Chapter 2094 - 2094:

However, many things, can you stop them just by cursing to the heavens?

Will the progress of human civilization change because of criticism and scolding?

Liu Zhizhong was initially shocked by the idea of a stainless steel rocket hull, but after Mark's explanation, he was relieved and understood.

This is a new approach, an innovation, and requires courage to try. So the two of them resonated and achieved a harmonious unity in cooperation.

Moreover, Mark named his first generation stainless steel rocket the Starship, saying that it would go through test after test to meet the imagined requirements.

During a discussion, Liu Zhizhong had a sudden thought and said: If the Starship uses special stainless steel hull material, it will be lighter, durable, and reusable, then with its speed, could it be developed for civilian aviation in the future? If so, within four hours, humanity could travel from Wale to any city on Earth!

Hearing this idea, Mark was momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up.

"Mr. President, this idea is very interesting and feasible. However, compared to airplanes, its transportation cost is still a bit higher, and the passenger experience price is also relatively higher. But it's not an impossible thing. I think..."

He thought for a while and then said: "I think we can have a global layout for the civilian aerospace transportation industry of Starship. Although there are many technical challenges, they can be overcome. As for the launch and destination base, they are easy to resolve, and it can also drive mass employment."

As a result, Liu Zhizhong's idea eventually became part of a project: the Sky Star Airline project.

For this, the Wale side expressed that it would quickly establish the Sky Star Airline company, fully cooperate with Mark's Starship project, and implement the issue of Sky Terminal in major cities around the world.

On this point, Mark holds no shares in Sky Star Airline and greatly encourages the Wale Republic to do so. He is a tech genius and a major producer, just doing innovation, testing, and production delivery.

As for operations, that's the client's business, and he doesn't interfere.

When such a cooperation project was announced, it indeed caused a global uproar, with shock and skepticism coexisting.

Perhaps in human aviation history, a new chapter is about to begin.

However, over on the side of the Great East Pot, the experts jumped in to steer public opinion, scolding this project as whimsical, unrealistic, wasting investors' money recklessly, making a fuss over nothing! And flying around the world in four hours, what about airplane manufacturers and major airlines?

But in the mainstream civilized world, many people are optimistic about this project. After all, global urgent transportation happens from time to time. Some things, relying on airplanes, really can't make it in time.

And the Starship, traveling at cosmic speed, might really achieve: two hours ago, a donated corneas organ departs Kachin, two hours later arrives in New York, United States. By plane, it would be 12 hours later, haha... Of course, you can also have breakfast in Kachin City in the morning, lunch in New York, United States, dinner in Paris, France, and hold a wine party in Dubai's seven-star hotel after dinner, then return to Kachin to sleep peacefully.

When this project appeared, the Wale Country's Investment Strategy Department received calls from many global capital tycoons inquiring when the company would be established, when financing would be, when it would go public.

Can you imagine how spectacular its future investment and development prospects are?

But on the opposing side, the defamation and scolding side, this is just a scam, baseless and a mere way to fleece money.

But who could have thought that in the near future, when the Starship becomes a top-notch human aircraft, its market would be vast and highly rewarding?

After all, the Starship can not only carry satellites into space but also transport people quickly and deliver important military supplies at super speeds, which is quite impressive, hehe...

After this project was launched, the United States was brewing an international treaty for human super-speed aircraft. Indeed, the United States has its unique points.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong's dream is committed to human airline travel on Earth, whereas Mark, after a successful negotiation, casually said to Liu Zhizhong:

"Mr. President, in fact, my goal remains Mars. Within the Solar System, achieving interstellar migration to seek more homes for humanity."

Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, "Sir, your dream is so grand, it is truly admirable. Your persistence makes me wonder, why?"

"Maybe I'm a weirdo, yes, many people think so. Some even jokingly think that perhaps I was a Martian in my past life, that my genes come from Mars..."

He laughed at this point, then straightened up, "In reality, I'm worried about Earth's survival risks. Our planet is facing threats like asteroid impacts, supervolcano eruptions, nuclear war, AI rebellion. Unfortunately, if any of these happen, it will lead to the end of human civilization. Multi-planet survival and interstellar migration or colonization is our only way out. Mars has the potential to establish a self-sufficient civilization. Humanity must become an interstellar species or face twilight on its native land!"

My heavens...

"Humanity must become an interstellar species or face twilight on its native land!"

How shocking the words are?

At that moment, Liu Zhizhong seemed to understand Mark better.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong smiled and said: "As for your Mars plan, the United States Space Agency doesn't support it much, but investors are hopeful."

"Yes, the agency's reason is that all data suggest the survival difficulty of a Mars civilization is too great, unwilling to spend money. But I think the difficulties can be solved with technology. Human, already entering the technological era, isn't it?"

"Yes! Perhaps, the Wale Republic will become the starting point for your Mars journey."

"Wow! I look forward to that moment..."

Alright, does such a conversation mean a new project is born?

Not for now.

Because Mark's Mars project base, Mars City experimental base, is located in the United States. It either needs to be relocated or abandoned, which the Mi Guo people are unlikely to agree to.

Therefore, the two brilliant minds did not continue the discussion.

The stainless steel rocket recovery project, the Sky Star Airline project, is already enough to shock the world, isn't it?

However, there is an even more shocking project!

This project is: the Wale Artificial Intelligence Robot Project!
