v10 Chapter 187： Who is Barn Buckies?

Venus, light base.

On the orbit of Venus, a new star port is under construction. Designed by Tony, Hank and Charles, and built by 300 sets of engineering steel warframes for outer space in conjunction with Magneto.

Millions of tons of steel are continuously transported to the orbit of Venus through the capacity of Magneto. In order to prevent the astronomy enthusiasts from observing the sudden appearance of Star Harbor, Dr. Hank also disguised the entire space base.

At the same time, the first Starport Sky City on earth finally started construction under the push of all parties. But the size of Sky City is much smaller than expected.

Tony's original design was a real base capable of accommodating 10,000 people's work and life. In the end, the size of Sky City was reduced to only two thousand people. And there is no way to set up an ecological circle inside this Xinggang.

In fact, the design of the eco-circle is derived from the Venus light base. Developed by Dr. Hank and Professor Charles.

These include genetically modified fruit trees, rice and wheat, and automatic water filtration systems as well as oxygen and fertilizer decomposition systems. The entire system is powered by Ark energy, and can reach a primary ecological cycle.

As long as the Ark energy has electricity, the ecological cycle can be maintained. According to the original design of Sky City, it should be able to allow 10,000 people to work and live, and a single energy supplement will allow Xinggang to last ten years.

If you make your own ark reactor in Xinggang, and send the spacecraft directly to Xinggang to mine the helium-3, the cost will be lower than that from Earth.

The simplest point is that the cost of transporting a solid rocket to break through the atmosphere of a spacecraft is staggeringly high, and it is also one-off.

There is no need to consider these things when taking off and landing spacecraft in Xinggang. There is no atmosphere here for you to break through, and you do not need to accelerate to the third cosmic speed.

Tony even thought of the ore that could be collected directly from Xinggang by airdrop in the future, as long as it is well protected and finally slowed down. Such shipping costs will be greatly reduced.

However, due to various considerations, various countries finally reduced their plans for the entire Sky City. Including Tony's plan for the space elevator and the artificial planetary belt around the earth.

This huge plan is the plan after Xinggang Sky City. It was also proposed for discussion during the internal meeting of the Illumination Society. The specific method is to use the space elevator as the skeleton, and the space elevators extend to the sky one by one. Then use these bones to build a ring of buildings.

The entire circular starport keeps rotating synchronously with the earth. The earth is the central axis, the space elevator is the spokes, and the ring star port is the outer circle. This structure is like a tire for a bicycle.

This is a magnificent project, but in fact, Li Jie and Rogers were not very optimistic at first. Tony's plan is too domineering, and a little taken for granted. Governments of various countries cannot agree to build such a thing.

The Asia-Europe super high-speed rail plan that has been promoted alone has already faced great resistance. If it were not for China and Russia's later entry that eased the pressure of international public opinion, Li Jie worried that relying solely on Latvia's unilateral strength would always cause greater contradictions.

After China and Russia joined the Super High Speed ​​Rail, the traditional influence of these two countries was included in the direction of railway extension. China is willing to provide five trillion yuan in interest-free or low-interest loans to build this super railway.

Of course, this loan has certain conditions. It's like a Latvian loan to Ukraine for a thirty-year railway operation rights.

China's requirements are not so demanding, but it also maintains its operating rights for fifteen to twenty years as collateral. Russia is also working hard, but because Russia itself is not a wealthy country, most domestic funds are controlled by a few oligarchs.

Therefore, the strength of Russia's efforts is not great, but it also shows an attitude. Super high-speed railway is imperative. Captain Rogers and the entrepreneurs around him are also persuading Congress to look forward to the US high-speed rail program. In fact, American railways are really bad. In some places, it was the railway in the 1960s.

And those entrepreneurs and financiers' demands and slogans for laying super-high-speed railways are simple [return to manufacturing]! The slogan of the United States has been shouting for almost ten years, but with little success.

The unemployment rate in traditional manufacturing cities remains high, and once the scenery is infinite, Detroit, known as the world's automobile city, has become a ghost town. The desolate city center can play a real version of "Battle Royale".

