Advanced Players in Arc

Norwegians like to eat sardines, especially live fish.

This results in the price of live fish on the market being much higher than that of dead fish, so fishermen will always find ways to get sardines back to the fishing port alive.

However, despite all efforts, most sardines will still die of suffocation midway.

But there is a fishing boat that can always bring most of the sardines back to the fishing port alive. However, the captain strictly keeps the secret until the captain dies, and the mystery is revealed.

It turns out that the captain put a catfish, which feeds on small fish, into a fish tank filled with sardines. When the catfish enters the fish tank, it will swim around because of the unfamiliar environment.

Sardines will be very nervous when they see a catfish, so they will rush left and right, avoid in all directions, and swim faster.

In this way, the problem of hypoxia of sardines will be solved, and the sardines will not die.

In this way, the sardines returned to the fishing port alive and kicking.

This is the famous "catfish effect."

And the fact is that now not only the United States, but also other countries participating in the development of initial island technology have once again raised the priority of initial island and related events.

The Arc Light Group is like the catfish in a school of sardines, chasing them everywhere, giving them a strong ability to survive.

Although all this is done like hitting them with a whip, it also avoids the possibility of them becoming salty sardines halfway.

Not only those participating countries in the development of initial island technology, but also those small countries that have not obtained the qualifications to develop initial islands are also aware of some problems and have begun to visit those big countries one after another.

Either directly pay for the purchase, or propose technical cooperation. Anyway, we are trying every means to improve the technological level of our country.

In this way, the earth also began to undergo a technological explosion without war, but the purpose of those countries was still to protect themselves.

Among these countries, there is one country that is quietly making a fortune, and that is Huaguo, because Dong Chen, a catfish, once ate at the house of this sardine named Huaguo.

In this situation where there is an acquaintance... oh no, a familiar fish, of course there will be preferential treatment.

The exchange of information and technology between Hua and Dong Chen has never stopped. However, as time goes by, Dong Chen gives more and more information and technology to Hua, while Hua gives Dong Chen more and more information. The equivalent value is getting less and less, and even now, apart from occasionally providing some strong support to the Arc Light Group in international affairs, there is very little else.

For example, when the Arclight Group was "besieged" by some companies in the world, there were only no Chinese companies there, and they even cooperated more closely.

Also when the Arc Light Group and the United States were at odds with each other over the Musk Aerospace Company matter, China was firmly on the side of the Arc Light Group.

As for the other benefits, I really haven’t seen them yet.

However, China has also promised that when many countries leave the earth and start to occupy the inner circle of the solar system, China will still stand on the side of the Arc Light Group.

Of course, this is something that will happen in the future. Whether it will be useful or not, Dong Chen has no hope. It is not certain who will support whom by then.

Privately, Hua Guo relied on the technology provided by Dong Chen to subtly upgrade science and technology and change everything in the country.

Therefore, apart from Dong Chen's Arc Light Group, among the remaining countries on earth, China is the most developed.

It's just that it is now mixed in a large group of sardines, and no one has noticed it yet.

When you separate the fish group and compare several fish, you will definitely find out, "Why has the Huaguo fish grown so big?!"

Some people are happy and some are unhappy, and the unhappy ones are naturally the United States.

It would naturally not be a good feeling to be kicked off the number one position, so the United States has always wanted to make a big news, and it is best to have something related to aerospace to save some face.

By the way, it will give the people in the country some confidence and allow them to be quieter and stop coming to the government to make trouble.

So many experts gathered at the American Space Agency to discuss how to make a big news, to prove that the United States is still very good, and this is for people around the world to see.

It would be best to also show the results obtained on the initial island, which is for domestic taxpayers to see.

"...I feel that we can also start building our lunar base, which can not only demonstrate our technology, but also actually occupy a lunar territory. Then we can also carry out the refining of helium-3. I believe we will also do it in the future. Used."

"Yes, I also support the moon base plan. Didn't I say that the progress at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is going very smoothly? It should be successful in a few years, and we should establish our sphere of influence on the moon as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you arrive late, there may not be any good places left.”

"There are indeed many benefits to establishing a lunar base, but this is not in line with our original purpose. What we urgently need now is a major space event that shocks the world. The establishment of a lunar base cannot be done quickly no matter how fast we build it. After passing the Arc Light Group, the most important thing is that we are not the first, so this incident is not shocking enough."

"Well, I think so too. We don't have to consider the space missions that the Arc Light Group has already done. First, they have already occupied the first place. No matter what we do, we will only be in second place. And we have no confidence at all. The second place did better, which may have a negative effect and give people the feeling that even plagiarism is not good.”

"What should we do? Are we going to land on Venus? But it is too difficult to land on it. Its surface temperature is generally above 460°C, and can even soar to 500°C. And the air pressure on its surface is 90 times that of the earth. It is equivalent to the water pressure at 900 meters in the deep sea of ​​the Earth. In addition, the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere of Venus is more than 96%. The sulfides brought by volcanic eruptions permeate the entire surface space of Venus. It is estimated that the landing equipment will be severely corroded by sulfuric acid rain. , this is very dangerous..."

For a time, many suggestions put forward by everyone were rejected.

Because it is very difficult to do something that is more shocking than what the other party does when you are technically unable to defeat the other party.

Until a person from the space agency made a suggestion, "I feel like we can carry out a mission that we have been preparing to carry out before."

As soon as everyone saw that the person who said this was Victor, the deputy technical director of the space agency, they all fell silent and waited for his next words.

Seeing that everyone was quiet and looking at him, Victor did not hide anything and said directly, "The space agency had a plan to mine near-Earth asteroids before, but because the technology was not enough at the beginning, it was abandoned. "

"Now due to the development of the initial island, our space agency already has this technology. Although it is still relatively rudimentary and more troublesome to use, I think it should be very suitable for use in this place."

"The most important thing is that the Arclight Group has not yet conducted a near-Earth asteroid mining mission. It just blew up a very small asteroid before."

"So no matter what we do, we're No. 1."
