Chapter 14: Once Upon a Time on Earth
What David didn't know was that at this time, the earth, including the world set up in the basement of the Secretariat building of the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, New York, was surging with various undercurrents, and the great changes that were taking place were no less great than the great changes in the relationship between humans on Proxima Centauri B and between humans and the aborigines of Proxima B.
Between an archipelago more than 1,000 kilometers off the western coast of South America, there is a long private island of about 5 square kilometers, which is not too rocky, and its highest point is a large area of very flat sand and gravel, on which are built several small white buildings and a long dark gray airstrip.
On Christmas Day 2149, on the white sand beach on the east shore of the island, a thin white boy with tan hair between black and blonde, blue eyes and a hooked nose was lying shirtless on a white wooden chaise longue in a pair of blue beach pants, enjoying the warm but not dazzling afternoon sun.
More than 20 young women of all colors in colorful bikinis chased and frolicked in the shallows of the sea in front of him.
Three tall white men in gray pants and brown tactical shirts, wearing black ultraglasses, armed with black automatic rifles, stood majestically behind the boys, looking around like three hounds.
At this time, a white jet small business plane flew from the northeast direction, flew around the island for a week, and landed on the runway.
Fifteen minutes later, a short, fat, bald, middle-aged black man in a white suit, followed by a stunning young oriental woman carrying a black briefcase and dressed as a secretary, approached the boy.
"Aida, you're here." The boy said in his previous languid position, but his attention was already drawn to the black-haired Oriental woman with a ponytail by the smell of lilac perfume.
Aida wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her left hand, then leaned over and said, "Yes, respected boss." ”
The boy asked, "Did you bring the contract with those three guys from the Middle East?" ”
"Brought." After Aida finished speaking, she glanced at the tall female secretary beside her.
The Oriental woman in a gray professional skirt quickly took out a stack of documents from her briefcase and handed them to Aida, who then stretched out her hands and held the documents in front of the boy.
The boy got up and sat down on the edge of his chair, took the papers, and read them page by page, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.
After reading it, the boy returned the document to Aida: "One-third of the world's high-voltage power lines are already in our GLS (God's leade
Ship), and when Dhaka replaces the dozens of professional managers of nuclear power plants and hydropower plants in the Americas with our people, the first phase of the plan can be declared successful! ”
After receiving the document, Aida said: "Actually, I am better at armed attacks than business. ”
The boy waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, my Uncle Aida, that's what only barbarians of the last century would do, and what can be solved with money, don't use violence." ”
"But there is also a high risk that our plan will eventually lead to more violence," Aida said. ”
The boy said, "At least then we will be bystanders, and then the savior will appear." ”
When Aida heard the savior, she suddenly felt that her words just now were a bit against the boss, and hurriedly said, "Your plan is more perfect, and you don't have to expose our true intentions too soon, my dear master." ”
"Hahaha, that's nature." The boy laughed, stretched out his left hand to point at the girls playing on the beach, turned to the stunning oriental woman and said, "By the way, Adele Zhang, seeing such a wonderful blue sea and blue sky, don't you plan to change into a bikini and go down to show off your style like them?" ”
Adele pursed her lips and smiled without humility or arrogance, and said, "Mr. Adolf, my figure is not as good as those beauties around you, so it's better not to be ugly." ”
Aida looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Zhang has known to read since she was a child, and her clothes have always been very traditional, so I guess I haven't even worn a bikini." ”
Adele, who has a Ph.D. in economics from Princeton University and the daughter of an old friend of Aida, struggled to convince his old friend to let Adele follow him around in preparation for the next economic war.
Otherwise, with his war-only boss, how can he deal with the major chaebols freely?
Adolf stared at Adele's beautiful face for half a minute, then raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, what are you worried about, I know, I'm just joking, Ms. Zhang doesn't have to mind." With my current little boyhood, I can't do anything to you. You've been running in the Middle East for more than ten days and you look tired, so let's go down and rest first. ”
As the night deepened, in a luxurious suite on the third floor of a white villa on the island, Adele, who was wearing a bright red silk nightgown, looked more skinny than when she wore light makeup during the day, like a fairy in a painting.
And the slightly thin nightgown can't hide her devilish figure at all, looking at the exquisite curves, it is several times more perfect than the group of beauties on the beach during the day.
