Technology Bigshot

...

This artificial celestial body dominates the network signal coverage of the virtual world in the European continent, the African continent, and the Atlantic Ocean. All information in the virtual world generated in these three regions must be temporarily processed on the "Tianqing-2". For information feedback, the information in these regions needs to be connected to other regions such as the Americas, and the information transfer and link must be completed through the "Tianqing No. 2", and the "Tianqing System" is responsible for the core of the virtual world of the matrix technology headquarters.

The "Mars Express" carrying astronauts, researchers, or outpost base armed defense tactical teams from China and the United States left the earth and officially started the journey to Mars.

"Mars Express" has disappeared from people's field of vision, but it has caused great repercussions all over the world.

Doubters on whether Matrix Technology has achieved and realized controllable nuclear fusion energy chose to remain silent at this moment. Thousands of lasers illuminate hundreds of thousands of invisible high-energy beams, except for nuclear fusion energy reactors that can generate almost endless energy In addition, what kind of energy can support such a high-energy output?

Europe was also silent. The moment this scene was confirmed, a dignified look and a sense of powerlessness emerged spontaneously. Japan was also silent, and countless countries that did not want to fall behind in the era of spaceflight were silent. "Mars Express "No. 1" rides the dust, and its unparalleled speed seems to reflect the development of that country in the era of great spaceflight.

Perhaps it was because she missed the lessons of the great age of voyage 500 years ago, which made her feel very annoyed. The painful lessons made her vow to regain everything she had lost in today's era.

The magnificent era of spaceflight has kicked off, but currently only two players can really start a new competition in that boundless universe.

Europe, Russia, and Japan, the second-echelon space nations, woke up like a dream at this moment. The speed of the "Mars Express", the size of the "Tiangong Circular Starport", and the "Noah System" that conquered Mars represented This series of shocks finally told the second echelon a cruel fact that the chances of advancing to the first echelon of space are slim.

If you want to become the third player to participate in this brand-new competition in the era of great spaceflight, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with the two countries that are already at the forefront. Space competition is not just for powerful countries. The game is a game that can only be played by superpowers.

As of 2027, there are only two superpowers with a global GDP exceeding the US$10 trillion mark, and both of them have exceeded the US$30 trillion economic volume. If they want to gain a seat in the great aerospace era, Not to mention other things, in terms of economic strength alone, economies with a GDP of less than 10 trillion US dollars are simply unable to participate, and Russia is the best example.

The total volume of the world's two super economies exceeds 50% of the global GDP in all aspects. The GDP of Japan, the third largest economy, in 2027 is only 7.4 trillion US dollars. If the second echelon of countries completes the alliance in space exploration, if it is only measured by economic volume, its 41% share of global GDP is indeed higher than that of China and the United States alone.

But space exploration is not about one aspect, but the overall national strength. The economic volume is not one of the important indicators to measure. However, it is extremely difficult to realize the second echelon alliance. Its internal and complicated interests Entanglement and distribution can make this second-tier space alliance difficult.

Before the first echelon competition has a clear outcome,

As long as the second echelon dares to take the initiative to form a joint situation, it will inevitably face the heavy bombardment of two iron fists. The alliance of the second echelon forces the first echelon to join forces, and the only major economic advantage of the second echelon will be pulled by the first echelon. If it is more than 10%, the second echelon is weak in all aspects.

The reason is simple, a strong third-party space alliance is not in the interest of the United States, nor is it in the interest of the Republic. If a biscuit is divided into two pieces, you can get more, but if you divide it into three pieces, you will get even less.

In unavoidable situations, Mars, two flags are enough, and neither side will allow a third party to force its way in.

There are no fools in this world. In this form, any second-echelon space power in Europe and Russia is very aware of this truth. Forcibly intervening to turn the chessboard game into a "Three Kingdoms" confrontation will only lead to a miserable death in the end. The last hope will be deprived.

Under the current situation, the space competition in the era of great aerospace will never appear the phenomenon of "Three Kingdoms" game, let alone the phenomenon of "Warring States" in which great powers rise one after another in the era of great navigation and then decline one after another. This era will only be a "chessboard game" In the end, either there are no losers, or there is only one winner.

The two super players have never thought of bringing in a third party to deal with their competitors. The so-called asking gods is easier than sending gods away. Even if you defeat your competitors in this way, your allies will inevitably grow stronger, and in the end your allies will also grow stronger. become a new opponent.

That being the case, either purely divide the results between the two, and finally get all to become the only winner, or maintain the existing balance and have no losers.

If the second echelon wants to join the ranks of their competition, every step must be on thin ice. Facing the tacit understanding between the two super players, they can only wait and see helplessly, and can only be reduced to spectators.

One step behind, one step behind, missing the beginning of the great aerospace era, the price is painful, the protagonist does not just want to be.

This is the new pattern of the great aerospace era, the game on the space chessboard.

Three months later, the "Mars Express" arrived in the orbit of Mars as scheduled. The adventurers on Mars ushered in the beginning of 2029 in a place far away from their hometown. Christmas and Chinese New Year were celebrated on the spacecraft. The accident of the Americans led to the extension of the "Gemini Project" for half a year, and also forced the Chinese to postpone landing on Mars for half a year.

The Americans made historic achievements and the title of the first person on Mars, but they also paid a heavy price. CMSX is also secretly grateful for this, otherwise they will face the same experience as the Americans if they cannot keep landing on Mars.

After more than half a year of tossing around, it is finally time to land on Mars. Ren Hong completed the latest connection with the "Avatar", this time is his 152nd connection.

Because today, a vanguard team will land on Pezos Heights to explore the battered outpost base and search for Skovo Alderaan, whose life and death are unknown, although there is little hope of survival.
