I am a great scientist

Chapter 433 City of the Future ([-])

After asking Zhou Dan about Zhou Yu's current situation, Zhou Xing withdrew from the game somewhat dispirited.

Entering "Civilization and War", Zhou Xing originally had the idea of ​​destroying Zhou Yu's dream of being a "warship commander", but after learning about Zhou Yu's achievements in this field, this idea faded away.

Zhou Xing took off the virtual helmet and sat on the sofa blankly, feeling very heavy.

If Zhou Yu becomes an outstanding interstellar commander in the future, there will definitely be very few opportunities to meet him in the future, but this is not important compared to Zhou Yu realizing his personal dream. , It is inevitable to spread his wings and fly high. What reason does he have to trap it by his side?
Zhou Xing sat there in a daze with a lonely face, Zhou Xiaozhi stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Boss, do you have a problem? Do you need my help?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing raised his head and forced a smile and said, "Xiaozhi, I'm fine."

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiaozhi was skeptical. After being in contact with Zhou Xing for so long, he had learned to 'read words and demeanor'. 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 a commander, he will leave me soon." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with a wry smile and explained.

"Huh? Why don't Xiaoyu become the commander?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and suggested.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch Zhou Xiaozhi's little head: "No, this kind of thinking is too selfish. Xiaoyu has the life he wants to live, and I can't stop him."

"Oh! Then what to do! Xiaozhi doesn't want to see the boss unhappy." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded understandingly.

"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, it's more difficult to test for expert-level qualifications. Now there are 696 million. After ten days, it is estimated that there should be 700 million." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.

"Well, it's a little less. What about related technology inventions? New technologies that can be used in space docks, spaceships, bases, materials,..., etc." Zhou Xing nodded understandingly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and continued to ask.

"Boss, a total of 1.245 million technical patents have been obtained, 286 million patents in the aerospace field, 15 A-level patents, 57 B-level patents, ...; 912 million patents in the industrial manufacturing field, 47 A-level patents , 179 million B-level patents, C-level patents..." Zhou Xiaozhi replied in detail.

Zhou Xing nodded, very pleased. 'Civilization and War' uses a simulation system that simulates the real environment, and a large part of the technology developed in it can be transformed into real experimental technology, which is equivalent to, through the 'Civilization and War' star The group learned about the future direction of the development 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 application notices to all experts with advanced skills, arrange suitable positions and salaries, optimize project portfolio, and promote these patents Technology." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered.

"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi gladly complied, and immediately, the computing power of [-] trillion operations per second started to run at full capacity.

After a few minutes, Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly reminded Zhou Xingdao: "Boss, Star Token exchange strategy, global talent recruitment, these two actions will have an 87% interest rate that will cause negative effects on global government agencies."

Hearing this, Zhou Xing was silent for a while. With the development of Shining Star Group, human civilization is about to fully enter the interstellar era. The "institution" of the country is increasingly weak in promoting civilization, and has instead become a burden that hinders the development of human civilization.

"Nation" In a broad sense, a country refers to a social group that shares a common language, culture, race, blood, territory, government or history.From a narrow perspective, a country is a form of community formed by a certain range of people.

In the past, the organization of the country could fight for the interests of the people, resist foreign enemies, join forces for development, ..., etc., all kinds of interests.

However, with the advent of the interstellar era, all mankind has more than 200 countries. Such an organizational structure has seriously hindered the development of mankind.

Zhou Xing pondered for a while, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and said: "Send a notice, tomorrow will be a global live video broadcast, I want to announce two things."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in response.

Soon, many Civilization and War players received a surprise news at the same time.

Olis, Tarsen Base, Career Advancement Evaluation Center, the scene fell into a sea of ​​joy.

"I received an entry notice from Shining Star Group, with an annual salary of one million! Haha!"

"Xingyao Group is going to buy my patent for the automatic arm adjustment lever, haha, I'm going to get rich!"

"Me too, me too, Shining Star Group has taken a fancy to my ball-changing gear patent, haha, I'm going to make a fortune too!"

"What's going on? Why haven't I received any information? What level are your skills?"

"I'm a senior!"

"..."

In the noisy career center, some players were excited and some were jealous. They looked at their information board and were happy.

The official emails from the Shining Star Group have caused countless players to fall into ecstasy. The Shining Star Group is well known all over the world and possesses the most advanced technology in all mankind. To get a letter of employment from this company is quite a "certificate of competence" , very rare.

Reduce the 'star currency' rake, expand the scope of transactions, recruit technical experts in the game, purchase patents, etc., all kinds of things, the layout of Shining Star Group in 'civilization and war' suddenly aroused the fear of governments of all countries.

Life-prolonging gene technology, controllable nuclear fusion, virtual network, 'Xingyao', intelligent robots, ..., all kinds of things, the Xingyao Group has financial resources that are incomparable to all countries in the world, and political influence that cannot be compared with a big country force.

The Shining Star Group's actions in civilization and war have touched the nerves of the global politicians at once. The virtual currency "Star Coin" has the ability to replace the "Huayuan" as the human credit currency. The global recruitment of highly skilled people, in reality, they have no One is not a high-level talent, resulting in a huge talent drainage effect.

Today, Shining Star Group wants money, people, and status, which seriously threatens the governments of various countries. All of a sudden, governments of various countries held emergency meetings to find solutions.

In the political center, a meeting was going on in a closed meeting room.

