Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2502 Media Trends
The Zhurong spacecraft, which was both highly anticipated and resented and cursed by many, safely entered the Earth-Mars transfer orbit and successfully deployed its 25-meter diameter thin-film solar panels.

This special solar energy utilization device has a special photovoltaic coating on its surface, which can achieve an energy conversion efficiency of 45% in deep space environments.

Although the engineers at Kyushu Technology had put in a lot of effort to adjust the parameters of the intelligent robots to the level of ordinary humans, under Gu Qing's command, these three intelligent robots sent to Mars could be said to be the "most stupid" intelligent robots developed and manufactured by Kyushu Technology in the past decade.

Even the structure of these three robots is completely different from other intelligent robots. They have no intelligent core components, no solid-state battery power packs, and no 6G communication or 7G communication modules that are currently being tested.

The highest level of intelligence these three robots exhibit is their ability to vividly and concretely describe the data recorded by their body cameras and other sensors in the form of language.

Even so, the language modules of these three intelligent robots are extremely "primitive," containing only language module data for the Mandarin of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Furthermore, the daily work logs recorded by these three robots only contain relatively simple Da Xia characters and some encrypted text; their databases do not contain any other more advanced or intelligent data.

Not even 1KB.

An employee who has worked in the Kyushu Titanstar department for less than two and a half years can complete the logic code and database construction for these three robots in just a few hours.

However, none of this has affected the outside world's "hype" for these three intelligent robots.

The Wall Street Journal, once Kyushu Technology's number one mouthpiece, has gradually become Kyushu Technology's number one neutral media outlet in Western financial circles, due to the influx of many Wall Street financial institutions into the Grand Tower and the fact that several financial tycoons have moved into the Moon Palace complex for a "safe" living environment.

"Jiuzhou Technology's simulated manned Mars landing, after the spacecraft successfully launched and entered its predetermined orbit, has become a milestone event in human outer space exploration in the new century... According to an interview with our reporter, Jiuzhou Xinghai Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuzhou Technology, has prepared a plan to conduct a real manned Mars exploration in the coming years. Currently, the prerequisite is that this mission will use intelligent robots to replace simulated human astronauts to land on Mars and successfully return to Earth..."

It is reported that the three intelligent robots developed and manufactured by Kyushu Technology possess intelligent programs that are not far removed from humans. They can accurately report all the sensations their bodies are experiencing based on data from their sensors, making the robots more human-like...

Mars has a layer of pure ice over 100 meters thick, which is relatively easy to mine. It also has deep liquid water, and the north and south poles are covered with a large amount of freshwater ice. The surface is rich in metals such as iron, nickel, and magnesium, which can support industrial development. The atmosphere contains more than 95.3% carbon dioxide, which can be converted into oxygen for breathing and synthesized into methane fuel to support spacecraft return.

Its rotation period is 24.6 hours, and its tilt is close to that of Earth, which may make it a suitable agricultural planet for humankind!

As a pioneer of human technology, Kyushu Technology has gone from exploring various technologies during the lunar development phase to achieving some technological breakthroughs. Furthermore, it is now preparing to apply these technologies to Mars development, creating a true second home for humanity…

There was once a tech billionaire known as the "Iron Man of Silicon Valley," who made the startling statement that he would colonize Mars within a decade or so.

However, in the past decade or so, SpaceX has not even landed on the moon, let alone on Mars, much less colonize it. Now, this Wall Street Journal report has once again sank the US financial and stock markets, which had just seen a surge in aerospace company stocks and aerospace funds due to the moon landing.

Countless stock and fund investors angrily denounced: "The Wall Street Journal! You're lackeys! Short-selling lackeys!"

"My stocks! Just one more 60% gain and I'd break even, and now they've plummeted again! Aaaaaah!!!"

"We, the United States, were the only country to land on the moon in the last century, and one of only two countries to do so in this century. Why should we look up to the technology of China?!"

In a fit of anger and outrage, several gambling addicts who had gone bankrupt due to leveraged stock trading drove their rented old cars and sped into the commercial building where The Wall Street Journal was located.

However, because these old cars didn't accelerate quickly enough and had significantly downgraded front bumpers, they failed to damage the building's load-bearing columns, and didn't even manage to enter the core area of ​​the commercial building before being knocked over by the ejected safety device.

As the perpetrators, who were bleeding from head injuries, were apprehended by guards and escorted back to the police car, they continued to shout loudly.

"Fuck! They've taken our jobs, they've taken our money! Wall Street swindlers! You're all working for swindlers!"

"Damn gas-powered cars, they accelerate too slowly and flip over with the slightest bump. Daxia's new energy vehicles dominate the global consumer market, and it's all your fault! You're unwilling to provide financing to car companies!"

"My stocks, my funds, my retirement savings! All gone! Hahaha! You'll all go bankrupt too! You'll all become like homeless people on the street, penniless trash!"

In today's somewhat chaotic America, the trouble these three caused didn't even become a media focus.

Only a few media outlets dared to defy Wall Street's reputation and say in a sarcastic tone: "The scene was a mess, and Wall Street was like a fallen aristocrat, using violence to shut everyone else up."

“We may not be true economic experts, but we know that the returns on stocks, funds, and bonds are declining every year, but Wall Street is still unwilling to invest in manufacturing. They only want to play the game of making money from money, without considering our lives and jobs. They are the devil’s advocates.”

Amidst the commotion, several long-time users of the Lunar Palace complex successfully boarded their "homecoming" seats on the latest return flight of the Lunar Starship.

Since they were paying users, Kyushu Technology didn't try to fob them off with "hard seats," but instead arranged for them to ride in the smart seats that other scientists and engineers would use.

Although it's called a chair, this chair can actually be ergonomically shaped for users to sit on, and it can also be reshaped so that users can easily lie down on it.
