Chapter 1,514 The Tumultuous March

Unexpectedly, the technical problem of developing gas resources on Europa found the answer on Europa.

From this black solid, Jiang Chen could vaguely see an energy revolution brewing on the distant moon Callisto.

It is undeniable that the global power grid has suppressed the global market demand for fossil fuels to a certain extent. However, Jiang Chen knew very well that even if the earth enters the era of full electrification, fossil fuels cannot be completely eliminated. A long time ago, Starring Trading used oil crops to produce a petroleum analogue that can replace some of the industrial uses of petroleum, but The import of oil and natural gas has never been interrupted.

Regarding the discovery of blackane, it’s hard to say anything else, but there is one thing Jiang Chen is sure of.

After the establishment of the Europa colony, countless natural gas extraction companies will surely go bankrupt. This situation is like the impact of the global power grid on local power stations in the countries connected to the grid. Neighboring countries such as Malay, New Guinea, and Japan have almost completely demolished domestic power stations.

However, this time Jiang Chen plans to take a milder approach and allow powerful gas mining companies to participate in the gas development of Callisto. Holding and supporting several domestic energy companies, and then wooing several established energy giants, Star Ring Trading is only responsible for transportation and hexane synthesis, and Future People Heavy Industries is responsible for designing and selling outer space gas mining equipment. After eating the meat, You have to leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink.

As for those companies that have no strength, are too small, and cannot afford the development of outer space resources, it is better to close down as soon as possible.

"As long as this bacterium is genetically improved to a certain extent, and then artificially reproduced on a large scale, the methane and ethane on Callisto will be synthesized into blackane through biochemical reactions, and then transported! The same volume of transportation space will be able to transport more than before More than twice the gas!" Kerwin said excitedly.

"I think so too." Jiang Chen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Let the researchers at the outpost scan the DNA of the M1 bacteria into the database, and let the Special Project Research Institute participate in the research."

"I'll give the order right now!" Kerwin nodded and immediately walked out the door.

He looked up at the holographic image floating above the touch panel. The slowly rotating "blackane" was like black gold.

A smile gradually appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

He is now very much looking forward to the expressions on the faces of the representatives of the member states and the members of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee at the Space Colonization Summit in a week's time.

He believed that the expression would be quite wonderful.

…

In the past few days since Jiang Chen returned to the new country, many major events had happened in the world.

The first is the United States.

Trump, who has stabilized the situation, has nominated new cabinet members. Mike Pence's cabinet team has been almost completely replaced, and the entire White House has almost undergone a major shakeup. For example, Admiral Breen, who brought Trump back, was appointed as the new Secretary of Defense.

Well, after all, it was Admiral Breen who drove Trump back from the isolated island overseas in a Mustang fighter jet. The two developed a posthumous friendship on the island, which the American people could not understand. However, what is surprising is that Mr. Trump actually chose John F. Kennedy as Secretary of State——

A democrat? !

Not only that, this man was once his opponent in the election.

During the election campaign, Mr. Kennedy once had an advantage. If it weren't for Morgan and Rockefeller who were obstructing him from behind, it's hard to say whether he would have been able to sit on the throne of the president in the end.

There is no precedent for nominating an opposition party to serve as a cabinet member. For example, both Clinton and Comrade Ao Guanhai chose Republicans as ministers of defense. However, this is a consideration of balance and compromise when the Republican Party occupies a dominant position in Congress.

Now that the Republican Party still has a dominant position in Congress, Trump's choice of John F. Kennedy as a member of his cabinet is a bit confusing. Not to mention,

It's still an important position like Secretary of State.

What surprised outsiders even more was that such a list was actually passed by Congress...

Whether most Americans are willing to accept it or not, a regime that pleases the victorious powers has been established on North American soil. According to common sense, someone will definitely stand up to oppose such a government, and demonstrations did take place in many states. However, in fact, the people of North America showed more silence in the end.

The depreciation of the U.S. dollar has caused overseas factories to return to their home countries, and the return of manufacturing has boosted employment. The launch of the Bering Strait Tunnel, the project of the century, is equivalent to a disguised form of cash-for-work, just like the Tennessee River Basin Project during the Roosevelt era. created countless jobs.

Although the scars left by the Orbital Airborne Brigade in Washington, New York, Philadelphia... have made countless Americans heartbroken, what confuses everyone is that most people's lives have not been trapped as a result. Although Starlink Trading took away the gold from Manhattan Island, the new dollars issued using the gold were eventually returned to them in the form of aid loans.

Ironically, the employment rate problem that neither party has been able to solve was solved because of a defeat. What troubles historians is how to correctly evaluate President Pence's "contributions."

On the other side, in the distant Middle East, the Saudi succession war has taken a new turn.

Leading more than 10,000 Madagascar mercenaries, Prince Nayef (should be called the prince now) advanced into Riyadh and defeated the 50,000 army gathered in the suburbs. In less than three days, the siege of Riyadh ended. Surrounded by foreign mercenaries, Nayef stepped into the palace of his dreams as a victor.

This result is not unexpected.

After all, the strength of the Saudi military is obvious to everyone. Even if the coalition forces of ten countries were assembled, they could be beaten to the point of panic by the Houthis armed forces, and they were pushed back home even though they had absolute air superiority. It would be better to say that they could resist for more than half a month, which was already a embarrassment to these people.

Under the desperate protection of his personal guards, Saliman fled to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he sought political asylum. Former Intelligence Minister Idan was captured by soldiers loyal to Prince Nayef on his way to Sudan and was taken to Jeddah Port Prison.

With the support of his supporters, Nayef quickly ascended to the throne.

While using the name of the War of Throne Succession to purge the conservatives who supported Saliman Jr. and make room for his own supporters, he also actively established diplomatic relations with the new country and sought to join the Earth Defense Alliance as a minor member.

I have to say that Nayef is really lucky, not only because he received the support of Star Ring Trade, but also because he ended the throne succession war before April.

Although the approval process for joining the Alliance takes two months, as a country interested in joining the Earth Defense Alliance, Saudi Arabia still received a "Research Report on the Prospects and Feasibility of the Colonization of Jupiter" issued by Star Circle Trading, as well as a Invitation letter to Zhang Aerospace Colonization Summit.

In this way, the time quickly came to the end of March.

Under the spotlight, the space colonization summit on the expedition to Jupiter finally kicked off in Halo City...
