Chapter 1618

"Port of Mars, where the star river dream begins What's that? What fancy things are the people of this town hall doing? "

Gong Tiantian, who was sitting at his desk, muttered in a low voice. His index finger crossed the holographic screen in front of him and swept the latest issue of Tiangong daily into the dustbin. However, the contents of the newspaper could not be forgotten for a long time.

Where the star river dream begins

It has to be said that for a native Martian, this sentence is quite fascinating.

According to this report, in view of the breakthrough of superluminal technology and the completion of the first phase of space elevator project, the shipping demand on Mars is expanding day by day, and the old space facilities are not enough to meet the needs of people, so the city hall has issued a new development plan for the Mars port.

The plan, announced by new mayor Xiao Hong, will cost the city hall authorities 100 billion credit points to build a larger space port in orbit around Mars.

The port will not only serve as a transit station, but also as a rail residence integrating production and life.

As a Martian who loves his hometown deeply, no one wants to be more prosperous here than before.

Even if most people would say so, compared with the pleasant scenery on earth, the environment on Mars is a little worse, but it is outside the dome of Tiangong city.

For the world inside the dome, it's a paradise that most of the earth people who have never been to space can't imagine at all.

Different from Guanghan City, which has been forgotten for half a century, because of the transfer of heavy and heavy industries and mining industries, the colonies on Mars have been developed by generations of colonists, which is different from the scientific research station of more than ten people.

Because of the needs of real life, people living here are constantly improving the living facilities of the colony, so as to expand the living space, so that the bricks and tiles here are converging with the crystallization of science and technology. It's no exaggeration to say that even if a piece of tile is buckled from the ground, the top wisdom of the whole human civilization is gathered in it.

Gong Tiantian is a native Martian. Although he heard that there are vast forests and oceans upstream of the earth and countless ancient wonders, he did not yearn for them.

As a descendant of the early colonists, as a citizen of laotiangong, he has always been very proud of his identity.

They are the descendants of explorers, and his enterprise is the spaceship component factory that produces parts for explorers.

In addition to being proud of being a Martian, the port of Mars described in this news article has shown him a huge business opportunity.

The only thing that worried him was that the mayor's style of speaking and doing things didn't seem to be very reliable.

Can this Mars harbor really be built in his term of office?

There is some doubt in Gong Tiantian's mind.

As usual, after reading the morning news, he opened the holographic intelligent office system on his desk and began to deal with today's work with the help of business AI.

Just as he was about to sign a document, his AI assistant drifted out of his desk.

"Boss, a visitor outside wants to visit you."

Visitors?

Who will be this morning?

With such an idea in mind, Gong said casually.

"Let him in."

The hologram suspended at the desk disappeared, and the office door opened quickly.

Soon, a man in a suit came in with a steady step.

"Hello, Dear Chairman Gong, I'm the manager of Nanmen second colonial exploration foundation. Here is my card."

Nanmen second colonial exploration foundation?

Hearing the name, Gong could not help frowning, and his first impression of the man in front of him was a little bit different.

The reason is simple.

In his view, these funds targeting extrasolar systems are basically a big Ponzi scheme, which swindles credit points from ordinary people through a beautiful land certificate card and a beautiful and unrealistic lie and empty check.

Of course, this is not the most hateful.

These tricksters who are good at demagogues are usually misers who are used to carrying white wolves with their bare hands. They are the most talkative when they talk about business, and they always talk about him when they want to sign a contract.

Gong Tiantian has met many people who run similar fund companies, hoping to achieve "strategic cooperation" with his factory through the exchange of equity or "waste paper", even throwing out the bait to help him go public on the earth.

However, he always sneers at these ridiculous proposals.

Want to buy his factory or his production parts can, but please take out the real gold and silver. As for the rest, he didn't want to say a word except for a rolling word.

"Mr. Gladstone?"

After a look at the business card hologram in his hand, Gong Tiantian dragged it into the address book, and then cast a glance at the man in front of him, "welcome to our company I heard from my secretary that you have business plans to talk to me? Can you tell me the specific business? "At the time of saying this, he has unconsciously drifted his eyes to the clock in the corner of vision.

He had made up his mind to take the shortest time to get the guy out of his office when he showed the same intention as the swindlers.

However, the first words that Mr. Gladstone said were beyond Gong's expectation.

"I want to build a boat."

"Shipbuilding?" Looking at the man in suit for a moment, Gong Tiantian frowned slightly and continued, "are you in the wrong place? We don't produce starships, we only produce - "

" are the Starship accessories right? " He took a black card out of his arms. The man in suit gently handed it to Gong Tiantian. "Usually, we will contact the shipyard directly, but our needs are quite special Do you think this thing can be made? "

"Let me see."

After taking over the black painted memory card, Gong Tiantian's face showed a serious look and stretched out his finger to click on it.

Soon, the light blue hologram was projected in front of him.

when he saw the parameters on the drawing, the eyebrows suddenly jerk down, and make complaints about the Tucao.

"Five kilometer long keel Are you going to build an aircraft carrier? "

Although he is not a professional engineer, he has worked in this field for so many years. Even if he didn't cook a dish, he has seen what pork looks like.

He also heard for the first time that a civil starship needs such a long keel.

Gladstone smiled and continued in a very low voice.

"You just need to answer if you can make it. If you can, I'll place an order now. If you can't, I'll go somewhere else."

Hearing this, Gong Tiantian raised his chin slightly, and his face was proud.

"As long as there are drawings and materials, there is nothing we can't make! But the scale of this kind of thing is a little large. The cost of storage and labor are not cheap. If you default, we can only sell it as scrap iron So the deposit may be more expensive. You may have to pay 50% of the total price. "

"No problem."

To Gong Tiantian's surprise, the foreign guy with a hooked nose didn't even have the intention to bargain. He agreed so readily.

"Where is the contract? As long as you make sure that the order can be completed within the stipulated time, I can pay the deposit now. "

Leng Leng's looking at him, Gong Tiantian swallowed saliva, stretched out trembling index finger on the desk and lightly clicked.

"The contract will be ready soon You, please wait a moment. "

After taking over the electronic contract, the foreigner just glanced at it, then put his name on the note and paid a deposit of 5 billion credit points.

It's like this is not a business worth 10 billion yuan, but a package of cigarettes from the supermarket downstairs.

Looking at the 10 billion credit point order in his hand, Gong Tiantian felt that his hands were shaking and his whole body was full of untrue feelings.

It wasn't until he pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming that he came back from his dull expression.

"Crazy..."

Seeing that the door of the office had been closed before him, he swallowed his saliva and held back his beating heart for a long time.

That's how 10 billion orders are made

The world is crazy, too.
