Chapter 493

From the day after he was released on bail, Chairman Im Jin-yong lived in the research center and Seoseong SB factory.

One of the lines at Seoseong SB Suwon Plant 1 stopped. This is where Seoseong SB first built the OTK battery production line.

I had a video call with Allen Eberhart and told them what was going on.

The plan to mine expensive resources, including rare earths, by building mines on the moon has only existed as a plan.

If he succeeds, it would be a first in the world.

When Allen Eberhart had a clear goal, he went ahead without any hesitation.

He doesn’t seem to think too much about the possibility of failure. After all, because he is such a person, he must have been able to constantly challenge things that others thought were impossible.

Come to think of it, he’s been professing to make a home on Mars in 10 years. In comparison, lunar resource mining is much less difficult and realistic.

“Are you really convinced that there are geratiniums in the sea of ​​abundance?”

“Yes. I am sure.”

he said with a smirk.

“Is this information from Los Cosmos?”

Roscosmos is the Russian Space Agency.

Information related to the lunar resources is not shared with each other as it is a top-secret matter. If NASA doesn’t have that information, it’s natural to assume that it’s got Russian information.

“I can’t tell you the source, but it’s solid information.”

Allen Everhart nodded coolly.

“Then that’s it. It doesn’t matter who you heard from, as long as you are certain.”

I asked him.

“How long do you think it will take?”

“We expect about a month.”

If we had to develop a new spaceship from scratch, it would take at least several years.

However, Space Z is already operating a shuttle with the International Space Station and has some history of sending rockets to Mars orbit.

Allen Eberhart intends to use the Fat Phoenix rocket to send a spacecraft carrying rovers and mining machines to the moon.

Since the recovered rocket is recycled, the launch cost is quite low, about 100 million dollars. This is the cost of launching to the end, and the cost of the spaceship is separate.

If you fail, these costs will just be blown into the air. But now, cost isn’t an issue. It’s time.

The current schedule has been pushed forward too much. But even if it succeeds in launching the spacecraft within a month, that is not the end. A spacecraft lands on the moon, finds the location of a geratinium mine in the Sea of ​​Abundance, and the mined geratinium sample arrives on Earth safely before everything is finished.

Can the global economy survive until then?

I said, counting the date to myself.

“Please hurry up.”

The Rothschild Mansion in Buckinghamshire.

All information from all over the world gathered here. Grace Rothschild watched the chaos erupting around the world. The monopoly of the United States, the division of the EU, the declaration of default by emerging countries, the stock market crash, the collapse of real estate, the spread of isolationism and chauvinism, etc.

She deduced and analyzed the necessary information and reported it to the Rothschild head of the family, Grant Darrell Rothschild.

Grant was lying on her medical bed, listening to her granddaughter. Despite being kept alive by the power of modern medicine, he was unable to move his fingers or even speak. All he could do was blink his eyelids.

But his eyes were shining brighter than ever.

When this is over, his life will end. He has lived for his family all his life, and it was his destiny to die while working for the family until the end.

As Grace approached the bed, a mechanical sound came out.

[After Kang Jinhu?]

Advances in technology have made it possible to convert brain waves into language. The words he wanted to say flowed through the computer installed next to his bed.

“After he met President Huh Chang-min, Chairman Im Jin-yong was released.”

Chairman Im Jin-yong’s lawyers have requested bail several times in the meantime. Although he did not disclose it directly, he promised to invest 30 trillion won in Korea.

In Korea, public opinion was high that bail should be granted in consideration of the influence of the Seoseong Group on the national economy. So far, many chaebol presidents have been released like that. However, the judiciary refused to allow the

However, bail was granted despite the conviction at the first trial. This was very unusual.

Besides, after Kang Jin-ho, as if to let the world know that she had released her with her hands, she went out to meet her in front of the detention center.

Grant also had doubts.

[Why does Jin-hoo Kang need Chairman Im Jin-yong at this point?]

As the crisis is escalating, they may have done so in order to cooperate with the Seoseong Group. But is that really all?

A few days later, Grace knew why.

“JN Battery?”

“It is said to be 20 times the capacity of the OTK battery.”

At her vassal’s report, she asked as if she did not understand.

“If such a thing has been developed, why hasn’t it been commercialized sooner?”

“The main ingredient is said to be geratinium.”

Geranium is the rarest of the rare earths and the most expensive element by weight.

Since loamy earth can greatly change the properties of a material even with a small amount, it is used like a vitamin in industry.

It was good to say that price competitiveness was abandoned at the time when this was used as the main ingredient.

‘Does the fact that even the chairman of the Suseong Group take out and pursue work means that he has found a way to obtain geratinium?’

At first she thought about the possibility that she might have found the mine after the earthquake.

But that was extremely rare. Even if she found mass-burdened mines, geratinium costs more than $100 per gram to extract the pure substance.

You can solve the quantity, but not the price. So what is he thinking?

In order to find out Jin-hoo Kang’s purpose, she paid attention to what was happening in the companies related to OTK Company.

She then immediately noticed that she noticed something strange.

This is the request for approval of Space Z’s exploration of the moon. Allen Everhart hastened preparations for Pat Phoenix’s launch, even changing her existing launch schedules.

