Chapter 55: Waiting
Alien 2 - Malcohen is whining on his ship, and he's spent a full 3 years on this goddamn planet. Really boring and monotonous days are going to torture him crazy! While the payout on the PC is rising, there's nowhere to spend it in this desolate area where there's nothing but a personal bar. Every time he recalls the crazy consumption rush when he woke up from the hibernation capsule and returned to Earth, he feels that this is a company deliberately trying to create their consumption pressure! But the thought of the ore he was mining was full of vertigo.
"Temonite" is a new polymer material mineral discovered by mankind, which has a strength and strength far beyond diamonds, making it a new important raw material in the space industry, and the value is comparable to that of perovskite in the age of the earth. Naturally, obtaining enough mineral resources on a desolate planet has become the minimum way for some private companies to make a fortune. Of course, the price is that there is not enough infrastructure construction, if it were not for the fact that in the current interstellar age, there are non-tired laborers such as cyborgs as basic coolies. Some people have already gone mad. But in any case, the basic maintenance and operation monitoring work still needs to be supervised and controlled by natural persons! Of course, some of the work pressures that come with it are indeed very troublesome to human society. If it weren't for the fear of the legendary AI rebellion and the nearby social employment problem, someone might have developed that kind of von Neumann-style automatic diffusion intelligent machine system earlier.
After seeing a certain logo, he unconsciously thought of Wieland-Yutani Company, this super group is the real interstellar giant he really dreams of joining! Not only is it a leading manufacturer of outer space exploration equipment, but it also has its own exclusive space development area. There is almost no need to worry about the government's inventory and the tax bureau's door-to-door visit. Just like if you play a category with history, only the legendary East India Company deeds can probably be compared~~ But this is by no means a reflection of its greatness! This super company is also a great pioneer in interstellar development. It is a pioneer in the extraterrestrial terraforming project, but the relevant patents related to the atmospheric modification project are enough to firmly establish its supremacy in the interstellar industrial trust. Not to mention the development of the large starship shipbuilding industry, which has attracted a steady stream of elites from all walks of life - doctors, scientists and soldiers - to form a fascinating interstellar independent trust empire. To be part of this kind of super group is undoubtedly the dream of any elite in the industry!
Of course, for Macon, this dream is still a little far away! He had an ex-girlfriend he knew who worked for Wieland-Yutani, even if for some reason he didn't renew his contract. But the company still provides financial support to many of the scientists on board, and provides all the convenience and financial support for any branch they need. The company's financial provision is very generous, and it often offers large financial rewards and sponsorships to find a special team that can help it complete its tasks. It's enough to imagine that this is enough to make anyone's heart flutter, but it's a pity that Ma Cohen is just an overly adventurous graduate of ordinary geology majoring in prospecting. Naturally, this kind of qualification can't enter the eyes of that kind of top group! So over the years, he has just found such a boring and boring position to make a living, and provide a position to give full play to his interests. It's like now you can only daydream and whine!
Suddenly, a regular interstellar network newsletter email piqued his interest, despite the existence of faster-than-light communication technology in the plane. However, the high operating costs and advanced hardware standards still make many interstellar explorers save on this aspect! In general, it does not have any rich functions other than the necessary short message communication function, so that some people jokingly call it the 'telegraph of the interstellar age'! However, Ma Cohen, who has been a little wealthy recently, finally ordered some newsletter services in order not to be too boring. Although there is not much information each time, it is also a rare entertainment in this kind of remote place!
This information made Ma Cohen's eyes shine, and recently a company known as the "Anaheim Group" is developing and building a space colony satellite city project - a gravity that is said to be similar to the earth, in which air with a pressure of about one atmosphere is implanted in the inner wall biosphere into mountains, lakes, animals and plants, and establish a complete ecosystem. It can allow extragalactic workers to experience the purest memories of the mother planet to a certain extent. This project can be promoted at the expense of the costly 'interstellar communication network advertising fee', which shows that it is still quite credible. After taking a look at the open area on the promotional materials, it is obviously closer to the star area, and there are also a large number of high-grade catering and tourism and leisure service industries, etc., maybe after the project is completed in a few months, you might as well try it there first. Seriously, due to the high prices and environmental damage on the earth, it is difficult to enjoy a lot of leisure and entertainment normally! When the time comes, you might as well take your co-workers to go to leisure together, anyway, the money will have to be spent sooner or later, and it is really important to relieve the withering of the soul before returning home.
In this way, a multi-plane group has invisibly launched a more effective technological radiation interaction between two different planes, and the butterfly effect is constantly spreading.
