Chapter 642 Eat them

"There are many asteroids surrounding our earth. They will circle around our earth in fixed and irregular orbits, and at periodic and non-periodic times."

"Sometimes they even come over and scare us humans. It can be said to be extremely naughty, but humans can't do anything about it."

Dong Chen also used 3D demonstration pictures in his speech. In conjunction with his explanation, under the command of his movements, the number of asteroids around the earth increased one by one, and the trajectory of each one was exactly the same, just to make it easier to understand. Everyone can see clearly, some asteroids are magnified.

These asteroids were all moving in an orderly manner, but as Dong Chen's words changed, some of them became unstable.

"They are like naughty children. They usually seem to be in peace. Sometimes they will come over to tease you, but they may wash your priceless classical piano with Coke in the next second."

Dong Chen pointed to the asteroids that hit the earth from time to time in the demonstration picture and said, "So such dangerous existences must be guarded against and solved, and the reason why Arc Light Aerospace has not reported these yet must be because of these things. It is not a problem for Arc Light Aerospace’s technology, it can be solved independently, and does not require the intervention of the group headquarters.”

"And you already have some plans here, right? Linlang?"

Seeing Dong Chen looking towards him and asking a question, Liu Linlang said, "Yes, Chairman, as you said before, Arclight Aerospace has sufficient technical reserves and financial reserves. For us, It’s not a big deal, and this matter is still under planning and preparation by several departments of Arc Light Aerospace, but the final result has not been announced yet.”

"So is there any general solution?" Dong Chen asked.

"The general direction is already there," Liu Linlang said. "We are ready to eat them and turn them from threats into nutrients for the company's development."

Then he briefly explained the meaning of "eating" to the people here, which was to mine all those asteroids.

In this way, those asteroids will naturally change from a threat to a help.

And everyone sitting here thinks about the technology of Arc Light Aerospace. This thing is completely possible, and it is definitely profitable.

Liu Linlang also showed off several designs of mining spaceships, which seemed to be...well, very practical.

Since these mining ships do not need to enter the atmosphere and will be transported directly to the space station for smelting, the appearance design of those mining ships is relatively casual. There is no need to consider the flight status in the atmosphere or aerodynamics. It is simple, crude and good. Just use it and it’s cheap.

Because metal smelting in space will have some different effects. Space has very special environments and conditions such as high vacuum, no gravity or microgravity that cannot be found on earth. Using these conditions to build factories can produce high-performance products. Superior special materials.

Therefore, the captured asteroids will be smelted directly into metal on the space station. If the earth needs it, it can be transported to the earth by a space transport aircraft.

And some icy asteroids can also supply water to the space station, which is incidental.

After reading the general plan Liu Linlang said, Dong Chen nodded and said, "The plan is good, but the scale is too small."

After hearing this, Sun Hao, who was sitting next to Dong Chen, turned around and asked, "Do you have any plans? How much do you want to increase the scale?"

"That's it," Dong Chen stood up from his seat and looked at everyone sitting there and said, "Just now we just talked about the danger of asteroids, but the problems we face are not just this. Accelerated melting of the Arctic and Antarctic, rising sea levels, extreme weather, dramatic geological changes, etc., are all possible situations that we will encounter."

"I now have enough information and evidence. In the near future, our human society will definitely encounter a crisis of destruction. Many of you should have heard of the Great Filter Theory. This is the problem we humans are facing now. .”

As soon as Dong Chen finished saying this, there was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Most people here know this word, and some even understand its meaning. But after listening to a lot of what Dong Chen said just now, even those who don’t know this word can roughly understand what it is by hearing the name. Got it.

However, they did not ask questions such as "Why not announce it to the public", "Why not find other countries to cooperate", etc. The people who can sit here are not fools. Since the chairman has said that the evidence is conclusive, then they are sure Believe it.

Although the young chairman usually seems unreliable, they all have an inexplicable trust in him and believe that he will not joke about this kind of thing.

But if this story is told, it is one thing whether others believe it or not. It is not impossible for others to even suspect that you have ulterior motives.

So it would be better to make preparations on your own first, and wait until others find out about this problem later and come to you on their own.

Dong Chen looked around the conference room again and saw serious expressions on their faces. He continued, "But don't worry too much. Since I raised it here, there is a solution."

"The reason why I said Arclight Aerospace's plan is a bit small is because of this aspect."

"My plan is this. We will continue to build space stations, and we will build nine more space stations in the shortest possible time. However, the focus can no longer be on a comprehensive space station for tourism and scientific research. What we need is a space shipyard, Space smelting factory and extreme weather conditioning center.”

"And our lunar base must also be expanded as soon as possible, and the third phase of construction must be started. A large base or even a larger lunar city must be built as soon as possible. We can also test the survivability of human beings after leaving their home planet."

"The Mars project is also about to start, as well as the exploration of other planets and satellites in the solar system. We need to figure out how difficult it is to transform Mars and these planets. In order to deal with the worst case scenario, these things must be done. "

"Also, although our purpose is to deal with various doomsday situations that may come, this is also a direction for the future development of our company, but we have focused our development on space in advance."

"How about it? Do you have anything to add, or any different opinions that you can bring forward for us to discuss?"

Looking at the people below who started talking instantly, Dong Chen would silently think that he was worried about the future of the earth.

His original plan was to use his technology to have fun on the earth, but he didn't expect that in the end he would have to worry about the safety of the earth.

This moment reminded him of several very big bosses who appeared on the Internet two years ago. Their deeds were so "shocking" that they broke many people's views and allowed many people to see a new world. Opened the door to a new world.

He also wants to say now, "The thing I regret most now is founding the Arc Light Group. I originally just wanted to have fun casually."
