Lunar City.

During these three days, the mayor of Lunar City, Tang Weijie, took Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu on a tour of the city.

From the ice exploration wells, to the mining station that collected helium-3, to the nuclear fusion power station that transported electricity to half of Asia, and the wireless power transmission station over a hundred square meters in size, Jiang Chen was able to gain a clear view of Lunar City’s development.

In general, Lunar City had a strong mining industry with a growing tourism industry. The city was a giant mine with complete mining facilities, ground transportation, power supply, communication scheduling, production management and living service facilities.

According to Tang Weijie, to fully develop the potential of the city, at least 50,000 permanent residents would be needed. Before the living space issues could be solved, the limit of the permanent population of the city would be this number.

The shield technology must be dependent on the progress in Wanghai of the apocalypse.

Jiang Chen thought.

It’s time to return to the apocalypse.

…

With all officials of Lunar City’s best wishes, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu boarded the returning spacecraft.

After they returned to Celestial City, the first thing he did was to convene experts of Future Heavy Industries and Celestial Trade and held a seminar on the Moon elevator.

Under the guise of the group of experts, the engineering plan for the Moon elevator was quickly developed.

Jiang Chen immediately discussed this matter with Kelvin and delegated the work after the feasibility of the project was confirmed,

With the boss personally instructing this matter, the Moon elevator project began to move. Future Heavy Industries immediately dispatched engineers to Lunar City for site inspection. The graphene plant in Ange Island Industrial Park began to operate at maximum capacity. The capacity that was originally idle due to the completion of the space elevator started to ramp up again.

The total length of the entire Moon elevator was 200 kilometers with a budget of 3.7 billion New Xin dollars. The project of course was still executed by Future Heavy Industries and was expected to be delivered to Celestial Trade in the first half of next year.

When Jiang Chen delegated all the work on hand, it was already the 13th.

After he stayed in space for so long, he finally returned to the surface. When his feet stepped onto the soft soil again, he had an illusion of long-lostness.

The seagulls soared in the air, the dolphins jumped out of the water, the warm and hazy sunshine scattered on his face, and the sea breeze that blew in his face was mixed with the fragrance of coconut… these ordinary things on Earth just felt like home.

Jiang Chen went straight home when he returned to Coro Island by helicopter.

As early as three days ago, when he worked to develop the plan for the Moon elevator in Celestial City, Xia Shiyu had already returned. She should be working today. Natasha also shouldn’t be home since she “checked in” at the embassy from Monday to Friday.

In this case, there was only one person who could open the door for him…

When Jiang Chen knocked on the door of the mansion, a stunning figure leaped into his arms.

Jiang Chen spun Ayesha in the air, stroked her dark brown hair, and whispered to her.

“Did you miss me?”

Ayesha nodded with force, buried her face in his chest, and rubbed her nose against him. Finally, a smile blossomed from the usually expressionless face.

After Ayesha took the suitcase from Jiang Chen’s hand, she ran upstairs

Jiang Chen hung his coat at the door, then went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he opened the door again, a change of clothes was placed in a plastic basket. Looking at the neatly folded clothes, he felt her meticulous care to detail.

The clothes smelled like sunlight.

After he changed into clean clothes, Jiang Chen wiped his hair with a towel and returned to the living room.

Looking at Ayesha, who sat on the sofa in the living room, he sat next to her.

“Has anything happened in Nippon while I was away?”

Ayesha shook her head.

“The CIB suspended their espionage activities in Nippon, at least they stopped their contact with the Nippon politicians. We are basically in an armistice with the CIB, although I don’t know how long this can last… Also, on another note, why did you ask us to pay attention to Joseph Kennedy? Is there anything special about him? If it’s just because of B City Consortium—”

“Guess who I met in Lunar City? I met Loki,” Jiang Chen said. “He discussed forming an alliance. He said that if Joseph Kennedy becomes president, they will give Nippon to us and also join the Earth Defense Alliance.”

“Did you agree?” Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen.

“Of course not,” Jiang Chen shrugged. “This piece of meat is too fat and I’m afraid it may taste bad.”

No matter from which point of view, the B City Consortium’s proposal was considered generous. If there was a problem, then it was probably because the proposal was too generous. It was generous to the point that Jiang Chen couldn’t trust them.

Obviously, Ayesha also shared the same perspective.

“According to your instructions, we have begun to investigate Joseph Kennedy.”

“Who is responsible for this mission?”

“Penny.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

The name rang a bell in his head. Zhu Yu and she were the first batch of graduated agents, a veteran in Ghost Agents. She should be able to take care of the matter with no mistakes.

The Earth Defense Alliance was headed on the right track, but there was still a long way to go to integrate resources around the world. The biggest obstacle to this was the ruler of the old world. As the leader of the world’s largest military body, as long as the UA still existed for one day, the sphere of influence of the Earth Defense Alliance could only stay in the Eastern Hemisphere.

However, the issue was that both sides controlled the switch to destroy the world.

The two sides could only test away from the opponent’s bottom line.

Although the two sides still maintained high-standard economic and trade cooperation, the signs of the Cold War had quietly emerged. If this balance could be maintained, the situation would be fine. However, if the fine balance was broken by one side, then the situation may deteriorate to the point of no return.

Who was the most likely to tip the balance?

Jiang Chen’s answer was undoubtedly the UA.

He thought he had a theoretical basis.

After all, the country changed its president every four years!

Without considering the differences between the two parties, the differences within the same party alone were visible enough. If a madman was elected without any common sense, the results would not be certain.

In this case, whether or not the promise of B City Consortium would be honored, it would not be a bad choice to push Joseph Kennedy to the position of the president. After all, Future Group still has close cooperation with B City Consortium in the areas of desalination and VR finance.

Of course, Jiang Chen would not be without reservation.

Ghost Agents in North America had started to collect Joseph Kennedy’s scandals. Jiang Chen believed there was no politician without stains. With further digging, there must be something hidden underneath the surface.

“I will go back to the apocalypse in a few days. I’ll leave everything here to you.” Jiang Chen rubbed Ayesha’s hair.

Ayesha put her hand over his and docilely nodded.

“Mhmm.”
