Chapter 142: Hearings
Second New York, East of Manhattan, United Nations Headquarters Building.
As the midday bell rings, a small oval office closes its door in the building, the center of human civilization.
The heads of the various departments of the Planetary Defense Committee are behind the door, holding a regular meeting.
It is said that the smaller the scale, the smaller the number of people, and the shorter the time, the more important the resolution to be adopted at the meeting.
Leon thinks this statement is quite right.
At this moment, he was sitting at the back of the conference table, listening to the presentations made by the other participants.
Although the Planetary Defense Council maintains close ties with the school city, there are some extremely sensitive contents, which are best dictated in person, without going through the carrier of electronic documents.
In order to prevent Zhizi from tampering with the content of the electronic document itself and causing communication errors.
The heads of various departments of the Planetary Defense Committee who participated in the meeting were basically representatives of the major countries, symbolizing the will of the major powers.
Nick Fury, Commander of the Planetary Defense Fleet, Head of the Planetary Defense Platform in Low Earth Orbit, Liaison and Communications Officer for Extraterrestrial Civilizations.....
Each of these elites is a talent who picks one or even one in 100 million, relying on talent, hard work, and luck from thousands of troops, all the way through the test, and finally sits in the current position, holding heavy power, and deciding the fate of the entire human race.
And they looked a little nervous in front of Li Ang.
Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., fiddled with his blindfold a little and said, ".... After fully receiving the scientific and technological gifts of the Zetarians, the Planetary Defense Alliance has launched the second phase of the Star Fleet construction plan.
The original military factories of various countries began to build anti-gravity military starships in full swing,
A total of more than 1,000 Nantes Chris-class, Millennium Falcon-class, and Infiltration-class fighters will be delivered in the next quarter.
More than 1,500 Defender-class, Coruscant-class, Sentinel-class cruisers will be delivered in three quarters,
More than 400 Victory-class, Hunter-class, Imperial-class, and Eclipse-class heavy cruisers will be delivered within five quarters. ”
The words of the commander-in-chief of the planetary defense fleet made the faces of the participants show a relaxed look,
In the face of the threat of racial extinction, human civilization was finally able to put aside controversy for a while, unite and cooperate, and burst out with incredible productivity.
In particular, the technology "donated free of charge" by the Zitari people has allowed the earth civilization to complete a great stride-after all, the former is a race that has been rampant for many years in the cruel universe like a dark forest, and has enough technological accumulation.
The black humor is that the relationship between the Zetarians and the people of the earth is now like that of the Soviet Union woolly bear supporting the rabbit a few decades ago - the Zetari expert group will visit the universities and factories of the earth to guide the people of the earth to develop technology and build industry.
Finally, finally, human civilization can withdraw from the financial game of 0 and 1 and devote itself to the construction of big industry and big agriculture, as it did during the Cold War.
The manufacturing industry is shining again, and countless new factories have been established - this manufacturing revolution not only relies on the demographic dividend, but also relies on the intelligent technology of artificial intelligence.
Whoever designs intelligent machinery more rationally and artificial intelligence is more efficient and advanced will have more productivity.
In this process, a great scientist will be able to overcome a thousand or even 10,000 qualified workers, and even the concept of "worker" will be banned by more hard-working intelligent machines in the near future.
Hundreds of millions of workers, "collective unemployment" has never been so close, and this is the reality of the new industrial revolution.
Of course, the current earth is far from being a "wave of hundreds of millions of workers laid off", and it needs to survive the invasion of alien civilizations before it is qualified to talk about the "future".
After Nick Fury finished his report, he didn't rush to sit down, but glanced at Leon who was sitting in his seat, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency Leon, I don't know where the process of building a starship has come over there in the school city?" ”
Leon was not a member of the Planetary Defense Committee, he only sat in the regular meeting as an advisor, but no one dared to fool this Excellency as an observer.
You know, as the cooperation between the Earth and the Zetari civilization continues to deepen, there are many inside stories about Leon and the school city, and they have also spread to various major powers through the platform of the Zetari people.
In terms of individual strength, the extraordinary power hidden by each country may not be able to hurt Li Ang at all, even if it is a nuclear bomb in the face, it is estimated that it will only be a breeze for Li Ang;
In terms of the scale of power, the school city with a mechanical octopus and an artificial intelligence network can burst out with a productivity comparable to the sum of other humans on the entire planet;
In fact, all the members of the Planetary Defense Committee here have discussed privately more than once why Leon does not call himself an "emperor" or some other dictator.
A team of many psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists failed to analyze the reason, and in the end they could only blame all this on "Leon's life form and personal needs, which have exceeded the needs of ordinary human beings." ”
Therefore, for this "Li Shengren", the Planetary Defense Committee can only adopt a cautious, cautious and cautious attitude to deal with it.
As the commander-in-chief of the planetary defense fleet, Nick Fury asked politely, and Leon's attitude was quite approachable, and he replied with a smile: "The transport ship that the school city put on Mars has landed smoothly three Earth months ago and has automatically expanded into a Mars base.
The mechanical octopus carried on the transport ship will gradually hollow out the geological layer of Mars in accordance with the principle of self-design and self-replication.
Relying on all kinds of mineral deposits in the rock formations, build an arsenal deep underground on Mars, and build a steady stream of various starships.
It's just that the scale of the Mars fleet is quite large, and there are not enough professional navies on the earth today to supplement the positions required by the Mars fleet.
So the command of the fleet, I propose to hand over to the artificial intelligence of the school city.
Who is for and who is against? ”
Hearing this, many members of the Planetary Defense Committee couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say, and the room was silent for a while, staring at the small eyes in a daze.
After a while, the Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet, His Excellency Nick Fury, snorted, his black face crumpled, and he patted Leon's ass with some flattery, and the other participants efficiently approved Leon's proposal.
There is no opposition, all in favor, very good, very good.
The entire earth, the entire human race, desperately exerted all their energy to barely assemble a full Star Sea fleet;
And the Mars base in the school city,To put it mildly, it took three months to build a ship that is too large to be manually maneuvered.。
If we talk about the Earth Fleet, it is a fully trained space navy soldier waiting for the ship to be built and boarding the ship to command - this is "people waiting for the ship"
Then the school city,It's simply "boat waiting for people"!
The productivity gap between the two can probably be compared to the Gambia and China......