At this time, she was wearing long straight black hair, half-lying on a white wooden chaise longue in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking red wine while chatting with her boyfriend using a 3D projection keyboard and a 3D projection screen in front of her.
Although the current communication devices can be very small, and the concept of "mobile phone" has been blurred, using the traditional text message form to chat with friends is still the preferred way for many people.
Mobile phones and computers have been fully integrated in this era, and the "mobile phone" is a small computer, and all computers are also made as small or even smaller than the mobile phones of the last century, because scientists have already solved the problem of battery capacity and 3D projection, which can make computers the size of cigarette packs run for a long time without external power supply, and keyboards, mice, and monitors only need to be projected out in 3D.
In order to protect personal privacy in public places, 3D projection can choose open mode or privacy mode, in which no one around or opposite the computer operator can view the picture projected by his computer.
The text used by Adele to send text messages is Chinese, and the content is nothing more than some love words between lovers, but the number of words used in each of her text messages is actually a special password, and each text message represents a Chinese side.
So is it two or more text messages combined to form a Chinese text? That's too easy.
In fact, the code used by Adele is to dismantle and scramble the radicals of all Chinese characters in the entire information, and then rearrange the notes of a Hokkien children's song that both she and her "boyfriend" know, first reverse and then positive, constantly circulating, and finally translated into a Zhuang branch segment unique to a county in Guangxi, China, composed of Chinese text pronunciation.
For example..."change the beauty of the building, change the beauty of the building." "Do you know what this sentence means? It's just drinking and not driving, driving and not drinking. Laws and regulations to be followed by all mankind...
Zhuang language, similar to many ethnic languages, has dozens of branches, and may be separated by two villages on several hills, without Chinese and Mandarin, it is completely impossible to communicate smoothly.
And Adele has never been to Fujian and Guangxi in China, and is an authentic Chinese Shenyang girl.
As for the transmission of intelligence, sometimes, in the face of high technology, the more primitive and traditional things are, the less easy they are to be detected and cracked.
After chatting with her boyfriend late at night and saying goodnight to each other, Adele suddenly remembered a detail, according to intelligence, as long as Adolf sees a stunning woman, even if the body can't stand it, or the other party has no willingness and possibility to accept the package, he will invite the other party to dinner or play ball or something, in his words, if you can't eat, it's okay to see.
But the other party has never invited him to do anything leisure and entertainment together, even if it is to talk about work, Aida is also present, it is completely a simple fairy tale between the little sheep boss and the little white rabbit employees.
Is this a coincidence, or is it?
Forget it, the arrow is on the bow, either the other party dies, or we live, and there is no turning back.
Soon, a certain group that was also mysterious and had been secretly investigating GLS quickly continued to invest heavily in response to GLS's various economic warfare preludes, and began to spy on or protect many people.
Adele's above-mentioned secret organization, called Silver Shield, can be guessed from the name, it is a business organization jointly established by several international chaebols, and its mission and role are limited to defending the economic interests of the chaebols.
At the end of 2149, almost all the people on earth felt the negative effects of the economic downturn.
As early as the beginning of 2100, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) announced its dissolution due to the depletion of oil. Subsequently, other oil-producing countries also successively said that there was no oil to recover, and announced the complete termination of the crude oil extraction and refining industry.
Of course, the resulting oil crisis was foreseeable, and before that, countries had already vigorously developed new energy.
Some crops and animal fats can be refined into biofuel, but the cost is too high, so in addition to jets, rockets and some military equipment still use fuel, most civilian transportation uses electricity as the power source, electric vehicles, electric ships and even electric propeller aircraft have become the mainstream of civilian transportation.
As for the by-products of petroleum such as industrial lubricants and plastics, human beings can only make decisions from animals and plants.
Almost all industrial enterprises have already transformed, using electric energy equipment to carry out production activities in industrial fields such as steelmaking, textiles, and chemicals.
After the advent of the "quasi" all-electric era, Western countries led by a certain country forcibly bypassed the United Nations Security Council, and in the name of protecting the earth's ecological environment, banned non-nuclear countries from developing nuclear energy industries, including nuclear power plants and nuclear power engines, and strictly controlled the construction of wind and hydropower stations, and as a result, there have been several power wars.
