Chapter 460: Space Elevator - Space Agriculture

The picture of the dog farming spread all over the world and caused an uproar.

It also makes the already outrageous world even more outrageous.

But this is a great thing for the investors of the space elevator.

Of course, the investors are not interested in dogs, but on one-meter-long eggplants and house-sized pumpkins......

You must know that the collapse of Xu Fei's negotiations with the four major grain merchants means that global food prices are about to rise sharply.

If it was placed in previous years, it would have risen, at most one-tenth of the price, and no one would care about it.

However, countries and regions that have invested in space elevators have smashed countless funds and resources into them in order to carry out projects.

Later, the commercial operation of the space elevator was like a reassurance to the investor, which not only made the investor take the initiative to make additional investment, but also made the investor take the initiative to come up with more resources and even take the initiative to take out loans......

As a result, the vast majority of countries participating in the space elevator are in a dilemma of tight finances, and they are unable to come up with foreign exchange to purchase grain from overseas.

Without food, there will definitely be a big mess in the future.

And now, when the investor saw the picture of the dog farming, he instantly found another profitable project for the space elevator, that is, space breeding.

Space breeding originated in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and even the relatively backward East included it in the 863 program and invested a lot of money in space experiments.

It's just that manned spaceflight is a very difficult project for the home planet, including the hairy bear that invests in the Salyut series space station, and it is impossible to realize the permanent presence of astronauts.

If it is not possible to achieve permanent residency, it is impossible to arrange experimenters, and can only use remote control technology with 'network latency is very serious' to operate machinery and equipment for breeding.

Therefore, the progress of space breeding is very slow, and even in the new century, there have not been a few successful cases, otherwise there would be no such thing as genetically modified organisms.

But now it's different.

The space platform of the space elevator project has actually cultivated more than ten kinds of genetic mutant seeds.

The most important thing is that these seeds are completely different from the 'genetically modified seeds' criticized on the Internet.

For example, the sequence of a normal seed is 12345.

After the genetic mutation, the sequence became 15432, which has the characteristics of early maturity, high quality, high yield, and strong disease resistance, but the taste is basically the same, or the taste is stronger and better.

After transgenic, the sequence becomes 12345678, and there is an extra 678, that is, cucumbers have the taste of tomatoes, or tomatoes have the taste of apples, or grapes have the taste of pineapples, which are all genetically modified.

As a result, the vast majority of genetically modified organisms cannot be retained, but space breeding can give birth to the next generation in the natural environment.

Then, using the space platform, cultivating more seeds, and then bringing them back for planting, maybe the rice that used to be twice a year will become three crops a year, and the yield in a single season is higher.

As long as food production rises, countries and regions that invest in space elevators will naturally be able to survive the 'rise in food prices'.

To this end, the representatives of the space elevator investors who are based in X city flew directly to Daze.

Representative Dog Tuo-Nan Bangzi was the first to speak: "Mr. Xu, the space elevator was attacked, and three nodes were seriously damaged, resulting in the suspension of the project for two years.

At the moment when the situation on the home planet is complicated, this is tantamount to adding insult to injury for space elevator investors.

But space platforms breed mutant seeds, and if we increase the scale of cultivation, maybe we won't have to wait until we build a space elevator for the moon as well, let alone wait for helium-3 to be shipped back, and we will be profitable. ”

"You should know the environment of outer space, if we increase the number of cultivation, we need to provide more water, oxygen, organic fertilizer, etc., it is difficult."

Xu Fei shook his head and sighed, but he didn't refuse on the spot.

Because the space elevator was built by the house, not to mine helium-3, but to experiment with the star engine on the moon, and then Boom the moon or let the moon wander with the home planet.

At the same time, considering that the environment of the home planet will become worse and worse in the future, it will also build a space planting project.

This is the main reason why space platforms give birth to mutation seeds.

In February this year, the space elevator was completed, because it does not mine helium 3, considering the early publicity, in order to avoid the investor making trouble, the best way is to wait for the space platform to be completed, with the ability to build a small planetary engine, and then Boom the space elevator, so that the entire space elevator project is suspended.

However, the expansion of space agriculture projects and the construction of small planetary engines are not small moves, and when the space platform reaches a certain scale, it will not be able to avoid satellite photography.

Therefore, they need a reason to blatantly create space agriculture.

And in the field of doing business.

Taking the initiative to invite investors to participate in space agriculture is tantamount to 'asking for others' and is very passive.

On the contrary, the investor has to ask for his own right, which is equivalent to his own initiative.

