Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2509 Beyond the Lag
While netizens were discussing the matter extensively and even expressing anxiety that humanity was about to wage an alien war, aerospace experts and scientists from around the world did not consider the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement.

After all, in their view, if there really is a technologically advanced device on Mars that can easily shield Kyushu's technology, and even after launching so many Mars probes over the years, it can still remain undiscovered by humans, then the alien civilization on Mars must be far superior to the civilization on Earth.

How could such a civilization not have arrived on Earth much earlier?

Could it be that this alien civilization only arrived on Mars today, at this very moment?
While this possibility exists, the probability of it is estimated to be as low as one in a trillion.

Therefore, aerospace experts and scientists from various countries and regions around the world are speculating that Kyushu Xinghai Company may have discovered some special substances or detected something that small Mars rovers cannot detect. This is of great importance, which is why the live broadcast was interrupted.

Even within NASA, where the moon landing was already a success, some engineers speculated that Kyushu Xinghai Company might have secretly "shoved" an astronaut inside the Zhurong spacecraft in addition to sending three bionic robots to Mars.

At this very moment, the astronaut is preparing for humanity's first landing on Mars, and it's even possible that the astronaut has already left his shoe prints on the Martian surface.

However, Kyushu Star Sea Company did not keep everyone waiting for too long.

After a brief five-minute blackout, the live stream returned to normal.

However, the scene depicted was neither on the surface of Mars nor inside the Zhurong spacecraft, but rather in the press conference hall of the Kunlun City Aerospace Command Center.

Gu Qing, this legendary figure who is rarely seen, was present at the scene.

Although she was smiling and hadn't even spoken, she had already attracted countless reporters, who were raising their hands frantically, and photographers were snapping away.

However, Gu Qing ignored the reporters and instead addressed the camera in the live broadcast room, explaining: "Thank you for your attention to our Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's Zhurong Mars landing mission. The three bionic robots aboard the Zhurong have now begun their work. Because the work involves an important project of our company, in order to ensure the safety of the project and protect the intellectual property rights of the project from any form of infringement or spying, the live broadcast room has been switched to our interview hall. We hope that friends from all over the world can understand."

At this point, Gu Qing added with some emotion, "Our company has invested too many resources in the Mars project, and we really can't afford to lose money. But please rest assured, Kyushu Star Sea Company will update Mars Madness on the star map of the company's official website later."

Among them are photos and videos taken by three bionic robots, as well as some video footage remotely captured by our Blue Star engineers.

Of course, users of Lingjing Ecosystems, please be patient. After collecting enough data, Lingjing Ecosystems' "Cosmic Adventure" game will also be updated with a Mars expansion, and Lingjing Ecosystems' interstellar tourism project will also update some Mars maps, allowing everyone to enjoy not only the magnificent scenery of our planet but also the landscapes of other planets without leaving home.

The "free tourism" project that was initially launched during the Lingjing ecological update has now become a profitable special project. Ordinary scenery can be viewed for free, but for scenery on the moon and certain special scenic spots, users need to "buy tickets" for a better experience.

The revenue from these tickets will be transferred to the official account of the scenic area or the national institution to which the scenic area belongs, according to a certain percentage. As for the ticket revenue of the Lunar Scenic Area, a considerable portion will be allocated to Kyushu Star Sea Company.

Although Kyushu Spirit Realm Company and Star Sea Company are the same company, even family accounts need to be clear.

Even after Gu Qing explained the situation, the reporters at the scene still did not lower their raised arms.

Those excited gazes and unusual gestures sent chills down the spines of some viewers in the Kyushu Star Sea livestream.

However, Gu Qing did not have this idea.

To everyone's surprise, he actually started answering the reporters' questions in a serious manner.

"I addressed the question you raised at an internal seminar at Kyushu Technology. A long time ago, I said that we should be tolerant of future explorations, have bold ideas, and have the courage to give up everything."

Human exploration of outer space cannot be easily succeeded by spending hundreds of millions, billions, or tens of billions of dollars. I believe that all technological breakthroughs, including space exploration, require embracing a process of failure. Moreover, within our Kyushu Technology, we have actually had some projects that have temporarily failed, but we haven't publicized them extensively, nor have we dismissed project team members because of project failures.

"Regarding communication technology for the moon and Mars? As you all know, our Jiuzhou Technology has always focused on communication technology. We not only cultivate this field deeply, but also collaborate and integrate with more industries. For example, the 7G communication technology we are currently experimenting with in Kunlun City is a future communication technology involving a massive number of industries, and we have already achieved some results."

The Zhurong spacecraft, which landed on Mars this time, was able to achieve low-latency communication because part of its communication module was a 7G communication device…”

"Like the lunar landing, the Mars landing relies on breakthroughs in basic sciences such as aerospace materials and energy. It is precisely because of the achievements and resources obtained on the moon that we are able to look to Mars and land on it."

"We regret to inform you that neither Kyushu Starsea Company nor our Kyushu Technology has any plans to collaborate with other companies on Mars development. This is because the technologies and equipment we are currently using are classified as Kyushu Technology's proprietary technologies, and we cannot support other companies or organizations joining us at this time... Of course, I believe that with the advancement of science and technology, there will certainly be outstanding companies or organizations that will be able to land on Mars, and may even be able to begin formal Mars development before our Kyushu Starsea Company..."

"The Lunar Development Science and Technology Association operates in the name of science and with scientific principles, using genuine scientific research and industrial strength to acquire resources and development rights. All subsidiaries and project departments of Kyushu Technology abide by the association's regulations. Of course, we also welcome other members of the association to engage in in-depth cooperation and exchange with us..."

Although she hadn't appeared in front of the media for a long time, Gu Qing's performance in answering these reporters' questions was more skillful than before.
