In the 30th year of the imperial calendar, it has been 12 years since Zhang Wenliang ascended the throne. The empire has also entered a period of indescribable prosperity. The population has reached 1.2 billion, and the society is prosperous and stronger.
This spring, the empire's fortieth city was completed. Venus now has 40 large cities, with a maximum population of 40 million in each city and a minimum of more than 20 million. Unlike Earth, almost all people on Venus live in or around cities. Of course, there are also some people who choose to live in slightly remote areas, and that is just personal taste.
More than a dozen maglev tracks intersect in every city, forming a network of these cities; highways, large and small, connect the cities together. In the sky, 300-meter flying saucers are no longer the standard; as the empire entered a period of rapid construction and development three years ago, with the start of a series of high-energy physics research institutions, and with the planning of spacecrafts with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, The empire began a series of upgrades and made great strides towards interstellar civilization.
A huge long shadow slowly passed over the city, but people had become accustomed to it. That's a huge flying saucer projection!
Yang Qinyun raised his head and saw a strange-shaped aircraft with a length of 800 meters and a width of 300 meters. Below it were two rows of 10 anti-gravity engines with light blue electric lights flashing. Advanced technology allows flying saucers to easily send millions of tons of objects into space.
"When I first came to Venus, I saw such a monster. I think we have seen an overview of the earth in the next hundred years!" An accompanying earth businessman was filled with emotion. In fact, what is it to see the earth's future for a hundred years - in other words, the earth is now a hundred years behind the development of Venus!
Yang Qinyun also frowned and said nothing. Since the last time I purchased 3% of the original shares of the Civilian Mecha Company, I have returned to Earth and begun to concentrate on the transformation to space technology. Relying on the family's huge heritage and the purchased spaceship to run business, it can be regarded as one of the top ranks on the earth today. However, because a large amount of funds were allocated to mecha research, Yang Qinyun wanted to develop something else. There are also some limitations. Just a few days ago, Yang Qinyun received a notice that a breakthrough had been made in mecha research, and the first batch of civilian mechas had rolled off the production line. Just wait for the shareholders to arrive, cut the ribbon and start sales!
It can be seen from the data that the first generation of civilian mechas were mainly focused on construction machinery. These mechas were basically not human-like in shape. Except for a head shape stamped on the outside of the cockpit, the rest were Various mechanical structures. The big ones are tens of meters high, and the small ones are four or five meters high; but all of them are almost upgraded and transformed from the original construction machinery. However, its essence is completely different!
Of the first batch of 200 mechas, 100 have already been positioned as high-end before they even come off the production line. Acquired by the Empire, the price is based on the published sales price. This is an absolute surprise; the empire's standards are so strict, especially the military industry standards, that it is unimaginable for ordinary people - zero error requirement!
Such a request seems nonsense to the current earth... The light itself is also distorted! But now Venus has really reached the zero error standard of military industry! It is said. The illumination propulsion of space probes that have been launched can ensure accurate and error-free propulsion beyond the solar system!
And after four years of development, this country has become even more incredible! Without the pressure of life, every citizen of the empire is striving for their dreams! Under this positive spirit, the empire's technology also developed rapidly. In just four years, the foundation of interstellar civilization has been initially laid - at least. The official news from the empire says this!
The mecha's ribbon-cutting ceremony was so popular that Emperor Zhang Wenliang even came out to celebrate in person. At the same time, he said that the upgrading of the whole society should be promoted as soon as possible; mecha technology and concepts, mainly concepts, will definitely push society into a new stage of development!
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, as shareholders. Yang Qinyun truly felt the convenience of the mecha concept! In the past, the control of construction machinery was very complicated and required special training. But now, as a layman, I just need to go up and connect to the cabin and adapt to my new body. You can easily accomplish many things - except for the different appearance, after the nerves and electronic components are linked, there is no essential difference from the body directly controlled by the brain! You can even control these crude mechas to dance! Of course, whether it looks good or not is another matter!
After trying the excavator bucket, you can even feel the moisture, roughness, viscosity, hardness, etc. of the soil through the sensors integrated in the bucket, and even the distribution of stone particles.
It can be said that with this baby, not only the efficiency is much higher, but also there is no need to spend huge costs and several years to train those technical people-as long as a primary school student gets on the mecha, he can start it, and Doing complex work – it’s no different than taking control of your own body!
And the price of such a comfortable, high-tech machine is as low as 100,000 yuan! Even though the current purchasing power of money is very high, one hundred thousand yuan is still too low... But for Venus, after some key technological breakthroughs, the cost has dropped significantly.
