Chapter 403: The Privatization of Mars
Chapter 403: Mars' privatization
Two months later, "City of Starry Sky" launched a heavy blow and officially launched a generation of computer chips called "Heart of Starry Sky".
This computer chip has just been released, which has caused a huge response in the international market. What shocked them was not only because of the performance of the chips that far surpassed the United States, but also because of lower energy consumption and lower prices. People all know that "City of Stars" has begun to extend their hands to the traditional advantage areas of the United States.
"Starry City" adjusts its strategy and begins to attack the United States' advantageous industries, and the launch of "Starry Heart" is just the beginning. When the market has not yet completely digested the shock to them by the "Starry Heart" bringing them, "Starry City" attacked again and launched an epoch-making product - Starry Mobile.
In Starry Sky mobile phones, there are many functions, which are completely a small computer that can be carried with you. The promotional slogan of "Starry Sky City" is very attractive to this product, that is: the safest mobile phone, you never have to be afraid of being eavesdropped by others, the most convenient mobile phone can talk freely even if you are underground, the signal is stable, there is no communication blind spot on the earth, the strongest battery mobile phone, once charged, can talk continuously for one month.
Currently, mobile phones on the market have signal blind spots, and the battery of the mobile phone is too poor, so everyone is a little dissatisfied with the mobile phone products on the market. After hearing that the latest mobile phones from "Starry City" were launched, they were very interested.
"Starry City" began to secretly negotiate with major telecom operators. After giving up some of the benefits and intimidated them, "Starry City" finally reached a cooperation agreement with most telecom operators in the world. In this agreement, electromagnetic communication and spiritual communication are allowed to coexist, and each other must not be suppressed.
So after "Starry City" solved some problems, the two new products were stolen as soon as they were launched, which caused a brief outage, which caught Liu Hui off guard. In his impression, "Starry City" used to sell well, because it was an exclusive business and others had to buy it. But now, there are a large number of substitutes to use whether it is a computer chip or a smartphone. Why are the sales of these two products so popular?
What Liu Hui didn't know was that because "Starry City" has been insisting on the high-quality route for many years, each of their products was very perfect and very practical. Over time, the products of "Starry City" have become synonymous with reliable quality. Once "Starry City" launches any new product, there will be a climax of buying. This is the concrete reflection of the good reputation effect that "Starry City" has worked hard to manage over the years.
When the latest computer chips and smartphones appeared on the market, competitors immediately obtained samples of these products. When they tested these samples, they were all stunned. Because the performance of these two products has far exceeded the performance of their products. Under the current market competition conditions, their products will be quickly eliminated. The only way is to speed up the upgrade of their own products, so as to regain the lost market.
So these large companies immediately increased their investment and began to develop the latest products in order to surpass "Starry City" in product performance so as to regain lost consumers. But what they didn't know is that "Starry City" has been watching the progress of their product research and development. As long as their product research has the latest results, "Starry City" will immediately upgrade its product performance, so that this product can always remain ahead, leaving the big investment of competitors without profit until it finally goes bankrupt.
Liu Hui looked at the good development of "Starry City" and felt that it was quite comfortable. On this day, the King of Yue came to his office and reported to him about his work.
King Yue has always served as Liu Hui's assistant mayor. In the management of "Starry City", Liu Hui usually only focuses on the big direction and then handed over the specific matters to King Yue to handle. After a year of operation, Liu Hui found that King Yue was doing better and better in the position of assistant mayor, and he showed good management level several times in cooperating with Liu Hui's actions. Everything on "Starry City" is in order, and there is a lot of effort from King Yue.
Since the change of family and later getting married with Pingping, King Yue's personality has changed drastically. Not only is he serious and responsible at work, but he is also quite self-disciplined in his private life. King Yue will go home on time to accompany his wife every day whenever he does not work overtime every day. Even if he occasionally attends some large-scale cocktail parties, he will bring Pingping with him. During the entire cocktail party, he ignored the women who came forward to chat with him and showed the role of a peerless and good man. No matter who sees King Yue's appearance now, he will never think that he was a bad person before, who can't be more bad.
