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

Chapter 404 Diverting Attention

"Compared to mining from the vast Asian, African and Latin American countries, the asteroid mining proposed by the God of Light will actually have less resistance.

It is nothing more than being barked at in the media by those countries that have no chance to obtain resources in space, and the major mainstream media publishing some views on China's threat in the field of space, nothing more than that. "

A large part of the highlights of his live broadcast comes from the live broadcast and the effect of the collision of opinions during the live broadcast, whether this effect can make the audience think or bring fun.

But compared with those users who are only focused on having fun and just repeating things mindlessly, this blogger can refute with reason and evidence, and if he is really wrong, he will admit his mistake obediently.

“I certainly know it’s not going to be easy, so I’m talking about minimizing the losses, not saying there’s no loss.

Including the example I gave earlier, I said that we only need to recover 800 billion if we invest 1 trillion, and I didn’t even mention making money.

That's because of the risks you mentioned.

What I mean by cultural expansion is the ability to reduce resistance. For example, I originally mined in one hundred places, and among these one hundred places, twenty were against me. Now the number has decreased from twenty to ten.

Because public opinion is friendly to China, it means it is more difficult to incite opposition, and the probability of such incidents will be reduced.”

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I have no problem with that. I'm off the mic now."

The blogger breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, next one."

"***, wcnm, why do we have to invest 1 trillion and then only get 800 billion back.

Why should you be satisfied with this?

What the brother just said is very good. Our problem now is that we have the strength to show our sword but not the courage to do so.

Attack hard internally and be submissive externally.

Why can’t we invest one trillion and get back two trillion?
This is a typical capitulationist mentality."

The next grumpy old man who came up started with a lecture on the quintessence of Chinese culture, and scolded all the confused friends in the live broadcast room so hard that they woke up immediately.

"It's so scolding!"

"I think this anchor deserves to be scolded"

"Really? A whole lot of capitulationist thinking."

"Why can't we show our swords? Why should we give money to others?"

"We are now catching up with America. The Americans can dig, but we can't?"

"The anchor is obviously contradictory. He says he wants to counterattack, and the offensive is in full swing, and the situation is very good. But when it comes to this, he is extremely conservative. He thinks that the smallest loss is a win, right? If he loses, he will be numb to win."

The anchor looked at the barrage and knew that the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was not favorable to him. The person who connected to the microphone was the representative of the audience. The other party was in high spirits. Overwhelming the other party meant that he could calm the rhythm in an instant and make the audience agree with his point of view.

“Don’t curse, this is a civilized live broadcast room.

Let me ask you a question first. If something like this happens, then you will travel thousands of miles to attack the other side, right?"

"No." After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed not possible, because both Africa and South America are out of reach for China.

Moreover, if others simply confiscate your mines, you will attack them, which will cause panic in all Asian, African and Latin American countries and they will refuse to do business with you.

Europe and the United States are banding together in the front, and the third world countries are banding together in the back. How can China maintain such a large industrial production capacity by that time?
Who will digest it?
Such simple logic was quickly understood by the audience on the microphone, and he subconsciously objected.

"Then how do you draw your sword?" asked the blogger.

"Garrant, like the Americans and the French.

If you dare to confiscate it, I will support the opposition to take the position."

“First of all, the resistance to this matter is extremely great.

I have some knowledge about overseas military presence. France is the country with the greatest influence on Africa among all these Western countries.

Uranium mines and nuclear power generation projects throughout Africa are mostly controlled by France, and nuclear power and important raw materials such as uranium, cobalt, and manganese are operated by French companies to varying degrees or in different forms. The establishment of the African franc zone has enabled France to directly control the financial markets of these countries.

Their interests in Africa can be said to be comprehensive, thanks to France's huge military presence in Africa and a large number of military interventions in history.

The BBC has previously reported in detail that in the 30 years from the s to the s alone, they carried out more than military interventions, equivalent to once a year.

