Chapter 121: Transition
In the autumn of 2022, the warm sun is shining on the earth, and because of the arrival of an autumn platform, the entire East China region is in a rainy situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info when
On both sides of the street, the tall magnolia is like a sturdy wrestler firmly holding up a cloudy sky, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus wafts out of nowhere, overflowing the streets and alleys of the city.
Zhou Chen took Yang Xi's hand and walked on the street, taking advantage of the October long holiday, the two left behind the troubles of the world and returned to their hometown Taizhou.
After lunch with the family, the two went out and wandered the half-wet street.
In the past five years, the hometown has changed a lot, the concrete road has become an asphalt asphalt road, and it is dripping after the rain, and the breeze is slightly cool.
"Xiao Chen, help me think of a way, my grandson has been not fond of studying recently, and he knows how to play all day long!" When passing by a small shop, the owner of the shop, Old Man Sun, called out to Zhou Chen and them.
Zhou Chen's current name is resounding all over the world, and news about him will appear on TV every three or five times.
In the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, the children of the Zhou family are promising, and it is difficult for others to see the mayor, and he doesn't want to talk about the mayor, but it is common to meet and talk about national leaders.
If this is placed in ancient times, it is Wenqu Xing descending to earth!
Don't talk about Old Man Sun, which of the old people who live nearby doesn't regard Zhou Chen as a consulting object to solve "incurable diseases"? It's as if he can solve any problem.
Listening to Old Man Sun's babbling in pieces, Zhou Chen only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
Old man Sun's grandson Zhou Chen also knew it, it was simply tired of studying...... And the little fat baby is very skinny, and Zhou Chen has nothing to do about being tired of studying, his skin is itchy, and he owes a beating.
But it's not good to say this directly to Old Man Sun, he thought about it and had to persuade patiently and whispered: "Grandpa Sun, don't worry, Xiaopang is still young and ignorant, and he will slowly get better in the future." ā
"Well, I hope so. Little fat kid, why isn't he as obedient as you......" It seemed that Zhou Chen's mood improved a lot after hearing this, Old Man Sun sighed.
Zhou Chen was silent, said goodbye to Old Man Sun, and walked not two steps, Yang Xi's eyes flickered, and he said brightly: "Luo Luo chatted with me just now, I heard that she meant to go to the research institute of the Earth Residency......"
"To the institute?" Zhou Chen was a little surprised, Zhou Luo graduated from school a year ago, majoring in biotechnology like Yang Xi, and stayed in school directly for a year after graduation, I heard that she meant to go to the earth station?
A few years ago, Zhou Chen had already told his family about the Earth Fleet when he was growing his wings, but Zhou Luo went to the research institute of the Earth Residency, was it a whim, or did he really make up his mind to endure that kind of boredom?
"She's serious?"
"Hmm!" Yang Xi nodded, "It seems that she wants to do a career!" ā
"This little girl!" Zhou Chen smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Okay, since she wants to go, let's go to the Institute of Life Sciences, just go over and be with you!" ā
Now Yang Xi is no longer the simple-minded female college student at the beginning, as the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, Yang Xi's professional level has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and he is already the person in charge of a project in the research institute.
There are more than a dozen people under his hands, including Concubine Hua and Shen Min!
At the Southwest Institute of Physics, a month has passed since the fusion ignition test.
This month, the operation of the CFTER reactor was normal, and the tokamak magnetic ring withstood the test of strong current, and the strong magnetic field confined the high-speed plasma with a temperature of up to 500 million degrees firmly fixed in the reaction chamber, and then a continuous fusion reaction occurred, continuously releasing huge energy inside the nucleon to the outside world.
From ignition to the present, the CFTER reactor has maintained an outward output of 1,800 megawatts, deducting the 15 megawatts required to maintain the operation of the reactor, and the constant directional outward output of 1,785 megawatts, which perfectly meets the design requirements.
The experimenters kept a detailed record of the monitoring data for each time period, and after the one-month observation period, the success was quickly reported to the higher-level desks.
Tang Ansong was very happy after receiving the news, and signed a commendation order for all scientific researchers with a stroke of his pen.
Tang Ansong then held a meeting with other high-level officials, and the executive order requiring the state power department to connect power generation to the grid was immediately conveyed to the past, and the state power department did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and immediately dispatched strong power experts to the location of the reactor to arrange the power grid connection.
Unlike the smooth sailing of the fusion reactor, the international financial market has been full of rumors and sorrows in the past month!
Unlike five years ago, when only the sound of the financial market was heard and no one was heard, and the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, this time the financial market has suffered a real impact!
After a month, the global financial sector has not stopped, either the stock index here has fallen sharply, or the trading there is weak.
Like a frail and sickly old man, he is on the verge of dying.
