00964 Forty-six years (I)

Soon after Liu Xuan left, the people who came to pick up Chu Yanran arrived.

A man and a woman, both Asian faces, but the uniforms they wore did not have a clear national symbol, only a tree-like emblem that Chu Yanran had never seen before.

"Hello, Ms. Chu, my name is Yin Peng, and Minister Li arranged for me to pick you up." It was the man who spoke, he was not tall and looked friendly.

Chu Yanran didn't have much feeling for these strangers, nodded silently and followed them.

The mysterious base located in the extreme depths of Lake Vostok is extremely large, which can be felt from Chu Yanran on the way to the lounge on the express train.

However, this kind of huge didn't give Chu Yanran too much shock, after all, the memories of the days when she lived in Gaia Star are still there, so for her, even if there is a miniature dome city here, she won't feel any fuss.

So Chu Yanran didn't speak all the way, she looked ahead, imagining what Li Shaoan would look like more than forty years later.

……

"Please take a break, Minister Li is attending an important meeting, and it is estimated that it will end in an hour."

Chu Yanran nodded, and then sat down in the lounge casually, this hour should be enough for her to understand what has happened on Earth in the past forty-six years.

……

However, it is a bit of a waste of time to look at it year by year from 2030 to 2076, so Chu Yanran's first search keyword is a summary of major events in the past 40 years.

After the formation of this keyword, a special website really appeared, and the title of the website was clearly written, which was called "The world has been scarred in the past half century......

Just looking at the title, Chu Yanran already had a premonition that the world must have been extremely unpeaceful in the past forty-six years, after all, in the days before her memory was broken, the whole world was already turbulent.

After a little mental preparation, Chu Yanran opened this web page, and then a series of major event records poured into Chu Yanran's mind.

"The riots in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower was bombed and tilted fifteen degrees"

Since the further escalation of the conflict between the Yellow Vests and the French government in 2024, France has been in a state of turmoil. Although the overall situation in France has improved thanks to the efforts of the French government, the "yellow vests" have also changed from the phenomenon of unorganized demonstrations in the past to the "new Paris Commune", an "armed organization" with specific beliefs and leadership systems, and have publicly stated that they have reached a cooperation with the AOA, which the National Security Service has labeled as the source of incitement to extremist terrorism, and will jointly fight for the future of France.

Although the move of the "New Paris Commune" [hereinafter referred to as the NPCR] has been unanimously condemned by the international community, there are more and more supporters of the NPCR in France, and although the initial NPCR has made public its intention to cooperate with the AOA, it has not really taken actions such as armed riots and terrorist attacks that endanger public safety, and the French government has not directly taken armed repression actions against the NPCR.

However, when the time came to 2035, the NPCR activities in France became more and more frequent, and this move quickly attracted the attention of the French government, and the National Security Service also reminded the French rulers to be wary of the NPCR.

But by the time the French government really sensed the NPCR's intentions, NPCR's supporters had infiltrated the French government and army, triggering a riot in the early hours of January 9, 2035.

The armed insurrection targeted French government forces and related dignitaries, and the armed men of the NPCR also fired shells at the Eiffel Tower during the insurrection, causing the Eiffel Tower to tilt fifteen degrees.

The riots in Paris, France, immediately attracted great attention from the international community, but because the NPCR riots were prepared, when the international community blamed the NPCR for its atrocities, the NPCR had already occupied many important cities including Paris, Nice, Marseille, and Bordeaux.

At the same time, near the end of the uprising and the complete defeat of the government forces, the NPCR also announced to the world that the operation of the "New Paris Commune" was an armed uprising of democracy, and that France would be reborn under the guidance of the "New Paris Commune".

……

After reading this report, Chu Yanran didn't have much feeling, after all, as early as 2030, someone had already pointed out that the NPCR would subvert the French regime, and now it is expected that there will be such an ending.

It's just that the ambiguous relationship between the NPCR and the AOA makes people wonder if the NPCR's ability to infiltrate the French government and military in just over a decade is directly related to the AOA.

Or rather...... Was the AOA behind the armed uprising?

