2024 is destined to be a lively year, as the world emerges from the economic winter, the wave of planet development that has swept the world has finally ushered in the first wave of outbreak.

"As of June this year, the government has allocated a total of 1 trillion yuan to invest in the aerospace industry, accounting for 1% of the total GDP. This is a historic breakthrough. ”

"Undoubtedly, the sudden rise of the East Galaxy Company has given the people, the parliamentarians, great confidence that the era of planetary development has truly arrived."

In the news, the anchor of the TV station narrates one exciting thing after another, and if you listen patiently, you will find that almost half of the things are more or less related to the development of the planet.

"Has the wave of planetary exploration finally begun?" Cao Chuan looked at the report, he knew that the amount of money invested by the free lighthouse country is not large, not even 5% of the Apollo moon landing, there was a special background of the Cold War at that time, and the two sides fought hard, and naturally spared no effort for the cost of money.

Moreover, the news is only scratching the surface, and there are many more things that have yet to be announced happening on Earth.

For example, the government of the Freedom Beacon country has invested 1 trillion yuan in the aerospace industry, but in fact, most of it is concentrated in the private sector, and with active private capital, 5 trillion yuan of funds have flowed from other fields to the aerospace field in the past six months.

Some private companies, such as SpaceX, originally snatched more than 90% of the space tourism market share because of the strong appearance of the East Galaxy Company, but because they suddenly received more than 50 billion capital injections, they actually lived quite nourishingly and recruited people aggressively.

In fact, several well-known rocket manufacturing companies in Lighthouse China, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon have secretly executed a mysterious long-term order totaling more than 1 trillion yuan, targeting large spacecraft.

No one would believe that it would cost two spaceships to be such an astonishing cost, so according to professional estimates of the cost of large spaceships, the number of ships that the Free Lighthouse Nation really intends to build is more than double digits.

Time seems to go back to World War I and World War II 100 years ago, the unprecedentedly powerful free lighthouse country in the early stage did not occupy a weak position, in just a few decades to complete the mass production of a large number of warships, just during World War II to complete the construction of three classes of a total of 10 battleships, far ahead of Victoria, the Rising Sun and other naval powers.

Now, history repeats itself.

"This kind of productivity can easily crush our East Galaxy Company." Looking at the report, Cao Chuan thought with envy, looking forward to when his company would come to this point.

His thoughts were quickly interrupted.

"On May 25, 2024, the spacecraft of the Free Lighthouse Nation arrived at the meridian of Mars with 2,851 migrants and 6,400 tons of supplies, successfully completing the construction of the base and naming it Port Zero."

"On May 30, 2024, the spacecraft of the Night Rabbit Country, carrying 2,951 immigrants and 6,300 tons of supplies, arrived on the Lucas Plains of Mars, successfully completed the construction of the base, and named it Taoyuan Port."

"On June 19, 2024, the Polar Bear Nation's spacecraft carrying 3,530 immigrants and 9,200 tons of supplies arrived at Ceres in the asteroid belt, successfully completed the construction of the base, and announced the name of Port 024."

"On June 21, 2024, the spacecraft of the 13-nation alliance of Europa held its first test flight, which malfunctioned during the test flight, and the second test flight is expected in a month.

Another series of news bombardments, after a long preparatory work, several major countries have completed the construction of large spaceships, and cities have been established and territory has been divided.

Only the moon is still uninvasive, so that Cao Chuan wonders if there is any conspiracy, after all, he believes that helium 3 on the moon is still quite attractive, definitely more attractive than Mars and asteroids.

In any case, it seems that the world map has suddenly become larger, and from today onwards, their arena will no longer be limited to the Earth and the Moon, but will become the heart of the solar system.

The development speed of these ports should not be underestimated, with the support of strong productivity, the growth rate may not be as slow as theirs, maybe it can also reach 100,000 people in half a year, a proud achievement.

Moreover, the three major ports are still the beginning, not only the free lighthouse country, the night rabbit country, and the polar bear country, in fact, the bigger changes are happening on a global scale.

For example, the 13-nation alliance of Europa, which failed in its first test flight, had to find a way to win over the countries of the Rising Sun, the country of Bosa, the country of Canaan, and the Oceanic country due to the lack of confidence in its own technology after the re-evaluation, and find a way to form a temporary consortium for planetary development to share the risk.

The resulting various ruffles, technology licensing, division of labor, coordination of interests, etc., are enough to make officials break their legs.

There are also many powerful private companies that plan to participate in the development of the planet, putting aside some scam companies, and many of them are considering taking a large spaceship from other countries to build a city further away after arriving on the target planet.

For example, Prince Shahna of Persia, knocked on the door of the Night Rabbit Country with his rich family background, and at a price of 1 billion as a ticket, he will take the second batch of spaceships, with 100 subordinates and 1,000 tons of supplies, to the Asteroid Belt Marriage God Star.

However, even the state-led planetary development is in the first wave of the outbreak stage, more of which is led by national capital, and private capital is responsible for contributing human, financial and material resources, and most private investors cannot directly participate in it, so that the dream is ambitious, and people who expect to rule on a distant planet do not even have the opportunity to realize their dreams.

Unless they have the means to independently afford to build a large spaceship, it can easily cost tens of billions of dollars in R&D, manufacturing, and maintenance.

And the way to save the country is to join the construction of alien cities, and when the time comes, as the city radiates and expands in all directions, they have a lot of opportunities; One is to invest in related industries, wait patiently for a few more years, accumulate more wealth, and wait until the situation changes, maybe there will be an opportunity for the development of the national planet.

With the boom in planet development, the member states of the United Nations are also clamoring to propose a new interim treaty on planet development.

Just like the scene at the beginning of the development of Antarctica, countries put forward various demands, but unfortunately, in the face of national interests, no matter what the conditions are, whether it is fair or not, there will always be those who lose their interests and cannot reach an agreement.

Coupled with the existence of such an unknown as the East Galaxy Company, the white paper, which can be said to lead the tone of the planet's development, has been in danger of dying since its inception.
