Chapter 1305: Blue‑Gold Water‑Moon Plan

Yang Family.

Yang Jiuchen is studying the future of the Yang Family with its members.

"Underground city, we are continuously reinforcing and expanding it."

"Some areas have already begun operations."

"The offshore city project currently has no surplus metrics, unless the United Authority releases more developable sea zones."

"Some underwater palace projects have also progressed, but their commercial prospects are unclear."

"It can be said that Lanxing's development space is already scarce."

"And the Yang Family must, according to regulations, gradually withdraw from some mature civil sectors."

"We have currently generated a noticeable idle capital situation."

"We need a new investment direction."

"At present, the Yueqiu project is fully under United Authority control, lacking freedom."

"The Mars project requires a step‑by‑step approach and cannot be invested in on a large scale rashly."

"Currently, the Venus project is a good choice."

"Venus's carbon resources can be mined for several hundred years."

"But its value cannot meet our needs."

"The United Authority has a project to build a Lunar Collision Accelerator, wants us to fund it, but the return rate is extremely low; the Yang Family can participate, but cannot be a dupe."

"We need a more strategically significant investment plan."

After Yang Jiuchen finished speaking, the others began to familiarize themselves with the world's development plan.

As the virtual world becomes increasingly prosperous, the demand for energy rises.

Nuclear fusion has become the main means to solve the energy crisis.

And the Star Dream Ship also uses a nuclear fusion engine.

The whole world's demand for helium‑3 has expanded by countless times.

Helium‑3 resources on Yueqiu, originally mineable for several thousand years, have now been reduced to a few hundred years.

The possibility of further shortening in the future is very high.

As for Venus, Mars, whatever place.

All plans are inseparable from energy; energy is paramount.

Thus helium‑3, the raw material for nuclear fusion, has become the main deposit.

Intelligence Team.

"Currently, the sources of helium‑3 are mainly Yueqiu and Mercury."

"At present we mainly rely on Yueqiu, but as Yueqiu's development deepens, the cost of extracting helium‑3 will rise."

"Because the enriched ore is being consumed rapidly."

"Future alternative sources of helium‑3 become very important."

"After all, we now heavily rely on nuclear fusion."

"Therefore, developing Mercury becomes imperative."

"We think that the Blue‑Gold Moon Economic Circle should be further expanded into the Blue‑Gold Water‑Moon Economic Circle."

"Include Mercury in the plan as well."

"Capturing Mercury has another advantage: not only helium‑3, but also massive metal and diamond deposits."

"Metal ore is essential for building a simplified Dyson ring; future high‑energy‑consuming industries and smelting sectors relocating to Mercury are very suitable."

"Until the Lunar Collision Accelerator is completed and humanity finds a more efficient energy method, Mercury will be extremely important."

"It is worth increasing our investment."

Blue‑Gold Water‑Moon Economic Circle?

The plan presented by the Intelligence Team is very attractive.

The Think Tank's plan also gave everyone new ideas.

"If the Blue‑Gold Water‑Moon Economic Circle direction is correct."

"Extending similarly, perhaps Mars, the asteroid belt, and Jupiter could also form an economic circle."

"Jupiter's moons from Jupiter III to Jupiter XII constitute an alternative habitable zone."

"Mars inwardly is mainly used to communicate with Lanxing."

"And several of Jupiter's satellites serve as forward outposts for our expansion into the farther starry sky."

"The asteroid belt is a huge treasury, supporting the foundational development of the Mars‑Jupiter asteroid belt economic circle."

"Lanxing acts as the hub connecting the two economic circles."

"Such a plan can consolidate humanity's role as the core leader in Solar System development."

Yang Jiuchen evolved this plan.

"In other words, we need to launch base vehicles to the asteroid belt and several of Jupiter's moons now? To pre‑position them."

"There is a problem: at such distances, solar power has lost its intended value, meaning we need to transmit sufficient energy simultaneously."

"Nuclear energy would be best."

"The consumption involved will be far higher than we imagine."

"Given the current level of Mars development, is the value of executing this plan worth our effort?"

The group quickly calculated and realized it was not cost‑effective.

Mainly because sunlight density is insufficient, preventing base vehicles from continuously expanding using solar power.

And providing supporting energy would consume too many resources.

You have to understand that a full set capable of supporting the development needs of base vehicles, able to run independently for several years, even over a decade, of nuclear power sources—this size is no longer just generally large; moreover, they are still precision machines, and once they fail, everything goes down the drain.

Even if the Yang Family is wealthy, they can't withstand this kind of consumption.

Therefore, this plan has no feasibility in the short term.

Unless Mars receives sufficient development, Mars can take on the responsibility of maintaining these base vehicles and power sources.

"This plan is indeed a bit far-fetched; compared to the Blue Gold Water Moon Plan, it is more reliable."

"I think our primary goal should be placed on the Blue Gold Water Moon Plan."

"As for the Fire Wood Plan, we can wait until Mars has obtained sufficient development."

"Regarding the Blue Gold Water Moon Plan, I think we can proceed in two steps."

"First, we will go into the field directly, just as before."

"Second, we invest in related enterprises."

"For those that show no economic value in the short term, we will handle them ourselves, maintain them, and advance them through investment."

"This can assist the development of our plan."

"Especially for related industries, we will further promote their research and development."

"Furthermore, we need to invest in the development of games related to the development of the Solar System."

"To indirectly cultivate relevant talent for us."

"If possible, we can also collect and evaluate more creative development design plans for the architecture of each planet in the Solar System."

"This can provide us with great help."

"At the same time, we can also instill the Blue Gold Water Moon Plan into them, enhancing its appeal."

"In other words, the Yang Family provides money, you provide manpower and intellect."

"What are the benefits? The Yang Family takes the biggest share, while you follow along, drinking soup and eating meat."

"At the same time, they can also conceal their plans within the Union Prefecture's plans."

"Thus they won't be targeted."

"In this world, there are plenty of people who want the Yang Family to fall."

"Yang Jiuchen accepted this more subtle and feasible plan."

"However, what came to his mind was that the two brains among the Mist Five Brains seem to have already set out for Jupiter."
