At the headquarters of Shagang Group, Shan Ying had just finished her busy day and habitually began to lie down on the chair, taking a rest while entering the virtual world through the virtual watch to understand real-time news.
As soon as he entered the virtual world, he was immediately deeply attracted by a piece of news.
Galaxy Technology Group used sunlight in space to smelt 1.5 billion tons of steel in just half a day.
With almost no hesitation, Shan Ying clicked in without hesitation. As the leader of a steel company, he knew very well about steelmaking and was very concerned about everything about steelmaking.
"It takes half a day to smelt 1.5 billion tons of steel. It looks like a satellite, but this is Galaxy Technology Group, so maybe it's true."
As the person in charge of a steel company, he knows very well what 150 million tons of steel means. Even the world's largest steel company only produces about 100 million tons of steel a year.
It is incredible to smelt 150 million tons of steel in just half a day.
Soon, the scene of today's Galaxy Technology Group smelting an asteroid appeared in Shan Ying's mind. The asteroid that caused the world to suffer from red eye melted at a terrifying speed under the aggregation of solar energy.
Unprecedented smelting methods and powerful technology created this incredible scene.
"You can actually make steel like this!"
After reading it carefully from beginning to end, Shan Ying was completely shocked.
Such a method of making steel was simply unimaginable and unimaginable, something that he, who had been working in a steel company for several years, could never even imagine.
In space, sunlight is used to smelt asteroids at an incredible speed. This is the power of technology, an epoch-making new smelting technology.
"No, if we continue like this, we will be eliminated sooner or later. Once there are more smelting factories in space and more asteroids are mined, the steel in space will not be used up, and it will definitely turn to the earth for sales.
By then, we companies that use traditional steelmaking techniques will definitely have no place to survive."
Then Shan Ying couldn't help but stood up and started walking around the office.
He felt an unprecedented crisis and a sense of urgency. He had a premonition that the entire steel industry would undergo a huge change. All steel companies that failed to adapt to the new era in time would go bankrupt under this huge change and trend.
net.
At the same time, his eyes also saw unprecedented opportunities, opportunities for steel companies to become brilliant again. He clearly knew that the interstellar space era was about to truly come, and the steel needed in space in the future would be very huge.
Any spacecraft requires millions of tons of steel. In the future, it is very likely that larger spaceships, space battleships, more space factories, space farms, space solar power stations, etc. will be built.
Steel is indispensable for these.
"A glorious era is coming, and the key now is to be the first to gain a foothold in the space field."
Soon, Shan Ying made a decision. He had to gamble, because if he didn't gamble, he would be eliminated sooner or later. If he lost the bet, he would be eliminated. But if he won the bet, he would be able to take the lead in the era of space steelmaking.
, the family business passed down by grandpa is expected to become glorious.
"Convene a meeting with the company's top management immediately."
At this time, Shan Ying didn't feel a trace of fatigue. The fatigue of the day seemed to have completely disappeared at once, and his whole person became extremely excited.
Soon, in just ten minutes, the company's top management gathered in a conference room again.
"I'm very sorry, everyone should have taken a rest after get off work, but I have something urgent to do, so I summoned everyone back."
Looking at everyone in the conference room, Shan Ying said apologetically.
"Boss, what's the emergency?"
Fang Sixian, who was in charge of sales, said with a smile.
"Let's take a look at this news report first."
Shan Ying nodded, and then used her virtual watch to play the news reports she saw on the ppt.
"What do you think after reading this?"
Soon, the news report finished playing, Shan Ying looked at the senior executives present and asked.
"It's incredible. 1.5 billion tons of steel was smelted in half a day. This speed is really too fast."
"As expected of Galaxy Technology Group~"
“Very impressive.”
Everyone expressed their shock in their hearts and their admiration for Galaxy Technology Group, but this was not what Shan Ying wanted to hear.
"Boss, our opportunity has come, and so has our crisis."
Fang Sixian pondered for a long time and said slowly.
"That's right."
When Shan Ying heard this, she immediately screamed with joy. As expected, Fang Sixian was the only one in the company who saw the same crisis and opportunity as herself.
"Galaxy Technology Group smelts steel in space and smelted 1.5 billion tons of steel in half a day. Imagine how terrifying this number is."
