Chapter 427: The Rising Civilization (5)

Views:

The press conference of Shining Star Group has come to an end.

The impact of controllable nuclear fusion on human society follows the development direction described by Zhou Xing at the press conference. Zhou Xiaozhi accurately deduced human society’s response to controllable nuclear fusion technology.

In the global economy, oil, coal, natural gas...etc., futures prices have plummeted, prices of other mineral resources have skyrocketed, stocks of companies involved in various people's livelihood technologies have collectively risen, and countless investors around the world are collectively optimistic about the promotion of controllable nuclear fusion energy in other fields. .

International oil prices have plummeted, ranging from US$50, US$40, US$20, US$10... Oil, the "black blood" of the development of human civilization, has plummeted like a collapse, and the economies of energy countries that rely on rich oil resources to make money are even worse.

The currencies of China and the United States showed two extremes. The US dollar index plummeted, the Chinese dollar soared, and the currencies of various energy countries depreciated... Suddenly, due to the birth of controllable nuclear fusion, the global economy was in great turmoil.

Once controllable nuclear fusion came out, the gold content of oil plummeted, and the system supporting global oil trading collapsed. The center of the world immediately shifted 180 degrees, and heads of state invariably requested visits to China.

In the top-floor conference room of the Shining Star Group headquarters building, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Xie Liwu... all the core executives of Shining Star Group gathered together. They looked at Zhou Xing with worried eyes.

"Mr. Zhou, because of the controllable nuclear fusion, the current global situation is very bad, the world monetary system is in chaos, and our group's business will suffer huge exchange losses." Lin Wei looked at Zhou Xing and reminded with a solemn expression. .

Zhou Xing nodded: "I know that this kind of loss is unavoidable."

With the advent of controllable nuclear fusion, Zhou Xiaozhi has deduced the impact. In the short term, the human economy will be greatly turbulent. However, this situation will soon stabilize with controllable nuclear fusion and other projects.

Xie Liwu looked at Zhou Xing with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, the situation in the country is also very serious. Will the higher ups hold you accountable?"

Affected by this press conference, the domestic energy system was almost completely wiped out. The ongoing stock market was dragged down by the huge decline in the energy industry. The stock index fell below the historical maximum on that day. The impact was shocking.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Xing worriedly, fearing that he would be criticized.

Zhou Xing shook his head and smiled, looked at everyone and reassured: "The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you don't need to worry about this issue."

"Understood!" Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Zhou Xing looked at everyone and introduced with a smile: "Next, I have an important research to conduct. I can't be distracted in a short time. The group's business needs to continue to rely on everyone's support."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Xing and smiled bitterly.

They have become accustomed to this kind of situation. After every press conference, Zhou Xing will arrange business tasks for them. Then, he will be the hands-off shopkeeper, and then hide in the laboratory for a long time. When he throws things away again, When it appears, a major technology is about to be born.

"Mr. Zhou, controllable nuclear fusion technology has just come out, and there are many issues that urgently need to be solved by you. Could you please wait a little longer before starting research." Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing and added.

"Yes! Mr. Zhou, you should stay in charge for at least a while!" Xie Liwu persuaded Zhou Xing.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xing and nodded in unison.

The press conference has just ended, and controllable nuclear fusion technology has come out. Next, you don’t have to think about it. Once Zhou Xing becomes the boss, they will immediately become guests of various international conferences, involving the licensing of controllable nuclear fusion technology, and negotiations for huge interests. , division... and a series of extremely serious problems.

Zhou Xing smiled, looked at everyone and said gratefully: "The group's achievements today are inseparable from everyone's efforts. Xiaozhi will provide you with specific implementation plans. There are specialties in the technical field, and I am better at technical research, which involves business." I still need you to share the negotiation issues for me."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They were grateful for Zhou Xing's trust in them and understood his approach. What could they say when faced with such a boss

Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing and asked, "Mr. Zhou, who do you plan to entrust this project to?"

Zhou Xing thought for a moment, looked at Xie Liwu, and asked, "Lao Yang is already responsible for the 'Xingyao' project. Lao Xie, how about leaving this matter to you?"

Hearing this, Xie Liwu's expression changed, he was both excited and worried.

