0205 Starlink's innovation, the world has changed!
The Scavenger is moored on a space station 40,000 kilometers away from the ground. This is Xinglian's own space station, which is much smaller than international space, but it is still enough as a transfer station for the round-trip Star Gate.
Compared with the simple spacecraft used in the early days, the rail transit boats that travel to and from the atmosphere have been updated to the latest model, which is much more fashionable. The transportation boats carry a pair of short and wide wings, which is essentially a space shuttle. The large cargo plane purchased by Xinglian is mounted to the sky. After reaching a sufficient height, it relies on the booster rocket and ion engine to break free from gravity and fly to the earth's orbit. If you return to the ground, you will adjust your posture by ion engines and almost half-gliding.
The United States and the Soviet Union have also made this path before, but due to the immaturity of material technology and intelligent control, and the high cost, it has not been widely used, it is just used to do some experiments. Xinglian picked up this trick and only made a transition. It directly ejected the spacecraft from the electromagnetic orbit, whether it is an ion engine or spacecraft circuit, needs to be improved. After all, this method is mature in technology and has high safety.
A traffic boat carried up to 20 people. After entering the atmosphere, it was wrapped in a bright flame, dragged long tail flames, and landed on the newly built airport on the west side of Antania. The old airport built during World War II was originally in the center of Antania. Xia Ming felt that it was too affecting the overall planning, so he directly demolished and built the headquarters building.
"I really didn't expect that this place was so lively." Looking at Antania, which had become a city, Xiaohuan was both surprised and happy. Although she was in a foreign land, she felt like she was going home.
"I have to continue working hard, don't bother me." Xiaotang pushed Xia Ming's dissatisfied gaze back, and obtained a lot of samples from the mutated Borg's corpse and the giant ship's nest, which made her think wide open. She didn't have time to deal with someone's original desire. Anyway, Xiaohuan was there...
Xiaotang returned to the research area on the northwest side of Antania. A large building had already stood beside the huge chimney-like building. There were dozens of research institutes gathered there, with research projects ranging from medicine, biochemistry, materials, semiconductors, integrated circuits to aircraft, jet engines and spacecraft, and accommodated tens of thousands of scientists from all over the world.
Next to the east of the research area is the first-season education area. Antania Institute of Technology, commonly known as "Star League University", has been built here. The freshman's university has multiple theoretical majors such as basic physics, cosmic physics, and applied physics, as well as more than ten engineering majors such as aerospace, energy, materials, and integrated circuits.
Universities are never built in one day, but Star Alliance University really has the taste of "a single day to become a school". Scientists who enter the research institutions of Star Alliance have signed part-time teaching agreements. With such strong educational resources, and with a large number of Star Alliance companies waiting to be selected after graduation, there is no worry about student resources. Although there is only one grade and two or three thousand students, they are all geniuses and top students selected from all over the world.
Antania Medical College is also tempting enough for those who are interested in medicine. Just the human nerve model and the application of ei in medicine are enough to gain a foothold in the global medical education community. Not to mention that the integration of medical colleges and medical research areas means learning to mean the opportunity to directly enter the forefront of research.
There is also a middle school and three primary schools built around the two colleges, which are all solving the education problems of the children of Star Alliance employees. For this reason, Star Alliance spent a lot of money to recruit primary and intermediate education talents around the world, and also established education institutes to explore the application of EI in education. If nothing unexpected happens, this group of "Star II generation" will be the first beneficiaries of the eI education revolution.
To the southeast of Antania, close to Anziranana, is the only area in Antania open to outsiders. This is a commercial area, and the decision-making headquarters of all companies belonging to Star Alliance are here. However, there are no adjacent skyscrapers here. Each company's headquarters only has a very small decision-making office here, which directly reports to Star Alliance headquarters. In addition, it is also responsible for receiving and managing the workforce organized by various companies regularly. Coming here for training is a completely wonderful trip for the employees.
To the southwest of Antania is the most mysterious Star Alliance Special Service Academy. This college that only recruits university graduates. Even though the salary was generous, it had a "signing fee" of millions of Chinese yuan and a monthly allowance of no less than 10,000 yuan, and there were various subsidies for formal employment, but it still didn't attract people. The reason is very simple. The recruitment conditions are very harsh and the signing of a life-and-death agreement is signed. At first glance, it looks similar to a mercenary company. No wonder most of them were Chinese in the early stages.
