6.7 Why New York? above
"Helium 3, of course. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Faced with Wu Chen and Su Yueming's inquiries, Sam and Joshua gave the same answer.
Sam said in a sincere tone: "Wu Chen, the moon is the closest celestial body to us, and helium-3 is the closest clean nuclear material to us. Cleanliness is too important for the Earth, which is heavily polluted by conversion rays. I heard that you have a helium-3 supply agreement with China, so ......"
Wu Chen nodded: "I understand." ”
Sam was young after all, so he asked directly: "So, Wu Chen, will you agree?" ”
"Of course." Wu Chen smiled and nodded: "I can provide 30% of the market share." ”
At the same time, Joshua also learned the same answer from Su Yueming's mouth.
"How is it only 30%?" Joshua couldn't help but complain: "I've heard that you're selling up to 50% of the shares to China. ”
"Joshua, preferred, China is my homeland and dust." Su Yueming's beautiful eyes were horizontal: "Besides, in terms of per capita volume, your share is far greater than that of China." Don't forget, our population is 4.5 times your size. ”
"That being said......" Joshua couldn't argue.
"30% is our bottom line. It couldn't be any higher. Su Yueming shook her head categorically.
"Okay." Joshua didn't really care too much about the share. What he cares about is how much his KSI can get in the 30% share!
"Discuss this yourself." Su Yueming smiled: "Isn't your main business a metaball?" Why do you want to get a piece of the pie in the field of new energy? ”
"Mr. Su, no one will be disgusted with money." Joshua retorted with reason.
"That's right." In business. Su Yueming expressed his understanding: "I can list KSI as one of the five guests of honor in the negotiation, and your share will naturally not be less." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Joshua raised his glass excitedly.
Su Yueming's purpose in feasting Joshua was not limited to that. She had more important things to talk about.
"Joshua, how's things going in Manhattan?"
As if knowing that Su Yueming would mention this, Joshua immediately suppressed his smile: "The progress is very slow. ”
"Oh?" Su Yueming's expression showed that she was not satisfied with this answer.
"Mr. Su, Manhattan is every inch of land, you know this. While there are often properties for sale in Manhattan, they are scattered. It is very difficult to acquire an entire building at once. There are many factors that go into this, and it's not all about money. Seeing that Su Yueming was silent, Joshua said again: "Moreover, after the previous alien invasions, whether it is psychological or political factors, the U.S. government and Americans regard Manhattan Island as a core asset, and even a symbol with national sentiments. Easily will not be resold. ”
"So that's ......," Su Yueming understood.
Because of the integration of the plot, New York, which is dancing in a thousand years of time and space, has experienced too many invasions, the city has been ravaged repeatedly, and various postures have been destroyed in the war. Think about how many of the final battles of the plot world were fought in New York. When Transformers was dark in March, the Battle of New York of the Avengers, the fuse of the Bat Super War, was also the destruction of New York......
According to authoritative statistics, the city that has been destroyed the most times in the movie is New York.
Why New York?
Because New York is the largest city in the United States and one of the largest metropolises in the world. Not so long ago, it was the world's financial hub, with countless skyscrapers and museums, and it became indisputably a kind of embodiment and symbol of globalization and modernization. Even cosmopolitan cities such as London or Paris do not possess this typical status, either functionally or visually. Destroying New York on screen thousands of times has the sensational and shocking effect of destroying other cities that no other city has. In addition, New York is also an important cultural center in the capital world, dominating popular culture in the United States and even the world, and as long as this hegemony remains, New York will always be the number one target of the screen disaster.
"For two centuries, the American public has been obsessed with the fantasy of destroying New York. The New York City of pop culture was destroyed in a variety of ways, shocking in all sorts of ways: earthquakes, fires, floods, meteors, comets, Martians, glaciers, ghosts, atomic bombs, class struggle, terrorism, foreign invasions, laser beams from spaceships, torpedoes from airships, missiles from battleships, apes, wolves, dinosaurs, environmental degradation, nuclear fallout, and more.
Poor New York City, in the midst of paintings, comics, literature, photography, postcards, anime, movies, video games, and other media, has been blown to pieces, swallowed by the sea, and toppled by monsters again and again. The destruction of New York City is so fascinating that Max Page calls it 'catastrophic erotica', a lustful obsession with death, chaos, and destruction. (From Max Page, The End of the City: Two Centuries of Fantasy, Fear, and Premonition of New York's Destruction).