Let me put it this way, France in Africa is just as you would expect, it has the strength and courage to show its sword.

But you have to understand that this is a coincidence based on a special historical opportunity. Thanks to the wave of African independence that began in 1958, they signed a large number of agreements allowing France to have troops stationed in these countries.

But now, their troop numbers have been decreasing, and most countries have launched protests to drive out the French troops.

Like the Americans we like to talk about the most, they began stationing troops in Niger in 2013 and were driven out in 2024.

Both America and France have been forced to shrink their military forces. Now China is expanding. It's not that it can't do so, but by doing so you are going against the trend.

The costs and benefits are not proportional at all.

Do you know where our only overseas military base is?"

"do not know."

“In Djibouti, our direct investment in Djibouti alone exceeds US$10 billion.

Djibouti is extremely short of natural resources.

Even a country like this has to spend more than 10 billion to have a base that can accommodate 400 people. If it were any other country, you can imagine how much it would cost.

The essence behind this is that until we have the intention to build a system like America's, this will only be a losing business.

In my estimation, I would invest 1 trillion and get back 800 billion. If it were you, you would invest 1.5 trillion and get back 1 trillion.

The more you show your sword, the more you lose.

Of course, I do not reject the idea of ​​showing off one's sword, but showing off one's sword does not mean going to places as far away as Africa or Latin America. Instead, we should cultivate Southeast Asia first and drive out the Japanese and American forces in Southeast Asia.

This place is connected by land, has sufficient historical roots, and has a large number of Chinese people. Managing Southeast Asia well is more important than anything else."

When the data was presented, the other party was speechless.

"Blogger, I want to refute you. You just said that Goryeo has no brands. Aren't Samsung and Hyundai brands like that?"

“These are brands, but their global popularity is not due to Goryeo culture but to the products themselves.

I didn't mention Toyota and Honda in Japan when I gave examples before. Samsung's ability to beat other consumer electronics brands in the global consumer electronics brand market is also due to their technological reserves and America's efforts to hinder the expansion of other brands.

Once it is linked to culture, the Korean brand becomes unremarkable.”

"You just mentioned about capacity output. This should only benefit coastal cities. Inland provinces can only get a limited share of the pie, right?"

"Of course not, this will be something that will benefit all provinces and everyone.

You know, Akkarin Province has almost no technology companies, no famous companies, and no good universities, but that does not prevent it from reaching a middle-income level. Its per capita GDP is more than 1 US dollars, which is higher than Thailand.

You should know that whether it is land area, climate or per capita resources, it is far superior to Akarin Province.

For an agricultural country like New Zealand, agricultural products account for half of its exports, but it is still a high-income country.

Romania, the poorest country in the European Union, has a slightly higher per capita income than China.

Essentially, as long as information and population can flow freely and unimpeded within a group, the poorest economy in the group will eventually catch up. Because the median per capita income of any country is roughly the income of a qualified worker. As long as the population can flow freely, the population in the poorest areas will tend to flow into high-income areas, eventually leveling the per capita income of the entire group.

In other words, the benefits of capacity output will be enjoyed by all Chinese people.

It’s just a matter of early and late.”

"For a long time, China has hoped to dispel the Western-centric view on a global scale through its own Chinese storytelling. They have never been as close to success as they are today. In a sense, the dispelling of Western-centric view is based on the short-sightedness of this White House of businessmen. They have given China the best technological showcase on a global scale. If it were the previous White House, they would never make such a stupid and short-sighted decision."

No one cares about Americans returning to the moon, not even Americans themselves.

Open the newspapers, TV stations and social media, and they are all discussing how exaggerated the Chinese rescue was.

It is no exaggeration for traditional media forces led by the New York Times to describe the situation as being like a bereaved family. The articles are full of accusations and dissatisfaction with the White House, as well as helplessness over the fall of the American country on the top of the mountain.

Foreigners from different regions, different classes, different growing environments and educational backgrounds have completely different views on this matter.

