Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

New York.

The heart of Manhattan Island.

The sun rose on Wall Street as usual, but unlike before, the orderly busyness and tranquillity was broken by a message that surprised everyone.

Some fast food restaurant on the corner.

Most of the staff sitting here eating are nearby. Although it's just an eye-catching shop that spends no more than $10 per capita, for convenience and inexpensive prices, the unidentified little transparency comes here, and the famous wind and cloud figures on the street occasionally show up here.

A position by the window, the two of you in a suit leather shoes, at first glance a white collar working nearby, two ribs, eating breakfast and talking in a surprising and incredible tone.

“Have you heard of it? ”

“… what have you heard? ”

“Tenkura Five! Wall Street Journal headlines! That extraterrestrial planetary colonization fund with a registered capital of 10 billion! God, you missed so much news! ”

What the hell is Tiankura 5?

The man sitting across the street obviously didn't understand the situation, but when he heard 10 billion, he was scared like a reflex of conditions, so that the fork on his hand almost fell off.

“Hiss… ten billion? Colonization of extraterrestrial planets? What's going on?”

“Professor Lu, who made hyperspace theory a while ago, won last year's Nobel Prize in Physics! He registered a 10 billion RMB fund in Shanghai, targeting the ‘Colonial Skylark Five Star System’! The investment strategy focuses on the heavy space-related industrial chain, with the goal of colonizing the outer galaxy within two hundred years and maintaining the initial maintenance expenses of the colony after the success of the colonization plan…"

Talking dry tongue, the white collar smashed his tongue and continued.

“I've never heard of such an ambitious investment plan… setting ‘redemption time' directly in a hundred years' time, and still the highest risk of repositioning the space industry chain. And once someone else gets on that Skylark Five first, or there's no livable planet there, isn't that a waste of effort? ”

Of course, all in vain is an exaggeration, and if the plan of Colonial Skylark V cannot be completed, you can also adjust the strategy after confirming that nothing can be done, change it to a place such as Colonial South Gate II, or make settlement payments directly in the mainstream currency of the time - that is, the liquidation of funds.

Instead of being a fund, it's more like a trust product, paying for it now and designating future beneficiaries. Whoever comes up with this must be a genius. The only thing that's missing in beauty is that this genius is probably crazy...

After listening carefully to his companion sitting opposite him, he could not help but say.

“Privatize a planet? Would anyone admit to something like that? ”

The white collar shook his head, saying.

“Who cares? There's no ZF in that place anyway, and no one's ever been up there! The law of a hundred years from now does not allow space circles to be held temporarily, and it is not a violation under current law alone. After all, it is not publicly available, nor does it involve outreach to non-specific groups, and although the objectives are strange, it merely engages in normal investment activities… regulation should still be more liberal. ”

Besides, Professor Lu is a number one figure in China, and the rules governing ordinary people and businesses do not fully apply to him.

And a hundred years later, this fund is still away...

It depends on the ability of the fund manager.

However, after hearing of the non-public release, the companion sitting opposite him punched the table with his right fist and said with disappointment on his face.

“Unlisted? This solo eater! ”

The white-collar eyebrow picked out, “Why? Are you interested?”

“I'm not interested... what's the point of saying this now? What if I'm interested?” Shaking his head, the companion went on to say, "If it's something that someone else registered for, I can be a fool's day joke early, but this fund is registered by Professor Lu! ”

The white collar said with a smile.

“How do you know that Professor Lu is not kidding? ”

The companion sitting opposite asked.

“Have you seen him joking? ”

“ …… ”

Sitting not far from the neighborhood, listening to the sound of the next table chatting, Freen stood there staring for a while, until the two men in suits resolved the ribs in the plate and left, when he realized that he had finished eating the sandwich in his hand.

The streets have been mixed up for almost 10 years.

Although there's no such thing as a big hall of fame, Freen's kind of met a lot of people.

He had previously heard of funds whose main operations were "exploration of new celestial bodies and trafficking in asteroid naming rights", but for the first time he had heard of funds with registered capital of hundreds of millions of dollars that targeted “colonial development rights of extrasolar planets” and "land ownership rights”.

If that Professor Lu is serious...

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the hyperspace theory that had struck the world some time ago.

Countless media have evaluated it as yet another time-honoured proxy after the relativistic era, and even the high-energy physics professor who was once in Times Weekly Princeton has stood up for this theoretical platform, saying that it has opened the doors of the Star Age in a real sense, offering a possibility for light-year-old voyages.

If that Professor Lu is serious, it's obviously because he discovered something in advance that no one else has found!

A crazy thought popped up in Freen's head, and it was out of order.

He swallowed up the last few leaves on the plate and left the restaurant in a hurry as he dumped a large bill stamped with Franklin on the table and threw a phrase towards the waiter who came to settle the bill, "All that's left is your tip."

He came to the nearby pause at the fastest speed, and he turned around his wallet and finally found a coin from inside and threw it on the table.

“A Wall Street Journal, latest issue! ”

“It's a good time for you to come,” the old man sitting at the paper-stop grinned, removing the last newspaper on the shelf, "the issue of the newspaper sold well, only the last one left. ”

“Thanks.”

After picking up the newspaper, Freen hurried back to the office and spread the newspaper on the table.

There was no need for him to do more searches, and the red star with the question mark in the middle was so generously printed on the headlines of the first edition of the newspaper.

And the text next to it gives a concise description of what the headlines are all about ——

[The Tenkakura Five (Cetaceans τ star) Alien Galaxy Colonial Foundation was registered and the world's first ever billion-dollar astronomical exploration fund was created!

In the news, not only was the registration background of the fund described, but the known parameters of Skylark V were also detailed, as well as the academic debate over how many planets were in the Skylark V star system and whether there might be Earth-like planets in it… but these were not the main points.

Now that the ship has chosen it, it must mean that there are planets like this, or at least not too far off!

After a quick glance at the title, Freen quickly looked at the body.

Then his eyes could not be opened and the brilliant light opened up.

“Shet! What a genius idea. ”

Unlike the two white collars sitting by the window talking about it, besides that amazing courage, he saw an opportunity behind it.

A chance to fill him with pots to earn!

There is no doubt that this news appearing in the headlines of the Chinese Street Journal will cause a huge sensation around the world. And with people's current passion for space, for the future world, there must be a huge amount of money going into the space industry, fuelled by this tide.

Breathing was getting shorter, but soon, Frien's eyes became more alert.

Even what he can think of, he believes others can think of it!

There is no time for hesitation at all!

Aware of this, he quickly stood up from the chair and called his head of department, who took two days off.

Hanging up the phone in a surprising tone from the head of department, he stood up from the chair and hurriedly packed up what was on the table.

He expects only one thing now.

That's how fast you move.

Better be before all the people who want to go with you...
