I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 382 When we were young, it was the most desperate time

Feiyun Space Center, Tianshui County, Southeast Prefecture.

Several huge anti-gravity spacecraft were quietly parked at the airport, their huge doors were all open, and sturdy mechanical arms were quickly unloading cargo.

Standard copper blocks were easily picked out by the robotic arm and then gently placed on a large truck that had been waiting nearby.

All of these copper blocks come from the moon. About half of them are mined by Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group, and the other half are mined by other mining companies.

The lunar mining industry is now developing in full swing. Hundreds of companies have set up mining bases and built mining factories on the moon. However, the anti-gravity spacecraft responsible for transportation between the earth and the moon are far from enough.

Naturally, everyone will start to share ships and maximize the utilization efficiency of spacecraft.

Therefore, there are now two cargo concentration points on Earth, one is the Feiyun Aerospace Science and Technology Center in Tianshui County, and the other is the Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group Aerospace Center in Jiangzhou.

Other lunar mining companies will transport the goods they need to send to the moon to these two centralized points, and then entrust Feiyun Technology's spacecraft to deliver the goods to the moon.

Feiyunke Group has the largest number of anti-gravity spacecraft and a large amount of spare capacity.

On the moon, if there is an anti-gravity spacecraft returning to Earth and there is excess transportation capacity, it will also inform other mining companies. If other mining companies have minerals that need to be transported back to Earth, they will also take the initiative to contact them.

In this way, two increasingly important distribution points were gradually formed: Tianshui County and Jiangzhou.

The speed of loading and unloading goods is very fast, and standardized operations have basically been achieved.

Similar to ship transportation, it is mainly based on standard container containers, which can greatly improve the efficiency of loading and unloading.

While loading cargo, the huge anti-gravity spacecraft was being charged by very thick charging cables connected to it.

These charging cables are several dozen centimeters in diameter, just like a python, and they charge at high voltage.

Ordinary charging technology simply cannot satisfy the appetite of this large anti-gravity spacecraft. Only the ultra-high voltage charging device developed by scientists can quickly charge this big guy.

Large anti-gravity spacecraft are all power-hungry and consume a lot of electricity.

It takes millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity to fully charge a large anti-gravity spacecraft, and the electricity bill for charging once is over a million.

One after another, the anti-gravity spacecraft are constantly busy. After the cargo is decorated and charged, they will quickly take off and return to the moon.

The transportation mission between the Earth and the Moon is becoming increasingly busy.

Especially recently, lunar bases and lunar factories have sprung up everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of people already live on the moon. A large amount of supplies must be transported to the moon every day. At the same time, there are also large amounts of iron ore, copper ore, rare earth ore, etc. on the moon that need to be transported back to Earth.

“Times are changing so fast!”

"My generation has truly witnessed the earth-shaking changes in our country."

In an office at the aerospace center, Li Yunfan looked at the busy scene outside and sighed.

Liu Fei and Qiao Dan on the side were listening quietly.

"I was born in the 70s, a time when life was very poor and difficult."

"My family is relatively well off, and my parents are both intellectuals. However, even for such a family, three meals a day is barely enough to fill our stomachs, and we can only eat meat during festivals."

"At that time, people basically walked to get around, and owning a bicycle was the dream of countless people, especially for people in rural areas, where bicycles were really big items."

Li Yunfan looked at the spaceship outside, and it seemed as if time was flowing backwards in his eyes, and his mind began to recall things that happened decades ago.

"Later, I was able to eat my fill, and eating meat was no longer a luxury."

"I grew up slowly, but when I was young, I was like countless other educated young people of that era. I was very confused and had low self-esteem. I deeply doubted myself and even our great motherland."

Li Yunfan suddenly turned to look at Liu Fei and Qiao Dan and said, "Do you know?"

“In fact, the biggest gap between us and the world was not in the late Qing Dynasty, nor in the 1950s and 1960s, but in the 1980s and 1990s!”

"How can this be?"

When Liu Fei heard this, he immediately said in disbelief,
"I know you don't believe it, but it's the truth."

"In that era, we, the educated youth, were very desperate. The huge contrast and comparison made us doubt our own lives."

