Chapter 1250 (1/2)

”We are moving towards a great era.”

”Just as Columbus took the whole of Europe to America, our fleet has taken the global vision to tens of millions of kilometers away.”

”With the progress of our engine, I believe that this number will double or even exponentially increase in the next century.”

”Mars is just a barren desert, full of radiation, sandstorms and deadly dangers, but apart from distance itself, I don't think it's going to be worse than the moon.”

”It's rich in iron ore, and every grain of sand smells of rust. The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter will become a future mine for all metals such as titanium, rare earth and helium-3 energy

”Our fleet is growing, and our colonists will go there in batches and transform it into the largest industrial area in the solar system that has made human civilization possible. We will use it as a springboard to fly out of the boundaries of the solar system and redraw the frontiers of our civilization. ”

”Star ring trade welcomes any enterprise from all over the world to participate in the development of Mars.”

”It is expected that by the middle of this year, we will determine the path between earth and Mars. We will open our first flight to Mars at the latest early next year

“……”

The hall resounded with passionate speeches.

Sitting in the presidential suite in the heart of the ocean, two men in suits sit by the window.

On the table, there are expensive red wine, and behind her stands a well-dressed and beautiful secretary. Judging from their suits, watches and the temperament between their eyebrows, they should be businessmen who came to Singapore to investigate the investment environment.

From their point of view, they can just overlook the whole venue.

”Charles, I heard you sold the diamond mines in South Africa?” The man with a hooked nose sipped his red wine.

”Yes,” the Jewish faced man nodded and said simply, ”after the downfall of the Rothschild bank, I bought back the debt of my company at a low price. Now my decision is the decision of our company.”

”No, no, no, I mean Why are you doing this? ” The eagle nosed man asked curiously, ”I remember you were quite optimistic about the reserves of that diamond mine last year. Why did you change your mind this year?”

”Didn't you find out?” The Jew raised his chin and looked out of the window at the meeting hall. ”From the ambition of futureman group, I can feel that in the next century at least, there is no future for the traditional resource industry. Take a look at Vale's share price. Even people on Wall Street are reducing their shares. ”

”So you're going to move the industry from downstream to upstream?” The eagle nosed man said with a smile, ”I remember you bragged to me last year that the factory may go bankrupt, but the mine can always keep its value.”

”You know,” shrugged the Jew, ”it was last year.”

The same scene, repeated in different places.

Although the market has not made any response at this moment, people's expectation of the original mining industry has fallen to the freezing point.

In the next few days or even months, the futures market prices of iron, aluminum ore and various types of steel will plunge all the way, and only titanium ingot and rare earth will remain at the original price. These two kinds of things are widely used in spacecraft, the demand is second only to the ”large quantity of pipe full” steel.

Compared with the sharp fall of raw material prices, the development of upstream industry ushered in a good opportunity. Factories have sprung up in ANGA Island, Singapore Malaysia special zone and the newly built Mindanao Industrial Park. With the advantage of being close to the space elevator, they can obtain cheap space minerals at lower shipping costs, and global capital is keen to invest in setting up factories here.

All the changes are going on imperceptibly.

At this moment, standing in the front of the conference hall, he described the future of human civilization to the whole audience and even the whole world with his voice. He had not thought of going so far away.

Now he plays the same role as Columbus did.

Depicting the ”new world” as a paradise full of gold, where the fleet leading the star ring trade dug up the coveted first pot of gold, the kindling of civilization will naturally cross the sea, transforming a piece of barren soil into an imaginary paradise.

In a burst of applause, the excited and emotional speech came to an end.

Jiang Chen nodded his thanks to the applause, then handed the microphone to the host and turned away.