Therefore, Xu Fei interviewed the four major grain merchants, and deliberately talked about the collapse, which led to the imminent rise in the price of global food, and then through the mood of the fox, he exposed the 'dog farming', as well as many genetically mutated crops, which made the world's food-deficient countries see hope.

Now the investor of the space elevator takes the initiative to come to the door, which is equivalent to the success of the space agriculture plan, and the next step is to use the initiative in their own hands to slaughter the investor again to maximize the benefits.

Sure enough, no one knows how to do business better than I do. ’

Xu Fei sat in the conference room, sighed again with a sad face, and brought his acting skills to the extreme, "I understand your feelings, and I also know the seriousness of the food problem, but the space platform seems to be endless, but in fact, it contains living areas, test areas, material storage, and areas that can be used for breeding, and there are very few. ”

"Mr. Xu, we can continue to expand the space platform, after all, during the commercial operation, we will send hundreds of thousands of square meters of alloy plates. ”

"It takes labor to build a space platform, and it also takes labor to cultivate seeds in outer space, especially to screen good seeds with a probability of 1 in 10,000 mutations, and it takes a large number of experimenters......

Without waiting for Xu Fei to finish speaking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Factory director, we can make additional investment!" ”

Xu Fei was surprised: "Your finances are tight, and the precious metals have been sold out, what are you doing to smash the project?" ”

"Loans, as long as you lend us money, won't we have money?"

When the voice of the representative of Yi Duli fell, the representatives of Wajima, Nanbangzi, the North American TEP Group, and the representatives of Renault of the North American countries suddenly realized and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, the representative of Canada said in disbelief: "Director Xu's interest, but the daily interest is ten thousand?" Aren't you too high?! ”

The representative of Nan Bangzi shook his head and said, "The price of grain in the world is about to rise sharply, and now many countries are secretly rushing to buy, and the loan interest is naturally rising, and when the price of food rises, maybe the loan interest will exceed the daily interest rate of Director Xu, besides, we are investing in space breeding, and the annual rate of return will definitely be more than six thousand times a day, and even the final income will be thousands of times higher than the loan interest, tens of thousands of times, so it is more appropriate to find Director Xu to take out a loan to smash the project." ”

Representatives of Wajima, Edulli, North American TEP Group, Renault, etc., nodded again when they heard this.

Faced with this kind of scene, the New Zealand representative wanted to complain: You're afraid it's not a dog, right?

But Jamaican second-hand car dealers are rampant in the Tasman Sea, and New Zealand needs Debei to help fight terrorism, so it is not good to offend Xu Dagong.

As for other countries......

If the food problem can be solved and the chaos can be avoided, no one cares about the daily interest.

Because the country is the country, everyone is a part-time worker.

Xu Fei agreed to the loan on the spot, and immediately took out Wall Street dividends and more than 500 billion U.S. bonds accumulated in recent years.

But just as he took out the calculator and planned to divide the money, and then take it back through additional investment, Xu Fei looked at the space platform on the XLED screen, and his heart moved, "Ladies and gentlemen, you say, if we make the space platform into a ring, like a planetary ring, let it revolve around the parent star, and let it have the function of alternating day and night, will we be able to build space agriculture?" ”

The representative of Canada: "Mr. Xu, how do we send water, oxygen, organic fertilizer, etc.?" ”

"Have you ever seen a vacuum blood collection tube? Insert the needle into the patient's blood vessel, and connect the other end to the vacuum blood collection tube, and the blood will automatically flow back into the vacuum tube. ”

The representative of New Zealand was confused, "Mr. Xu, are you sure this is not a whim?" You know, the gravity of the home star and the weight of the seawater will counteract the pressure from space, and I estimate that the seawater will stay at a height of tens of meters at most, and will not flow into outer space. ”

"The key factor restricting the development of science and technology is not technology, nor brains, but materials, we can use all kinds of new materials, continue to try, as long as we find something to counteract gravity, maybe we can realize this idea, of course, even if it can't be realized, we still have a space elevator, which can be transported up with a carriage."

“……”

"So, you might as well borrow more money and invest more."

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little wrong.

At the beginning, my own plan was to find loans from countries around the world, and when my family owed a lot of debts, I didn't have to pay it back.

What now?

It seems that the other way around, the countries of the world owe us money.

If the flood rushes, who will we ask for debts at that time?

Xu Fei immediately put away Wall Street's share and many documents on U.S. bonds, intending to open his mouth and refuse to lend.

But after thinking about it again, the flood is rushing, and North America is gone, what do we want so many beautiful knives for?

Sure enough, having money is also a trouble. ’

……

I'm late again, so I'll take half a chapter off and make up for it tomorrow.
