Gate of Technology

Cheng Yuan was also looking at the comments on the official website. What surprised him most was that he really didn't know there were laws in space.

If it wasn't for the netizens on the forum to say it, he would not have thought about it at all.

While waiting for the diamond to be sent back, he also took the time to check the laws on space on the Internet.

The information obtained from the Internet is very one-sided. Cheng Yuan is looking at it in a fog. All in all, this law is more like a kind of coordination, not a law.

For example, if you want to launch any space equipment, it is mandatory that you register with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, but Cheng Yuan doesn't know how many things have been launched into space, but he has never found the so-called Secretary-General of the United Nations, but he still should How to do or how to do it.

This aspect is basically blank, almost a dispensable regulation.

Because in the Space Law, there are clear provisions that any country or individual is strictly prohibited from deploying super-conventional weapons in outer space, and the so-called super-conventional weapons refer to nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.

But although this regulation exists, hasn't the Yankees made a space-based weapon on their own?

The actions of the United States have not caused any reaction. From this point of view, it can be seen that the so-called space law is a superficial form and has no so-called effect at all.

After reading it, Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the space law was very strict, but it turned out to be an empty shell after a long time! I don't dare to be careless if the process is far away. After all, it is an empty shell now, and it will be hard to say in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just the asteroid he is now focusing on mining has brought in more than 35 billion US dollars!

And this value estimate is not an evaluation made by himself, but made by others!

As for the true value of this asteroid, Cheng Yuan will definitely not say it, but even if he doesn't say it now, other people's assessment of the asteroid's value will definitely be twice as high as before, or even more.

After all, there is such a big diamond in the middle, and the value is simply immeasurable!

Zero, it seems that we have to speed up the pace. Cheng Yuan closed the web page and said to Zero: The laws related to space will definitely be formed at the fastest speed. Before that, we must try our best to bring ourselves the maximum Interests.

Today, the space law is still like an empty shell, but Cheng Yuan does not dare to be careless, because the benefits that space resources can bring are still too far away for 99.9% of people.

Because of technical difficulties, the cost of space mining is very high!

In addition, for now, no one can really obtain resources from valuable asteroids in space, so this aspect is naturally blank.

But once space mining can really bring benefits, relevant laws and regulations will definitely be perfected and implemented at the fastest speed.

This is inevitable.

Interests are moving, even for countries. If not for profit, where is the need for war?

Therefore, if Cheng Yuan wants to not be affected by this regulation, he must speed up his pace as much as possible before the gap in this area is filled.

As for being maverick, this idea is very tempting, but Cheng Yuan hesitated. After all, eating alone is already enviable, and if you are maverick, wouldn't it be completely difficult for you to live with yourself?

But it is impossible for him to give up his own interests, just as Cheng Yuan frowned and pondered, Zero suddenly said: Sir, you don't have to worry, according to the current situation, those who can collect space resources, there's only us!

We can use the lowest cost to get the maximum benefit. Even if there are legal restrictions, it is impossible to force you to take out the benefits, which will seriously interfere with commercial regulations. According to my speculation, the most possibility is to increase business Operational tax costs.”

If this is the case, we can start the self-sufficiency program and provide all the collected resources for our own use, or process them into finished products and sell them.

zero explanation,

It made Cheng Yuan feel a lot better, but he still didn't relax, because even if it didn't affect him, there were still faint constraints, which made Cheng Yuan extremely uncomfortable.

Let's speed up development. After all, even if it's not for this regulation, we have to consider the future. Cheng Yuan finally decided.

Okay, sir, I will draw 40% of the company's funds for space development. Zero replied.

As for how much development 40% of the funds can bring, according to Cheng Yuan's calculations, it will be a big step!

Because Cheng Yuan's development is now half self-sufficient, 80% of the materials for the small transport ships he is currently manufacturing are provided by himself and produced by himself.

To achieve complete self-sufficiency, Cheng Yuan said that it is very difficult, and it is impossible on earth, because once he leaves this big environment, he can know what kind of treatment he will receive without thinking.

So Cheng Yuan set his sights on space.

The resources in space are extremely rich, there are a variety of metal minerals, some on the earth have them in the universe, but not on the earth, and there are also in the universe!

