To the disappointment of many countries, the Zhurong spacecraft finally returned to Earth successfully, and the first Mars landing operation was a success. A few months later, the Daqian announced the Space Fortress project, announcing that it would take 100 years to build a Space Fortress that could allow human interstellar migration.
This news left all the countries speechless. Although this plan sounded very nonsensical, if the Great Qian Empire could really complete the Mars landing with its own strength, it wouldn't be entirely impossible to build a space fortress in 100 years.
Of course, when these things happened, it was already 2018.
A lot of major events happened in 2018. For example, the GDP of Hua Xia surpassed that of a certain country for the first time and became the world's largest economy, which once again gave a heavy blow to the people of that country.
Another example was when it was discovered that the immersive lithography machine had reached a bottleneck, and the precision could never exceed the level of 3nm. The Daqian announced that it had developed a new quantum chip technology, which was a complete breakthrough in chip technology. All the computer chip technology based on monocrystalline silicon in the past would be thrown into the garbage heap of history. The quantum chip and quantum computer based on energy conversion would become a new computer technology that surpassed the era.
And the first commercially available quantum chip and computer would be released in 2018.
In the last month of 2018, the Daqian announced that it had completed the historical study of the acceptance and return of human brainwaves. With a special wave, it could directly make the equipment and the cerebral cortex resonate with the brain cells, thus controlling the user's dreams and building a new world in the dream.
In short, this was the technology described in the Daqian's "Sword and Saber Divine Realm" novel, or the virtual online game described in online novels.
Although the simulation couldn't reach 100%, it was still 30%. Mankind would enter a new era of gaming.
In short, the Daqian announced one major scientific research result after another in 2018, but the world didn't have much of a reaction because they were almost used to it. The whole world had tacitly agreed that the Daqian was the world's number one company, whether it was production capacity or scientific research ability. They were all convinced that the Daqian was the world's number one company.
Of course, many people from Daqian were still not satisfied. They said that although Daqian had temporarily taken the lead in many areas, Daqian was the real leader in digital currency technology!
That was true. A certain country's digital currency had developed to an unparalleled level.
Since 2009, the first digital currency, Bitcoin, was born in a certain country, the development of digital currency in that country had been at the forefront of the world. Tens of thousands of different digital currency products had been launched.
As the leader, bitcoin, after more than eight years of development, in August 2018, it reached an astonishing price of $24,3698 per unit, which made countless people gasp in amazement.
Who would believe that a pizza that could be exchanged for 100,000 Bitcoins eight years ago had now risen to the terrifying level of 240,000 USD?!
As the inventor of Bitcoin and the operator of the largest Bitcoin community, Musk also became the new richest man in Daqian. Because Musk had three million Bitcoins in his hands, if all these Bitcoins were exchanged, it was equivalent to a wealth of 730 billion USD. Therefore, Musk became a super-rich man in the world, second only to Boss Jia.
In addition, Musk also owned the only Bitcoin trading platform in the world. For every transaction, Musk could take 0.01% of the transaction fee, which was enough for him to make a lot of money.
Anyway, the humble scalper Musk was gone and replaced by the super-rich Musk. Musk also publicly said that if he was given another ten years, the price of Bitcoin would rise to more than 1 million USD. At that time, he would be able to surpass Jia Yapeng and become the new richest man in the world!
Hearing this, many people from Daqian shed tears of excitement. After nearly 15 years, the title of the world's richest man finally returned to the hands of Daqian?
This was really exciting.
So, how was Hua Xia doing in this digital currency frenzy?
Well, the situation was not very good, because under the advice of Daqian, Hua Xia had been in a state of severe crackdown on digital currency, and they believed that digital currency was illegal. Once they were found to be trading digital currency, they would be prosecuted for criminal liability.
Therefore, digital currency was not very popular in China, but for some people, it was an exception, and these people were the mine owners.
Although Hua Xia's mine owners started relatively late, they were very strong, because the world's highest-level graphics card was from Daqian, and all professional mining machines were built with graphics cards, so these mine owners had the world's first source of supply, naturally, they could build more mining machines.
Now, Daqian's top ultra-8090 graphics card had reached a terrifying price of 220,000 yuan per piece on Taobao. It was still priceless. After all, Daqian's factory price was only 8,000 yuan.
But compared with the sky-high price of Bitcoin, the investment of these mining machines was worth it. Now, about 70% of the world's new Bitcoins were mined in Hua Xia's mines every year. Then, they directly sold them on the trading platform, so Hua Xia's mines basically did not lose money.
Of course, such mines were not without hazards. For example, the electricity consumption was very high, but considering that many places in the country had surplus electricity, and the surplus could not be stored if it was not used, it seemed to be a cost-free business, but the power grid company benefited.
In January 2019, the commander of Daqian announced a new policy, that was, he decided to give Bitcoin complete legalization, so that banks could also operate the full range of digital currency business.
As soon as the news was announced, the world was in an uproar, but the digital currency industry and banking industry were singing and dancing, celebrating the victory.
First of all, for digital currencies, with the endorsement of the bank, the trust of users would be further increased. Many people felt that digital currencies were unreliable without a price tag, and people who had never bought digital currencies would invest in them. This meant that the price would definitely rise again.
On the other hand, the banking industry of Daqian had been relatively miserable recently and urgently needed the stimulation of financial innovation, but the traditional financial innovation had been created, and now they could only think about digital currency.
As for whether the hype of digital currency would lose money, the bank didn't care at all. Anyway, the bank had 1,000 ways to transfer the loss, and something worth 240,000 USD couldn't become worthless overnight!