People in many Asian, African and Latin American countries envy China's progress in science and technology from the bottom of their hearts, and want to find out how China did it.

Of course there is one exception, and that is India. They are extremely dissatisfied with Musk's attempt to shift the blame to India.

Boeing finally passed the blame to us that time, why are they doing the same thing this time?

"It is absolutely unacceptable that American is trying to shift the blame for its own manufacturing decline onto other innocent countries. Even if it is finally confirmed that the materials used for repairs are manufactured by DuPont Chemical India, they will be widely used on the International Space Station and have been approved by all inspection links, which have nothing to do with India."

What was beyond the expectations of the Indian media was that many Indian engineers were also involved in the inspection process.

When the rescued astronauts landed at Pudong International Airport, they expressed their gratitude to China and their relief at escaping death through Instagram or Twitter.

"This is truly an unforgettable experience. I am very grateful to CNSA for the rescue. The only regret is that I was not able to see the Light Armor in person."

"Thanks to CNSA and the Chinese astronauts who came to take charge of the rescue work. I hope that the next time we meet will be on the Guangjia."

Among these astronauts, only the French astronaut believed that he would have another chance to board the Light Armor in his lifetime, while the other astronauts felt a little regretful.

As for the Japanese astronaut drifting in space, NASA is in close communication with Japan's space agency on how to rescue him. The Chinese side has made it clear that I will not rescue this person. This stage cannot be performed by only my family, so I'll give this performance opportunity to you.

"So how are they planning to rescue the Japanese astronaut? I took a look and he should only be able to hold on for another ten days at most." Lin Jia was very curious. To be more precise, netizens across the country are now very curious about whether the Japanese astronaut can be rescued.

In fact, Japan didn't want to save him. It hoped that all of Japan would drift in the escape capsule with the embarrassed astronaut and become a cosmic tombstone.

And if the Japanese Space Agency had not communicated with NASA, NASA would have been happy for this matter to have not happened.

There must be someone up there.

But after much consideration, Japan still decided that it could be saved.

"I guess we should wait for the Falcon to send the Dragon spacecraft up and then slowly dock it. Ten days will be enough," said Chen Yuanguang.

After listening to this, Lin Jia was a little disappointed: "It's boring. I thought the Japanese would stay in the sky forever."

Chen Yuanguang asked: "Why do you think so?"

Lin Jia said: "If Furukawa Satoshi becomes a permanent space tombstone in space, then this incident will be mentioned again and again in the future. The Japanese astronaut betrayed his loyalty and robbed others of their chance to escape by escaping first.

Not all countries' public opinion is as easily distorted as China's. The bad things the Japanese do should not be attributed to all Japanese, and the good things they do should be attributed to how civilized they are. However, the bad things the Chinese do should be attributed to all Chinese people.

Even if the person died, Neon would definitely want to bring the escape capsule back to rest in peace. They don't want this to become a permanent burden for them. You know, the International Space Station may need to send people to repair it, or to recover it. Almost every time someone is sent up there, Neon will be whipped.

But I am Chinese, and I definitely wish he would stay in the sky forever."

"What you said makes sense. It's a pity that we have already returned. Otherwise, we should have installed an electromagnetic cannon on the Changkong and pushed the escape pod to a farther location, making it impossible for Neon to rescue it even if we wanted to." Chen Yuanguang said.

Lin Jia continued, “By the way, I saw Musk tweeted again, saying he wants to do a podcast with you.”

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Yes, I guess it's about commercial spaceflight again.

Then, it is probably the same old thing again, saying that only through joint efforts can mankind enter the space age, and that we must make the technology of room-temperature superconductivity public.

They may feel that this thing has locked their technological ceiling, and if they don’t make a breakthrough, they will be passive in every aspect.”

"Musk shouldn't be so naive as to think that he can convince you to disclose your technology with just a few words. Besides, this matter is not up to you alone," said Lin Jia.

"Of course I'm not that naive. It's just a show to divert attention."
