Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 1965 Outer Space Development

The ancients said: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention." This is almost a more specific and simple interpretation of the Taoist concept of "non-contention."

It’s not that water doesn’t fight, but that it can become the core of everything and is everywhere.

No human being can survive for long in a place without water supply. After all, no matter how perfect and powerful the water purification technology is, it still requires energy and other substances to filter and convert water molecules, and cannot truly achieve zero consumption.

Natural resources are the most precious resources in the solar system, and the trade and shipping centers between the major planets are crucial nodes.

They are not only space tourism centers and distribution centers, but also extremely important military bases or semi-military and semi-civilian bases, so Gu Qing has no intention of giving up these important resources.

Peaceful sharing is peaceful sharing, but the prerequisite is that other people can accompany Jiuzhou Xinghai Company to reclaim the wasteland.

In the political field, regarding the ownership of planets in outer space, as early as more than 60 years ago, a number of major space powers had signed the Outer Space Treaty, which stipulates that when humans explore outer space, they do not have any territorial claims on the planets they explore. The universe is the common wealth of mankind and is not unique to any one country. All countries are equal and share the use of these outer space resources.

In other words, the country with stronger comprehensive national strength and space capabilities can occupy more space resources and territory. However, with the development of science and technology, the utilization of outer space resources has become a goal within reach from paper talk. The Outer Space Treaty has obviously become a piece of waste paper that only appears on the negotiation table and the media table.

Space belongs to all mankind, but Gu Qing knows that once his company is able to develop and successfully operate a space city independent of the Blue Planet, then all agreements signed and cooperation negotiated for space development will undergo dramatic changes.

He has even made plans for the worst. That is, if the situation becomes too stressful, he will split up the space city itself and its major projects, and calculate them into equity in a detailed manner, making the space city a commercial project that can trade and circulate resources between major countries, multinational giants and global forces.

But this is just the worst-case scenario.

When the project started, Gu Qing had already started to work on the next step based on the preparations he had made previously.

Blue Star is the world's largest private enterprise launch site. After each rocket launch mission passes official approval, it will carry as many resources and intelligent robots as possible and transport them to the Kyushu Space Station and the moon.

Now, there is a discovered cave underground in the lunar landing area, which has been built into a secret base.

Although it is not yet possible to achieve self-sufficiency in resources for a long period of time, it is able to sustain a stable team of ten people living in this secret base for a year.

  As for a year later?

Gu Qing didn't believe that with the current intensity of the fierce war, when everyone really threw mushrooms together, Blue Star would continue to have frequent fierce wars for more than a year.

After all, once the nuclear countermeasure mechanism is triggered, the blue planet will be hot enough within a few hours, but after a month, the blue planet will inevitably cool down.

Time changed and it was March 1029, 3 in the Xia Yin calendar.

The Taoyao production plant of Daxia Jiuzhou Technology began to increase its production capacity. In the past, the supply of rare medicinal materials in Dongshan Province, which had only been stable and had never been able to increase, suddenly began to actively provide a large number of wild high-quality medicinal materials of the year.

There are also some rare resource derivatives that are not easy to obtain, which also began to be supplied in large quantities on this day. Gu Qing also personally inspected this batch of goods. From his current "perspective", this batch of goods obviously has traces of years of backlog, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits, and the efficacy is still good.

Cui Kai, the director of Jiuzhou Food and Beverage Factory, accompanied Gu Qing to inspect these special supplies.

After seeing Mr. Gu shaking his head and nodding from time to time, he suppressed his thoughts and waited until he returned to the office to rest before he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gu, when I saw you checking the materials just now, your expression changed a little. Did they not give us good stuff this time?"

From an ordinary employee in logistics warehousing, Cui Kai worked hard for many years and was finally promoted to this position. Naturally, he did not dare to take these things lightly.

Gu Qing heard Cui Kai's words, smiled and shook his head, "You are too concerned, I was checking the materials and suddenly remembered some small things, so I just shook my head."

"Small things?"

"Well, this is also related to our Taoyao and other products. You may have heard about the Angong Niuhuang Pills."

When Cui Kai heard the name of this medicine, he understood.

He said with some emotion: "I heard that because rhino horns are banned, one of the ingredients in the production of Angong Niuhuang Pills has been replaced with buffalo horn concentrated powder, and the bezoars are also artificially grown and cultivated, so now this magical medicine that can quickly clear away heat and cool blood is not as effective as before.

  Mr. Gu said that some of the materials provided this time were inferior?

If this is the case, our ability to test Chinese herbal medicines must be further improved. By the way, we can write a test order now and ask them to resupply. After all, they must stock up enough now-"

Although they were already in an office with high confidentiality, Cui Kai quickly shut up.

Gu Qing did not blame the middle-aged man. He took a deep breath and said, "Wild ones are not necessarily good, and artificially cultivated ones are not necessarily bad. The most important thing is the production environment of the material and its own qualifications.

Taoyao, this special medicine, is an excellent supplement for people who take it for the first time. It can refresh the mind, fight fatigue, and accelerate the body's recovery. It can also fight bacteria and inflammation and promote wound healing.

However, after drinking too much, it can also cause a series of problems in the drinker, such as heart rate disorders, high blood pressure, cognitive incoordination, and some side effects and complications are very difficult to treat.

It just occurred to me that if there is a special situation and someone has to take Taoyao in large doses, how should we eliminate or reduce the side effects.

Also, some of these materials must be aged, and I’m afraid that after this large-scale consumption, the production will be reduced, or even completely disappear.”

Chinese medicinal materials are not inexhaustible, and Cui Kai is certainly aware of this.
