Chapter 1519 The Summit Ends

After three full days of discussions, this space colonization summit that attracted global attention finally came to an end.

Almost people all over the world are waiting for the outcome of this meeting.

Colonizing Jupiter sounds exciting.

People are sitting around in front of the TV, or in front of the computer, or holding mobile phones in their hands, eagerly waiting for the reporters gathered at the door of the conference center. In this boom in outer space colonization, their country will What role to play.

In the lobby of a roadside restaurant, oil workers who had just come down from the oil well were eating. The TV hanging in the middle of the hall happened to be showing news about this. Looking at the CCTV reporter's report on the other side of the TV screen, the man with a shaved head drank a glass of wine and raised his eyebrows.

"There are fifty places in total, why are there so few?"

"There are only two hundred places in total. Fifty is already a lot. And don't these things come in batches? I just don't know who will go up, haha." A colleague who was drinking together said with a smile. Regarding his country, I feel quite proud to be able to send astronauts to such a distant place.

"That's right, it's so far away from home, what's the point of going up there?" Another person sitting next to him also sighed, but his focus was completely different. Although he didn't have any specific feelings about how far away Jupiter was, he still knew that it was "very far away." "I hope we don't have to fight it again."

"Hey, come on, even if you have the chance, you won't be able to go up. The minimum education requirement is an undergraduate degree, and you have to go to the New Zealand Astronaut Training Center for training first. You go and I ask you to learn to fly a rocket, can you do it? ?" The person next to him joked at the same time.

"What can't you learn? After all, the official language there is Chinese." The man's face turned red and he choked, "I know how to dig wells and collect gas. I may know more than those people."

"Haha, Lao Wu, just brag."

There was cheerful laughter at the table, and the topic quickly changed from the news to the embarrassing things that Old Wu Gang did when he came to work.

On the other side, there is also a table of men wearing glasses and dressed in a slightly elegant manner. They are also watching the news on TV while eating. When he saw the CEO of PetroChina being interviewed and saying with a glowing face that PetroChina would invest 20 billion Singapore dollars and talking about building an oil field on Callisto, his eyes almost bulged out of his head.

"PetroChina invested 20 billion Singapore dollars... Oh my god, these guys cry about poverty every day, how can they be so rich as soon as they make a move."

20 billion Singapore dollars, which is more than 2,000 soft girl coins.

Most people have only seen this much money on TV. The man smacked his tongue and let the shock in his heart ferment for a while with the news. What he didn't know was that just because of the investment of SGD 20 billion, PetroChina's stock price had soared to the sky in the securities market.

It turns out that oil extraction in Africa can excite investors for a while, not to mention that oil wells are about to be built on Jupiter. The high-spirited gamblers can't wait to push the stock index into outer space in order to vent their investment enthusiasm.

On the other side, as far away as Europe in the Western Hemisphere, people in Britain and France are also paying attention to this summit.

The eyes of the pairs of people looking at the TV screen were full of envy, suspicion, and even jealousy, but no matter what kind of emotions they waited for the moment the summit ended, the new era that was about to begin had nothing to do with them.

"With a total investment of 176 billion Singapore dollars, including the 50 billion Singapore dollars invested by Future People Bank, our budget for colonizing Europa this time is quite sufficient. According to the plan, we can first build a A colony of 200 people, establishing water treatment stations, electrolyzed water stations and other life support facilities. After ensuring that we can sustain oxygen, fresh water, and food consumption for 1,000 people in the Jupiter planetary system, we will send a second team to Jupiter Colonial team.”

On the second day after the summit, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Aerospace, Kerwin reported the status of the summit to Jiang Chen.

According to the contracts signed by Star Ring Trading with various countries,

The Europa colonization plan will be launched immediately at the end of the month, and all investment funds will be received within a month. If Callo's gas production can reach 500 million cubic meters per day within a year, member states will make further investments in accordance with the treaty.

With a daily production of 500 million cubic meters, this is almost half of Russia’s natural gas production. Although most countries are still skeptical about whether the natural gas production of the Callisto colony can reach this figure, Jiang Chen is not too worried about this.

He has read the gas reserve report from the outpost of Jupiter. Not counting the blackane ores that seep into the pores of the surface rock formations, taking the hundreds of large and small natural gas lakes as an example, the gas reserves above are conservatively estimated to be on Earth. Hundreds of times more than proven natural gas reserves.

As long as the two problems of transportation and large-scale mining are solved, let alone the daily natural gas production of 500 million cubic meters, even if this number is doubled, it is not impossible to achieve it.

"The colonization plan will be implemented according to this plan," Jiang Chen glanced hastily and put aside the document handed over by Kerwin. Jiang Chen continued to ask, "At the Special Project Research Institute, what is the artificial intelligence of M1 bacteria?" Has the breeding problem been solved?”

"It's okay to breed on Jupiter, but it's difficult to breed on Earth," Kerwin replied.

"Have you found the reason?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The M1 bacterium has a very special structure and is highly resistant to cosmic radiation and low-pressure environments, but its requirements for gravity conditions are extremely demanding. When the gravity coefficient exceeds 0.1g, the metabolic level of this bacterium will begin to decline exponentially. When the gravity coefficient reaches 0.8g, the metabolism of M1 bacteria will stop. If this bacteria is to be transplanted on Earth, its genotype must be improved to some extent, or the breeding base must be built in the form of a space station in the gravity-free section of the Star Ring City. " Kerwin repeated to Jiang Chen the exact words of the researcher from the Special Projects Research Institute.

From a cost perspective, the idea of ​​transplanting M1 bacteria to Earth seems unrealistic. But in fact, it doesn't matter. After all, the gas produced by Callisto is naturally converted into blackane on Callisto.

Jiang Chen then asked Kerwin about the details of building a total of twenty astronaut training center branches in each member country, and then asked him to go down and do his own business.

I looked at the time on my watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Just when Jiang Chen was about to go to the cafeteria to have dinner and then go back to his room to rest for a while, the indicator light on his watch flickered slightly.

Clicking on the holographic screen of the watch, Lilith's image appeared next to him.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Lilith.

"Lin Ling asked me to bring you a message. The research task you assigned her has already yielded results."
