After asking Zhou Dan about Zhou Yu's current situation, Zhou Xing quit the game with some disinterest.
Entering "Civilization and War", Zhou Xing originally had the idea of destroying Zhou Yu's dream of "battleship commander", but after learning about Zhou Yu's achievements in this field, this idea faded away.
Zhou Xing took off his virtual helmet and sat blankly on the sofa, feeling very heavy.
If Zhou Yu becomes an outstanding interstellar commander in the future, the chances of meeting him will definitely become rare in the future. However, this is not important compared with Zhou Yu realizing his personal dream. The young eagle grows up , it is inevitable to spread one's wings and fly high, so what reason does he have to trap it beside him
Zhou Xing sat there in a daze with a lonely face. Zhou Xiaozhi stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Boss, you have a problem? Do you need my help?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Zhi, I'm fine."
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiaozhi was doubtful. After being in contact with Zhou Xing for so long, he had learned to "watch his words". Judging from Zhou Xing's demeanor and tone, he was 90% sure that this was a "white lie".
"Okay! I'm worried about the future. Once Xiaoyu becomes the commander, he will soon leave me." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with a wry smile and explained.
"Huh? Then why not let Xiaoyu become the commander?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and suggested.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing burst into laughter and reached out to touch Zhou Xiaozhi's little head: "No, this idea is too selfish. Xiaoyu has the life he wants to live, and I can't stop him."
"Oh! What should we do? Xiaozhi doesn't want to see his boss unhappy." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.
"It's okay, I have my own things to do." Zhou Xing smiled, looked straight, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, how many expert engineers are there in the manufacturing field in 'Civilization and War'?"
"Boss, expert-level qualifications are more difficult to test. There are currently 6.96 million. In ten days, it is expected that there will be 7 million." Zhou Xiaozhi answered Zhou Xing.
"Well, there is a bit missing. What about related technological inventions? New technologies that can be used in space docks, spaceships, bases, materials... and other fields." Zhou Xing nodded in understanding and looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and continued to ask.
"Boss, we have obtained a total of 12.45 million technology patents, including 2.86 million patents in the aerospace field, 150,000 Class A patents, 570,000 Class B patents...; 9.12 million patents in the industrial manufacturing field, 470,000 Class A patents, and 470,000 Class B patents. There are 1.79 million Class-A patents and Class-C patents..." Zhou Xiaozhi answered in detail.
Zhou Xing nodded and was overjoyed. "Civilization and War" uses a simulation system that simulates the real environment. A large part of the technology developed in it can be transformed into real experimental technology, which is equivalent to passing "Civilization and War" Star Yao The group learned about the development prospects of human civilization.
"Xiaozhi, select suitable patented technologies for negotiation and acquisition, and implement these technologies as soon as possible. At the same time, send out application notices to all experts with advanced skills and above, arrange suitable positions and salaries, optimize the project portfolio, and promote these patents Technology." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered.
"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed, and immediately, the computing power of 10 trillion times per second was fully operational.
After a few minutes, Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly reminded Zhou Xingdao: "Boss, the star currency exchange strategy and global talent recruitment, these two actions will have an 87% interest rate and cause negative effects on government agencies around the world."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was silent for a while. With the development of Xingyao Group, human civilization is about to enter the interstellar era. The "institution" of the state is increasingly weakening in promoting civilization, and instead becomes a burden that hinders the development of human civilization.
"Country" in a broad sense refers to a social group that shares a common language, culture, race, ancestry, territory, government or history. From a narrow perspective, a country is a form of community formed by groups of people within a certain range.
In the past, the country as an organization could fight for the interests of its citizens, resist foreign enemies, work together for development... and so on, and all kinds of benefits.
However, with the advent of the interstellar age, all mankind has more than two hundred countries. Such an organizational structure has seriously hindered the development of mankind.
Zhou Xing pondered for a while, then looked at Zhou Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "Send a notice that there will be a global live video broadcast tomorrow. I want to announce two things."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in agreement.