With such an idea, Chu Yanran flipped down to the column commentary, but just as she was about to read it, a red box suddenly popped up.

Chu Yanran was stunned for a moment, thinking that it had been intercepted by the system, but after a closer look, she found that what appeared in this red frame was the same emblem as on Yin Peng's uniform before, and at the same time, there was a text prompt underneath.

You can enter the main core to further view the relevant investigation report...... Well?! Chu Yanran was stunned, and then overjoyed, it seems that although the National Security Department did not directly intervene in the internal affairs of France, it still investigated this incident.

After confirming the selection, the red box disappeared, and a detailed investigation report was presented in front of Chu Yanran.

Due to the sheer amount of content, the following are just a few of the main points.

First of all...... The NPCR was able to overthrow the French government so smoothly with the help of the AOA, but the source of many huge financial support from unknown sources has not yet been identified.

Secondly, after the success of the armed uprising, the NPCR did not change the internal members of the government, but removed the original government structure and let France enter a state of anarchy, but at the same time the NPCR stopped and punished all illegal acts.

After obtaining the internal architecture code comparable to a nuclear bomb launch lockbox, the central axis server established by the National Security Department somewhere in the Pacific Ocean encountered a non-stop attack from hundreds of millions of terminals in France, and the entire attack process lasted for ten days, and finally ended with the National Security Department forcibly disconnecting the network and shutting down the central axis server.

Other words...... The National Security Department was defeated......

However, Chu Yanran also noticed that although the investigation report clearly stated that the central axis server of the National Security Department was shut down, it did not say whether it was shut down after the server was breached, or before the breach.

There are too many intriguing points in this, and Chu Yanran feels that this investigation report still hides a lot of important information.

Therefore, after a cursory glance at this report, Chu Yanran retreated to the previous page and continued to look down.

"World Wealth Equalization, Financial Market Collapse"

Seeing such a title, Chu Yanran could roughly guess that there was no clear place in the previous report......

However, after reading the entire report, Chu Yanran was still shocked by the "wealth" equality incident that occurred in various economic powers in the world......

After the success of the uprising of the "New Paris Commune" in 2035, extremists and anarchists around the world began to stir up, and they all seemed to want to commit injustice under the banner of "democracy".

However, with the experience of France, governments began to be wary of the turmoil at home, so the "new Paris Commune" did not really lead to a round of insurrection that spread throughout the world.

Especially China, in this respect, China seems to have automatically isolated these unstable factors, whether it is people's life or social production is carried out step by step, without much impact, for the Chinese, the new Paris Commune's move to shock the world is just an after-dinner conversation.

But who would have thought that on May 1, 2037, an email sent from the Guoyun Securities Exchange Center in Shanghai, China, to Wall Street would detonate the "super bomb" of "world wealth equalization"!

The relevant details are that on May 1, 2037, which coincided with Labor Day, a computer located in room F3907 on the 39th floor of the office building of the Guoyun Securities Exchange Center in Shanghai, China, sent a "mysterious email" with no content to a computer in the office building of the Federal Reserve Bank on Wall Street in the United States.

When an employee of the Federal Reserve Bank opened the "mysterious email" without knowing the circumstances, a mysterious computer virus that had never been seen before spread rapidly.

According to a later investigation by the National Security Department, the virus also appeared on a private computer in Zimbabwe at around 1 p.m. on May 1.

But no one was aware of the virus at the time...... Until the end of May 1, 2037, almost everyone around the world has received a message on their mobile phones that reads, "From now on, silence for tens of seconds, a world of equal wealth is coming!" ”

What happened after that is not clearly stated in this account.

But summed up in one sentence, as the title says...... In 2037, when major economies are de-cashed, wealth is suddenly equalized.

Everyone's account balance is equalized in various currencies......

Some people were toiling the night before, and suddenly they became rich...... There are also people who are still talking about business with people one second, and become ordinary people the next second......

Financial systems around the world have all been paralyzed after this super-parity, and blackouts have erupted around the world.

Most people don't have time to count their balances before the city goes out......
