Chapter 115: The Golden Uprising
The newborn giant, standing in front of his old body, let out his first cry.
The London Stock Exchange, at the first time of the birth of the new currency, will inject the gold pound, which represents gold, into the capital market, and the dead will eventually be resurrected, and the ghosts of the old will be reborn. The dead knot of the global market, the first looper was untied, this is a victory for the old order, but also a victory for finance.
Chen Ang watched all this calmly, watched the delighted bankers rush to tell each other, looked at the dead giant, struggling to stand up again, and the representatives of all countries, except for the Soviet Union, showed a relieved smile, they stood up to meet the victory and welcome the dawn. The Soviet delegates stood on the airship, looking down at the celebratory scene.
The gold standard, this strong financial support, allowed the world financial system to play a role at one time.
"We seem to have won!" Scott said proudly.
He has reason to be proud, at the same time, in addition to the main venue in London, more than fifty secret sub-venues have been set up in various countries, this is a war between them and Skynet, at the moment when the financial system is established, any means have no effect, Apocalypse can physically eliminate the bankers, but he can never defeat finance.
Chen Ang sighed: "This is too early! If I were you, I'd wait a minute, or never say that. ”
There was a small sound in the distance, and Scott looked around, and in the direction of the North Sea oil fields, there was a blast of air, and flying insect swarms marched from the sky over the sea, and there was a fierce exchange of fire with the warships of various countries, and plasma and lasers, missiles and artillery, over the English Channel, intertwined into a line of death.
The Soviets, piloted in exoskeleton armor, swooped down from the airship and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the famine swarm, which laid a war base on the sea. Steel and electricity, lasers and energy, death and war, shattered armor, spilled carbon-based biochemicals, humanity resists stubbornly. Endless swarms.
The amazing evolutionary ability of the famine insect swarm easily gained the advantage of the battlefield, but in the face of the killer human beings who have always emerged one after another, and in the face of the tenacious coalition forces, they have always been suppressed in the sky over the strait.
"We may be defeated, but we will never fail! Apocalypse, you can defeat us for a while, but you will not win forever, we will use our lives. Protect the glory of mankind! The British ambassador, coming up the stairs, faced Chen Ang, he raised his head proudly.
Once again, the major corporations, the capital entities, took control of power, and they reunited with finance as their lifeblood, with a new monetary backing. Their system, the order they control. It seems to have come back to life, and even more powerful.
It was so powerful that the British Foreign Secretary issued his victory declaration in such a proud tone.
"Now, get out of the Empire! Apocalypse! ”
Chen Ang stood in the midst of the mutant squad, looking at the professor with a determined gaze. "Once the war starts, it will not end easily, the old ghost, in the face of the new order, his resurrection is very fragile. This is not the victory bell you want, but the death knell of the end times. ”
"But we will win in the end, and justice will win, I have no doubt about that." The professor said firmly.
Chen Ang looked at the eastern sky, the distorted gravitational pull on his body repelled all hostility, he stretched out his hand, and there was an iron badge lying in his palm, "Justice is not bound to win, I don't know, but backwardness and obsolescence are bound to fail, when new factors appear in this world, when more advanced productive forces appear in this world." Your end is at hand. ”
"The journey of mankind is more long-term, and the old order is just a stumbling block, how can the dead corpse be rejuvenated, dreaming of the glory of the past, will only be crushed by the wheel of history. You are not as strong as you imagined, and even very vulnerable, and the end of the old world has come in the face of new technology, new worlds, and the end of the old days! ”
"I have come to listen to the death knell of capital and witness your end."
A dazzling beam of light, piercing the clouds from the sky, shone on Chen Ang's hand, the badge floated up, shining brightly in the light, little by little, the unknown substance glowed with the color of metal, gradually engulfing the badge, and the light carried the powerful quality of distorting space, in the palm of Chen Ang's hand, expanding into matter.
The material wave shot from the moon to the earth London, in the sky above Chen Ang, unfolded, a huge saucer-shaped building, on Big Ben, expanded, a huge metal hollow wheel with a diameter of hundreds of meters, showing a three-layer structure, powerful energy converged in the center of the ring, distorting time and space.
Again, the bell of Big Ben rang slowly, and the professor with a solemn face, looking at the huge metal ring in the sky, "Gravitational well!" Watch out, meteorites are coming! ”
On the horizon, there was a bright streamer.
A huge fireball with a diameter of several kilometers pierced the sky, destroyed the clouds of London, the hazy sky dispersed, the sun sprinkled its light all over the fog, this dark city, dyed with golden brilliance, and in the city of London, bankers and financial experts nervously watched the fireball falling from the sky.
