Minke's black technology

Chapter 350 Secret Base
The De Beers company was only affected by the financial turmoil, and it could no longer bear to file for bankruptcy.

Those who were in the storm would die without a place to die. The collapse of gold and silver futures caused many famous players to "suicide" or "jump off a building". Of course, there were also many guys who took out a pistol and shot themselves in the temple. People can't survive even if they file for bankruptcy.

After all, futures are all about leverage, and even if you don’t use leverage, you can’t survive. After this battle, metal prices all over the world plummeted, but some metal prices rebounded soon, but a long-term decline is inevitable.

Space mining has arrived. Although platinum-based metals on asteroids are currently being mined, everyone knows that this means that there will be no technical problems in mining other planets or space meteorites in the future.

A large number of gold shops on the Blue Star closed down, especially the jewelry company in the so-called Freeport was the first to suffer, because the Meow Star Group did not intend to use gold as a precious metal at all, but directly used it as brass Use the same.

"Of course the huge amount of gold has to be used in industry, so why not use it for collection?" Li Maoye set the tone for this matter.

Meow Star Group can indeed extract more benefits by tightening the gold in its hands, but firstly, it is not necessary, and secondly, it is too troublesome to do so. There are so many ways to make money, and there is no need to learn from diamond scam companies.

Then all the luxury jewelry companies around the world suffered huge losses, and some brands simply put on the label of sale, but the situation is still not optimistic. Even if the jewelry companies sell at [-]% of the original market value, no one cares.

Because relevant experts predict that within three to five years, the price of gold will drop to the same price as brass now, and the price of one ton will not exceed RMB 1. This is due to the increase in cost caused by space freight, otherwise it can be reduced by half Not only that.

Of course, there is also the appreciation of the renminbi. Who said that the US dollar has been weak for many years, and the Federal Reserve has been flooding for many years. Even if the rabbit slams the money printing machine, it cannot catch up.

After the resource problem can be solved through space mining, the mineral resources on the earth will not be so important. Only oil can still occupy an important source of chemical raw materials. In addition to the rising market, other metal resources and even natural gas resources have been affected to a certain extent. It is said that there is everything in space, but no oil has been discovered!
The bankruptcy of the company is actually nothing. The worst thing is that the currency of some medium-sized countries has completely collapsed. When the national reserve gold is worthless, these small and medium-sized currencies that rely on credit guarantees immediately collapsed. Especially It is those countries that rely on the sale of mineral resources for a living, and the government almost went bankrupt because of this wave of financial turmoil.

The kangaroo, one of the Five Eyes alliances, is one of them. Even if it sees the wind and turns very quickly, under the indiscriminate harvest of Wall Street, the fastest to die is the allies around the bald eagle. Who told them to get so close? And without self-knowledge, he yelled so loudly during the computer angel incident, it would be hard for those people on Wall Street to hand over their votes if it didn't die.

So in this wave of harvest, first the closest allies and servant countries, then Europa and some other countries, they store gold in the Bald Eagle Bank, but now they are all worthless.

The Federal Reserve actually made a profit secretly. The gold they deposited had been embezzled long ago. Now, taking advantage of the depreciation of gold to the price of brass, they bought a large amount of real gold and silver from the Meow Star Group to fill the shortfall.

In a way, the rabbit and the bald eagle wear the same pair of pants, which enables the two countries to join forces for economic plunder. In this regard, the bald eagle can still be the teacher of the rabbit.

After the efforts of all parties, the rabbit and the bald eagle reached a settlement, but it was just a private handshake, but on the stage, the two sides still acted like they were at war, and then happily made a lot of money together.

At least some of Bald Eagle's domestic organizations have benefited greatly from this financial turmoil, and their right to speak has also been greatly strengthened.

"High-altitude orbit drop soldiers... It seems that your designer is a game fan! This thing looks very familiar. Didn't you really go to play the Halo game and copy the concept of Hell Paratroopers? I remember this should be In the game, the attack pod can directly land from the universe to the ground, right?"

Li Maoye looked at the space launch capsule designed by the Army Research Institute and North Industries and said, and then ruthlessly pointed out that the game is completely different from the reality. Even if all the Hell Paratroopers are replaced by future fighters like Wu Ping, they will not be able to withstand the impact of hitting the ground. After all, it is not 100 % mechanical warriors, there is no way to keep the fragile brain of human beings alive.

The high temperature caused by friction with the atmosphere during the landing is easy to solve, but the key is that the final impact recoil force is too large, regardless of whether the landing cabin can withstand it, the only remaining human tissues and organs will be seriously damaged, and buffer components must be added. in order to solve the problem.

