Chapter 529 Interventionism
Yipinju, 1102.
"Hey! You've been visiting for ten minutes... Do you want me to hold a lamp for you?
I know you're here for a visit, but those who don't know think you're arrogant Here are the people who came to inspect the house..."
Meng Lang finally couldn't help but said helplessly.
Hearing this, Gao Yuan, who was "visiting" carefully in the living room, stopped and looked slightly disappointed.
"How should I put it, the place you live in is... unexpectedly ordinary."
"What if it's not?"
"I thought it would be hidden All kinds of weird high-tech equipment, or some weird biological specimens and so on... Are you sure there are no secret passages here?"
Meng Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Co-author: You think of me as Batman, right?
"You have watched too many movies... On the 11th floor, where can I go to build a secret passage for you? If you use an electric drill, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs will dare to disturb people's phone calls..."
"Yeah...that's true."
Meng Lang pointed to the chair opposite. "Sit down, there's nothing to entertain. How about some fruit?"
Gao Yuan glanced at the fruit plate on the living room table, which contained a few apples.
Hmm...pyramid shape, an extremely standard equilateral triangle...
She had felt that something was not quite right from just now, and only now did she realize that although the furnishings in this room were ordinary, they seemed a bit strange. Too "neat"...
"Can't you tell, are you still an obsessive-compulsive disorder?" She looked a little weird.
"Uh...I'm not. As for why the room turned out like this, of course there are some other reasons..."
Xiao Yu has been reading a lot recently, and every time she leaves I would tidy up the room beforehand, so the style of the room in 1102 gradually moved closer to that of 1103...
"Oh~ Is this also a kind of self-disguise, just like you like history but there is no history book on the bookshelf?" Gao Yuan nodded and suddenly asked with a smile.
Meng Lang: "..."
"Ahem! That's about right! You know, in our line of work, people can see through it at a glance. It's also necessary to hide your preferences. .
So if one day in the future you find that I am inconsistent or even have a personality conflict, don’t be surprised, this is all routine.”
Meng Lang warned Gao Yuan seriously. Needle.
Gao Yuan did not hear the "implication" of Meng Lang's words, and looked up at the background wall behind Meng Lang.
There is a word hanging on it, and there are three photo frames.
The poem "Linjiang Fairy" on the left is good, but the characters are a bit ugly.
The painting in the photo frame on the right looks like a composite art photo in some kind of science fiction style...
"Hmm! A combination of Chinese and Western, a mix of traditional classics and future fantasy.
The poems on the left are so heroic, but the paintings on the right are all sad and lonely...
I don't know if there is a conflict in personality, at least your taste in decorating the room is quite conflicting. "
"Uh...hehe..."
Meng Lang twitched the corner of his mouth.
I would like to be optimistic and positive, but on the journey of life , all the bad news came...
When Feng Qing borrowed his strength, he flew high into the sky...
It sounds easy, but look at me after I broke off the line and rushed out of the earth.
Either die alone on the moon, or be buried on Mars by a super storm...
The ending is a miserable one.
This time I did not die in a foreign land, but was cremated on the spot...
He raised his head and looked at the third photo frame he had just hung up yesterday.
In the photo frame is a new photo. On the ground are various strange mechanical wreckage, and in the sky are countless meteors and fire showers. The two are separated by a huge crack on the ground.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the gray sky and the rain of fire are extremely similar to the background of the cover of a book in the study...
The close shot of this photo is A somewhat blurry figure with white hair looked up to the sky and looked at the apocalyptic scene in front of him.
The back view, the indescribable helplessness and desolation...
Looking at these three different life endings, Meng Lang had mixed feelings in his heart.
The previous two failed experiences in escaping from the earth seem to have made the brothers avoid this strategy of saving the country through curves.
At least after "Braveheart", there is no more "fugitive group".
Coupled with the "good news" coming from the frontal battlefield, he had the illusion that "I can fight back", causing him to lose the last chance to leave the earth in this episode...
< br>He has been thinking since yesterday that if he chose to invest massive resources in colonizing Mars from the beginning, he might be able to survive in the universe for a while longer.
In fact, after learning about the tragic situation of the little broken ball, he seriously considered the "escape route".
Just run away if you can’t beat him, it’s not shabby!
For example, in the book "Brave Heart", he changed his strategy midway and prepared to reach Mars because he had no hope of victory.
But until 2043, he could only build three Mars immigration ships, with a population of only over 500 immigrants.
