Chapter 617: Locking the Country for Thirty Years


The ceremony gradually came to an end, and Zhang Jingyuan showed off his representative as the emperor: a seal carved from a uniform quartz stone, only the size of a fist, with the word "self-improvement" engraved on it; the screen in the square displayed all the details. Clearly.

No one would have thought that someone would make an imperial seal out of stone. Seeing the simple and unpolished surface, at that moment, 160 million citizens recognized this empire from the bottom of their hearts! Even if it's just for show, being able to do it to this extent is admirable!

In any case, an emperor in ordinary clothes and a group of nobles in ordinary clothes at the founding ceremony of the country, as well as a seal made of quartz, are enough to move anyone.

After the ceremony, the carnival lasted for a month, and the country also had a month-long holiday. One month later, the Chinese Empire began its real imperial career. First, after high-level discussions, the country will be blocked for 30 years; however, it is not a complete blockade, but limited exchanges. Within 30 years, it will mainly focus on social infrastructure construction rather than so-called commercial exchanges. You know, Venus is really a bare planet, and even plants need to be imported from the outside. Under such circumstances, letting go of communication would only shatter this new empire into pieces.

In fact, current communication is mainly about Venus buying, with complete input. There is nothing that can be done about this. A country that has just been established is really poor. However, companies such as Gaoshou Company and Baojian Group that had completely moved into Venus suddenly had a collective explosion!

science and technology! All are top-notch technology! After forty years of accumulation, these companies certainly have too many technologies, but it is not convenient to take them out on earth.

For example, genetic agents that promote physical health, regenerate amputated limbs, extend life for 50 years, etc., powerful high-temperature resistant materials that are almost indestructible, advanced plasma engines, spaceships, computer software and hardware technology, virtual technology, etc., everything All brought massive wealth to the new empire. Of course, most of this wealth belongs to the master's company - in other words, this is the private wealth of the royal family and cannot be regarded as the wealth of the empire. But Zhang Jingyuan waved his hand. Give it to the Empire; as an interest-free loan.

This approach is not pedantic. Private interests and national interests must be clearly distinguished, otherwise there will be endless consequences. As the saying goes, everything in the world is for profit. No matter what, we must admit that interests in this world are against the purpose. Not a few! Therefore, no matter who governs the country, it is most important to understand the relationship between interests. Of course, in fact, the entire Venus belongs to the Master Company. This is a fact that no one can refute.

30 years of "isolation" as a national policy. This actually makes the republic on earth breathe a sigh of relief: it seems that the earth will have about thirty years to catch up!

It is foreseeable that even though Venus now has a large number of advanced technologies, they have an extremely fatal weakness: foundation! This can no longer be described as weak, it simply doesn’t exist! Traditionally, it will take a long time to turn these technologies into strength - at least. There needs to be a factory that transforms technology!

The things currently sold on Venus are basically produced in space factories. To build a complete high-tech empire from a blank slate, 30 years is, to be honest, a bit tight! Although the earth has taken many detours, two hundred years of technological accumulation and infrastructure construction cannot be underestimated! Scientific and technological development and national construction are not about blowing balloons.

In May of the 3rd year of the Venus Empire calendar, the empire officially established a complete education system. In the case of a shortage of teachers, virtual reality technology was used for teaching. In the world of virtual reality, students are even allowed to play all kinds of crazy games; of course, the virtual world must also be protected, and it will be bad if they are mentally intimidated and have the root of their disease - because this is a virtual world. Therefore, there is a setting of death; and human beings have an instinctive fear of death. Maybe if you don't pay attention, someone will be frightened! But it has to be said that virtual reality technology has solved too many problems of the new empire.

At the end of the 4th year of the imperial calendar. It has initially improved the coverage of wireless connections and virtual reality. This thing does not require a lot of infrastructure. It can be solved with a helmet and a virtual computer terminal plus wireless communication; and as a bonus, it is free. All citizens of the empire can communicate online at any time, and some people have even directly positioned their future wealth path in this virtual world and started their own business. Also during this year, the empire's medical system began to improve, and these problems were basically solved in important settlement areas; in order to deal with the dilemma of lack of doctors, the empire adopted robots to replace manual labor; unless it was particularly complicated or This is a case that has never been seen before. The robot can basically perform the surgery using online monitoring.

