Listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's introduction, Zhou Xing frowned.
There is no time to delay in developing more covert observation instruments. The system mission period is only 5 years. Even if the observation instruments are developed, there will not be much time left, and the possibility of mission failure is very high.
…
Zhou Xing thought for a long time and finally made a decision: "Give up the first option. We can't be sure about the interference effect of the jammer on the second option, so give up. The only feasible option is to implement indirect data acquisition."
"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, and immediately, a holographic screen was projected into its electronic eyes, showing the star map of the Milky Way.
On the holographic screen, five space tunnel machines appeared on the star map, and they were launched into other star fields.
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and introduced: "Boss, to obtain monitoring data indirectly, we need to build multiple space tunnel machines, and then use the teleportation function of the Miracle Gate to send a few of them out, and then implement timed and fixed points. Once the other party detects it, the communication will be immediately disconnected to ensure that our location cannot be known."
Zhou Xing nodded in understanding. This method of obtaining monitoring data is similar to the principle of hackers using broilers to conduct network intrusions, hiding their location. The only difference is that they use a space tunnel machine instead of a computer.
However, this method requires the use of the "miracle door".
Zhou Xing frowned and couldn't help but hesitate.
The origin of the "Miracle Gate" is mysterious, and it is highly similar to the twenty-odd "Green Gates" on the Dark Zerg home planet. From the attachments spewed by the floating giant insects, it can be inferred that there is a deep connection between them.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi hesitantly, unable to make a decision for a moment: "If you enable the Miracle Gate for ultra-long-distance transmission, the interference power of the Star Gate will inevitably be weakened, and there is a risk that the position of the earth will be deciphered by the Dark Zerg. The consequences..."
Zhou Xiaozhi: "Boss, the transmission channel of the 'Gate of Miracles' has been blocked from the outside, and the specific location cannot be known. Even if the location of the star gate is deciphered, they can only know the approximate location. The 'Gate of Miracles' has been activated before, so they should have Obtain the Milky Way in which the solar system is located.”
Seeing the home planet of the Dark Zerg, the terrifying Zerg Hive, suddenly became a lingering psychological shadow in Zhou Xing's heart.
The "Gate of Miracles" was sealed and abandoned because it was afraid that the "Dark Zerg" would learn the location of the earth. Now after hearing Zhou Xiaozhi's deduction, Zhou Xing felt inexplicably melancholy for a moment.
After a long silence, Zhou Xing reluctantly decided: "Build a few more space tunnel machines first. As for the follow-up, let's wait for the next detection situation!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in agreement.
Soon, Zhou Xiaozhi arranged the production task of manufacturing the space tunnel machine through the Shining Star Group's internal management system.
Zhou Xing sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. Zhou Xiaozhi stood quietly in front of Zhou Xing, arranging production tasks. The spacious reception room was silent.
After a while, Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly said: "Boss, there is an abnormality in the group's business that I need to report to you."
Zhou Xing came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Well, what's going on?"
The operation of the Shining Star Group is now on track, and Zhou Xiaozhi is responsible for supervision and management. He is almost no longer needed to deal with it. How could something abnormal happen
Zhou Xiaozhihui reported: "Boss, the abnormal situation is a virtual business. After the Dark Zerg forces appeared in Civilization and War, the human fleet suffered heavy losses, causing huge economic losses. Now a large number of players, as well as the navy hired by the damaged forces, have released a large number of negative The news seriously hurts our group."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's face changed slightly, and then he showed a look of relief.
The Dark Zerg in Civilization and War almost truly simulates the strength of the Dark Zerg in reality. If it collides with them, the human fleet will definitely suffer losses.
"How is the situation? Let me take a look." Zhou Xing ordered Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Okay, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and immediately, the electronic eye projected a holographic screen, freezing in front of Zhou Xing.
The holographic screen displayed the comment section of the official website of Shining Star Group. Comments appeared one after another, and they were extremely popular.
Zhou Xing's expression condensed, and he stretched out his hand to check the comments.
"Unscrupulous profiteers, please return my hard-earned money!"
"Xingyao Group, give us an explanation, what the hell is that Dark Zerg!"
"My Traveler has one million star coins! It was blown up like this."
"Damn it, the Shining Star Group, 'Civilization and War' is just trying to make money."