Since Pingping got married to King Yue, she has stopped showing up and is a housewife at home wholeheartedly. She devotes all her attention to the family and takes good care of King Yue's daily life. Not long ago, Pingping was pregnant with King Yue's child, which made them overjoyed. Looking at the family formed by King Yue and Pingping, Liu Hui occasionally felt jealous.
"Fourth brother, why do you think of my office today?" Liu Hui said with a smile.
"Mr. Mayor, I have something to report to you." King Yue said in a concise manner.
Liu Hui was a little depressed. Since becoming the assistant to the mayor, King Yue has become much more restrained in front of him. As long as he has not gotten off work, he looks like he is doing business. Liu Hui also said that he has several times, but King Yue responded to him with the allusion of distinction between public and private. King Yue believes that if there is a situation where public and private are unclear in management, then there will be big problems. He himself should set an example for distinction between public and private.
Liu Hui said: "What's the matter?"
King Yue said: "The US ambassador to "Starry City" came to my office this morning and handed me a letter from the US government in person. In the letter, the US government asked us to give a reasonable explanation of what is happening on Mars." After that, King Yue put a letter in front of Liu Hui.
"City of Starry Sky" is transforming Mars, and the noise is really big. Liu Hui also knew that he could not completely hide it from the United States, but he didn't expect that the other party would send a public letter directly. He did not look at the official letter on the table and said, "Fourth Lao, Mars is the top priority of our next work and will be our home in the future. We have paid a very big price to transform Mars. In this case, how do you think we should deal with the American questioning?"
King Yue said: "There is too much movement on Mars. After the United States knows it, it means that people all over the world will know that we are transforming Mars, and that we may face pressure from the whole world. With the increasing population of Earth, a developed Mars that can make people live will make everyone jealous. In this case, we should take a firm attack, break the fantasy of those who want to get something for nothing, and declare Mars as our private planet. No one or organization shall infringe on the interests of Mars, otherwise we will face our direct force strike."
Liu Hui thought for a while and said, "Your thinking is good. We are not the time when we were weak before. We have a strong say. If we declare Mars privately, then they really have nothing to say except protest. In addition, we have blocked outer space. If the spacecraft on Earth wants to fly out of the earth, we must go through our consent. In this way, we will not be afraid of those countries making trouble."
King Yue said: "Mr. Mayor, do you want me to reply to them like this?"
Liu Hui said: "Don't reply specifically to the US government, you can hold a press conference immediately. At this press conference, you announce that our "Starry City" has begun to transform Mars and will immigrate from Earth to Mars in the future. It will officially announce that Mars is our private property. Any individual and organization who dares to invade our private property is our enemy and will be wiped out by us."
King Yue was stunned and said, "Mr. Mayor, don't you participate in this press conference in person?"
Liu Hui smiled and said, "I won't participate. You are my assistant to the mayor. Your words represent what I mean. And I have worked hard for so many years. Shouldn't I relax for a while?"
A week later, King Yue, the assistant mayor of "Starry City", officially held such a press conference. At the press conference, King Yue told the media around the world that "Starry City" had begun to transform Mars and briefly introduced some of the transformation of Mars. Then he announced that Mars was privately owned by "Starry City". No one or organization should do the idea of Mars, otherwise he would face the devastating blow of "Starry City".
The whole world was surprised to learn that the "City of Starry Sky" had begun to transform Mars. When humans had not even established a lunar base, how could "City of Starry Sky" go to transform Mars? Before their shock could be calmed down, "City of Starry Sky" announced the private ownership of Mars and issued a tough warning.
So after the declaration of "City of Stars" was issued, it suddenly triggered public opinion in the world. Some organizations began to show resentment. They believed that Mars belongs to all mankind, not owned by "City of Stars". They called on everyone in the world to protest and demanded that "City of Stars" turn Mars into the home of all mankind, rather than to become a private garden of "City of Stars".
Some radical organizations began to organize teams to protest, protesting that "Starry City" would make a lot of money from their own country, and then use this money to develop Mars. In the end, "Starry City" turned Mars transformed with their hard-earned money into private property, which they would never tolerate. They began to call on the whole world to stop buying "Starry City" goods and firmly resist the rapid expansion of "Starry City", and said that the behavior of "Starry City" was hegemony in the new century.
