[Chapter 573: The Pattern of the Great Space Age]

……

This artificial celestial body dominates the network signal coverage of the virtual world of the European continent, the African continent and the Atlantic Ocean, and all the information generated in the virtual world in these three regions must be temporarily processed and fed back on the "Tianqing II", and the information in these regions should be connected to other regions such as the Americas, and the information in these regions should also be transferred and linked through the "Tianqing II", and the "Tianqing System" is responsible for the core of the virtual world of the Matrix Technology Headquarters.

The "Mars Express" has left Earth with astronauts, researchers, or outpost base armed defense tactical teams from China and the United States, officially starting the journey to Mars.

The Mars Express has disappeared from view, but it has caused a huge repercussion around the world.

Skeptics of whether Matrix Technology has achieved and achieved controllable nuclear fusion energy have chosen to remain silent at this moment, irradiated by hundreds of thousands of invisible high-energy beams of thousands of lasers, in addition to the nuclear fusion energy reactor that can generate almost endless energy, what kind of energy source can support such a high-energy output?

Europe was also silent, this scene was confirmed at the moment, a solemn look and a sense of powerlessness spontaneously appeared, the book was also silent, countless countries that did not want to fall in the great space age were silent, the "Mars Express" rode the dust, its unparalleled speed seemed to reflect the country's development in the great space age.

Perhaps it was because she missed the lessons of the Age of Discovery 500 years ago, which made her feel very much chagrined, and the painful lesson made her vow to regain everything she had lost in this day and age.

The magnificent space era has begun, and only two players can truly compete in that infinite universe.

The speed of the "Mars Express", the volume of the "Tiangong Orbital Starport", and the ambition represented by the "Noah Department" to conquer Mars, this series of shocks finally told the second echelon a cruel truth, and the opportunity to advance to the first echelon of space is slim.

If you want to become the third player to participate in this new competition in the era of great spaceflight, it is impossible to catch up with the two countries that have been at the forefront by relying on their own strength.

As of 2027, the economy with a global GDP exceeding the $10 trillion mark, there are only two superpowers, and both of them have exceeded the $30 trillion economic volume.

The combined volume of the world's two largest supereconomies exceeds the global GDP share by more than 50%, and the GDP of the third largest economy is only $7.4 trillion in 2027. If the second-tier countries complete the union in space exploration, if measured only by economic size, their 41% global GDP will indeed exceed that of China and the United States alone.

However, space exploration is not a certain aspect, but comprehensive national strength, economic volume is only one of the important indicators to measure, and to achieve the second echelon of the alliance, how difficult this step is, its internal complex interest entanglement and distribution can make this second echelon of space alliance difficult.

The first echelon of the competition has not yet been obvious before the victory, as long as the second echelon dares to emerge in a joint situation, it will inevitably usher in two iron fists of heavy bombardment, the second echelon of the union forces the first echelon to unite, the second echelon only a major economic advantage will be the first echelon more than 10%, the second echelon presents an all-round weakness.

The reason is simple, a powerful third-party space alliance is not in the interests of the United States, and it is not in the interests of the republic. A cookie can be divided into two pieces and cut it in one size to divide it more, while it is divided into three pieces, not to mention that it takes effort to cut it with one more knife.

In the inevitable case, Mars, two flags will be enough, and neither side will allow a third party to forcibly intervene.

There are no fools in this world, in this form, any second-echelon space power in Europe and Russia is very clear about this truth, and forcibly intervening to turn the chessboard game into a "three-country" confrontation will only end up dying miserably, and the last hope will be deprived.

Under the current pattern, there will never be a phenomenon of the "three countries" game in the space competition of the great space age, let alone the "Warring States" phenomenon in which the great powers of the Great Exploration Age have risen one after another and then declined one after another, and this era will only be a "chessboard game" to the end, and either there will be no losers, or there will be only one winner-take-all.

The two super players have never thought of pulling a third party together to deal with their competitors, and even if you defeat your competitors in this way, your allies will inevitably grow and grow, and in the end your allies will become new opponents.

In this case, either the result of the two is purely separated, and in the end all of them become the only winner, or the existing balance is maintained, and there are no losers.

The second echelon wants to join the ranks of its competition, every step is bound to be walking on thin ice, in the face of the tacit understanding of the two super players, they can only helplessly wait and see, can only be reduced to the audience.

One step behind, one step behind, missing the beginning of the great space age, the price is painful, and the protagonist is not something that can be if he wants to.

This is the new pattern of the great space era, the game of the space chessboard.

Three months later, Mars Express arrived in orbit around Mars as scheduled, and Martian adventurers ushered in the start of 2029 far from home, with Christmas and Chinese New Year celebrated on the spacecraft. The accident of the Americans caused the "Twin Plans" to be extended for half a year, and also forced the Chinese to delay the landing on Mars for half a year.

The Americans have made a historic achievement and the title of the first person on Mars, but they have also paid a heavy price, which CMSX also secretly feels lucky, otherwise the landing on Mars will not be able to save whether it will face the same fate as the Americans.

After tossing for more than half a year, he is finally about to land on Mars, and Ren Hong has completed the latest link with the "incarnation", and this time it is his 152nd connection.