Li Yunfan smiled and continued, "Do you know?"

"In those days, scientists who made missiles and conducted scientific research were not as good as those who sold tea eggs. Our monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan."

"At that time, many of my classmates and teachers would rather go abroad to wash dishes than come back, because washing dishes could earn more than $1000 a month, and dishes were very valuable in that era."

"Washing dishes for a month earns much more than a professor at our university earns in a year."

"What do you think we feel in our hearts?"

"We work so hard to study and do scientific research, but we are not even as good as the people who wash dishes, and we are much worse."

"Other people can earn more washing dishes in a month than we earn in a year, and they can live in a villa, drive a car, pay for air conditioning, eat meat every meal, and work alone to support a family of six and two dogs."

"If you haven't experienced that era, you can't understand the despair we felt at the time." "There are too many classmates and teachers around me who are trying their best to emigrate because the gap is so huge."

“It’s so big that it makes people despair!”

When Li Yunfan talked about it, his emotions fluctuated violently, and it seemed that even now he still felt upset when he thought about it.

"Is there such a big gap?" Qiao Dan asked, touching his head.

“It’s much bigger than you think!”

"At that time, people from foreign companies came to work in our country, and their salaries were hundreds or thousands of times higher than ours, so much so that they had to order us not to disclose their salary income information, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble."

"At that time, drivers from Hong Kong could easily buy houses in Pengcheng and support college students."

"They are just some drivers. They have no education and only know how to drive. But their income is much, much higher than that of us college students who worked so hard to get into college."

When he said this, Li Yunfan couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"this?"

After hearing this, Liu Fei and Qiao Dan finally lost their composure.

“The gap is just too big, too great.”

"It's OK for ordinary people not to know, but we educated youth know about it, and it's extremely painful after comparing ourselves to it."

"We doubt ourselves and think our nation is a rubbish nation. We doubt our culture and think it is our backward culture that has led to our backwardness and made us inferior to them."

"The intellectuals of our time were desperately trying to escape and were trying their best to emigrate."

"At that time, we all felt that we had no hope and the future was dark because the gap was so big that one was in heaven and the other was on earth."

Li Yunfan took a deep breath slowly. Whenever he thought of the past, his emotions would fluctuate greatly.

"Later, we developed better and better, faster and faster!"

“From bicycles to motorcycles to cars!”

"From making clothes and shoes, to slowly producing air conditioners, refrigerators, and then cars and machinery."

"We gradually caught up, we became richer and richer, and life started to get better and better."

"But a dozen or twenty years ago, we were still not confident. Various foreign brands were popular all over the country. At that time, eating a meal at KFC or McDonald's became an important symbol and sign of a well-off life in the city."

"hehe!"

"In fact, now it seems that these foods are not healthy at all, they are all junk food."

“When we were young, we never dared to imagine that one day we would be able to develop to the point we are now.”

"Even ordinary people like us can live in a nice house, have enough food and drink, and can afford a car."

“Now, we are even more amazing.”

"We are at the forefront of the world. We have truly entered the interstellar space age. We are mining resources and building bases on the moon. Our children can even travel to space and the moon."

When Li Yunfan said this, his face was filled with happiness and joy.

"do you know?"

"Many of my classmates who emigrated want to come back now."

"When they learned that I was going to Mars for an expedition, they were all extremely envious."

"They dream of going to other planets to explore extraterrestrial life one day."

Li Yunfan looked towards an open space not far away, where a huge anti-gravity spaceship was quietly parked.

Different from other busy anti-gravity spacecraft around, this spacecraft with the word "Flying Star" printed on it has a large number of scientists and engineers conducting the final inspection before takeoff.

It is the 'Feixing' anti-gravity spacecraft organized by Feiyun Technology to explore Mars.

"Time flies, time flies!"

"It's like a sea change, a huge change has taken place."

"None of us dared to believe what we have today, to imagine that we could stand on top of the world again."

"One day, we will even go to the interstellar universe. I believe that in the near future we may be able to truly go to the vast interstellar universe!"

Li Yunfan looked at the Feixing spacecraft, then at Liu Fei and Qiao Dan, and couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