The impact of controllable nuclear fusion on human society is no less than that of the ongoing "Xingyao" project and the life-extending genetic medicine. Being able to take charge of this project means that he will have the opportunity to be remembered in human history.

Huge opportunities are also accompanied by huge risks. Once you are not responsible and something happens, then...

Xie Liwu suppressed his excitement, looked at Zhou Xing, and said unconfidently: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid I can't take charge of such a big project as controlled nuclear fusion. Look..."

Zhou Xing smiled and nodded, looking at Lin Wei: "Sister Lin..."

"I'm really busy here! Mr. Zhou, why don't you let your father take charge?" Lin Wei frowned and suggested.

Xie Liwu perked up and added: "Yes! Mr. Zhou, it is definitely appropriate to let Mr. Hai come!"

Zhou Wenhai is Zhou Xing's father, and it is most appropriate for him to take charge of this major project.

Zhou Xing glanced at everyone's faces one by one. Seeing that their expressions were similar and they looked like they agreed, he couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, Lao Xie, please help my father when the time comes."

Xie Liwu nodded happily: "No problem!"

Zhou Xing nodded, looked at Chen Fan and asked: "Mr. Chen, the interstellar version of 'Civilization and War' will open tomorrow. How are the preparations going? Do you need help with any questions?"

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Xing with a complicated expression, nodded and said, "There is no problem for the time being."

Zhou Xing used mysterious means to manage the most complex operating system of "Civilization and War" after the revision. He could not touch the core technology at all. The maintenance of other server operations, with the technical reserves of Xingyao Group, was not technically difficult at all.

Aren't you Mr. Zhou's confidant? That's why he kept it a secret to himself.

its not right! I can participate in this core meeting...

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Xing absently, worrying about gains and losses.

Zhou Xing nodded, turned to look at the others, and continued to arrange the group's affairs.

At the Anyang dormant cabin base, the huge hemispherical building is like a "pot lid". The "lid" is on the ground of hundreds of thousands of square meters. A large group of eight-clawed spider-like engineering robots are attached to it, flexibly dismantling the covering surface and arranging solar panels. Electrical board.

In the base control room, Liu Dapeng stared at and monitored the robot's operations, getting distracted from time to time and looking like he was chatting away in every possible way.

Chen Gen walked up to Liu Dapeng and handed him a cigarette. He smiled and said, "Old Liu, take one."

Liu Dapeng nodded and took the cigarette, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it.

Liu Dapeng puffed out a mouthful of white mist, looked at the cigarette in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Why, I've changed to cigarettes today! It tastes good."

"Haha, my power maintenance skills have passed the intermediate assessment, and I can start making profits in the future." Chen Gen said happily with a smile.

Liu Dapeng asked with envy: "I have reached an intermediate level in maintenance! Can I earn 'star coins' in a day now?"

"Two hundred an hour!" Chen Gen smiled.

Hearing this, Liu Dapeng immediately blushed: "So much? If you work for five hours a day, wouldn't you have an income of 5,000 yuan?"

"Not that much. The proportion of star currency transactions has dropped recently. Besides, if your skills don't continue to improve, your income will definitely decrease." Chen Gen smiled and shook his head.

Liu Dapeng's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "How low can it be! Now the national game may go back up tomorrow. If I were you, I would have resigned a long time ago. I can earn more than 100,000 yuan a month!"

Chen Gen chuckled, shook his head and said, "Haha, resign! Let's forget it! Our company has such good benefits and not many things to do. It's a pity to resign."

Hearing this, Liu Dapeng sighed. He was just saying this. If he really wanted him to resign and play games, he really couldn't make this decision.

Liu Dapeng looked at Chen Gen enviously and asked with a smile: "Congratulations! Should I treat you to a rub?"

"Easy to say, easy to say! What about yours? Haven't you passed it yet?" Chen Gen nodded and asked with a smile.

"Oh, forget it. After the base is dismantled, I plan to take some time off and pass the intermediate mechanical level first." Liu Dapeng sighed and said firmly.

"Well! You have to hurry up. The sooner you improve your skills, the better the money-making effect will be. If it's later, the competition will get bigger and bigger." Chen Gen nodded and reminded solemnly.