Just as in the period after 911, there were not many movies that showed the destruction of New York with great fanfare. The number of images of bloody scenes and horrific situations has also been greatly reduced. The self-protection of the people of the United States, who have experienced too much destruction, began to spread. As a result, every building that towers over the island of Manhattan has become sacrosanct.
In addition, with the rise of the new Hong Kong, the center of the world has shifted from Manhattan Island to the new Hong Kong Island, and the loss of absolute status has made this protective mentality spread rapidly. Even Su Yueming's Jianneng Group, whose influence has spread all over the world, could not succeed in acquiring a towering building in Manhattan.
"Joshua, Wu Chen wants to transform Manhattan into the new Hong Kong it is today. Isn't that tempting enough? ”
Joshua shook his head bitterly: "Mr. Su, you don't know about Americans. ”
In order to achieve his goal of privatizing the plot world of "Flurry of Dancing Millennium", Wu Chen needs to build 29 ultra-modern metropolises like New Hong Kong around the world. New York, with its large post-war population, was an obvious target.
One of the more important reasons is that the dense crowd of buildings that towers over Manhattan is perfect for detonating a seed bomb. The pre-programmed program will transform the entire city into what Wu Chen wants in a very short period of time.
Just as he did when he built the moon base.
Now it seems that the difficulties are great. The biggest obstacle here is people. In fact, of all the complex problems, it is people who are the most difficult to solve. It was an impossible task to get rid of the world's first-class New York residents living in the glory of the empire.
After the dinner, Su Yueming immediately returned to his president's office and fed back what he learned from Joshua to Ennayi in the Lord's Mansion.
Ennayi replied that she would see if she could make a breakthrough in the negotiations with the North American delegation.
Why New York?
The reason is simple.
New York, like New Hong Kong, is also a rare place where time and space meet. There aren't too many superheroes and super organizations settled in New York.
The Fantastic Four live in the Buster Building, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live in the sewers of New York, Spider-Man lives in Queens, New York, the Hellboy in a military base, Daredevil's Hell's Kitchen for leveling up, Xavier's Genius Youth School where the X-Men hide, and the Stark Building for the Avengers, and the Planet Daily Building where Superman works.
How did you let Wu Chen choose New York!
Seeing Sam away, Wu Chen couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable emotion.
Wu Chen thought of many ways to intervene in the Marvel or DC universe. However, he never thought that he would intervene in such a high-end atmosphere.
That's right, just because of helium-3.
Because he mastered helium 3, which was the most important in the early stage of the interstellar voyage, he became the object of competition all over the world. All of a sudden, he was pushed to the center of the world stage.
Why is helium-3 important?
Think of today's oil. Whether it was the early Gulf War, the global counter-terrorism in the post-911 era, or the Arab Spring that spread throughout the Middle East, to put it bluntly, it was all about oil. Otherwise, the United States would not have placed 70% of its main fleet in the Persian Gulf for a long time.
The invasion of aliens has also improved the technological line of human beings in disguise. Thus, on the eve of this interstellar voyage, oil has lost its dominant role in the world's energy structure. Instead, it is capable of generating clean nuclear energy that will power the spacecraft. As a result, the moon, which is closest to the earth, and the abundant helium-3 stored on the moon, have become the new energy sources that mankind urgently needs.
However, this moon, which is so important to mankind, has been completely occupied by Wu Chen.
Looking up at the starry sky, the starry sky and the brilliant Milky Way are not the most beautiful scenery. The brightly lit moon is the man-made miracle of the new era. Looking up at the moon is like looking at the Earth from space. Brilliant and splendid.
Wu Chen sometimes asks, why did he monopolize the moon?
Now that I think about it, it seems that in the dark, there is a magical behind-the-scenes promoter who pushed him to the forefront little by little (author: cough cough!). )。
The first time he went to the moon, he was invited by Joshua, the president of KSI, to hire his white swan and fly to the moon like a busy vegetable market.
As the Transformers plot line advances rapidly, Wu Chen, who has become the new lord of Hong Kong, finds that he must build a starship base on the far side of the moon as a bridgehead to resist the invasion of the five-faced monster. As the Emperor of the Universe recovered and began to devour the moon to regain his strength, Wu Chen followed up and pierced the moon with the Xingchen Sword......
Thus occupying the Death Star located in the center of the moon, which houses the five-faced monster biochemical superbrain. And because the moon has become another time and space intersection in the plot world of "Randance Millennium", refugees from the Randance millennium fusion world have fled to the moon, so Wu Chen began to build the moon on a large scale.