But now it is different. The propaganda of the Star Gate Battle is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even though Unoc deliberately downplays the existence of Star Gate, the final victory was obtained by Xia Ming leading Star Gate Special Forces into the enemy's nest, which cannot be avoided.
So Star Alliance Special Service Academy has become a holy place for those middle-aged and second-year-olds who still desire to become a defender of humanity and fight in space even after graduating from university.
The convoy of Xia Ming, Xiao Huan and others advanced along the avenue. Not long after, several cars left the convoy and drove towards Xinglian Special Service Academy. The special service members who came back to rest had to return to the academy to report that they were only in the first grade. In the next three years, they would have to continue their college careers and improve themselves while promoting their younger generations. The originally empty Xinsheng Building was already full of people.
The convoy drove into the center of four areas, with various parks, woodlands, grasslands, lakes and swimming pools, and a square that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
The tallest building in Antania stands in the center of the square: Xinglian Headquarters. It covers an area of two square kilometers and has a main body of 99 floors. It looks like the front half of a spacecraft penetrates from the ground. The magnetic levitation metal mirror at the top is rotating, like a star flickering.
The building was built in less than a year and is another miracle that has been applied to humanity.
On the flagpole standing in front of the main entrance of the building, a red flag floated. In the middle is a white triangle with half a white circle. There is a white five-star in the circle, which is the new symbol designated by Xia Ming for the Star Couplet. The triangle means me, human beings, the world, and the circle is the star gate, and the five-star represents ideals and the future.
Whether it is the tone, composition, or meaning, it is very mediocre, but Xia Ming feels that it is precisely because of simplicity and mediocrity that it is possible to pass on it all the time.
On the high-rise building, in the huge circular conference room, Xia Ming and He Xinghui sat down together. The two of them put on special model A glasses. Xia Ming nodded, and virtual figures appeared in each seat.
In addition to Xiaotang and Xiaohuan being away, all seven people in the core network are there, including Mez, You Kuang, Wu Sihao, Yi brothers and sisters, Lou Xinghai, Lawrence, Tian Zhong, Hasabis, Hang Xiangbei and thirty or forty new peripheral members. These people come from all over the world and are in charge of various companies affiliated to Star Alliance.
"Everyone should have heard some rumors. There was some unpleasantness between our Star Alliance and Unoc. I came back to solve these things. But this is not the most important thing. The return time we reported to Unoc was five days later. During this period, we have a lot of things to do. The first is to solve the establishment problem of our Star Alliance. If you say it out, no one will believe it. Now Star Alliance is just a club at all."
Everyone looked at Xia Ming with both awe and awe. In awe, the heroes who led humans to defeat extraterrestrial civilizations really returned to the earth and appeared in front of them alive. Surprisingly, the bald head's shape was very different from the image in the media reports. The latter had a bookish look and a little shy, and he was a scientist at first glance. Now, it's a bit...how to say, like Professor X, full of inhuman transcendent temperament.
"Uh, this is the price of escaping from death. I believe it will solve my hair problem, but this is not a priority." Seeing everyone's eyes rubbing against their heads, Xia Ming was a little embarrassed and helpless. When he was engaging in cell hyperplasia, the hair tissue on his scalp was completely destroyed by radiation and could not be copied. Before solving this problem, he could only bare his head.
Everyone laughed softly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. At this time, Xia Ming finally had the breath of a mortal.
Next is to announce the specific composition of the Star Alliance. As Xia Ming said before, the Star Alliance was brought together by research institutions, companies and schools, and it relied on the coordination between Xia Ming and Lin Cheng and others to integrate resources.
This system barely survived the war with the mutated Borg, but to ensure that future actions have a stronger rear, Xia Ming felt that it must be properly conditioned.
The new system of Star Alliance will be an organization in all countries, without territory (Antania is only leased), without nationals (all people retain their original nationality), but with military and judicial power.
Under the new system, Xinglian's enterprises were sorted into level three.
The highest level is the core enterprise, and no longer allows other companies and external individuals to invest. It includes six companies including IEI, Kunpeng Aerospace, Star Nuclear Energy, Anchorage Pharmaceuticals, Zhiling Semiconductor, and Down Materials. The characteristics of these companies are fundamental, ensuring that Star Alliance masters core technologies.
The internal shares of the core enterprise will convert the shares originally owned by Malaco Shell Company into Xinglian Collective Shares. The agency rights are in the hands of the seven people of Xinglian Core. The part of the individual shares will remain unchanged.
The secondary companies are public enterprises, including Xiaya Heavy Industry, Cicada Movement, Phantom, Syncyber, Carbon Cell, Extreme Battery and other companies. These companies allow other companies and individuals to invest, but cannot exceed 30%. Malaco Shell Company will also be converted into Star Alliance, and the others will remain unchanged.
For such companies, StarLink’s goal is to use it to promote core technologies and ensure that core technologies are not abused and distorted.
The second-level is peripheral enterprises, including the acquired aircraft companies, engine companies, media and film and television companies, as well as some companies that Xia Ming used ei to create, such as intelligent synchronous translation companies, and even automobile and mobile phone companies, with a total of more than 30 companies.
These companies are only the application of specific technologies and the commercialization of details. Except for converting the original Malaco shell shares into Starlink, there are no restrictions on other aspects, including allowing listing.
According to rough calculations, Star Alliance's economic strength has reached a medium-sized country. The annual revenue of just peripheral companies is over 10 billion US dollars. Among public companies, Shaya Heavy Industry and Cyndo are giants with a scale of 50 billion US dollars, and with other companies, the annual revenue exceeds 200 billion US dollars.
Core companies are even more terrifying. IEI's neuronal chips are everywhere, with annual revenue of up to 100 billion US dollars. Although Star Nuclear Energy now has less than 10 billion US dollars in revenue, it is also a big player with annual revenue of 100 billion US dollars after the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion matures. In addition to other companies, the total annual revenue will be close to 500 billion US dollars.
Before, all companies were busy dealing with war needs and didn't feel how much money they made. Now when they looked back, Xinglian's economic plate was so big, and they felt shaking.
If all StarLian companies are packaged together, their annual revenue will exceed US$800 billion, Walmart, the world's largest company, will only be US$500 billion, and Apple will only be US$300 billion. Moreover, StarLian companies are all equipped with cutting-edge technologies, and the future is unlimited.
Of course, the war is over and the economy will transform, but for Star Alliance's company, except for Xiaya Heavy Industry, which undertakes a considerable proportion of combat robot orders, and Kunpeng Aerospace, which undertakes more than half of the ion engine orders, which are closely related to the Star Gate War, other companies have changed their positions and their status in the same industry is irreplaceable.
After sorting out his belongings, Xia Ming announced the organizational composition.
Xinglian will establish six departments: the Management Committee, the Ministry of Order, the Ministry of Economics, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of External Relations, the Ministry of Support, and the Ministry of Affairs. Xinglian Academy of Sciences and Xinglian Special Service are special departments.
The Management Committee is the highest authority, and the chairman is Xia Ming. There are executive members under it. Only those who enter the core level are qualified to serve as executive members. People like Xiaohuan are naturally not executive members. In addition to the existing people who are connected to the Qianyan Network, Xia Ming is also preparing to develop several, such as the Yi brothers and sisters, Mez, You Kuang, Hasabis and others.
The Ministry of Economics, Ministry of Education, and Academy of Sciences will not be described as the name suggests. The Ministry of Security is responsible for the collective welfare and treatment of members of the Star Alliance, and the Ministry of Affairs is responsible for urban management, rail transit and space facilities.
The Ministry of Order is responsible for examining whether economic, education and activities in all aspects are in line with the concept of Star Alliance, that is, whether it protects and enhances the human self, and whether it benefits the human whole.
The Star Alliance Special Service is the Star Alliance's external armed force, which is different from the Star Alliance's security and internal service under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Affairs.
