"Good morning..." Li Chuan took the stage and turned to face the participants. Looking at the rich people present, Boss Li smiled in his heart. He could make a lot of money today, all of them were wool.
As a big boss who is also in the same echelon, Li Chuan's inner activities are not shown at all. Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.
There was nothing in his hand, and it was obviously a speech that was not written. Li Chuan was not timid when facing many bigwigs who had become famous before he was born, because he had been a figure in this ranks for a long time.
With a brief three-word greeting, Li Chuan entered the state and immediately said with a relaxed tone: "We have always known that the Earth may have a major disaster or even destruction after being hit by other asteroids. For example, scientists speculated that more than 65 million years ago, the extinction of dinosaurs was likely caused by an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers hitting the Earth."
"In addition, in the last 15 years ago, on February 15, 2013, the fall of meteorites in Chelyabinsk Oblast in Russia was a sensation and was captured by many dash recorders and monitors."
Speaking of this, the hall of the venue became dark, and a giant naked-eye augmented reality projection screen was presented on the stage. The blurry real scene also entered everyone's vision. What is being shown is the meteorite fall incident that occurred in Russia in 2013. The dazzling celestial meteor seemed to be a missile attack. After the meteorite crossed the sky, it left a straight white smoke in the clear sky.
Li Chuan on the stage continued: "Fortunately, this time it was just a smaller star body falling, not a larger celestial body. However, even so, it caused more than 1,200 people in the area and more than 30 million US dollars in economic losses."
"According to astronomers' evaluation, an extraterrestrial body with a diameter of about 100 meters will fall to the earth about every thousand years. If it falls in areas where humans live, or large cities with concentrated populations, this will have serious tragic consequences."
"According to calculations, after asteroids with a diameter of more than 40 meters collided with the earth, it was enough to easily destroy a modern metropolis. At present, only NASA confirmed about 10,000 asteroids operating in near-Earth areas, and this number only accounts for 1% of the total number of 1 million."
At this time, Li Chuan looked at a schematic diagram of the orbit of the asteroids in the solar system that was switched by the projection giant screen. The participants present looked at it in a little surprised. The whole picture was flooded by the chaotic orbital lines, and only a blank space could be seen in the central area of ​​the sun.
Li Chuan said: "This map is the orbit of celestial bodies in the near-Earth region with a diameter of more than 140 meters. This shows how lucky it is to survive on earth and our human civilization that can continue to this day. It is precisely because of the threat from these asteroids that scientists around the world hold planetary defense conferences every two years to study specific solutions."
"I am honored to join AIDA and become one of its members. I am also very happy that today the big names from all walks of life gather here to work together to protect our cradle."
That's what I have to say, but Li Chuan doesn't believe it in his heart. If the super rich people here hadn't known that a super asteroid would destroy the world in a year and a half, and if the governments of various countries had promised them, they wouldn't have come here and were willing to bleed heavily.
If you are qualified to sit here, you have to pay out a sky-high wealth insurance premium.
Li Chuan put aside these thoughts in his heart, adjusted his mentality, and then continued to tell the story with a relaxed state: "... Considering that humans have only a few thousand years of history of writing, this time is very small in terms of the development scale of the universe. Although, in these thousands of years, we humans have not yet suffered from the harm caused by large near-Earth asteroids, the threats of asteroids to humans can be encountered. At the same time, with the existing astronomical and technological levels of human beings, humans can do such events as large near-Earth asteroids hitting the earth, and at the same time, they must accurately predict them before they occur."
"This is not an unfair worry, because we know more and more, and we understand that it is becoming more and more dangerous. The meaning of AIDA's existence is for planetary defense. It is a pioneer and leader in this field. We also firmly believe that our joining will inevitably inject more vitality into jointly defending extraterrestrial bodies to impact the earth, and our world will surely be safer, thank you."
Li Chuan's opening speech ended, and the conference moved forward according to the formal process. Next was a speech by a representative of scientists. Astrophysics professors from the French Cote d'Azur Observatory came on stage. Since most of the participants present could not understand the profound science, the French professors who came on stage also tried their best to make easy-to-understand popular science speeches.
After the conference was held for an hour and a half, it entered a critical stage, and it was also the most painful time for the super rich people present to bleed.
Fundraising is the biggest purpose of this conference. All the rich people sitting on the scene are big money owners.
At this moment, the super rich people present had a display panel in their hands. Everyone lowered their heads and hesitated. Some even showed a look of struggle, but in the end they entered a string of numbers.
It's too dark and too ruthless. A person's security cost is 1 billion US dollars. This is simply the reality of the movie "2012", but the plot in the movie is even more ruthless. A boat ticket costs 1 billion euros, but now it's almost the same.
You should know that the rich people present are not only him, they all represent a family. If they are scientists or indispensable people, they can be included in the "fire", but if they are ordinary people, they are embarrassed, so they have to pay for 1 billion US dollars per ticket, which is a rhythm of billions of dollars.
But compared with life, it seems insignificant, and at least it has the right to choose. Compared with the people of the outside world and the uninformed journalists around them, they not only do not even have the right to choose, but they even have the right to know. It would be a bit better to compare.
On one side of the stage, Vidas Charman, the current director of AIDA agency, watched the screen data rolling wildly, and opened his mouth so happily that he couldn't stop talking.
"1, 2, 3...10 digits, 11 digits, exceeding 10 billion US dollars, not 20 billion, 50 billion..." Charleman's pupils seemed to be rolling a string of "Ｅ". The numbers that were rolling wildly represent the same amount of green banknotes.
Charleman knew that most of the academic contributions donated by the super rich people present were paid to GW, and most of them had little to do with AIDA institutions, but they could also receive donations ranging from 3 billion to 5 billion US dollars.
At this moment, the data entered by the wealthy people present will enter the background and will be corresponding to the list. A printer on the other side is also printing out the list accordingly.
After more than ten minutes, it was finally over. Charman looked at the data in the screen in front of him, swallowed involuntarily, and then counted carefully from a series of zeros on the right.
Chapter completed!
