Chapter 441 Pragmatism
“Thank you to all the leaders and guests for the unveiling ceremony. Next, we will enter the final media question-and-answer session of the unveiling ceremony. Mr. Kang, please stay…”

Under the host's push, the guests walked off the stage one after another, and the remaining Kang Chi walked to the podium consciously.

As the boss of the group, Kang Chi should have spoken beforehand, but Kang Chi thought it was too much trouble.

It is better to put your speech and media interviews together instead of thinking of the topic yourself. Besides, the questions from reporters are definitely what everyone is most concerned about. Just highlight that you are fine, and I am fine too.
Looking at the large circle of reporters below the stage, carrying cameras and looking at him with shining eyes, Kang Chi was no longer as nervous as before. He smiled and looked around, then nodded gently and said:
"First of all, thank you all for coming all the way to attend the unveiling ceremony of Daming Deep Space. Now, all media reporters can start asking questions in the order of the staff, but each media can only ask one question."

As soon as Kang Chi finished speaking, Su Shanshan, who got the first question number, raised her hand. When Kang Chi's eyes turned to her, she immediately asked, "Excuse me, Academician Kang, what is the main research and development direction of Daming Deep Space in the future? Do you have any specific plans?"

"For the time being, we plan to build a more efficient, convenient and economical round-trip system between the earth and the sky. This is actually our first step towards the stars. As for the main research and development direction in the future, it should focus on the research and development of spacecraft, space construction equipment, and space mining equipment."

Susan actually asked two questions in one breath, but Kang Chi didn't mind. After all, she was a reporter for China News and an old acquaintance.

Kang Chi's answer also contained many key words, which made Susan quite satisfied. Just when she subconsciously wanted to ask more questions, the next reporter couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Kang, can you tell us what kind of round-trip system it is?"

"Sorry, this is our business secret. It is not convenient to disclose it for the time being. Next one."

"..."

"Mr. Kang, you just mentioned space construction and space development equipment. At the same time, the name of Daming Deep Space also contains the word 'development'. Does this mean that you will plan to establish an extraterrestrial colony?"

"I think the word 'colonization' is not appropriate. Colonies usually refer to areas that are economically exploited, culturally invaded, and politically enslaved by the colonial power. But we haven't discovered extraterrestrial civilizations yet, so how can we talk about colonization? So to be more precise, it should be about expanding our territory, expanding our space territory, and establishing permanent extraterrestrial bases."

"Wow--"

As soon as Kang Chi finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

In fact, after society entered the industrial age, the role of land area in promoting social and economic development began to become weaker and weaker, and the cooperation and division of labor between people became closer and closer. More than half of the world's population lives in cities, and a large number of rural areas are in decline and land is abandoned. Not only did we not expand due to economic development and scientific and technological progress, but we have shown a trend of contraction...

Therefore, the term "expanding territory" seems to have not been mentioned for a long time, but the Chinese people have a passion for land that is engraved in their bones. They get very excited when they hear that they want to expand their territory...

The feeling is probably the same as building a house in the countryside where you can only live in it for a few days all year round.

Even if it's useless, we must have it!

The key point is that this cake was drawn by this man who has repeatedly created miracles.
It tastes even better!

No one doubted whether Kang Chi could fulfill his promise. Even if there were doubts, they only doubted the time and thought that Kang Chi would probably have to spend his whole life to fulfill his promise.

After the scene calmed down a bit, the next reporter quickly spoke up: "SpaceX of the United States plans to send 15 people to Mars in the next 20 to 8 years and build a Martian colony where people can live and reproduce on Mars. Are you targeting Mars like Musk?"

"Well...if there are good things on Mars, maybe in the future, but for now, I still prefer to develop the moon. Another point I want to emphasize is that the concepts of our Daming Deep Space and SpaceX may be slightly different..."

Kang Chi paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued to explain: "I am a pragmatist. For me, sending people into space is just a necessity in the process of interstellar development, not the ultimate goal."

"I prefer to obtain more resources through extraterrestrial development so as to better build and protect our Earth, because I think our Earth is far from being crowded and bad enough to need to be 'escaped'." "At least looking at the entire solar system, we can't find a place more habitable and comfortable than Earth. Even the most desolate desert on Earth is safer and more comfortable than Mars. Why do we have to waste so many resources and go to Mars to be self-sufficient and reproduce? Isn't that just eating without suffering? Wouldn't it be better to use that energy to build and protect our Earth?"

"In short, unless the Earth has been built and protected very well, and technology has advanced to the point where we can live happily in the universe, or it's like in a sci-fi movie, where our Earth is going to explode... Otherwise, I don't recommend it, and I don't agree with any large-scale interstellar immigration plan. Of course, space tourism is still possible, but there's really no need to endure the hardship of living there for a long time."

Before Kang Chi expressed his ideas, the entire venue was immersed in the atmosphere of space romantic idealism. Everyone had a preconceived notion that Kang Chi was a person full of science fiction romanticism like Musk.

But Kang Chi's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone, causing the scene to fall into silence.

But the problem is that they couldn't find any reason to refute it at the moment...

Less than two hours after the unveiling ceremony of Daming Deep Space, the entire network was like a depth bomb was dropped, and various news with Kang Chi and Daming Deep Space as keywords quickly became the headlines of major platforms.

While everyone was excited about the big picture that Kang Chi had painted, they also had a heated discussion on the topic of "whether it is necessary to carry out interstellar migration."

"I feel that Mr. Kang's view is still too conservative. The end of the earth may not be predictable in advance like in science fiction movies. What if there is a sudden explosion or a sudden invasion by aliens? Wouldn't we be wiped out at that time?"

"I agree with Mr. Kang's point of view. I don't care whether the earth will end or not. This is not something that people like us who earn 5,000 yuan should worry about. What I care about is whether Mr. Kang's aerospace work has changed the lives of ordinary people like us. Can I have two chicken legs on the dinner table tonight? Even if it gives me one more bar of signal on my cell phone, that's fine..."

"Update, Musk's current slogan is to migrate 20 million people to Mars within 8 years, the figure is outdated. Funny face.gif"

"It's always good to have a dream. How many people laughed at Ma Sheng in the beginning, but what happened in the end? They were all slapped in the face. Success belongs to those who have dreams and are willing to fight for them!"

"Haha, I'm afraid his dream is just to shout slogans and reap profits."

"I still think we should take a long-term view. Even though the adventurers in the Age of Exploration had no maps, no goals, and could die at any time, they still sailed across the oceans in wooden boats to explore new worlds.

Without such courage and ideals, let alone the New World, humans would not even know that the earth is round. Moreover, all the great people who have accomplished great things in history have a bit of romanticism. Mr. Kang, you must understand romanticism. "