And there are countless water sources. Every asteroid contains more or less the frozen water source of Dalian. These are all fresh water resources that can be drunk!

With metal minerals and water, Cheng Yuan only needs to supplement crops and other food, and he can create a large-scale ecosystem in space and achieve complete self-sufficiency!

And Cheng Yuan believes that the most profitable space resources are not metal minerals, but fresh water resources!

As for why he thinks so, it is because the earth's freshwater resources are in short supply step by step. Maybe you may not feel much now, but as time goes by, the lack of water resources is inevitable.

As hard as you might find it to imagine, how could the material that covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface be exhausted? But if you think about it, 96 percent of the 71 percent of the water on the planet is salt water, would you still think that's much?

Not much at all!

In today’s environment, you can also roughly realize that droughts are becoming more and more common, and many times there is no rain in a month.

This means that a fraction of the fresh water we have is drying up too!

And the data also shows that water scarcity is not a casual problem, but a problem that every country in the world needs to face.

Today, 1.2 billion people around the world have no access to water, and 1.6 billion people live in water-difficult conditions.

When water is running out, you may even have trouble buying a bottle of water on the side of the road!

However, this time will take a long time to appear, although it will not appear in recent years, but it is definitely not long!

Some people think that this is simply unfounded worry. The sky is falling and there is still a tall person on it. What are we worried about?

But the problem is that Cheng Yuan is standing at this height, and maybe even if there is a shortage of global water resources in the future, he may drink enough water in his own capacity.

But is this really good? Although Cheng Yuan is not the kind of person who is overflowing with sympathy, it is also impossible to watch the water shortage and the outbreak of war.

Even though this time may take a long time, this will not be a hindrance for Chengyuan to sell space water resources.

Besides, the name of a space water will definitely bring good sales.

After all, people who have never tried it before and have a good economic foundation will never mind to try to see what water in space is like.

Given the conditions and the market, why doesn't Cheng Yuan sell?

After all, there are so many water resources, even if you can't use them up, you can't waste them.

Moreover, many people may have experienced the life of water shortage. When the water in the area where they live is suddenly cut off for a day or two, how big is the impact?

When you're thirsty, only to find that there's no water in the kettle, leaving you dry and even restless.

You can't even cook because you don't have water.

At that time, you had to go out to buy water, go out to eat for meals, and even go to the bathroom to take a shower!

What is such a life like?

You don't need to go into detail, you can imagine it.

We don't sell mineral resources, we sell water! Cheng Yuan made a decision in his heart. Anyway, as long as there is no problem with the quality of water, there will be no obstacles.

Of course, after deciding to sell water, Cheng Yuan did not forget to ask about the construction on the asteroid.

Zero, how long will it take for our transfer station to complete.

About a week, sir. The overall building structure of the asteroid has been completed, and the remaining material storage areas and weapon defense facilities have not been established. Zero replied.

A glint flashed in Cheng Yuan's eyes: Notify me when you're done. By the way, where is the best place to build our first outer space ecosystem?

If you want to carry out an outer space development plan, then the ecosystem is an inevitable need, and where to build this ecosystem also needs to be considered.

According to the requirements, I suggest that you use the number CH-161125 for the first ecosphere construction. This asteroid is used as a test point. If it is successful and there is no negative reaction, we can consider implementing it on a large scale on Mars.

Zero said: But I suggest that you use asteroids as a test point is the most reasonable, perhaps many years ago, countless scientists have proposed Mars immigration plans, but I think if we succeed in transforming a suitable ecosystem on Mars, it is not a problem. Good thing.

Why? Cheng Yuan raised his brows, a little surprised.

In the old Chinese saying, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If the Martian ecosystem is opened up, as the administrator of Mars, will he still care about the attitude of the earth when he has the ability to be self-sufficient?

Cheng Yuan was stunned by the answer of zero. What he said was not only reasonable, but also a famous saying. Such a situation is not possible but inevitable!

When this happens, the upper echelons of Mars living want to be independent from Earth, while the upper echelons of Earth do not want to let the Mars aspect out of control.

Then the dispute comes out. !

Once there is a dispute, there is only one way to go, and that is war! (To be continued.) It's like a book, a home for book friends! Unique URL:
