Chapter 543: Supporting the Future (Part 2)
Manufacturing is the industrial base, followed by the medical service industry, and the technological content here is also at a relatively high level.
International Gene Cooperation Company has two basic medical products: artificial blood based on lizard serum and immunosuppressant based on genetically modified lizard biliverdin.
The two belong to the same production line. The former is the largest demander. It is conservatively estimated that the annual global demand is one billion liters. If it is supplied to 50% of people every year, it will be sold per liter after an average ratio with immunosuppressants. About 200 US dollars, total sales reached 100 billion US dollars.
Then comes the medical product market. First of all, medical prostheses are provided to disabled and physically deficient patients, so that they have the same working ability as normal people. About 30 million people around the world need to use prostheses. , if 20% of people use prostheses every year, the average cost of prostheses is US$3,000, resulting in a total market of US$18 billion.
Next is the artificial skin market, which is aimed at patients with skin diseases who have been injured due to accidents, accidents and official duties, or who are born with defects and diseases. Considering only such situations, it is estimated that 10 million people around the world need such products, assuming that 50% of people use them every year Artificial skin, with an average cost of US$2,000 per person, is a total market of 10 billion. The beauty and skin plastic surgery market is not a potential market that Lille is concerned about, but it is foreseeable that this market is not small.
Finally, there are implantable auxiliary treatment methods and equipment for mental illness supporting brain-computer interfaces, which are aimed at patients with mild mental illness and can reduce anxiety, depression and other symptoms, as well as patients with cognitive decline, and significantly reduce the symptoms of patients such as the elderly. How quickly incurable diseases like dementia worsen.
To be honest, there are almost no people in this society who don’t feel tired and anxious occasionally. The market for mild mental illness is extremely broad. If the scope of mental illness is slightly modified, this market may reach 300 million people worldwide. of patients with potentially varying degrees of mental illness.
Assuming that 5% of patients with mental illness use BCI every year, and 10% of patients with cognitive decline use BCI, that is a market of 20 million people, with each device costing US$2,000 and medical services US$1,000. That's $60 billion.
In other words, if these technologies are applied to the pure medical field, it will be a market of 188 billion US dollars. According to the calculation method of one employee for every 10 million sales, there will be more than 180,000 more employees. employees.
In contrast, if we calculate that every 500 patients require one doctor or nurse, there are more than 120,000 medical workers.
It is estimated that 1.2 million people will be affected if each person supports a family of 4, and it will also improve the quality of life of countless patients and bring more and better-quality labor.
The core aspects of production, such as artificial muscles for second-generation prostheses, cloning organ cultivation for blood production, etc., will be controlled by International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd., but distribution, logistics and end applications can all be controlled by International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd. These were originally done by medical giants.
This is not a small market, just a little sweetness is enough to make them crazy about it.
Roxon is definitely hungry for this market, but unfortunately he can't squeeze in. Human transgenic technology has only been perfected at the International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd., and the number of employees under him is getting smaller day by day. Even the official government, We will also weigh the city's labor payment level. Homeless people cannot afford medical insurance. Now everyone is afraid that their city will explode.
Rich employees mean high taxes. In order to attract Atlas Group employees, cities like Detroit or New York are of course willing to use Bloom's ctOS urban construction solution, and the taxes are once again turned into project funds. The accounts of Lum Company were turned into medical insurance funds and entered the accounts of International Gene Cooperation Company, and the money for purchasing vehicles and other electronic products flowed back to the company again
For society, money stays in a certain place The key is liquidity risk. When this thing flows through everyone's hands smoothly and efficiently, the world will change rapidly.
Based on preliminary calculations, nearly three million people in these two groups alone will have jobs and stable lives. The resulting employment in the service industry and light industry will be countless. It can almost be said that once the rollout is completed, , in two or three years, the jobs of tens of millions of people will be closely related to Atlas.
The jobs or lives of tens of millions of people are directly related to Atlas, which means that the whole world must listen to every public speech of Lear, even if it is just a whisper.
As for Atlas’s future market value?
There will indeed be speculators who want to make a simple estimate and get some shocking results: even if less than 10% of the stocks are circulating on the market, Atlas's market value is approaching 100 billion.
If they are all listed, it may become the second company in human history to have a market value of over one trillion, maybe in 2010.
But some smart people know: they sometimes estimate the market value of economic entities like the United States, but that is just Tu Yile.
Those who have no money want money, and those who have money want other things. The situations of Roxon and Atlas cannot be judged by history.
