Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2501 Mars Landing Project
"Why wouldn't I do fieldwork? I'm willing to work on any project of Kyushu Technology, as long as the company is willing to let me. Projects from other companies and institutions are out of the question. Besides, today is the manned Mars landing. Although it's a robot, Kyushu Technology's robot is practically half-human. If we successfully land on Mars this time, it'll probably be soon before we actually send astronauts to Mars. Who knows, we might even meet again someday."

"I heard that the 'Brave the No Man's Land in Anxi' activity is no longer available? Has something special happened?"

"Hey bro, your Mandarin is fluent, but could you read some books? Read the official announcements? Aren't the official announcements from Daxia clear enough? The uninhabited area is a key area for ecological protection. No unauthorized equipment, individuals, or organizations are allowed to enter the uninhabited area and disturb its ecological environment."

We humans may seem to rarely get sick, at most catching a cold, fever, or inflammation. But to the animals in the Anxi no-man's-land, we are walking sources of plague. A single sneeze could cause a huge disturbance to a small animal population, or even risk their extinction. So if we truly care about the environment, cherish nature, and these animals, we shouldn't make videos or programs about the no-man's-land.

"Oh my god, is that so? The Great Xia government is actually willing to designate such a large area for wild plants and animals to grow freely. This is simply amazing. I must write it down."

Thank you, brother. I've already decided on the title for the next report: "Daxia's Ecological Protection Leads the World." When I was learning Daxia Mandarin, I saw that you had already completed a desert enclosure and greening project more than a decade ago. Undoubtedly, this is true environmental protection, unlike in America, where we deliberately burn down towering trees every year.

"Oh, the breakfast provided in Kunlun City is so filling! Not only does it include oatmeal and milk, but also so many vegetables and fruits. I absolutely love Anxi and Kunlun City! In Korea, only the truly wealthy can afford to eat fruit like this. I really wish I could stay in Daxia on business trips all the time..."

"During my stay in Kunlun City, I feel much better. At least my rhinitis hasn't recurred. The air here is so fresh, it smells like strawberries and blueberries..."

The Kunlun City government doesn't need to say much; it has its own "great scholars from beyond the Great Wall" to debate the issues for Kunlun City.

These casual conversations during work often better reflect the true thoughts of these journalists and photographers.

After all, due to the nature of their profession, they have a certain understanding of many cities around the world. Often, if they have a good impression of a city, their words will carry related emotions, making readers also yearn for that city.

It's like heaven, but no living human being has ever truly entered heaven.

But as more and more people talked about it, Heaven became a magical place that these believers longed for.

He Xiasheng, the head of the Kunlun City government, looked at the rocket standing on the launch pad from the observation room not far away, his gaze filled with reminiscence.

Although Kunlun City's development has entered a stable phase, more and more world-class companies are queuing up, eager to "set up camp" and establish businesses in Kunlun City as soon as possible. Every year, many elites from various industries consult them on how to become permanent residents of Kunlun City and how to purchase or own a property in Kunlun City through other means.

Although he wanted to continue "striving" in the city, the authorities had already hinted that his task this year was to bridge the gap between the previous and next leaders and ensure that the next person in charge could better take over the work in Kunlun City.

Looking at the rocket launching in the distance, Li Lixia spoke up, "I remember that you and those others were doing a live broadcast from the construction site in Kunlun City, introducing this promising future technology city to the world. At that time, during my spare time, I also really enjoyed watching the live broadcast from your Kunlun City studio, and it truly gave me a lot of inspiration and helped me complete many difficult tasks."

I think without that experience, I wouldn't have been able to become your deputy.

He Xiasheng looked at the deputy sent by the government, smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze back and said with emotion, "This is indeed a city of hope, but everything it has comes from the workers and peasants. However, each industry here has its own unique changes. Therefore, in our daily work, we cannot rely solely on our own thoughts. We must take the initiative to learn and listen to the opinions of companies, including Kyushu Technology."

Only scientists and engineers can more easily understand each other and ensure that the direction of industrial development remains correct.

At this point, He Xiasheng paused for a moment before saying softly, "You're not that old. You could actually study more, and it would be best to find a science or engineering major to study. In Kunlun City, doing so would only have benefits and no drawbacks."

Like the Mars-bound robot from Kyushu Xinghai Company, its materials and performance in various movements are not significantly different from those of a healthy ordinary person. In fact, its data is even slightly worse than that of a typical outstanding astronaut. This actually demonstrates that Kyushu Technology's robot research and development technology has far surpassed that of other companies and institutions.

Although he didn't know who would take over his job, He Xiasheng sincerely hoped that the successor would take the city's development to new heights, rather than simply following the old ways and stagnating.

Of course, he also knew that as long as Kyushu Technology was here, Kunlun City could not truly stand still.

However, given the precedent of Chengdu's Xinke District, Jiuzhou Technology may not allow it to stagnate and may shift its development focus, slowing down its rapid growth.

6:30 in the morning.

Launch site at Kunlun City Aerospace Base.

After completing its final tests, the JZ-405 heavy-lift launch vehicle from Kyushu Technology ignited the morning mist over Kunlun City with a plasma torch at the command of the launch commander.

The boosters roared simultaneously, sending the 180-ton "Zhurong" manned Mars spacecraft into space.

The quantum computer in the launch control center monitors data from several sensors on the rocket and spacecraft in real time as the rocket crosses the Kármán line, the boundary between outer space and the atmosphere of Earth, located at an altitude of 100 km.

The intelligent robot's human-like voice rang out in the channel: "Report, all systems are overloaded by 3.2G, which meets the expected standard."
