The End of Technology - Chapter 260 Overturning the table

The internal meeting at the base lasted an hour.

It didn’t go as smoothly as Zhuo Mingqian thought, nor as bad as he imagined. After all, people’s forgetfulness is too great, or after a long period of peace, they will always unconsciously attribute the good life they are living to their so-called ability.

People are always good at deceiving themselves.

Zhuo Mingqian felt that at least in terms of self-awareness, he surpassed many people in Fukonglou. Because he knows exactly how everything was obtained. If he followed the previous plan, Zhuo Mingqian knew that he could successfully stay in school as a counselor when he graduated. At this age, he would either transfer to an administrative position and get an associate professor title, or become a lecturer. At most, he would be an associate professor. Oh my god.

But now he is the most authoritative deputy director of the world’s most advanced scientific research base. Zhuo Mingqian has always known who arranged all this.

He knew better what he was going to do. That is, no matter how many people from the outside world come in through any means, he has to help Ning Zi to guard against it. After all, Ning Zi could not focus on management. But in fact, Zhuo Mingqian also knew that his role was not that big, because there was a management model formulated by Zhinao.

In the past, all he needed to do was probably make the base operate strictly in accordance with the management model formulated by Zhi Nao. Of course, it is impossible for the human factor to be completely strict in it. It’s like perfect things don’t exist in this world, because in a sense his power at the base comes from that. After all, no matter how intelligent the system is, it is too rigid in the eyes of humans.

Therefore, Zhuo Mingqian can always open the back door occasionally without affecting the scientific research efficiency of the base. During the year-end assessment, adding a few extra points during manual evaluation, or occasionally doing some benefit exchanges are all allowed by the rules.

But things were different this time, so he stood clearly on Ning Zi’s side.

Normally, he doesn’t talk that much, and even in meetings like this, he seems to have no sense of presence. But this time it was not something that the brain could judge, so he said a lot in his summary. It seems to be working well now. But he has the same worries as most people…

This matter must not affect mankind’s extraterrestrial development plan!

This is the most fundamental thing. If the transformation of Mars is still a luxury after ten years, and there is no hope of successful development of even interstellar mineral deposits, the current leap-forward development model will most likely collapse…

damn it!

Although he was worried, Zhuo Mingqian used his own account to log in to the Intelligent Brain backend immediately after the meeting, and then entered the authorization code given by other directors after the internal meeting. After obtaining the system certification, he issued the code in the name of the top management of the base. A series of notifications.

After doing all this, Zhuo Mingqian glanced at the content one last time, then pressed the send button with a wry smile.

Then he stood up again and moved his body. After these messages were sent, he had no intention of sleeping.

Tonight, I am destined to have no sleep.

…

In fact, when the video of more than 2,000 aerospace ships from several Chinese bases taking off and heading straight into space spread across the Internet, the whole world became lively.

Those are more than two thousand floating ships that can shuttle through space…

According to official statistics, the total number of Fengming series aerostats currently used for aviation purposes in the earth’s atmosphere is only over 2,000. In this way, airlines around the world often need to queue up to buy or lease new Fengming series floating vessels due to production capacity issues.

In the field of civil aviation, most passenger aircraft operating on trunk routes have long been replaced by airships. Currently, there are only about 20,000 former civil aircraft responsible for cargo and some branch line operations.

There is no way. The anti-gravity floating ship is not only safe enough, but also has a larger internal space and is more comfortable. The large-scale Fengming series airships are even like cruise ships, and their internal facilities can be extremely luxurious. Canteens, cinemas, and various facilities are available.

But the most important thing is that this thing is so cheap to fly.

The smallest Fengming series spacecraft can carry twice as many passengers as the largest wide-body passenger aircraft, and the fuel cost for the same voyage is less than one-sixth of that of such a passenger aircraft. Maintenance and maintenance costs are about one-tenth of those of passenger aircraft.

These are profits for airlines.

