Chapter 843
The Ereda Twins are now done with their introduction, and now it's Elizabeth's turn to make a statement.
However, after the group of chaebol representatives got together and discussed for a while, the result was that "regarding the investment in the company, we have decided to officially invest in the research and development of new drugs and gene editing projects, but we still need to go back and consider the big plan of interstellar colonization." β
Elizabeth was still afraid that the Ereda Twins would do it, so she added a sentence: "You must understand that the funds required for this project are very large, and this is not up to our authority, we must go back and discuss with the family before we can give a formal answer." β
"Then I look forward to your reply, and I would like to convey our thanks to all the heads of the family. Salorath smiled politely, this is expected, these people who came today are all minor figures in those chaebol families, even if they want to agree to such a big project, they will have to go back and report it to the head of the family before they can decide.
"Andβ" At this time, Orethes also stood up, "Interstellar colonization is a huge plan, and with the supporting measures, we know that the funds required are a heavy burden even for your family, and may even be unaffordable. β
"So I beg you, when you go back, you can explain that our plan is also carried out in stages. β
"Phased... Please elaborate, we can also understand the reply. Elizabeth asked.
"In order to achieve the ultimate goal of interstellar colonization, as well as the laying of service facilities for the five major powers in advance, we must ensure that there is sufficient liquidity. "In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of a lack of capital, we have developed a phase plan of R&D while making a profit. β
"In the first stage, our company will independently launch a satellite to prove the scientific and technological strength of our company. β
Although the state has restrictions on launching satellites, and no one can shoot them if they want to, but this will definitely be approved for these chaebols here. What do you say? The government doesn't approve it? It doesn't matter, we just need to change the president who is willing to approve it.
"After years of research by our company, the cost of satellite launch has been suppressed to about 30% of the existing technology, and the function of the satellite has reached the level of the US military satellite, and even better, after the satellite is successfully launched, we will lease it to the US government in a shared way. β
"But the rent paid by the United States is not the point, the point is that our company can launch satellites independently, and the news that the U.S. government has paid to rent is printed on the front lines of newspapers, so please imagine how much our company's stock can rise?"
"The money we spend on building satellites and laying launch sites can not only pay back at once, but also ensure the next stage of research and development funds, and we can also make a small profit. β
Elizabeth and the others did a little calculation, and if the cost of launching a satellite was reduced to the lowest cost, it would probably cost about 40 million dollars. If it's a military satellite, I'll multiply it a hundredfold, and that's only four billion dollars.
And the people of this company said that they have lowered the cost of launching satellites to 30% of the current level, which is just $1.6 billion, which is not a lot of money, and the average amount of money on the heads of a few companies is more than 500 million dollars, which can be decided by themselves.
And now aviation technology stocks have always been hot, so once the news of the launch of a military satellite leased by the U.S. government is released, shareholders will definitely follow suit, which is a good deal.
"And in the second phase, we will land on the moon, and this is not just a matter of sending one or two people up there, but a mineral spacecraft that can carry out mining operations, and we expect that the first landing on the moon can bring back 30 tons of helium-3 for us. How far will our stock go up then?"
At that time, you just poured all those helium-3s into the sea, and you could not lose money by relying on stocks alone!
"And at that stage, the stock gains were already secondary, and the focus was on the cargo we brought back from the moon, and first of all, in order to appease the U.S. government, we could donate a ton for free for them to do their scientific work. β
"As for the rest, we intend to use it to complete the restructuring of the nationwide energy system. Obsolete thermal power plants, wind and hydroelectric power plants, and even what is now called the most advanced fission nuclear power plant, can be sidelined and replaced by our helium-3 nuclear power plant. β
Helium-3 is a good thing, it is said that 100 tons of helium-3 can produce electricity, which can be used by the world for a year, and this is still a clean and safe energy source without radiation danger, and the existing power generation technology is not competitive in front of it at all. However, I am afraid that there will be resistance to you to implement this technology, and there should be people here who disagree.
Sure enough, just as Elizabeth thought, at this time, Zoral Rockefeller said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "You guys do this... Is it really good?"
There is no way, the Rockefeller family made their fortune on oil, and the famous Mobil Trust was made by others. Therefore, once this helium-3 new energy is made, the impact on their family can be imagined.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, you are going to blow up other people's ancestral graves, if they don't have an opinion, then there will be ghosts!