Soon, many Civilization and War players received a surprising news at the same moment.
Ollis, Talson Base, Professional Promotion Evaluation Center, the scene was plunged into a sea of joy.
"I received a job offer from Shining Star Group, with an annual salary of one million! Haha!"
"Xingyao Group wants to buy my patent for the automatic arm adjustment lever. Haha, I'm going to make a fortune!"
"Me too, me too, Shining Star Group is interested in my ball-to-gear patent, haha, I'm going to get rich too!"
"What's going on? Why didn't I receive any information? What's the level of your skills?"
"I'm a senior!"
“…”
In the noisy career center, some players were excited and some were jealous. They looked at their information columns with joy.
The official emails from Shining Star Group have made countless players ecstatic. Shining Star Group is known to the world and has the most advanced technology in mankind. Obtaining an appointment letter from this company is equivalent to obtaining a "certificate of competency" , very rare.
Reduce the "Star Coin" commission, expand the scope of transactions, recruit technical experts in the game, purchase patents... all kinds of things, the layout of the Star Group in "Civilization and War" suddenly aroused the fear of governments around the world.
Life-extending genetic technology, controllable nuclear fusion, virtual networks, "Xingyao", intelligent robots... all in all, the Xingyao Group has the financial resources to rival other countries in the world, and political influence that no big country can match.
The actions of the Shining Star Group in Civilization and War suddenly touched the nerves of politicians around the world. The virtual currency "Star Coin" has the ability to replace the "Hua Yuan" as the human credit currency. High-skilled people are recruited from all over the world. In reality, they are unable to First, they are not high-level talents, which will produce a huge talent drainage effect.
Nowadays, Shining Star Group wants money, people, and status, which seriously threatens the governments of various countries. All of a sudden, the governments of various countries have held emergency meetings to find solutions.
In the center of China's political power, in a closed conference room, a meeting was taking place.
"Lawless, what exactly did he want to do? Why didn't he inform us of this decision in advance?" Liu Zengguo asked from the chairman's seat, glaring at Mr. Xu.
"Yes! Lao Xu, you have the deepest friendship with him. How could something like this happen? Huayuan is in a critical period now..." Yang Jie, who was in charge of the financial system on the right side of the chairman's seat, asked.
Mr. Xu looked bitter, looked at everyone and sighed helplessly: "Xingyao Group's wings have become stiff, and now it wants to fly. Is there any way we can stop it?"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless. With the large-scale development of the "Xingyao" industrial chain, the Xingyao Group is now a behemoth, with huge influence on governments of various countries. The virtual game "Civilization" "War" is a second world that all human beings cannot live without, and its influence is everywhere.
To impose sanctions on such a company is to catch a hedgehog with nowhere to start. Once a backlash occurs, the consequences will be immeasurable.
"How to solve this problem now? The weight of Star Coin exceeds Hua Yuan, and the strategy implemented by Shining Star Group has seriously threatened the national currency strategy." Yang Jie looked at everyone and asked.
Many faces looked at each other, falling into silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Mr. Wen looked at everyone and broke the silence: "Xingyao Group is recruiting talents from all over the world. I want to know what he wants to do next."
"That's right, after Zhou Xing's arrangement, he will definitely have some backup plans."
"Old Xu, is there any way to know?"
“…”
Everyone focused on Mr. Xu's face and asked nervously.
Shining Star Group has issued a recruitment order to all technical experts around the world. What will he do next? Will it have a greater impact? This problem has become a lingering shadow in everyone's mind.
Mr. Xu nodded and watched everyone change the topic: "Understood, I will come to the door in person tomorrow. Now let's think about how to solve the threat of 'Star Coins' to Huayuan's structure!"
After hearing this, the venue fell silent, and everyone was speechless.
It is impossible to implement coercive measures against the Shining Star Group. Zhou Xing's layout of "Civilization and War" is completely a conspiracy, just and fair, with no effective countermeasures.
