Chapter 19: The Artificial Sun

With the success of the "Shadow 4" experiment, the computer people stepped up their propaganda offensive.

Through various media, they introduced people to the powerful power of "Shadow 4", and with its powerful energy support, everyone will have a more beautiful, comfortable and fast MIMI flying car.

More machine servants can be used in the home, more household appliances can be owned, and the country can build more theaters, social bars, and so on.

In short, with the solution of the power problem, the service ability of AI computer people will be more powerful, and the living standard of human beings will be improved by leaps and bounds, and the comfort level will be further expanded.

President Ian called the Minister of Finance, Dugu, and asked Dugu to issue a notice in the name of the Ministry of Finance:

"Despite the success of the artificial sun experiment, the government is ready to postpone the construction of the artificial sun for two years due to the country's current limited financial resources.

The state will do its best to raise funds for these two years, and then implement the plan for the construction of an artificial solar entity. ”

The day after the announcement, hundreds of people gathered around the president's compound, shouting slogans demanding the immediate construction of an artificial sun against the government's inaction.

More than 100 people marched to the gate of the Ministry of Finance and threw rotten leaves, tomatoes, and rotten eggs into the courtyard to express their dissatisfaction.

There are also many pragmatic people who think that the state may be really financially tight and cannot afford to come up with this huge construction fund, so some groups have spontaneously organized themselves and began to raise donations from the people, preparing to raise some funds to help the country.

Some companies have also taken action to take out part of their R&D funds and put money into their fundraising accounts.

Even many computer people spontaneously volunteered in exchange for a small amount of labor fees and sent them to fundraising accounts.

It's a national carnival, and whenever you get together, whether it's at a house dance party or a street bar, the topic of conversation is always artificial sun.

"With the artificial sun, I'm ready to change to a bigger and wider flame MIMI car."

"I'm going to replace my old computer servant, he's too slow."

"When I save enough money, I'm going to go around the space station and take a space shuttle."

"Don't tell others, I'm ready to change my wife, the 5.1 model that just came out, hehe! She's so cute! ”

Everyone has a new dream, everyone has a new vision and expectation for the future, just waiting for the day when the artificial sun is built.

The construction project was delayed for only one year, and it had to be started, and the private sector had already raised one-third of the construction funds.

In the past year, the Ministry of Astronautics, controlled by computer people, has sent a space shuttle to the dark star Butany to retrieve dark matter, which is 500 kilograms; Tons of deuterium gas were then extracted from the ocean; The basic raw materials are also prepared.

The official artificial sun was named "Vostok 1" and was built over a period of eight years.

Why is it set at 8 years, because after 8 years there happens to be a solar eclipse.

The Futie people hope to dedicate the first light emitted by the "Dongfang No. 1" to the Red Iron God Tree and the Futie God Statue.

As the saying goes: plans can't keep up with changes.

Futieren underestimated the strong organization and planning ability of the computer people, and the 8-year construction cycle was completed in only 5 years under the full promotion of the computer people around the clock.

Only a small number of people insisted that they should wait until the day of the eclipse; But the vast majority of people can't wait, and they demand that the operation of the artificial sun begin immediately.

The launch ceremony was chosen on the first day of the year, an hour before dawn.

In the hazy night, President Yi'an delivered a short but enthusiastic speech, thanking everyone for their efforts to build an artificial sun!

Then he personally pressed the button, and the artificial sun in the sky was activated, this device with a track height of 200 kilometers, which is usually not visible, and only when it is running, you can feel its existence.

The air began to vibrate slightly, followed by the sound of "zizi", and a small dark red appeared in the air, which gradually turned light red, and then purple and white.

Finally, with a "bang", a round of dazzling white light spread out, and the night sky of the city instantly turned into day, and at this time, the sun in the east had not yet shown its head.

The artificial sun "Vostok 1" was successfully launched.

A beam of directional transmission of powerful microwaves, in a wireless way, transmits the current to the ground substation, and then the substation converts the electric energy into a strong magnetic field and releases it to the sky above the city, and all kinds of electricity terminals in the city are available.

Tens of thousands of people who attended the ceremony erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, and they danced and sang around the stone iron mountain and the altar, and the celebration lasted for a whole month.

In the year after the artificial sun was built, the country gave priority to the development of national defense and military technology, driven by computer people.

Most of the people who support the iron are no longer in the army, and the source of soldiers is insufficient, so they have to organize more computer people and enrich the army.

Of course, it is true that human life has improved more, and the people are very satisfied with the comfort of the moment.

The Human Security Commission, an organization independent of the government, usually acts as an advisory group for national think tanks.

One day at the end of the year, Hainer, the commission's chief clerk, approached the president and expressed his concern about the rapid development of computer people.

President Ian also agrees with Haina.

"Heina, what do you think we should do?"

"President, in my opinion, we should immediately act and organize a military exercise."

"What is the purpose?"

"Take the opportunity to gain insight into the development intentions of computer people and conduct military training for our people to respond to emergencies."

President Yi'an agreed to Haina's suggestion, and immediately quietly summoned several commanders of the military department to the underground secret room for a meeting.

This secret room, which is dozens of meters underground, is a room with the highest security level, except for the copper walls around it, there is a table and a few chairs.

There is no furniture, no electrical appliances, no electricity, and the lighting is still made of ancient candles.

There was no paper, no pen, and everything was just verbal communication and communication.

The meeting lasted only ten minutes before it ended.

At this moment, Luger AI and several computer people are also in his secret room, and a laser in the middle of the room projects a 3D image of the just-concluded 10-minute military meeting.

Recently, Luger AI has enabled a set of newly developed monitoring equipment, photonic chromatography analyzer, which is only 10 nanometers in size, all using non-metallic materials, which can fly autonomously and attach to people's clothes or hair.

Now not only Yi'an is being followed, but all the key government officials are under the monitoring of Luger's AI, and their every move cannot escape the eyes of computer people.