What’s more important is that after many Chinese airlines have equipped air jets, and passengers can enjoy services that are not inferior to the private jets of rich people with similar tickets, naturally there are not many people on the former planes, and they can barely operate. Can lose money.

Therefore, Boeing, Airbus and a series of small aircraft manufacturers were forced to declare bankruptcy six years ago and then reorganize in the tide of the times. Outdated production techniques were eliminated, and then new technologies were introduced from China.

The two once world-rich families have now become assembly plants for the Fengming series of civil aviation ships. This is a business that was obtained at great cost. After all, we cannot just watch these two wealthy companies that involve the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people collapse like that.

This is just an insignificant scene in the ten-year profile. Many such small changes were activated when thousands of aerospace ships took off.

And when the China University of Space Exploration directly made the reasons for the aerospace ship public, the undercurrent had already begun to surge.

At this time it reaches its peak.

…

“Notice: The scientific research base of China Space Exploration University will officially withdraw from the International Lunar Management Committee with immediate effect. It will formally take back all space ship leasing rights and the rights to jointly manage and maintain the Earth-Moon Channel from the International Lunar Management Committee. It will resolutely investigate and investigate the case. Responsibility for the Lunar Channel explosion. All companies related to the explosion will pay the due price.”

“Notice: The rights to operate the Earth-Moon Channel will be independently managed by the China Space Exploration University Research Base from immediately on. Any aerospace craft must report to the base before entering the Earth-Moon Channel. Otherwise, the base reserves the right to use arbitrary disciplinary measures.”

“Notice: All technical, supervisory and management personnel stationed abroad at the Huaxia University of Space Exploration’s scientific research base will stop all work immediately and prepare for evacuation. Until the official investigation of the responsibility for the Earth-Moon Channel explosion accident is completed, the base will suspend all foreign research and technical cooperation tasks . All losses caused will be borne by the person ultimately responsible for this accident!”

“Notice: All external cooperative laboratories of the Wu Gang and Nu Wa scientific research ships are temporarily closed, and all experiments by scientists not affiliated with the base are suspended. Laboratories that have successfully applied need to be resubmitted for review, and all submitted applications are suspended for review.”

“Notice: The sharing of all planet samples with the outside world is suspended. Laboratories that have obtained samples from each planet must return all samples including but not limited to extraterrestrial rock formations, soil, various crystals, etc. within two days. The parts that have been used must be submitted for use Records and analysis reports. Laboratory managers and key researchers who fail to return records or analysis reports after the due date or whose use records and analysis reports are inconsistent with the actual number of samples consumed will be included in the base’s permanent non-cooperation blacklist.”

“Notice: From now on, the scientific research base of China University of Space Exploration will cancel all projects authorized to use Japan and South Korea. All patents, technologies, and products related to the scientific research base of China University of Space Exploration will not be allowed to be used by the two islands from now on. . Within three days, all machines, equipment, and services in use including the scientific research base of China University of Space Exploration must be stopped immediately. Manufacturers or individuals who continue to provide related services such as machine, equipment operation, maintenance, network, etc. will be suspended. Be included in the base cooperation list and cooperation will be permanently cancelled.”

…

No one was prepared. When six notifications were suddenly displayed at 2:10 in the morning in China, they quickly spread around the world. It is truly unimaginable news. Each piece of news accurately hits the soft underbelly of the capital market.

Less than two minutes after the notification was posted on the Internet, the entire stock market that was still trading in the Western Hemisphere experienced the largest black swan event in an instant. All listed stocks began to plummet rapidly, especially various stocks closely related to space.

Of course, in this era, even mining has to focus on extraterrestrial mineral deposits. Is there any industry in the world that is not related to space?

At this moment, many people remembered what Ning Zi said two years ago when the Kuafu was launched: “No one can extinguish the starlight in the sky.”

Ah……

But the roar of the base can really extinguish the light on the earth…

…

Earth, Sun Island, Kyoto, inside a building.

It’s the same early morning, the same sleepless night.

