LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Rehan's idea is actually very simple, that then uses own personal connection, found a group of being interested investors, imitates Lu Zhou that day warehouse five( Cetus t star) outside the galaxy colonizing foundation, establishes a similar fund. 弗里恩的想法其实很简单,那便是利用自己的人脉,找到一批感兴趣的投资者,模仿陆舟的那个天仓五(鲸鱼座t星)外星系殖民基金会,成立一个类似的基金。 But the difference is, he place of target beyond five located in the day warehouse, best will be away from the Solar System to be nearer place. 只不过区别就在于,他会将标的设在天仓五以外的地方,最好是距离太阳系更近一些的地方。 And, the fund will distribute publicly. 以及,基金将公开发行。 However, because this idea was too truly easy to think. 不过,也正是因为这个点子确实太容易想到了。 When he brings the material to arrive at Wall Street biggest commercial bank, prepares to go through the related formalities time, he then discovered with amazement, in the hall has lined up. 当他带着材料来到华尔街最大的商业银行,准备办理相关手续的时候,他便惊讶地发现,大厅里早已经排成了长队。 But from the wear and appearance of these people, they are not takes the money obviously...... 而从那些人的穿着和打扮来看,他们显然不是来取钱的…… And not long team that goes to manages Wall Street several commercial banks to arrange, just like Rehan had a premonition that such, the opportunity beyond five galaxy colonizing fund tenable the news in this day warehouse landed the Wall Street headline the same day, the entire world by this sudden news shocking! 且不去管华尔街几家商业银行里排起的长队,正如弗里恩预感中的那样,机会就在这个天仓五外星系殖民基金成立的消息登陆华尔街头条的当天,全世界都被这条突如其来的新闻给震惊到了！ „This possibly opens a brand-new business model!” “这可能开启一种全新的商业模式！” the financial column of abc television station, well-known Nobel Prize in Economics winner Paul Krugman when accepting the interview of financial column, said with the exciting tone. abc电视台的财经栏目,知名诺贝尔经济学奖得主保罗・克鲁格曼在接受财经栏目的采访时,用激动的语气说道。 „In the past, our investment activity mostly taking year conducts for the unit, except the trust product of circumvention inheritance tax, even by the investment product of long-term income consideration, will still rarely prepare over hundred years incomes.” “在过去,我们的投资活动大多都是以年为单位进行的,除去规避遗产税的信托产品,即使是以长期收益考虑的投资产品,也很少会对百年以上的收益进行筹划。” „In the short-term, has the hot spot project of investment value compared with other, the key point of investing places the space industry is actually not a wise choice, even can say that the profit is meager. But if focuses on the vision on a century- will be the future several centuries later, the aerospace industry that the short-term will have no benefits to be gained will actually be closely linked with our future in fact, this fund can help our space undertakings take the stock rail at a quicker speed.” “从短期来看,比起其他更具备投资价值的热点项目而言,将投资的重点放在航天领域其实并非是一个明智的选择,甚至可以说利润微薄。但如果将目光着眼于一个世纪-甚至是数个世纪以后的未来,短期无利可图的航天产业事实上却是与我们的未来息息相关的,这笔资金将能够帮助我们的航天事业以更快的速度走上正轨。” The host asked earnestly: „Therefore, this is actually a public utility?” 主持人认真问道:“所以,这其实是一门公益事业？” „Is incomplete,” Paul Krugman shakes the head, „accurate, is one has the public welfare attribute long-term investment, entire human race because his today's generously and obtains benefits.” “不完全,”保罗・克鲁格曼摇了摇头,“准确的来说,是一件具备公益属性的长期投资,全人类都将因为他今日的慷慨而从中获益。” „Works as more social resources centralized to the development of outer space resources, we will enter into the interstellar time at a quicker speed the front door.” “当更多的社会资源集中在对外空间资源的开拓上,我们将以更快的速度迈入星际时代的大门。” „However at the same time, this investment, although is the profit has no benefits to be gained in the short-term meagerly even, but can actually bring huge return in the future to him- this similarly is without a doubt.” “而与此同时,这笔投资虽然在短期来看是利润微薄甚至于无利可图的,但在未来却能够给他带来巨大的回报-这同样是毫无疑问的。” Host: „But...... can some people live is so long?” 