Chapter 726: Chapter 720: Gold Selling Craze

While everyone was busy with their tasks, Finn Lewis prepared to take some people out into space.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Despite the not vast area of green on Mars, the current scans have noted about five or six large swathes of green. These areas are found on major continents of Mars, especially around the equator where the green area is the most extensive.

“We’ve entered Mars’ orbit and started the scanning radar. We should enter Martian atmosphere in approximately a day.” After a short moment of awe, everyone got busy. The majority of the people here don’t fully understand the origin of the ship or other variables, but its technology was beyond their imagination.

The ship is about 58 million kilometers away from Earth, yet the information transfer between the ship and Earth is consistent. Despite a minor delay of only a few seconds, which is unimaginable.

Even though electromagnetic signals travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, it should still take about three to four minutes to cover such distance. However, the current delay is significantly less, even compared to the delay in signal transmission between the domestic areas and the North Federation.

This ultrafast information transmission technology can only be accomplished in the Virtual World. Moreover, they can now receive photos and videos relayed from the ship at any time. Not only is the transmission speed impressively high, but also the rate of data transfer per second exceeds the transmission speed of ordinary optical fiber broadband.

This is quite shocking. But at the moment, they don’t have time to consider this. As the ship’s scanning instruments began operating, there was a continuous stream of data being sent for analysis by the supercomputer Yanhuang.

The first thing analyzed was atmospheric composition. After a few minutes, Yanhuang provided the analysis results, “Analysis confirmed; the atmospheric composition is 99.87 similar to Earth’s. The concentrations of rare gases and poisonous elements differ by less than 0.0001 from Earth’s. Based on current analysis, this atmosphere is even more suitable for human survival than Earth’s.” Yanhuang immediately announced.

“Yanhuang, are you saying that humans can breathe directly on Mars now?” A scientist couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, people can directly breathe in it. However, according to my calculations, it’s unworthy to do so for the time being. Although the Mars atmosphere is more suitable for human survival than Earth’s, we’re uncertain whether plants there may carry deadly viruses for humans. Furthermore, the viruses humans carry may have fatal impacts on this environment, which is unknown. My suggestion is to avoid any contact with species, including the smallest bacteria and viruses, until comprehensive testing is done.” Yanhuang stated.

Of course, if Finn Lewis knew this, he would reassure them not to worry. The Life Origin could adapt to many types of life and would have no problems with these little issues. But even if Finn knew, he wouldn’t tell them because he has already told the middle-aged man that he would not be involved in a while. For a considerable time, Finn would hide away and not expose himself in front of ordinary people.

Right now, people on Earth potentially have a hard time imagining that the entire Solar System could be personal property. Hence, they better adapt gradually to this truth. There’s no need to declare it outright now. As long as the high-ranking officials know about it, it won’t impact Finn’s actual control here.

Moreover, such an endeavor is necessary for humanity’s exploration of the cosmos. Not only regarding Mars, but when encountering other planets in the universe as well, issues that do not arise on Mars doesn’t mean they won’t arise on other planets. Therefore, this is something to seriously consider.

The majority of the subsequent tasks would be carried out in space, where a significant space station would be built about ten thousand kilometers from Mars. Unlike the previously made smaller space stations on Earth, this new station would be immensely big.

After all, the capabilities of the spacecraft Zhonghua and the rockets in transporting cargo are incomparable, so all these facts were acceptable. Besides, the materials and design for the space station that Finn Lewis provided can be made with Earth resources, only that the manufacturing conditions and specifications are relatively high.

But that’s not important. What’s important is that, with the construction plan, Finn has indicated the next step for these investments to start paying off: the Gene Optimization Fluid. The materials for the Gene Optimization Fluid can be cultivated and produced on Mars, but if you want to do that, you naturally need to invest.

This would form a complete economic chain, making money flow thoroughly. This kind of investment allows nations to exploit space resources and develop space technologies while continually investing in space.

No one’s a fool, though the Flame Nation folks have an enduring bad habit right from the ancient times till now of hoarding these precious metals. There were many old ladies from the Flame Nation who bought loads of gold a few years back when the prices plummeted.

This is a mindset issue. Therefore, it’s crucial to change this mindset now, or else these people would definitely suffer a lot of losses. While the media ran promotional campaigns, the government of Flame Nation didn’t officially say anything, but constantly confirmed this influence by monitoring private and bank transactions.

However, disappointingly, despite the media promotions, only a tiny fraction sold their gold while the majority still possessed a considerable quantity of gold.

So clearly, these appeals were ineffective, and the Flame Nation government had to issue a gold price drop warning in the name of the government. They notified all major banks that they could buy gold at its price, and issued warnings to all account holders. This act almost brought the issue to light.

Earlier, they didn’t say it because they feared other nations, especially the financial tycoons on the international futures market, would manipulate the futures market. In such a case, the price of the gold held by these common people would suffer significant losses. But now, it seems most people still held a disbelief.

So, the country had no choice but to issue such a warning. However, such a warning from the country would undoubtedly impact the gold market.