"One million star coins are nothing. I lost 30 million this time! The entire fleet was destroyed in less than ten minutes."
"Zhou Xing, I have always admired you in vain. Is it really good for the Shining Star Group to make money like this?"
"The robber is extremely shameless. The Shining Star Group must be closed down!"
"Down with the Shining Star Group and shut down 'Civilization and War'."
“…”
There are millions of comments in the comment area, almost unanimously condemning Shining Star Group, and the form is very severe.
Zhou Xing's face darkened. The "Dark Zerg" caused huge losses to many people. The Shining Star Group, which had indirectly benefited, suddenly became the target of public criticism. If it was not dealt with properly, it would be very bad for him and the Shining Star Group's reputation. unfavorable.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "Xiaozhi, inform the key media that I will hold a press conference tomorrow."
"Okay, boss! Xiaozhi will notify you immediately." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.
With so many people in the comment area slandering Zhou Xing and slandering the Shining Star Group, Zhou Xiaozhi has long been angry. It naturally supports Zhou Xing's decision.
Soon, the formal invitations issued by Shining Star Group were conveyed to the mailboxes of the principals of major news media around the world.
…
In the capital of China, at night, the sky is lit up like a rainbow, and the lights of flying cars passing by form a gorgeous landscape.
On the top floor of the Sifang Building, the headquarters building of Global Times, Yang Yi looked out the window at the spectacular night, and his tired and relaxed spirit could not help but perk up again.
With the establishment of the Human Federation, the capital of China suddenly became the political center of the world. Most of the world's well-known media moved their headquarters here. In the near future, they will focus on the city in the sky established by the Shining Star Group.
Convenient modes of transportation have brought about earth-shaking changes in human society. With the development of global quantum communication technology, the efficiency of news dissemination has become more efficient, which has produced a negative effect. The phenomenon of news homogeneity is very serious. Therefore, it has a negative impact on news practitioners. Work requirements have become more demanding, and the timeliness and independence of news have become extremely important.
As the head of the news department, Yang Yi has a very heavy burden. However, this is a microcosm of the times. Every industry is forced to move forward and strive for the top, otherwise it will only be eliminated.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and someone violently pushed the door open.
"Mr. Yang, it's great that you haven't left yet!" A surprised voice came from behind.
Yang Yi suddenly turned around and saw the panting figure of his subordinate Liu Jiechao.
"Xiao Liu, is there big news?" Yang Yi not only did not blame, but looked at Liu Jiechao with surprise and asked urgingly.
"Mr. Yang, the news team has just received an invitation from Shining Star Group. Zhou Xing will hold a press conference tomorrow. What title should we use to publish this news?" Liu Jiechao reported happily.
Hearing this, Yang Yi looked happy, and his performance for this quarter was saved.
Shining Star Group has always been a big news company, and every time it is a sensational event around the world, the news of a press conference can often be broadcast continuously for more than ten days. In addition, we dig deep into past news events and do one or two news topics. Month time is not a problem.
And the audience also likes to watch it and can watch it several times.
"Look at the news content and arrange it, and quickly notify the advertising department to hold a meeting. All advertising spaces will be auctioned off at a high price tonight." Yang Yi excitedly ordered Liu Jiechao.
"Okay, Mr. Yang!" Liu Jiechao nodded happily and turned to leave.
Yang Yi thought of something and suddenly said: "Xiao Liu, wait a minute! Why is it a press conference? Not a press conference? Did you read it wrong?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiechao was stunned for a moment, and with a tap of his wrist, a holographic screen floated up.
Liu Jiechao took a look at the invitation letter and replied to Yang Yi: "Mr. Yang, this is indeed an announcement meeting, not a press conference!"
Hearing this, Yang Yi's face changed slightly. The difference between press conference and press conference has different meanings.
The Shining Star Group's press conference often means that the genius scientist Zhou Xing has invented another product, or several products that have brought about earth-shaking changes in the world, which is of extremely important historical significance.
But the press conference should only announce some unknown information to the public, and the significance may not be so far-reaching.
"Mr. Yang, this announcement by Xingyao Group should be in response to the 'Civilization and War' Dark Zerg incident." Liu Jiechao showed a clear face, looked at Yang Yi with an ugly face and asked: "Do we still need to inform the advertising department?"
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily and said: "Notify me!"