主持人:“可是……有人能活到那么久吗？” „This truly is an issue,” Paul Krugman selected, „, but after he can assign his, beneficiary.” “这确实是一个问题,”保罗・克鲁格曼点了下头,“但他可以指定他的后代为受益人。” „If the hyperspace theory makes the navigation of super velocity of light if possible, some of our completely reasons believe that in the future a century later, colonizing the new world is achievable.” “如果超空间理论让超光速的航行成为可能的话,我们完全有理由相信在一个世纪之后的未来,殖民新世界是可以实现的。” „I even have an idea, this plan actually can definitely unify with the freezing dormancy plan, after all the normal person possibly cannot live is so long, but if really wants to join in the great undertaking of interstellar colonizing......” “我甚至还有个想法,这个计划其实完全可以和冷冻休眠计划结合起来,毕竟正常人可能活不到那么久,但如果真的希望投身于星际殖民的大业的话……” „Donates the space undertaking received exchange a century later passage ticket the property ‚’, will freeze the dormancy again by that time, to people perhaps is also a good choice.” “将财产捐给航天事业换取一个世纪之后的‘船票’,再将自己冷冻休眠到那个时候,对于一般人来说或许也是一个不错的选择。” In fact, not only Paul Krugman considered this point. 事实上,不只是保罗・克鲁格曼考虑到了这一点。 Including Rehan, these already the investors who line up in the bank in Wall Street, obviously has thought of this point early. 包括弗里恩在内的,那些已经在华尔街的银行里排起长队的投资客们,显然早早地就已经想到了这一点。 Almost ascends the publication later next morning in the news, the US many commercial banks then distributed similar outside galaxy colonizing fund. 几乎就在新闻登刊之后的第二天上午,美国多家商业银行便发行了类似的外星系殖民基金。 The amassing money mentalities of these funds- or propagandizes the mentality almost to be the same, that is chooses one attractively, and not too far potential occupies the galaxy to take the title page of destination as well as poster suitably, and told the story around this beautiful star, will spend people to the future expectation. 这些基金的敛财思路-或者说宣传思路几乎都是一样的,那便是选择一个漂亮且不算太远的潜在宜居星系作为目的地以及宣传海报的封面,并围绕着这颗美丽的星球讲故事,消费人们对未来的憧憬。 However what is interesting, perhaps some companies really planned will launch a colonizing ship in the future in the past. 不过有意思的是,也许有的公司是真的打算在未来发射一艘殖民舰过去。 Therefore, considering the competitor domineering reason, these funds mostly went round the Lu Zhou choice day warehouse five, but chose in the distance relatively to be nearer south gate two( to be away from the Solar System 4.24 light years), or seemed like Tianyuan four( from the Solar System 10.7 light years) other this class k main foreword stars to take the target. 因此,考虑到竞争对手过于强势的缘故,这些基金大多绕开了陆舟选择的天仓五,而是选择了距离上相对更近一些南门二(距离太阳系4.24光年),或者像是天苑四(距离太阳系10.7光年)这类的其他k型主序星作为标的。 But in view of these stars, the pricetag that each fund asks for is also all kinds, even filled with the entertainment spirit. 而针对这些星球,各个基金开出的价码也是五花八门,甚至是充满了娱乐精神。 For example some only establishes the target in the colonizing fund of proxima, the made propaganda slogan only needs to pay 10 US dollars, can obtain a residential certificate of proxima colony as well as goes to the proxima „economy class cabin passage ticket”, pays 1000 US dollars words to enjoy the seat of first-class cabin, and can also lead a person to embark. 比如某只将标的设置在比邻星的殖民基金,打出的宣传标语是只需要缴纳十美元,就能够获得一张比邻星殖民地的居民证以及前往比邻星的“经济舱船票”,多缴纳1000美元的话就能享受头等舱的座位并且还能多带一个人上船。 Meanwhile, the passage ticket rises in prices according to the years 5% rates of increment, in other words next year the passage ticket of economy class cabin will need 10.5 US dollars, 100 years later will be 1315.01 US dollars. 与此同时,船票按照年5%的增长率涨价,也就是说明年一张经济舱的船票需要10.5美元,一百年后就是1315.01美元。 Naturally, once the passage ticket sells, does not return a ticket generally, but can actually through the secondary market transaction to other interested parties, before really be will look like 2012, peddles refuge shelter entrance ticket these enterprises. 当然,船票一旦售出,概不退票,不过却可以通过二手市场交易给其他感兴趣的人,实在是像极了2012年前兜售避难所门票的那些企业。 Also some funds take the chip the land, for example besides going to the passage ticket of new world, each pays 100 US dollars then to be able in the colony to obtain one square kilometer land additionally, no matter you want to build the house to plant the crops above. 还有的基金则是将土地作为筹码,比如除了前往新世界的船票之外,每额外支付100美元便能够在殖民地获得一平方公里土地,不管你是想在上面盖房子还是种庄稼都可以。 Naturally, all these, condition that no matter pledges how „attractive”, that the thing that 100 years later can cash. Let alone remains by „competitor acts swiftly to get there first” and „poor management bankruptcy” and „the future policy change” wait a series of risks, possibly makes the certificates in their hand turn into a scrap paper. 当然,所有的这一切,不管开出的条件多么“诱人”,那都是在一百年以后才能够兑现的东西。何况还存在着被“竞争对手捷足先登”、“经营不善破产倒闭”、“未来政策变动”等等一系列的风险,都可能让他们手中的凭证变成一张废纸。 Even if serious, the earnest outer space colonizing fund, even if has nasa or space-x as the guarantee, is still very difficult to make the investors earnest. 