831 National security
Ewan Brown came to Huaxia this time specifically not specifically for the godfather of the little princess, so after the grand full moon banquet, the two sat in a secret conference room on the ground floor of the Tianshu Group's capital headquarters building again and began to negotiate.

The last time they met, the two finalized a lot of things, but in fact, the United States did not directly appear in the list of countries that Quantum Internet and "Star Wars" would start in after this press conference. And this time Iwan Brown is here to solve this problem once and for all.
It's not that Ivan Brown is not trustworthy, and the negotiations between the two sides are stuck on some special terms regarding the introduction of quantum connectivity and the game. A large part of the power of the president of the United States comes from the support of Congress, and now whether it is quantum interconnection or the full introduction of "Star Wars", it is obvious that the interests of many people have been touched, especially for the United States, the birthplace of the Internet, the intangible loss of the unrestricted introduction of quantum interconnection is immeasurable. There will be a backlash, which is expected by Wang Shizi.
And in this conversation, the need of both sides is to get the other side to give in.
For example, Ivan Brown hopes that Wang Shizi can give some of the core technology of quantum superbrain, or let the United States have its own large quantum superbrain in exchange for congressional approval of quantum interconnection, but Wang Shizi is obviously not willing to do so.
Some core technologies are on the list for sale, but some technologies Wang Shizi does not plan to hand over. Especially about quantum superbrain. He has a very detailed plan for how many units to build on the earth and where to build them, so Wang Shizi never planned to let this step go, so there was this meeting.
In order to show sincerity, Ivan Brown did not even keep his chief of staff around, so it was only a very secret meeting between the two, although the US president still hoped that in this way Wang Shizi could understand his difficulties and agree with his ideas.
"Wang, I also tried the game "Star War". Of course, I didn't have that much time to play all the time, so I just used my break to try it out. Don't you think there is a very serious problem with this game, the virtual reality world you have created is completely a fertile ground for anarchist ideas, which is also the fundamental reason why the entry threshold for this game needs to be restricted in the report that Congress gave me. ”
This may be Ewan Brown's negotiation skills, thinking small.
If the normal order of conversation is followed, the first thing that the two of them solve should be the admission of quantum interconnection. After all, quantum superbrain is the basis for entering the game "Star War".
"Anarchism? I think you or your aides are too worried, Ivan! Wang Shizi smiled and shook his head, "There are also laws in the game, and we fully respect the laws of various countries, of course, this will not be talked about for the time being." Speaking of games, I want to ask you a question, why is there an economic crisis in this world? ”
"Huh?" Ivan Brown was a little stunned, Wang Shizi's topic changed too quickly, and he couldn't react.
"Of course, we don't need economists' mystical explanations, we don't talk about the relative production capacity, means of payment, means of circulation and other common words in economics, I just want you to explain to me, why our society often has economic crises? There are still so many people, and there are still so many resources on the earth, why did the crisis suddenly appear? Leaving aside the principles of economics and the laws of social development, how do you think the economic crisis appeared? ”
"Well, then because many people don't have the money to spend!"
"yes, there's no money to spend! Every economic crisis is usually accompanied by social unrest, discontent, and more people become hostile to the rich, but few people actually benefit from the economic crisis, even the well-dressed Wall Street guys. Many people can only languish in the crisis, waiting for the day when they will turn over. Some people say that this is the law of economics and cannot be changed, but have you ever thought that the greatest benefit that Star Wars will bring to your country is to completely eliminate the economic crisis during your tenure? ”
"No capitalist will take the initiative to take out all his wealth for large-scale redistribution. This is the real reason for the outbreak of the economic crisis. When wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, when more and more poor people have no money to spend, and the market is sluggish, an economic crisis creeps in. The poor need all kinds of materials, but they can't afford to consume them, and the rich have too many resources, but as the top of society, they can't consume so many products. As a result, countless intermediary enterprises cannot find sellers for their products and make no money, and then they can only lay off more low-income people, have no jobs, and more people have no money to spend, and then the snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and the economic crisis is coming as scheduled. ”
"In the midst of the economic crisis, everybody had to tighten their belts to get by. And the development of modern science and technology will amplify the impact of this economic crisis! For example, when countless American companies use our robots, they will inevitably further lay off their existing employees. The continued increase in unemployment means that social instability has increased significantly. And then more and more people will start to complain about the incompetence of the government, and I think that's where anarchy comes in, not our game! On the contrary, Star Wars was launched to help you solve this problem! Because this is a game that can make the rich willing to take out their money to subsidize the poor. As long as there is a little bit of ability, a little luck, and nine points of hard work, anyone can get enough benefits in the game to their satisfaction, everyone can take what they need in the game, reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, and keep the economic crisis away from the whole world, this is the original intention of this game! Don't you feel like you're putting the cart before the horse? ”
Wang Shizi refuted in one breath, so that Ivan Brown didn't know how to speak for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "You can't say that." Wang, you should understand that in fact, our products are not excessive, and the resources are still limited......"
