Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2493 Anchoring - Energy

February, 1037 in the Xia Yin calendar.

Chu Ci, the person in charge of the lunar refinery, was showing the data on the holographic sand table in the control center, and explained to Zhang Tianhao, who was in charge of the lunar development plan, "The current monthly production capacity of our factory is about 1.2 tons of helium-3, which is roughly equivalent to more than 6000 times the current annual output of Blue Star.

When the third phase of the project is completed, this will become humanity’s first extraterrestrial interstellar energy hub, and our currency anchor will be completely shifted from other resources to energy.”

When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he did not pretend to be surprised.

He still looked at the data on the sand table very carefully, and enlarged the sand table from time to time, and even put the data into the lunar development system for calculation.

This lasted for dozens of minutes. After confirming that the raw material mining and refining efficiency of this lunar refinery and all the projects in all links were true, Zhang Tianhao nodded and sighed deeply.

“I remember that when the teacher taught us about economics and currency, he explained the currency anchor as the physical object or asset that is the basis of the currency value, from primary assets such as food and metal minerals to official national credit, foreign exchange reserves and some special stablecoins.

He also emphasized that in different periods and different social forms, currency anchors will be adjusted with the evolution of economic structure. Currently, there are three main models in the world: sovereign credit currency, commodity-anchored currency, and algorithm-anchored stablecoin.

The spiritual ecosystem of our Jiuzhou Technology relies on special stablecoins. Whether it is ingots or copper coins, in essence, they are the same as the digital stablecoins of payment software platforms. Users use them, and the logic behind them is that we conduct currency transactions with banks in Daxia and other countries. In essence, they are data based on legal sovereign currencies.

If this time, energy can really be used as the cornerstone, it will have a terrible impact on the global economy, and it may even lead to war..."

Zhang Tianhao hates war very much, and he also knows that his teacher, Gu Qing himself, does not want to see human war.

Even over the years, the branches of Jiuzhou Security Company outside the mainland of Daxia have often done things like building kindergartens and hospitals with small investments in various places, in addition to providing security services to target users. Even the branch of Jiuzhou Security Company in Outer Mongolia has been planting trees in the contracted areas. The free education base built in the area has attracted the attention of many herdsmen, and many children study in this free education base every year.

From learning Mongolian writing and language, to Daxia Mandarin and Chinese characters, as well as the real modern history of the world.

Zhang Tianhao even frowned when he thought about the consequences of changing the currency anchor.

Chu Ci saw this scene and shook his head.

He did not have Zhang Tianhao's sad thoughts, but comforted him: "The historical evolution of currency anchors cannot be changed because of our arrival. Without us, there will be other companies.

Thousands of years ago, primitive societies traded with furs and shells, while slave and feudal societies traded with contracts, grain, and precious metals such as gold. The value of these currencies came directly from the scarcity and practicality of the anchors.

The legal currencies of these modern countries rely on official credit, taxation, government bonds and other core assets as endorsement. The cryptocurrencies spawned by blockchain technology are also sought after globally because of their untraceable practicality and liquidity.

But these are all uncontrollable, and energy and materials, as the most important cornerstones of our human society today, I believe that after the chaos, there will be a more stable financial order. For ordinary civilians, this is a bumpy path that they must take.

Compared with those American institutions, we can at least ensure that we will not ignore the interests of ordinary people in order to protect the interests of big capital.

Like the current spiritual ecosystem, many civilians from countries and regions around the world have found jobs in the spiritual ecosystem and earned income that they would not have earned otherwise. "In Chu Ci's view, controllable labor pains are acceptable.

"I understand this, but you should also know that when some countries update their currencies, they are plundering the assets of ordinary people, so this step is very difficult."

Zhang Tianhao sighed.

However, Chu Ci patted the shoulder of this old friend who had been trained by Mr. Gu for many years.

"Bonds, manufacturing capacity, oil, gold... the monetary system is accelerating towards multipolarization. Our energy is only a supplement and will not be able to become the dominant source for at least the next 20 years, so there is no need for us to lament this.

Mr. Gu also said that time will not stop because of our personal will, and history will not stop spiraling upward because of our personal will. "

"Well, I know the reason. It's also because we are the only two here, so I have these thoughts. Don't worry."

Zhang Tianhao nodded to Chu Ci.

Some things need to be said without words.

Mr. Gu is no longer as young as he was before, and he has no intention of having offspring now, so even though Zhang Tianhao and others don't have that idea, they still have some guesses.

When Mr. Gu is no longer willing to worry about the company's business projects, the company's next successor will most likely be chosen from among them.

Of course, relying on current medical technology, this day may take fifty or even eighty years, but it will eventually come.

However, as time goes by, there will naturally be more and more competitors.

Zhang Tianhao and Chu Ci didn't know that their communication had always been recorded by [Xuanwu] and passed on to Gu Qing for reading.

In fact, Gu Qing does not have the negative feelings towards the ideas of these students and senior executives as some people think.

It is true that he has no intention of raising offspring now, but that does not mean that he cannot do so. Moreover, as his body is developed more and his understanding of the warrior promotion in the Dimensional Empire increases, Gu Qing also knows clearly that as long as he wants, his estimated life span is now over 300 years.

If the subsequent training programs and supplements for future warriors were not opened to people like Zhang Tianhao and Chu Ci, these "young people" would definitely not live as long as him.

“However, some problems do need to be solved. The credit currency system in this modern globalized society has unsolvable internal contradictions. If you want to simply use energy as an anchor, it is still too fantastical.

Take your time, the overseas bases and planetary bases have been successfully established, so there is no need to rush."
