"We are moving towards a great era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Just as Christopher Columbus turned the eyes of Europe to the Americas, so our fleet has taken the eyes of the world tens of millions of kilometers away. ”

"As our engine advances, I believe this number will grow exponentially, if not exponentially, over the next century!"

"Mars is now just a barren desert of radiation, sandstorms, and all sorts of deadly dangers, but I don't think it's going to be worse than the moon other than the distance itself. ”

"There is an abundance of iron ore there, and every grain of sand smells of rust. The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter will become our future mine for all metals such as titanium, rare earths, and helium-3 energy. ”

"Our fleet is growing, and our colonists will go there in droves to transform it into the largest industrial area in the solar system for human civilization. We will use it as a springboard to fly beyond the borders of the solar system and redraw the frontiers of our civilization. ”

"Transwarp Trade welcomes any global business involved in the development of Mars. ”

"It is expected that by the middle of this year, we will determine the shipping route between Earth and Mars. At the latest early next year, we will launch our first flight to Mars. ”

“……”

The venue was filled with passionate speeches.

Sitting in the presidential suite in the heart of the ocean, two men in suits sit by the window.

There was expensive red wine on the table, and behind her stood a well-dressed beautiful secretary. Judging from the suits, watches, and temperament between the eyebrows of the two men, they should be businessmen who came to the new country to inspect the investment environment.

From this angle of theirs, they can just overlook the entire venue.

"Charles, I heard you sold the diamond mines in South Africa?" the hook-nosed man sipped his wine.

"Yes," the Jewish-faced man nodded, and said very simply, "after the collapse of the Rothschild Bank, I bought back my company's claims at a low price, and now my decision is equal to our company's decision." ”

"No, no, no, I mean...... Why are you doing this?" asked the hook-nosed man curiously, "I remember that you were quite optimistic about the reserves of that diamond mine last year, why did you change your mind this year?"

"Didn't you notice?" the Jew lifted his chin and looked out the window at the venue, "I can sense from the ambitions of the Future People Group that there is no future for the traditional resource industry for at least the next century. If you look at the share price of Brazil's Vale, even Wall Street is reducing their holdings. ”

"So you're planning to move the industry from downstream to upstream?" said the hook-nosed man with a smile, "I remember you bragged to me last year that the factory might go bankrupt and go out of business, but the mine would always retain its value. ”

"You know," the Jew shrugged, "that was last year. ”

The same scene is repeated in different places.

Although the market has not reacted at this moment, the expectations for the prospect of the original mining industry have fallen to freezing point.

In the next few days and even months, the futures market on iron, aluminum ore and various types of steel prices have been diving, and the only ones that barely maintain the original price are titanium ingots and rare earths. These two things are widely used in spacecraft, and the demand is second only to the "large quantity" of steel.

In contrast to the sharp drop in raw material prices, the development of upstream industries has ushered in a good opportunity. Factories have sprung up on Anga Island, New Masar District, and the newly built Mindanao Industrial Park. With the advantage of proximity to space elevators, they can obtain cheap space minerals at lower shipping costs, and global capital is also keen to set up factories here to invest.

All the changes are happening imperceptibly.

And at this moment, Jiang Chen, who was standing in front of the venue and depicting the future of human civilization to the audience and even the whole world with his voice, did not think of going so far for the time being.

At this moment, he plays the same role as Columbus once did.

The New World is portrayed as a paradise of gold, where the fleet leading the Star Ring Trade digs the first coveted pot of gold, and the spark of civilization will naturally drift across the ocean, transforming a barren soil into a paradise that only exists in the imagination.

Amid a round of applause, the passionate speech came to an end.

Jiang Chen nodded to the applause in thanks, then handed the microphone to the host and turned to leave.

……

After the closing ceremony of the exhibition, it rained heavily.

Next to the parking lot, Aisha trotted to Jiang Chen's side and opened the umbrella for him very intimately.

Looking at her shoulders wet with raindrops, Jiang Chen immediately reached out and grabbed her arm and took her into his arms.

At this moment, there was a small exclamation from the side, and several reporters who had just left the scene immediately set up their cameras and clicked the shutter before the warp trade bodyguards drove them away.

"There are reporters watching. Startled by Jiang Chen's sudden movements, Aisha whispered.

"It's okay," Jiang Chen smiled, "There's nothing to hide in the first place." ”

Even if there is no reporter watching, his affairs are well known.

Although some men who can't eat grapes say that grapes are sour, and some feminists criticize him for being inappropriate and not respectful of women......

However, Jiang Chen didn't think so.

He never took advantage of his high position to force anyone to do something for him. He didn't hide his private life either, and did anything wrong under the glossy surface. For that reason alone, he thought he was simply too much more disciplined than his class.

As for what you and I want, if there are people who like to gossip, then let them say it's okay, and he doesn't care very much. He has no intention of presenting himself as a saint and then going to the general election.

Feeling the warmth from her strong chest, Aisha snuggled up to Jiang Chen's arms with a slightly red cheek, quietly enjoying this moment of satisfaction. It's just that her gaze drifted in the direction of the reporters, and she used the camera on the contact lens for ghost agents to take pictures of those nasty faces.

Although Jiang Chen didn't care much.

But she felt the need to do something to protect his reputation and silence some ill-intentioned people......

Sitting in the Rourka stretch car, with the start of the maglev engine, the scenery outside the window gradually descended.

Squeezing Aisha's little hand, Jiang Chen looked at the blue and beautiful building outside the window, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

At that moment, his watch vibrated slightly.

"Your phone. Aisha said softly.

"Hmm. ”

Gently squeezed Aisha's little hand, then let go.

Jiang Chen clicked on the holographic screen of his watch and swiped his fingers on it.

The phone was connected, Kerrwin's face appeared on the screen, and as soon as he saw Jiang Chen, he reported straight to the point,

"We found several stowaways. ”

"Stowaway?" Jiang Chen glanced at Kerrwin unexpectedly, smiled and said, "Do you still need to report to me for such a trivial matter?"

"Mainly...... There is something special about their identity and the location of the smuggling. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "What's so special?"

"They smuggled to Mars. ”
