Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 421
2042 7 Month 1 Day.

Zhong Cheng and his team are doing various measurements at the Lagrangian point L1 between the sun and Venus.

He also discussed the construction plan of the super hadron collider with Yang Xi and others. In fact, implementing the Fuxi project in a near-vacuum environment is not difficult in technology and engineering.

Since it is very close to the sun, the problem of energy supply can be easily solved by installing solar panels on the acceleration channel.

The difficulty of the Fuxi project is still that the project is too large, and the 5 million-kilometer-long acceleration channel makes people despair.

In order to manufacture the materials for this collider, the relevant manufacturing plants of Red Star Company need to continue to produce for more than 5 years, and the cost is estimated to exceed 200 trillion.

The Fuxi project will be the largest project planned and implemented in his lifetime, and there will be no bigger project in the future.

When Zhong Cheng was repeatedly calculating the project cost, his secretary-general Deng Jinhai came to the command center and asked him to watch a live news broadcast on the news channel.

Zhong Cheng realized that something big was going to happen. Deng Jinhai had followed him for many years, and Shi Hanxing and Shi Hanxing were on the inside and outside, knowing that he hated being disturbed when planning a project.

He asked Deng Jinhai to call out the live broadcast and found that it was real-time news from Titan.

The long-distance communication technology was developed by Solar System Dynamics a year ago and promoted and used on Jupiter and Saturn.

At the time, Zhong Cheng thought they had made it themselves, and at most he just referred to the technology of Red Star Company.

But after Lei Yongzhong was arrested and imprisoned, he confessed that he had disclosed the long-distance communication technology to the Mutual Aid Association.

This made Zhong Cheng very annoyed, the traitor was really hateful, and this made the Asian Federation lose a powerful means to restrict the Jupiter-Saturn colony.

However, the establishment of the Human Federation also relieved him.

But now the live content on the news channel made his heart hang again.

The one who spoke publicly in the live broadcast was the former governor of the Jupiter administrative region of the American Federation and the current governor of the Jupiter region of the Human Federation of the Solar System, Brinton.

Brinton is talking about the discriminatory policies of the Earth government against Westerners, saying that the government does not pay enough attention to the development of the Jupiter-Saturn region, and uses the wealth created by the Jupiter-Saturn colonists to support the Asians on Earth in a blood-sucking way.

He even publicly encouraged the colonists of Jupiter and Saturn to hold a referendum on whether to remain in the Human Federation of the Solar System.

Zhong Cheng and the others were furious. This was a blatant desire to split. Human society has just achieved unity after tens of thousands of years of suffering, and some people jumped out to make troubles. It is really insane!
However, the earth government is indeed wary of the Jupiter-Saturn colony, and has tilted its policies to avoid a situation where the outside is heavy and the inside is light, so as to ensure the core position of the earth.

These things are only known to the top federal officials, and they are tacitly understood by everyone, but Brinton, who is a senior federal official, said it openly.

What kind of bad influence will this cause among the people in the Jupiter-Saturn region?
How much damage would it do to human society if a civil war were triggered by Jupiter and Saturn's secession from the Federation?
Brinton, a shameless politician, is really not enough to cover his innocence!
Lin Hansheng asked Brinton what his background was, and why he dared to do such a stupid thing that would risk the disgrace of the world?

Deng Jinhai seemed to have done his homework. He replied that Brinton was only a local member of the former American Federation, and he did not have a prominent background.

Because of advocating the unity of human society, he won the support of the people and thus made great progress.

Six years ago, he was elected as the governor of the Moon administrative region of the American Federation, and was promoted to the governor of the Jupiter administrative region three years ago.

Brinton's political orientation meets the requirements of the Federation, and he does not have a background in mutual aid associations, so he was appointed as the governor of the Jupiter region by the Solar System Human Federation a month ago.

But after all the calculations, it didn't take into account that this guy was just a political opportunist, and he had no political stance at all.

But what is this guy trying to do, want to be the earth emperor of Jupiter and Saturn?

Did he really think that the Solar System Federation would let him go?
Behind this, Zhong Cheng smelled a conspiracy and saw Robin's shadow.

"What happened to the federation sending people to receive Solar System Power Company and Star Network Company?"

Deng Jinhai thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "These two companies are too big, and the acceptance work has just begun. It is said that the other party is still very cooperative."

"Very cooperative?"

Zhong Cheng was also a little uncertain. Although he felt uneasy, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

We can only continue to watch the development of the situation.

After Brinton's speech, there was an uproar in the entire solar system.

On social media, countless people accused him of inappropriate remarks and asked the earth government to remove him.

But what is weird is that an hour later, the press secretary of the governor of the Saturn region delivered a speech. He said a lot of nonsense, but he clearly expressed his support for Brinton.

Afterwards, some companies and social groups in the Jupiter-Saturn region also spoke one after another, hoping that the Human Federation can review the policies of these two regions and give them greater autonomy.

This time, the human society was immediately blown up, and more people began to pay attention to this incident, and some people began to support Brinton's speech.

The social media is in a mess, fighting with each other, and it's very lively!

However, the high level of the federal government has been silent for a long time, making this incident confusing.

Zhong Cheng asked everyone to pay attention to the area where the person who made the comment was located, but it was strange to find that the people in the Jupiter-Saturn region who were the parties involved had very few comments, which was far smaller than their population proportion in human society.

Due to the encouraging policies of the European and American Federations for immigration to Jupiter and Saturn in recent years, these two regions already have a population of nearly [-] million people, and they are mainly concentrated in Ganymede.

This abnormal situation made Zhong Cheng unable to sit still anymore, something must have happened in the distant Jupiter.

Just when he wanted to contact Lu Yao, Lu Yao called first.

"Zhong Cheng, where are you now?"

Zhong Cheng thought for a while and replied, "I'm near Mercury!"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, probably Lu Yao was thinking about where Mercury was, "Why did you go so far away for nothing, now something big happened, it's more serious than you imagined, come back quickly!"

Zhong Cheng didn't bother to explain, and asked directly: "How serious is it? Could it be that they want to fight?"

"This?!"

Lu Yao was at a loss for words for a while, "Forget it, I won't be able to explain clearly for a while, the situation is very unclear, and the people at the top of the Federation are not stable, so you can talk about it in person when you come back!"

"Wait a minute, why don't you respond to Brinton's speech, if this drags on, people's hearts will be confused!"

Lu Yao sighed, "You will see it soon."

Sure enough, half an hour later, the spokesperson of the Human Federation gave a televised speech, hoping that the Jupiter-Saturn Federation officials could calm down and put the overall situation first. If there are any requests, they can resolve them through dialogue with the Earth side.

Zhong Cheng and others were puzzled, and the reaction of the Human Federation was too weak. Isn't this fueling the arrogance of Brinton and his gang?

As expected, Brinton then spoke publicly again, formally proposing the Jupiter-Saturn Region's request for autonomy, and put forward a lot of conditions.

This added fuel to the flames of the already raging crowds, and Jupiter-Saturn autonomy became the hottest topic on social media.

Zhong Cheng no longer had the intention to carry out the investigation of the Fuxi Project. He ordered the captain of the Star Reacher to return to Earth immediately, and handed over the unfinished work to Liu Yuzhu.

All this kind of noise has already indicated that the storm is coming!
