Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2476: A New Phase of Moon Development
Some of the fruits and vegetables developed and grown specifically for astronauts and pioneers living on the moon are now relatively functional and can be grown on a small scale, giving ordinary people the opportunity to come into contact with and eat them.

However, the astronauts who have now landed on the moon and started living with small animals have no time to pay attention to the changes on the ground of the blue planet. Even the various nutritious fruits they eat every day are only commented on with a few jokes.

"I heard that the No. 21 Kirin fruit sells for more than a thousand yuan each in Blue Star. Our living expenses are getting higher and higher."

"Hasn't it been cultivated to No. 31 now? It's ten generations behind the ground. It's indeed more difficult to cultivate locally. I just don't know if the Kirin fruit cultivated on Blue Star will taste different from the ones we eat. There's also the issue of taste. I always feel that the ones we eat are much softer, not as crispy and sweet as the Blue Star netizens commented."

"Hahaha, the taste is indeed different. Before I came to the moon, I had eaten No. 18 to No. 22. The taste was basically getting crisper and sweeter, and the special wolfberry flavor was also getting lighter. And now Jiuzhou Technology's breeding routes have been divided into several types. When some space breeding results are localized on Blue Star, they will be deliberately cultivated locally to stabilize and optimize some characteristics, and will no longer change frequently.

The lunar fruits we eat now, in addition to those grown on the moon, also include many grown in the Kyushu Space Station. The basic requirement is that they are separated from the ground environment of the Blue Planet and kept in a low-gravity or zero-gravity environment to maintain stable properties.

This is also a big project, and there is no commercial profit yet. To be honest, I don’t know how Jiuzhou Technology has persisted for so many years..."

"Hmph, how did they hold on? The revenue from technology licensing alone is enough to support countless research projects every year. We think that hundreds of millions are huge sums of money, but for the engineers of Jiuzhou Technology, hundreds of millions are just a matter of writing reports according to the projects. Now they don't even have to write reports themselves. As long as the joint cross-examination of the [Tiangong] AI and the [Xiezhi] AI is passed, the project can apply for hundreds of millions of funds at will... I heard that Mr. Gu has increased the authority of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. These engineers can directly reserve space on the Zhuyue Starship and do the experiments they like. It's outrageous."

"We are not bad, right? We have our own space station and can reserve space on the Moon Chasing Starship. Moreover, we also have our own land in this Moon City..."

"Yes, it seems like it's ours, but don't we still have to write reports, apply, and wait in line? All those universities and research institutes on the ground are vying for positions. Recently, the experiments I have to do are not what I like. Every day I help Xia Ke Institute with projects. I originally wanted to take some free time to do my own things, but my free time is also fully scheduled. Alas, although I understand that the opportunity to conduct lunar experiments is precious, you can't really treat us like slaves."

"Cows and horses have rest, but we are nuclear-powered cows and horses. Hahaha, stop complaining on this channel. After these three days of work, let's go to the Spiritual Ecology to rest."

Perhaps due to differences in work content and other reasons, although some members of Daxia's official engineering team were very enthusiastic about the moon landing work, under the influence of the long-term low-gravity environment and high-pressure work intensity, the emotional state of a small number of people began to deteriorate.

Even when some young elites communicated with Jiuzhou Technology staff and learned that the other party had no mandatory work requirements and that work arrangements were voluntary, their emotions became even more turbulent.

Because some of them don't actually want to go to the moon; some do want to go to the moon but don't really want to deal with so much work day and night.

Under special circumstances, it is actually very difficult for humans, as primates, to maintain a stable emotional state.

And the pioneers sent to the moon by Kyushu Technology, whom they mentioned, actually had their own little emotions.

The food at the lunar base is terrible and the sleep is poor. Although I have prepared myself mentally, I can only rely on the spiritual ecosystem to meet my family when I cannot contact them for a long time.

After the AI ​​Hua Tuo discovered these emotional changes, the team of psychological experts and the medical team combined the solutions given by the artificial intelligence AI Hua Tuo and quickly took measures from multiple angles such as diet therapy, acupuncture, and meditation to stabilize the mental state of these colleagues living on distant planets. In addition, the engineering team designed and developed a special model of spiritual lander with extremely efficient work efficiency, which needs to be bound to the individual and cannot be used by outsiders.

The unique personal hygiene treatment system, personal special line communication, simultaneous transmission of temperature particles and special interactive functions were delivered to the lunar base by the latest moon-chasing starship, and soon greatly alleviated the "homesickness" of some colleagues.

But this is also only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Although it can alleviate the problem, the real needs of human beings still need to be met in reality.

Therefore, the Lunar Pioneer Project requires that all project participants, except for those like Yu Hongbin who insist on staying on the moon and whose psychological test data have always performed well, will be forced to return to the Blue Planet for vacation as long as their psychological test data is unsatisfactory or has reached the critical point.

In the two months since the Daxia official announced on November 1035, 11 of the Xiayin calendar that the first phase of the Moon City project had built a protective dome covering an area of ​​12 square kilometers and the main construction of the first ring city area had been completed, more than 1.2 pioneers and Daxia official team members have left the moon and returned to the Blue Star for vacation and rest.

When the Moon Chaser leaves the moon fully loaded, another one will rush to the moon fully loaded.

When it came to May 1036, 5 in the Xia Yin calendar, when people were "enjoying" holidays and shifts and overtime, a Moon-Chasing Starship carrying 1 elites and various animals, equipment and materials, successfully launched from the Kunlun Space Base in accordance with past practice.

The only difference from previous launches is that in addition to a standardized public announcement, this launch mission also invited hundreds of elite experts and scholars from all walks of life around the world to Kunlun City to watch the launch.

Gu Qing, the founder of Jiuzhou Technology, who has not appeared in public for a long time, also appeared at the event.

