Chapter 1081: Another Possibility

As the heart of the European Union, the victory of the German Revolution has inspired the people of Europe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The collapse of the Rothschild empire has accelerated the pace of "de-rightism" in European countries, and people have begun to reflect on whether the choices they made two years ago were correct, and whether those far-right parties have really taken their countries in a better direction after coming to power.

Contrary to the volatile situation in Europe, the Asian economy on the other side of the globe is steadily rising.

Especially in that country located in the western Pacific Ocean with a vast sea area, GDP is growing by leaps and bounds like a space elevator.

On June 10, a delegation from the Japanese government took the initiative to come to Koro City and led Chubu Electric Power Company and Tokyo Electric Power Company to forge an agreement to expand electricity imports, raising the total amount of imported electricity by 31% in the second half of the year to replace two nuclear power plants in the country that had been shut down.

At present, the mining rate of helium-3 in Guanghan City is far greater than the consumption rate, and the new second nuclear fusion power station is about to be completed, and there is still a considerable surplus of production capacity. For such an agreement, Jiang Chen of course welcomed it with open hands.

Not only Japan, but also the Chinese market, which Jiang Chen coveted the most, has also relaxed its policy and sent many delegations of power companies to visit Xinguo. As the world's largest electricity consumer, China's electricity market is larger than that of the United States, which ranks second, and India, which ranks third, combined.

Even if Huaguo eliminated half of the thermal power, it would make Transwarp Trade go crazy.

By the beginning of June, the first crucial step of the Global Grid Plan had been completed. Thanks to the efforts of many parties, Transwarp has successfully covered 80% of the countries and regions in Australia and Asia, and the output of electricity accounts for 88% of the total domestic electricity output value.

Benefiting from the dividends brought by cheap electricity, according to the proportion of imported electricity in the country's total electricity consumption, the industrial costs of the countries that are members of the global grid plan have fallen by a maximum of 1.7% and a minimum of 0.3%. Don't underestimate the drop of these two points, refracted to the GDP in trillions, the energy generated is unimaginable!

This does not mention a series of benefits such as the ecological environment, the investment climate, the competitiveness of export products, the promotion of electrification, and the reduction of the dependence of domestic industries on the energy market. In short, governments that have tasted the sweetness have also released positive signals and sent their own entrepreneurs to negotiate with the new country to see if they can expand imports.

The New York Times even declared that the new country had become a country on a telephone pole. The Washington Post was accompanied by a highly satirical cartoon of dog chains extending from the western Pacific Ocean to the surrounding countries, large and small.

No matter what the media reports, the countries that bought tickets and got on the train have already taken the high-speed electrified train, and they naturally have no reason to jump out of the train when they taste the sweetness. Through submarine cables, Jiang Chen has gained not only a steady stream of cash flow, but also real diplomatic capital.

One of the main reasons why the US dollar has dominated the global market for more than half a century is that oil is indispensable for any country that wants to develop light and heavy industries, and the US dollar happens to be linked to oil. If your domestic crude oil production cannot meet domestic demand, then you can only reserve more foreign exchange to avoid risks.

It's the same now, with countries across Asia adding to their Singapore dollar holdings.

When the rise and fall of the Singapore dollar can already affect the cost of industrial and living electricity in many countries, even if Coro is not the world's financial center, the new Fed seems to have the potential to leverage the hegemony of the US dollar.

It's not about finance, it's hard power.

……

Five days before the Outer Space Security Summit was held, Jiang Chen had already sent invitations to 10 major countries in the world, and vaguely mentioned in the invitation that the topics discussed at the meeting would be related to extraterrestrial civilizations.

So far, all 10 countries that have received invitations have indicated that they will send high-level foreign ministers to visit.

There is no suspense about the holding of the meeting, and for Jiang Chen's side, what kind of evidence to come up with at the meeting has become a key issue.

At present, the space telescope he transported from the end of the world has been installed in a space elevator and sent to synchronous orbit. Jiang Chen didn't know exactly the specific coordinates of the colonial ship, but he knew where they would come from and where their destination was, which was enough.

The Gliese 581 galaxy is about 2 degrees north of β Libra and 20.5 light-years from Earth. A week before the invitation was sent, the Astronomical Observation Team of the Ring Trade and Space Department conducted a multi-day observation and analysis of the galaxy and finally came up with a startling ...... It was already expected news for Jiang Chen.

There is a 90% chance of life on the planet Gliese 581g.

"Unbelievable ......" Holding a stack of documents full of astronomical data in his hand, Kerrwin walked into Jiang Chen's office and said with an incredulous face, "Your conjecture is correct, there is indeed the possibility of giving birth to life. But I am certain that even if life existed there, it would never have given birth to civilizations above the Stone Age. ”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Oh? Why?"

"The first is tidal locking, and the habitable zone of the entire planet is only the morning and dusk line, which determines their living space. As he spoke, Kirwin took out another spectral chart from the document and put it in front of Jiang Chen, "Then the most critical thing is that the elemental composition of this planet contains a large amount of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon, but it is extremely lacking in mineral elements such as iron and aluminum. Referring to the analysis of the gravitational data we have observed, the most likely thing about this planet is that there are a group of arthropods along the morning and dusk line, and even mammals do not exist!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded approvingly.

With the help of 22nd-century observation equipment, it is remarkable that so much valuable information can be analyzed from a limited amount of information.

"Have you considered another possibility? ”

"Another possibility?" said Kirwin, frowning.

"We have always believed that the development of civilization is linear, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, from the feudal age to the industrial revolution, and finally across the door of the information age into the future. ”

"Is there something wrong?" said Kirwin, disapprovingly.

"Conclusions drawn from only one frame of reference cannot be applied universally, and we cannot deny the possibility of the existence of other forms of civilization just because the development of human civilization is linear. Jiang Chen said.

"You're saying that a bunch of bugs might breed a civilization? No kidding, they ......" Kirwin shook his head, and was about to say that they didn't even have hands, but he was suddenly stunned.

He suddenly remembered some time ago, Star Ring Trade's military operation against the tundra of northern Finland. There, the Powered Armored Brigade, which is the pride of the Star Ring Trade, appears to have been confronted by a swarm of xenos crawling out of insect eggs.

Why did Jiang Chen let the Ring Trade and Space Department observe the Gliese Galaxy, why did Jiang Chen suddenly go to Finland before the X2 bacterial event broke out, and why was Jiang Chen so sure of the danger of the brood from the beginning......

All the clues were threaded together in Kirwin's mind.

He looked at Jiang Chen in a daze, and squeezed a few words out of his throat in disbelief.

"You mean ......"

"That's right," Jiang Chen nodded, and said seriously, "The beginning and end of the X2 bacteria is not just a research accident as advertised by the outside world, from the beginning, this is a conspiracy of extraterrestrial civilizations. (To be continued.) )