所以即使是再严肃、再认真的外空间殖民基金,哪怕是有nasa或者space-x作为担保,也很难让投资者们认真起来。 However, perhaps many publishers have not expected, these seemed like far-fetched to the extreme fund after the release, actually the accident/surprise was welcomed by many. 不过,也许就连不少发行人都没有料到,这些看起来不靠谱到了极点的基金在发行之后,却意外受到了不少人的欢迎。 Although regarding most people, does not draw support from the freezing dormancy to live the interstellar time 1-2 centuries later is almost a impossible matter, but spends 100 US dollars to buy land property card on manufacture fine extraterrestrial citizenship papers and proxima, as if not calculate that owes? 虽然对于绝大多数人来说,不借助冷冻休眠活到一两个世纪以后的星际时代几乎是一件不可能的事情,但花100美元买一张制作精美的外星公民证以及比邻星上的土地产权证,似乎也不算太亏？ Although did not count on oneself can live for 100 years later, can have the opportunity to set foot on own land, but can take the spare time the subject, these several hundred several thousand US dollars regarding the person who these are not short of money, is quite cost-effective. 虽然并不指望自己能够活到一百年后,能够有机会踏上属于自己的土地,但能够作为茶余饭后的谈资,这几百几千美元对于那些不差钱的人来说,还是相当划算的。 Naturally , some quite earnest people, which funds will go carefully to study and screen in colonize the plan layout for the 100 years later extraterrestrials truly, which funds also there are pure in entertainment populace. 当然,也有一些比较认真的人,会去仔细研究并甄别哪些基金是真正地在为一百年后的外星殖民计划布局,又有哪些基金则是纯粹的在娱乐大众。 For example a Texas senior farm operator named Joseph, then spent 1 million US dollars to pat on the proxima 10,000 square kilometers land, took the birthday present to give to itself it just the reach six -year-old little grandsons. 比如一位名叫约瑟夫的德克萨斯州老农场主,便花了100万美元拍下了比邻星上一万平方公里土地,将它作为生日礼物送给了自己刚刚满六岁的小孙子。 This matter triggered the huge stir in the area, even drew on the reporter in next door city. 这件事情在当地引发了巨大的轰动,甚至是招来了隔壁市的记者。 During the interview, this senior farmer regarding can with on own farm together television program performance quite happily, said facing the microphone of reporter jubilantly. 在接受记者的采访时,这位老农民对于能和自己的农场一起上电视节目表现的相当高兴,兴高采烈地面对记者的话筒说道。 „This is a long-term investment, I plan to give my grandson these lands, and regards the family heirloom to pass around!” “这是一笔长远的投资,我打算将这些土地送给我的孙子,并且当成传家宝一直传下去！” Reporter: „You did not worry that this sum of money does have no way to cash in the future?” 记者:“您不担心这笔钱在未来没法兑现吗？” „This is the small probability event, the fund release unit that I choose is Citibank, and I have also carefully studied their capital spending plan. Although their strengths are not strongest, but is actually successfully runs up to the end point in my opinion hopefully!” “这是小概率事件,我选择的基金发行单位是花旗银行,并且我还仔细研究过他们的投资计划。他们的实力虽然不是最强的,但在我看来却是最有希望成功跑到终点的！” Reporter: „You planned that does with these 10,000 square kilometers lands?” 记者:“您打算用这一万平方公里的土地干什么呢？” „This also with asking? Naturally farms! This is 10,000 square kilometers permanent property rights lands, my descendant will become on the proxima the richest farm operator, haha, they will thank my ancestor!” “这还用问吗？当然是种地！这可是一万平方公里的永久产权土地,我的后代将成为比邻星上最富有的农场主,哈哈,他们会感谢我这个老祖宗的！” Looks at this Joseph first on the unfamiliar face the frank smiling face, the reporter a little follows to smile awkwardly, cannot bear continue to ask: „But...... but how you know, the soil and on does the weather environment proxima suit the cultivation?” 看着这位约瑟夫先生脸上爽朗的笑容,记者有点儿尴尬地跟着笑了笑,忍不住继续问道:“可……可是您怎么知道,比邻星上的土壤、气候环境适合耕种呢？” „I do not know, but the intuition told me, this will not compare to exceed the speed of light more difficult.” “我并不知道,但直觉告诉我,这不会比超越光速更难。” Shrugs the arm, the expression on Joseph face appears confident, even is somewhat blind. 耸了耸肩膀,约瑟夫脸上的表情显得信心十足,甚至于有些盲目。 Is facing the lens of interview, he continues to say. 面对着采访的镜头,他继续说道。 „No matter cannot go to outside the star, the person must eat to sate the appetite.” “不管去不去外星球,人总得吃饱饭。” „I believe wants the future some day, we have the condition to go to that far place, the scientists of these research seeds would finding the way to solve these problems, at the worst when the time comes does not plant the corn and potato, plants the point local local product also yes!” “我相信只要未来的某一天,我们有条件去到那么远的地方,那些研究种子的科学家们总会想办法解决这些问题,大不了到时候不种玉米和马铃薯,种点当地的土特产也是可以的！”