When he appeared at the scene, even those experts and scholars who had considerable reputation in the industry would subconsciously focus their attention on him at the first moment.

"He actually showed up. This Mr. Gu is really elusive."

"Our field is almost becoming a subsidiary of Jiuzhou Technology. The speed at which this company produces results is so fast that it is beyond our expectations. But there is nothing we can do about it. The results produced by Jiuzhou Technology are indeed excellent. Alas."

"Have you noticed that Mr. Gu's demeanor and appearance have basically not changed. He doesn't look like a man in his forties at all. He has a much better temperament than a young man in his twenties." "My granddaughter is particularly obsessed with Mr. Gu. His photos are all over her room. But there is a good thing. She has good grades and says she wants to be like Mr. Gu."

"Professor Zhang, I heard that your team is working with Jiuzhou Technology to study deep-sea creatures. How is the progress?"

"I can't tell you for now. I can only say that everything is going well. After today's event is over, I have to go back to the project. Although the young people in the team don't need an old man like me, these post-2000s have better brains and more energy..."

The post-90s generation, who were once called the lost generation, are now in their 30s and 40s, and the youngest of the post-00s generation is 27 years old, which is a good age to be a screw in the research team...

As soon as Gu Qing started speaking, the voices of discussion disappeared almost instantly.

He is no longer the young Gu. Looking at the elites from various industries around the world, his first reaction is that there are a lot more yellow-skinned faces.

Therefore, the smile on his face became more relaxed.

At this moment, the photographers of Jiuzhou Entertainment Company showed their top work attitude and ability and took pictures frantically.

"Thank you all for taking the trouble to attend our Moon Chaser Starship launch ceremony...

In this future science and technology city, we have created many world firsts: the world's first fully automatic engineering robot, the first AI-controlled top-level CNC ultra-precision machining machine, the first fully intelligent space launch system, the world's first smart manufacturing factory that can undertake mecha manufacturing...

A large number of industrial electronic heavy equipment will help us realize our dreams of flying into space, landing on the moon, and exploring Mars...

Drawing up a blueprint for the new century, we at Jiuzhou Technology are planning to build the moon into the second home of mankind, and striving to promote manned space flight and lunar development projects... In the fields of intelligent robots and space mechatronics, advanced mechanical design, ultra-precision manufacturing, micro-nano manufacturing, etc., we are cooperating with major universities and research institutions to cultivate talents for the new era and build the heart of intelligent robots.

I see that many people are curious about the living conditions in the Moon City and want to know what qualifications are needed to live and work in the Moon City No. 1. Currently, we at Jiuzhou Technology are communicating with relevant teams and official agencies regarding this situation.

Anyway, my principle is to transform all current and future lunar cities into alien habitats for all living things on our Daxia and our blue planet, while ensuring everyone's health and life safety as much as possible.

At the same time, we at Jiuzhou Technology will continue to work with elite talents, engineers, scientists, workers and rural friends from all walks of life at home and abroad, and move forward with great enthusiasm to open up a new home for mankind on the moon! Give more seeds of hope to the future! ..."

After the speech, the elites from various industries at the scene heard the information they wanted to know, and they all stood up and applauded excitedly. Many of them were even thinking about going to Kunlun City’s sports training center or mecha training center this afternoon to start exercising.

After all, if Jiuzhou Technology and the government really open up access to living in the lunar city, no matter how low the requirements are, there should be certain requirements for physical health. Otherwise, how can those sickly people survive the fatigue of long-distance flight and the low-gravity environment?

After Gu Qing finished his speech, a middle-aged and elderly person came on stage, which made the crowd even more excited.

The reporter of Xiahua News Agency waited for the person to finish his speech before concluding: “…the message to the Moon City and the Moon development project is mainly reflected in the emphasis and support for scientific and technological innovation and space exploration…it emphasizes that the construction of the Moon is not only a contribution of outstanding enterprises and research institutions such as Jiuzhou Technology to space exploration, but also an important part of Daxia’s space program.

It was mentioned that the Jiuzhou Technology team of engineers was brave and innovative, and was committed to solving various difficulties and obstacles in the development and construction of the moon, such as the lack of natural resources and the low-gravity environment.

...indicated that this plan of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, a subsidiary of Jiuzhou Technology, will lay a certain scientific foundation for establishing base cities on other planets, reflecting that Daxia has the confidence and ability to become a leader in space exploration.

In addition, ... it also emphasized that in the new era, the importance of scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation cannot be ignored, and should even be the first requirement..."

This series of reports made the local people of Daxia very excited, and the related concepts of Kunlun City Fund and Moon Development Fund also saw a surge in demand.

But for other competing international organizations, it is more disgusting and uncomfortable than eating moldy bread or baguette.

Robin, the current head of NASA, became a bridgehead warrior and announced that NASA's manned lunar landing will launch a manned lunar spacecraft on "this beautiful day" of Christmas this year.

Although this statement attracted a lot of attention, there are still very few financial institutions willing to buy American corporate stocks and want to be bullish on the American economy. Only JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, the two split brothers, and a few old investment banks will "support" it because of mission requirements.

Like Mr. Thomas, the former head of NASA, when he heard his successor's speech, he ruthlessly sold all the stocks of American listed companies in his hands, and transferred the remaining money to the Daxia Financial Stock Market through Hong Kong as a springboard, buying Jiuzhou Technology Concept Fund, stocks and Daxia Lunar Development Fund.

While he was doing these things, he also received calls from some old colleagues and old friends. When they asked him what he thought about NASA's manned moon landing, Thomas would say in a very sincere and slightly gentle tone: "There is no doubt that this will succeed. God will always bless America. This is a huge project that has been prepared for more than ten years by many universities and research institutions."
