Interstellar Energy Tycoon - Chapter 272

c272 rapid expansion

Lu Yunyou’s smooth return.

It announced the “Stargate Project” of Xingyuan Group, successfully opening up the situation, successfully establishing the first energy and transportation center, and realizing comprehensive communication of passenger flow, logistics and information between the two stars.

The efficiency far exceeds the speed of light.

Even if each transmission operation requires trillions of kilowatt-hours of electricity and the transmission cost exceeds tens of billions, it can be described as a very luxury. Most people can’t afford the cost of this kind of transmission even if they go bankrupt.

But for Xingyuan Group, this is a very cost-effective and worthwhile transaction. Even if it invests an astronomical amount of funds and resources, it affects the group’s financial statements and the profit performance is not satisfactory, but the wait In the past ten years, the moment one thousand cubic meters of ‘star core crystals’ were returned, all the investment in this project meant that the money had been paid back.

He even made dozens of times the profit.

Because in today’s solar system, the value of ‘star core crystals’ has been discovered by all powerful interest groups. Governments of various countries attach great importance to it, adopting sky-high price acquisition methods, and trying their best to collect ‘star core crystals’. Nuclear crystal’ has even become one of the components of national power.

The price has been rising year after year, and the size of a piece of dice has skyrocketed from several million or tens of millions before to hundreds of millions or more than a billion. Moreover, it has a price but no market, and it is collected by countless forces. If we try to find a way to create superpowers, ordinary people will also know the existence and training methods of superpowers, and then regard this as a career with a bright future. Every year, countless people, They all aspire to become excellent superpowers, but the places are extremely limited, and the scale of training is getting smaller and smaller. After all, in the solar system, the ‘star core crystal’ resources are becoming exhausted, and the reserves in the core of Jupiter have also been exhausted, and the sun’s Inside the core, there may be a small amount distributed, but it is impossible to mine it.

Therefore, if you want to obtain more “star core crystals” and cultivate more powerful superpowers, you can only get them by going to other surrounding star systems, but the distance is too far, and conventional methods will take decades. , not many forces were willing to try. Only Xingyuan Group invested huge resources and secretly launched a “Stargate Project”, which almost consumed all the considerable inventory. It also encountered opposition from many high-level officials, who would rather waste decades more. , and cannot consume a large amount of the star core crystals in hand.

These conservative views and ideas were refuted by Li Xingyang, but he did not gain anything in ten years, but suffered a lot. This made Li Xingyang regretted for a time and had doubts about his decision. Fortunately, his persistence was correct. Seeing the rewards.

And based on the current exaggerated price of ‘star core crystals’, with a volume of 1,000 cubic meters, at least five million small ‘star core crystals’ can be cut out, and five million superpowers can be cultivated. Assuming that each superpower If the investor can create a value of 100 million yuan for the group, then it will be a terrifying 500 billion yuan. Compared with Xingyuan Group’s previous investment, the return will be at least ten times more.

Not to mention, Lu Yunyou also said that there are nearly 100,000 cubic meters of ‘star core crystal’ material on the First Immigration Star, and only one percent of it has been mined. If all of it is mined in the future, China’s number will be achieved. With a population of one billion, everyone is a superpower, allowing human civilization to enter the era of superpowers ahead of schedule and achieve an acceleration of evolution.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Xingyang to use all these ‘star core crystals’ to cultivate a group of superpowers. Instead, he will increase the number of ‘star gates’ built, build more ‘super god mechas’, and then send out one by one. The team performs missions and even goes to farther star systems to find more ‘star core crystals’, and then simultaneously builds space energy facilities and builds ‘star gates’ to continuously expand and expand outwards, perhaps using It won’t take too long to increase the sphere of influence of human civilization to the level of a hundred light years and hundreds of star systems.

at the same time.

