Cheng Yuan was also reading the comments on the official website, and what surprised him the most was that he really didn't know that there were laws about space. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If it weren't for the netizens on the forum who said it, he wouldn't have thought about it at all.

While waiting for the diamonds to be returned, he also took the time to look up the laws on space on the Internet.

The information I got from the Internet was very one-sided, and Cheng Yuan was in a fog anyway, all in all, this law is more equivalent to some kind of coordination than a law.

For example, what space equipment you want to launch, it is mandatory for you to register with the UN Secretary-General, but Cheng Yuan doesn't know how many things have been launched into space, but he has not found the so-called UN Secretary-General, but he still needs to do what to do.

There is basically a blank slate, almost a dispensable regulation.

This is because there are clear provisions in the Space Law that it is strictly forbidden for any country or individual to deploy unconventional weapons in outer space, and the so-called unconventional weapons refer to nuclear weapons and weapons of destruction on a large scale.

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

The fact that the actions of the United States did not provoke any reaction shows 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 still thought that the space law was very strict, but it turned out to be an empty shell for a long time!

Not to mention anything else, the asteroid he is now focusing on mining alone has brought more than $35 billion in revenue!

And this value estimate is not made by himself, but 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 value of this asteroid will definitely be twice as high as the original, or even more.

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

"Zero, it looks like we're going to pick up the pace. Cheng Yuan closed the webpage and said to Zero: "The laws related to space will definitely be formed as quickly as possible, and we must try to bring the greatest benefits to ourselves before this." ”

Nowadays, 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 percent of the people.

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

In addition, for the time being, no one has really been able to obtain resources from valuable asteroids in space, so this is naturally a blank slate.

However, once space mining can really bring benefits, the relevant laws and regulations will definitely be improved and implemented as soon as possible.

It's inevitable.

The interests are moving, even for the country. Where is the need for war, if not for the sake of profit?

Therefore, if Cheng Yuan wants to be unaffected by this regulation, he must speed up his pace as much as possible before the gap in this area is filled.

As for mavericks, this idea is very tempting, but Cheng Yuan is a little hesitant, after all, eating alone alone will attract jealousy, and if you have a maverick again, isn't it completely difficult to get along with yourself.

But let him bow down and give up his own interests, this is also impossible, just when Cheng Yuan frowned and pondered, Zero suddenly said: "Sir, you don't have to worry, according to the current situation, we are the only ones who can collect space resources!"

"We can get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and even if there are legal restrictions, it is impossible to force you to give the benefits, which will seriously interfere with business regulations, and according to my speculation, the most likely possibility is to increase the tax cost of business operations. ”

"If that's the case, we can start a self-sufficiency process and make all the collected resources available for our own use, or process them into finished products and sell them. ”

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

"Let's speed up the development, after all, even if it is not for this regulation, we have to think about the future. Cheng Yuan finally decided.

"Yes, sir, I'll take forty percent of the company's funds for space development. "Zero Round.

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

Because Cheng Yuan's current development is already half self-sufficient, 80% of the materials for the small transport ships he now builds are self-supplied raw materials and produced by himself.

If he wants to be completely self-sufficient, Cheng Yuan said that it is very difficult, and it is impossible on the earth, because once he gets out of this environment, he can know what kind of treatment he will be subjected to.

So Cheng Yuan set his sights on space.

The resources in space are extremely abundant, there are a variety of metal minerals, some of which are available on the earth in the universe, and what is not available on the earth, and the same in the universe!

And there are countless water sources, each asteroid contains more or less frozen water sources from Dalian, which are all drinkable freshwater resources!

There are metal minerals, there is water, and when the time comes, Cheng Yuan only needs to supplement crops and other foods, and he can completely create a large ecosystem in space and achieve complete self-sufficiency!

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

As for why he thinks so, it is because the earth's freshwater resources are becoming scarce step by step, maybe you may not feel much now, but with the passage of time, the shortage of water resources is inevitable.

Although you find it hard to imagine how it is possible to deplete 71 percent of the material covering the earth's surface, but if you think about it, 96 percent of the 71 percent of the earth's water is saltwater, do you think it is too much?

Not much at all!

Nowadays, 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 the little freshwater we have is also being depleted!

And the data shows that water scarcity is not a casual problem, but a problem that all countries around the world need to face.

Today, 1.2 billion people do not have access to water, and 1.6 billion more live in difficult conditions.

When water is scarce, you may struggle to even buy a bottle of water on the side of the road!

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

Some people think that this is simply unfounded, and there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls, what are we worried about?

But the problem is that Cheng Yuan is standing at this height, maybe even if there is a global shortage of water resources in the future, he may be able to drink enough water by virtue of his identity.

But is this really good? Although Cheng Yuan is not the kind of person who is overflowing with compassion, it is impossible to watch a war break out without a shortage of water.

Even if it may take a long time, it will not be an obstacle for Cheng Yuan to sell space water resources.

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

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

There are conditions and markets, why doesn't Cheng Yuan sell them?

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 a life of water shortage, when the water in their area suddenly stopped for a day or two, how huge is the impact?

When you are thirsty, you find that there is no water in the kettle, which makes your mouth 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 to drink, you had to go out to eat food, and you had to go to the bathhouse to even take a bath!

What does such a life look like?

You don't have to go through it to repetition to imagine it.

"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 the water, there will be no obstacles to selling water.

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 transit station to be completed. ”

"About a week, sir. The overall structure of the asteroid has been completed, and the remaining parts of the material storage area, as well as weapons defense facilities, have not been established. Zero replied.

Cheng Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Finish informing me, by the way, where is it appropriate for our first outer space ecosystem to be established?"

If you want to carry out the outer space development plan, then the ecosystem is an unavoidable need, and where to build this ecosystem is also a key consideration.

"According to the requirements, I recommend that you use the asteroid number CH-161125 as a test site for the initial biosphere construction, and if it is successful, and there are no negative reactions, we can consider a large-scale implementation on Mars. ”

"But I would suggest that you use asteroids as a test site for the most reasonable, maybe many scientists have proposed Mars colonization plans many years ago, but I think it would not be a good thing if we succeed in creating a suitable ecosystem on Mars," Zero said. ”

"Why?" Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"In the ancient Chinese saying, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if the Martian ecosystem is opened up, then as the manager of Mars, with the ability to be self-sufficient, will he still care about the attitude of the earth?"

Zero's answer made Cheng Yuan stunned, what he said was not only reasonable, but a wise saying, such a situation is not possible but inevitable!

Once this happens, the upper echelons of the Martian side want to stand on their own feet from the Earth, while the upper echelons of the Earth side do not want the Martian side to get out of control.

Then the dispute arises. ！

Once a dispute arises, there is only one way to go, and that is war! )