Use craters and moon craters as bases, cover energy membranes, and build settlements. The vigorous development of the moon was launched.
Until the entire moon was occupied.
When the remaining countries and organizations cleared the residual poison caused by the alien invasion and sorted out the precious technology left by the aliens, they suddenly realized the huge value of helium-3.
Looking up at the Star Sword inserted in the moon, everyone understood why the new Hong Kong had become the center of the world.
Alas, this is fate.
It became impossible to fight with Wu Chen.
According to the United Nations Outer Space Treaty, the Moon, like the international waters of the Earth, is not subject to the jurisdiction of any country.
Thus, existence is the truth.
Since the moon does not belong to anyone's territory, Wu Chen's occupation is completely reasonable and legitimate.
Armed occupation?
All the conspirators stared at the moon fish balls hanging high above their heads with great disgust......
Helium-3, which controls the entire moon, is equivalent to choking the lifeblood of all mankind. Coupled with the super strength of New Hong Kong itself, Wu Chen has become a truly pivotal figure. It is also the focus of the attention of the whole world during this time.
Because only he has helium-3.
It's not the same as oil. In fact, oil is a global resource. In addition to the Persian Gulf, other parts of the world are also rich in oil. The United States is a major oil and gas resource. Shale oil and gas extraction, and vicious competition with OPEC, have pulled down oil prices, nearly starving polar bears to death.
However, helium-3 is different. Turning over the entire earth, the reserves of helium-3 are only a dozen tons. The helium-3 contained on the moon is optimistically estimated to be as high as 5 million tons! If calculated according to the total energy consumption of human beings at present, helium-3 on the moon alone is enough for human use for tens of thousands of years!
Of course, this is an optimistic estimate that has not entered the Age of Interstellar Discovery. Once the starships are manufactured in large quantities, the consumption of helium-3 will be staggering. However, even so, according to the fuzzy calculations of the Ssacrith Hostess, it is enough for humans to use it for hundreds of years.
What is the concept of hundreds of years?
Hundreds of years is enough for humans to scatter the seeds of life all over the solar system and even spread to the galaxy!
It's hard to get started.
Perhaps, as Gloria said, there is a ready-made source of antimatter in the Milky Way. Just scoop a scoop when you need it. However, before the birth of the antimatter spacecraft, in the anchoring stage of the interstellar voyage, it is absolutely inseparable from the helium-3, which is the closest to the earth!
The meeting with the North American delegation was held as scheduled in the hall of the Castle of the Lords.
Maybe it's because they have learned Wu Chen's thoughts from Sister Widow and Wonder Woman, so from beginning to end, Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are very calm. Wu Chen's adventures caused him to miss key plots such as the Avengers and the Bat Super War. The only consolation is that the plot line of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is still in his hands. Because the plot line of reversing the future, there is an extension to the not-so-distant future. At that time, the world has been destroyed by a new generation of Sentinel robots. Not just mutants, but even humans with mutant genes were captured or exterminated. The whole world is eerie and in ruins. The last mutants fled in all directions, hiding from the sentinels. In the end, he had to flee to an ancient Chinese tomb. The final Jedi counterattack was launched.
Therefore, judging from the entire plot line, Wu Chen needs to experience a period of time when the world was destroyed by sentinels from this moment onwards, and then he can reverse the future.
The 500 Sentinel Robots owned by Wu Chen are not yet in the distant future, and they have almost destroyed the most advanced X Sentinels of the entire earth.
However, how to say. Fate is so wonderful.
The first demigod-level sentinel robot named himself Gilgamesh, the biblical Nimrod. The Bible calls Nimrod the great-grandson of Noah, "the head of all the heroes of the earth," "a valiant hunter before Jehovah," and indicates that he was the first founder after the Flood.
The female sentinel named herself Gilgamesh, apparently implying that she was also the head of all sentinels, a valiant hunter. As everyone knows, in the comics, the sentinel who is so powerful that it almost wiped out the mutants is the Ninglu-level sentinel.
The sentinels in the movie are biased towards Ninglu-level sentinels, and they are much stronger than Ninglu-level sentinels. Known as the X Sentinel.
With the defense of Hong Kong during the war, 500 sentries were captured by Wu Chen, and the ghost made a god to transform into Ninglu-level sentinels. Does it mean that there is a disagreement with the future X Sentinel? also deflected the plot line?
We'll soon find out what happened.
After sending off the North American delegation, Wu Chen will go to New York with Professor X. (To be continued.) )
