Urban Inventor

Chapter 318 World Events

The virtual world is equivalent to creating a complete world from scratch. This world is even many times more magnificent than the earth. Therefore, even if the most critical "human-computer interaction" problem is solved, the birth of the virtual world still takes a long time. And Zhang Wei set the world in June 2024. For this goal, the future technology company launched a new round of recruitment, and frantically poached people from major companies and world-class universities, and recruited the staff of the virtual world project team. It has increased to 53,000. Fortunately, the future technology company has been expanding, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people. ◢Follow◢Dream◢Novel◢Novel Щщшā

This action of the future technology company has also aroused suspicion from the outside world, because most of these newly recruited employees are elites in the computer field. The media have speculated that perhaps the virtual world project of the future technology company has made a breakthrough and has entered the The final stage of preparation. The major Internet companies also think so, and have accelerated the pace of strategic adjustments to meet the upcoming Internet revolution.

Gamers all over the world are also very excited, gearing up and discussing the virtual world in their hearts enthusiastically. Internet writers have also seen that the virtual world is a hot topic, and they have used their rich imagination to release virtual online game novels. It is said that readers are very interested in this subject at this time, which makes the subscriptions of these novels hit new highs, and makes these online writers grin from ear to ear.

It is worth mentioning that all online writers nowadays are writing novels with Deep Blue 1, and they can just think with their heads. As long as they have rich imagination and don’t get stuck in writing, it is very easy to create 20,000 to 30,000 words in an hour. Daily updates There are hundreds of thousands of novels everywhere, and there are also madmen with daily updates of 200,000, which make readers happy and distressed, and some readers complain, "Nimei, I can't read novels as fast as you can write novels!"

In addition, a new model has been born in the current online novels, that is, online writers display the novel scenes imagined in their minds through Dark Blue 1, then edit and record them, and the readers can see Each chapter of the novel is no longer in the form of text, but a picture with a stronger sense of substitution. Not only online writers, but many directors have also made movies in this way. Since Deep Blue 1 came out, people's entertainment methods have become more and more abundant.

The popularity of the virtual world remains high, which also puts a certain amount of pressure on Zhang Wei and the future technology company. This pressure finally turned into motivation. The perfect posture is presented in front of everyone, living up to everyone's expectations.

Time flies, and soon it will be March 2023.

During the past few months, Zhang Wei's life was very simple and ordinary. Apart from his busy work, he just spent time with his wife and son, and watched his son grow up day by day. The happiness in his heart is indescribable.

While Zhang Wei was living an ordinary life, many major events happened in the world.

The first big event: the low-end flying car of the future technology company will go on sale on November 12, 2022, triggering a new round of sales frenzy. The low-end flying car with the lowest price of only 400,000 RMB sold 32 million units in November, which is terrifying! In the eyes of the media, this is actually quite normal, because people all over the world have been waiting for low-end flying cars for 3 years, and have already prepared banknotes. If it is not for the company's insufficient inventory in the future, sales in November may exceed 50 million vehicles.

Along with low-end flying cars, special models such as flying trucks, flying police cars, and flying ambulances are also on the market, and sales are also extremely hot.

From this moment on, flying cars are truly popularized, and the world has entered the era of flying cars, and people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Taking express delivery as an example, 24-hour door-to-door delivery is already the minimum requirement. For example, SF Express can deliver goods nationwide within 6 hours. For this reason, SF Express purchased 30,000 flying vehicles at one time.

In addition, Tencent and Ali invested 140 billion in Didi Taxi, and purchased 350,000 low-end flying cars at one time, making Didi Taxi the largest taxi-hailing company in the country and the largest taxi-hailing company in the world. People can also enjoy a fast life. Users only need to make an appointment through Didi taxi software, and the flying car will automatically fly to the user's location and take the user to the destination.

Taxis have been fully upgraded to flying cars, and freight companies are also undergoing a comprehensive transformation. They purchase flying trucks and carry out flying freight services. They can deliver goods to your door within a few hours across the country. This country’s economy has brought great benefits.

