Chapter 1516 Colonial Plan

Regarding this summit, Jiang Chen could tell at a glance where his allies were and where his resistance was.

Yes, resistance can only be used to describe it.

Nowadays, no one can stop Star Ring Trade from doing anything, and no one can change the decision made by Jiang Chen. However, the opinions of these energy giants may still become a hindrance to the Star Ring Trade's advancement of the Europa colonization plan. Because behind them they often represent not only themselves, but also the interests of a country.

Energy is so important.

Whether it is military or economic, they are inseparable from it. And once something is related to the first two, it will naturally have political significance attached to it.

Standing on the rostrum, looking at the representatives of various countries sitting in the audience.

Jiang Chen had an inexplicable illusion in his heart. He had become the "emperor" of this planet, and what he was facing at this moment, waiting for his resignation, were just the "vassals" in the empire.

Without the United States, NATO has ceased to exist in name only. There is no opponent for the Star Ring trade on this planet. Unless all countries unite, they can barely have a 20% chance of winning, and no more. Sooner or later, the "foreign peoples" in Europe will surrender under the banner of the Earth Defense Alliance, and sooner or later, these self-respecting "vassals" will be cut off from their vassals, and eventually give up their own power with both hands.

Now the "Emperor" summoned his "vassals" and asked them for their opinions on colonizing the New World. In fact, the opinions of the "vassals" are no longer important. What is important is how to divide the cake to maximize benefits.

If the ultimate goal of interstellar trade is to eliminate all borders, upgrade the Earth Defense Alliance to the Earth Federation. So as the "Emperor", or the "President" of the Earth Federation, or the so-called "Ball Leader", what you should consider is not only the interests of the star ring trade, but also the interests of the entire Earth Federation as a whole.

After all, they still have a truly deadly enemy to face - the colonial ship from 20.5 light-years away, a decisive battle related to the life and death of mankind.

First, Kerwin explained to everyone the prospects and necessity of colonizing Jupiter. There is no need to go into details about how rich the above resources are. Not only the ones mentioned by Star Ring Trade, countries must have also analyzed them through various technical means.

Soon it was time for questions.

The first people to ask questions were naturally experts in the aerospace field.

A technical advisor from the Russian Space Agency (RKA) stood up first to ask questions.

"The most critical question is, how can we survive up there without water?"

"This is a very good question. In fact, before the summit, it was this issue that we studied the most." Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued, "According to the observations from the outposts we have deployed on Jupiter , Europa stores a large amount of water resources, its surface is covered by glaciers, and under the ice caps is a flowing ocean. Not only the problem of water, but also the problem of heat can be solved. There can be a liquid ocean under the ice caps, then It must mean there is intense submarine volcanic activity on Europa."

"We are rethinking the colonization plan and focusing on building living and industrial areas on Europa. Europa will serve as our resource extraction base to produce blackane and transport it to Earth or other colonies."

Light blue light particles flashed on the holographic screen.

At the location where Jiang Chen's finger traced, the three-dimensional image of Jupiter and all its satellites were concretely presented in front of everyone. Europa produces water, liquefied hydrogen, oxygen, and relies on geothermal energy to generate electricity, while Europa produces energy. Two intertwined blue lines connect the two planets, and ultimately connect with the Earth and the Earth hundreds of millions of kilometers away. Mars connected.

A simple trade route has been planned by Star Ring Trade. The starships of the Star Ring Trade are responsible for shipping within the star system. As for transportation within the planet system, with the current strength of several major member states, there is no problem in completing it alone.

Everyone can see the broad prospects of colonizing Jupiter from this concept map.

However, as old problems are solved, new ones emerge.

"Blackane? What is that?"

A technical advisor from Royal Dutch Shell stood up and spoke.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"That's what we were saying."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and clicked a few times on the touch pad. The cylindrical platform slowly rose. Located in the center of the platform was a black crystal only the size of a thumb, like obsidian, with a glass surface. luster.

Captured by a high-resolution camera, everyone can clearly observe the thumb-sized black crystal mounted on the electronic screen on the table.

A clear sign, glassy luster is common in silicate minerals, especially in igneous rocks, and is almost impossible to see in hydrocarbons.

Just when everyone thought that this was probably the rock sample sent back from Europa by the Starring Trading Survey Ship, Jiang Chen took out a lighter from his pocket.

Then it was set on fire.

That's right.

Just lit.

Except for those politicians and diplomats who did not understand the whole process and sat there indifferently, almost all the technical consultants present and the oil company CEOs who knew something about mineralogy were all stunned.

Especially when I saw the cluster of flames igniting from the pitch-black crystal, I heard one after another incredulous exclamations.

"This is impossible!"

"Coal mineral? I heard that there is a kind of bituminous coal that can also produce glass luster..."

Some even stood up eagerly and said.

"Is this the blackane? Do you have calorific value data? I need its calorific value data!"

Jiang Chen raised his hand to signal the restless people in the audience to be quiet and continued.

"The density is twice that of water, and its composition is an alkane mixture... In fact, when I say this, many of you can already roughly calculate its calorific value, and we have no intention of hiding this new substance."

"We discovered a bacterium on Callisto, which we temporarily named M1. Its metabolite is 'melanosan', a mixture of alkanes that appears black. Its molecular structure undergoes a tight Z-shaped fold. Heating in an oxygen-free environment can slowly decompose into methane and ethane..."

Looking at the chairman of Gazprom who gasped, Nasser of Aramco who looked around restlessly, and the CEO of China National Petroleum Corporation who whispered to the boss behind him, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued.

"I believe that after I said this, everyone here already knows what this means."

"Yes, this will be an energy revolution."

"Of course, the purpose of our summit is not to sell you this alkane mixture that is easy to store, transport, or even use, but to tell you what kind of treasure we are facing."

"Now that I have taken out the treasure map, what we will discuss next is how to dig out this treasure." At this point, Jiang Chen paused and looked at the faces that were lost in thought. , smiled slightly and said, "We have always believed that efforts are directly proportional to rewards."

"Those who are not interested can leave early."

"But if you're interested, I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