Although this organizational structure is not complex, it is extremely rigorous. It even has a national framework, which makes many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
A female senior executive from the United States raised her hand and spoke: "Mr. Xia, are you planning to establish a country?"
Xia Ming shook his head: "No, Xinglian will be an organization that transcends the country, and it aims to safeguard the interests of all mankind."
"The aliens have been repelled, but Star Alliance has further enhanced the strictness of the organization. I can't think of the need to do so," the female senior executive was very confused.
Xia Ming still explained patiently: "The world outside the Star Gate is very big, and we are facing more threats at any time. In addition, human beings are constantly digging graves for themselves, and the Star Alliance is preparing for these two changes."
Another Chinese frowned and said, "It is difficult to do something like surpassing the country. For example, if the Star Alliance conflicts with a certain country, what should the members of the country do? Do they force them to ignore it or even ask them to treason?"
"Contradictions are inevitable," Xia Ming did not avoid this sensitive issue: "So generally members will not interfere in the contradictions. But core members, as well as relevant members, such as the Academy of Sciences and Star Alliance Special Service, must recognize the principle that human interests are higher than national interests."
The American female executive shrugged and said, "Does Star Alliance represent human interests? Where is the unoc placed? I can't agree with this, uh, will I be restricted from freedom?"
Xia Ming smiled faintly: "Today we brought everyone together, we will let everyone know what kind of path Xinglian will take in the future. Everyone has their own ambitions and will not force them. Those who do not agree with this path have the freedom to withdraw. But you have signed a confidentiality agreement. In the next week, the Star Alliance will monitor your activities and remarks to ensure that you do not disclose these things in advance."
He glanced at everyone: "What are you going to withdraw? You can disconnect now and submit your resignation to the bosses of each company you belong to. You will also communicate with you about the transfer of shares later."
After a moment of silence, the American female senior executive and the Chinese senior executive were disconnected. In addition to them, more than a dozen people disappeared one after another.
"It seems that most of the people who agree with Star Alliance. I would like to remind you in advance that staying means becoming a senior executive of Star Alliance. Star Alliance will demand everyone with very strict standards, especially in terms of core concepts and attitude towards the country. I hope you don't have a lucky mentality."
Xia Ming's words made many people look stern, and some people couldn't help asking: "Can you agree with such a Star Alliance, all countries and the United Nations? I know that Star Alliance has separated from the Unoc in Star Gate affairs and has become an organization. But Unoc is not the United Nations after all, and Star Gate affairs are not the whole world after all."
"It's not your fault. I've been staying on Earth and I feel that Star Gate and space are just a small part of life, just a small episode of human history."
Xia Ming had a hint of mocking at the corner of his mouth: "As for whether he agrees, whether it is the United Nations or various countries, of course he is unwilling to agree, but reality will soon tell them that their thinking has been bound by gravity for too long."
The man gasped and said in surprise: "Is the legend true? Xinglian really wants to go to war with unoc, no, the United Nations?"
Xia Ming said calmly: "Imposing war on our compatriots means the failure of Star Alliance. But this does not mean that Star Alliance will not take necessary measures against the United Nations and certain countries in other aspects. If you call these measures war, it can be counted."
The man swallowed hard, his eyes flashed for a while, and he pressed something and disconnected it.
After him, seven or eight more people were disconnected, and the venue was instantly spaced.
"It's far beyond my estimate to be able to leave so many people," Xia Ming smiled and then spread his arms to everyone present: "Then, welcome to join the new Star League!"
Applause sounded, and Yi Liyan clapped and said to Yi Liqing: "I thought you were going to quit. You are afraid of something."
Yi Liqing shrugged and said, "Last time we were driven out of Xiangshan, I was looking forward to this day. Can the country and other countries contain space and the universe?"
"I didn't think so much, I just felt that when I ran into space, I still did things according to the situation you are this country and I am that country. I can't imagine that situation at all." Yi Liyan's words were very simple.
"Next, I announce the first thing that Star Alliance has established."
Xia Ming's words surprised everyone. What I said just now is true!?
"The group that is in charge of certain countries has played the Century's gamble for the self-interest of its own organization. The Star Federation has sanctioned them and told the United Nations and other countries that the world has changed!"
Chapter completed!
