For the technology currently mastered by the Ant Army Group, the cost of developing Mars was already very low.
So everyone could indulge in some imagination when it came to the Mars Project.
But some projects still could not be undertaken.
Take Martian mineral water, for example. Shipping a spacecraft full of water back from Mars might allow them to sell it at a higher price, but the profit would be too low to matter.
After discussion at the meeting, Zhao Min ultimately approved the first phase of Mars development projects, including a Mars research base, jewelry, Mars tourism, and Mars real estate.
The Ant Army Group's plans for commercializing Mars were proceeding in full swing.
Zhao Min demanded that the specific plans and proposals for the projects be submitted as soon as possible. In just three days, all the project plans were completed.
Li Ruoxi handed two reports to Zhao Min.
She was the head of Flying Ant Aerospace, which bore the most direct responsibility for the Mars Project. Flying Ant Aerospace was in charge of two projects: the research base and Mars tourism.
"Several international space organizations have already contacted us to ask about Mars research cooperation. I've prepared three options: leasing, selling, and research sharing.
"The first option is for us to build bases and lease them to them for research purposes, without providing research equipment. The second is for us to build Mars research bases and sell them to them, with a usage term of fifty years before repossession.
"The third is the Lunar Base cooperation model. They buy tickets to station themselves at the Mars research base, and we share a copy of all their research data. Tickets to Mars, food, and equipment transportation costs will be calculated separately and paid by them."
