Chapter 418: Moon Base

The news of the successful test flight of the "Enterprise" starship soon spread around the world.

For such news, some people dare not believe it. Even with rune technology, there are still people who are skeptical. Not to mention the starship spaceship in the sci-fi film.

However, they soon realized that they were wrong.

People were shocked when they saw a shuttle-shaped spaceship about a kilometer long levitating over the city of New York. The TV news, newspapers and magazines of the day were all about the "Enterprise Account". With the spread of this news, everyone also knows that the starship is a high-tech product jointly developed by CPT, SCC and Rune Technology.

The key words are "Carpenter" and "Alex"! People know who the real bosses of these companies are, and of course there is Mr. Hughes.

As a private enterprise, it has a "weapon" that is more powerful than the government! This has to make people ponder the implications, and there are also some parliamentarians who do not know the truth, who are clamoring for this dangerous thing to be nationalized. The de facto rulers, namely the Freemasons and the Illuminati, remained largely silent.

They knew what Alex was doing with the starship, and the emergence of the heavenly space had provided a fair starting point for everyone, so that the position of the United States would inevitably be challenged by other countries, especially China and India, two populous countries.

At this time, Starship appeared in the American enterprise, and immediately balanced this power gap.

As long as the Carpenter family is still an American citizen. Then their position can still be guaranteed. Organizations such as Freemasonry and Illuminati can still be the boss behind the scenes, laughing at the ups and downs.

But what about later?

If the Carpenter no longer maintains this semblance of balance, what should they do? Do you want to be slaughtered by others? If it was the Guardian's will, they really couldn't resist, but if it wasn't Alex's idea, but someone else took advantage of the situation to force them.

So what should they do? This kind of question has been haunting the minds of those "people who are superior", and everyone knows that the current situation is very critical, it is an era of change, and if you take the wrong step, it is very likely that you will never recover.

Before they could figure out what's at stake. SCC came out. To build a base on the moon. At the same time, we will invest in a new company through which we will operate and manage this area.

If it's just that news, it's not surprising. After all, the "Enterprise" has already made a successful test flight, and it itself is enough to support the construction of a lunar base. And more starships will be built every year to come. As you can imagine, the moon will soon become overcrowded.

The question is. The company turned out to seek funding. Whether it is a private person, a family, or even other governments, they can invest money. All are welcome!

"Is there such a good thing?"

Everyone was stunned by Alex's approach, and if it was someone else's, how could such a good project be casually handed over to everyone to share. Besides, SCC's Hughes Group, the Rockefeller Consortium, and the Carpenter family alone can afford to have enough money.

Is there some conspiracy in this? Everyone couldn't help but think like this, when the first person to eat crabs appeared, people immediately stopped hesitating and rushed up to compete for the company's shares.

This first person to eat crabs turned out to be a country! And it is also a country of red regimes, that is, the red continent under the leadership of Mao Sun, and they will invest the foreign exchange obtained from selling seeds and the seed energy earned in the game into this new company.

That's a lot of money! Now the universal seed energy in the heavenly space has become the common currency of the world, and it is even much stronger than the US dollar, because the appearance of rune seeds has caused the use of oil to decline year by year. Seed energy has a tendency to replace the dollar as the world's currency, after all, anyone can produce seed energy, and everyone needs to use seed energy.

The only problem is that the price of seed energy fluctuates too much, but under the control of rune technology, the price fluctuation of seed energy is relatively normal.

After Mao Yang activated the crowd tactics, a large area of the Second Continent was basically occupied by the Chinese. They can earn a lot of money, materials and skills in the game every day, but the mainland has unified management of these things, so it has not caused the impact of other countries for the time being.

Now, however, the situation seems to have changed, and Mao's decision has allowed the Chinese to hoard things out of the mainland, and the mainland government's investment once accounted for 20 percent of the total investment. This is already the second largest shareholder, the first largest shareholder is Rune Technology Corporation, which has a 30% stake in the company. The rest of the companies, such as CCP and SCC, also have 5% and 8% of the shares respectively in technology, manpower and capital.

The remaining shares are taken out and shared, and there is no restriction on capital investment, and whoever invests more after the most is the highest share in the total capital.

In view of Mao Sun's amazing move. The Soviet government also got involved, taking a 19% stake at once, almost overtaking China. Everyone else was pushed to the edge, and the U.S. government and the old families quickly reacted and fought for the company's shares.

