Chapter 746: Martian Mining

A large amount of gold was found on Mars, and the happiest people were the English capital who believed in William and did not sell the gold futures in their hands.

And those ordinary people who have plans to buy gold.

The Mars live broadcast was not over yet, and before making this decision, William notified his subordinates that all the gold in them was sold.

As soon as the stock market opened, the stock prices of most gold-related listed companies began to fall.

If it weren't for the fact that I only saw the gold on Mars, but couldn't bring it back for the time being, the gold price of Blue Star probably wouldn't just fall slowly, but would have been cut in half.

It is foreseeable that even if William can't come back from an accident, the yearning for gold will definitely become the most desirable place for people in the future, just like several gold rushes of human beings.

Before the space technology of other countries matures, this gold rush will become a private feast for the Devon Hill family.

But how could William have an accident, a person like him who spares his life more than anyone else, as long as there is really danger, he will 100% open the portal and escape.

If he can't escape and fight, he doesn't have the consciousness to dedicate himself to the world.

In the face of immeasurable wealth, all major countries in the world will definitely regard landing on Mars as a key target for scientific and technological research in the future.

A glimpse into Martian spacecraft technology reached an all-time high at this moment.

As William said, there is more to Mars than just gold.

The metals that are more expensive than gold in the world, not to mention platinum, which is in high demand for civilian use, and at least a dozen other rare metals that act on industry and weapons, are much more expensive than gold.

William's own titanium on the Mark armor alone was much more expensive than gold, and was in demand on ships, planes, and underwater vehicles like a bottomless pit.

Not to mention that ten spaceships only have a capacity of 1,500 tons a year, even if 3,000 tons or 5,000 tons of titanium are transported back to Blue Star,

It is guaranteed that as soon as it is put into the market, the civil shipping companies all over the world will eat up the 5,000 tons of titanium.

If you let Sundays be processed into all kinds of titanium alloy products, and make 50 billion dollars a year, it is a casual thing.

So after William expressed his thoughts to the audience around the world through the live broadcast,

The Devon Hill family's Mars mining company, which he is talking about, has become a sweet bun in the eyes of people and investors all over the world.

Everyone understands that the three metals of gold, platinum, and titanium alone can definitely make the mining company that has not yet been established a valuation of 100 billion yuan.

By the time the first spaceship brings back 50 tons of gold, the valuation has skyrocketed to a trillion dollars, which is by no means a dream.

If only William had put the ship's technology into the new company now, or even just the exclusive right to use it.

There is no need to be verbose at all, and the outside world will push the valuation up several times, and the unit is trillions.

When William was still pretending to be digging for gold in the live broadcast, the words Mars, spaceship, gold, mining company, and Devon Hill family were mentioned by people on the ninth floor of the world for a while.

Just when the general public excitedly mentioned whether they would also have the opportunity to go to Mars to pan for gold in the future.

Many experts invited by TV stations have expressed their views one after another, and the meaning expressed is very simple.

Ordinary people who want to go to Mars to be gold diggers will probably have to be decades later, and they won't even have the opportunity to be workers.

A very real problem is that the use of labor is not only inefficient, but also faces the trouble of compensation and lawsuits caused by accidental casualties.

Once a worker dies, those whose interests have been damaged by the Blue Star Metal Group and related interest groups will definitely be slandered.

At that time, there is a possibility that the Mars project will be stopped.

Of course, the suspension is only temporary, and it is also just an entanglement of interests and a redistribution, but for William these are all troubles.

So the most suitable workers must be robots and intelligent mining equipment.

As soon as this idea came out, the stock prices and valuations of companies that study robotics and mining equipment in the world rose in response.

But the one who benefited the most was the island nation, William, who was digging the golden sands with a shovel, after reporting the news to him on Sunday.

frowned, thought for a moment, threw away the shovel in his hand, and said to the live ball with an unhappy face,

"God, now say that I'm the richest man in the world, it should be fine!"

This?

This is absolutely no problem, not to mention the spaceship and the Martian mining that has not yet been established, just relying on William's existing company shares and cash, he is already one of the richest people in the world.

If you add in the spaceship, probably the first hundred of the Forbus don't add up to his money.

Looking at the reporters in the London Space Center, with an expression on his face that was not nonsense, William said with a smile,

"The first time I saw so much gold, I forgot that even if I was asked to dig ten tons a day, I didn't stay in the laboratory, and I continued to make more money by tinkering with the robots that had been formed in my head."

"Hell yes".

Enterprises and researchers around the world engaged in the research of intelligent robots have all been cold for a while.

William, who was able to invent spaceships and push spaceship technology to practical use all at once, jumped into the robot industry.

There is no need to wait for the finished robot to be produced, and no one will believe that the robot designed by William will be inferior to the existing technology of Bluestar.

Sure enough, William then said with a smile, "Actually, I made up a robot that can run and jump by myself before."

I didn't take it out because I didn't want to make many low-level industrial workers lose their job opportunities because of the emergence of robots.

But if it's only used on Mars, it shouldn't be much of a problem."

How can it be okay, this is a big problem.

All the ordinary industrial workers who heard William say that he had actually researched robots a long time ago broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this topic.

I couldn't help but pray that William had better never put it into use.

More than ten or twenty years ago, when the industrial robotic arm appeared, a large number of people lost their jobs and had to squeeze into the service industry to find jobs.

Now, if there are robots that can completely replace human labor, it is conceivable that many people will be unemployed and have nothing to rely on before social welfare is improved again.

This kind of topic, which can affect millions or tens of millions of jobs, has quickly become the focus of attention of the whole society.

The robot industry, which was still popular before, immediately became garbage in the eyes of capital.

William may already have practical robots on his side, and a fool will invest his money in the robot industry, which is still in its infancy and can only stumble a few steps.

Facing an opponent like William, who is completely asymmetrical, and even makes people lose hope of winning the competition.

The island's media soon gave William the nickname 'Destroyer of Industry'.

Because the robot industry is a system industry, it also involves chips, artificial intelligence, batteries, bionic technology and other technologies.

If William relied on his technological advantages to fully enter these industries, the island country would probably fall directly into the ranks of third-rate countries.