"You are wrong, that was before, the modern agricultural base, coupled with our super nutrition pill technology, could meet the feeding needs of almost the entire population of the world. As you said, resources are limited, but only temporarily. You are one of the people in the world who knows our Ladder and Space City plans, and you know that we will not be short of resources in the near future! When the space city is built, when humanity has a space port, and now the robot technology of the Star Group, it means that we will have the ability to have large-scale interstellar mining. ”
"Far from it, the moon alone has been shown to have more rare metal reserves than the earth, as well as minerals that are not found on the earth. Not to mention that the soil of the moon is rich in helium-3, when we solve the problem of nuclear fusion in the future, these helium-3 can be combined with the helium fusion produced by deuterium can bring clean energy to the earth without producing neutrons! According to our current findings, there are at least 800,000 tons of helium-3 on the moon, and for every ton of helium-3 extracted, we will be able to have 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon! Not to mention the innumerable resources on the moon, ilmenite in the basalt of the moon sea, kripping rock rich in potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus, rich in thorium, shaft. And this is just a moon, looking farther away, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, etc., and the planets around them, these planets may not be suitable for life, but there are hundreds of millions of years of unexploited resources on the planet! Do you still feel that our resources are limited? ”
"Maybe you don't know, in fact, the mecha technology we launched was originally developed for future interstellar geological exploration! When the minerals discover the minerals of these planets through mechas, our exclusive robot army will start building bases on these unsuitable planets, and countless resources will be collected through these robots and sent to space cities through large space carriers, which is the future of humanity. You can use my words to convince Congress! And tell them that I have not broken my promise until now. If they don't want to get a piece of the pie in the interstellar era of future human beings, then they can put obstacles in the way of our product access at this time! ”
Wang Shizi threw out such remarks almost without giving Ivan Brown a chance to interject, and the American president began to ponder again.
"Well, Wang, I have to say that the future you describe is indeed very exciting, so let's be honest and honest, as a friend, I can trust you, but I can't base the national security of the United States on trust in you personally. You should know that Congress is interested in cybersecurity, and this is the Internet era. Maybe we can make concessions on the game, but if the United States can't master the key technology of quantum superbrain, this will be the biggest obstacle to quantum interconnection access! Congress must think about national security! Our national security also includes information security! Ivan Brown spread his hands helplessly.
"When it comes to national security, it's easy to get into a loop." Wang Shizi rubbed his brows helplessly, then stood up, and casually summoned his intelligent secretary, and the next moment, a document similar to PPT appeared in front of the two.
"Your Excellency President Brown, since this is the case, why don't I talk to you about some of my thoughts."
Ivan Brown looked at Wang Shizi in amazement, a world map with Huaxia as the center on the virtual screen, full of red lines and arrows, made him feel a chill in his heart suddenly rise just by looking at it.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Ivan Brown, from your perspective as the president of the earth's superpower, if the earth really enters the interstellar age, what should be the most perfect situation on the earth before we have the ability to go out of the earth, mine resources beyond the earth, explore life beyond the earth, and conduct various diplomacy with other intelligent civilizations in the universe that may be?" Wang Shizi asked suddenly.
Ivan Brown was silent, this question was a little sensitive, especially with the virtual sand table map that Wang Shizi had just shown, so that Ivan Brown knew in an instant what Wang Shizi wanted him to say, but he was really hard to say this.
"If you don't say it, I'll help you say it! The most perfect situation is naturally that the United States has unified the whole world, and there is only one voice on the whole planet, that is, the voice of the Federal Republic of Earth, right? But if as a Chinese person, the ideal situation is naturally that Huaxia has unified the world, and there is only one voice left in the entire earth, and a complete country occupies a planet, so that when we really encounter alien civilizations, we can unify our minds in the fastest time, treat these alien civilizations according to a set of strategies, and at the same time allocate almost unlimited resource stars according to the rules formed under a single value. ”
"Yes, that's the ideal state. There is only one voice on Earth, and we will represent the interests of the people of the earth in the interstellar world, not the interests of any country. We have a unified identity across the interstellar stage. And today's information and communication technology, as well as rapid transit technology, also give this era a global foundation! So from the very beginning, I have thought about how to achieve this, and even once considered whether the Star Group should use the power of China to launch such a war when the Star Group has enough strength to quickly integrate all the nations of the world. Even the United States is the number one enemy I have ever considered, and I even drafted a plan to bring the United States to death within three months. ”
"Three months? Are you kidding? Ivan Brown interrupted unhappily.
"No, please believe me, with the current strength of the Star Group, three months is enough!" Wang Shizi shook his head, "For example, during your country's annual state of the nation address, find a way to raze your country's Capitol to the ground and annihilate more than 95 percent of the top federal government in one fell swoop. There is no doubt that even if your country's security measures are strict, Star Group has the ability to do so without even knowing it. Of course, I know that during the Cold War, your country had a system of designated survivors in its constitution to prevent a sudden nuclear attack, but does this system really guarantee the continuity of the federal government? It's still up for debate, right? With the loss of 90 percent of the country's elite, the new president only needs a few very simple ways to upset the hearts of the people in your country's 50 states! After all, the relationship between the federal government and the state government is not as harmonious as it seems! At the same time, if we can make all your missiles a dud, the communication between armies is completely chaotic, and a huge empire will probably fall apart in less than three months. What do you think? But I didn't choose this plan, in fact, I gave up on this plan as soon as it came out! So do you really think quantum connectivity poses a threat to U.S. national security? ”
