It takes a long time for the Mars probe to reach Mars, more than 8 months. Although this detection activity is of great significance, it will take a long time to wait for the results to come out.
If all goes well, it will take more than 18 months for the returner to return to Earth carrying Martian soil samples. The time it takes for the returner to collect samples on Mars is about 2 months.
Compared with Mars exploration activities, manned moon landings are more anticipated, because the moon is much closer to the earth, and it only takes a few days to reach the moon from the earth.
Therefore, for the Mars probe that has been launched long ago, everyone is particularly looking forward to the manned moon landing, although it is still 10 days away from the launch of the manned moon landing rocket.
However, the popularity of the news about the manned moon landing has not diminished at all, and the closer the date of the rocket launch, the higher the popularity of the news. There are even bored people running to the Wenchang Launch Center and want to watch the rocket launch in person.
This manned moon landing did not blindly choose the location for the construction of the lunar base. The lunar orbit satellite launched last year conducted relatively detailed observations of the moon's surface.
They have selected several more suitable locations. This time they just went to confirm on the spot that the landing point is in the center of the selected locations so that the astronauts can complete the survey of these locations in the shortest time.
Just as the world's attention is attracted to our country's space program, our military is also making intensive preparations. Not long after they were launched, two aircraft carriers held intense sea trials and joint fleet drills in the East China Sea.
Zhao Yi has provided the military with the seabed topography and hydrology maps that have been detected by two seabed detection small submarines that often swim on the seabed for many years, so that they can master sufficient ocean hydrology data.
Although it is not said that the hydrology of the entire Pacific Ocean is well understood, it can be said that the hydrology conditions of most of the Pacific Ocean are relatively well understood, and it has a huge effect on the aircraft carrier fleet.
Since there are two submarine detection submarines, one of which needs to transport gold back to the country from the Mariana Trench every month, this submarine can only cruise near our country's waters.
But the other detection submarine is relatively free. According to the command of artificial intelligence and the marine resource detection satellite in the sky, it basically scans the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Due to his ability to adapt to strong water pressure, the seabed hydrological data and marine resource data he has mastered are much more accurate than before. Through this kind of detection activities, he has mastered a lot of seabed resources.
It can be said that this kind of seabed detection submarine effectively supplements the deficiencies of marine resource satellites in the sky. Many relatively hidden seabed resources have been found, which will be a huge wealth.
With its newly provided seabed iron ore, Tianxing Mining Company has accelerated its mining of iron ore. By June this year, all the new mining capacity was completed.
Now their annual iron ore mining volume has reached 1 billion tons, making them the world's largest iron ore miner. Other iron ore giants who originally wanted to increase prices slightly were suddenly silenced.
The production capacity of Tianxing Mining Company is really exaggerated. The total amount of iron ore mined in the world is not as much as that of one of their companies, making them a veritable iron ore mining giant.
Not to mention a price increase, the already relatively low price of iron ore has now fallen a bit. It has dropped by 5 US dollars from the original price of 45 US dollars per ton, reaching a price of 40 US dollars per ton.
To be honest, at this price, mining iron ore is not a complete loss, but it is true that you cannot make much profit, because the investment cost of road mining is very huge, and the iron ore also needs some processing, which also requires costs. of.
It does not mean that iron ore can be shipped and transported after being dug out of the mountains. It needs to be processed into refined iron ore, so the price of US$40 is basically close to their survival line.
my country's demand for iron ore has further increased this year. Without reducing the purchase volume of other iron ore suppliers, the remaining demand has been eaten up by Tianxing Mining Company's new production capacity.
Not only that, about 200 million tons of iron ore are used for storage every month. They have built a large number of iron ore storage areas at ports in major iron ore consumption areas along the coast.
The country is relatively supportive of Tianxing Mining's behavior. For our country, high-grade iron ore will always be scarce. Even if it cannot be used, it is a very good choice to store it.
Moreover, if there is demand, these selected iron ores can be directly taken to the steel plant for use. During storage, special protective fluid is sprayed on the surface, which can effectively prevent the oxidation of iron ore.
Therefore, it does not cost much to occupy the land in these iron ore storage areas, and even though 200 million tons seems to be a lot, it is not particularly large if it is scattered to so many ports along the coast.
