Chapter 318: World Events

The virtual world is equivalent to creating an entire world from scratch, which is many times grander than the earth, so that even the most critical "human-computer interaction" is solved Problem, the birth of the virtual world still takes a long time, and Zhang Wei set this world in June 2024, for this goal, the future technology company launched a new round of recruitment, and from major companies and international first-class universities to poach people, the virtual world project team staff increased to 53,000, fortunately, the future technology company has been expanding, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

This move by Future Technology has also aroused suspicion from the outside world, because most of these new recruits are elites in the computer field, and the media have speculated that perhaps the virtual world project of Future Technology Company has made a breakthrough and has entered the final stage of preparation. Major Internet companies also believe that this is the case, and have accelerated the pace of strategic adjustment to meet the upcoming Internet revolution.

Gamers around the world are also very excited, gearing up, enthusiastically discussing the virtual world in their hearts, and online writers have also seen that the virtual world is a hot topic, and have used their rich imagination to launch virtual online game novels, not to mention, readers are very interested in this theme at this time, so that the number of subscriptions to these novels has reached new highs, making this part of the online writers grinning from ear to ear.

It is worth mentioning that all the current Internet writers are writing novels with Deep Blue 1, just think about it with your head, as long as you have a rich imagination and don't write a card, it is very easy to create 20,000 or 30,000 words an hour, and there are more than 100,000 novels a day, and there are 200,000 madmen a day, which makes readers both happy and distressed, and readers complain, "Ni Mei, I don't read novels as fast as you write novels!"

In addition, a new model has also been born in online novels, that is, online writers display the novel scenes they fantasize in their minds through Deep Blue 1, and then edit and modify them, and record them, and each chapter of the novel that readers see is no longer in the form of words, but a picture with a stronger sense of substitution. Not only online writers, but also many directors have made movies in this way. Since the advent of Deep Blue 1, people's entertainment methods can be said to be more and more abundant.

The popularity of the virtual world remains high, which also brings a certain amount of pressure to Zhang Wei and the future technology company, which is finally transformed into motivation, and everyone works overtime to improve the virtual world as soon as possible, so that it can be presented in front of everyone in a perfect posture and live up to everyone's expectations.

Time flies by in a flash, and soon it is March 2023.

In the past few months, Zhang Wei's life has been very simple and plain, in addition to busy work, he is to accompany his wife and son, watching his son grow up day by day, and the happiness in his heart is indescribable.

And when Zhang Wei was living an ordinary life, a lot of big things happened around the world.

The first big thing: Future Tech's low-end flying car went on sale on November 12, 2022, triggering a new round of sales frenzy. The number of low-end flying cars sold in November, which is only 400,000 yuan, is terrifying! In the eyes of the media, this is actually normal, because people around the world have been waiting for low-end flying cars for three years, and they have already prepared their money. If it weren't for the company's lack of inventory in the future, sales in November could have exceeded 50 million units.

Along with the low-end flying cars, there are also special models such as flying vans, flying police cars, and flying ambulances, and sales are also extremely hot.

From this moment on, flying cars can be regarded as truly popular, and the world has entered the era of flying cars, and people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Take express delivery as an example, 24-hour door-to-door delivery is already the minimum requirement, like SF Express, which can already achieve nationwide door-to-door delivery within 6 hours, for which SF Express purchased 30,000 flying cars at one time.

In addition, Tencent and Ali injected 140 billion yuan into Didi Dache and purchased 350,000 low-end flying cars at one time, making Didi Dache the largest taxi company in the country and the largest taxi company in the world, so that those who do not have flying cars can also enjoy a fast life.

Taxis have been fully upgraded to flying cars, and freight companies are also fully transformed, buying flying vans, carrying out flying cargo services, and delivering to your door in a few hours nationwide, which has brought great benefits to the country's economy.

The second major event: On December 29, 2022, South Korea's 300-ton "Naro-2" carrier rocket exploded more than 200 kilometers above the ground after liftoff.

Speaking of this, South Korea is a handful of snot and tears.

Before the Korean War, South Korea had never been independent in the real sense, and had been trying to survive in the cracks between China, Japan, Russia and many other powers, often becoming a vassal country, a colony, a protectorate, and often ravaged by foreign powers. After the end of World War II, South Korea gained independence with the support of the United States and made great progress. However, the long history of bullying and oppression has left an indissolvable inferiority complex in the hearts of Koreans. In order to desperately eliminate this inferiority complex, he revises history to beautify himself. Myths such as "so-and-so celebrity has Korean ancestry" and "the universe is made in Korea" are created to cover up their history of being bullied. It is precisely for this reason that South Korea is nicknamed "the first power in the universe" by many Chinese netizens.

China, the United States, and Russia have successively established large-scale permanent bases on the moon, and Japan, India, and European countries have also completed manned landings on the moon, planting national flags on the moon, and enclosing a lot of territory.

South Korea has the heart of a great power, so it is naturally not to be left behind, and it has also increased its investment in space technology, wanting to keep up with the pace of China, the United States and other countries.

However, although South Korea's economy is OK, but the manufacturing industry can basically only be described as face-saving goods, equipment is bought, technology is introduced, and the history of doing cottages is much longer than China's, light industry, electronics, medicine, and chemical industry, which are good and remarkable on the basis of copying, but when it comes to giant system engineering, they can basically only make up for a lot of fun, just a patchwork tank, and the Koreans have been doing it for more than ten years, let alone space technology.

Before the launch of "Luo Lao 2", even many South Koreans were not optimistic, and Chinese netizens were complaining, "Was the rocket launched with its mouth?"

