When a large amount of gold was discovered on Mars, the happiest people were the English capital who believed in William and did not sell their gold futures.
And ordinary people who plan to buy gold.
Before the Mars live broadcast ended, and before making this decision, William informed his men to sell all the gold they had.
As soon as the stock market opened, the share prices of most gold-related listed companies began to fall.
If we hadn't only seen gold on Mars but couldn't bring it back for the time being, Blue Star's gold price probably wouldn't have just fallen slowly, but would have been cut in half.
It is foreseeable that even if William has an accident and cannot come back, Mars will definitely become the most desirable place for people like the several gold rushes in the future due to their longing for gold.
Before other countries' space technology matures, this gold rush will completely become a private feast for the Devonshire family.
But how could something happen to William? For someone like him who values his life more than anyone else, as long as there is real danger, he would 100% open the portal and escape.
If he can't escape and can't be defeated, he doesn't have the consciousness to dedicate himself to the whole world.
Faced with immeasurable wealth, major countries around the world will definitely regard landing on Mars as a key scientific and technological research target in the future.
The peek at Mars spacecraft technology has reached an all-time high at this moment.
As William said, there is more than just gold on Mars.
Among the metals in the world that are more expensive than gold, not to mention platinum, which has a large civilian demand, there are at least a dozen other rare metals used in industry and weapons, which are much more expensive than gold.
The titanium used by William himself in the Mark armor is much more expensive than gold, and the demand for it in ships, aircraft and underwater vehicles is as big as a bottomless pit.
Not to mention that ten spaceships can only transport 1,500 tons per year. Even if 3,000 tons or 5,000 tons of titanium are transported back to Blue Star,
It is guaranteed that as soon as it is put on the market, civilian shipping companies all over the world will eat up all these 5,000 tons of titanium.
It would be easy to make $50 billion a year by processing Sunday into various titanium alloy products.
So after William expressed his thoughts to audiences around the world through live broadcast,
The Devonshire Family Mars Mining Company he mentioned has completely become a favorite in the eyes of people and investors around the world.
Everyone knows that just these three metals, gold, platinum, and titanium, can definitely make the valuation of the yet-to-be-established mining company reach hundreds of billions.
By the time the first spaceship transports 50 tons of gold, the valuation will skyrocket to one trillion US dollars. This is by no means a foolish dream.
If William puts the spacecraft technology into the new company now, he may even just have the exclusive right to use it.
There is no need to go into detail, the outside world will push the valuation up several times, and the unit is trillions.
When William was still pretending to live broadcast digging for gold, the words Mars, spaceship, gold, mining company, and Devonshire family were mentioned by people on the ninth level all over the world.
Just when the general public was excitedly asking whether they would also have the opportunity to go to Mars to pan for gold in the future.
Experts invited by many TV stations have expressed their opinions one after another, and their meaning is very simple.
Ordinary people who want to go to Mars and become gold diggers may not even have the opportunity to work as workers until a few decades later.
A very real problem is that using manual labor is not only inefficient, but also faces the trouble of compensation and lawsuits caused by accidental casualties.
Once a worker dies, Blue Star Metal Group and related interest groups whose interests have been harmed will definitely slander them.
At that time, the Mars project may be stopped.
Of course, the suspension is only temporary, and it is also just an entanglement and redistribution of interests, but for William, these are all troubles.
Therefore, the most suitable workers must be robots and intelligent mining equipment.
As soon as this idea came out, the stock prices and valuations of companies researching robots and mining equipment in the world rose accordingly.
But the one who benefited the most was the island nation. William, who was digging the sand with a shovel, reported the news to him on Sunday.
He frowned, thought for a moment, threw away the shovel in his hand, and said to the live ball with an unhappy look,
"God, it shouldn't be a problem to say that I am the richest man in the world now!"
this?
This is absolutely no problem. Not to mention the spacecraft and the Mars mining industry that has not yet been established, William is already one of the richest people in the world based on the existing company shares and cash in his hands.
If you include the spaceship, that Phoebus probably wouldn't have enough money even if he came forward with a hundred dollars.
Looking at the reporter in the London Space Center with an expression that said this is not nonsense, William smiled and said,
"It was the first time I saw so much gold. I actually forgot that even if I was asked to mine ten tons a day, I would not stay in the laboratory. I would make more money by continuing to tinker with the robot that was already formed in my head."
"Hell".
Companies and researchers around the world who are engaged in the research of intelligent robots suddenly felt their hands and feet go cold.
William, who could invent a spaceship and bring spacecraft technology to practical use in one fell swoop, jumped into the robotics industry.
There is no need to wait for the finished robot to be produced. No one will believe that the robot designed by William will be inferior to Blue Star's existing technology.
Sure enough, William then said with a smile, "Actually, I made a robot that can run and jump by myself before.
I didn’t take it out just because I didn’t want many low-level industrial workers to lose their job opportunities due to the emergence of robots.
But if it is only used on Mars, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
How can there be no problem? This is a big problem.
All the ordinary industrial workers who heard William say that he had actually developed robots a long time ago were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats after hearing this topic.
I couldn't help praying that William would never put it into use.
Since the emergence of industrial robotic arms more than ten or twenty years ago, a large number of people have become unemployed and have to squeeze into the service industry to find jobs.
If robots that can completely replace human labor appear now, it is conceivable how many people will be unemployed and have nothing to rely on before social welfare is improved again.
This topic, which can affect millions or tens of millions of jobs, has quickly become the focus of attention of the whole society.
The robotics industry, which was still a popular industry before, immediately became garbage in the eyes of capital.
William may already have a practical robot, so only a fool would invest money in a robot industry that is still in its infancy and can only stagger a few steps.
Facing an opponent like William who is completely asymmetrical, one cannot even see the hope of winning the competition.
The island nation’s media quickly nicknamed William the ‘Industry Destroyer’.
Because the robot industry is a system industry, it also involves chips, artificial intelligence, batteries, bionic technology and other technologies.
If William relies on his technological advantages to fully enter these industries, the island country will probably fall directly into the ranks of third-rate countries.