"Lawless, what exactly does he want to do, why didn't he inform us in advance of this decision?" Liu Zengguo asked, staring at Xu Lao in the chair.

"Yes! Old Xu, you have the deepest friendship with him. How could such a thing happen? Hua Yuan is now in a critical period..." Yang Jie, who was in charge of the financial system on the right side of the chairman's seat, followed up.

Elder Xu looked bitter, looked at the crowd and sighed helplessly: "The wings of Shining Star Group are stiff, and now they want to fly, can we stop it?"

Hearing this, everyone was speechless. With the large-scale deployment of the "Star Shining" industrial chain, the current Star Shining Group is a colossus, with huge influence on the governments of various countries. The virtual game "Civilization" And war' is the second world that all human beings cannot live without, and its influence is everywhere.

To impose sanctions on such a company, there is nowhere to start by catching hedgehogs. Once there is a rebound, the consequences will be immeasurable.

"How to solve this problem now? The weight of star currency exceeds that of Huayuan, and the strategy implemented by Shining Star Group has seriously threatened the national currency strategy." Yang Jie looked at everyone and asked.

Many faces peeped at each other, fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Looking at the crowd, Elder Wen broke the silence and said, "The Shining Star Group is aggressively recruiting talents from all over the world, and I want to know what he wants to do next."

"That's right, with Zhou Xing's arrangement, he will definitely have a follow-up move."

"Old Xu, is there a way to know?"

"..."

All eyes were on Mr. Xu's face, and they asked nervously.

Shining Star Group issued recruitment orders to all technical experts in the world. What will he do next?Will it have a greater impact?This question has become a lingering shadow in everyone's mind.

Mr. Xu nodded, and watched everyone turn back to the topic: "Understood, I will come to the door in person tomorrow, and now let's think about how to solve the threat of 'star coins' to the Huayuan pattern!"

Hearing this, the venue was silent, and everyone was speechless.

It is impossible to implement coercive measures against Shining Star Group. Zhou Xing's layout in "Civilization and War" is completely a conspiracy, aboveboard, and there is no effective countermeasure.

There was a long silence, and no one spoke.

"To get rid of Zhou Xing's layout on 'Star Coins', it is a good choice to forcefully limit the exchange scale of virtual currency."

"Yes, we can unite with the governments of various countries to limit the exchange scale of Star Tokens."

"No, this kind of violent policy is likely to cause a backlash from the Shining Star Group. With Zhou Xing's prestige among the people around the world, it is difficult to check and balance him."

"If you don't do this, it's hard to understand that the virtual currency of the Star Group will replace the currency of the country?"

"This,……."

"..."

The meeting fell into a short period of time. Immediately, everyone said something, and I said something, constantly supplementing and improving the handling opinions.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Liu Zengguo's face darkened, and he shouted loudly.

If there were no important matters, the subordinates would never interrupt their meeting hastily. Everyone looked towards the door with a complete expression.

With a "click", a staff member hurried into the meeting room with a panicked expression.

"Boss, I received the news that at 10:30, Zhou Xing, chairman of Shining Star Group, is going to make an announcement to the global live broadcast." The staff hurriedly stepped into the meeting room to report.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

"I knew that kid must have another trick. This is going to be bad, and there might be no room for recovery." Wen Lao said with a grim expression.

Mr. Xu looked at the staff and said: "Global live broadcast, quick, turn on the holographic screen."

The staff acted according to the order, and soon, a holographic projection rose in the center of the conference table.

I saw that Zhou Xing was sitting behind a spacious mahogany desk, and the live video had just started.

On the holographic screen, Zhou Xing was in a suit and leather shoes, with a serious expression on his face, looking very formal.

"Hi everyone, I'm very happy to meet you in this way today." Zhou Xing greeted everyone in the opening speech, facing the camera.

Zhou Xing's global live video broadcast was too sudden. Is there something big going to happen?
All of a sudden, 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 to speak: "Star Shining Group has been established for more than 20 years, and the human world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Mars base is under construction, and the Star Shining project is still going on. War gave us a second world, life-extending biotechnology gave us a long lifespan,  …”

Zhou Xing introduced many changes in human society. He straightened his face and continued to introduce: "Now we are still facing several serious problems, such as 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 startled and excited for no reason, because they knew that Zhou Xing had something big to announce next.

A lesson from the past, every time Zhou Xing shows up, a product that changes the world comes out. What technology products come out 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, the problem of expanding population development must be solved. Since the Mars base cannot 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 stared at the holographic screen, their minds were shocked.

"Using controllable nuclear fusion technology, intelligent control technology, biological and biochemical technology, ..., the future sky city will be a city free of pollution, consumption, and free to fly." Zhou Xing looked at the camera, solemnly narrated.

Like a clap of thunder on the ground, countless people were instantly stunned.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xing waved his hand, and a three-dimensional hologram appeared in front of him, introducing: "Sky City is based on controllable energy stations, uses particle engines to build floating boards, and uses circular ecological planting technology to create food The supply system, the use of new nano-alloy materials, intelligent pressure control technology, ..., etc., to build a floating city."

Zhou Xing paused for a moment, and continued to explain: "Sky City will be a bigger project than Xingyao, which requires the unity of all mankind. The construction period of Sky City is expected to be 2 years. After completion, it will be able to provide millions of dollars. At the same time, the city of the sky will be a city that can increase in size infinitely, carrying a population that 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.
