Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 641 Titan Technology, Site Visit

Since the founding of Titan, two dubious rumors have circulated on its home planet.

One is a 'prehistoric site'.

Rumors circulated that the North American fleet stationed in the Gulf of Aden and the three-line Liss town shipyard guards jointly combated Red Sea pirates in order to ensure the safe and unobstructed passage of the Red Sea route.

Unexpectedly, the pirates grew stronger with each battle, forcing North America and the three factions to continuously increase their troop numbers, leading to the Oil Nation's agricultural colony, the landing of North American troops in East Africa, and the Oil Nation's shared arsenal incident.

Later, the allied forces of the three Americans achieved successive victories and entered the pirates' lair, where they unexpectedly discovered the ruins of a prehistoric civilization.

Later, the three women joined forces to create Titan in order to develop prehistoric civilization relics.

Because the factory's propaganda department, the North American democratic faction, and the European Juz-Zahi Warburg have produced numerous documentary films and repeatedly exposed the front-line battle situation in order to boost Titan Corporation's stock price, the credibility of this rumor is as high as 50%.

However, in academia, historians, geographers, and geologists all resisted this kind of false hype that doesn't even qualify as amateur science, and angrily denounced the three major US and European countries for abandoning all shame in order to speculate on stocks.

The other is the 'cosmic pit'.

Rumors circulated that North America, in its struggle for control of the Red Sea shipping lanes, hired pirates from the Gulf of Aden to seize the Three Series Liss nuclear power plant, resulting in a violent explosion at the reactor.

The explosion appears to have affected an experimental nuclear fusion reactor, or other reactors, causing the high-energy blast wave to unexpectedly break through the space layer, leaving a three-meter-high 'singularity'.

Through this 'singularity', both sides in the conflict glimpsed the outside world.

This sounds incredibly absurd, with almost zero credibility.

However, in 2007, during the global process of AI deification, countries around the world stole data from each other and obtained some confidential information that would not be decrypted for at least 30 to 50 years through their respective AI-gods.

For example, the Three-Series Leestown nuclear power plant has gathered at least 50 top-level nuclear energy experts from North America and 30 top-level condensed matter physicists.

For example, more than 700 scientists from the three departments were sent to Lisi Town, including academicians from the East.

For example, a top-secret research report originating from the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau.

The report states:
Although gravity acts uniformly on a cosmic scale, meaning there are no 'craters' in the traditional sense,
However, gravitational potential energy is like terrain, and there are indeed low-level gravitational fields and low-energy valleys in the gravitational field of stars, which are like 'pits' or 'potential trap effects'.

In the solar system, the parent star is located within the 'potential trap' of the Sun's gravitational field.

Within the Milky Way galaxy, the solar system is located within the 'potential well' of the galactic gravitational field.

If you zoom out to 1 million light-years in scale and observe a dynamic cosmological map, you'll find that the solar system is like a drop of oil falling into a lake, just below the surface, or like a light bulb being pressed into the sand.

And our home planet, humanity, lives inside this light bulb.

Inside the light bulb, we observe the outside world. Even though our gaze can penetrate the 'sand' and see the whole world, everything we observe is magnified due to the influence of the bulb's walls.

Because the light bulb was buried in sand, it was difficult to spot from the outside, and almost impossible to find.

Therefore, we are trapped in a deep cosmic pit, making it difficult to leave the solar system and impossible to encounter extraterrestrial civilizations.

The nuclear leak in Lisburg corroded a small hole in the bulb wall, opening a door to the outside.

The first to benefit were naturally the two sides in the conflict: Sanyuan Agriculture and 'Old Federal Capital'.

This 'Old Federal Capital' includes the Smith Foundation and the Brooks family.

The two parties formed Titan Corporation with the intention of jointly exploring the outside world.

Therefore, the Smith Corporation moved to the East.

Therefore, the Brett family retreated to Texas, thereby freeing themselves from the constraints of North America and maintaining cooperative relationships with the three factions.

Therefore, Titan Corporation received external technological support, and its product attributes were completely different from those of the three systems of technology or Western technology.

Because the rumor involves too many complex elements, its credibility at the grassroots level is almost zero.

Descriptions such as "nuclear explosion breaking through the space layer", "corrosion of light bulb walls opening doors", and "peeping into the outside world through a singularity" far exceed the limits of current scientific understanding and technological capabilities, sounding like fantasy or science fiction, making their credibility in the field of microscopic/technical science almost zero.

However, research reports on 'gravitational potential traps' and similar 'Lagrange points' are not only a correct deduction and metaphor for the existing universe, but also, like the theory of evolution, explain many inexplicable problems of the parent star on a cosmic scale.

For example, the Fermi Paradox – the inability to encounter aliens.