Everyone in the venue was obsessed with the business solutions provided by Lille. To be honest, the technology displayed by the holographic projection and even the future displayed in the new future area are exciting, especially in this unpredictable world. In this era, no matter how large things once were, they seem to be crumbling in the economic recession.
But when Lille's vision expands from details to macro, from one amazing technology after another to an advanced city, a desirable lifestyle, and a fascinating future, they will also worry about it. Focus on the fundamental issues:
Energy and resources.
This is also a worry for all partners. Resources are easy to say. Africa is a rich land. However, investors do not like redeveloped land. If something goes wrong with the high-risk and large investment in the early stage, it is easy to Let them fall behind in the competition and disappear completely.
They prefer gain to risk, but Atlas has demonstrated their resistance to risk by assisting the African Union in sinking a rival aircraft carrier.
Now is the time to show preliminary results.
New York is the world's financial center, and its resources come from the global market, but Kilimanjaro is not. The African Union is the political entity that the country has ordered to implement a gradual blockade.
The New Future District is like a model house, but the strength of the developer.
Lier walked to the center of the exhibition, and the guests wearing head-mounted displays suddenly realized that everything around them was different. It has changed and turned into the Zhuyacheng that has been widely publicized on the Internet - a group of uncivilized wild men, unemployed workers, students and researchers in ivory towers, and ambitious management crowded into the most primitive place in the world. places to develop imaginary treasures.
To be honest, before actually seeing it, they all thought it was a false promotional video made with some advanced video editing technology, just like the ads they liked to shoot before the advertising law was introduced. .
But now they are beginning to face it: Atlas has the ability to develop Africa, and the African Union has the ability to ensure stability.
When the holographic scene was written, they saw a larger and more perfect future city, they saw pollution-free electric vehicles speeding on the road, and they saw wind turbines all over the mountains and plains. and photovoltaic panels, what you see are ultra-large-scale power grids and network facilities arranged on the plains, and what you see is
civilization.
New York was once the center of the world. When it built towering skyscrapers one after another, fashionable cars ran on the streets one after another, and new lifestyles appeared here one after another. At that time, some places were still burning in the flames of war. The hungry people could swallow the flesh and blood of their own kind, but the cruel nature fell on their knees in front of the indifferent emperor. It was pitiful, pitiful and hateful.
But now it is old, and it has always stopped in the period of rapid development due to greedy eating. Even though Atlas has done a lot, there are still disharmonious old things that occasionally appear there. On the street:
The Manhattan opposite the New Future District used to look like a wealthy and wealthy man, but now it feels like a poor old man who can't let go of the past. He brags about how glorious his past was all day long, standing coquettishly under the afterglow of Atlas. Pretend to be decent.
The United States now is the same place it once was. The disputes may not have escalated to that tragic level, but the constant pressure exerted by Roxon and the financial crisis has left everyone breathless.
“Africa has everything we need, including copper, cobalt, iron, and bauxite, endless wild fruits and grains, strong winds, rushing water, and warm sun. , there are even enough petrochemical raw materials to support industrial production.”
The proven mineral resources and detailed data have appeared in front of people, but Lille knows that these are no longer important.
No matter how profit-seeking the people here are, the people who can appear here are the most motivated ones, and they are the ones who finally won here in countless competitions.
Such people will not refuse an offer, an opportunity to put aside disputes, put aside oppression, put aside helplessness, and go to a rich and stable new world to create a future.
These scenes are not just for the people present, but also what Lille wants to say to the world.
This kind of proposal is not only impossible for everyone present to refuse, but actually everyone cannot refuse it.
The President has something to say, and so does Atlas, and it must be broader and farther.
[Little Octopus: Brother, our attention exceeds that of the President and the United Nations. 】
Lille nodded silently and continued his final speech:
“But we know that this is just a city. I believe you will question, can wind, water and sunshine really support such a large energy consumption?
The answer is, it is indeed not enough, so Atlas has its own nuclear technology. I believe you have all seen it -
A controlled nuclear fission technology that far exceeds other fission technologies. Environmentally friendly and efficient.
But ladies and gentlemen, and kids, we know that the wind, the water, and the sunlight that heats the photovoltaic panels all come from something that produces more energy than the fission of heavy elements. , more durable.”
The sun overhead.
The best way to draw a cake is when everyone believes what you said before.
The picture shifts from the vastness of Africa to the sky, to the only thing that exists in the sky.
"The Sun." Lille turned to look at the sun like them, "We will soon be able to hold the stars in our hands, and there will be more new worlds waiting for us to develop by then.
< br>But first, we have to make one thing clear: the earth is not so poor that we have to kill each other to ensure survival.
The Titan (Atlas) will support your future. ”