It turned out to be tragic.

After the "Luolao-2" carrier rocket equipped with the lunar exploration robot took off, it exploded more than 200 kilometers above the ground.

The explosion not only shattered the already fragile hearts of South Koreans, but also caused a major disaster.

The explosion produced tens of thousands of debris that erupted into 200 to 500 kilometers of space in low-earth orbit, moving unscrupulously in low-earth orbit, with some fragments moving at speeds of up to seven or eight kilometers per second, and the slowest ones were much faster than bullets. And ninety percent of the satellites and space bases on Earth are in low-earth orbit, and then ...... A lot of satellite cups were hit by debris from this explosion and then failed.

In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger collided with a 0.2 mm diameter piece of paint, causing the porthole to be damaged and had to be returned to Earth early. In 1986, the Ariane rocket exploded shortly after it entered orbit, leaving 564 pieces of 10-centimeter-sized wreckage and 2,300 pieces of small fragments. These dense "projectiles" later directly caused the failure of two Japanese satellites.

However, there has never been an accident that made so much of a difference, and according to later statistics, 435 satellites failed, and even the International Space Station of the United States was taken down.

Not long after the space accident, many countries, including South Korea and the United States, asked China and Future Technology companies for help to rescue their country's satellites and scientists working in the space station, Zhang Wei did not hesitate, and immediately let all the company's spacecraft go out and saved many scientists and satellites, of course, this is charged, saving people for free, but each satellite has to charge a service fee of a quarter of the value of the satellite, and in the end, the revenue of future technology companies is as high as 13.7 billion.

A week after the accident, countries led by China, the United States, and Russia held an international conference to discuss the topic of "cleaning up space junk and getting South Korea to compensate." ”

China, the United States, Russia and other countries have lost a large number of satellites, and even a few countries with weak science and technology have all their satellites destroyed. It can be said that South Korea has suddenly become a public enemy of the world!

In the face of angry countries, South Korea has to pay if it does not pay, because it has no confidence to refuse.

South Korea lost all its fortune and was forced to disclose a lot of technology to these countries, but even so, it is still burdened with a large amount of foreign debt, and life is quite difficult, and it no longer has the confidence to claim to be the first power in the universe.

This incident has now triggered a chain reaction, because South Korea lost a lot of money, the life of South Koreans has suddenly become embarrassed and a lot, and after the disclosure of technology, the competitiveness of South Korean companies has dropped a lot, corporate income has declined, and the lives of South Koreans have become even more embarrassing, for this reason, South Koreans are very angry and have knocked the president down. However, this still does not solve South Korea's problems, and it will be difficult for South Korea to turn around in the foreseeable future.

In this case, there was a call in South Korea: "Annexation to China." ”

Many South Koreans believe that South Korea has suffered heavy losses after this space accident, and it will take at least five years to recover, and the development speed of today's world is too fast, and it is in an era of most critical and fierce change, five years later, even if South Korea recovers, the gap between the world and the world will only get bigger and bigger, if the Korean nation does not want to be at the bottom of the earth's civilization forever, there is only one way to go by merging into China。 As long as the discerning person can see that China will only get better and better, leaving other countries in the dust. Besides, South Korea used to have a very close relationship with China in the past, and now that it has been incorporated into China, it is only a return to history.

What happened in South Korea had a major impact on the whole world.

Now, there are many similar voices in the world, all of which are small countries and some of the citizens of poor countries, hoping to merge into big countries like China, the United States, and Russia, because the world situation has changed, and several large countries led by China are entering the space age, and other countries simply do not have the ability to do so. Some nationals of Thailand, Cambodia, Outer Mongolia and other countries want to be incorporated into China, the African people are strongly calling for the formation of an African federation, some people in Europe are calling for the formation of a European federation, some countries of the former Soviet Union want to form the Soviet Union again, and people from Arab countries are calling for the formation of an Arab federation...... Well, Treasure Island is also hotly discussed, whether it is officially back!

However, these are only the voices of the people, and governments have not acted accordingly. Of course, this is only the situation on the surface, many countries have begun to contact in private, but these countries only want to form a loose federation, the countries within the federation still have autonomy, and each country wants to get more say in the formed federation, so there is no negotiation.

But some experts say that federalism is the trend of the times under tremendous pressure, because only by uniting can these backward countries condense into a fist and barely hope to catch up with China. In a few years, there may be six to ten federations on the earth: a federation headed by China, a federation of the Americas led by the United States, a federation headed by Russia, Europe divided into two federations, Eastern and Western Europe, the African Federation, the Arab Federation, the Great Indian Federation, and the Japanese ...... Japan's best option is to join China, but the relationship between the two countries is too complicated, and it is estimated that it will be enough.

The third big thing: Future Tech's spacecraft arrived at Europa and Titan, two planets where life could exist, and began to explore. The results of the exploration show that these two planets, like Mars, have lower life such as microorganisms, and no higher intelligent life like humans. However, the environment of these two planets is excellent and suitable for migration, especially Titan, which has a strong atmosphere that blocks cosmic rays, and is very suitable for transforming into a planet suitable for human habitation.

When the world learned of the results, it became a sensation: Europa is only slightly smaller than the Moon at 3,100 kilometers in diameter, and Titan, with an average radius of 2,575 kilometers, which is only slightly smaller than the Moon. If we can really immigrate to these two planets, human beings will have a lot more living space!

However...... Many countries also understand that they can only think about it, because they cannot afford to enjoy this feast.

At this time, the rulers of these countries, under great pressure, began to seriously consider merging with other countries. (To be continued.) )
