In mid-December, the basic communication network was established, and Xiao Na, the only strong artificial intelligence that has been dormant until now, was also awakened by Luo Sheng again.

At present, the domestic communication network system has been repaired, and it only barely covers the two core economic belts and some coastal areas, the capital region and other important areas, and a certain communication network has also been restored in North America, thanks to Elon Musk's SpaceX.

Ironically, NASA has not been able to fund it so far, and in the end it has to be left to private companies to solve the problem, and the general public is not yet able to enjoy the knowledge of communication and network services in the wealthy areas of North America.

According to this trend, it is possible to have a network only when Star Arrow International's "Qunxing Plan" realizes global networking, and it will not be until the second half of next year at the earliest.

However, even if there is an Internet connection, for many ordinary people, it does not mean that they will be able to resume their pre-storm life, and they will still have electricity, depending on how well the local telecom operators and power companies do.

As for Beating, it is basically impossible to restore a decent communication system on his own, but he has not sat still.

The Middle East is about to restore the Internet, and the people of the Beaters can't bear it at first glance, so they finally drop their faces and come over to ask for help.

……

On December 23, the eurozone arrived in Sioux City with a business negotiator team headed by Williams.

On the morning of the same day, his special plane successfully landed at Sioux City International Airport, and frankly speaking, there are not many planes that can be used by the people of Tazhou now, and most of them are basically lying in a state of lying in the nest, and electronic components are being replaced.

Out of the terminal, Williams and other foreigners took a special car to the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

"Drive slower!"

Williams commanded the driver, he wanted to take a special look at the situation of the city in Huaguo, and he was observing along the way.

"It's incredible, this ability to recover is terrifying, where is it like to have suffered a natural disaster that has never been seen before in human history?" Williams watched the city through the car window along the way, and his heart was shocked, and the envy and jealousy in his eyes were undisguised.

Anyway, there is no one else in the car, so there is no need to do too much expression management.

In Williams's eyes, Sioux City at this moment did not look like it had suffered a natural disaster at all, the streets were bustling with people, and there was no hesitation or fear in the expressions of the citizens of the city he saw.

The whole city is running in an orderly manner, and the local citizens should go to work and go shopping, and some young people who bow their heads touch their mobile phones and watch non-stop......

All of this made Williams' envy difficult to hide.

It is worth mentioning that despite the popularity and bustling of Sioux City now, there are still more than five million people living in the city, and the city next door is even more than eight million.

Before the storm in Sioux City, the city's population reached 16.85 million in terms of floating population, and more than 10 million people had already gone to the countryside, otherwise it would have been more lively.

As the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt begins to recover, some people have begun to return to the city from the countryside, but the city still has extremely strict control over the inflow of population, and only those who need the current economic recovery can be allowed to enter the city first.

There is no way to strictly restrict the inflow of population, too many people enter the city at this juncture, which will greatly push up the city's operating costs, and there are very few communities that can be electrified.

At the same time, the cables in each community and each building must be checked one by one, and those damaged by electrical pulses must be replaced.

Including the cables buried in the ground have to be investigated, and major cities across the country will soon start digging roads to re-lay cables.

Remove the potential safety hazards to get electricity, and now the electricity bill is also very expensive, household electricity to 45 yuan a kilowatt-hour, is also limited to open, basically no mine at home is now unable to afford electricity.

The current financial pressure is actually quite large, the rich pay more electricity bills, and the power companies are all state-owned enterprises, which is equivalent to indirectly cutting the leeks of the rich, which can be regarded as willing to fight.

At the same time, the high cost of living in the city can also largely inhibit the willingness of people to move into the city on a large scale, and seeing that the cost of living in the city is so high, citizens are naturally willing to spend more time in the countryside.

At present, most people who come to the city mainly seek medical treatment.

Moreover, some villages are not without electricity, and this storm has indirectly promoted a large number of intellectuals to go to the countryside, and they are also panicked, and there are always times when they are tired of traveling all day long.

At this time, there are many science and engineering men who are not idle, giving full play to the power of the group, using limited resources and equipment to build generators, generating their own electricity, biogas power generation, hydroelectric power generation, etc., and making full use of natural resources.

Many villages have reservoirs and rivers, and a large group of idle college students and science and engineering men are also in full swing to build rivers and dams, make a potential energy gap out, and build a temporary small hydropower station to supply the electricity demand of the whole village.

Such things are not uncommon in rural areas all over the country, and Chinese people will never sit idly by.

This is the truth that the tree dies and the person lives.

Of course, the problem is not small, and the potential safety hazards are not without it, after all, there is no standardization, standardization, not even a license, and there can be no safety hazards at all.

However, in this extraordinary period, I also turned a blind eye, and I was not approved, but I didn't say no, it all depends on my understanding, but everyone's understanding is obviously understood, and it can only be understood but not spoken.

However, he said that the European business negotiation team that came to Sioux City had a day of rest at the Hyatt Regency Hotel that day, and would only meet and negotiate with Luo Sheng the next day.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel is currently the only high-end hotel business place in Sioux City that has restored power supply, and the cost of water and electricity is dozens of times higher than usual, but if you want to stay in a hotel at this time, the price is sky-high, and basically only the rich can afford it.

According to past examples, such high-level business negotiations are often chartered by the Hyatt Hotel, but at present, the entire Sioux City is such a high-end hotel in normal business, and it is not realistic to drive people out, and they are basically rich people, who may make trouble for you.

For a series of reasons, Luo Sheng also directly invited Williams to his science and technology complex building for this business negotiation.

The people of Beatzhou actually have some concerns, after all, Luo Sheng's house cannot guarantee that the content of the negotiations between the two sides will not be recorded, and there are scientific and technological equipment everywhere, which is also heard.

However, there are not many choices at the moment, which Williams and others are also very clear, and finally agreed to conduct this business negotiation in Luo Sheng's private residence.

……

Following.

Early this morning, more than 100 reporters were already squatting at the main entrance of the science and technology complex building, and the interesting thing is that there are more foreign faces, especially special reporters from European media organizations.

The domestic media and the people who eat melons really don't care much about this international business negotiation, and most people are more concerned about the current development of their country.

And the people of Beatzhou can be said to be very concerned about this business meeting, and the beautiful country can't count on it, and it is difficult to protect itself, especially the recently rising number one person, Kevin Saron, who is also making a lot of fun on the beautiful country's side now.

In fact, the people of the continent are actually very afraid of Kevin Salon, if he gains power, Europe will be enough to drink a pot, so the elites in Europe and the United States hope that Kevin Salon, the number one person, will be finished quickly.

This time I ran over to ask for help, in fact, it was also the result of being forced, and the elites of the Assault Continent also knew that they couldn't let the mess go, or do something serious, and when the time came, the people at the bottom might be able to deal with them.

The elites on the continent don't want a figure like Kevin Salons to take their lives on their own turf.

At half past ten o'clock in the morning, the reporters present saw a train coming, and it was Williams and others who arrived on time, the outer door of the science and technology complex building slowly opened, and Williams's motorcade drove into the building.

Reporters outside the venue kept catching, especially European media reporters, who were very concerned about today's business negotiations, which is of immeasurable significance to the recovery of the economy in Suzhou.