Moreover, iron ore itself is a relatively heavy metal. Although its weight is high, its volume is not very large. We have enough land to store this iron ore, and the storage cost is not very high.
There are 200 million tons of iron ore used for storage every month. In one year, 2.4 billion tons of iron ore can be stored. Unless the iron ore mine is exhausted, the production capacity will be readjusted. Otherwise, , this remains basically unchanged.
However, based on my country's current demand for steel, there is room for further increase in iron ore consumption in the coming years, so even at this mining rate, there will only be less and less iron ore that can be stored in the future.
In fact, our country only needs to store about 2 billion tons of iron ore, which is enough to cope with many situations. Iron ore is not that rare in the world. It is just because our country's demand is too large and high-grade iron ore is relatively small. That’s all.
After this wave of high-speed construction period in our country passes, the demand for iron ore will gradually decrease, but this time will take a long time. After all, our country has a large population and a very large land area.
In such a short period of time, domestic infrastructure construction needs to catch up with and surpass developed countries that have been built for hundreds or even hundreds of years. The demand for basic minerals such as iron ore will not decrease much.
Therefore, the cycle of such a high demand will take about 10 years, and then it depends on the situation. If you are unwilling to give up the steel smelting industry, then increase steel exports.
Because by then, the economic development of other countries may also improve, and the demand for steel will increase. However, our country has a complete steel smelting industry chain and has a very competitive advantage in terms of cost.
Not only that, we are also at the world's leading level in steel smelting technology. The quality of the finished steel is very high, and we are also very environmentally friendly during smelting.
If environmental protection is not done well, the steel smelting industry will definitely find it increasingly difficult to survive in the country in the future. After all, as people’s living standards improve, the requirements for quality of life will become higher, including the need for clean water and air. .
Not only that, except for iron ore, our country has a huge demand for almost all other mineral resources, making our country the world's largest importer of natural resources.
On the one hand, this is because our country's economic development is very fast and the economy is very large, so the demand is naturally high. On the other hand, we do this intentionally because we have too much foreign exchange.
my country's annual export trade volume has reached 6 trillion yuan, which is more than 3 trillion US dollars. If we cannot purchase a large amount of resources and other complementary products from the Chinese market from outside, it will seriously affect the trade balance.
Not to mention the mineral resources that our country is not rich in per capita resources, even the relatively rich mineral resources are imported from abroad as much as possible, such as rare earth resources.
Due to the highly developed electronics industry in our country, the demand for natural resources such as rare earths is also very large. Except for some of them produced in my country, most of them still hope to be purchased from outside.
Not to mention countries like Tu'ao that already rely heavily on resource exports, even countries like Yingjiang have to export rare earth resources to our country because their trade deficit is getting bigger and bigger, and they have to reduce trade through various channels. deficit.
However, it has never been Zhao Yi's style to pin all his hopes on the natural resources of other countries. For this reason, Tianxing Mining Company has also built many mining sites at sea.
Although iron ore does not account for such a high proportion, the mining of seabed mineral deposits accounts for about 30% of my country's imported mineral deposits, and the proportion of some relatively abundant mineral deposits on the seabed has reached 60%.
As for the amount of imports, it all depends on whether my country thinks the import price is reasonable. If the price is too high, or the price is artificially raised, it will expand the mining volume of seabed minerals.
The lessons learned from the iron ore trade are right in front of us. Even if our country imports a large amount of natural resources, mineral exporting countries will not dare to increase prices indiscriminately, otherwise they will face the same situation as those iron ore exporters.
It can be said that Tianxing Mining Company has forced mineral resource mining companies around the world to accept our pricing power, otherwise trade will not proceed.
In addition to the active preparations of the Navy, our country's Marine Corps is also actively conducting drills and transporting many supplies to the coastal areas of Fujian through various channels to fully prepare for the final operation.
Although Zhao Yi was enjoying playing games with Lin Hexia and Zhou Jinyu in Shanghai, it seemed that the outside world had nothing to do with him, and he was still immersed in the carnival of winning each game.
In fact, he has already used his free time to deploy high-end robots, and will wait until he is fully prepared before taking action without delaying the progress of the task.
Not only that, he also used his spare time to develop more than 1,000 special plants that are needed by major cities and forest tourist areas in our country.