In a certain conference room, the lights were brightly lit.

A group of people with different skin colors and races were sitting together having a heated discussion.

In fact, holographic simulation technology has become very common now. Various conference software relying on holographic simulation technology can support people to use holographic technology to simulate various conference scenes. Even if they are anywhere in the world, they can create a realistic conference scene.

Just like the scientific research base of China Space Exploration University, even if the main participants are all in the same floating building, they still choose the holographic conference method to hold the meeting. Because this is really convenient. Advanced technology can directly record the entire meeting process and you can look back at it at any time.

Even if it is a confidential meeting, the confidentiality level of the meeting can be adjusted at any time, so it is indeed difficult to find this traditional and old-fashioned meeting method now.

But the traditional method has its benefits after all. For example, it can give people a sense of security in the information age.

Just like today, there are no electronic devices in the conference room. Personal computers were also confiscated before entry.

So no matter who said or did anything, theoretically it will not be recorded by modern equipment.

Just when the argument was at its most intense, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and then a man in his thirties rushed in. When everyone’s eyes fell on him, he quickly spoke about what had just been released. Message: “Everyone, three minutes ago, China University of Space Exploration issued six notices in the name of their scientific research base. The contents of these six notices are…”

As the thirty-year-old man continued to report news, the conference room gradually became quiet. Until after the six messages were finished, the entire conference room could hear the drop of a pin. Everyone stopped arguing and started looking at each other. Then there was only the sound of swallowing.

The conference room that was extremely noisy just now was completely different from what it was now.

Obviously, these news were completely unexpected by everyone.

Too intense, too decisive, too impossible!

The whole world knows that if you really want to conquer space, you need the overall dispatch and planning of the earth. In fact, the space research base has always done this. Now just because a ship was bombed, which could even be declared as an operational error, the base has withdrawn all its tentacles from the outside world…

crazy!

Really crazy!

Does China want to complete the entire Mars transformation plan on its own? Mining all the resources in the solar system?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

But everyone knows that this news will not be unfounded.

Many people can’t wait to get their personal computers back to see the consequences.

Of course, there is no need to look at it.

Most of the people who can sit in the conference room are rich or noble.

The most basic judgment and analytical skills of people who can have wealth are not too bad. The impact is probably well understood.

For example, if this matter is really irreversible, at least half of the people in the conference room will be bankrupt, and the other half will probably be more than bankrupt.

Without any preparation, someone just flipped the table over.

“Jiang Chuan, what are you talking about? Do you still want to protect people? Are you really doing this?!”

Finally, someone broke the silence in the conference room with an angry tone.

No one answered.

The person being asked is in a daze.

Why is this so?

“Mr. Franco, please calm down first. No one wants to see this situation now. Now is not the time to hold people accountable. And this matter may be a misunderstanding. If we pay…”

“The price, the price, while you are still arguing about the price, they have already taken action! They brag about your cultural similarities every day, do you really know what they think?”

“Maybe they just want to find an excuse to kick all of us…”

“That’s enough, who gave the excuse to China?”

“Everyone said this was just an accident. No one expected this to happen.”

“Even if the base does not withdraw, you will be expelled from the Lunar Alliance, so I want to drag everyone into the water at once. Everyone, this is the truth!”

“But as you all know, no one gave the order.”

“It’s just that there was no order issued in the system! Just like today, who knew we would get together?”

“That’s what happened, now we need to…”

“You are dead. These are all your mistakes. The attackers are your people.”

“What do you mean? You are our people…”

“Everyone, calm down, we can talk, we can talk, it will be impossible to conquer space…”

“Bang bang…”

“ah……”

“you……”

“Jiangchuan…”

“Everyone, sit down!”

…

The chaotic situation finally returned to calm, but the two people in the conference room were already lying on the ground…

“Everyone, Jiang Chuantian and Zheng Ze’an planned this attack. They just committed suicide out of fear of crime.”

a long time……

“enough?”
