Everyone's eyes were focused on the man. The entire virtual conference room was silent, and some couldn't believe their ears.
Space Elevator, what did they hear? The Xia National Academy of Sciences actually realized the space elevator technology that existed in science fiction movies.
What a shocking thing.
No one will doubt it, but as the man said, Xia Guo seems to have solved all the technical support needed for the space ladder.
The Xia Kingdom has no shortage of energy, because it has controllable nuclear fusion reactor technology, which has completely solved the dependence of human civilization on energy at this stage.
In the construction of the space elevator, materials are very important. How to ensure that the "rope" of the space elevator will not break, the materials are crucial.
Nanomaterials are by far the most suitable material for making this "rope".
The two most critical difficulties have been solved, and the space elevator is at least half successful.
Soon, they realized a most critical problem.
The technology belongs to Xia Guo.
Will Xia share it for no reason? Absolutely impossible! So what is the purpose of Xia Guo convening people from various countries to participate in this meeting.
It won't be a simple show off, because Xia Guo disdains this.
Yes, materials, back to the original issue, materials.
But unlike in the past, this time what troubles the construction of the space elevator project is raw materials.
To build a space elevator from the ground to space, even if you start building a space elevator on the highest mountain in the world, the raw materials required are an astonishing number.
Even a big country like Xia State cannot support such material consumption.
In this way, this secret meeting was the result of Xia Guo trying to drag countries around the world into the water.
"Gentlemen and girls, you should be cheering, the interstellar era is really here!"
However, the virtual conference room was still silent, and everyone was quiet and silent.
Who here doesn't know that Xia people never do business at a loss. If they get benefits here, they will inevitably lose more benefits from other places.
For example...the reserve technology of each country.
In the past few years, due to the Merck civilization, countries have rarely come up with many technologies, but everyone knows that countries still retain the most advanced technologies.
Seeing that the people participating in the meeting from various countries were silent, the man standing on the podium smiled like a spring breeze.
He spoke again:
"Are you worried that there are not enough materials to build a space elevator? You don't have to worry about this, we are already prepared."
"Please look at the big screen."
The next moment, a planet lit up on the big virtual screen behind the man.
Mars, everyone recognized it at a glance.
The unique fiery red color is easy to identify.
"Feasibility Report on Construction of Mars Space Elevator"
Directly above the fiery red 3D rotating image of Mars, a line of text appeared.
"Considering that we do not have any experience in building space elevators, for safety reasons, after many discussions with our expert team, we finally unanimously decided to build a space elevator on Mars to facilitate the construction of a Mars space city in the future."
"Next, we will bring you another piece of good news."
The man raised his hand and motioned for everyone to continue looking at the screen.
The originally rotating 3D Mars lens kept zooming in, and a huge crater appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It's just a crater. There are not many craters on Mars with the size of the one on the screen.
But, what does this have to do with the space elevator.
"Maybe some people are wondering what's so interesting about a Martian crater."
The man smiled confidently and spread his hands.
"What if this is a natural mine rich in various metal minerals?"
"Just a few days ago, Candy Technology's Hope stayed on Mars for a few days during its trial voyage. The spider robot sent by Academician Mo of our country accidentally discovered this mine. Please take a look at the detailed data."
Numbers appeared on the big screen one after another, and people from various countries could no longer sit still. If there were no problems with the estimated values of various metal minerals on the screen, who could still sit still.
No wonder, no wonder Xia Guo’s expert team from the Academy of Sciences proposed building a space elevator on Mars.
Because you can use local materials!
"Protest! Mars belongs to all mankind!"
"Yes! Mars belongs to all mankind."
…
Faced with the strong response from participants from various countries, everyone in the Xia delegation was not surprised at all.
If you don't protest and let Xia State exploit this mine, then Xia State will completely surpass all other countries in the world and become the only one.
No country wants to see this scene, except the Xia Kingdom.
Just because of this, Xia Guo simply put the issue in the open and strived for the greatest benefit.
If you want to eat cake, you can, but if you want to eat cake for nothing, then you can only say sorry.
At this moment, everyone was aware of a more serious problem.
There are currently only two biggest problems limiting the development of human civilization.
One is energy and the other is resources.
The energy problem has been solved after the realization of controllable nuclear fusion reactor technology two years ago.
At present, amazing resources have been discovered on Mars, coupled with the abundant nuclear materials on the moon, it can be predicted that human beings will enter a period of explosive development in the next few years.
At such a critical time, even one step behind could have dire consequences for the country's future.
One step behind, every step behind.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you are used to the life of the great powers, how can Western countries be willing to be bullied?
Space Elevator Project, you must join!
In the noisy virtual conference room, Mo Jingchun frowned and was thinking.
The speaker just mentioned a word.
Mars Space City.
Mo Jingchun didn't think the spokesperson just said it casually. There was a high possibility that the higher-ups were already studying plans to build a Mars space city.
Mo Jingchun, who was thinking about the problem, vaguely heard someone calling him.
At Ling's reminder, Mo Jingchun raised his head blankly and looked at the podium.
Let me speak. What should I say?
"Academician Mo, everyone wants to hear your suggestions and ideas."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't have any suggestions, I am just a simple scientific researcher, and I do some small business by the way.
but……"
"There are inexhaustible resources for human civilization outside the Blue Star. Why should we consume them inside the Blue Star?
With all due respect, as long as we continue to expand outward and share common interests, everyone will be friends, right?
Now that human civilization has entered the first-level civilization, I think the most important thing is to develop peacefully during this period of technological explosion, build a solar system defense circle as quickly as possible, and then carry out inter-galactic voyages in the next step. "
Shrugging, Mo Jingchun laughed at himself. "Of course, this is just my personal idea, just listen to it."