With the help of these radical organizations, the protests against the "Starry City" were one after another around the world, and it seemed to be huge. Although his products were facing the danger of being boycotted, Liu Hui was not nervous at all. Because he knew that the products of "Starry City" had long penetrated into all aspects of countries around the world, and these products themselves have become part of the world, and the world cannot do without it. How could it be boycotted?
"City of Starry Sky" provides the world with a huge amount of cheap electricity every year, and has accounted for more than 50% of the world's electricity market. Because of the use of cheap electricity in "City of Starry Sky", most countries have closed domestic thermal power plants with higher pollution and nuclear power plants with higher risk, because this can not only reduce their domestic environmental pollution, but also reduce their production costs. You must know that the price of cheap electricity in "City of Starry Sky" is less than one-fifth of its own power generation cost. If a country is really confused and announced that it will boycott the goods of "City of Starry Sky", then "City of Starry Sky" just stops sending cheap electricity to them, the economies of these countries will collapse quickly.
"Starry City" does not have the only trump card of cheap electricity. In some coastal countries and countries with severe desertification, "Starry City" provides them with a huge amount of freshwater resources every year. These freshwater resources are the greatest guarantee for those countries to get rid of the water shortage crisis, making their own seawater desalination dead in half and they can only rely on the seawater desalination technology of "Starry City". So from this perspective, "Starry City" has actually firmly tied the necks of these countries. As long as they have any abnormal movements, just stopping freshwater supply will make them feel unhappy.
The electric cars in "City of Stars" have been sold well all over the world, and a large number of oil cars have been replaced by electric cars. People have already felt the convenience and speed brought to them by electric cars. Not only does it not pollute the environment, but the travel cost is also very low, and it has long become people's first choice for automobile products. From the perspective of their own enjoyment, no one will put aside electric cars and return to the era of seriously polluted oil cars.
Also, "City of Starry Sky" has completely monopolized the world's pharmaceutical market. Basically, all pharmaceutical products are produced by "City of Starry Sky". As long as "City of Starry Sky" stops producing these pharmaceutical products, the whole world will soon become medicine-free.
Liu Hui has so many trump cards in his hand, so even if the products that can be replaced by cosmetics, health products, underwear and stockings, etc. are boycotted, most of his products are irreplaceable. As long as countries that recognize this fact, they will make cautious judgments. Now it is not that "Starry Sky City" is afraid that the whole world will boycott him, but that the whole world is afraid that "Starry Sky City" will not produce products, otherwise their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes immediately.
Sure enough, these parades just shouted slogans to vent their depression. After the parade, they immediately returned to the factory and continued to produce equipment and instruments that were about to be exported to the "Starry City".
After the "City of Starry Sky" announced the ownership of Mars, although it caused some trouble in the world, it finally calmed down. For most people on Earth, their own work is more important, and Mars is too far away from them.
Although the world has calmed down for the time being, some countries are still dissatisfied. They secretly launched several satellites, wanting to land on Mars and leave some marks on Mars. At that time, they can use these marks to occupy a piece of territory on Mars. But what they did not expect was that all the satellites they launched were missing when they were about to leave Earth's orbit, and they could not find the reason for their satellites to disappear.
After several consecutive failures, these countries finally figured it out that since the "City of Starry Sky" has begun to transform Mars, it means that the space technology of "City of Starry Sky" is already very developed. They must have set up a net of heaven and earth on the earth. Those aircraft that want to land on Mars cannot fly out of the orbit of the earth at all, so they are just doing useless work. Since they cannot break through the space of "City of Starry Sky" in a short period of time, they can only temporarily stop and make a long-term plan.

At this time, the Mars base used the materials transported by Liu Hui to Mars to build a factory for producing special mixed gases at the two hundred strategic strongholds he had selected. After careful debugging, these two hundred large gas factories began to start construction, and the special mixed gases produced were continuously discharged into the Martian atmosphere.
