Three days passed slowly, and the Apocalypse Space Group issued an announcement that the smelting plant of the Apocalypse Mars Base had started, and the first batch of pure steel had been shipped back to Earth.

This pure steel material from Mars is the best material for making highly sensitive sensors, with almost no interfering impurities detected, and more than ten times purer than currently known sensor materials on Earth.

In fact, it can't reach ten times, and now the propaganda is to blow, and after blowing high, it can be exchanged for a steady stream of orders.

At the end of the announcement, a table of test data was released, and insiders can understand at a glance that they are well aware of the value of this pure steel.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused an international shock, and the Apocalypse Group actually made steel on Mars, which marked that human beings could obtain supplies from other planets.

"Apocalypse Group Opens a New Era for Mankind" This kind of headline began to appear on the front pages of various countries.

Many people sighed that the Apocalypse Group is ahead of the curve, and the iron ore reserves on Mars are very rich, which the United States has confirmed in 08.

Just when people were lamenting, the international iron ore price plummeted, even if the Apocalypse Group did not ship much steel back from Mars, but it also hit the confidence of investors.

Investors know in their hearts that as countries increase the development of Mars bases, iron ore will become less and less valuable in the future.

It is wise to sell directly at the price now.

Just when the international iron ore price was hit hard, the official website of the Apocalypse Group announced that the first batch of pure steel shipped back from Mars had been bought by the Celestial Empire government, with a transaction value of 50 million euros.

At the same time, the Apocalypse Group signed a three-year cooperation agreement with the Celestial Empire government, and within three years, all the steel produced by the Apocalypse Group on Mars will be sold to the Celestial Empire.

As soon as this statement was announced, many countries immediately stopped doing it, and they sent notes to the Celestial Empire one after another, saying that your Great Celestial Empire cannot monopolize this pure steel.

You have a need, we have a need, and you have to give up a part.

Ordinary people don't feel it, but the bigwigs of various countries have begun to join forces, saying that they have to share a piece of the pie.

Such a high-purity steel, those big countries must be very much in need, and even a slight improvement in high-level sensors may determine the success or failure of a research achievement.

At present, only the Apocalypse Group can supply this material, and now it has been monopolized by the Celestial Empire for three years, how can this be, it must be fought for.

Streams of undercurrents began to move, and many countries issued requests for leaders to visit the Celestial Empire, with one purpose, that pure steel must be distributed in proportion.

Xu Ping'an doesn't care about this, James doesn't care either, someone asks James, James pushes it to Xu Ping'an, and after asking Xu Ping'an here, Xu Ping'an pushes it to the government.

You bigwigs negotiate, I only ship so much steel back to Earth every time, just collect money and distribute it.

One hundred and twenty tons are shipped back each time, and the delivery is carried out according to one hundred tons, and the remaining twenty tons are kept for their own use.

This kind of thing is not something that can be negotiated once or twice, and before you know it, more than two months have passed, and the Mars spacecraft has returned to Earth, and it has also delivered a hundred tons of pure steel to the Celestial Empire.

A hundred tons is really not much, how to distribute it is a big problem, to be honest, a hundred tons is not enough for the Celestial Empire itself.

But if it is not distributed to other countries, it will definitely start a global trade war, and at that time, it will be a drag on many projects in the Celestial Empire.

It can be said to be a dilemma.

Xu Ping'an is in a good mood, every time the starship comes back, it will bring a return of 50 million euros, which can be used to make up for the expenses, and the Apocalypse Space Group is really too expensive.

On this day, Mars took off loaded with food and materials for the expansion of the Martian base, and flew to Mars again.

Although there is no increase in the number of people on Mars now, food reserves are already underway, and four huge cold stores have been completed to store meat, vegetables, alcohol and condiments.

More than 10 days later, after more than three months of negotiations, the results were finally reached, with 30 percent of the Celestial Empire's cooperation and the remaining 70 percent being purchased by other countries.

Among them, the United States accounts for 20 percent, the European Union accounts for 20 percent, country E accounts for 10 percent, the United Kingdom accounts for 10 percent, and the remaining 10 percent is purchased by other small countries.

As a result, Japan bought nine percent in one go.

It made other countries very angry, and after more than a month of fighting each other, Japan spit out another three percent.

Xu Ping'an no matter how they distribute it, after the starship comes back, it will stop at Adrius Island, unload the pure steel, and all parties will pick up the goods by themselves.

Apocalypse Group continues its tradition of not being responsible for deliveries.

A week passed slowly, and the employees within the Tianqi Machinery Group began to mobilize, transferring almost 2,000 people from the Tianchao side, and 1,000 people scattered in other places.