Their faces were full of fighting spirit, and death did not frighten them, but filled the whole city with the will to fight. A pillar of light pierced the heavens and the earth, and under the radiation of the pillar of light, the air condensed into a tough solid, and the movement of molecules was reduced to a minimum, stagnating the speed of the fireball.
The meteorite falling from the sky, in the face of the molecular stagnation effect brought by the pillar of light, slowed down little by little, and the lethality dropped rapidly, and the atmosphere was like a dense cushion, weakening the kinetic energy of the meteorite.
Molecular weapons, from the dimension of atomic weight, weaken kinetic energy.
"Human beings are not weak, and we will not make mistakes a second time!" Professor Justice said, he looked at Chen Ang, whose face was very calm, "Meteorites no longer pose a threat to us, humans have the ability to stop your atrocities, Apocalypse." Your weapon of doom has failed, and so has your plan. ”
"This is the weakening of Pai Huang's kinetic energy!" Chen Ang exclaimed: "It is amazing how far humanity has been able to penetrate the mass effect and kinetic energy effect to such a level in just a few months. ”
"But you're wrong! I have never solved problems with killing and destruction, and this time is the same, because I know that destruction will not achieve the purpose I want, even if I destroy something, my purpose is always to create! Chen Ang smiled, "This is true in the past, it is true now, and it is also true in the future!" ”
The gravitational well in the sky collapsed, reverted to a small badge, and lay in Chen Ang's palm, the British minister got up from the ground, he held the handle in embarrassment, and looked at Chen Ang, "You failed, your plot to destroy the world finally failed." Apocalypse, the dawn of a new world is just around the corner, take a look! We have never been defeated. ”
Chen Ang didn't answer him, but looked at the sky outside the window, the dazzling light, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, illuminated the whole city, Mr. Minister looked at the dazzling metal body in the sky, couldn't help but squint, looking at all this with difficulty.
A huge sphere several kilometers in diameter, suspended in mid-air, reflected a brilliant light that illuminated all directions.
The eyes of human beings struggled to adapt to this strong light, and at this time, Mr. Chancellor opened his mouth without the slightest grace, and anyone who paid attention to this place in the city of London looked at the sphere in the sky in shock, looking at the brilliant light, the golden flash, looking at this sun-like metal body.
Gold! It's all gold! Endless gold!
An asteroid made of gold, floating in the air of the city of London, the huge impact made everyone's heads blank, and the endless wealth, like a god, hooked everyone's souls.
Gold is both wealth and a weapon. An extremely terrible weapon.
A huge amount of gold can make or break a country, and in the same way, it can destroy a world, the world of finance. Wealth is a weapon, and gold, which measures wealth, has become a weapon in the financial system, a weapon that destroys itself.
The moment when human beings use gold as a hard currency, measure the value of labor, measure the value of money, and decide to be a general equivalent, gold has become a powerful pillar of the market, oil is the blood of industry, and gold is the backbone of finance.
Capitalism, standing on the edge of the cliff, was gently pushed by Chen Ang and fell into the bottomless abyss.
The new currency of the gold standard, from the moment it was established, was completely destroyed. Leaving no room for anything, the financial system was completely destroyed as if it had been wheeled by eighteen strong men, and then run over by eighteen heavy trucks! Before the dawn could bloom, it was cut off by a huge black hand.
At this moment, the general equivalent used by human beings to measure the value of labor was completely driven out of the stage of history by Chen Ang, and the financial system and capital system attached to the market finally sank into the abyss together with the market.
The Chancellor, from the roof of Big Ben, jumped down.
Capital's last attempt to save itself failed, and they could only leave with despair, and these last martyrs, with their blood, drew the end of an era, and after that, there was no longer any sense to save the market, and the thrilling leap from commodities to money became a moat.
Sometimes, meteorites bring more than just destruction, but wealth as well.
However, wealth can also destroy everything.
Gold, in special circumstances, is more terrible than Skynet.
From the streets to the sea, from London to the English Channel, the corpses of bankers are floating. Today, the skies of London have been washed by the blood of the bourgeoisie, and the professor has finally failed to fulfill his promise, he cannot protect the fragile order, and the ghosts of the old times are in the sun, and they are gone.
Chen Ang listened attentively and could hear the footsteps of the new era coming.
It is the sound of steel, science, energy, and the sea of stars, the voice of the new relations of production, the promotion of social development, and the realization of leaps. That is the footsteps of communism, that is the sound of the system and centralization, madness and struggle.
Once again, the world stands at a crossroads, and humanity faces challenges and choices. (To be continued......)
