Interstellar Industrial Age

At the headquarters of Shagang Group, Shan Ying had just finished a day's work, and habitually began to lie on the chair, while taking a break, while entering the virtual world through the virtual watch to learn about real-time news.

As soon as he entered the virtual world, he was immediately attracted by a piece of news.

Galaxy Technology Group used sunlight in space to smelt 150 million tons of steel in just half a day.

Without any hesitation, Shan Ying clicked in without any hesitation. As a leader of a steel enterprise, he knows steelmaking too well and is very concerned about all aspects of steelmaking.

"It takes half a day to smelt 1.5 billion tons of steel. No matter how you look at it, it's a satellite. But this is Galaxy Technology Group, maybe it's true."

As the person in charge of a steel company, he knows very well what 1.5 billion tons of steel means. Even the world's largest steel company produces only about 100 million tons of steel a year.

It is unbelievable that 150 million tons of steel has been smelted in half a day.

Soon, the scene of the asteroid smelting by Galaxy Technology Group appeared in Shan Ying's mind today. The asteroid that caused the world to suffer from pink eye disease melted at a terrifying speed under the polymerization of solar energy.

Unprecedented smelting methods and powerful technology have created this incredible scene.

"You can still make steel like this!"

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, Shan Ying was shocked.

Such a steel-making method is so unpredictable and unimaginable that he, who has been in a steel enterprise for several years, could never have imagined it.

In space, the use of sunlight to smelt asteroids is incredibly fast and unbelievable. This is the power of technology, an epoch-making new smelting technology.

"No, if we continue like this, we will be eliminated sooner or later. Once there are more smelting factories in space and more asteroids are mined, the steel in space will not be used up, and it will definitely turn to earth for sales. At that time, those of us who use traditional technology to make steel will definitely have no place to survive."

Then Shan Ying couldn't help standing up and started walking around the office.

He felt an unprecedented crisis, a sense of urgency, and he had a hunch that a great change would take place in the entire steel industry, and all steel companies that failed to adapt to the new era in time would close down under this great change and trend. net.

At the same time, he also saw an unprecedented opportunity in his eyes, an opportunity for steel companies to become brilliant again. He clearly knew that the interstellar space age was coming, and the steel needed in space in the future would be huge.

This random spaceship needs millions of tons of steel. In the future, it is very likely that larger spaceships, space battleships, more space factories, space farms, space solar power stations, etc. will be built. These are all steel.

"A glorious era is coming, and the key now is to be one step ahead of others and gain a foothold in the space field."

Soon, Shan Ying made a decision. He had to gamble, because if he didn't gamble, he would be eliminated sooner or later. If he lost the gamble, he would be eliminated. But if he won the gamble, he would be able to take the lead in the era of space steelmaking. , the family business handed down from grandfather is expected to become brilliant.

"Call the company's senior management for a meeting immediately.

"

At this time, Shan Ying didn't have a trace of tiredness. The fatigue of the day seemed to disappear all at once, and he became extremely excited.

Soon, in the past ten minutes, the company's senior management gathered again in a conference room.

"I'm very sorry, everyone should have a rest after get off work, but I have an urgent matter, so I called everyone back."

Looking at everyone in the conference room, Shan Ying said apologetically.

"Boss, what's the urgency?"

Fang Sixian, who is in charge of sales, said with a smile.

"Let's take a look at this news report first."

Shan Ying nodded, and then used the virtual watch to play the news report she saw on the PPT.

"What do you think after reading it?"

Soon, the news report ended, and Shan Ying looked at the high-level executives present and asked.

"It's unbelievable that 1.5 billion tons of steel can be smelted in half a day. This speed is too fast."

"As expected of Galaxy Technology Group~"

"superb."

Everyone, your words and my words express the shock in your heart and your admiration for Galaxy Technology Group, but this is not what Shan Ying wants to hear.

"Boss, our opportunity has come, and so has our crisis."

Fang Sixian pondered for a long time and said slowly.

"That's right."

When Shan Ying heard it, she immediately called out happily. Sure enough, in the company, only Fang Sixian was the same as herself, and she saw the crisis and the opportunity.

