Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight: still buy it with money
Jiang Yu chatted with Luo Ji for more than two hours, and during this period, the two of them just had a drink and drank so much.
After all, Luo Ji's mission is too important and he cannot make any mistakes.
After leaving the deterrent center, Jiang Yu took a few days off and set off for his second stop: Guanghan City.
Guanghan City is now recognized as a "museum-level" colony. From the earliest human extraterrestrial colony system to the most advanced extraterrestrial colony system today, you can find it here.
The areas built before the Great Lower were all called "old city areas", especially the original Moon City structure, which had a service life of only two hundred years due to limited technology.
Now this area has reached its service life. Although it can be used for another 30 years after testing, some facilities have severe aging and minor failures occur frequently. Guanghan City is preparing to push down these places and rebuild them.
The initial structure was very critical, and it is still a major traffic artery until now. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At the same time, Guanghan City began to expand more than ten years ago. At the beginning, it was because a large number of residents were pouring in, so it had to expand.
Later, it was because Jiang Yu built this place into an important industrial base in the Earth civilization circle, and the industrial population increased and it was necessary to expand.
Mobei Farm mainly sells agricultural and animal husbandry products, while half of the industrial products exported by the solar system to PDC come from Guanghan City.
There is also a part from the industrial city that was bought at a bargain price in the low-Earth orbit. Now those industrial cities are under the jurisdiction of Guanghan City.
A large number of immigrants stayed in Guanghan City and became an industrial population, and even immigrated from Jupiter civilization circle to Guanghan City.
You should know that since Jupiter became the center of the solar system, Guanghan City has been marginalized, and the previous governments all believed that this was a "frontier".
So for more than a century, Guanghan City immigrated to Jupiter.
Today, Guanghan City is rich and rich, so the amount of money for reconstruction and new construction is nothing to the municipal government.
At the same time, Guanghan City and Yinghuo City also undertake a national key project in the solar system: the development of Mercury.
Before the deterrence era, in order to defend against the Trismos, humans mainly focused on the outer planets of the earth.
Rediaz proposed to develop Venus and Mercury to make a final resistance plan, but after he hibernated, no one brought up the proposal again.
Humans have established a huge fleet, and after their confidence has begun to expand, they have also thought about the development of Venus and Mercury.
However, the exploration of Venus ended in failure and there were no major results in the study of Venus, people once again gave up their actions to develop towards the inner planet.
Mercury now has only a small base built by PDC, but it is a research base, with only a few hundred astronomers, physicists, and other staff living in the sun.
Mercury seems to have been forgotten by humans and has not been developed on a large scale by humans.
For the solar system, Mercury has rich metal resources, and its distance from the moon is one third to one sixth of the distance between the main small star belt and the moon.
About a quarter of the resources that support the huge industrial system of Guanghan City today come from the development of lunar resources, and three-quarters come from the main asteroid belt.
It is not that the resources on the moon are difficult to develop or the metal resources are scarce, but that the solar system countries have limited territory on the moon.
The entire moon was basically divided up by several important countries in PDC more than a century ago.
At that time, the solar system countries were relatively weak and could only buy some land through Baker, but the cost of purchasing was too high compared to sharing.
Most of the resources used in Guanghan City were imported from PDC.
However, the power of capital remains unchanged and has always controlled the economy of the solar system by controlling the price of raw materials.
And it has also been used as a means of deterrence to force the solar system countries to make compromises through restrictions on raw material exports.
Burton developed the main asteroid belt and built the city of Kashu and Gushu in order to break away from the resource control of PDC.
This strategy has continued to this day. With the rapid development of Guanghan City's industrial development in recent years, Guanghan City's own output and imported raw materials from various PDC countries have increased.
In the past, more than 90% of the resources were brought from the main asteroids.
Now the entire solar system is under construction, and resources are tight everywhere, so I thought of developing the plan for Mercury.
The strategy of restricting the import of raw materials from PDCs must continue. After Mercury is developed, the resources needed by Guanghan City can come from Mercury's mines.
Another reason for developing Mercury is that we can study the sun at close range here.
To this day, humans only have a very simple level of utilization of solar energy. Jiang Yu's strategic department believes that stars are the largest energy body in the universe and their application range for stars should be broader in the future.
In order to give you an extra path in the future, Jiang Yu is preparing to set up a "Star Research" group composed of thousands of scholars.
When Mercury has developed to a certain extent, the team will be built for construction of a research base.
As for Venus, Jiang Yu once repeatedly said that it is not the time to develop Venus.
Jiang Yu plans to thoroughly study the "Black Side" and it is not too late to develop Venus.
Otherwise, who knows what danger will be caused?
After all, Venus is right beside the earth, so this kind of danger cannot be taken.
It is said that "will not allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed?" However, Jiang Yu is not sure to drive him away now. If he wants to sleep, he will continue to let him sleep. It is best not to wake up before knowing its background!
After staying in Guanghan City for a few days, Jiang Yu set out again, and his third stop was Gu Shen City.
Mars is on the other side of the sun at this time. It would be very difficult to go to Mars first, so Jiang Yu's itinerary is to go to Gushen City first.
Then go to Yinghuo City and Zaoshen City on the other side of the sun, because Jupiter is also on the other side of the sun, and you can directly return to Jupiter.
Gushen City is relatively unfamiliar to Jiang Yu. He has only read the name in reports and information, but he does not know much about this industrial city.
Until now, Ceres and Zaoshen City still bear more than half of the metal resource output in the solar system countries.
There is no shortage of metal resources around Jupiter, Saturn, etc., but there are too many space cities there, so you should be extra careful when developing them.
For example, when developing asteroids in the Jupiter civilization circle, after digging out metal resources, the waste should not be discarded at will, and further proper treatment should be made.
For example, it is sent into the "not big" halo of Jupiter, or thrown into Jupiter.
Although these wastes do not pose much threat to Space City, if meteorites float all over the sky, it will make people feel insecure.
This set of mineral waste land treatment procedures is the collective will of the people in the entire Jupiter civilization circle and must be followed.
On various moons of Jupiter, due to the existence of some colonies, there are also various regulations on mining companies.
For example, exploration regulations stipulate that mining cannot be done in fragile areas of the earth's crust to avoid causing earthquakes that affect the colonies.
For example, it is necessary to absorb dust caused by mining operations to avoid affecting the environment of the colonial planet and causing safety hazards for shuttle takeoff and landing.
Although many colonial planets have little gravity, once dust is raised, they may not land for hundreds of years.
However, the dust of mining is not an environmental problem for a planet.
However, everyone firmly believes that these issues must be investigated from the beginning.
