Chapter 446: Technological Innovation

Although the official establishment of the Interstellar Trade Alliance has long been no news at the upper echelons of all walks of life, it is great news for ordinary people in various countries, and its impact is even far greater than the war set off by the emerging five countries, the dissolution of the United Nations, and the establishment of the UED.

Because for ordinary people, especially those who are not in the war zone, war is too far away, although there are worries, condemnations, and all kinds of comments, but as long as it is not directly faced, it is basically to eat, drink, and it will not have much impact, and the dissolution of the United Nations and the establishment of the UED will have less impact on them, and that is something that politicians should consider.

But the formation of the Interstellar Trade Alliance is different, because at the press conference, Axela and Tony Stark announced plans for the future of this organization, indicating that for the generation of Earth, leaving Earth and going to space is no longer a dream...... Although the space technology of the past has been able to send people into space, it is only the astronauts of several major countries or the super-rich who have this opportunity.

The Interstellar Trade Alliance has made it clear that the super-large International Space Station "Alpha" will be completed within four years, that is, before the next industrial fair, and it is put into operation, and this space station is a completely open commercial space station for all countries on the earth, completely operated by the UED joint government organization, and any individual or organization on the earth can apply to live, travel and conduct commercial activities on the "Alpha".

Of course, for the vast majority of individuals, the cost of settling down and doing some business activities is still very high, but if it is just for tourism, it is not very difficult.

Because on the morning of the second day of the press conference, the official website of the "Alpha" space station officially began operation, and the basic cost of the space station was disclosed...... the "Alpha" space station itself does not charge any fees, the only important cost is the transportation cost to the space station, and the transportation operation of the space station for 20 years after the opening of the space station is contracted by the Osborne Group, and the Osborne Group has also released a preliminary price...... $10,000 each way.

Twenty thousand US dollars round trip still seems to be a relatively high number, but it is already a price that the middle class can basically accept, and even people who still can't afford this price will feel that this price is conscientious, you must know that some high-end flights on the earth are more than this price, and this is a spaceship ticket to space, although it is only economy class, so the Osborne Group easily brushed another wave of prestige on the earth.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can go to space immediately if you have money, but you also have to consider the reception capacity of a space station.

Although the "Alpha" space station is designed to be a small space city that can accommodate 500,000 people, most of the space is reserved for scientific research and commercial use by governments, so the number of places open to the private sector is certainly limited, but this restriction will gradually be lifted as more space stations are built.

And for the people, in addition to the excitement of being able to go to space, there is also surprise, it can be said that in recent years, the changes in all aspects of the earth can be said to be getting bigger and bigger, more and more people, suddenly have a feeling that they can't keep up with the times, although since the beginning of the sixty-year Soviet-American hegemony, there is about the advent of the interstellar era, but when this day suddenly comes, the vast majority of people are still relatively blind.

So all of a sudden, all the topics that were talked about on social networks around the world were related to this.

While the world continues to ferment because of the establishment of the Interstellar Trade Alliance, the industrial fair will not stop because of this.

In addition to the announcement of the establishment of the Interstellar Trade Alliance on the first day, the second day will be the stage for the member groups of the Interstellar Trade Alliance.

And the most striking of them are, undoubtedly, the six groups that initiated the Interstellar Trade Alliance...... That's right, it's six, not the first five, in addition to the New Russian Empire's General Administration for Resource Development, Israel's Amadane, the International Union Group of the Republic of Boer, the South American duo of Sipotin and the Osborne Group, the Stark Group also succeeded in becoming one of the initiators and occupying a seat on the joint board of directors under the "efforts" of the Osborne Group.

In this way, on the surface, two American super consortia have become members of the board of directors of Star Alliance, and their voice has greatly increased, which makes the American people feel very comforted, look, we are still the boss of the world.

Of course, this is only the initiator who has the right to speak internally, and in addition to these six, there are dozens of franchise members and observer members who come to participate, such as the familiar Hammer Industries, the Life Gene Company that has just been brought in from Chris and several other companies, as well as the British Crawford Group, and even Mars Industries, which has not been recognized by Chris, have been given a booth, and even the Penguin Group from the Eastern Powers and so on......

However, although the booths of these members are also very attractive, they cannot be compared with the six initiators.

In a way, these six companies have a lot of similarities...... All of them made their fortune on arms, so before the establishment of the trade alliance, there was actually a lot of overlap in the products of each company, Osborne and Stark are good to say, because they have clearly withdrawn from the arms industry, but the four companies of the emerging G5 are different, power armor, military robots, infantry mecha, individual aircraft, all kinds of missiles and firearms aircraft are sold.

However, overlapping is overlapping, and the competition is not fierce, because each buyer is different.

For example, those green countries around Israel will definitely not buy Israeli goods, the three companies of the New Russian Empire, South Africa, and South America are their targets, and the same is true of the national forces around the other three countries, and this has long been expected by Chris, and the four weapons and equipment are selling very well.

However, these four weapons sold well, and one company wanted to cry without tears, that is, Hammer Industries, which borrowed money to package and acquire various weapons technologies of the Osborne Group.

Because under Chris's deliberate intention, the weapons and equipment of the emerging five countries have their own characteristics, and all of them are a little better than the original Osborne Group sold to Hammer Industries, and the production cost and price are also lower than Hammer, so after the comparison, it is needless to say how the national forces that are ready to purchase weapons and equipment will choose.