It can even perfectly connect and explain all anomalous events, such as the Liss nuclear leak that sealed off the Red Sea for nearly two years, the unprecedented gathering of top scientists, major geopolitical and capital flows (the cooperation between the three US states, Smith's investment in the three), the sudden explosion of technology in the three systems, the subsequent development of a series of high-performance technologies in North America, and Titan Corporation's technological creations that are different from the mainstream of the home planet and also different from those of the three systems...

Therefore, this rumor has gained nearly 80% credibility in the macro narrative of the scientific field.

Therefore, Titan Corporation has always been shrouded in mystery, both enigmatic and seemingly hiding some earth-shattering secret.

At this World's Fair, Titan Corporation showcased a series of creations that existed only in human imagination to demonstrate its supreme status in the field of technology.

For example, mecha similar to Gundam.

Codenamed Xingtian, it is 18.2 meters tall, weighs 55.3 tons, and has a crew of 2.

It adopts a biomimetic locust leg-reverse joint foot design, and uses carbon fiber skeleton + ceramic composite armor to reduce weight. The torso is tilted forward 5° to form an attack posture at any time, and 70% of the weight is concentrated in the lumbar spine and hips.

It features a built-in dual sensor array, multi-band communication module, 24 miniature fire extinguishing nozzles, V-shaped particle deflector, detachable composite armor, and six 280mm electromagnetic railguns.

The propulsion system is not yet disclosed, but it features 6 main propulsion nozzles, 32 auxiliary fine-tuning nozzles, a telescopic chainsaw sword integrated into the forearm, an energy guide ring and electromagnetic pulse munition mounted on the elbow, and 4 drone platforms on the shoulder, capable of carrying 350 suicide mini-drones…

For example, the magnetic levitation individual combat vehicle.

Code name - Somersault Cloud.

It adopts multiple micro-power systems such as wing-ground effect, magnetic levitation, and built-in propeller. It is 3.6 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, and weighs 2.3 tons. Its maximum speed on land is 240 kilometers per hour, its maximum speed at low altitude is 490 kilometers per hour, its maximum speed at altitudes above 1 meters is Mach 1.2, and its range is 1200 kilometers.

The vehicle is equipped with an AI sniper rifle, an AI net gun, AI miniature missiles, and an anti-sniper system…

Another example is individual mechanical armor.

It uses a specially designed suitcase for storage. When in use, the suitcase is unfolded, and the user stands on the footprint inside the suitcase. After verification, the suitcase will assist in putting it on.

Once worn, the appearance resembles that of a Gold Saint, and it possesses abilities such as lifting a thousand pounds, running 100 meters in under 5 seconds, and breaking a 1-foot concrete wall with a punch.

Its built-in life support system, temperature control system, bulletproof system, automatic counterattack system... If equipped with weapons, a single soldier's mechanized armor can completely overpower 20 main battle tanks in an unobstructed flat environment with its advanced technology.

In addition, Titan also showcased the same all-terrain two-wheeled electric scooters and similar mobility devices used by the crew of the Lunar 3 mission, a high-speed negative ion hair dryer suitable for all-space applications, numerous home appliances, Titan satellite network encrypted mobile phones, Titan satellite network encrypted laptops, Titan satellite network encrypted gaming terminals, and more…

And Titan Corporation's upcoming prototypes of the Titan brain-computer interface, AR glasses, VR glasses, and AI consumer electronics...

In addition, there are concept prototypes under development, such as the Titan flying motorcycle, Titan flying taxi, and Titan flying delivery/express delivery robot, which will be launched in the future.

"Hey, teacher from abroad, have you heard of Titan stock? You can buy it through stock exchanges in the Asia-Pacific, Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia. I swear, it's guaranteed to make you money."

As Yu Yang entered the World Expo, he was greeted by a local college student from Dongshan Prefecture, speaking in the local dialect and pulling three Frenchmen along to promote Titan stock.

"Although Titan Corporation is an empty shell, only used to attract investment, resources, and cash out through stock speculation, using this method for marketing is too purposeful. In the future, we must maintain the mysterious image of a company at the pinnacle of human technology."

The accompanying secretary shook his head in denial, saying, "When something gets hyped up, most people lose their composure and become blindly obedient. If we don't get straight to the point, the crowd that's scrambling for Titan stock will try to get their hands on the shares themselves and then get scammed. Rather than that, we should cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible, making Titan stock a dime a dozen... It's similar to Bitcoin, which you mentioned before, except that Titan stock is issued based on Titan's financial statements and corporate credit, and it's a security."

Yu Yang nodded. "Speaking of Bitcoin, I suddenly remembered Zhang Lei, who is in charge of space resource development. How is his project going?"

"It's not bad. After collaborating with Jeb, they designed a blockchain encryption system based on the graphics card matrix, and then launched a virtual currency that requires power consumption and the lifespan of the graphics card to obtain. But it's not called Bitcoin, it's called Helium 3 Coin."

As the accompanying secretary spoke, she pushed the relevant information to Yu Yang's AR glasses and continued, "Logically, it's roughly equivalent to consuming 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity plus one-tenth of the lifespan of 20 graphics cards with 1GB of video memory, in order to obtain one Helium-3 coin."

