Simulation: Great Power Technology

A week later, in a luxury apartment in New York.

Bruce's eyes were bloodshot, he raised his head from the table, and looked at Sid, who was sitting opposite the same tired face.

"There can be no mistake.... Judging from the information we have, the other party is definitely serious."

"The 'doomsday' they say is not a joke - we can't deduce the truth of the apocalypse itself for the time being, but one thing is certain: the Chinese people take it seriously."

"Sid, you say, what should we do?"

Sid nodded heavily, then shook his head again, and after thinking for a long time, he said:

"Congress should have received the news and even had preliminary conclusions, but our judgment still has to be passed on to Congress, and if they finally make a decision that is not acceptable, then we have to find a way to change that decision."

"All we've done is reasoning, and there's really no strong evidence for the apocalypse proposition itself—unless they reproduce a quantum disturbance in front of everyone."

"But I doubt that these Huaxia people will do this----you see what is written in the report, every observation will lead to a quantum collapse, their opportunities are obviously limited, and they will never be wasted on this kind of damage to them. about meaningless things."

"Also, they already said at the meeting that they don't need allies!"

"This is very bad for us.... We are not allies, how can the gents in Congress believe them?"

"Bruce, I think, this should be your problem. I'm just a physicist, and I'm really not good at games like this."

Bruce nodded slightly and replied:

"I know, I know....Yes, we have to convince them, but before that, we have to figure out what Congress has to say about this."

As he spoke, he directly picked up his mobile phone, found the name of a high-ranking congressional official in the address book, and dialed it directly.

At this moment, Sid finally saw the contacts of his old friend. In just two hours, the two had collected more than 20 opinions. The facts that shocked them were presented in front of them.

As Bruce had envisioned, Congress determined the veracity of the "doomsday" through the most rational judgment.

However, they did not intend to cooperate with Huaxia, but instead planned to launch a comprehensive offensive to regain the Ugly Kingdom's global dominance when Huaxia poured a lot of resources into two giant projects designed for the end of the world!

Such a strategy would be foolish, both from Bruce's perspective as a sociologist, businessman, and financial practitioner, and from Sid's perspective as a pure theoretician.

"These idiots! What time is it, still thinking about hegemony!"

"Does it make sense to fight for hegemony?! Since the doomsday is just around the corner, do you want to fight for the first place, do you want to die more decently than your opponent?!"

Bruce scolded and circled in the study, his already gray hair was smashed into a ball, and the image at this time was like an Impressionist painter who had fallen into madness.

"This is our Congress... What can we do, we elected it ourselves."

"I didn't vote for this idiot on stage! Sid, we have to stop them, we have to find a way to get China's support - no, the important thing is not their support, but 'no confrontation'!"

Having said this, Bruce suddenly paused for a second, and then asked:

"Sid, can I trust you?"

"You can totally trust me. You know my..."

"No, Sid, that's not what I'm talking about."

Bruce's expression was extremely serious. He grabbed Sid's shoulder and squeezed it tightly, exposing the blue veins on his entire arm.

"What I'm saying is, can I trust you in this matter?"

"Can you stick to our principles, can you put our survival first?"

Sid was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously:

"Of course, survival comes first -- even those in Congress, they're for better survival, aren't they?"

"No, no, you still don't understand!"

Bruce threw his hand away slightly manicly, walked around the sofa twice, and then continued:

"It's not about survival, it's about us! Us!"

"I'm not talking about the 'us' of you and me, and other ordinary people living in this era, I'm talking about the 'us' from now to infinite future!"

"You still don't understand what the lords in Congress think? They don't believe in heaven! They don't care about the lives of their descendants! They're just for themselves!"

"Yes, yes....that's what motivates them, their average age is 40....and they will continue to drink, continue to enjoy, Continue to indulge in women... so, they must only focus on the interests of their own generation!"

"Sid, I want you to promise that you will never only focus on your own interests! You have no descendants, and you have no concerns... No, just guaranteeing is useless, you must give me a convincing enough to convince me. reason."

Hearing this, Sid's brows furrowed tightly, and he vaguely sensed that Bruce seemed to be doing something big, which should be enough to change or destroy the strategy of Congress, but he had no idea what it was.

Could it be that he intends to make this "doomsday" information public?

But that's not enough to change the strategy at the top.

----At most, it will only cause some trouble for them. The reason why Huaxia is unwilling to disclose it at this time is just because they want to make the launch of the two projects smoother. As time goes by, their people will naturally know this information.

But, beyond that, how else could Bruce influence decisions at the top?

No matter how well-connected and energetic he is, in the face of such a major strategy, his voice is actually extremely limited - or, in other words, he has almost only the right to advise.

In this case, the power of the individual is almost negligible.

Sid is still hesitating, and Bruce on the side has already opened his mouth again impatiently:

"Tell me the answer! Our time is limited!"

Sid breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Bruce, there's no way I can give you that assurance, I can only tell you that I'm a sane person.... If you don't believe me, you can exclude me from your plans now !"

Bruce looked into Sid's eyes, and after a long time, he nodded sullenly.

"Yes, you can't give me such a guarantee, and also, I shouldn't have pulled you into the water."

"That's it, I'll try to convince Congress."

"I'm going to find a way to make them realize that cooperation is the only way out..."

"But why do you believe this so much? How do you know that Huaxia's strategy is right?"

Sid interrupts Bruce talking to himself.

In fact, in his opinion, although the strategy of Congress is indeed very stupid, is Huaxia's strategy necessarily correct?

Is it enough to change the final outcome by overdrafting all the resources and manpower to build and develop land like they did?

He had a hard time believing that.

Then, Bruce gave him a completely different answer.

"Sid, you are mistaken, I don't know whether Huaxia's strategy is correct or not - maybe their strategy is also stupid."

"But I know that it is absolutely right to choose the maximum cooperation from now on!"

"I don't care at all what method is ultimately used to combat the so-called adjacent-dimensional invasion -- that's what you physicists need to do."

"I am a sociologist, what I want to do is to eliminate unnecessary confrontation, what I want to do is to unite the entire human world!"

"Not just our country, there are many more countries..."

"What are you going to do?"

Sid shuddered involuntarily, and he finally realized the danger of Bruce's decision in such a short time.

"You don't have to worry about what I do... In short, this will definitely be a betrayal."

"Betrayal? For Huaxia? Is it worth it?"

Bruce shook his head and replied:

"No, I'm not for Huaxia, I don't care about their lives."

"I'm for ourselves - so that we can live the right way."

"Maybe it's going to be a big purge....but it must be worth it."

Having said that, Bruce turned and left the apartment. At the last moment of closing the door, he turned back to Sid and said:

"Sid, my friend, must remember one thing."

"Motivation! There is a motivation for the development of everything! Finding this motivation and finding a way to eliminate it or replace it is the key to solving the problem!"

Sid nodded heavily, and then his sight was cut off by the slowly closing elevator door.

This day was the last time the two met in the long years that followed.

They took completely different paths for the same goal.

......

Two days later, a mysterious person anonymously disclosed the news about the "adjacent dimension invasion" and "the coming of the end" to the media.

The beacon plan and the Tongtianhe plan were also announced by Huaxia in response to this crisis.

While everyone was scrutinizing the two plans with mixed emotions, an even more explosive piece of news was revealed:

The Ugly Kingdom will take advantage of the opportunity that China will use all its resources to deal with the crisis, and will launch an all-out attack on all areas of China, so as to try to regain the dominance of the world.

This project was ironically named the "Last Wish" project by the mysterious person, and as the leader of the project, the Healy organization, their member list, strategy and a large number of technical documents were all made public.

From this starting point, a large-scale declassification movement that has spread all over the world began to ferment.