The second major event: On December 29, 2022, South Korea's 300-ton "Na Lao 2" carrier rocket exploded more than 200 kilometers from the ground after it was launched.

Speaking of this incident, South Korea is full of snot and tears.

South Korea is a country that is actually quite sad. Before the Korean War, South Korea had never been independent in the true sense. It had always survived in the cracks between China, Japan, Russia and many other powerful countries, and was often reduced to a subsidiary. States, colonies, protectorates, were constantly overrun by foreign powers. After World War II, South Korea gained independence under the support of the United States and achieved great development. However, the history of being bullied and oppressed for a long time has left an indelible sense of inferiority in the hearts of Koreans. In order to eliminate this inferiority complex, they wantonly edited history to beautify themselves. They wantonly create myths such as: "a certain celebrity has Korean ancestry" and "the universe is made in Korea" to cover up his history of being bullied. It is precisely because of this that South Korea is nicknamed "the most powerful country in the universe" by many Chinese netizens.

A new round of space hegemony has already begun. China, the United States, and Russia have successively established large permanent bases on the moon. Japan, India, and European countries have also completed manned moon landings and planted national flags on the moon. A lot of sites.

South Korea has the heart of a big country, so it is naturally unwilling to lag behind. It has also increased its investment in space technology and wants to keep up with China, the United States and other countries.

However, although South Korea’s economy is not bad, the manufacturing industry can only be described as face-saving. Equipment is bought, technology is imported, and the history of making copycats is much longer than China’s. Light industry, electronics, medicine, and chemicals are copied. Basically, it’s doing well, and it’s remarkable, but when it comes to huge system engineering, basically you can only join in the fun. It’s just a patchwork of tanks. The Koreans have been working on it for more than ten years and they still can’t figure it out, let alone space technology. up.

Before the launch of "Luolao 2", even many Koreans were not optimistic about it, and Chinese netizens also complained, "Did the rocket be launched with the mouth?"

The result was tragic.

After the "Luo Lao 2" carrier rocket equipped with a lunar exploration robot was lifted off, it exploded more than 200 kilometers from the ground.

The explosion not only shattered the already fragile hearts of Koreans, but also caused a major disaster.

The explosion produced tens of thousands of fragments, which were erupted into a low-earth orbit of 200 to 500 kilometers in space. They moved unscrupulously in the low-earth orbit. Some fragments moved at a speed of seven or eight kilometers per second, and the slowest one was faster than a bullet. too much. Ninety-nine percent of the satellites and space bases on the earth are in low-Earth orbit, and then... many satellites failed, were hit by the debris from the explosion, and then failed.

Similar things have actually happened many times. In 1983, the "Challenger" space shuttle collided with a piece of paint fragments with a diameter of 0.2 mm, which caused damage to the porthole and had to return to Earth early. In 1986, the Ariane rocket exploded shortly after reaching orbit, leaving 564 pieces of wreckage 10 centimeters in size and 2,300 small pieces. These dense "projectiles" later directly caused the failure of two Japanese satellites.

However, there has never been an accident that made it so big. According to subsequent statistics, 435 satellites failed, and even the US International Space Station was killed.

Not long after the space accident, many countries, including South Korea and the United States, asked for help from China and future technology companies to rescue their satellites and scientists working in the space station. Without hesitation, Zhang Wei immediately let all the company's spacecraft They dispatched and rescued many scientists and satellites. Of course, there is a fee for saving people, but each satellite needs to charge a quarter of the satellite’s value. In the end, the revenue of the future technology company is as high as 13.7 billion.

A week after the accident, countries led by China, the United States, and Russia held an international conference on the topic of "cleaning up space junk and making South Korea compensate."

China, the United States, Russia and other countries have lost a large number of satellites, and even some countries with weak technology have all satellites killed. It can be said that South Korea has suddenly become the public enemy of the world!