‘Why is Space Z doing an unplanned lunar exploration at this point? Is this also related to Kang Jin-hoo?’

She had a feeling that these two seemingly unrelated things might be connected.

After thinking for a while, Grace realized something and cried out.

“I’m planning to mine geratinium from the moon!”

She immediately shared her thoughts with her grandfather.

Had others heard, she would have sneered that it was an absurd plan.

Because we don’t know if geratinium mines really exist on the moon, and if so, where they exist.

But when it comes to what Jinhoo Kang does, it is a different story. There is only one reason why he suddenly pursues work… … .

said Grant.

[You seem to have seen the future.]

It is only with his own abilities that this absurd plan can become a reality.

Grace Rothschild was amazing.

OTK Company, as everyone knows, has grown through finance. By the way… … .

‘Are you going to deal with us as industrial capital, not financial capital?’

The OTK battery, which has only doubled the capacity of the existing battery, has revolutionized the industry. But what will happen when a battery with 20 times more capacity is released?

It will truly revolutionize beyond innovation. In addition, this work was highly likely to act as a catalyst to promote the space industry.

Geranium is not of great value by itself. Geranium is traded four times more expensive than gold because of its rarity. If the supply increases as mining and transportation are possible on the moon, it is normal for the price to plummet.

But if you make a battery out of it, it’s a different story. JN batteries will be traded like gold or oil in the future.

If the lunar resource mining, which existed only as a plan, succeeds, the era of full-scale space development will open. If the world finds a new growth engine, it will be able to overcome the current crisis.

Really, this was unexpected.

I thought I’d considered all the variables, but I’m sure these variables were still there!

What is the value of JN batteries? 1 trillion dollars? Two trillion dollars?

Even if the project succeeds, the assets after the earthquake do not immediately increase. But people will think that Jinhoo Kang has enough money.

If that happens, everything the Rothschilds had been planning for so long would be shattered.

As the world’s wealth increases, so does the destructive power of the financial crisis. This crisis was designed by Rothschild with all his might. If they don’t succeed, even if they succeed, if they don’t deal with the situation after that, the Rothschilds will suffer a fatal blow as well. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Grace felt as if all the energy in his body was draining away. But he soon regained his composure and made a cold judgment.

Jinhoo Kang has already shown his hand. If you know what your opponent is trying to do, you can block or use it against them.

Grace mumbled softly.

“It’s geratinium… … .”

At present, only NASA and a few private space companies have transferred the technology to the moon with the capital and technology to mine it by sending a spacecraft to the moon. Even after that, huge investment and technology are needed to build mines and bases on the moon in earnest, and for transport ships to come and go.

The Rothschilds have reigned at the pinnacle of global finance for 250 years after Meyer Amsel Rothschild, the progenitor of the family.

However, as time passed, his influence gradually diminished.

‘If I could monopolize the geratinium mines and transport on the moon… … .'(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Could it be that Rothschild films can be continued for hundreds of years in the future?

She picked up the receiver and gave instructions.

“Go ahead with your plan now.”

Germany’s Deutsche Bank went bankrupt.

The startled Germans rushed to the bank to withdraw money, but the bank was closed. It was the largest bank bankruptcy in Europe, and it shook not only Germany, but Europe and the world as well.

It was enough to remind me of the nightmare of Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy. The fear of bankruptcies swept the financial sector.

ECB President Louis Weidmann has announced that it will provide emergency funds to prevent bank insolvency in Europe, and the German financial authorities have also put all their efforts into dealing with the aftermath of Deutsche Bank’s bankruptcy.

But before the shock was even over, something great was waiting to make this matter seem trivial.

It started with terrorism in Crimea.

Twenty-two Ukrainian militias occupied Kerch’s city council, taking 38 Russians hostage, demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from across Ukraine and President Vysotsky’s renunciation of Crimea.

Of course, Russia cannot comply with this request.

In accordance with the principle of no negotiations with terrorists, President Vysotsky immediately ordered the deployment of troops. The Russian army immediately crossed the Crimean Bridge to suppress the terror. After 17 hours of confrontation, the terrorists who were in a corner, killed all the hostages and committed suicide themselves.

After the Minsk Accords, Russian troops had stopped advancing in Ukraine. This terror, which took place in a situation where peace was barely maintained, was enough to ignite war again.

President Vysotsky, who appeared on TV, spoke with a firm expression and a hard voice.

“Russia declares war on Ukraine. After this time Ukraine is the enemy of Russia and will pay the price for killing the Russian people.”

The whole world was shocked by this announcement.

After World War II, forced annexation of territories by force became virtually impossible.

The only exception is Crimea. In Khrushchev’s time, Crimea was a province of the Russian Soviet Republic. He incorporated it into the Ukrainian Soviet Republic.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Crimea passed to Ukraine, but as Russia continued to exercise de facto control after that, the annexation of Crimea was not strongly opposed in Europe, but Ukraine was a different story.

If Ukraine passes, then Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia will be within the range of the Russian army.

This was absolutely unacceptable for the EU.

NATO Secretary-General Billy Carrington has issued a warning to Russia.

“If Russia advances towards Kiev, NATO forces will also have to move to support Ukraine. I hope Russia does not make a foolish choice.”
