Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 1652: Star Gate Shine
On the first day of May, the tranquillity of Tiangong City was broken by an explosion of news.
Starscream announced the acquisition of the Renaissance Mining Company, which, while merging the management of the other party, will restructure and integrate the company's original mining and scrap alloy smelting operations.
After this adjustment, it will be renamed Renaissance Mining Company, a subsidiary of Star Sky Technology, and its main business will be the development of extraterrestrial resources and interstellar trade.
Meanwhile, the Noah Ark will also be renamed the Galaxy, and the route will be changed from the planned South Gate II to Skylark V, 10 light-years away, from Renaissance Fargo.
When I heard the news, a lot of people went crazy.
Especially those who had purchased corporate bonds from the South Gate II Colonial Exploration Group and sold leeks in the final bitter meat cut.
Although the name of the Noah Ark project has changed, the contracts tied to the ship still have legal effect.
In other words, as long as the colonial ship arrives successfully and the colonial compartment is successfully deployed on the surface of the planet, whether to Tiankuo V or South Gate II, all investors holding these special claims will earn a substantial return on their profits, which will be secured by colonial land and other fixed assets.
There is only one risk, and that is that the ship is not finished, or that it has not reached a livable world outside the solar system in their lifetime.
Now, however, that risk has undoubtedly been reduced to almost negligible levels.
There's no other reason.
The person who took over the project was the Ark - the man known as the Peak of Human Mind!
Almost no one would suspect that he was smarter than anyone else, that he would buy a pile of useless broken copper iron, and even less that he was incapable of doing this magnificent work.
But then again, for those leeks that have been uprooted, there's actually nothing we can do about it.
After all, who would have thought that after they sold the corporate bonds in their hands, the Renaissance Mining Corporation sold itself to Startech without saying a word?
Especially this starry technology, which makes countless people spit blood.
For the vast majority of people of this era, this brand that occasionally appears in history textbooks has long been swept into the tomb of history, so why does it come out again at this time to brush its presence?
In the face of such a result, it is unacceptable to the vast majority of people.
However, whether accepted or not, reality is already before them.
If the reasons for their earlier troubles are still valid, it can only be unreasonable now. After all, no one forced them to sell the corporate bonds in their hands, and Startech had no obligation to disclose such matters in advance.
If one day all the information in this world were to be open and transparent to all equally, then there would be no such thing as leeks...
As for the lucky ones who didn't sell their corporate bonds, they were in the mood to experience the feeling of going from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven, like riding a roller coaster.
And those who still have the ticket to the Noah Ark.
Whether it's speculators or real plans to travel to a world beyond a few light-years, they're almost ready to collect these scrap paper pieces as souvenirs, but didn't expect a turnaround.
Startech not only still recognizes these tickets, but also opens the ticket refund route, allowing those who change their mind to refund them at the original issue price of the ticket at the time.
However, there was no refund at all.
Almost as soon as this information was released, the prices of second-hand tickets were fired to the sky.
The Ark boat was also later informed by Professor Wu Qinglai that, at the craziest time, the ticket had been fired to 100,000 credit points and was priceless...
“Anything visible or invisible, once labeled with financial attributes, is no longer who it was,” said Jongziyu, looking at the canoe sitting on the couch in the office of the Mars branch of the Bank of Asia, gently turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, with a happy expression, "I suggest you release another batch of tickets at twice or even triple the price when you issue tickets to the South Gate II Colonial Exploration Fund. ”
Ark: “But there's no more room on board. ”
“There's a word called over-the-sale, and if you know the aviation industry, every airline will release more tickets than seats. After all, not everyone can catch the flight in the end, and someone has temporarily given up because of all sorts of things,” Zhong Ziyong laughed and continued, “Of course, I'm just suggesting that the choice lies with you. ”
“I don't need that much money at this stage," the Ark shook its head, "I will seriously consider your suggestion if I need money later. ”
“It's not a matter of lack of money… Wait," Standing up from the office chair, looking at the ark on the couch, suddenly realizing what kind of president Zhong showed a surprise look on his face, "Are you really going to use your own money to build this ship? ”
The ark looked silent and asked, "Why not? Have I borrowed money from you? ”
“Not at all... sorry, I was just a little surprised,” some awkward laughter, Zhong Ziyu coughed softly and put his face right again, “I heard from where you were going to go to Skylark Five before... is that true? ”
“Yes.”
After staring at the ark for a while, Zhong Ziyu's face appeared with such a look and sat back in the office chair with a bitter smile.
“No wonder... in that case, money doesn't mean much to you. ”
When he heard this, the ark smiled slightly and said in a casual tone, "You can't say it doesn't make any sense, but it's not attractive. It's true. ”
“Actually, I don't understand a bit. ”
“Don't understand anything. ”
“If it were you, it would definitely make the Galaxy more perfect, but why would you leave this matter to Yang Chongping Academician? ”
“Because he was more professional in this matter, and I really didn't have much research into starship design,” said Ark, smiling, thinking for a moment. “Of course, it's not for no other reason. After all, I have more important work to do on my side. ”
Zhongziyu: "Space elevator? ”
The ark shook its head: "It's not just the space elevator, remember what I said about the stargate? ”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Zi's face suddenly showed a slight emotional expression and incredibly looked at the ark.
“Isn't that...”
“Well, that's what I've been working on for a while, except for the warp engine. ”
Gently lowered his head, reaching out his right hand and spreading his palms up.
As a holographic light beam bloomed from the bowl, a circle flashed with a dark blue light floated above his palm.
“The highway between substance and information exchange, as I should have said before. ”
Looking at Governor Zhong, who was completely distracted by this holographic beam, the Ark laughed and continued.
“Whether there is mass material or no mass of photons, when passing through it, it briefly enters the hyperspace channel until it is drilled from the other side of the channel. ”
“And just yesterday, I've finished it. ”