Shortly after Lu Yunyou returned.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Xingyuan Group spent about 100 cubic meters of ‘star core crystals’ in the shortest possible time to build a giant ‘star gate’ and increased the maximum cross-sectional size of the teleported object to 300 meters. The weight has increased to 1 million tons, which can transport medium-sized shuttle spacecraft.

So a medium-sized spaceship was dispatched, and a team of a thousand elite superpowers were dispatched. Each of them had a ‘Super God Mecha’, as well as other resources and technical materials, and arrived as quickly as possible. First Immigrant Star’.

When a wormhole passage was successfully established between the two star gates.

The relatively large spaceship slowly flew out from the wormhole entrance and appeared in front of the hundreds of millions of citizens of the Emerald Star. When they saw thousands of ‘Super God Mechas’ lined up in a queue to demonstrate discipline and force. , when I saw scenes of shockingly destructive force exercises on TV.

The hearts of many immigrants suddenly sank to the bottom, and they felt a kind of despair.

Because before there were only five super-god mechas, they were no match at all. These super-god mechas achieved the feat of defeating a hundred thousand troops. Now the number of super-god mechas has increased to a thousand. The strength of the people has increased two hundred times, and their strength has increased at least a hundred times. Now let alone a serious PK. No matter what tactics are adopted, the probability of the immigrants gaining the upper hand in terms of force is zero. There is no visible sign. hope.

They can only endure the fate of being exploited and squeezed. Whether it is resources or energy, it is possible that they will be controlled by the Xingyuan Group. They have no say in the matter and their interests have been greatly infringed. It is estimated that their life, which was relatively good and abundant before, will He will never come back, even if he is enslaved, the future is dark anyway.

After all, those outsiders will definitely not be more inclined to them, and resource rationing will be greatly reduced, giving priority to their own food, drink and fun.

The standard of living will most likely be reduced by two or three levels. Some of them who are bloody and courageous have begun to consider whether they should continue to fight, launch resistance, and use their lives and blood to get back everything that belongs to them.

However, after a few days, the people discovered that their material rations had not been reduced, their wages and benefits had increased slightly, and some benefits and benefits had also been added.

For example, you can make an appointment for life-extending medical surgery at a lower price, which can break the shackles of genes and easily increase the average life span of humans to more than 500 years. The body can still maintain high vitality and still have the ability to work and take care of itself. Ability – such advanced medical technology, they definitely do not have it themselves, it was brought over from the home planet by the Star Source Group.

There are also some more advanced robotic technologies, industrial processing and production technologies that can improve the scientific and technological level of the Immigration Star by more than thirty years.

Including some popular music, songs, movies, games and other entertainment products in the solar system, they are also downloaded in large quantities, packaged, and released for free. Immigrants can read or use these entertainment products without spending money, allowing them to The spiritual world becomes richer.

Anyway.

No matter in what aspect, what Xingyuan Group brought this time has significantly improved the industrial technology level of the immigrant star, enriched the spiritual world of the immigrants, and made them healthier and longer, with all kinds of life. The benefits did not decrease but increased, which made people feel something unreal.

But this is indeed the fact before us.

Although anyone with a slightly smarter mind knows that the Xingyuan Group is trying to buy people’s hearts, hoping to win their favor through some small favors, and then seize more resources and benefits from them, concealing evil intentions and tricks. Low-level people simply underestimate their intelligence. Only fools will be fooled.

when……

Such a move lasted for a while.

Even some immigrants with higher status have repeatedly emphasized that they must not be fooled or be won over by such small favors. Instead, they must be more vigilant and organize the next wave of opposition actions. They must try their best to bring down the Xingyuan Group. The forces of the people must be completely squeezed out. They must decide their own territory and cannot allow them to trample or interfere. There are many calls for this.

But more people still had to shout out “Zhen Xiang”, gradually changed their minds, had to let down their guard, and admitted that Xingyuan Group was not bad – the proportion of this type of people was getting higher and higher.