If the scale is too small, the fault tolerance rate will be low.
Just like a candle in the wind, a sudden small storm can easily severely damage or even wipe out this remaining branch of humanity.
So even if you want to run away, just a small survival base is not enough!
Before the small broken ball bursts in 2063, building a Martian immigrant city with a population of at least one million may be able to truly continue the fire of civilization...
However, even if Wanwu Holdings develops No matter how fast we move, the total amount of resources that can be mobilized is limited.
He has been playing "matryoshka" until today, and he has tried his best to be able to fight head-on with the Night Demons.
If too much energy is invested in the colonization of Mars, it will inevitably slow down the development of the earth...
Not to mention that the Night Demon Clan will take action in 2043, and the main base is struggling to hold on. Well, you still want to secretly open a branch base?
When you play StarCraft, you will know that if you double-open even if you are evenly matched, you will most likely be taken away by the opponent!
Well... at least for now, betting on both ends and opening two lines is an extremely risky behavior.
And once you make up your mind to become an "escape party", it almost means giving up the vast majority of the population on the earth...
Countless elderly people, children... tens of billions of tragic casualties...
Making such a decision is undoubtedly extremely painful and difficult.
Even if he is really determined, the real problem next for the "escape faction" is actually the problem of "who leaves and who stays".
If it is not handled well, it may turn from fleeing to rout.
For the sake of the few escape spots, humans will beat themselves out of their brains without even having to take action from the Night Demons...
After glancing at Gao Yuan, he hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
“I know you have always been curious about us, but I want to tell you that the truth is often crueler than lies.
The closer to the truth, the more painful people are.
Knowing too little may not be a happy thing."
Looking at Meng Lang's serious expression, Gao Yuan rolled her eyes helplessly.
"The problem is... knowing half is more painful than knowing too little, right?"
Africa Z Vaccine.
Intelligent AI that leads the entire world.
There are also various advanced technologies emerging one after another...
Outsiders may not have such a deep impression, but as the specific executor who coordinates the overall situation, Gao Yuan is already in the game.
She understood better than anyone what kind of magical "being" Meng Lang was.
He is like a blind box, and the ultimate truth of this world may be hidden inside...
Now you tell her not to be curious about brother, is it possible?
"Uh..."
Meng Lang was a little embarrassed.
Indeed, Gao Yuan joined the gang by herself. She knew she had a big secret, but she just didn't tell you what the secret was.
It does seem a bit unnatural...
"Ahem!" He coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and then pointed to a few photo frames on the wall.
“Look at these photos, what can you read from them?”
“Huh?” Gao Yuan looked confused.
Except that the composition is more clever and the artistic conception is more profound, it seems to be no different from those ordinary computer-generated photos.
But since Meng Lang said so, she naturally wouldn't think it was pointless.
Is there any secret hidden in these paintings?
Looked at the three paintings very carefully.
"Well...although I can't see anything, judging from the atmosphere the author wants to create, it seems...it's quite sad?"
hehe! Congratulations, you saw the key core at a glance!
"You asked me before why I launched the 'Ark Shares' in a hurry. Do you know why I named it 'Ark'?"
Meng Lang suddenly threw it away again. A seemingly unrelated question came up.
Gao Yuan was startled, and then her eyes suddenly opened wide...
"You mean..."
"Well...it's just the worst plan."
Gao Yuan: "..."
Ark...Ark...is really like this...
There was silence for a long time.
“…How long do we have?”
"Estimated from the latest data...45 years."
Uh...accurate to the year.
Is the "estimate" still so accurate?
But after hearing that it would still be such a long time, Gao Yuan's heart that had just raised in her throat finally relaxed again.
After 45 years, I am already in my seventies and eighties.
It seems...not unacceptable?
Looking at the other party's relieved look, Meng Lang seemed to see what the other party was thinking, and felt quite unbalanced in his heart.
Yes, for ordinary people like Gao Yuan, it may be just an episode at the end of her life. In this life, she can at least live in happiness and die in sorrow.
But for me, almost every day is the end of the world...
The survival pressure that needs to be faced at this kind of moment is completely different from Gao Yuan.
Didn’t you see in the photo that your hair turned completely white before you turned 70?
My whole life... is full of worries!
“With so much time, we may not be able to make a comeback, right?” Gao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Of course there is a chance, but after...well...some kind of high-tech calculation simulation, if we follow the steps, our current winning rate is not high."