I believe that after this industrial expo, except for the United States itself, it is estimated that no national power will buy the things produced by the Hammer family, and even the allies of the United States may not buy it, unless the Hammer industry has a breakthrough in technology. But what about Hanmer Industries' ability to innovate technology......

In addition to weapons and equipment, the four groups also came up with some other very attractive technologies at the expo.

Among them, the General Administration of Resource Development and Management of the New Russian Empire focuses on all kinds of new metal materials provided by Chris, these metal materials are made of the earth and several major planets in the solar system are more common metal alloys, not a high-end goods in the universe, but they are better than the existing materials on the earth I don't know how much, as long as these alloys are popular, then Chris doesn't have to do anything, and the earth's scientific and technological level can be raised a lot.

Israel's Amadhanai company's flagship product is a multi-functional high-tech medical warehouse, which is not very helpful for some genetic diseases such as cancer, but is used for various surgical operations, which is an artifact for the current medical industry on the earth, such as the level of damage like the future Strange car accident, which does not require any spell at all, this kind of medical warehouse can be saved, of course, for a long time, this medical warehouse will be very, very expensive, even the use fee, It's not something that ordinary people can use.

The main technology of the Boer Republic is also very extraordinary, and to some extent more important, that is, various agricultural and forestry technologies...... This is a principle that remains unchanged even in the interstellar world, including various crop improvements, freshwater purification, and desert management technologies...... There is no doubt that these technologies are even more important to countries than the first two.

The last Sipotin company is somewhat similar to the New Russian Empire, focusing on material technology, but not metal materials, but various non-metallic materials, especially various biological materials, who makes South America the most abundant biological resources on the earth in addition to the ocean.

It can be said that as soon as the products of the four groups were announced, the world that was already boiling was directly fried, because these technologies are related to all aspects of human life, and the popularization of these product technologies will completely change the way of life of human beings...... The wailing is naturally those of the old days who are involved in the technology industry.

In particular, those old countries are aware of the seriousness of the problem, and their international status, economy, science and technology, and other aspects have once again been hit hard.

But the United States is not included here.

Although these technologies that will change human society have also been greatly impacted by many industries in the United States, such as Justin Hammer's heart to jump off the building.

However, the mainstream voice in the United States has not been in decline, because the two groups in the United States, Osborne and Stark, have made a bigger splash at the industrial fair.

Needless to say, as soon as virtual reality, genetic medicine, and aerospace technology came out, the whole world lost its voice.

As for aerospace science and technology, because it has been announced that the Osborne Group has contracted the shipping business of the space station, basically all walks of life around the world have already speculated, after all, there is no aerospace technology and you can't do this job, right? But is your maximum speed of 1500KM/s a little too much? The fastest spacecraft of mankind has just broken through the third cosmic speed (≥11.2KM/s), which is 17KM/s of the Voyager. Or did you misquote the number by one more zero?

Obviously, the probability of Osborne Group writing an extra zero is basically zero, which means that all of this is true, and it also means that humanity is completely capable of real interstellar travel...... Although the voyage time will be scary, flying out of the solar system is no longer a problem.

And the announcement of genetic drugs has plunged the world into a frenzy...... It can treat all kinds of terminal diseases, improve human quality, and even prolong human life...... However, the price of 10 million US dollars is also a bit crazy.

In contrast, the announcement of virtual reality is not as exciting as the other two, mainly numb, not to mention that in the minds of the vast majority of people, no matter how advanced virtual reality technology is, it is more inclined to leisure and entertainment, far less important than the other two, and even less than the technologies promoted by the four major companies.

However, for Chris, the promotion of virtual reality technology is actually the most important thing, but it is not a bad thing to be overshadowed by the scenery of other technologies...... What is really important should be quietly entered into the village, and those who shoot should not be shot.

Compared to the technology released by Osborne Group, Stark Group is not so amazing in comparison, but it definitely attracts a lot of attention...... Because Tony Stark, who was stimulated, was also out of the way...... The Iron Suit is on sale with the Ark reactor.

However, this is not a new thing, because under the pressure of the national level, Stark has actually begun to sell the original version of the steel suit and the Ark reactor like the military, and now he just thinks that one sheep is a drive, and two sheep are also a drive, so he will simply let it go in an all-round way, anyway, at the current pace, if he doesn't sell it again, I'm afraid it won't be sold...... Because the steel suit technology is actually already available in the New Russian Empire, but the other party has not sold it, so instead of waiting for the other party to open this head, it is better for Stark to take this head himself...... Anyway, now Stark's own suit technology has been updated for I don't know how many generations, and no matter how much the old version of the steel suit is sold, there is not much threat to him, so the title of "Iron Man" will always be him.

With the comprehensive technological innovation triggered by the six major groups, enterprises large and small all over the world have also begun to go crazy, and the technology that can still sell some money has been taken out, and those who do not have technology can only be prepared to pay for technological upgrades, or wait for death, or sell assets.

As a result, the economic market has been in mourning in the short term.

But it is undeniable that the world has begun to change, the fourth technological innovation has officially arrived, the development of the earth is about to embark on the fast lane, and any individual, organization, and national force that cannot keep up with the changes of the times will be eliminated!