In addition, the empire responded this way: Life needs a goal, and our goal should not be money, which is something external to the body after all; our goal should be the stars and the future!
In less than 40 years, Venus will usher in the first interstellar immigration in human history. At that time, you all have the opportunity to sign up and build your own kingdom in the universe!
Likewise, for the empire, it should also focus on the future. Therefore, in order to promote social progress, mecha technology will be promoted on Venus at a low price. The empire will only retain a small profit to ensure the normal operation of the factory.
Of course, for the citizens of Earth who come to invest, mechas can’t make money on Venus, but that doesn’t mean they can’t on Earth! You can transport them back to Earth and sell them! Today, the monetary value of the Earth and Venus is the same, so it is completely possible to do this, and Venus on the Earth will not interfere - of course it cannot interfere! Anyway, outside the scope of Venus, you can set the price as you like. As long as it can be sold, the empire will not care.
After listening to Zhang Wenliang's explanation, several earth businessmen around Yang Qinyun cheered happily; however, Yang Qinyun frowned and sighed! If we continue like this, the earth will never catch up with Venus! When you focus on immediate profits. But gave up long-term profits!
Look at Venus. Over the years, it has never paid special attention to profits; but now it has developed and found that the profits and wealth of society are increasing rapidly! When Earth's food still needs to be imported from Venus, a large amount of Venus' food is still dumped into the ocean every year. someone said. What to do if you can’t eat enough and plant so much? And Venus's answer is simple: confidence and order. As long as there is sufficient food, people will not have to worry about their lives and vendors will not be able to raise prices! Not to mention, a large amount of food was poured into the ocean, causing the marine ecology of Venus to rise sharply, further improving the environment of Venus.
While the earth is still working on magnetic engine technology, the flying saucers on Venus have reached the third generation and are flying all over the sky. While people on earth are focusing on the wealth in front of them, Venus is already preparing for space immigration in 40 years! While the Earth is struggling to buy a house and a car - the citizens of the Empire are already thinking about building their own space empire! Buy a spaceship! Build a spaceship!
The gap always widens inadvertently, and it is already a huge chasm when you look back! However, Venus’s attitude is now very clear: we don’t need immigrants anymore!
On the way back to the hotel. Yang Qinyun saw the Imperial students after school. The primary school students were holding various models of spaceships, flying saucers, starry sky buildings, etc., constantly comparing and arguing with each other! The nouns that open and close one's mouth make even an adult like me feel ashamed. What thrust delay, low distortion of space, light propagation without loss, space communication concept...
Sometimes, the difference lies in these little things. And this age group. The earth is still learning: follow the country and build a better tomorrow together!
In fact, only with this kind of education and development on Venus can we have a better tomorrow! No, Venus will definitely have a beautiful tomorrow! A vast and endless stage!
While Yang Qinyun was sentimental, in space, the empire was undergoing major construction!
A ring with a diameter of 100 kilometers is under construction. This is a particle collider being planned. This particle collider will be built directly in space; the gravity-free environment in space will be used to achieve the integration of multiple particle colliders, saving the empire a huge amount of wealth. Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction when he saw that the support frame had been completed and the high-energy physics-space laboratory had begun to enter the core construction stage. To be honest, I didn't think of it either. The empire, which has already been somewhat restricted by the starry sky cannon and space probe, can actually spend 100 billion yuan of imperial coins to support the construction of these treasures. At first, there was some surprise, and then there was nervousness - was the empire secretly printing money? But in the end, I was relieved when I learned that it was the support of the entire aristocracy. But as a scientist. Chen Feng is naturally self-aware, and of course he will not build his own empire; he lives a good life here, is cultivating, and has plenty of food, drink and shelter. He will definitely not foolishly spend 40 years in solitude. of space exploration. Therefore, Chen Feng was very stingy and did not take out the money - instead he continued to collect wages!
However, while supervising the construction, I saw the electric light of the starry sky cannon in the distance. It is said that those bastards were really having fun during this period! First, there are a total of 120 cosmic detectors; then - attack Io, Io! The reason is simple - mining! It was too difficult to dig even a little bit, so the Empire simply smashed the hapless moon into pieces. In the other direction of space, 200-kilogram projectiles are hitting Io one after another. The projectiles from about 1 billion kilometers away travel at 0.1 times the speed of light and continue to hit this poor satellite after traveling for seven and a half hours. . Io in space was beaten to pieces and has now disintegrated, and 90% of the fragments were captured and then transported back to Venus to satisfy the construction of the spacecraft!
(The plot has been a bit fast recently, and a lot of time has been lost in the previous part. Some readers are anxious and have to quickly transition to cosmic civilization.)
