Time: August to October 2008.
Project: NASA's Consultation Report.
Narrative:
Umbrella's Project Heading for Dawn achieved unprecedented success, sending six warships and four colony ships into space.
Due to NASA's Voyager and Pioneer programs, which actively exposed Earth's coordinates, human body structure, DNA, and many other reasons.
Therefore, Umbrella's First Fleet destroyed all Voyager 1 and 2, and Pioneer 10 and 11 probes between 12:20 and 13:12 on August 8th, Earth time.
Given the high cost of the four aircraft, Umbrella Corporation provided corresponding compensation to NASA.
NASA's attitude was not hostile, and they readily accepted the cash compensation.
At the same time, NASA proposed cooperating with the company's space technology department to jointly study the Universe and the Solar System.
NASA's first application was rejected.
The reason was the lack of any projects beneficial to our side, such as sharing detection satellites without providing 'rent' and technology to us.
Subsequently, NASA submitted six more applications to our side.
Ultimately, when the company determined that the rental amount would be profitable, it agreed to let NASA borrow the company's detection satellites on October 1st.
Coupled with the influence of the colonization plan, Umbrella's space technology completely formed a monopoly position.

Project: 'Wine Sea' colony.
Location: Moon.
Narrative:
'Wine Sea' is a small lunar sea located southwest of the'Sea of Tranquility' and'Sea of Fertility', with an area of about 84,000 square kilometers and a depth of about 1000 meters.
The average distance between the Moon and Earth is 380,000 kilometers, which is far less than the 50 million to 400 million kilometers to Mars, and it can be reached without a jump engine.
The area is suitable.
The terrain is flat.
And as a lunar sea, it has the natural advantage of resisting meteorites, so it is Umbrella's first choice for a lunar colony.
To this end, Hive modified the Um-255 based on the Arsenal.
The improvements to the Um-255 are as follows:
1. Ensured airtightness.
2. Increased carrying capacity.
3. Accelerated flight speed.
4. Lowered landing requirements.
Etc.
The Um-255 is also the only super-large transport aircraft in the World that can easily break free from Earth's gravity and travel into space.
The average time required for the Um-255 to travel to the Moon is about 48 hours.
Coupled with the hydrogen engine developed by Dr. Halsey, the load occupied by fuel is greatly reduced, and its transport capacity is equivalent to forty-five pelicans.
Because the airframe is too large, it cannot become a carrier-based aircraft for any ship.
When Project Heading for Dawn launched, twenty-five modified Um-255s were simultaneously delivered to Umbrella's Engineering Team for the construction of the 'Wine Sea' colony.
Under the rapid construction of Umbrella's Engineering Team and the super transport capacity of the Um-255, a station was successfully established in the 'Wine Sea' on October 1st, 2008.
The completion of the station greatly reduced the difficulty of the Um-255 landing on the lunar surface, and also made it more conducive to the expansion of the colony to the surrounding areas.
It is expected that a small colony city capable of accommodating 500,000 people will be built within six months.
Appendix File: Travel Project.
In order to maximize the company's profits, shortly after the 'Wine Sea' station was built, Hive carried out civilian modifications to the Um-255.
Comfort requirements must exceed the 'ancient' methods of international aviation, such as...
An A380 airliner rigidly squeezing in five hundred to eight hundred passengers.
While the Um-255, which is several times larger than an A380, can theoretically accommodate three thousand to three thousand five hundred non-combat personnel.
But Umbrella will not push the Um-255 to the extreme; instead, it focuses on comfort, after all, the journey to the Moon takes 48 hours.
In the end, the civilian version of the Um-255 can accommodate six hundred passengers, with activity areas, private spaces, free catering, movies, games, and many other functions.
The round-trip ticket is priced at eight thousand U.S. dollars, which is slightly higher than the economy class of international flights.
'Wine Sea' station has also established corresponding hotels and other entertainment centers, so that passengers can enjoy top-tier travel treatment after arriving on the Moon.
The attraction of the travel project is not the comfort of the airliner, or the hotels and entertainment facilities, but the unique scenery of the Moon.
To this end, Umbrella's film department assisted in shooting relevant advertisements to increase traffic for the travel project.
The following video file is a sample advertisement provided by the film department:
The screen shows a pitch-black background, with the floating and rotating red and White Umbrella logo in the center, and the words 'Umbrella Enterprise'.
Then comes magnificent music and a deep male voice-over.
It introduces that humans have never given up on the pursuit of deep space since ancient times, dreaming of one day traveling through the cosmic galaxy.
The screen gradually brightens, showing the Earth 'floating' in the pitch-black Universe, presenting a half-lit effect due to the angle of the Sun's illumination.
The camera slowly moves backward.
What is discovered is a window frame and special glass; it turns out that the view of Earth and the pitch-black Universe is outside the skylight, and the shooting location is actually on the Moon.
As the camera moves downward again, it is discovered that this is an entertainment center decorated like an island, with facilities such as beaches, simulated sunlight, surfing, and swimming.
The music turns soothing, and actors wearing various swimsuits play and frolic here.
Finally, Megan Fox appears wearing a bikini.
She twists her hips and puts her hands on her waist, showing her sexiest side, and says the line with a smile to the camera:
"At the 'Wine Sea' resort center, you will experience the true 'travel' through the cosmic galaxy. Booking methods are below."
After speaking, Umbrella's contact information appears at the bottom of the screen.
Phone: +1902777777, Email:..., etc.
Video playback ends.
Project Follow-up:
When the'Sea of Tranquility' station was built and two Um-255 passenger transport aircraft were put into use, the number of people who paid the deposit reached 20,000 on the first day.
Um-255 airliners are in short supply, and orders have surged, requiring at least ten aircraft in the early stage to solve the problem of numerous passengers.
Since then, the Um-255 model has become Umbrella's epoch-making multi-purpose transport aircraft, known as the'Space Train'.

Project: Europa
Goal: Solve the colony's Water resources.
Narrative:
1. 'Europa' was originally a moon of Jupiter.
2. Europa is a giant moon with a diameter of 3,138 kilometers. Its exterior is an ice layer 100 kilometers thick, and under the ice layer is an ocean composed of liquid Water.
3. After scanning and confirmation by Umbrella's First Fleet, the Water resources contained in Europa are 2.5 times that of Earth, enough to support the Water resource needs of various colonies in the Solar System.
4. Collecting ice samples revealed organic compounds and inorganic salts.
5. This indicates that simple life forms, such as single-celled organisms, may exist in the liquid ocean under the ice layer.
6. To avoid polluting and damaging Europa's marine ecological environment, the Fleet only collects the solid ice layer on the surface, processes it, and uses it as the Water resource for the colony.
7. The Fleet detected that there are abundant ice-like celestial bodies on the outer side of the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, which can also enrich the Water resources of the colony.