Hearing this, Liu Dapeng nodded, feeling very heavy.

The revised "Civilization and War" completely simulates the background of the interstellar era, the vast space universe, giant space cities, sci-fi interstellar ships, lunar bases... The extremely realistic sci-fi colors make it feel like being in the future world, which has attracted countless players around the world. The intoxication.

This game not only has an extremely sci-fi interstellar background, but also has an excellent skill learning system. In terms of commodity trade, raw material output, mechanical design... etc., it establishes a free cycle economic system, civilization and war. The status of "star coins" has become another kind of credit currency, attracting countless players around the world to join. Many people have given up real work and turned to games... As time goes by, the "star coins" in the game will become more and more popular. It’s getting harder and harder to earn.

Liu Dapeng looked at Chen Gen and asked with concern: "Is the base empty? Is your transfer confirmed?"

Chen Gen is the guardian of the hibernation base. He is mainly responsible for inspecting the low-temperature hibernation chamber and troubleshooting abnormal problems.

"This is the last batch. I will be relieved when they complete Kang Hu's training." Chen Gen smiled sheepishly, looked at Liu Dapeng's explanation, and said: "As for the transfer, it has not been determined yet because I plan to take a long vacation. Let’s make some extra money first.”

Liu Dapeng nodded in understanding and was very envious. After the base dismantling work was completed, he would also take the opportunity to take a long vacation to improve his skills.

With the emergence of life-extending genetic medicines, the cryogenic dormancy cabin base has lost its role, and users in the cryogenic dormancy cabin have gradually released their dormant states.

In the rehabilitation room of the cryogenic dormancy base, the last group of elderly people are undergoing rehabilitation training. Some are walking slowly on treadmills, some are receiving robot massage, and some are doing strength training... The scene is very lively.

An old man hobbling on crutches said loudly with regret on his face: "If I had known that the life-extending gene potion would be invented so quickly, I wouldn't have frozen into hibernation. It makes me feel so uncomfortable now!"

"Who says it's not the case! After several years of dormancy, we are now almost eliminated by the times." An old man being supported by a machine said with emotion.

Hearing this, everyone followed his gaze and saw that the TV hanging on the wall was playing a magnificent news picture.

The giant oval shipyard occupies the entire TV screen. The flying car in the sky becomes as small as a bird. A half-finished giant spaceship lies in the center of the shipyard. Various engineering robots and huge "pioneers" , eight-legged load-bearing robots, huge assembly manipulators... all busy in an orderly manner.

"'Xingyao' is currently in the process of assembling the most important power thruster. Once the assembly inspection is passed, it means that 'Xingyao' will complete 66% of the construction progress. The next work will be some simple projects. Audience friends If things go well, we will be able to see the Star Glory taking off in the middle of next year."

"Friends in the audience, I have some definite news here. Once the Xingyao test flight is successful, the Xingyao Group will build two more shipyards and successively produce 12 spaceships, namely: Qichen, Tianma..."

“…”

The excited voice of the female news anchor came from the TV speakers one after another, introducing in detail the construction progress of the "Xingyao".

"The world is changing so fast. It's only been a few years! It's getting harder and harder to understand." A silver-haired old lady said with a grimace.

Everyone nodded. The pace of scientific and technological progress in the world is too fast. They have not entered the dormant cabin for ten years. In the real world, flying cars are flying all over the sky, robots are everywhere, energy is so cheap that it seems to be free, and society has become extremely harmonious... everything. Everything is happening so quickly that people can’t handle it.

The square-faced old man walking slowly on the treadmill laughed and said: "Haha! If you don't understand, just read slowly! We still have a lot of time anyway!"

Hearing this, the old faces couldn't help but reveal bright smiles, yes! They have all been injected with life-extending potions now, and they still have a lot of time to witness the progress of human civilization with their own eyes.

Controllable nuclear fusion, global quantum communications, the interstellar version of "Civilization and War", and the ongoing "Xingyao" project... Various high technologies have greatly promoted the development of human civilization, and as time goes by, the effects are becoming more and more obvious.

The negative impact of controllable nuclear fusion has gradually been eliminated, and human civilization has ushered in a process of improvement from quantitative change to qualitative change. A rising civilization is like the rising sun.