"That's why we need to find Meow Star Laboratory, and ask you to help improve the design and see if we can make this drop cabin." The visitor showed a mysterious smile. They are now able to grasp the mind of the bald man very well. As long as there is a way to attract the attention of the other party, it is very likely to solve the problem.

In fact, the first version produced by the Army Research Institute is completely different from the current one. If it weren't for the inability to solve the problem of recoil force, they would not have thought about changing it to the one in the game.

But now it seems that their plan has passed!
The bald man was very interested in the design of the second grade, and he immediately agreed. This kind of trivial matter can be improved in one night. Anyway, all the functional requirements have been listed, and he only needs to use the CVI system for a few minutes. You can design things well.

However, he carefully looked at the above data, pondered for a while and suggested: "Your delivery module has a little smaller carrying capacity, I think it's better to use the space mining transportation module to modify it?"

Now after the moon mining and smelting is completed, it is not transported to the Nantianmen space station for transit, but directly loaded with the newly developed transport cabin, and then flies directly from the moon all the way back to the earth. After entering the atmosphere, you can open the parachute to slow down the speed, and pass through the starry The engine is used to change the direction and finally realize the control of the landing site.

Although this process takes a little longer, the transportation cost is very low. From the initial cargo volume of [-] tons, it has increased to more than [-] tons, and the transportation cabin can be recycled repeatedly, and then launched into the air through the [Earth Cannon] Go to the space station and finally to the moon base mining plant.

"Transport pod?"

The person who came here was not a technician, and he didn't understand the difference between the two, but he knew that professional issues should be decided by professionals, so he nodded and agreed.

Regardless of what the boss made, as long as he can help out, he will never fool people with defective products. In fact, it is true. Li Maoye is even considering whether to build a spaceship.

Of course, it is the kind that can fly directly into space from the ground. With the breakthrough of cold nuclear fusion technology, the electric propulsion engine has sufficient energy. As long as the power is high enough, the bricks can go straight into space, let alone A spaceship with a star engine installed!
But Li Maoye also knew that even if he didn't make a move, someone would be able to figure it out in less than ten years. The technical difficulties had been solved in sevens and eighties, and it was only a matter of someone putting them together.

But this is not challenging at all, and there is a feeling of grabbing credit from others, so it is better to arrange it for other people in the laboratory to study.

If Li Maoye was to do it himself, he thought it would be better to create a curvature engine. After so many years of technology accumulation, the CVI system plug-in has restored many functions. It is estimated that it will not take much effort to develop the curvature engine.

"But the control system of the curvature engine needs a quantum computer, otherwise this thing can only levitate and cannot move in any direction. It seems that the front-end technology must be developed first!" Li Maoye secretly calculated.

If it is just a quantum computer, Li Maoye has already come to the door. By collecting a lot of quantum technology information, he gradually made up for the missing part of the knowledge. It feels like doing a jigsaw puzzle.

"No way, who told me that I don't have the right tools at hand!"

Li Maoye came to the personal office, pressed the button to move the bookshelf to the side, then opened a secret door and walked in. After verifying his identity, he took the elevator and went directly down to the underground place hundreds of meters deep.

The relevant departments in this place know of its existence, but they don't know what's inside. It is mainly used as the last escape route for big scientists. Not only can it withstand the attack of nuclear warheads, but also there are a lot of living materials and military equipment inside, as well as An M850 robotic bodyguard in a dormant state.

Now this underground base is used by Li Maoye to do some private work, so he is not afraid of being found out and causing trouble.

Anyway, there are all intelligent robots running inside. Without his authorization, other people don't even know its existence. Even Zhou Lin and Assistant Xie only vaguely know that he has life-saving means, but they don't know what it is.

During the period of his descent, he has already modified the transport cabin through the CVI system, which not only made the volume much smaller, but also increased its carrying capacity by more than ten times, and it can even be used to transport mecha troops for high-altitude operations. The orbital drop operation is much more spacious than the original drop cabin that can only squeeze four people, and the boarding process is also much more comfortable.

"The key is the cost. I think the Army Rabbit guy must be able to recycle it, and it must also ensure safety and stability, so it can only be made with a stronger leather."

Li Maoye was thinking about it. The elevator finally descended several hundred meters from the ground, and the door opened to reveal a huge space. After years of expansion, it was finally as big as the Bird's Nest Stadium.

Humph, others thought it was just a basement!
