Chapter 58 Trade Conference
In August 2023, in the outer space of the moon, the Hengyue-class spacecraft carried representatives from the world's top 500 companies and overlooked the emerging city from a height of dozens of kilometers.
The inexhaustible energy makes the lights of the moon city never go out, the neon-colored strings on the buildings, the large sound and light screens playing advertisements on one side, looking down along the transparent dome, and even the street lamps on the underground streets.
As representatives of the world's top 500 companies, each of them can be said to be the elite of mankind, and after seeing this scene, they can't help but feel amazed and admired for such a city rising on the desolate moon.
The spacecraft soon docked at the airport, and the delegates were greeted by specially selected immigrants, and boarded off-road vehicles, one for four people, and walked down the street to see this unique city up close.
The representative of Tesla was full of pride, and when he saw the logo on the off-road vehicle, he felt wise about the company's decision to invest in the construction of an automobile factory four or five months ago, when Moon City was first established.
Now, not to mention the popularity of off-road vehicles with Tesla logos in Moon City, just now, the huge welcome team composed of more than 30 off-road vehicles has given them an advertisement that cannot be measured by money.
There are still a few days before the trade conference, and the first thing that the company arranges is a visit to introduce the delegates, so that the delegates can understand the greatness of the moon city.
Nana used her voice to provide friendly support for the visit: "Representatives from Fortune 500 companies, welcome to Moon City. ”
"Moon City was established in February 2023, and after more than half a year of development, the urban area exceeds 20 square kilometers, attracting more than 50,000 immigrants to settle down."
"Now you are passing through the underground street leading from the airport to the resettlement area, and in front of you is a residential area large enough to accommodate 50,000 immigrants. The residential area includes complete infrastructure such as constant temperature, purification, water supply, sewerage, communication, anti-theft, etc., adjacent to a small commercial area, as well as an education area, with a total of 20,000 housing units of various sizes. ”
The neighborhood looks deserted, not only because it's empty, but because most of the people are working.
However, the delegates were attracted by an off-road vehicle passing by, on which were ordinary immigrants, compared to them who visited the moon city in awe, the immigrants looked leisurely, some were listening to music, some were talking, and if you looked closely, the off-road vehicle was completely unmanned.
"So it's unmanned?" This made the delegates feel incredible, they lived a rather privileged life on earth, and even they did not enjoy such treatment, and they could not help but feel a sense of envy in their hearts.
Of course, they don't know that without a digital city and a personal assistance module, it will be difficult to achieve autonomous driving, because there is no single decision-maker to coordinate the movement of hundreds or thousands of vehicles, and it is impossible to obtain information about road conditions, let alone locate every vehicle. On the contrary, after solving the above problems, relying on the existing technology, it will become easy to maintain the distance between vehicles, turn, and stop.
Sandwiched between the immigration area and the education area is a small commercial area, at present, the daily necessities of the moon city are not rich enough, and the tertiary industry is not developed enough, you will find that even if it is such a small commercial area, there are no people coming on weekdays.
Several restaurants are not open until the evening.
The special service area is deeply hidden.
The large supermarket is actually an experience store, and most immigrants use it to learn about the quality of the goods and whether they are to their taste, and as for the actual purchase, they are more likely to be delivered directly to their homes through online shopping.
Luxury goods specialize in the sale of specialties from the earth, some common goods on the earth, the price of which is at least 10 times higher here, and the immigrants are basically not patronized on weekdays, and if you look closely, you will find that it is more frequented by wealthy employees of the East Galaxy Company.
"On the right-hand side is the education area of the lunar city, the ecological environment of the moon is completely different from that of the earth, and whoever is in the education area must undergo adaptation training before entering the workplace."
"Up to 5,000 immigrants will be trained at the same time through learning devices."
"In addition to the adaptive training base, there is a primary school for 1,000 students, a secondary school for 1,000 students to meet the needs of basic education, and a temple of Scientology to meet the spiritual needs of immigrants."
The representative of Intel explained to the people around him what a learning device was, and after learning that it was a device that accelerates the speed of human learning by more than 100% through virtual reality technology, the rest of the representatives could not hide the surprise on their faces.
"That's how it is used." As a delegate to a trade conference, it is common sense to carry samples with you to experience, and when you hear that the people around you are interested, the representative of Intel will not waste such a valuable sales opportunity and hurriedly take out the device.
"Is that how it works?"
"No... Wrong! "Sitting next to the representative of Intel are the representative of Wal-Mart, the representative of CVS, and the representative of NT&T, I have to say that each of the three companies has more than 100 billion strong assets and has the qualification to stir up the world, but the representatives they sent are inevitably slow to accept new things, and even make people feel backward in the times.
On the other off-road vehicles, the delegates were looking at the buildings marked "Scientology" on the electronic map not far away, thinking that they had heard of the Cross Religion, the Crescent Religion, and Buddhism, but they had never heard of Scientology.
In short, it is the main belief of the immigrants in the current lunar city, who believe that science and technology are the power to change their destiny, and that science and technology will lead mankind to complete the great cause of conquering the stars and seas.
After listening to the explanation, many delegates questioned it, some of them bowed their heads to show respect, and some even showed more curiosity and asked if there were any promotional materials to be understood.