In the face of angry countries, South Korea has to pay if it does not pay, because it has no confidence to refuse.

South Korea lost everything and was forced to disclose a lot of technology to these countries. Even so, it is still burdened with a large amount of foreign debt, and its life is quite miserable. It no longer has the confidence to call itself the number one power in the universe.

This incident has already triggered a chain reaction. Because South Korea lost its fortune, the life of Korean people suddenly became more and more embarrassing. After the technology was disclosed, the competitiveness of Korean companies suddenly dropped a lot, and the income of enterprises dropped. People's lives are even more embarrassing. For this reason, the Koreans were very angry and pushed the president down. However, this still cannot solve South Korea's problems. In the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for South Korea to stand up.

Under such circumstances, there is a voice in South Korea: "Merge into China."

With the help of people with good intentions, this kind of voice is getting louder and louder, and even appeared in mainstream newspapers. Many Koreans believe that South Korea has suffered heavy losses after this space accident, and it will take at least five years to recover. The development speed of the country is too fast, and it is in the most critical era of intense change. Five years later, even if South Korea recovers, the gap with other countries in the world will only become wider and wider. If the Korean nation does not want to be in the At the bottom of the earth's civilization, the only way to go is to merge into China. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that China will only get better and better, leaving other countries in the dust. Besides, South Korea used to have a very close relationship with China, and now it is merged into China, which is just a return to history.

What happened in South Korea had a major impact on the whole world.

Now, there are many similar voices all over the world. They are some citizens of small and poor countries, hoping to merge into big countries like China, the United States, and Russia. Because the world situation has changed, several big countries headed by China are stepping into China. In the space age, other countries do not have this capability at all. If this continues, those countries that do not have the ability to enter space will be left farther and farther behind by China and other major powers. Too backward, citizens of these small and poor countries are appealing to be merged into big countries such as China, the United States, Russia, etc. Some nationals of Thailand, Cambodia, Outer Mongolia and other countries want to be merged into China, and African people are strongly calling for the formation of the African Federation , Some people in Europe are calling for the formation of the European Federation, some countries in the former Soviet Union want to form the Soviet Union again, and people in the Arab countries are calling for the formation of the Arab Federation... Well, Baodao is also actively discussing whether to formally return to it!

However, these are just the voices of the people, and the governments of various countries have not taken corresponding actions. Of course, this is only the situation on the surface. Many countries have begun to contact in private, but these countries only want to form a loose federation. The countries in the federation still have autonomy, and each country wants to form a federation. Gaining more right to speak, so there is no agreement.

However, some experts said that under tremendous pressure, federalism is the general trend, because only by uniting, these backward countries can condense into a fist and barely hope to catch up with China. In a few years, there may be six to ten federations on the earth: the federation headed by China, the American federation headed by the United States, the federation headed by Russia, Europe is divided into two federations of Eastern Europe and Western Europe, the African federation, the Arab federation, The Federation of Great India, Japan... The best choice for Japan is to join China, but the relationship between the two countries is too complicated, and it is probably not enough.

The third major event: the spacecraft of the future technology company arrived at Europa and Titan, two planets where life may exist, and started exploration. The results of the exploration show that, like Mars, these two planets have low-level life such as microorganisms, and there is no high-level intelligent life like humans. However, the environment of these two planets is excellent and suitable for immigration, especially Titan, which has a thick atmosphere that can block cosmic rays, and is very suitable for transformation into a planet suitable for human habitation.

When the whole world knew the result, there was a sensation again. The diameter of Europa is 3100 kilometers, which is only a little smaller than the moon; the average radius of Titan is 2575 kilometers, which is only a little smaller than the moon. If it is possible to immigrate to these two planets, human beings will have a lot more living space!

However... Many countries also understand that they can only think about it, because they cannot afford to enjoy this feast.

At this time, under tremendous pressure, those in power in these countries began to seriously consider merging with other countries. .