In the fifth year of the empire's calendar, after adapting to constant-value currency, the first bank was established, the Imperial Central Bank. From then on, most of the imperial financial and other rights were divided by the central bank.

In 2006, the Empire's nuclear fusion technology moved from the laboratory to application and achieved a breakthrough. The Empire began the era of nuclear fusion energy. The Empire is finally out of its energy dilemma - it was previously supported by physical batteries for space transportation. Without natural energy, the efficiency of ground photovoltaic cells is really low.

At the end of the 5th year of the Imperial Calendar, a far-reaching incident occurred. A small vendor was illegally exploited by law enforcement officers, so he drew his gun and shot, killing two law enforcement officers and seriously injuring the other, and the vendor himself was also seriously injured. Of course, as long as you don't die, you can basically save your life with modern medical technology.

But this matter attracted Zhang Jingyuan's attention. For thousands of years, the idea of ​​bureaucracy has been imprinted in the bones of the Chinese nation. In order to break the status quo and encourage democracy, Zhang Jingyuan personally ordered to reward small traders and visited them personally. In addition, After treating the seriously injured law enforcement officer, he personally released the video of the shooting. Then the first official crackdown after the founding of the People's Republic of China was carried out - fortunately, in an era when everyone was equipped with a gun, and with the obvious upward path, fools were in the minority after all. However, this incident demonstrated the empire's determination for the New Deal through a practical example. The supervisors and colleagues of the two law enforcement officers were all taken away for investigation, and then individually disappeared without any news.

In the 6th year of the Empire's calendar, the first metal vein was discovered on Venus. Although the content was small and the types were mixed, it was ultimately its own vein and was extremely important for the development of the empire. In this era of science and technology, human civilization is based on metal minerals dominated by steel. According to detection, this vein is a remnant caused by melting and sedimentation.

In the 7th year of the Imperial Calendar, the green area of ​​Venus exceeds 50%, and the oxygen "budget" is finally balanced. At the same time, the fish brought here from the earth, mainly freshwater fish, have begun to appear in populations; the empire has begun to open the fishing industry to a limited extent, and the seven-year vegetarian life has finally been broken, and people are celebrating.

Although Venus is rich in food, there is no meat; meat imported from the earth cannot pass Venus' strict inspection. Contrary to those official figures, no one cares about meat from the earth; even though people have not eaten meat for seven years. However, soy protein, fungi, etc. processed through high-tech means can appropriately satisfy human beings' pursuit of meat.

It's just that processed "high imitation meat" is not as good as natural meat. No matter how advanced the technology is, at least you can't change human subconsciousness yet! Even if all the data shows that this thing is the same as real meat, consumers say: it is fake after all! What can you do about psychological problems?

Therefore, under such circumstances, the first batch of fish caught was snatched up in almost a day. Within the limits permitted by imperial law and morality, in some places such as inland areas, prices are inflated by four or five times. In Empire, we are opposed to unlimited speculation, but our essence is to encourage business; therefore, as long as your price is recognized by others, you can do whatever you want. Especially for some non-essential daily necessities, the price can be very high; but for grain, salt, etc., if you dare to speculate for me, I will copy you immediately!

The vast Venusian ocean and the algae that have flourished for more than ten years provide these freshwater fish with an incomparable living environment. Some carps that could only grow a few tens of centimeters long on the earth grew into giants here, three to five meters long, and swarmed around the world in groups. The crabs on some beaches even grow up to one meter in size!

Of course, only Zhang Jingyuan and the higher-ups of the empire knew that the new planet was full of vitality. In addition, various carnivorous animals raised in seven years have also begun to be marketed; finally, after seven years of hard work, Venus has begun to get on the right track!