"Helium-3 coins will continue to appreciate in value based on the amount of helium-3 from the moon reaching the home planet and the progress of the nuclear fusion project."

“比如今年5月，氦3币基础价值2美刀，如果5月份氦3抵达月球2吨，氦3币增值2倍，到时候，氦3币持有者可以通过宇宙资源开发公司换取2倍挖掘氦3币消耗的电量和对应显卡折旧费的2倍电量。”

"For us, the logic behind Helium-3 coin is to consume the currently scarce electricity and graphics cards, increase the global demand for electricity and graphics cards, and promote the global deployment of nuclear power plants and the introduction of nuclear graphics card production lines."

"The more nuclear power plants there are, the more electricity they produce; the more graphics card companies there are, the higher the production of graphics cards; both depreciate accordingly."

"The so-called appreciation of Helium-3 coins is only what it sounds like. In reality, it means exchanging 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity now for 100, 200, or even more kilowatt-hours of electricity in the future, even if the value depreciates. Strictly speaking, its value has never changed."

"But global currencies are depreciating rapidly. 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity is worth about 2 US dollars now, but 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity may be worth 10 US dollars in the future."

"For those who invest in Helium 3 coins, as long as Helium 3 coins continue to appreciate in value and can be exchanged for electricity in the future, they will not lose money no matter what."

“Especially power and energy companies, which now hold a large stake in Helium-3 coin.”

"This makes Helium 3 coins as popular as Titan stock."

After reviewing the complex operational overview, Yu Yang asked, "If either of them goes bankrupt, how much will the global losses be?"

"Helium-3 Coin started relatively late, and if it collapses, the global loss will be at most 3000 billion US dollars. Titan started earlier and has a very large global impact. If it collapses, the world's financial system alone will lose 300 to 5000 billion US dollars."

"Our influence isn't enough. Ideally, we should be able to trigger a massive loss of 2 to 3 trillion US dollars, further exacerbating the global economic crisis. Otherwise, who would need us, the world's leading grain trader?"

“Okay, I will contact the think tank and secretariat to have them develop a better operational plan.”

Chatting.

Yu Yang walked through the dazzling array of products in the SY exhibition area and arrived at the exclusive territory of Sanyuan Agriculture.

In 07, Sanyuan Agriculture had become the world's largest grain trader.

Its businesses not only involve agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, but also cover planting, production, processing, transportation, supply, food production and retail sales...

Furthermore, it possesses a complete seed breeding system, fertilizer research system, pesticide research and development system, livestock gene optimization system, forage cultivation base, vegetation gene improvement system, vegetation cultivation base, fishery and seafood gene optimization system, lake water purification/seawater desalination project, etc.
Therefore, the exhibition area of ​​Sanyuan Agriculture is like a scaled-down version of the Mother Planet Ecological Park.

It has even extended to the lunar ecological park currently under construction and the future Mars colonization concept ecological park.

But to outside visitors, all of this is clearly inferior to the technologically advanced Titan Corporation, SY Group, MT Corporation, Obi Corporation, and so on.

Therefore, apart from the middle-aged women who like to join in the fun, the elderly men who like to walk their birds, the fishermen who seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and the cat lovers who have heard that they can pet cats, not many young people visit the Sanyuan Agriculture exclusive area, which is 'tiring to walk around'.

Even Yu Yang, like many others, lacked the patience to spend two days visiting his own exhibition area.

So after looking around at the door, I turned around and went to BlackRock next door.

At the entrance, Coca-Cola is on the left, Pepsi on the right, and extending backwards are Gillette razors, various brands of condoms, various brands of chewing gum…

Further inside, you'll find Nike, Adidas, Jordan, Reebok, Under Armour, Pony, and many more.

It also includes some Japanese sportswear brands, such as Descente, Mizuno, and ASICS.

Then there are sports equipment, toiletries, health products, and medicines…

As BlackRock has also begun to focus on investing in the technology sector in recent years, the exhibition area also features some consumer electronics products.

For example, monochrome screen e-books, AI education, AI chips…

While touring the area, Yu Yang casually bought a Reebok tracksuit and a pair of ASICS hiking boots. After changing into them on the spot, he stood in front of the mirror to check himself out.

The BlackRock CEO walked briskly over alone. "Mr. Yu," he said, "you have both a handsome face and a powerfully built physique."

"Thank you, but it's a pity you're all old; there's not a single one who can fight."

"···"

"However, we are very grateful that you have taken time out of your busy schedules to attend the World Expo hosted by us."

“I was just doing what I was supposed to do for employers, at least by increasing the visibility of the assets under my management through this expo.”

Yu Yang nodded. "Would you be willing to switch jobs and become the CEO of Sanyuan Agriculture?"

"what?"

"Not interested?"

"···"