In fact, these plants do not have much economic value. After all, planting plants with too high economic value in the city will easily be destroyed, which is completely unnecessary.
However, the ornamental value of these plants has indeed been exploited to the limit. Not only are there plants used for urban greening, but there are also many plants that are very beautiful when they bloom, and the floral fragrance is also very comfortable.
It can be said that in order to overfulfill this task, he used almost all the free time he could use, not to mention achieving the best results, but at least he put in a lot of effort.
In fact, this work was done a bit late, because a considerable part of the greening in some new cities has already been done, but because it has not grown yet, the greening effect is not yet visible.
If he hadn't come up with this idea temporarily this time, it would probably be like this. After all, it was like this in the previous life. However, with the addition of these special plants, the living environment of the city is made more comfortable and the characteristics of each city can be added.
Now his private laboratory is intensively cultivating the seeds of these plants. When various plants are cultivated, they will be handed over to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory for seed cloning.
These seeds are then sold to major domestic sapling breeding companies to cultivate these plants. This is not because these nursery companies must participate, but because they do not want to disrupt the industry chain.
When Yaoguang Environmental Management Company used to manage the Badan Desert in Jilin, it needed a large number of saplings. At that time, a large number of sapling cultivation companies emerged in China to provide saplings for Yaoguang Environmental Management Company.
Although the more expensive saplings were jointly cultivated by Lucky Light Environmental Management Company and Qingnong Biological Laboratory, most of the saplings that were not particularly expensive were purchased.
With the end of the control of deserts such as Bataan in Jilin, the number of domestic nursery enterprises has declined to a certain extent, but some have survived to provide green plants for cities.
If Qingnong Biological Laboratory does all this work by itself, then a large number of remaining nursery companies will really fall down. There is no need at all.
The main goal of Qingnong Biological Laboratory is to develop new biotechnology. For them, the technical content of the work done by ordinary seedling companies is too low, and it is not as high as the profit margin obtained from selling seeds.
At the same time, he also told the China Housing Corporation about his idea and asked it to choose from these plants for each city based on the urban environment and climate conditions.
At the same time, in the urban simulation software system, the greening renderings of these plants should be prepared, and the replacement of green plants should be carried out in a planned manner. At the same time, close communication with the local government is required. After all, this is also part of the municipal project.
After playing the points match for more than ten days, their team, the God of War, which was originally at the bottom, finally reached fifth place in the standings with its unbeatable record, and was finally qualified to participate in the next stage of the competition.
The next step is for the top eight teams to compete in the knockout round. This is more cruel. If they lose, there will be no hope of continuing to climb up, so all teams are preparing nervously.
The competition schedule also leaves each team a week to adjust their status. The knockout rounds will be held one week later, which also allows Zhao Yi and the three of them to have a relatively complete leisure time.
Even if they had so much time, they had no plans to return to the capital. Even Zhou Jinyu had no plans to return to the school for a look, but hoped to adjust to the next game.
Because she knew that as soon as she returned to Capital Normal University, she would have to face many problems, such as inquiries from leaders and various social activities from colleagues. She would not have much time left for her in a week.
And to a certain extent, it would affect her competition status, so it would be better to stay here honestly, avoid these troubles, and at the same time be able to take time to shoot some commercials.
That's right, Zhou Jinyu's popularity is now very high, not lower than that of some celebrities, so advertisers naturally come to her door. What's more, there are so many advertising resources under Zhao Yi's banner. As long as she is willing, she will basically not be short of them.
Although the victory record of the God of War team in the later period is not due to Zhou Jinyu alone, because Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia are willing to serve as green leaves and highlight her abilities, her popularity is the highest.
In addition, Zhao Yi is a scientist with huge wealth, and Lin Hexia is the president of a huge group. General advertising revenue will not be put in their eyes. Advertisers will naturally not seek trouble for them.
If things go wrong, it is very likely that my company will be acquired by these two people, so the best advertising partner is Zhou Jinyu. After all, for a university teacher, advertising income is still very considerable.
According to the club's regulations, if the resource is introduced by the club, 70% of the advertising endorsement income will belong to the club. If it is not a resource of the club, then 50% will belong to the club.
During this period, Zhou Jinyu actually received a 20 million advertising endorsement contract, and the brand was very good and would not require her to participate in too many activities.
