Volume 1: The Escape of the Holy Maiden Chapter Seventy-Eight News - Yesterday's Summary
After explaining all the information that Chu Yuesheng needed to know, Ban Cuntou raised his wrist to look at the time, and said goodbye to Chu Yuesheng.
When he turned his wrist to look at the watch, Chu Yuesheng noticed that this guy's wrist turned out to be a real watch, not a personal terminal that everyone in human society wears.
To be honest, at a time when the chronograph function of a clock has been completely replaced by a personal terminal, it is quite difficult to find a clock that is still powered by springs and uses a turntable to move words. Chu Yuesheng hadn't even heard of a watch factory anywhere, and now if he wanted to see a clock with the hands still rotating normally, he might have to go to those historical museums that housed artifacts from the era of the home planet.
As a result, he saw the real guy on the wrist of the board inch, which made Chu Yuesheng feel very surprised.
It's an antique, isn't it? It's a few hundred years ago, right? Just such a watch could be exchanged for a luxury car or a house in the suburbs. I can't see that this gentleman who has straight hair and piercing hands and meticulous clothes is still an invisible rich man.
However, Chu Yuesheng didn't need to envy others, the suite behind him was much more valuable than the watch on the wrist of the board head. That table top sky is millions of credits, and Chu Yuesheng's house, even if you don't count the buildings above, just counting the money of the land, Chu Yuesheng will ask for 100 million, and someone will rush to ask for it.
It is too close to the headquarters of the Coalition Government, and there are countless institutions within or from other civilizations that are eager to set up a ministry here. With supply far less than demand, prices will naturally soar to an incredible level. In the wind, even pigs can take off, and housing prices and land prices are actually the same. The only difference is that the wind tends to only blow for a while, while real estate is pledged with the credit of the entire human civilization. As long as human beings do not collapse and Mars is still the capital of human civilization, then Chu Yuesheng's house will not depreciate much.
Seeing off the unwelcome guest of Ban Cuntou, Chu Yuesheng thought about the information that Ban Cuntou had just told him, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Trouble, it's really eventful.
Chu Yuesheng also discovered that Ban Cuntou, or the coalition governments behind Ban Cuntou, seemed to really look up to himself. At least Ban Cuntou really believed that Chu Yuesheng could find the missing Star Curtain Holy Maiden, and he didn't know who gave him this confidence, did Chu Yuesheng have a beautiful commission completion rate before? Looking for a cat and a dog, and looking for a big living person who can't even be detected by surveillance, can this be the same.
After sighing, Chu Yuesheng suddenly realized that his stomach was still deflated. As soon as he ate a fritter for breakfast, he was shouted out by Ban Cuntou, and now in a blink of an eye, it is almost the time for the official opening of the Wanshiwu, and he is still relying on the fritter he ate before.
After so long, the rice should be cold...... Even if it can be reheated, the food that has been reheated a second time will definitely not taste as good as the food that has just come out of the pot. It's a pity that Ah Tie has a lot of thoughts, obviously bothered to make such a hearty breakfast for him, the master, but Chu Yuesheng didn't have the blessing to enjoy it, and sure enough, he blamed that board inch, why did he have to come over so early, he was sick.
When Chu Yuesheng walked through the entrance and returned to the living room, he saw that Gong Zimeng had already sat on the sofa in the living room at a fixed time, turned on the holographic projection in the living room, and was watching today's morning news.
Chu Yuesheng was just passing by, but just a few steps from the living room to the dining room, he was attracted by the news that was being broadcast.
Generally speaking, the morning news broadcasts are based on what happened yesterday. After all, the day has just begun, and it takes time for the news to happen, so the evening news is the summary of the whole day. And the morning news is basically a rereading of the previous day. But this is not necessarily the case, for example, some major events that happened in the early morning of the same day, reporters rushed to the scene early, and at this time, the morning news will also rarely appear live festivals.
Just like now, what Chu Yuesheng caught up with was a live broadcast.
The background of the live broadcast is a huge pit, and just the part shown on the screen, it is conservatively estimated that the diameter of this pit must be 500 meters. Wearing a formal dress and skirt, the dignified and generous Mars News Channel queen location host Taki Qianjing stood tall and stood in front of the camera, broadcasting the latest news she learned to the audience in front of the screen with a serious face.
"It is understood that the original site of the explosion is a car assembly plant that has been abandoned for more than 20 years. In the tide of industrial relocation of non-capital functions out of the central city at that time, this factory was the same as the countless factories gathered around the central city at that time, and it was an object that needed to be transferred. After the removal of the workers, the factory became deserted and no longer tended. ”
"The cause of the explosion is still being verified, and we can see from the camera that many workers wearing protective clothing are sampling and analyzing the soil under the pit. So far, there has been no intelligence suggesting that the explosion had anything to do with Canterlot's blackout in the South East Zone 6 last night. ”
"We would like to advise you not to believe any information circulating in the market until the government gives a concrete explanation. Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, a harmonious society, start from you and me, start from bit by bit. ”
After all, it was a live broadcast, there was no speech prepared in advance, or there was not much content to report, this live broadcast with the appearance of the Mars News Channel pillar Taki Qianjing ended quickly, the camera turned back to the studio, and the two hosts who looked familiar but Chu Yuesheng couldn't remember their names began to talk about other things that happened yesterday.
It has nothing to do with Chu Yuesheng, but the big events and interesting things that happened on other human colonized planets.
Although it was a bit unexpected that the place was blown into a pit, Chu Yuesheng knew that the big pit that Long Qianjing could only report on now was the same wheel auto parts factory that Chu Yuesheng and they visited last night.
I remember that when they left, the giant robot was still constantly charging. Gong Zimeng thought that the big robot had turned into a bomb that could explode at any time, so he took Chu Yuesheng to leave that place ahead of schedule.
Now it seems that Miyako Yume's choice is undoubtedly the right one. What kind of bomb is that, depending on the size of that crater, ordinary tactical nuclear bombs can't do that to that extent, right?
Chu Yuesheng stood in place again and stopped for a while, and then heard other things that interested him.
A human-factor accident occurred at Canterlot No. 3 power station last night, when an operator entered the wrong command, causing the control rods to be completely pulled out and the reactor's power to an uncontrollable level. Fortunately, the wise and decisive chief engineer made a quick decision and quickly dealt with the dangerous situation. Although the instantaneous increase in power still caused a heavy burden on the power grid, fortunately, the third power station was saved.
The cost is that the power grids of the six major regions southeast of the central city, which are mainly supplied by the third power station, are seriously overloaded, and many of the older transformers are burned down, and nothing more.
Places such as hospitals and district government buildings have their own standby power supplies, which can be turned on immediately after the external power supply is lost to power the electrical appliances, so there is no need to worry about the power outage in these places. As for other places, power outages will be power outages, and anyway, the hovering car maintenance order test is not a traffic light. As long as the signal can still be received, the hovering car will not be chaotic due to power outages.
If the car does not have an accident, the probability of a person having an accident is even smaller. Personal terminals can also be used as flashlights when necessary, and when each person has a flashlight, the annoyance caused by darkness will be greatly reduced. Add to that the fact that many families have bought their own spare miniature nuclear reactors in case they need them, and while the last power outage is said to have been decades ago, it's always good to be prepared. At this time, these devices, which had already fallen a thick layer of dust on their shells, finally came into use again.
Micro-nuclear reactors are a technology that has matured for more than 100 years, and it is almost the same generation as the stable and controllable heavy nuclear fusion reactor. If a heavy nuclear fusion reactor is a super power source that can provide stable power for cities, space stations and even artificial planets, then a miniature nuclear reactor is a super-large capacity battery specially designed to deal with various emergencies. The emergence of these two things has completely solved the worries of human beings on the energy issue, and once again accelerated the pace of human exploration of the sky.
At the heart of the miniature nuclear power is a sphere of super-heavy metal elements the size of an apple, so it is also called an apple reactor. As long as the neutron gun next to the sphere is activated, the superheavy metal will produce a fission reaction inside, accompanied by a large amount of heat. This heat is absorbed by the inner chamber of the miniature nuclear reactor and, through some magical transformation, into a steady and continuous current. As long as the wires of such a miniature nuclear reactor are connected to the grid, it can be transmitted to the grid in reverse, providing electricity for all the consumers in the entire electricity network.
One of these miniature nuclear reactors alone is enough to supply all users in a building, or drive a large mech to jump for two hours of aerogymnastics. It is thanks to the maturity of miniature nuclear reactor technology that human research on mecha technology has finally made a substantial breakthrough.
It's not very useful, though.
