Deep Space Planet Leader

We bid farewell to Li Zhendong and greeted several friends. Zhang Yuan came to the newsroom and met the teacher who had been away for a long time, Academician Ding.

"Zhang Yuan, after all, we haven’t seen each other for a thousand years. In a blink of an eye, you are already over a thousand years old." Academician Ding was in a good mood and opened A little joke.

"teacher..."

Zhang Yuan silently discovered that Academician Ding was much older and looked like a seventy-eighty-year-old man.

It may be because of the more frequent wakefulness. Fortunately, with some longevity medicines in the biological laboratory, seventy-eight years old is not as old as before, but it is still in the vigorous period of career.

Academician Ding patted his shoulder: "This time is the new year, mainly or for the preparation of the New Civilization History Conference, three months later. If you have anything to say, when the time Comes can come up."

"By the way, your Academician paper, we have already read it. It is not difficult to pass the defense. But it is only the Academician of New Civilization History, equivalent to the Academician of Science. "

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Science Academician should be fine..."

Another old professor also smiled and said: "About the Psy function you proposed, I think it is still very valuable...I still have a few questions I want to ask you."

Several people discussed for an hour, about academic aspects, and some things that happened on Earth .

Since it is a new year, it will definitely be busier. Equipment such as nuclear power plants has to be repaired and inspected, and all aspects of spaceship will be inspected in an all-round way, including communication devices, inventory counts, and so on.

"You just woke up from hibernation and have not fully recovered. Let's rest for a week."

"Learn about the entire spaceship and the changes in Earth civilization..."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

After half an hour, Zhang Yuan returned to his bedroom.

It's time to learn about the latest developments in Earth civilization.

I checked my luggage and found that the phone was broken and there was no way to open it, but the tablet computer was still usable. He was a little skeptical, maybe next time he wakes up, he won't even be able to use the tablet. When the time comes, I can only get a very old-fashioned black-and-white work computer.

shook the head, Zhang Yuan was sitting in front of the computer, taking a deep breath.

I remember that when he was hibernating last time, with the fire star as the dividing line, the inner and outer political circles of the solar system were in a cold war.

The main reason is the class contradiction caused by the gap between the rich and the poor.

The Cold War is just a way to divert internal conflicts.

Secretly sighed in his heart: "I don’t know now, five hundred years have passed, and whether it has been resolved. The Cold War is also impossible for the Cold War for five hundred years, right?"

The old report: "Earth Era, colleagues of the Golden Sun, hello everyone. I am Ding Quan, the president of the Deep Space Foundation..."

The familiar opening remarks give people a sense of peace of mind. Feel.

Under the impact of time, the Earth civilization has long since things have remained the same, but people have changed, and all familiar things have gradually disappeared. The Deep Space Foundation is already the only trustworthy organization on Earth.

I saw this report read: “Under the dark cloud of war, internal conflicts are gradually slowing down, and populist sentiment is rising.”

“I’m very regretfully to inform you, Deep Space Foundation belongs to the inner political circle of the solar system...We have no way to know the various data of the inner political circle."

Including economic data, Engel coefficient, Gini index, industrial index, etc., Deep Space Foundation It can only be estimated by various external manifestations.

"But unfortunately, relying on the Cold War to resolve internal conflicts, new problems soon appeared..."

The first problem is that housing prices on Earth began to collapse.

The war is on the verge of breaking out, and even a local war has broken out on the fire star battlefield. With this kind of risk appetite, the impossible housing prices continue to rise, and people just want to hide away from the battlefield on Venus and Mercury, adding to the flames.

More and more people began to sell their houses on Earth and flee to the safer Mercury and Venus. Finally one day, housing prices began to collapse.

The rate of collapse is so fast that even the government departments have not yet reacted to make a response decision. In just one year, many rooms in the city were directly cut in half.

The collapse of housing prices has turned many people with mortgages into negative equity overnight.

Since we all have negative equity, what mortgage should I still pay?

So this group of people with negative equity directly broke the contract, and the house was no longer needed, so they patted their butt and ran away from Earth.

Now the bank is miserable. It has to accept a lot of non-performing assets, and they can’t deal with it in such a harsh economic environment.

Coupled with various asset transfers and runs, banks have also begun to be unable to support it.

As a result, as soon as the bank fell, the capital chain was severely broken, and other industries began to fall continuously...

A tsunami-like financial crisis swept the Earth political circle , Which caused a huge blow to the entire economy!

The original Earth political circle relied on the two heavy industrial bases of Mercury and the Moon, coupled with the profound Earth, its economic strength was much stronger than the outer political circle, but after some financial baptism, its strength was greatly damaged. , The two sides reached the same starting line.

Zhang Yuan sighed.

Click to open the next report. The beginning is a bad news.

"Earth Era, colleagues of the Golden Sun, hello everyone. I am Ma Tengfei, President of the Deep Space Foundation..."

"...I am very regretfully to inform you, because of the economy In the downturn, the budget of the Deep Space Foundation has been reduced. We cannot afford the high cost of the next transmission of the news for the time being."

"I'm sorry."

"We promise, when When the funds are sufficient, we will find a way to send the next message."

"I'm really sorry."

The president said a lot of "I'm sorry".

To send a huge amount of information in PB on the scale of light years, it does require huge amounts of money.

Starting from this report, with the passage of time, the interval between Deep Space Foundation transmission the news began to grow longer and longer. By now, no one will recall the original ambitious deep space plan. When the economy is down, everyone just cares about themselves.

Zhang Yuan doesn't know how to describe his mood.

Deep Space Foundation, the original huge monster, in the misty wind and rain, has finally gone to true decline...

In various intermittent reports, you can know that, The Cold War lasted for 120 years.

Destruction is always simpler than construction. Various space weapons cannot directly destroy the planet, but they can destroy various ecosystems with no difficulty.

For example, in various space cities, a few shots of lasers can leak the air inside. There is no way for lasers to intercept them; the huge Earth is simply a moving target with various weapons. Destroying the ozone layer is simply too easy, but it can make a major change in Earth’s ecological environment...

Especially all kinds of genetic weapons, biological and chemical weapons, the cost is very small, but the destructive power is huge. Killing is simply too easy.

In this kind of tightrope walking situation, governments of all countries have maintained restraint trembling with fear, and local wars have only been conducted on the fire star.

Just like the original nuclear deterrence, when the nuclear bomb is mounted on the launch pad, it is the time when the deterrence is greatest. Everyone struggled for the economy, but didn't want to cause a huge backlash and wiped out themselves.

In this way, 120 years have passed, and no one has completely annihilated me. Under the condition of long-term consumption, the war-weariness in all regions has become increasingly high.

So, the opportunity for peace finally came slowly...

"Earth Era, colleagues of the Golden Sun, hello everyone. This summer is a year of melting glaciers. , We have ushered in true peace! Thanks to the world, perhaps our civilization can still get out of the trough."

Zhang Yuan's spirit was lifted.

A great man named "Quincy" appeared on Earth and gave a speech of the century. Under various opportunities, he actually re-created the peace of the entire world.
