It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 402 A Different Thought

“Everyone, after watching the entire live broadcast of Guangshen today, I want to talk about something different from other bloggers.

Because after watching it, I have a lot of things in my mind. America returns to the moon, and an unprecedented crisis breaks out at the International Space Station. China is responsible for the rescue. The rescue is not a simple round trip. It also has to go to the lunar space station for a circle. Then the Tiangong tourism project will be officially sold to the public and will officially start operation next year.

This series of events is so dense that any one of them is enough to make a video to talk about.

Just the price that the God of Light has set for the Light Armor tourism project is 500 million. I can make a -minute video to talk about it for you all.

Because this price is much lower than the lowest price I guessed, I expected it to be 50 million, and when I was thinking about the price before, I tried my best to simulate the thinking of the God of Light when making decisions.

Fifty million is very expensive for ordinary people, but for those who would consider and are willing to learn about space tourism, it is really not expensive at all.

This includes round-trip travel to the space station, food and lodging on the space station, and the souvenirs after the entire project are completed provide plenty of emotional value.

A hundred years from now, this thing will definitely be a precious relic in the history of human exploration of the universe.

The price of five million made me realize that there are still differences between the big guys.

The thinking logic of the God of Light is already at a higher level. He is not just thinking about the enterprise itself or the industry, but about the future of mankind.

I will make a special video later to explain it to you all in detail.

Today I want to talk about a point of entry that no one has found.

I hope this can give you a different perspective on thinking.”

A blogger on Bilibili who specializes in geopolitical videos held a live broadcast that evening. Because his content is relatively in-depth and he has predicted several major events in the past.

There is enough difference between this blogger and geopolitical talk shows like Yan San, so he does not have many fans on Bilibili, only a few hundred thousand, but they are all loyal fans.

As soon as he started the live broadcast, thousands of netizens who were so excited that they couldn't sleep flooded into the live broadcast room.

In the environment of Bilibili, 10,000 people is already a very impressive number.

Or is it a niche track like geopolitics?

“I would say it’s a trend, and this is a landmark event, and it’s a trend that’s been going on for a long time.

That is, China will gradually penetrate deeper into the territory that originally belonged to Europe and the United States, and more and more of the cake will be cut from Europe and the United States.

Since England became the empire on which the sun never sets, Germany, Russia and Japan have all tried in different ways to change the world system centered on England and America.

Germany used war, Russia used system, and Japan used economy.

Obviously all three failed.

Let me add a few more words here. The Plaza Accord in Japan was the biggest reason for their economic collapse, but Japan still gained something in return, so it was not a pure loss.

Neon suffered huge economic losses, but made some profit from cultural exports.

Let me put it this way, the reason why Neon is far superior to Goryeo in cultural output can be traced back to the Plaza Accord signed between Neon and America in 1985.

I know this is counter-intuitive, but it is the truth. Don't tell me about KPOP, increasing the export of Korean culture, and making Korean idols more famous around the world.

Goryeo's cultural output is an ineffective cultural output, a cultural output that floats on the surface but lacks core.

A very simple example is that China is able to export a large number of consumer brands to Southeast Asia and even the world, including Haidilao, Mixue, Heytea, etc. Japan has 711-Eleven, Uniqlo, Muji, etc. around the world.

What does Goryeo have? Even at the peak of its popularity, they were unable to produce a consumer brand with sufficient popularity.

Japan was similar before the 80s, but thanks to the Plaza Accord, Japanese culture began to be exported.

The Plaza Accord destroyed Japan's economy, but culturally helped the widespread expansion of Japanese culture around the world.

This is because the Plaza Accord led to an appreciation of the Japanese yen and a depreciation of the US dollar. Japan's economy did not collapse immediately after the signing of the agreement, but rather declined slowly over a long period of time.

In the period just after the Plaza Accord was signed, thanks to the appreciation of the Japanese yen, demand within Japan was unprecedentedly strong.

The strong demand has stimulated the global companies to design products targeting the Japanese market and according to the preferences of Japanese people.

When commodities become the carriers of culture, the spread of culture can last long enough and have sufficient influence.

Goryeo has no core because it lacks commodities to carry it.

I personally think that the most classic example here should be the automotive field. Everyone knows that Japanese cars used to dominate the world, and their position was even more solid than that of German cars.

When we look at new energy vehicles now, we find that new cars are released every now and then, and there are many awesome designs and many of the latest technologies that make everyone very excited. Foreign media and manufacturers are paying more and more attention to China's new cars.

This scene was also repeated in Neon after the Plaza Accord was signed.

Neon sports cars of this period became all the rage around the world and attracted a growing number of car collectors.

Thanks to the Plaza Accord, nominally intended to correct the trade deficit between Japan and America, the yen appreciated against the dollar and accelerated the growth of the bubble economy against the backdrop of low interest rates set by Japan's central bank.

This has led to unprecedentedly strong domestic demand in Japan.

Against this historical backdrop, Japanese car manufacturers, relying on their ever-expanding capital, developed a large number of different styles of sports cars.

The 90s was also the golden age of Japanese cars. During that period, the Japanese car brand was considered a brand comparable to Porsche worldwide, but even cheaper.

Did you think of China Automobile?

Nissan released Silvia and Cima in 1988, and Fairlady Z and Skyline GT-R in 1989. Even today, GTR is the dream car of many people.

Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc., they could squeeze toothpaste at that time and it was completely different from now, a generation of models could go for ten years without any revisions.

Japanese car companies back then were just like Chinese car companies today. They launched new models every year, and every model was a hit at the time.

When domestic products are exported abroad, the preferences of consumers in that country need to be considered during the design and production of foreign products. It is in this context that culture greatly expands its influence.

