Monopolize!

What is the most profitable in this world? Drugs? Ammunition? No, no, no, what we are talking about here is not the means of making money, but the way of making money.

This is called a monopoly.

A simple example, Chen Xu's father's rabid dog nemesis. Why is this drug selling so crazy in the world, and why is it so expensive? It's because only Chen Xu's father's family has this thing in the world, so he can set whatever price he wants, as long as others are in need, then they must buy it at this price and bargain? Grab the market with similar products at low prices? None of this is possible!

Chen Xu can think of this because of his father's rabid dog buster, who has monopolized the world's top technology, so these technologies are sold through their hands, and they naturally open as much price as they want. And in order to ensure monopoly, they naturally will not allow others to steal their business...... That's the rule.

Chen Xu couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this, it turns out that this is what they call the rules?

However, looking at the description behind, Chen Xu felt that this kind of rule was not so simple.

"During the Cold War, X increased its efforts to promote the development of science and technology in the United States and Europe, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the pace of development of this technology slowed down. Although the speed of scientific and technological development in the world from the nineties of the 20th century to the present seems to be changing with each passing day, the speed of development in the peak field has tended to be slow. In X's words, the development of science and technology has entered an orderly, step-by-step process. ”

"There are many opinions about the definition of Organization X. To be sure, there are powerful American families such as Morgan and Rockefeller among the supporters of the X organization, and it is not clear whether the purpose of their existence is contrary to the original intention of its founders or whether it continues its mission. ”

Next is Hao Aiguo's own words: "Judging from some of the information we have. Organization X does have world-leading technology, and if their technology is made public, the world's technology system will be extremely badly hit. The consequence of a heavy blow to technology will be that the global economic system will also be hit extremely hard, and from this point of view, Organization X's guidance on the direction of science and technology has its right reasons. ”

"But again, due to the limitations of the X organization, the current development of science and technology has fallen into a bottleneck. That is to say, the development of science and technology in the world today is confined to a circle, for example, the development of computers. Ten years ago, home computers had just begun to enter the lives of ordinary people, but ten years later, the hardware and software levels of home computers have been greatly improved. Although the extent of this improvement is significant, according to our data, Organization X has already mastered the manufacturing process of the fifth generation computer. That is to say, in fact, the rapid development of computers is only limited to a range, and there is no way to jump out of this circle, it has always been at the level of the fourth generation, and according to our estimates, unless the development space of the fourth generation of computers is completely squeezed out, they will not launch the fifth generation of computers. ”

Seeing this, Chen Xu checked the information again. The development process of computers is now the fourth generation, the earliest, the first generation of computers is the tube computer, the electronic computer with the tube as the main circuit element, and almost all of them are giant computers.

The invention of the first generation of computers ushered mankind into another industrial revolution -- the computer revolution. However, because the size of the tube computer is too large, there are tens of thousands of components at every turn, and once a component goes wrong, it takes a lot of effort to repair it, so it is not perfect, but it is already a huge progress in human history.

The second generation of electronic computers, on the other hand, used transistors, which greatly reduced the size and weight of computers, and reduced prices and failures. This is the second generation of computers, not only a leap forward in the surname energy, but also a breakthrough in the manufacturing process.

The third generation of computers is a high-efficiency computer consisting of integrated circuits, which appeared in 1958. But until the third generation, the development of computers has always been in the category of medium-sized machines or mainframes. And at this time, people began to call for the advent of the minicomputer.

And so the fourth generation of computers that we use today was finally born.

The fourth-generation computer was born out of the third-generation computer, and with the birth of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits and microprocessors, computers are getting faster and smaller. In 1974, with the advent of Intel's 8-bit microprocessor chip 8080, computers began to gradually enter the lives of ordinary people, and until today, all the computers we use are the fourth generation.

In the hands of the X organization, it has preliminarily mastered the process of the fifth-generation computer. However, under their limitations, the development of computers has been maintained in the fourth generation, and even if the potential of the fourth generation is not squeezed out, it will not be updated.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

From Chen Xu's point of view, this kind of organization that restricts the development of science and technology should be punished for crimes against humanity and dragged to parade in the streets, but reason also tells him that in fact, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

What if...... What about a biological computer like Xiaomin, which suddenly appeared in this world and was mass-produced and put on sale?

Not to mention the information in Xiaomin's computer, what are the consequences of this biological computer next?

With such a high-tech biological computer, who would still use the current junk PC computer? And it also has a virtual illusion function, so it is foreseeable that how many manufacturers of computer hardware and software in the world will go out of business? How scary will the world's tech stocks plummet? And then there's the collapse of tech stocks, and the whole stock crash with it, and then factories will close, a lot of people will lose their jobs, and the global economy will enter a recession -- by the way, not only computer manufacturers, but also mobile phones, DVDs, cameras, and so on.

This chain reaction is terrible enough to start a war!

Just like the person who is in contact with Chen Xu in the X organization said: "Now it's just for oil, and the wars launched by various countries are enough to make the world tremble, so let's use an analogy." Suppose that China has completely abandoned oil at this time, and used and promoted more efficient helium-3 energy. So do you think that such an act that touches the interests of the whole world will not lead to a third world war? ”

Throughout the two world wars, in fact, they were all linked to interests. If this happens, the world's economy will enter a cold winter, the number of unemployed people will skyrocket, and the pressure on the political axe of various countries will be too great. Then the only way to release the pressure is to fight a foreign war.

From this point of view, some technologies that are too ahead of their time cannot easily appear in this era.

So now Chen Xu is a little confused, it is difficult to make a fair judgment on whether the existence of Organization X is right or wrong. In fact, this is not surprising, it is difficult to have a real sense of right and wrong in the world, such a philosophical surname is similar to the question of chicken or egg, let Chen Xu, who has little experience now, think about it, it is indeed too difficult.

So how do you reply to the other person?

Judging from the information given by Hao Aiguo, the strength of this X organization is extremely powerful. After all, an organization that has been leading the world in science and technology for 20 years can have a great impact on the world's economy and politics. The invasion of the military system against them is enough to show that they have no fear.

Seeing that Chen Xu hadn't replied to the message for a long time, the other party asked again: "SMMH, I don't know what you think about?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Xu began to get nervous. After all, as a student, it is inevitable to be nervous in the face of such a powerful organization. To rashly offend such an organization, for Chen Xu, even if it is a virtual network identity, it is absolutely unwise.

But as for joining...... That's even more impossible, he knows very well what Chen Xu's own material is. Except for a computer from the future, he is a scumbag, and even if Chen Xu has that ability, he doesn't want to join such an organization - because from the bottom of his heart, Chen Xu doesn't like this X organization, whether they are guarding the balance of the world or not, but in Chen Xu's opinion, they are restricting the development of this world.

How can we get them to retreat?

After all, SMMH has had an intersection with Chen Xu, such as Rabies Buster, although there is no news about this drug related to SMMH, but after all, it is also a monopoly drug. There is also the software that SMMH made for Gao Xiaojie's game last time I made a game.

If these things are associated with someone with a heart, it is inevitable that they will not find out about him. I can't find out even anything, but I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves!

So what Chen Xu is thinking about now is how to strike a balance with them. Let the other party give up the idea of soliciting themselves, and the two sides will not tear their faces and become mortal enemies.

Because my strength is still too weak! If you have enough strength, then where is the need to be so sneaky?

For the first time after getting the computer, Chen Xu came up with this idea.
