Urban Inventor

Many people in the audience have done enough homework before coming, and they have figured out what needs to be paid attention to in space exploration. They have even planned everything based on their own capital and so on. Some people have even formed a team. Therefore, for the risks in space and the excellent expedition team emphasized by Zhang Wei, they said that they are ready. As for the need to be under the supervision of future technology companies, the mined resources must be sold to future technology companies first. They can also fully understand and accept it, as long as they can make a fortune!

It is worth mentioning that the country promulgated and implemented the policy of serving the space age in 2020. According to this policy, manpower, material resources, financial resources, and policies are all for the service of entering space. All domestic universities must establish aerospace majors, astronomy Departments and other majors related to space technology focus on cultivating relevant talents and reserve human resources for the development of space. After three years, some outstanding talents have come to the fore and are worthy of great use, and there will be no embarrassing situation of not being able to recruit people.

However, outstanding talents are a minority after all. In order to compete for these talents, domestic companies that are interested in entering space have all flocked to prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, University of Science and Technology of China, and Nanjing University. As long as you have the ability, you can make a decision on the spot. The annual salary basically starts at 2 million RMB, plus a commission for each income. As long as you are lucky, your annual income can reach several hundred million, or even several billion. Astrophysics students are the most popular among enterprises, because astrophysics is the physics of the universe. The content of learning includes the physical properties of stars (luminosity, density, temperature, chemical composition, etc.) and the relationship between stars and stars. This knowledge can help the expedition team formed by the enterprise to find the most valuable asteroid, and then use the most economical and safe method to transport the asteroid back to the moon.

In addition to these outstanding students who have become popular, some professors from various colleges and universities and staff from major observatories across the country have also chosen to enter the sea under the sugar-coated shells of enterprises. The graduates were also stimulated to pick up their textbooks and study hard!

This is the power of capital! After future technology companies and China announced the sale of spaceships, under the stimulation of huge wealth, social capital is frantically concentrating here, and they want to enter this space age! Driven by capital, the entire society is accelerating its transition to the space age!

In fact, this is also the goal of the country and future technology companies. The space is too big. It is impossible to quickly explore and develop only by relying on the power of the country and future technology companies. Rapid expansion, and only if everyone participates, can the entire country and nation move towards the vast universe!

On the stage, Zhang Wei continued, I have finished emphasizing the things that should be emphasized, and it seems that my speech should be over. However, here, I would like to ask everyone a question. You have now obtained tickets to enter space. For space You will also have your own ideas, so what does your dream look like?

The audience suddenly became lively.

The audience who were watching the live broadcast also discussed.

Of course it is to find an asteroid rich in mineral resources, come back and sell it for several trillion yuan, and become a trillionaire!

I want to go to the diamond planet and bring back all the diamonds on that planet! Then, I want to build a diamond palace with a diamond floor on the ground, a diamond gate for the door, a diamond bed for the bed, and even the toilet. If it's a diamond toilet.

If possible, I would like to lead a fleet to the deep space, conquer all the alien civilizations encountered along the way, and make the civilization of the earth immortal!

It's best to have a planet of your own, be a planet farmer, or be a planet governor, or even build an empire!

What age is it, and you still want to play the imperial system, is it really feasible?

Who knows, maybe in the interstellar era, the imperial system may be better than the democratic system. Don't imperial countries often appear in science fiction?

Democracy is the product of compromise brought about by the long-term struggle of the people in pursuit of a better life, but there is a premise that the productivity brought by each person is still an order of magnitude. However, in the future, intelligent robots must have been popularized Now, the productivity of ordinary people is insignificant to those in power. At this time, the greatest significance of the existence of ordinary people is to cultivate elites such as scientists and artists with high IQs for those in power. To make a vivid analogy, the existence of ordinary people The greatest significance is the reproductive machine. Do you think that democracy is still needed for those in power and the elite at this time? As for the struggle, well, how can ordinary people at the bottom of society compete with an army of intelligent robots and easily destroy a So, in the interstellar era, perhaps an imperial system or a dictatorial system will really be born, and once a country chooses an imperial system or a dictatorial system, without the intervention of external forces, the ordinary people at the bottom will have no power at all. Restoring 'democracy for all'.