Therefore, the Plaza Accord helped Japan achieve cultural expansion. If you are familiar with the history of Japan's automobile expansion in the 1980s and 1990s, you will find that the path taken by Chinese automobile manufacturers today is not exactly the same, but it is about 70% similar.

Back to ourselves, we are now expanding in all areas you can think of and can't think of, including culture, economy, military, technology and so on.

They have tried various ways to stop this expansion in the past, but why have they failed?
I talked about this in a previous video. 22 years ago, many people thought that we were producing countries and developed countries were consuming countries.

If the consumer countries find other countries to rebuild a trade system and find other countries to replace us as producers, then we will be doomed.

It is precisely based on this kind of thinking logic that the infamous statement "now is the best time to surrender" came into being.

First of all, this logic is completely a vacuum spherical chicken. They need to pay a huge cost to rebuild the supply chain, endure the inflation of transferring the supply chain, and all developed countries need to unite and firmly support this strategic goal no matter who comes to power in the election.

Even if they could actually do it.

Even if they could do it, the combined population of these developed countries is only 10 billion, while there are 80 billion people in the world.

Their land area accounts for about 21% of the world's land area, so they are a minority.

Of course, some people think that developed countries are the main source of consumption power. The consumption power of these 10 billion people far exceeds that of the other 70 billion people. They are the core driving force of consumption. More than 70% of the world's trade orders come from the consumer markets of developed countries.

That’s right, but the current productivity has developed to the point where China’s productivity is sufficient to transform the world occupied by the remaining 70 billion people. Even if the production relations and production structure remain unchanged, we are able to transform the world.

This is also the reason why the Chinese have never been worried. What they want is peace and they want to slowly advance such a strategy.

So the current trend is that the Chinese are changing the world through their advantages in productivity, and the offensive in other areas essentially relies on productivity.

The connections between England, America, the Kangaroo Country, the Maple Leaf Country and New Zealand are far closer than the outside world thinks.

And in the past you can see that the pace of change has been getting faster and faster.

More and more countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America have found that the American model does not work because the operating costs are too high and they lack the resources or the quality of their population.

They rely on infrastructure to drive economic growth, which in turn expands domestic demand, and then look to China to buy goods after expanding domestic demand. They export resources.

This operating model is being accelerated as model projects in countries such as Cambodia, Laos and Peru are completed one after another.

You can even see that European countries are starting to approach us for infrastructure development.

Aren't America and his closest allies anxious? Do they really believe that time is on their side?
It should be noted that the increase in productivity and the narrowing of the technological gap brought about by global technology spillovers will only make the advantages of the 10 billion people in developed countries smaller and smaller.

This trend has been going on for twenty years.

I have always admired Kardashev's method of dividing civilizations based on energy utilization.

He believes that we can divide cosmic civilizations into three levels based on their energy acquisition and consumption capabilities:

The first level is to be able to control and utilize all the energy of the planet and its surrounding satellites. When we can use the resources of the moon, it means that we have officially entered this category.

The second level is to be able to collect the energy of the entire star system, that is, to be able to fully utilize the energy of the sun.

The third level is the ability to utilize the energy of the Milky Way system.

GDP, currency, total trade, these figures will fluctuate with financial fluctuations.

In my opinion, electricity consumption reflects this reality very well.

According to calculations by the United Nations Division for Sustainable Development - Department of Economic and Social Affairs, between 2000 and 2017, America's per capita electricity consumption fell by about 7%. This is based on statistics only on individual electricity consumption, excluding electricity consumption for industrial production.

Do Americans dislike electrical appliances? If we change this figure to third world countries, their per capita electricity consumption has doubled.

The statistical units of electricity are the same, and there is no way to cheat through exchange rate games or financial instruments. What this reflects is that the production structure brought about by technological diffusion is changing rapidly.

If anyone chooses to move manufacturing back to their home country, even if they really build a trade circle of developed countries with a billion-level, we will just play by ourselves, and at most bring a few smaller brothers, such as Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, to compensate for the extra two cents.

Even if they really did it, they would just give up the rest of the market to the Chinese for nothing, and this deal would be a huge profit for the Chinese.

So they won't do that.

In the past, America wanted to rely on its technological leadership and artificial intelligence to achieve the technological singularity and regain its leadership in productivity through artificial intelligence.

In order to achieve this strategic goal and introduce HBM technology, they are willing to do so even at the cost of loosening up China's chip technology.

In the past, allies believed that America could do it, and its engagement and cooperation with China were restrained.

With China flexing its muscles this time, do the allies really believe America can do it?
Are the allies really that die-hard?

I would put a big question mark on all of this.

For them, the worst future is that China breaks through first, and then its lead in productivity will be irreversible, and China may even consider not playing with them.

After expanding productivity by utilizing lunar and asteroid resources and artificial intelligence technology, I will build a new WTO of my own using Southeast Asia as a springboard.

At the beginning, we will focus on Northeast Asia, then expand slowly and allow new member states to join slowly.

So after watching this live broadcast, I realized that China's all-round output will be more rapid and resource utilization will be higher.

In the past, when we exported our infrastructure capabilities and exchanged them for minerals, we faced great potential risks.

It is possible to export infrastructure worth 1000 billion RMB, but only recover 500 billion.

In the future it will be one trillion, and 800 billion can be recovered.

The proposal of 13 years will expand rapidly at an unprecedented rate in 27 years.

The production capacity issues and investment risks that we worried about in the past will no longer be a problem.

This time, the golden age in the true sense is coming. In the past, the technological dividends brought by the God of Light were only popularized in a few industries, but this time, all the old Chinese talents can benefit from the dividends of infrastructure and production capacity output. "