“Originally, our medical technology can give people a maximum life span of three hundred years, and the technology to keep people young and energetic is not good. It can only extend lifespan but cannot fight aging. However, the most advanced anti-aging technology brought by Xingyuan Group Technology allows us humans to always remain around thirty years old, keep our brain thinking vitality at its peak, and have pretty good physical strength. The average life span of a person can be increased to at least 500 years, and it can continue to improve in the future. The door to eternal life is here At present, we absolutely do not have such advanced biotechnology, and even if we try to explore it, it will take a long time.”

“The industrial technology brought by Xingyuan Group can more than double the production efficiency of our industrial system. It also brings more advanced industrial robots with higher intelligence. It has helped us upgrade our 3D printers with stronger capabilities. It can be said that if we rely on ourselves to explore and improve printing production capabilities, we will not be able to improve to such an advanced level even in a hundred years.”

“After all, the novels on the home planet are better, the games are better, and the movies and TV series are more exciting. The quality of the cultural products we have produced over the years cannot be compared with those on the home planet, even if our creations are The author has also created some excellent spiritual food, but compared with the masterpieces on the home planet, they are not at the same level at all, or even an era behind them.”

“Since the restoration of contact with the home planet, I feel that most areas have brought about better changes, not worse. Maybe we are too sensitive and guarded. Anyway, I think life is pretty good now. There is no need. To take so-called protest actions, it is better to accept the status quo.”

“Yes, I am more inclined to accept the status quo. There is no need to resist. After all, we are all the same intelligent human beings.”

Public opinion quickly changed. The proportion of people who continued to hold rejection and opposition ideas was significantly reduced. Most of them chose to accept and acquiesce. The thoughts of dissatisfaction and resistance dissipated, and peace and indifference slowly returned.

Even if a few people still want to continue to fight against each other and are determined to squeeze out the power of the Star Source Group, seeing the number of superpowers and super-god mechas increase to thousands, it is like a bucket of cold water is poured on them. They don’t have any hope. The combat power of the super-god mecha is simply their nightmare. If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the result can only be a one-sided massacre. If they continue to resist, maybe they will all be finished, and they will not be able to hurt the star. The source group has nothing to lose, and this situation is desperate.

It is better to be patient and compromise.

More advanced technology, biomedical services that greatly extend lifespan, more developed productivity, and colorful cultural and entertainment products are all improving their living standards and happiness index in many aspects, especially a classic virtual online game , and even made some people who like to play games deeply indulge in it and get great satisfaction. Naturally, they will not speak ill of Xingyuan Group every day, and sometimes they will defend it. After all, the people of Xingyuan Group If you drive them away, they won’t be able to experience such a wonderful and fun game.

There are so many advanced things on the home planet. Once you enjoy and experience the benefits, those thoughts of separation will gradually disappear, and the proportion of people willing to integrate will significantly increase. Human beings are social animals after all. In a civilization, The more human beings there are, the more developed and wonderful they will be. Of course, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people can also be rich and live a comfortable pastoral life, which will also bring a great sense of happiness, but integration After that, it was like entering a bustling metropolis. The previously pastoral countryside was no longer particularly attractive. People still preferred metropolitan areas and were unwilling to return to the countryside.

Over time.

The centrifugal tendency will naturally become smaller and smaller, and the centripetal force will become stronger and stronger.

In this process, Xingyuan Group has made huge profits. A brand new star that has not been utilized is equivalent to endless energy. There are also more than 100,000 cubic meters of star core crystal resources, which are also used by Xingyuan. The group sent people to find and mine it, but the local immigrants did not get much. Although some people protested, in order to avoid the emergence of more destructive resistance forces, at least for now, they will not provide this material to cultivate a group of superpowers. , unless one day you can be completely trusted.

And after opening this situation.

Having obtained a rich ore of ‘star core crystal’, Xingyuan Group immediately gained a strong driving force for external development. It immediately dispatched more mission teams and more medium-sized spacecrafts, starting with more than twenty satellites around the solar system. Star began to establish surrounding transportation and energy nodes, and after obtaining more energy and resources, further expanded externally.