After these special mixed gases enter the Martian atmosphere, violent chemical reactions begin to occur, which then increases the temperature in the air. With the continuous discharge of mixed gases, the temperature around these gas factories begins to rise significantly and quickly breaks through the zero degree Celsius level.
At this time, the ice in the permafrost layer under these strategic strongholds began to melt into water, and was squeezed out of the surface by gravity, and began to flow on the surface, flowing towards the low-lying terrain. Slowly, they would gather into streams.
Next, countless streams of this kind began to appear, and they gradually gathered together to form small rivers. They either flowed directly into depressions to form lakes, or directly into the primitive sea, replenishing water sources for the primitive sea.
With the addition of these fresh water sources, the water storage capacity of the primitive sea began to increase significantly. This aggravates the evaporation of water vapor, causing the content of water vapor in the atmosphere to continue to increase. Then, after wind and rain, these water vapors turn into rainwater and land on the surface of Mars, and then start a new round of circulation.
The Mars base began to electrolyze a large amount of seawater to separate out a huge amount of oxygen and hydrogen, which was stored, while oxygen was directly discharged into the atmosphere to adjust the gas ratio in the atmosphere.
In this way, the Mars base began to constantly transform the Mars environment. Slowly, the temperature on the Mars surface continued to rise, the ice cubes in the frozen soil layer underground in Mars began to thaw continuously, and a large number of ice cubes in the North and South Poles of Mars also began to melt. More and more water sources flowing out of the surface, resulting in more and more water flowing into the primitive sea. Now, the obvious outline of the primitive ocean can be seen from space.
In the gas components of the Martian atmosphere, the content of oxygen and nitrogen is constantly increasing, while the content of those toxic gases has begun to decline continuously. The work of artificially manufacturing the Martian ozone layer has also gone very smoothly, and 10% of the total volume has been completed.
The environment on Mars has been initially improved, so algae, fungi and bryophytes that have been genetically modified have begun to be planted on Mars' oceans and on the surface.
At the beginning, the survival rate of these plants was very low, with less than 0.1% of plants able to survive. However, with the continuous transformation of Mars' environment, the survival rate of these plants has become higher and higher, and now it has exceeded 5%. Looking from the sky, small pieces of blue areas can be seen in the Martian ocean, and these areas are areas with high survival rates of algae plants. On the surface of land, the survival rate of fungi and bryophytes is still very low, but it still has not exceeded 1%. However, near the Mars base and the 200 strategic strongholds, due to sufficient oxygen and water sources, the surface of those places is full of fungi and bryophytes, and it looks full of vitality.
Judging from the feedback from the supercomputer "Solar System Simulator", the Mars transformation plan has been going very smoothly and there are no major problems. However, with the deepening of Mars transformation, some large factories are about to be established on Mars, and then there will be a lot of materials to be transported from Earth to Mars. At that time, it will be time for Liu Hui to appear again, but this will be at least next year, and it is only under preparation now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night, Liu Hui was sleeping soundly at home. Suddenly, a mysterious fluctuation came from his mind. He woke up suddenly, and then he felt the familiar fluctuation of Xiao Hei.
Liu Hui was ecstatic. Xiao Hei, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up. It had completed its ultimate evolution and reached its ultimate form. Liu Hui had already felt an incomparable powerful force from Xiao Hei.
Liu Hui stood up and woke Hu Xian'er up. Hu Xian'er saw Liu Hui's joyful look and asked, "Buffalo, have you had any good dreams? Otherwise, why are you so happy at the third update in the middle of the night?"
Liu Hui put on his clothes quickly and said, "Xian'er, come with me. I want to take you to witness a miracle today."
Hu Xian'er was stunned, but she still put on her clothes soon. Xiao Hei had evolved. Liu Hui felt that it was necessary to let Hu Xian'er see Xiao Hei's strength, so that if there was anything in the future, he would have a good deal of each other. Hu Xian'er had already gained Liu Hui's absolute trust, so besides Liu Hui's plane trading device could not be told to her, it was time for Hu Xian'er to know about it.
Liu Hui opened the window of the room and said, "Xian'er, come with me."
After saying that, Liu Hui jumped out of the window, while Hu Xian'er flew lightly in the air, following closely behind Liu Hui.
