In the 6525th year of the Xia calendar,
the case of Lu Xuan in Harbour City has not been closed yet, because Lu Xuan has not been found. Although Lu Xuan died in Fangzhangzhou, Lin Jiang and other senior officials do not believe that he is really dead. Relevant experts have deduced that he conducted cloning experiments. Perhaps the dead body is a clone, or perhaps the clone is still alive.
The search must continue. Lu Xuan is a huge threat. Lin Jiang cannot sit idly by and send people to investigate.
The anti-corruption operation led by Cao Ying has ended. It lasted for more than three years. During these three years, more than 200,000 people were implicated.
It started with the Eight Desolations Group. They investigated their smuggling operations in Penglaizhou and their illegal occupation of territory. Hundreds of people were caught in a row, from senior to middle-level, and almost two-thirds of the people were replaced. Then
, the Eight Desolations Group was involved in other consortiums, and then the Chinese officials, and tens of thousands of people were pulled down.
After all these were dealt with, the action was taken against the immortal cultivation families. These financial groups were all white gloves of the immortal cultivation families, working for these families, and they had colluded with each other for a long time. When
dealing with the financial groups, Cao Ying talked to the heads or leaders of each family, and told them very directly that the purpose of this action was to warn them. If they dared to show their teeth, Cao Ying would not mind a few genocide actions. Those who were not convinced could give it a try.
With the great god Cao Ying in control, the major families did not dare to act presumptuously. The progress of each action team was very smooth, and more than 100,000 people were punished.
Of course, not many people were actually executed, only more than 100 people, and more than 2,000 people had their cultivation abolished. Other punishments were varied, such as dismissal from office, several years of imprisonment, or direct corporal punishment, etc.
Those punished included representatives of the new generation such as Lin Liyan, as well as people from the Lin family. Lin Jiang did not show favoritism at all, which made many people convinced.
After the whole case came to an end, the social atmosphere of the whole China was cleared up. For the lawless elements in China, this incident was a great deterrent, and it also gave countless people who wanted to stand out an opportunity.

In the 6565th year of the Xia calendar,
Lin Jiang, Cao Ying, Cao Wang and others at the Huaxia Space Base were watching a top-secret video. This video was sent back by a spacecraft called the Pioneer. It took several years for the information to be sent back.
The video showed a planet, which was earthy yellow. When the view was zoomed in, heavy rain was seen, heavy rain of the entire planet.
This reminded Lin Jiang and others of the heavy rain at the end of the Xiuxian era, but compared with that heavy rain and this heavy rain, it was just a small house meeting a big house.
Lin Jiang and others saw dark clouds all over the world, thunder and lightning all over the world, and heavy rain all over the world. The whole planet seemed to be submerged in water.
"The Founder spacecraft was launched one hundred and sixty years ago, just after a breakthrough in space technology. It was built on the planet Cape III and launched at the end of that year, in the year 605 of the Blue Star lunar calendar. The design concept at the time was to abandon most of the functions and focus on speed. The entire spacecraft weighed only 1.5 tons, because most of the weight was replaced by space equipment, and the designed average speed was Mach 15,000."
"In actual flight, the average speed is far more than Mach 15,000, because we did not take into account the gravity of celestial bodies..." "After one hundred
and fifty years of actual flight, the Founder crossed a distance of three light years and then flew at a constant speed. During the flight, it began to observe the planet code-named New Hope..."
"The video we just saw is a computer's depiction of the observation results..."
"As we all know, water is the source of life. No matter what kind of life it is, it needs water..."
"Wait, you called me and Cao Ying here from far away, and you just tell me that the video we just saw was fake and synthesized?"
Cao Wang was still explaining non-stop, and Lin Jiang interrupted him. Did he get excited for nothing?
Lin Jiang really thought that Cao Wang and his team had found a habitable planet, but now he was told that it was fake. Lin Jiang said he couldn't accept this.
"Ancestor Lin, the Founder spacecraft is still a long way from the New Hope planet..."
"Don't talk to me about that, how far is it?"
"About half the distance, it should be about 3.5 light years away"
"Can it fly there in 150 years?"
"It can't fly there, the Founder doesn't have enough energy, Ancestor, listen to me, although the video just now is fake, we have scientific basis"
"You say"
"The Founder has the most advanced space telescope at the time, and it has enough computing power to calculate. According to us..."
Cao Wang continued to speak, Lin Jiang and Cao Ying were confused, but they understood the general meaning.
Cao Wang meant that although the Founder spacecraft did not reach the New Hope planet, it was within a sufficient distance, and the robot on it used the space telescope to observe, and built models based on various scientific principles, and then synthesized the video, which was not much different from the real planet.
“So what you mean is that this New Hope planet has the potential to become a habitable planet?”
“Yes, ancestor, it is the second closest habitable planet to us, so it is called New Hope. In addition, our planet also experienced prehistoric floods, and thunderstorms lasted for more than one million years. This has been confirmed by geologists.”
“More than one million years, are you sure? This is longer than the history of the immortal world. The history that can be confirmed in the immortal world will not exceed two million years.”
Lin Jiang was shocked. This was something he really didn’t know. Has the Blue Star ever been so awesome?
"I'm sure it was 300 million to 500 million years ago. At that time, the blue planet was hot and humid, and it rained heavily for more than a million years. There were volcanoes and earthquakes at any time. There was no life at that time, at most some bacteria."
"Then what?"
"We named this era prehistoric, or primitive, so this planet is now in the primitive era, the real primitive era. When this rainstorm is over, life will be born on New Hope."
"How reliable is it?"
"I can't give you a 100% guarantee for scientific matters, but we all agree that the possibility is more than 50%. If we want to carry out interstellar migration, this planet is our first choice."
"Tell me what you need."
"Give me another sum of money, about 1 trillion Chinese yuan, and I will build a more advanced spacecraft, launched from Cape No. 7, and it is expected to take two hundred years to fly to the vicinity of New Hope, and then send a lander to investigate New Hope. If it is confirmed to be true, we can launch an interstellar immigration plan in a thousand years at the latest."
"Two hundred years to fly seven and a half light years, which is one thirtieth of the speed of light. Can you do it?"
"Yes, but it is limited to aircraft. Aircraft and space carriers are two different things. The volume and weight of the two are several million times different,"
Cao Wang said. There is no gravity in space, but it does not mean that mass does not exist. The weight difference of several million times will result in different speeds, so aircraft and space carriers are two different things.
"What should we do when we arrive at the New Hope Planet? Isn't it raining heavily there? Isn't it going to rain more than a million times?"
"Ancestor, the situation on each planet is different, and the ancestor underestimates our current strength. With the combination of technology and cultivation, our influence on the environment is extremely terrible. If the news is confirmed, we can specifically develop how to deal with this matter. I believe that there will be a way to completely solve it within a hundred years. It is not a problem to spend another three to five hundred years to transform that planet. Coupled with the breakthrough in interstellar transportation technology, it is not a problem to complete the interstellar immigration plan within a thousand years.
Ancestor, I don't know how much money has been invested in the space project. Anyway, it is countless. We have persisted for hundreds of years. This is not a big deal. Just agree to it,"
Cao Wang begged bitterly. Lin Jiang and Cao Ying looked at each other. It seems that this money must be invested, even if it means selling everything.
