Chapter 704: Lop Nur

In view of this joint exercise in the South China Sea by a number of Western countries, China naturally attaches great importance to it.

As a matter of fact, as early as half a month ago, these Western countries, led by sister countries, informed the Chinese officials of the exercise as early as possible.

He also went to great lengths to claim that this was a routine exercise and would not target any other country......

But frankly speaking, this approach is understandable, and before that, Huaxia often used this kind of rhetoric to prevaricate other countries.

In order to be able to take adequate countermeasures in some special cases where the probability is extremely small.

Naturally, the Chinese side also sent a few warships and patrol boats to roam around the area around the exercise area, always paying close attention to the movements of this group of people.

Secretly, a large number of combat units in the vicinity of the military region are already on standby, and a large number of radars have been quietly covered.

At the same time, in the surrounding areas of the South China Sea, this seemingly turbulent exhibition match is going on.

A group of relatives in the village and Zhao Hao were flipping over the table, drinking wine while discussing these political and military topics with some parts.

A seemingly inadvertent announcement also caused a very violent response in China.

That is, in a CCTV news column at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a well-known news host declared when introducing today's important news.

Battery cells, network sameness, change, linkage, these four giant national enterprises that control the operation of the Internet industry in China have jointly issued a notice of substantial price reduction of network fees.

Starting from the first day after the Shangyuan Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, all users under these four companies only need to pay 50 yuan per month for Internet access or mobile phone bills, and they can enjoy the service with a download speed of more than 200 megabits per second!

This is definitely enough news to make the majority of netizens happy, and the reduction of network fees also represents the arrival of a new era to a certain extent.

Moreover, this is not a situation without warning, which is related to the many major events that happened in the country last year.

A discerning person can guess at a glance that this is the country is preparing for the arrival of virtual technology and the virtual world.

In the face of this performative deterrence action by Western countries, the news announced by Huaxia at this time is actually more substantial.

Because almost everyone can imagine that the reason why this group of Western countries, led by sister countries, is now holding this joint combat exercise in the South China Sea region.

Its purpose, in addition to adding blockage to China and showing a gesture to the world, is ultimately to strive for more preferential conditions in the cooperation of virtual technology!

Or, it would be more appropriate to simply call it most-favored-nation status.

As for the provocation of Western countries, although Huaxia did not make any hard-hitting response this time, the announcement of the price reduction of network fees is undoubtedly more deadly.

It's all in plain sight~

Originally, when Zhao Hao saw the fleet rampant in the South China Sea on TV, he was secretly still thinking about whether to make a quiet move and simply sink the fleet.

Now, it seems, there is no need for this at all.

It has been learned that the joint combat exercise will last for a week.

However, for the vast majority of Chinese people at this time, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the first day of the exercise, this action by Western countries really scratched people's hearts a little.

In the days since, not many people have paid attention to the exercise anymore.

Because, just a few hours after CCTV's four major operators announced the price cut, another exciting news detonated the entire Internet public opinion almost instantly.

That is, on the portals of many Internet giants such as Penguin Ali, a bombshell news was published almost at the same time.

That is, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many partners of Huaxia Virtual Technology Group will hold an exhibition of the phased achievements of the virtual world together with Zhao.

At the same time, the message also lists several things that will meet with the media and the public at this exhibition.

Among them, it naturally includes what Zhao Hao said to many bigwigs before, inviting many Internet celebrities and celebrity anchors to come to participate in the activities to help.

At that time, these people will collectively log in to the virtual world and show people how powerful it is with their own personal experiences.

In addition, it is said that the national side will also send important people to participate in this exhibition, and a series of important laws and regulations related to the virtual world will be announced for the super platform and the virtual technology itself.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately set off an uproar on the Internet, and in a very short period of time, it caused heated discussions among many netizens.

A few hours later, in the CCTV news column that was launched on time at 7 o'clock in the afternoon every day, the host actually reported the news in detail at the beginning of the program.

It can be regarded as a step further, confirming the authenticity of the news for many Chinese people.

At the same time, through the official traditional media channels this time, it is also directly burned into reality this Internet public opinion explosion.

When this news spread to foreign countries with the enthusiasm of most Chinese people.

Those who were still in a hurry accompanied by their own warships were reporting on the whole process of the joint army exercises, and at the same time invited experts and professors from all walks of life to the studio for various discussions.

And it is also very funny, the Western media who flaunted this exercise as a theme of peace also suddenly lost their voices.

Soon, the scale of coverage and the frequency of discussion began to be reduced one by one, until the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, when the exercise was about to end, and there was no place for it in many traditional channels of the Western media......

Needless to say, the direction of the reporting of these Western mouthpieces naturally reflects the attitude of their own governments towards this incident to a certain extent.

When the news about the virtual world and virtual technology in China came out, the Great Elder had to receive a lot of phone greetings from leaders from Western countries.

Zhao Hao didn't know what he had experienced, and he didn't want to know.

But with this guy's relatively good social status in China now, Zhao Hao himself has not found any changes in domestic policy decisions in recent days.

Everything is going very smoothly!

……

Soon, the time came to the tenth day of the first month.

Originally, this was just a day that could not be up or down, and the more traditional days of visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival have long passed.

Most of the more struggling office workers have already started their normal work schedules after annual leave at this time.

However, just today, a report from the CCTV media news column followed by the previous sharp drop in network costs and the preview of the virtual world's exhibition, which once again detonated the topic of domestic public opinion!

That is, with the continuous sunny weather and rising temperatures since the beginning of the year, the deep snow layer that used to cover the northern part of China has gradually thinned.

In some places, the snow layer has even melted intermittently, revealing the moist soil below.

And this news report released by CCTV is the news that Lop Nur in western China has reappeared in the world!

With the continuous melting of a large amount of snow and the continuous convergence of snow meltwater, Lop Nur, which had been completely dried up in the past, is now rejuvenated and reappeared in the desert area in the northwest!

Through the latest satellite cloud images, it can be found that an irregular lake with a very large area and about tens of thousands of square kilometers is lying quietly on the western land at the moment.

The turquoise water reflects the color of the sky, and the surroundings are white!

Pure and full of life!

On the news screen, it can be found through the shooting of drone footage that Lop Nur is still in a state of ice and water mixture at this time.

However, even so, according to the joint evaluation of several hydrological experts and local authorities, the deepest part of the water level in Lop Nur at this time has actually reached more than 20 meters!

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, as well as the characteristics of the continental climate, large areas of snow are still piled up around the lake.

It is conceivable that as long as the temperature rises in another month or two, when the temperature rises and the large snow melts, both in terms of water storage and area, this former land of desert pearls will become more brilliant and extensive!
