Chapter 236: Two Years Later
Kung Fu in the blink of an eye.
Two years have passed.
It's May 2025.
Although for most people, two years is not a very long time, and it is over without paying attention, and there are not many big things, and even life is just beginning.
But for Levi, for Blue Mercury as a whole.
The dramatic changes that have taken place in these two years are probably greater than those of the last two decades.
The global economy is booming, with the overall economic growth rate approaching 10%, and Xia Guo has exceeded 15% for two consecutive years...... The outbreak of countless new outlets has brought countless opportunities.
Even local wars and conflicts have decreased a lot...... Everyone is busy making money.
Of course, the one who gained the most from this is Levi, who invisibly dominates all this.
After a large amount of money and manpower were smashed.
There are several large-scale projects that have been largely successfully completed or have made significant progress.
First of all, the "Space Orbit Plan" under the "Space City" plan, which was completed in April last month, a length of 30 kilometers, a height of nearly 10 kilometers, can accelerate the terminal speed of the space shuttle to an electromagnetic acceleration orbit of 1.2 kilometers / s, and successfully launched a "scimitar-shaped" space shuttle into space on April 28, sending a batch of five-ton materials to the space city that is still under construction.
In the future, based on the "scimitar-shaped" space shuttle that launches 100 sorties per day, the Dark Space Company will be able to send more than 500 tons of supplies into space every day.
The efficiency of the construction of space cities will be greatly improved.
And the future can be even faster.
Secondly, in outer space, "Vegetable Factory" and "Power Generation Factory", which belong to a subset of the "Space City" plan, have all completed the main construction work, and even under the busyness of scientific and technological workers, "Vegetable Factory" and the first batch of fruits and vegetables have been successfully planted, which is enough to meet the food needs of thousands of people.
"Power Generation Factory" has also achieved full power generation, nearly 500,000 kilowatts of power generation, which is not only completely sufficient, but even a little excessive.
The basic completion of these two sub-projects also marks that the "Space City" project can enter the second phase -
That is, the construction of the main ecosystem of the space city and the construction of the space factory...... Once the planning and design are complete, you can start to proceed.
When the ecosystem is completed and the space factory can produce a large number of industrial products...... the "Space City" plan, you can enter the third stage, and you can start to migrate to outer space cities.
Until then.
Levi will end his life on the ground and can stay in space for a long time, which means that he has truly entered a vast and free space, and will no longer be subject to many restrictions and threats.
It is equivalent to the dragon returning to the sea and the eagle soaring high in the sky, and everything in the future will be based on his own ideas, and he doesn't have to look at the face of any force anymore.
And that day won't be too far away!
Because the transport ship "Intrepid Bank" has mined tens of millions of tons of various mineral resources in Yuexing in the past two years, which can be described as a mountain, which can basically meet the needs of the second phase of the construction of "Space City", and the helium-3 element has been hoarded to more than 3,000 tons.
At that time, nuclear fusion reactor technology will be used to produce F-class nuclear-powered interstellar warships in large space docks...... The power in Levi's hands will gradually begin to build up again.
However, some people may wonder why Levi has such a soft spot for the "Space City" project, why not directly build a colony base on the moon and Mars, as long as you find abundant water resources, you will soon be able to have alien colony cities, and the efficiency can be much improved.
That being said, there is some truth to it.
But if you calculate it carefully, you will find that it is more convenient, more efficient and less expensive to build a "space city".
One, most of the materials needed for "Space City" still come from Blue Mercury, which has a complete industrial system, if you go to the moon star to build a city, the transportation boat that transports materials is 600,000 kilometers back and forth, and the journey has increased more than ten times, if you go to Mars and transport materials, it may take several months on the road.
Second, after the construction of "Space City" is completed, it can leave the gravitational orbit of Blue Mercury, go to the orbit of other planets, and mine the resources of other planets, which is very mobile and flexible, and once the resources on the colonized planet are exhausted, such as insufficient water resources, the colonial city will immediately fall into trouble, but because it cannot be moved or moved, it will eventually become a heavy burden.
The so-called "colonial moon star" and "immigrant Mars" are just a false proposition, and do not have the feasibility of large-scale immigration, so instead of pinning hopes on the "moon star" and "Mars", it is better to increase the environmental protection of blue mercury...... This is the lowest-cost option.
Of course, "Space City", which has a complete ecosystem system and internal resources that can be recycled, is also a very good choice.
That's why from the very beginning, Levi made the "Space City" plan, instead of running to those barren planets to build a colony base.
……
Looking back on the course of the past two years.
Rivi can be said to have spent time in a variety of work arrangements.
Even in that gorgeous, magnificent, safe, well-equipped fortress-style villa, Rivi who moved into it, did not calm down and enjoy it, and worked an average of more than eight hours a day.
Moreover, after the formation of the "First Land Corps", it has initially possessed combat effectiveness and deterrence, and there are not many times when the night is afraid to be presumptuous, and during the past two years, Levi has still suffered as many as four attacks or assassinations.
Two of them were detected in advance, and the attackers were caught in the net.
Another explosion resulted in two deaths and three injuries to bodyguards.
There was also a poisoning incident, and the poisonous drink was almost served to Levi's table.
Although the Livi faction retaliated after the incident, killing at least a thousand of the masterminds behind the scenes, a certain mysterious club in the Star Country, hundreds of high-ranking members in it, all of them were beaten into a sieve by the armored people...... Finally suppressed a part of the restless voice.
The later operations against Levi were significantly less.
Nevertheless.
Levi's life is still walking on thin ice, cautious, and living in seclusion, and most of the inspection tasks are still handed over to stand-ins to complete.
Lin Guoming, who served as the commander of the "First Land Corps" in the past two years, because of his outstanding work and diligence, at least completely wiped out more than 20 violent terrorist gangs active on the land of Heizhou, and the crackdown was ruthless and accurate...... Therefore, Levi had already turned him right.
Of course, there are many stories of ordinary people, so I won't list them in detail.
In short, for Levi, he felt that the most difficult two years had been successfully passed.
The next time is when the curtain really opens.