There was silence for a long time, no one spoke.
"To break Zhou Xing's plan on 'Star Coin', it is a good choice to forcefully limit the scale of virtual currency exchange."
"Yes, we can unite governments of various countries to limit the exchange scale of star coins."
"No, this kind of violent policy can easily cause a backlash from Shining Star Group. With Zhou Xing's prestige among people around the world, it will be difficult to check and balance him."
"If we don't do this, how can we just watch the interstellar group's virtual currency replace the country's currency?"
"this… "
“…”
The meeting was short-lived, and then everyone started to add and improve their opinions.
At this critical moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Come in." Liu Zengguo's face darkened and he shouted loudly.
If there is no important matter, the subordinates will never interrupt their meeting rashly. Everyone looked at the door with a calm look on their faces.
With a "click", a staff member hurried into the conference room, looking panicked.
"Chief, we have received news that at 10:30, Zhou Xing, chairman of the Shining Star Group, is preparing to make a live video announcement to the world." The staff hurriedly entered the conference room to report.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
"I knew that kid must have some tricks up his sleeve. It's going to be bad now, and there's no room for recovery." Mr. Wen said with an ugly face.
Mr. Xu looked at the staff and ordered: "Global live broadcast, hurry up, turn on the holographic screen."
The staff acted as ordered, and soon, a holographic projection rose in the center of the conference table.
I saw Zhou Xing sitting behind the spacious mahogany desk, and the live video broadcast had just started.
On the holographic screen, Zhou Xing was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a serious expression on his face, looking very formal.
"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to meet you in this way today." Zhou Xing greeted everyone in his opening remarks towards the camera.
Zhou Xing's global live video broadcast was too sudden. Is something big going to happen
Suddenly, countless people around the world stopped what they were doing and started paying attention.
As soon as the opening remarks were over, Zhou Xing immediately got to the point and continued: "It has been more than 20 years since the establishment of the Xingyao Group. The human world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Mars base is under construction, the Xingyao project is still going on, and the virtual game civilization The war has given us a second world, and life-extension biotechnology has given us a long lifespan... "
Zhou Xing introduced many changes that have taken place in human society. With a straight face, he continued: "Now we are still facing several serious problems, including the increasing global population, the continuous extinction of biological species, and the decreasing demand for jobs... "
Listening to Zhou Xing's description, countless viewers who were following the live broadcast were shocked and inexplicably excited, because they knew that next, Zhou Xing would announce another big event.
Learning from the past, every time Zhou Xing appears, a product that changes the world is released. What technological products will be released this time? Countless people are full of expectations.
Under the expectation of thousands of people, Zhou Xing solemnly announced: "With the advancement of science and technology, many problems will be solved. First of all, we must solve the problem of expanding population development. Since the Mars base will be unable to meet the needs of the expanding population in the short term, Shining Star Group has decided to launch the Sky City project.”
"Castle in the Sky!"
Countless people were staring at the holographic screen, their minds shocked.
"Using controllable nuclear fusion technology, intelligent control technology, and biochemical technology... the future sky city will be a pollution-free, consumption-free city that can fly freely." Zhou Xing looked at the camera and spoke solemnly.
It was like a thunder on the ground, instantly shocking countless people.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xing waved his hand, and a three-dimensional hologram appeared in front of him, introducing: "The City in the Sky is based on a controllable energy station, using particle engines to build floating boards, and using circular ecological planting technology to create food. Supply system, use new nano-alloy materials, intelligent pressure control technology... and so on, to build a floating city."
Zhou Xing paused for a moment and continued to explain: "Sky City will be a larger project than Xingyao. It requires the unity of all mankind. The construction period of Sky City is expected to be two years. After completion, it will be able to supply millions At the same time, Sky City will be a city that can increase its area infinitely, and its population can grow incrementally every year... "
…
At this moment, countless viewers around the world who watched the video collectively fell into silence, stunned by the scene described by Zhou Xing.