The future described upstairs... seems a bit scary. It seems that no matter what era it is, the people at the bottom are not easy to get along with.

Zhang Wei looked at the people who were discussing, smiled, and continued, Everyone, the universe is huge, unbelievably big, beyond our current understanding. The earth we live on now is only one of the eight planets in the solar system; Compared with the Milky Way, the solar system is insignificant. The Milky Way includes 150 to 400 billion stars and a large number of star clusters and nebulae. The total mass is 210 billion times that of the sun. As for the Milky Way, it is only one of many galaxies. There are as many as 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

So, in the space age, everything is possible, if you just want to mine in the solar system, then this dream is too small.

I think everyone must have seen a lot of science fiction films or science fiction novels, there are always aliens to conquer the earth, however, we now have the hope to conquer other planets! The power system of the current spacecraft is a nuclear fusion engine, which can reach 10% of the speed of light at the fastest. This speed is a bit slow and not enough to explore a wider space. However, when we have an antimatter engine, the speed of the spacecraft can reach about 80% of the speed of light. At this time, we can explore the Milky Way. If we have a warp drive, we can explore the entire universe even more. In this process, we can definitely discover many planets suitable for human habitation, and even discover many alien civilizations. These places are the objects we conquer! Perhaps, many of us can have our own planet in the future, and even if we can't do it, our children and grandchildren will definitely be able to do it!

Zhang Wei paused, pointed to the sky, and said, Everyone, please look up at this sky. This is a vast unclaimed land. A certain star here may be our territory!

In fact, Zhang Wei didn't intend to say this at the press conference, because it would expose his ambitions with the future technology company and have some subtle effects on the relationship between the future technology company and the country. However, when discussing matters related to the press conference with him, the chief took the initiative to mention this topic, and then asked Zhang Wei for his opinion.

Zhang Wei also realized that the chief may have seen through that he, Liu Hai and the others would take this step one day when he insisted on getting a piece of land on Mars. When the chief heard that Zhang Wei only wanted to find a planet outside the solar system, he expressed that the country was willing to support it vigorously, and vaguely stated two reasons why the country was willing to support it. On the one hand, it is because future technology companies will inevitably conflict with the interests of the country as they become larger and larger. This is determined by the expansion of capital and cannot be avoided. Once such a thing happens , It is a great loss to the country, to the future technology company, and to the entire nation. Therefore, it is a great thing that the future technology company has such an idea, and the country is willing to strongly support it.

At this time, the country only planned to deal with special matters of the future technology company. However, when the news gradually spread in the small circles of the country's political and military circles, it caused a chain reaction. In the domestic political and military circles, almost 80 The power of % united, saying that if other Chinese citizens find a planet suitable for human habitation outside the solar system, they should also support this Chinese citizen to become the lord of this planet, just like treating future technology companies.

This is mainly out of interests, because everyone has an ambition, but this ambition has been obliterated by reality, and now, this ambition is burning again, if such a planet can really be discovered in the future and become The lord of the planet has laid the foundation for generations to come. This is an irresistible temptation! In fact, even the chief's own family members believe that Chinese citizens should be supported to become planetary lords outside the solar system, and even establish an interstellar country! The national think tank also believes that the universe is too vast, and the distance between the two planets controlled by the country may be tens of light years, or even thousands of light years. It is almost impossible to maintain the current ruling mode. However, colonial rebellions will happen from time to time, and the central government will be exhausted. A model that is more suitable for the space age should be adopted.

After intense discussions, the domestic political and military circles finally reached a unified opinion that the solar system is under the control of the state and is the root of the Chinese nation, while the places outside the solar system are left to the descendants of the Chinese nation to explore and explore, as long as they have the ability, You can own one or even countless planets, and you can also establish an interstellar country. In the future, China is equivalent to the central government, and these interstellar countries are equivalent to dependent countries, which need to pay certain taxes to the central government, and the central government can provide military, technological and other support to these dependent countries. To some extent, China is like Britain in the Age of Discovery, and those Chinese citizens who went out to explore are equivalent to the East India Company. China's future positioning is the cosmic version of the Empire on which the sun never sets. (To be continued.)