"Mr. Yang, if the timeliness of this news is too poor and the advertising price is too high, customers will be dissatisfied! Then..." Liu Jiechao looked at Yang Yi and reminded.
Yang Yi nodded in understanding, but his attitude remained unchanged and said firmly: "I know! If you continue to inform, with Zhou Xing's 'weight', I believe it will not be easy for him to announce it in person. ."
Liu Jiechao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I'll be there right away."
After speaking, Liu Jiechao turned around and left impatiently.
Yang Yi followed closely, walked out of the office quickly, and walked to the conference room impatiently, as if a war was coming, walking in a hurry.
At this moment, many media workers, like the News Department of Global Times, received invitations to the Shining Star Group's press conference. They entered a wartime state and began to work all night long.
Early in the morning the next day, news of the press conference held by Shining Star Group spread around the world, and media workers from all over the world gathered in the hall of the Shining Star Group headquarters.
At this moment, the world's attention was once again attracted to Shining Star Group.
After several years, Zhou Xing will finally appear in front of the public. The last time it was because of City in the Sky, but why this time? Countless people around the world stopped doing unimportant things and paid close attention to the live news broadcast of this press conference.
Under the spotlight of everyone, Zhou Xing walked slowly from the back of the stage to the front desk.
After Zhou Xing appeared on the podium, he greeted everyone very formally: "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Xing. Thank you all media friends and distinguished guests for being invited to attend this press conference."
"Bah bang bang..." Thunderous applause immediately resounded throughout the audience.
The audience at the scene looked excited. They focused their eyes on Zhou Xing's face, applauded vigorously, and paid high respects one after another.
Such earth-shaking changes in human society are all due to one person, the admirable genius scientist on stage - Zhou Xing.
"Thank you for your applause!" Zhou Xing looked at the audience gratefully.
Upon hearing this, the fierce applause stopped sparsely.
Knowing that Zhou Xing was about to talk about something important, everyone stopped applauding and sat upright.
"Standing here today, I want to announce a few things to everyone." Zhou Xing went straight to the topic, and then continued: "The first choice is about the Dark Zerg incident in 'Civilization and War'."
Hearing this, everyone showed expected expressions.
The Dark Zerg "run rampant" in "Civilization and War" and severely damaged many forces that explored the depths of the stars and seas, causing heavy losses to countless "explorers". The outside world has questioned the Xingyao Group's use of the opportunity to make money. At this time, Xingyao If the group does not give the world a satisfactory explanation, it will definitely be unjustifiable.
Zhou Xing looked at the audience and smiled slightly, waved his empty hand lightly, and a holographic screen was immediately projected from above.
"Everyone, please look at the holographic screen. This is the beginning and end of the Darkh Zerg invasion of the earth eighteen years ago." Zhou Xing extended his hand to the holographic screen and introduced to everyone.
There was a "crash", and there was a commotion in the audience. Everyone was stunned by the picture played on the holographic screen.
I saw a huge metal door appearing on the holographic screen. A wave of giant insects appeared out of thin air and was subsequently destroyed by humans. Then, another giant insect was teleported out. On the screen, Zhou Xing and US federal officers appeared. They Build a laser drill to destroy the giant insects underground, and then a battle scene of floating giant insects appears. The giant sicklepods fall like dumplings and hunt humans crazily...
Although various cruel and bloody scenes were blurred, the horrific scenes made everyone's hair stand on end and their scalp numb.
"This teleportation star gate is located in the Grand Canyon of Colorado. According to the time identification of the surrounding soil and rock formations, it existed approximately 30,000 to 50,000 years ago. Its star coordinates locate the home planet of the Dark Zerg. What will be played below is , using the teleportation star gate to detect the situation on the Dark Zerg home planet, for this purpose I specially designed the 'Pioneer' giant control mecha..." Zhou Xing introduced while looking at the holographic screen.
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the holographic screen displayed the image of two metal giants more than thirty meters high. In the huge underground experimental area, a large number of scientific research workers were busy nervously. The two metal giants stood in front of the teleportation star gate, a pair of Ready to go.
The viewers watching the live broadcast were collectively stunned. They never expected that Zhou Xing would announce such news.
What is the situation like on the home planet of the Dark Zerg
At this moment, billions of viewers around the world stared at the holographic screen with their eyes wide open, full of curiosity.