"Galaxy Technology Group smelts steel in space, and it smelted 1.5 billion tons of steel in half a day. Imagine how terrifying this number is."

"It may not seem like much now, but in a year or two, there will be a lot of asteroids mined, and this space smelting factory will start non-stop, and the smelted steel will be huge."

"It can't be used up in space, and it can be sold back to the earth. At that time, we steel companies that use traditional smelting methods will have no way to compete with them. Our steel company has tens of thousands of employees, and only a few hundred people are smelted a year. It's just tons of steel."

"But they are in space, and it is estimated that the number of employees will not exceed 1,000, and 1.5 billion tons of steel will be smelted in half a day. No matter from which perspective, traditional steel companies are destined to be slowly eliminated."

Shan Ying's tone seemed a little heavy, and the senior management in the entire conference room also fell silent one by one. When someone woke up a little, everyone immediately felt a strong sense of crisis, and it seemed that the collapse was imminent.

"However, this is not an opportunity. The interstellar space age has come, and there are more and more places where steel is needed, and the demand is also increasing."

"The Qinglong spacecraft of Galaxy Technology Group has a mass of more than 1 million tons. Today, Japan plans to build a spacecraft comparable to the Qinglong in space, and its mass will also reach 1 million tons."

"The European Space Center, Polar Bears, India, and North America have also announced that they will build huge spacecraft in space to mine asteroids. The mass of each planned spacecraft will exceed 1 million tons."

"These are enough to show that in the future, in space, the demand for steel will rise in a straight line, and it will have an incomparably broad prospect. Spaceships, space warships that will sail the universe in the future, space factories, space farms, space cities, etc., There will be more and more places where steel is used.”

"If we can take the lead in the field of space steelmaking first, ours will stand on the tuyere in the future. As long as we stand on the tuyere, pigs can also take off."

Shan Ying said in a very positive tone, showing her determination to enter the field of space smelting.

"But do we have such huge capital and technology?"

A senior thought about it and said.

"Uncle Xu, how much money does our company have?"

Shan Ying nodded and turned to ask the company's chief financial officer.

"We still have nearly 40 billion yuan in our company account, all of which are based on the profits that have been saved for Galaxy Technology Group as an accessories supplier in the past two years."

Xu Aiguo is an old man, or a leftover from the era of Shan Ying's grandfather. He does not agree with Shan Ying's hasty decision to enter the space steelmaking field. In his opinion, the funds and technologies involved in this field are not the current Shagang Group. able to get involved.

But he also agrees with Shan Ying's point of view. Now, if you don't change, you will die. If you change, you may die.

"There are 40 billion funds available for us to use, and then betting on the next profit, that is to say, we can have nearly 60 billion funds. If we can find another bank loan, we can almost raise hundreds of billions of funds. There are such Huge funds, I think it should be barely enough."

After listening to Shan Ying, he also carefully calculated the funds on hand, including future profits and loans. He knew that doing business in space would definitely require huge funds. He also did not dare to gamble.

"Jiang Tao, is there any technical difficulty in smelting steel in space?"

"Can we get over it?"

With the funds, the next thing is the technical aspect. Shan Ying turned around and asked Jiang Taolai, the person in charge of the Shagang Materials Science Institute.

"I have paid attention to the matter of Galaxy Technology Group's smelting of steel in space."

"This space smelting factory uses sunlight. The principle is very simple. It is to use this mirror to reflect sunlight, concentrate sunlight on a point, and form a high temperature to smelt asteroids."

"From this aspect, there is no technical difficulty, and we are completely achievable. We only need to build a space smelting factory that is the same as this smelting factory."

Jiang Tao nodded, sorted out his language a little, and said slowly.

He is an expert in technology. At a glance, he can see that this space smelting factory does not have much technical content. The principle is simple. The key point is that it is in space and requires huge investment.

"Okay, there is nothing wrong with the technical aspect."

"I decided that our Shagang Group will officially enter the field of space smelting. I don't know what everyone thinks."

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Shan Ying showed a smile on her face, looking very excited, and then said very seriously to these high-level executives present.

"Support~"

"no comment."

"I can see it."

The other high-level executives glanced at each other, and then nodded one by one.