Because today, a team of strikers is going to land on the Pezos heights to explore the battered outpost base, searching for the unknown fate of Skovo. Oldland, despite the slim hope of survival.

……

(ps: Say a more angry and helpless digression, the stone often watches the news through the Internet or something, today's headlines, UC news and the like, to be honest, it's basically exaggerated content, especially UC, Lao Mei was scared and silent a few times at every turn, this country was shocked a few times, that country was stupid a few times, Ah San was scared and cried a few times, and he couldn't complain.)

That's true, this is the Internet, the impetuous virtual world, today I saw the news of the Three Gorges Hub, read the comments, unbearable, and helpless, for example, there is a comment that after a few decades, please go to Dongting Lake to travel, see the Dongting Prairie, which means that the drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River This pot is the Three Gorges, the geographical estimation of the children's shoes has not been learned well, the water source of Dongting Lake basically comes from the tributaries in the region of the province, this pot is thrown to the Three Gorges, and it is also speechless.

What else is there to threaten that it would be catastrophic if the Three Gorges were attacked by the enemy in wartime, and so on, in short, the construction of this hub is wrong and should not be done. Let's just say that the so-called war is already a war, what else do we need to say? Including super metropolises and industrial clusters to go more strategic than the attack on the Three Gorges, not to mention these, even if the Three Gorges hub, the classic strike means is undoubtedly air raids, but the children's shoes with this idea have thought about where the geographical location of the Three Gorges is? How many anti-aircraft fire nets armed to the teeth do missiles or warplanes have to pass to reach the target strike zone? If there is really a situation where the target is to target the Three Gorges, the mainland and inland will be strategically threatened, and it will inevitably be the time of the white-hot situation of all-out war, and the devastating apocalypse moment of starting to plant mushroom clouds with each other, at this time, what is the point? No matter how bad the situation is, can it compare to dropping nuclear bombs on each other? Is it the end of the world? It really doesn't make much sense to be in such a situation.

Therefore, the stone thinks that it is useless to discuss this kind of meaninglessness, especially for the above example, if the children's shoes that make those ridiculous remarks are in the Pearl River Delta region, the Yangtze River Delta region or the coastal surrounding areas, you can make this kind of comment, the electricity consumed by the equipment may come from the Three Gorges hub of west-to-east power transmission, and the electricity of the Three Gorges is mainly supplied to these areas to meet the development of these regions, so wow, don't follow the clouds.

The Internet is a free platform, and everyone can speak freely, but Shi personally believes that he should be cautious and think twice when expressing his thoughts.

The era we live in, especially at the moment, artificial intelligence is developing at a high speed, in fact, the stone is more inclined to think that the so-called "trolls" are the rhythm of the robot, some people with ulterior motives provoked incidents, the eyes of the masses are bright, but across the screen, we can't see whether the person who makes some ridiculous remarks is a person, his own person or a robot, so at this time it is more necessary to be assertive, and cannot be led into the trap that some people with ulterior motives want.

The Internet is a big dye vat with uneven information, what kind of information is required, if you want to not be lost in such a virtual world, you need to think more, be more cautious, whether it is a big aspect or a small individual, it is necessary to think carefully, be cautious in words and deeds, you must know that the Internet is not an illegal place.

Stone believes that more children's shoes are relatively simple, easy to be easily rhythmized by some people are young groups of Internet age, and the vast majority of Internet users are young groups, and in this flat information age, a topic regardless of good or bad, the depth, breadth, and speed of the impact are concentrated in a "fast" word, and it is precisely because of this nature that many people do not understand the nature of information and are misunderstood, many children's shoes brought in by the so-called rhythm are more of this reason.

Stone firmly believes that there are few people who really spray for spraying, 5 million? 10 million? That's enough, right? But in front of the 145,000,000 base in Huaxia, it is nothing, and in fact, there can't be so many at all, and 1 million can survive to death.

Now that all countries are forming a "network army", I don't know if there is a real "Internet police" on the Internet, but Shi firmly believes that the Internet is absolutely an illegal place. As the people, we still have to do a good job of "three cautions" and do our best.

There are tens of thousands of people who watch the children's shoes of "Technology Giants", although more than 90% are watching piracy, but the stone still wants to use its insignificant, almost negligible influence to call on everyone to be able to do "three cautions" on the Internet, although "Technology Giant" is an exaggerated color density of the online text, but the stone believes that the children's shoes who like this book are real patriots, and our fans of "Technology Giants" will not be easily brought up by the rhythm of the Internet "old driver".

Stone knows that the best way to talk about such a topic is not to comment, so that it will not attract the firepower of "trolls", but, if you don't vomit or be unhappy, there should always be someone who says something, it doesn't matter if you will be sprayed or not, in the comment area of the first website of "Tech Giant", it's okay to delete a post and ban a speech.

In the end, Shi gave him a response to this comment, which was seen on Toutiao, and the comment was like this, that is: there is a kind of courage to dare to show the sword, and there is a kind of cowardice called Taoguang Yanghui.

If it weren't for the robot's recovery, here the stone would have responded to his sentence with historical facts: how could a country and a nation that could build the Great Wall of China carry the gene of aggression? How could a country and a nation through the ages that had the determination and ability to cross thousands of miles of desert and attack Dragon City directly into Dragon City be cowardly?