And Detroit is just a microcosm of the entire US manufacturing industry. [Improve staff mobility and distribute job opportunities evenly! 】 This is the slogan promoted by the Super High Speed ​​Rail in the United States.

The people in the Illumination Society mobilized all their power to push in this direction. Humanities and social sciences and financiers funded by the Horizon Foundation proposed the concept of [International Manufacturing Cooperation 2.0].

"The company's factories have geographical limitations. If the mobility of people overcomes the geographical limitations, then the possibility of obtaining a work plan will become greater."

In fact, some companies have begun to try to do so. Osborne Group and Stark Group have signed an agreement with the Chinese government.

It just happens that western China is desolate and barren due to the perpetual chaos of the adults, and the development plan for the western region is imperative. And the strength and determination of the promotion are not comparable to the location of Li Jie's previous life.

Stark and Osborne Group are willing to build new heavy machinery processing plants in western China. Some of them recruit Chinese employees, and some recruit engineers and senior technicians from Eastern European countries.

In fact, the traditional heavy industry in the former Soviet Union is still very strong. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, those high-level scientists may be taken away by other countries. But generally good engineers and senior technicians will not. After the factory went bankrupt, many people lost their jobs or went to work in small factories.

This part of the people has a technical level, especially Ukraine. The entire Ukrainian economy is now in turmoil, and even traditional large companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. The wages of engineers are also very low, and working in China can provide a lot of higher wages.

And the main reason why many people have never wanted to go abroad to make a living is that they essentially do not want to live abroad. The super high-speed railway will change all this.

The two groups have signed an intent with the Chinese government to simplify the entry and exit procedures for these recruited foreign employees. So that they can spend 20 minutes on weekends and take the high-speed rail home after working five days in China. In this way, there will not be the loneliness of working abroad.

This makes many people willing to try to go abroad to work. And on the other side. Other businessmen, including China and Russia, also saw huge opportunities.

Because the average wages of Chinese workers have risen year after year, China's manufacturing jobs are also shrinking. Some businessmen smelled the business opportunities, and a lot of job opportunities flowed to South Asian countries, but the average education level of these countries is not as good as that of China, and there are also technical gaps.

Will the super high-speed railway counterparts be able to become a super-large technology outsourcing team to solve the technical problems faced by these countries?

These businessmen are also planning for all this. In an era of global upheaval, no country can monopolize all its benefits. There are gains and losses, only look at how to measure the gains and losses.

Of course, the strangulation of the Hydra industry now promoted by the Illumination Society has begun slowly. As long as the time is up, it's not difficult to hit the net.

And now, Li Jie is inviting the other two members of the Illuminati to come to www.novelhall.com ~ He has important things to say.

"As for closing the door?" Tony asked when he walked into the meeting room and watched Li Jie close the door and locked the dongle.

Rogers just shrugged: "Maybe there is something important to announce? Are you getting married?"

Li Jie pouted: "It's better to get married. Speaking, Tony, you have to find a way to get me another ring."

"I said, I can't do it!" Tony said innocently: "It's harder to remove the ring from Pebble's hand than to go to the sky. You still have to wait."

"What's wrong with your eyes? Looks like there are serious dark circles?" Rogers noticed that Li Jie's eyes were dark.

Li Jie waved his hand: "It's just a bad sleep. Alaska and Satsuma scream at night every day."

Tony raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear that you have a pet dog?"

"That's not the point. I'm not here to talk about this today." Li Jie took a deep breath and looked at Captain Rogers. "The captain has a message I need to tell. You can't be too excited after listening to this news."

Rogers smiled. He sat on the chair and clasped the armrests very well: "Speak, I'm almost safe now."

Li Jie looked at the eyes of Captain Rogers and said: "I found Barn Buckies. He is not dead yet."

Li Jie saw a piece of calm in the eyes of Captain Rogers, and his blue eyes were as calm as the lake. amount? Seems a bit wrong? Li Jie was a little surprised, did the captain no longer care about his good friend?

Just when Li Jie was confused, Captain Rogers asked more confusedly: "Who is Barn Buckies? Do I know him?"