Gao Yuan heard this and was confused. He didn't show any expression of frustration, but instead became more enthusiastic.
At her core, she is a person who is obsessed with challenges...
"So you tell me this to let me know that we can't just follow the steps?"
Smart!
Meng Lang admired in his heart.
“For us, the Xu Group is just an insignificant enemy. No matter how you deal with them, I will not interfere.
Even if necessary, we can send out an 'elevator' to get rid of it once and for all..."
"Wait! Who is the ‘elevator’? "
"Well...the organization's gold medal killer. "
Gao Yuan: "..."
"This is not the point. The point is that we cannot limit our sights to Su City, or even to the three-thirds of an acre of China.
The current situation is that even if we bring the entire country of China, we may not be able to do it.
So we need to change our strategy slightly, look at the world, and develop a global layout! ”
“Globalization layout? "
"Well! "Meng Lang nodded, then took out a document and handed it over.
Gao Yuan opened the document with a puzzled look on her face...
"Iwasaki Hideyoshi?"
The information is clearly the resume of a Fuso man. In the photo, Iwasaki Hideyoshi has a handsome face and smiles like a big boy next door.
It’s just that the smile is like wearing a mask, which seems a bit hypocritical.
However, the more he continued to look down, the more surprised Gao Yuan's face became.
[Iwasaki Hideyoshi, male, 24 years old, from Fuso Kyoto, Mitsubishi Corporation, one of the fourth generation heirs of the Iwasaki family...]
After reading Iwasaki Hideyoshi's information, she raised her head in confusion.
"The global layout you are talking about...could it be referring to him?"
"No, it is the entire Mitsubishi Group behind him."
Gao Yuan: "..."
Hey, hey! Now we are barely able to rank among the top 50,000 in the world. You want to build a super conglomerate that can rank among the top 50 among the world's top 500...
Our pace of globalization...isn't it a bit big?
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course it is to control him. As long as the benefits are sufficient, a person's bottom line is actually very flexible."
"I understand the truth, but... ...Do we have any interests that can make him excited?" Gao Yuan was confused.
“There is none now, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future…”
"What do you mean?"
"Have you seen Hamlet?"
"Uh...of course."
"Then you say...a man who could have inherited a huge kingdom The prince, but due to the machinations of his closest relatives, not only lost his throne, but was also hunted all over the world...
How desperate and helpless must that be? ”
Gao Yuan: "???"
......
Escape from the earth is always the last resort, but if you want to change the final outcome, you must win quickly!
If the Night Demons can be eliminated in a short period of time, whether it is studying how to deal with the "seeds" underground or making every effort to immigrate to Mars, the operability will be much more flexible.
Rather than struggling to survive while facing the army of night demons.
Perhaps it was due to the small farmer mentality. In my previous life, I focused most of my development efforts on China.
I have spent all my resources to build my own base camp. I thought that in this way, I could sit back and watch the changes in the world, and watch the clouds roll and relax.
However, it is clearly stated in "No One Survived".
Even the floating rail guns that fill the earth's orbit, the guardian robots that cover the mountains and plains, and the unmanned seventh-generation fighters that cover the sky...
It has only achieved the goal of Any axis of evil on earth is kept out of the country.
not enough! This is not enough!
As we all know, if you want to defeat your opponents quickly in StarCraft, in addition to accelerating your own development... you can also choose to open a base!
If he wants to win quickly, he must have more resources at his disposal.
And most of the resources in the world...are in the hands of a few big countries!
He may not be able to open the Mars sub-base yet.
But opening a Fuso branch is practical!
In terms of modern industrial strength, apart from China, Germany and Fuso can barely keep up.
Germany is too far away, has an insufficient population, and is in the extremely complex political quagmire of Europa, making it difficult to control.
Fuso is different. The chaebol economy determines that the control of this country is always in the hands of a few chaebol families.
Controlling it, even if it only causes it to fall into confusion, will not only weaken the restless people on the other side of the ocean, but also gain greater strategic space for China. Development with free hands can be said to kill more than one stone. bird.
In this episode of life, his brother provided him with an excellent entry point...
Iwasaki Hideyoshi!
This future "Hamlet"-like tragic figure has since ushered in a turning point in his destiny...
Meng Lang looked at the handsome face on the information, and his eyes revealed a hint of meaning. .
Since "isolationism" has proven its limitations, then we...
I have no choice but to turn to "interventionism"...(End of Chapter)
