Jiang Cheng spent hundreds of billions of dollars on Mars one after another, and much of it was wasted in the transportation process.
In this way, the cost of developing Mars has been reduced a lot, and Jiang Cheng can also use the previous high transportation costs to expand the scale of Mars development.
Generally speaking, the emergence of the Pioneers has greatly facilitated transportation between Mars and Earth.
Such convenient transportation makes everything possible, and large-scale development of Mars has become a reality.
The distance that was originally out of reach is now much closer.
Transportation is the first element of development. The emergence of good pioneers immediately solved the transportation problem.
There has always been a saying in the market that convenient transportation has shortened the distance between people in different regions and turned the earth into a global village.
What Jiang Cheng is doing now is to shorten the distance within the entire solar system and turn the original solar system into a solar system village.
As soon as Jiang Cheng found Peng, he immediately started discussing with him.
Now that the transportation problem has been solved, it's time for them to show off their skills.
The Pioneer has completed its trial voyage and is ready for use. Now transportation is no longer a problem. It doesn't matter how much equipment we want to transport to Mars.
Now that the biggest problem has been solved, we can start the Mars immigration plan, and preparations in this area can already begin.
The focus of the next work will be on this aspect, let's start preparing the things needed for this plan. "
Jiang Cheng told Xiao Peng the focus of his work for the next period of time, and also asked him to start preparing relevant supplies and equipment.
The Mars immigration plan mentioned by Jiang Cheng is a plan that has been formulated long ago.
Jiang Cheng proposed this plan a few years ago, hoping to build an immigrant city on Mars to accommodate countless Martian immigrants to work and live on Mars.
In Jiang Cheng's Mars immigration plan, he wants to build a large Mars city that can meet the needs and supplies of tens of thousands of people.
This plan sounds very huge. It is not that easy to build a city on Mars.
It's just because of technical limitations that it has been put on hold.
Now that the emergence of the Pioneer has solved this problem, Jiang Cheng is ready to restart this plan. deficit.
The Mars immigration plan has been something Jiang Cheng has wanted to carry out for a long time, and now that he finally has the conditions to implement it, Jiang Cheng can't wait to start having rich resources on Mars, many of which are rare on Earth.
Needless to say, Bojin is a necessity for building curvature engines. There are not many reserves on the earth.
There are also quite abundant reserves of many other types of rare metals on Mars.
If all these resources are utilized, Jiang Cheng's space program can be accelerated.
Now that he has reached Jiang Cheng's position, what limits him is no longer a matter of funds.
Even he himself couldn't count how much money Jiang Cheng had. Anyway, it was a very scary number.
Perhaps it is said that Jiang Cheng is the richest person in history, but no one dares to refute it.
Therefore, money cannot limit Jiang Cheng at all. Money is no longer a problem for Jiang Cheng.
In addition to money, other factors, such as policies and fishing boats, are not a problem for Jiang Cheng.
Now the entire human fishing boat is tending to develop into space.
If someone comes out to oppose Jiang Cheng's space program now, I am afraid that such people will be killed by everyone without Jiang Cheng personally taking action.
Therefore, environmental problems cannot affect Jiang Cheng, but are quite beneficial to Jiang Cheng.
The only thing limiting Jiang Cheng now is the issue of resources. The resources on the earth can no longer keep up with Jiang Cheng's rapid progress.
If you want to build more spaceships, or even make real mechas, you will need a lot of resources.
It is impossible to manufacture these high-tech products without only having skills and materials. The manufacture of anything requires basic materials.
Therefore, what Jiang Cheng needs most now is rich mineral resources to support his huge space program.
Jiang Cheng wants to build a space team so that they can travel around the universe as much as they want.
He also wants to build a real mecha army, instead of the current reduced version of humanoid armor, to resist the malicious intentions of other civilizations.
There is no peaceful atmosphere in the universe. Wars between different civilizations occur all the time.
If we do not have enough self-protection power, human beings will be like sheep waiting to be slaughtered in front of other civilizations.
But the establishment of a space team and a real mecha force requires countless resources, and various types of minerals require an astronomical number.
Judging from the current proven reserves on the earth, there is simply no way to gather the resources Jiang Cheng needs.
Jiang Cheng is not too worried about basic metal materials such as iron ore and copper ore.
The reserves of these mineral resources on the earth are very abundant, enough for Jiang Cheng to squander for a long time.
But Jiang Cheng didn't need a lot of these common metal minerals. For example, in the construction of the Pioneer, not much iron and copper were used at all.
What Jiang Cheng really needs are those rare minerals. Those resources with very few reserves on the earth are what Jiang Cheng really needs.
For example, copper is a metal that Jiang Cheng wants very much. Building spacecraft requires the use of large amounts of this rare metal mineral.
However, the reserves of copper on the earth are very scarce, and the content of steel in the bottom shell is only a few ten thousandths, which is simply pitiful.
The copper needed to build the Pioneer this time was all collected by Jiang Cheng with great effort.
Just building a spaceship would take away almost all the lanthanum on the market.
If Jiang Cheng wants to continue building spaceships in the future, he will have to go to several major countries in the world to obtain their inventories.
Although with Jiang Cheng's current status, it is not difficult to buy lanthanum from various countries, even if all countries' stocks are exhausted, it will not matter. But this is just a temporary solution, not the root cause, because there are only so many of them on the earth.
Even if Jiang Cheng collects all the lanthanum to build spaceships, he won't be able to build many in total.
Jiang Cheng had already calculated how much copper there was on the earth a long time ago, and how many spaceships could be made from this lanthanum.
The final figure undoubtedly disappointed Jiang Cheng. All the copper on the earth could not be built to produce ten spaceships like the Pioneer.
Ten bad spaceships may sound like a lot, but they are not enough for Jiang Cheng to use.
A true space civilization would have at least a few thousand spaceships.
Only after possessing so many spaceships can a civilization be qualified to be called a space civilization.