"What's wrong?" Oresses looked at Rockefeller strangely, "Do you think there's anything wrong with us entrusting this business to the Rockefeller family?"
"Hmm... I think it's appropriate. Zoral smiled and sat back.
What the Rockefeller family is opposed to is not actually new energy, but to those new energy that is not in the hands of their family. Oil can be sold for money, but electricity can't be sold for money? As long as the money can fit into your pocket, it doesn't matter if you sell sandals.
Although it is said that this new energy plan depends on others, and the money made in the future will also be shared, but if this project is completely entrusted to his family, then with his family's connections and business experience in the world energy, the majority of the money will definitely be taken by his own family.
Besides, if you don't have yourself as a butcher, people will have to eat hairy meat? If you don't do such a potential project, some people want to do it, and when the time comes, your family will not only be alone, but will also go against the tide of civilization and reverse the tide of civilization, and you can't stop it if you want to.
So, to be swept into the garbage heap of history, and to pay a sum of money to buy a ticket and hit a civilized express train, is this still a choice?
"Next, we will announce our new power station construction technology to the world free of charge, and any country that wants to use our technology to build power stations for free can be regarded as a little contribution to the world's clean energy. β
Contribution? Elizabeth, they know very well, what you have announced is only technology, and people are rushing to build power stations, but where does helium 3 come from?
The content of this thing on the earth is so low that it is almost negligible, so if people want to use fuel for power generation, they have to rely on you to dig down from the moon?
And by the time you have completed these two steps, most of the world's energy supply will be in your hands, so it is no wonder that you are so sure that you can maneuver between the nations to seek all the benefits.
And according to the laws of history, any discovery of new technology will be applied to the military side first. For example, if you can build a helium-3 nuclear power plant, it means that you can build a helium-3 nuclear weapon, you can launch a satellite to the moon for mining, and it will not be difficult to build an intercontinental missile.
Helium-3 nuclear weapons, this thing is said to be more powerful than the Tsar Bomba. Thinking of this, Elizabeth shook her head with a slightly wry smile, now even a private company has to have a nuclear deterrent?
It's really a matter of listening to you... I have lived for more than ten years in vain.
"So as long as these two steps are one. Oresses concludes: "Both the funds and our prestige are well secured. The final step of the interstellar colonization project can be officially launched. β
Bang bang bang... Elizabeth, they all applauded, yes, of course you can start it, after you have done these two steps, you can almost take over the whole world and establish a human community, your company may be more effective than the government!
"We've written it down. After the applause, Elizabeth and the others all stood up and prepared to take their leave, "We will tell the truth when we go back, and ask the head of the family to consider it carefully." β
"Please pay tribute to all parents on our behalf. The Ereda twins also stood up to see them off.
After all the outsiders were gone, leaving only Gabriel and the three Esoteric Sect members, the Ereda Twins rubbed her brows and used the pet summoning technique, "Evenson, you can come here." β
But this spell didn't work for a long time, and they found out when they asked someone that the eight lambs were actually asleep on the monitoring table.
So the Ereda Twins decided to apply the forced pet summoning technique, and went up directly to Evenson's neck and dragged him down.
"The old lady has been working hard down there for a long time, and you actually sleep on it!" Evenson threw Evenson on top of the chair, and the Ereda twins pointed to their noses and cursed.
Evenson was also helpless, he was very tired to watch the monitoring, and the monitoring room was dark, and the small warm air with the air conditioner was blowing, he felt that the monitoring station was like a gravitational force, and he sucked him up.
"What... Don't I have faith in you two? Evenson rubbed his eyes and said with a strong desire to survive: "You two must be successful when you go out, so I can rest assured that I will let it go." β
"How's our approach?" Evenson staggered to his feet, looking at Gabriel and asking, "Isn't that more constructive than your plan to cleanse the world?"
"It's breathtaking. Gabriel shrugged his shoulders. I used to be so obsessed with the earth that I forgot to look up at the stars. It only focuses on protecting the earth from outsiders, but ignores that humans can go out.
Evenson nodded and asked, "So, can you give up your original plan now?"
"Hmphβ" Gabriel smiled, not giving a clear answer. Haven't you heard of what it means to grasp with both hands? I'm such a big person, of course, I have to choose them all!