The smashing phenomenon that occurred a month ago is still an indelible shadow in the hearts of many traders, and the stock market crash, the market value of the U.S. stock market evaporated by 5 trillion at once, and a full 20% of the market value disappeared out of thin air in less than a week.
Counting the bumps and bumps in the next three weeks, the total market value of the United States has evaporated by 40%, or about ten trillion dollars!
At the same time, the various derivatives markets have been hit even harder, with instantaneous defaults reaching $2 trillion, accounting for 8.5% of total derivatives in the United States and 3% of the global derivatives market.
What is worse is not the huge default itself, but the very bad market expectations that this incident has brought to the derivatives market.
Over the course of a month, economists have been shocked by the sluggishness of the derivatives market, and the $700 trillion virtual economy on the shoulders of the United States is also crumbling, with the dollar depreciating sharply and the assets of customers around the world holding dollars shrinking rapidly.
Like the fall of the first domino in a domino, the subsequent ripple effects have taught the international financial market that it cannot continue to bear.
Is it collapsing, collapsing, or collapsing! There seems to be no other way to go.
"In the past, our mechanism was fundamentally wrong, and the neoliberal economy, while enriching the capitalists, also dragged our country into the abyss, and our people had to pay for the stupid economic model......"
"Change! We can't reshape our economy without change, we can't save our country! ā
In a public address at the White House, Stanley unequivocally raised the banner of change.
At the critical moment, Stanley, with the strong support of the governments of China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany and other countries, brazenly launched the operation of nationalizing the Federal Reserve, thus completely tearing his face with the bankers.
At this time, the debt-ridden bankers were clearly no match for state power, and the congressional quarrels were to no avail, and finally Stanley forced the nationalization bill to pass, finally snatching the Federal Reserve, the "central bank", which was not a state institution, from the hands of private bankers and becoming one of the government agencies.
After the nationalization of the Federal Reserve, Stanley, representing the United States, gathered in Beijing with the leaders of China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries to begin negotiations on a unified banking regulator.
Finally, a month and a half after the stock market crash, feeling that the current financial policy was not suitable for the development of globalization, various countries officially announced the establishment of the United Nations Financial Policy Center in Beijing to unify currency settlement and plan to issue a virtual currency for global use - the Earth Dollar on the basis of the existing exchange rate of each country's currency.
From the moment of the emergence of the Earth Dollar, the floating mechanism of the world's currencies was abolished, directly locked with the Earth Dollar, and the gradual conversion of national currencies to the Earth Dollar was stipulated in the next five years.
The international community has never had morality at all, and the introduction of this policy has certainly protected the interests of some countries, but it has inevitably harmed the interests of some other countries, but under the impetus of the powerful countries, the protests of small countries can only sink into the sea in the end, and have no effect at all.
In November 2022, Gu Qiushi and Wu Zhongping officially took over.
Earth Fleet.
A mobilization meeting is also being held, and Zhou Chen, who is dressed in the captain's uniform, is full of majesty, and his handsome face is full of the perseverance of the superiors.
After all these years of development, the appearance of the Earth Fleet has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the beginning, and the members of the Academy of Sciences and the Social Academy have reached 60,000 and 360,000 respectively, which is already a huge organization with a complete organizational system.
The House of Society is still located on Earth, but more than 20,000 of them have already learned about the Earth Fleet, and as the backbone of the House of Society, fifteen of them form a temporary committee of the House of Society, which is responsible for the daily work of the House of Society.
At present, the responsibilities of the Social Academy are mainly divided into two parts, one is to train excellent management personnel and provide reserve management cadres for the socialization of the Earth Fleet in the future; The other is commercial behavior, more than 300,000 people under the Social Yuan, except for 60,000 reserve management cadres, the remaining 300,000 are good hands in the business world!
They manage tens of thousands of enterprises and factories under the Social Academy, and although these companies may not be as large as the stellar series of companies directly under Zhou Chen, they also firmly grasp the lifeblood of the earth's economy.
In the past five years, with the help of technology ahead of the earth, these tens of thousands of companies have continued to occupy positions in the process of innovation, and it is no exaggeration to say that one-tenth of the global economy has been controlled by the House of Social Sciences.
In this round of monetary integration, the Social Yuan has once again struck out and continuously transfused blood to the real economy, and at the same time, its huge profits have also flowed back to the domestic and foreign markets, and have begun to provide strong support for the mergers and acquisitions of external companies.
On the side of the Academy of Sciences, 60,000 scientific researchers will cooperate with the actions of the Academy of Social Sciences and send some "successful" scientists back to Earth.
In the next ten or twenty years, the focus of the Academy of Sciences will gradually change from absorbing the scientific and technological achievements of the Austrian civilization behind closed doors to a model that takes into account the improvement of the overall scientific and technological level of the earth.