"You may think it's nothing now, but in a year or two, there will be a lot of asteroids mined. If the space smelting factory starts working non-stop, the steel smelted will be huge."
"It can't be used up in space and can be sold back to the earth. When the time comes, our steel companies that use traditional smelting methods will have no way to compete with them. Our steel company has tens of thousands of employees and can only smelt hundreds of hundreds of dollars a year."
It’s just 10,000 tons of steel.”
"But they are in space. It is estimated that the number of employees will not exceed 1,000. They can smelt 1.5 billion tons of steel in half a day. No matter from which perspective, traditional steel companies are destined to be slowly destroyed.
Eliminate them."
Shan Ying's tone seemed a little heavy, and all the senior executives in the entire conference room fell silent. When someone woke up, everyone immediately felt a strong sense of crisis, as if bankruptcy was just around the corner.
"However, this is not an opportunity. The interstellar space age has arrived. There are more and more places where steel is needed, and the demand is also growing."
"The Qinglong spacecraft of the Galaxy Technology Group has a mass of more than 1 million tons. Today Japan plans to build a spacecraft in space that is comparable to the Qinglong. Its mass will also reach the 1 million ton level."
"The European Space Center, Polar Bear, India, and North America have also announced that they will build huge spaceships in space to mine asteroids. The mass of the spacecraft built in each plan will exceed 1 million tons."
"These are enough to show that in the future, in space, the demand for steel will rise linearly, and there will be broad prospects for spaceships, space battleships that will sail the universe in the future, space factories, space farms, space cities, etc.
There will be more and more places where steel is used."
"If we can take the lead in the field of space steelmaking, we will stand on the wind in the future. As long as we stand on the wind, pigs can take off."
Shan Ying said in an extremely positive tone, showing her determination to enter the field of space smelting.
"But do we have such huge funds and technology?"
A senior executive thought about it and said.
"Uncle Xu, how much money does our company still have on its account?"
Shan Ying nodded and turned to ask about the company's financial director.
"We still have nearly 40 billion in funds in our company's account, which are all based on the profits we have saved from working as an accessories supplier for Galaxy Technology Group in the past two years."
Xu Aiguo is an old man who was left over from Shan Ying's grandfather's time. He disagrees with Shan Ying's hasty decision to enter the field of space steelmaking. In his opinion, the funds and technology involved in this field are not those of the current Shagang Group.
Able to get involved.
But he also agreed with Shan Ying's point of view. If he doesn't change now, he will die. If he changes, he may die. If he doesn't change, he will definitely die.
"There are 40 billion funds available for us to use, and then we bet on the next profits, which means that we can have nearly 60 billion funds. If we can find another bank loan, we can raise almost hundreds of billions of funds. With this
The huge amount of funds, I think should be barely enough."
After listening to this, Shan Ying also carefully calculated the funds on hand, including future profits and loans. He knew that the funds needed to build an industry in space would definitely be huge. If he didn't have some wealth now,
He didn't dare to gamble either.
"Jiang Tao, are there any technical difficulties in smelting steel in space?"
"Can we get over it?"
With the funds now available, the next step was technical matters. Shan Ying turned around and asked Jiang Taolai, the head of the Shagang Materials Science Institute.
"I have been paying attention to the matter of Galaxy Technology Group smelting steel in space."
"This space smelting factory uses sunlight. The principle is very simple. It uses mirrors to reflect sunlight and concentrate the sunlight on a single point to form high temperatures to smelt asteroids."
"From this aspect, there is no technical difficulty. We can completely achieve it. We only need to build a space smelting factory similar to this smelting factory."
Jiang Tao nodded, sorted out his words a little, and spoke slowly.
He is an expert in technology, and he can tell at a glance that this space smelting factory actually does not have much technical content. The principle is simple. The key point is that it is in space and requires huge investment.
"Okay, there are no technical problems."
"I have decided that our Shagang Group will officially enter the field of space smelting. I don't know what everyone thinks."
Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Shan Ying showed a smile on her face and looked very excited, and then spoke very seriously to the senior executives present.
"Support~"
"no comment."
"I think it will work."
The other senior executives looked at each other, and then nodded one by one.
