Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Freen's idea was really simple: to use his connections to find a group of interested investors, to mimic the Skylark Five Extraterrestrial Galaxy Colonial Foundation of the Ark, to set up a similar fund.

However, the difference is that he would place the subject outside of Skylark Five, preferably closer to the solar system.

Moreover, the Fund will be made publicly available.

But it is precisely because the idea is too easy to think of.

When he came to the largest commercial bank on Wall Street with the materials, ready to go through the formalities, he was surprised to find that the lobby was already in a long line.

And from the way they dress and dress, it's obvious they're not here to collect money...

And don't worry about the long line of commercial banks on Wall Street, as Flynn had a hunch, the world was shocked by this unexpected news on the day this Skylark 5 alien colonial fund landed on the Wall Street Strip!

“This could open up a whole new business model! ”

In an interview with ABC TV's finance section, renowned Nobel laureate in economics, Paul Krugman, said in an exciting tone.

“In the past, most of our investment activities were conducted on a year-by-year basis, and trust products, excluding estate tax avoidance, seldom planned for returns of more than a hundred years, even if they were considered long-term returns. ”

“In the short term, focusing investment on space is not really an advisable option, or even a modest profit, compared to other hotspot projects of investment value. But if we look to the future of a century, even centuries from now, the short-term unprofitable space industry is in fact inextricably linked to our future, and that funding will help our space industry get on track faster. ”

The moderator asked seriously: "So, is this actually a public good? ”

“Not entirely,” Paul Krugman shook his head, "is, to be precise, a long-term investment with a public good attribute from which all humanity will benefit as a result of his generosity today. ”

“When more social resources are concentrated on the development of outer space resources, we will move faster into the gates of the interstellar age. ”

“At the same time, while the investment, while marginal or even unprofitable in the short run, could bring him tremendous returns in the future - and there is no doubt about that. ”

Moderator: "But... can anyone live that long? ”

“This is indeed a problem," Paul Krugman nodded, "but he could designate his descendants as beneficiaries. ”

“If hyperspace theory makes hypervelocity navigation possible, we have every reason to believe that a colonial new world is achievable in the future, a century later. ”

“I even have an idea that this plan can actually be combined with the Frozen Sleep program. After all, normal people may not live that long, but if they really want to be involved in the cause of interplanetary colonization...”

“Donating property to the space industry in exchange for a ‘boat ticket' a century later and freezing yourself to sleep until then may also be a good option for the average person. ”

In fact, it wasn't just Paul Krugman who took that into account.

Investors, including Fryan, who had already lined up in a bank on Wall Street, obviously thought of that earlier.

Almost the morning after the news appeared, a number of commercial banks in the United States issued similar alien colonial funds.

These funds have convergence ideas - or propaganda ideas that are almost identical - about choosing a beautiful, not too distant, potentially livable galaxy as their destination and propaganda poster cover and telling stories around this beautiful planet that consumers want for the future.

But interestingly, perhaps some companies really intend to launch a colonial ship in the future.

Consequently, given the overstrengths of the competitors, most of these funds bypass Skylark 5 chosen by the Ark, and instead opt for other K-type main prelude stars such as South Gate II (4.24 light-years from the Solar System), or Tianyuan IV (10.7 light-years from the Solar System), which are relatively close in distance.

For these planets, the prices offered by the funds are varied and even entertaining.

For example, a colonial fund that placed its subject on Neighbourhood Star had a promotional slogan that, for only $10, it would be able to obtain a residence permit for a Neighbourhood Star colony and an "economy class ticket” to Neighbourhood Star, and pay an additional $1,000 to enjoy first-class seating and bring one more person aboard.

At the same time, tickets increase at a rate of 5 per cent per annum, which means $10.5 per economy class per annum, or $1315.01 a hundred years later.

Of course, once a ticket is sold, it will not be refunded, but it can be traded through a second-hand market to other interested parties, just like those companies that sold shelter tickets before 2012.

There are also funds that use land as leverage, such as a single square kilometre of land in a colony for every additional $100 paid in addition to a boat ticket to the New World, whether you want to build a house or grow crops on it.

Of course, all of this, however “tempting” the conditions may be, is something that can only be fulfilled a hundred years later. Moreover, there are a number of risks of being “competitors first”, “poor business bankruptcy" and “future policy changes”, all of which could turn the voucher in their hands into a piece of scrap paper.

So even a more serious, more serious space colonization fund, even with NASA or Space-X as collateral, is hard for investors to take seriously.

However, perhaps even a number of issuers did not expect these seemingly unreliable funds to be surprisingly popular after their release.

While it is almost impossible for the vast majority of people not to live through frozen dormancy until the Star Age after a century or two, does it not seem too much to pay $100 to buy a beautifully crafted alien citizenship card and a land title certificate over a neighboring star?

Though not expected to live until a hundred years later and have the opportunity to step onto their own land, these hundreds of dollars are still quite a bargain for those who are not poor.

There are, of course, some more serious people who will look closely at and identify which funds are really being laid out for an alien colonization plan a hundred years later, and which funds are purely entertaining the masses.

For example, an old Texas farmer named Joseph spent $1 million filming 10,000 square kilometers of land off a neighboring star and giving it to his younger grandson, who had just turned six, as a birthday present.

The incident provoked a huge local sensation, even attracting journalists from the next city.

In an interview with a journalist, the old farmer was quite happy to be on TV with his own farm and said with joy to the journalist's microphone.

“This is a long-term investment, and I intend to give these lands to my grandchildren and pass them on as heirlooms! ”

Reporter: "Aren't you worried that the money won't be cashed in the future? ”

“This is a small probability event, I chose Citibank as my fund issuer, and I have studied their investment plans carefully. Their strength, though not the strongest, seems to me to be the most promising way to make it to the finish line! ”

Journalist: "What are you going to do with this 10,000 square kilometer of land? ”

“Is that a question? Grounds, of course! This is 10,000 square kilometres of permanent property land, and my descendants will be the richest farmers on the planet, haha, they will thank my ancestors! ”

Looking at Mr. Joseph's cool smile on his face, the reporter smiled a little embarrassed and couldn't help but continue to ask: "But how do you know that the soil and climate on the neighbouring planet are suitable for cultivation? ”

“I don't know, but my instincts tell me that it's not going to be harder than going beyond the speed of light. ”

He shrugged his shoulders, and Joseph's face looked confident, even a little blind.

Faced with the camera of the interview, he continued.

“Whether you go to an extraterrestrial planet or not, people have to eat up. ”

“I believe that as long as one day in the future we have the conditions to go that far, scientists who study seeds will always find a way to solve these problems, not to grow corn and potatoes, but to plant local specialities! ”