In the end, the company, named "Shinra" technology, received a total of nearly a trillion dollars, with the mainland government holding 12% of the shares, the United States 11%, the Soviet Union 10%, and so on. The largest shareholder is still the Rune Technology Company, but the techniques they throw out are indeed worth the price.

The moon is extremely just a small test, Alex wants to get the "equatorial ring" that was proposed at the beginning.

Now with such a large amount of money, this plan can finally be implemented. At this time, people also saw that the reason why Alex did not restrict anyone from joining was so that HRE Technologies could become an institution similar to the United Nations.

And this HRE Tech's right to speak. It is arranged according to the size of each country's stake in it. Soon, one, two, three starships were built, and bases on the moon were being built bigger and bigger. One-third of the work on the "equatorial ring" has also been carried out, and in the face of such a powerful enterprise, any state power has to obey the arrangements and commands of this company.

The contradictions of many countries are gradually handled through this company, and even when the United Nations needs peacekeeping, once the starship of the HRE company flies to the peacekeeping area, it can immediately calm down the situation.

With the rapid growth of the HRE Corporation, there are fewer and fewer disputes on the earth, and there are almost none at the end. Because of all the contradictions. If HRE is not successful in mediation. That will be solved in the virtual game.

Moreover, the star fleet of the HRE Corporation is constantly mining from planets in outer space, and then transporting them back to the lunar base to process the finished products, and only after the last thing is transported back to Earth. So. The problem of the earth's resources is slowly being solved. The contradictions have also been weakened a lot.

With the suppression artifact of the moon base and the equatorial ring. Even countries with nuclear warheads do not dare to start disputes lightly. Because the HRE Corporation is not the kind of weak force group, whenever there is a conflict. He was always able to stand firmly on the side of the United Nations, and quickly sent a team of starships to control the situation.

Once, because of the problem in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union wanted to send troops to fight, but it was pressed back by the starship of the HRE Corporation, and when it wanted to use nuclear weapons, it was shocked to find that the other side was not afraid of nuclear weapons at all. Because each starship has a strong protective shield, even a nuclear attack can withstand it.

After Alex's various interventions, the war on Earth was basically completely eliminated around 75 years, and there was no battle of more than 1,000 people on either the African continent or the Asian continent.

Every time there is a movement on the ground, it will always be detected by the monitoring instruments of the equatorial ring for the first time, and then send a starship enough to suppress the whole field, if you are too busy, the laser cannon on the equatorial ring is not vegetarian, and the precise attack can eliminate the force that violates the United Nations resolution.

Since then, the earth has entered a period of peaceful and stable development. The population continues to soar, but because of the improvement of technology, there is no food crisis and living space crisis, but the quality of life has improved a lot. Even people who are not happy in the real world can find their place in the virtual world.

The number of people soon exceeded 6 billion, and there are signs of reaching 7 billion.

Such a change brings a lot of energy to Alex, and every time one more person implants a seed, he has one more source of energy.

When the time came to 77 years, the number of seed users on the entire earth had just exceeded 100 million! In Alex's eyes, there are dots of starlight on the surface of the entire earth, and each starlight represents a seed, and in densely populated cities, there are more such stars.

"I feel like a breakthrough is imminent!" Alex thought to himself that the time he had stayed in the prime was too long for other seed users, but it was quite short for Tesla and the others.

When he first became a tree protector, he was already at the peak of gold level 1, and he was almost able to break through to gold level 2. But just such a small gap made him wait for six or seven years.

In the past few years, there has been a large amount of energy injected every day, and according to the law of rune seeds, he can obtain 90% of the energy refined by others. Such a high proportion is not small. It was only until now, when 100 million people around the world have planted seeds, that he has truly reached the breaking point.

"Then let's start breaking through!" Alex's heart moved, and the seeds in his body immediately fluctuated, and the energy in his whole body began to boil, and even overflowed his body and continued to burn.

When all this reached its peak, all the energy of the "boom" shrank back and condensed into a golden rune seed. It was a little bigger and more condensed than the previous seed, and at the same time much stronger in various powers, Alex could even feel that he could hear and feel everyone's thoughts and emotions in an instant.

When this was all over, not only did Alex feel stronger, but even the other seed users noticed that the Paradise space had become more real and connected faster. (To be continued......)
