103: Chapter 103 The horrifying truth!

Minister Zheng Changshun, the Minister of Health, frowned even deeper after hearing the medical professor's words.

According to research, this is a newly emerged virus with an extremely high transmission rate, capable of spreading through airborne droplets.

Moreover, the virus can survive for up to 3 days in a natural environment, and any place a virus carrier has stayed poses a risk of transmission within 3 days.

It is even more virulent than the coronavirus that emerged a few years ago.

Most alarmingly, this virus has an extremely long incubation period; patients found to carry the virus half a month ago have only shown mild lung disease symptoms to date.

Most people would mistake it for a mild cold and ignore it.

It is precisely these combined factors that make this virus quite terrifying.

Minister Zheng Changshun stood up and issued orders to the medical doctors and professors present.

"You must quickly research the final symptoms after this virus worsens, what the mortality rate is, and also develop a vaccine for it. This matter is urgent; I do not wish to see another pandemic like a few years ago that led to cities being locked down!"

All these experts stood up and firmly accepted the order!

After the meeting, Minister Zheng Changshun instructed his secretary:

"Prepare the car, I need to see the Chief!"

The secretary acknowledged the order and went to prepare the car.

...

After Chen Yu returned from the Magic City, he had Su Rou register a Huanyu Entertainment company.

The first and only artist signed under it was his own younger sister.

Then, he had Su Rou find many high-quality scripts for Chen Jia to choose from, allowing her to film whatever she wanted.

No matter how big the supporting actors' status, they were directly invited.

With official assistance, all the big names in the entertainment industry were eager to appear in Huanyu Entertainment's productions.

This instantly made Chen Jia the top celebrity in the entertainment industry and the star with the strongest background.

After more than half a month of construction, Chen Yu's space elevator has been completed.

Moreover, the parts for the first homeland-class spaceship were manufactured at an incredible speed given the abundant materials, and three-quarters of it has already been built.

Now that the space elevator is also built, it can be transported into space for assembly.

Chen Yu estimates that in another ten days to half a month, the first homeland-class mothership, as huge as a city, will be completed.

Although this homeland-class spaceship has not yet had a city or ecosystem built inside it.

The first one is entirely for mining and loading minerals from other planets.

So, no city was built inside it. If an ecosystem and city were to be built, that would require a very long time.

Chen Yu's space elevator is located at the very center of Huanyu Technology Park because Huanyu Technology Park is simply too large.

Those onlookers outside the technology park's walls could only vaguely see something stretching straight into the sky, several kilometers away at the center of the technology park.

They did not know what it was. Now, the military no longer has any restrictions on Huanyu Technology, because it simply cannot be restricted.

Whatever Chen Yu does within the technology park, few outsiders know about it.

Even the spy satellites of all countries worldwide cannot photograph the interior of Huanyu Technology.

Only Cao Guangde would frequently call Chen Yu to understand what he was doing.

Just like that, another half month passed, and Chen Yu's homeland-class spaceship in space had basically completed assembly, with only the final inspection remaining.

The entire homeland-class spaceship is 10 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide, and 3 kilometers high, with a total mass of 150 to 200 million tons.

Its cargo capacity can reach as high as 300 to 500 million tons.

Basically, filling one homeland-class spaceship with mineral resources is enough to build an underground shelter base.

Chen Yu piloted the landing craft into the enormous hangar inside the homeland-class spaceship.

This area can accommodate hundreds of landing crafts of this size.

Chen Yu plans to also dock No. 1 Mothership from the Moon in the homeland-class spaceship's hangar.

The first homeland-class spaceship uses a controllable nuclear fusion engine for propulsion.

Because Chen Yu does not have the technical authority for the controllable antimatter annihilation engine like the one on No. 1 Mothership, he can only use the controllable nuclear fusion engine.

To provide sufficient power, Chen Yu madly built ten nuclear fusion engines for the homeland-class spaceship.

According to Chen Yu, if the technology isn't sufficient, make up for it with quantity; miracles happen with brute force.

Ten super-large nuclear fusion engines driving such a massive homeland-class spaceship are completely fine.

Even with ten nuclear fusion engines equipped, its speed is still significantly slower than No. 1 Mothership's conventional speed in space.

However, its maximum speed also reaches around 600 kilometers per second, which is only one-fifth of No. 1 Mothership's conventional speed.

Of course, due to its immense mass, the homeland-class spaceship will also require longer times for acceleration and deceleration.

But Chen Yu was still quite satisfied; at this speed, the homeland-class spaceship.

At least within the Solar System, he can travel between Jupiter and return within a month.

Furthermore, within the Solar System, rocky planets with mining value include Venus, Mercury, Mars, the Asteroid Belt, and dozens of moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Most rocky planets are relatively close to Earth, allowing for a round trip in a few days, so the speed of the homeland-class spaceship is not slow.

Three more days passed, and Chen Yu's first homeland-class spaceship completed its comprehensive inspection; all equipment was operating normally, and it was ready to go mining in outer space at any time.

Chen Yu also docked No. 1 Mothership in the homeland-class spaceship's massive hangar.

Now, almost all of his possessions are on this homeland-class spaceship.

Chen Yu stood in the luxurious command center of the homeland-class spaceship, which was built according to his own style and fully furnished.

Chen Yu lay on the luxurious sofa and instructed the intelligent brain.

"Intelligent Brain, we are almost ready. Let's depart now, first to Venus. According to the probes we left there earlier, there are large quantities of nickel and titanium ore, even more than Earth's iron ore. Using these materials for the outer walls of underground shelters will make them much harder than iron ore!"

"Okay, Captain, I am setting the course for Venus. Currently, Venus is 84 million kilometers away from us and will take approximately two days to reach."

This highlights the difference; No. 1 Mothership would only take a little over 7 hours to cover this distance.

However, this time is still satisfactory to Chen Yu, considering Earth's Mars probes take more than half a year to fly.

"Good, depart!"

The massive fixed device connecting the homeland-class spaceship to the space elevator and spaceport space station slowly opened.

The homeland-class spaceship's ten super-large controllable nuclear fusion engines started, and such a colossal spaceship slowly moved towards deep space.

"Set all ten nuclear fusion engines to maximum power!"

"Okay, Captain, increasing nuclear fusion engine output power: 50 kilometers per second, 100 kilometers per second, 200 kilometers per second, 300 kilometers per second, 400 kilometers per second, 500 kilometers per second, 600 kilometers per second."

"homeland-class spaceship has reached maximum speed. Acceleration took 30 minutes. The current trajectory is correct, and the spaceship's attitude is good. We will arrive at Venus in 48.5 hours."

As Chen Yu left Earth and ventured into deep space, the situation within Yanxia on Earth was already far from calm.

After these days of spread and fermentation, the targeted virus has become increasingly severe.

Under the research of scientists at the Yanxia Biological Gene Research Institute, a terrifying fact was discovered!