Of course, if the contract requires participating in too many activities, she will not accept these endorsements. After all, she is not short of money herself and will not make herself too tired just for this small amount of money. At the same time, it may affect her other things. matter.
Since these endorsement contracts do not use club resources, only 10 million yuan of the income needs to be given to the club. The remaining income needs to be paid after personal tax before it belongs to her, so she only gets 5.5 million yuan.
Although this amount of money is nothing to Zhou Jinyu, for other e-sports industry practitioners, it is a huge sum of money, and it can also increase exposure and further increase the commercial value.
Therefore, this has also caused many team members with a certain degree of fame to begin to consider the commercial value in this area. However, they have not yet gained a more famous name, and the commercial value is not yet so prominent.
The main reason why Zhou Jinyu is favored by advertisers is that she is a woman. During this period of time, she has gained such high popularity and has star quality, which makes her have such high commercial value.
There are very few female players in the e-sports industry, and even fewer are good at playing. Zhou Jinyu is not only a woman, but she also plays very well. With her good personal temperament and good looks, her number of fans has increased. Very big.
Even because of her outstanding performance during this period, many gamers called her the goddess of war. Although it was a bit cliché, no one came out to refute, because her performance during this period was indeed worthy of this title.
If you can win the domestic championship and win the mvp, or even win the global championship and win the mvp, then you will be worthy of the name.
Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia happily agreed to participate this time just to help her. After she wins the global championship and wins the MVP, they probably won't be so keen on e-sports competitions.
After all, if a person has climbed to the top of the mountain and seen all the scenery, it will be boring to do the same thing again. She may still be a player by then, but she will no longer play games.
Moreover, the three of them are suspected of cheating. If they don't come down, it will be unfair to other hard-working players. At least we should give other people a chance, and we can't take all the benefits. This is against the harmony of nature.
Of course, this is just a talk. The main reason is that if the e-sports industry wants to develop rapidly, it needs to inject more fresh blood. If they don't quit, there will basically be no one else to do anything. Over time, the enthusiasm for participation will be much less.
This is generally very detrimental to Tianxuan Technology Company. It needs to give hope to other teams, whether domestic or foreign. Anyway, Tianxuan Technology Company will gain the most.
If Zhou Jinyu didn't particularly want to participate in the competition, and also to quickly promote the development of the domestic and even global e-sports industry, he would never get involved. Although he likes to get involved in many industries, there is absolutely no option for the e-sports industry.
While Zhou Jinyu was resting at home and occasionally playing games to get a feel for his game, Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia began to inspect industries in Shanghai.
It is said that he has not been to Shanghai to inspect the industry here for a long time. He took advantage of a few days to inspect the industry here. Otherwise, it would be really unreasonable.
He also has many industries in Shanghai. Pusi Chemical Company, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, and Tianxing Semiconductor are the three most important industries. The rest are the industries arranged by his companies in Shanghai.
For example, Shenlong Automobile Company acquired automobile companies here. As domestic car sales continue to surge, the acquired automobile companies are developing very well.
However, he will not inspect this kind of industry, otherwise, he will be too busy at all. The companies under his control have more or less similar industries here, and there are a lot of them.
Therefore, he mainly inspected the above three enterprises, which are also the three industries that he attaches great importance to. Now these three industries can be said to be the basic industries in my country's economic development.
Pusi Chemical Company only has its headquarters and research institutions here, and its production parts have been moved to various places in the mainland, which are generally sparsely populated areas. In addition to further reducing costs, it is also safer.
Pusi Chemical Company is now the largest chemical company in my country and even the world, with annual sales revenue reaching 500 billion yuan, of which domestic contribution reaches more than half.
Although they only have their headquarters and research institutions here, they occupy a large area and have directly built an entire chemical industry park.
After Zhao Yi came here, he couldn't feel any traces of chemistry here. The entire park is garden-like, the environment is very beautiful, and the commercial facilities are very complete. If he hadn't understood it in advance, he would have been a bit confused. come out.
Because the headquarters here has just been moved here. The old headquarters is located in the old city of Shanghai, and the new headquarters is located in Pudong. The place is larger and the facilities are more complete. Otherwise, there would be no such large area for them. (End of chapter)
