When a large amount of gold was found on Mars, the happiest people were those who believed in William and didn't sell off their gold futures.
There were also ordinary people who planned to buy gold.
Before the Mars live broadcast ended and before he made this decision, William had informed his subordinates to sell all the gold they had.
As soon as the stock market opened, most of the listed companies related to gold began to fall.
If it weren't for the gold on Mars that couldn't be shipped back, the gold price on Blue Planet probably wouldn't have just fallen slowly, it would have been cut in half.
It was foreseeable that even if William had an accident and couldn't come back, the yearning for gold would make Mars the most desirable place in the future.
Before other countries' space technology matured, this gold rush would completely become a private feast for the Devonshire family.
But how could William have an accident? He cherished his life more than anyone else. As long as there was real danger, he would definitely open a portal and escape.
If he couldn't escape and couldn't win, he didn't have the awareness to contribute to the world.
In the face of immeasurable wealth, the major countries in the world would definitely make landing on Mars a key scientific and technological target in the future.
Peeping into the technology of the Mars spacecraft reached an all-time high at this moment.
As William said, gold was not the only precious metal on Mars.
The metals in the world that were more expensive than gold, not to mention platinum that was in high demand for civilian use, there were at least a dozen rare metals that were used in industry and weapons that were much more expensive than gold.
The titanium that William himself used on the Mark armor was much more expensive than gold. The demand for ships, planes, and underwater vehicles was as large as a bottomless pit.
Not to mention that ten spacecraft could only transport 1,500 tons a year, even if 3,000 tons or 5,000 tons of titanium were shipped back to Blue Planet.
It was guaranteed that as soon as it was put on the market, civilian shipping companies around the world would eat up the 5,000 tons of titanium.
If Sunday could process all kinds of titanium alloy products, it would be easy to make 50 billion US dollars a year.
Hence, after William expressed his thoughts to the audience all over the world through the live broadcast ball, the audience was stunned.
The Mars Mining Company of the Devonshire Family had become a hot commodity in the eyes of the world's citizens and investors.
Everyone knew that gold, platinum, and titanium alone could definitely make the value of the mining company that had yet to be established reach hundreds of billions.
By the time the first spaceship returned with 50 tons of gold, the value of the gold would skyrocket to trillions of dollars.
If William handed over the spaceship technology to the new company now, or even exclusive rights to use it, then the company would be in a better position.
There was no need to be long-winded. The outside world would raise the valuation by several times, and the unit was trillions.
While William was still pretending to dig for gold, Mars, spaceship, gold, mining company, and the Devonshire family were all mentioned by people all over the world.
Just as the general public was excitedly talking about whether they would have the opportunity to go to Mars in the future …
Many experts invited by the TV stations expressed their opinions one after another, and the meaning they expressed was very simple.
If an ordinary person wanted to be a gold digger on Mars, it would probably take a few decades. They might not even have the opportunity to be a worker.
A very realistic problem was that the use of labor was not only inefficient, but they also faced the trouble of compensation and lawsuits caused by accidental casualties.
Once a worker died, the Blue Star Metal Group and related interest groups whose interests were damaged would definitely slander them.
At that time, the Mars project might be suspended.
Of course, the suspension was only temporary. It was also a conflict of interests and a redistribution of interests, but for William, these were troublesome.
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 in the world that researched robots and mining equipment rose.
But the country that benefited the most was Japan. William, who was digging for gold 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 broadcast ball with a face of displeasure.
"God, it shouldn't be a problem to say that I'm the richest person in the world now!"
What?
This was absolutely not a problem. Not to mention the spaceship and the unestablished Mars Mining Company, William was already one of the richest people in the world with the company shares and cash in his hands.
If he added in the spaceship, probably the first 100 people of Forbes added together wouldn't be as rich as him.
Looking at the reporters in the London Space Center, William smiled and said, "This is the first time I saw this gold mine.
I actually forgot that even if I had to dig ten tons a day, I would still earn more than staying in the laboratory and tinkering with the robots that have already taken shape in my head. "
"Damn it."
The companies and researchers that were engaged in intelligent robot research all over the world suddenly felt their hands and feet go cold.
William, who could invent a spaceship and push the technology of spaceships into practical use, jumped into the robot industry.
There was no need to wait for the finished robot to be produced. No one would believe that the robot designed by William would be worse than the existing technology of Blue Star.
Sure enough, William continued to say with a smile, "Actually, I made a robot that can run and jump by myself.
I didn't take it out because I didn't want many low-level industrial workers to lose their jobs because of the appearance of robots.
But if it's only used on Mars, there shouldn't be much of a problem. "
How could there be no problem? This was a big problem.
All the ordinary industrial workers who heard William say that he had actually developed robots a long time ago broke out in cold sweat when they heard this topic.
They couldn't help but pray that William would never put it into use.
Since the appearance of industrial mechanical arms more than ten or twenty years ago, a large number of people had been unemployed and had to squeeze into the service industry to find jobs.
If there were robots that could completely replace human labor, one could imagine how many people would be unemployed and have no one to rely on before social welfare was perfected again.
This kind of topic that could affect millions or tens of millions of jobs quickly became the focus of the entire society.
And the robot industry, which was previously popular, immediately became trash in the eyes of capital.
William might already have a practical robot. Only a fool would invest money in a robot industry that was still in its infancy and could only stagger a few steps forward.
Facing an opponent like William, who was completely asymmetrical and even made people unable to see any hope of winning.
Soon, the Japanese media gave William a nickname, "The Destroyer of Industries."
Because the robot industry was a system industry, it also involved chips, artificial intelligence, batteries, bionic technology, and other technologies.
If William relied on his technological advantage to fully enter these industries, then Japan would probably fall directly into the ranks of third-rate countries.