All of them were dispatched to Cory Danver Island, and the island's starship factory and saucer-shaped aircraft factory were completed, and Lu Huairen's deputy, Feng Changyou, served as the general manager of Cory Danver Island.

Chen Qilin was dispatched to Red Airlines to Cory Denver Island as a security manager.

Qian Wenwen, Xu Ping'an's former secretary, was transferred to Corey Denver to serve as general manager, which can be regarded as another promotion.

At the beginning, Xu Ping'an had the idea of promoting Wei Xiaoxin, but he didn't expect Wei Xiaoxin to clearly state to Xu Ping'an that he still wanted to continue to work in Hangzhou, and his family had already settled in Hangzhou, and he didn't want to transfer back and forth.

Xu Ping'an agreed, and let Wei Xiaoxin continue to stay in Hangzhou.

The three people who were transferred this time have all been raised in all aspects of their treatment again, with higher benefits and more earnings.

This year passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and similarly, Xu Ping'an issued a notice early that this year would not be held after the New Year.

Continue with the established plan.

The rest of the divisions have holidays, and only the employees on Corey Denver Island go to work as usual, and the production cannot be stopped.

Although the ordinary employees on the island of Aidelius are on holiday, the technicians are not on vacation and seize the time to carry out transformation and upgrading.

According to the plan, the two places will be semi-automated, and thousands of robotic arms will be introduced to produce starships, shortening the construction time.

The starships produced in these two places are for the Apocalypse Group's own use, and they must hurry.

All countries have noticed this phenomenon, but there is nothing to say, because Xu Ping'an has already announced that the starships produced by these two factories are only for their own use and are not for sale.

Moreover, at present, the spaceships of various countries cannot reach the speed of the starships used by the Apocalypse Group for their own use, and it is obvious that the starships sold by the Apocalypse Group have technical reservations.

This is where countries are most dissatisfied.

If you are not satisfied, you can't help it, because this is already an international practice, and it is all done like this, and it is impossible to give you the best if you keep it first.

The best thing to do is to use it yourself, which is not negotiable.

This year's New Year, the three children did not come back, this year was uneventful, after the New Year, Xu Ping'an went to Miao Yiyi's house first, and then went to Song Xinyun's house according to his previous habits.

At the same time, I got together with Ma Bo and a few people, and it has been so many years since I graduated, and my brothers have also had families, although I have seen less, but this friendship has not dissipated much.

In Ma Bo's small villa, several people are sitting with open arms drinking tea and chatting, the wine has been drunk, and now the tea is to sober up.

No one else came, so Mabo stayed here for a few days alone, and it was used as a meeting place for the brothers.

"Ping'an, when will your Mars Hotel be built, I still plan to go to Mars to have fun then" Ma Bo asked the long-standing questions in his heart.

"It will take about three years, and when the time comes, I will leave a place for you on Mars" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Ma Bo looked at Xu Ping'an meaningfully and was silent.

Everyone else was dazed, not noticing the eyebrows of Xu Ping'an and Ma Bo.

"Leave me one too, it's best to leave one for me in the cemetery, I plan to bury myself on Mars when I'm old in the future, it's absolutely cool" Zhang Wenyuan suddenly burst out.

"How old are you, just think about dying," Lin Yide patted Zhang Wenyuan and said directly.

"We are not young, the children are almost 20 years old, and we are also in our forties, so we have to think about the future," Zhang Wenyuan said directly.

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, we are already four cents" Xu Mingyang sighed for a while.

"I've really been a wreck in my life, Simao, and now I'm the deputy director of our district, and it is estimated that I will be the director of the bureau when I die" Li Rulong also sighed.

"All of them are going to be on the side, and they are playing deep with me one by one"

"Is this a place for you guys to play deep?"

"I'll call a few beautiful women over tomorrow, let's have a good drink, and then go to KTV to yell twice, it's a good man again," Ma Bo said very unhappily.

"Boss, life is only called when you live with peace, brother, I can't accept it" Lin Yide said with a smile on the side, and everyone laughed.

Xu Ping'an shook his head with a wry smile, there was no way, what he did couldn't help but let others say.

Ma Bo met a little sister in Hong Kong, and gave birth to a son to Ma Bo, and secretly took the child to the J City Tianqi Comprehensive Research Institute for DNA certification.

The detection rate of the Apocalypse Research Institute is definitely much higher than that of the hospital.

After confirming that it was his own child, Ma Bo began to arrange the life of this little sister and the child.

After the wife of the family found out, she made a lot of trouble, and directly assigned a wind property to the child, and Ma Bo's wife was quiet.

No one else knew about this matter, but Lin Yide and the others knew it very clearly, so they took it out to ridicule Ma Bo if they had nothing to do, and also ridiculed Xu Ping'an by the way.

As far as the two of them play the most, don't tease who they tease.