So in my opinion, there are two ways for humanity to go in the future, either to play StarCraft or to play Resident Evil!
"You can rest assured now, it's too early, right?" At this time, Scott, who had a bloody tongue, suddenly looked at Evenson with sharp eyes, "You are in trouble!"
Evenson blinked in a daze, "Sir, save me, ahh
"I'm telling the truth. Scott shook his eyes and sat back, "I'm afraid there will be some small moves after these people who are attending the meeting today go back." β
"That's inevitable. The Ereda twins smiled and nodded.
"It's not normal if they're really indifferent. Gabriel agreed.
Evenson, please explain, can't you take care of me?
At this time, Elizabeth had said goodbye to the others and sat in the same car with her best friend Peibo, but she usually looked for Peibo, but now she frowned and didn't say a word all the way.
Peibo looked at Elizabeth and asked, "What's the matter, you're still thinking about the meeting?"
"This kind of meeting, I guess I won't meet a few times in my life, can you not think about it?" Elizabeth smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you care?"
Pei Bo also smiled, of course she was very concerned, after all, the projects proposed at that meeting were too amazing. However, in addition to her reservations about the gene editing project, she actually agrees with other projects such as interstellar colonization and helium-3 new energy.
However, she could see that these plans were for the benefit of humanity in a large way. In today's world, people are fighting and fighting for nothing more than living space and the resources they need.
Once the interstellar colonization plan is successful, not to mention that the entire vast universe is open to human beings, take Mars, a planet about the size of the Earth, for example, so a large uninhabited space is there, why don't you hurry up and fight for it on the earth?
Even if you can't look at each other and have a deep hatred and hatred, there are spaceships here, why do you want to fight for hegemony on the earth, you all pick a planet to live in, and then no one will see each other, can't you die of old age?
This is considered from the perspective of all mankind, and if you think from the perspective of the head of Stark Enterprises, she believes that Stark Enterprises can also obtain very huge profits if they participate.
Although the technology of helium-3 new energy will have a great impact on Stark's clean energy, Stark enterprises do not rely on this line of food to eat, and can make up for it in other aspects. For example, Tony can build remote-controlled steel armor, so it will certainly not be a problem to build a remote-controlled robot with a tight inside.
So in the process of interstellar colonization, when mining helium-3 or building other infrastructure such as biodomes, is it appropriate to send astronauts, or is it more convenient to use remote control robots?
It can be said that these planned infrastructure projects can be contracted by Stark Enterprises independently!
After calculating the profits, the arrival of the interstellar era, which can be described as a great change in human civilization for thousands of years, as an important participant in the creation of this era, it can definitely leave a name in history, far more than the great men of the past generations will always shine in the annals of history. Even when the superheroes who are now famous are forgotten and only regarded as fairy tales, we will not waste the river!
In short, mankind will usher in a new future, and civilization will also make brilliant progress. But... There are always some worries about Peibo, is humanity really ready for this...? And the company, they will bring a new century to mankind, and at the same time, they will also hold the future of humanity in their hands, so... Is it really good?
"Elizabeth..."Pei Bo thought for a long time and didn't come to a conclusion, so he called his best friend softly, "For this company... What do you think?"
"The ambitions are great, and the plans are very grand, butβ" Elizabeth was thinking about these things, but she was thinking differently than Pei Bo, she narrowed her eyes in the middle of her sentence, and said to her attendant sitting in the co-pilot, "You now send an anonymous report to S.H.I.E.L.D., saying that a member of the Bloody Tongue has contacted the gospel company." β
Pei Bo was slightly stunned, but instantly understood the intention of her best friend.
Ambitions are big, and so are plans, but now it's just ambitions and plans, all in words and in writing. However, plans can never change as fast as they are planned, and in the process of implementing these plans, they will inevitably encounter various obstacles and international attention.
Although they swear that they can grasp it well, it is one thing to say it, and whether they can do it is another.
Rather than waiting until something goes wrong when they get on their ship and can't get off, it's better to see their condition now and decide whether to get on the ship or not, the members of the Bloody Tongue have contacted them, this kind of thing is not big or small, and it is most appropriate to use it to test it.
If they can't even cope with this kind of thing, and they can't even pass the hurdle of S.H.I.E.L.D., what are they talking about going around the nations to ensure that nothing is lost? It is better to apply for a patent as soon as possible and make some money honestly.
