Exploring the universe was of great significance to humanity's development and the continuation of civilization.
Many people wondered whether it was truly worthwhile to spend their limited lifespans exploring an infinite environment at a speed slower than a snail's, at least from the universe's perspective.
In fact, it was worthwhile, and immensely significant.
The planet beneath humanity's feet was rich in mineral resources—or at least it appeared to be.
But in reality, many of those resources were not native to the planet, yet they were here.
That was because, during its formation, countless asteroids had struck it. While hardening its foundation, they had also left resources from every corner of the universe behind.
If humanity could capture even a little of a material or resource that did not exist on this planet, it might unleash a storm across human technological civilization! This was no joke.
Just a tiny amount of a special material could send technology racing forward.
The wealth of the present was nothing more than a string of meaningless numbers to Lin Qi, so he did not hesitate at all to invest in technology.
After all, even if he invested one billion Credit Points by himself, it was equivalent to one billion people contributing one point each.
That was the benefit of a banking monopoly. Everyone's wealth was the bank's asset, and as the bank's highest decision-maker, Lin Qi controlled eighty percent of the world's wealth allocation! The Deputy Station Director looked extremely excited. The constant astronomical discoveries had made him a renowned figure in the field of astronomy, something he had never enjoyed before.
If people could not find a good position during the budding and early barbaric development of a civilization, they were unlikely to have a place later on—not them, nor their families and descendants.
