Chapter 438: Every step of the way makes you wiser, thank you!
(PS: This chapter is a little too watery, please be sure to order it.)
The snap of Thanos’ fingers five years ago was not without benefit to the United States in the main universe of the movie. The population After being reduced by half, the United States has embarked on the "AI era" and concentrated its efforts on automated production in order to keep productivity in the United States.
As we all know, the three major advantages of the United States are the attraction of "American freedom" to outstanding talents and capital from around the world, the "petroleum-dollar" hegemonic system, and military power distributed around the world.
They innovate in various fields through their talent and capital advantages, seize the global market with high-tech products, and obtain excess profits.
At the same time, it harvests global wealth by raising and lowering interest rates on the energy-linked U.S. dollar, and then uses military power distributed around the world to ensure that all this wealth can be imported into the United States.
So, technology, the US dollar and the military are the three core competitiveness of the United States.
In order to maintain leadership and sustained profitability, the United States must maintain technological leadership, dollar hegemony and strong military deterrence.
Our three major advantages are a complete industrial system, a team of high-quality industrial engineers and a huge domestic consumer market.
After joining the WTO, the Sino-US cooperation model is that the United States provides high technology, we engage in large-scale production, and the products are exported to the world. Both the United States and China benefit from it, but the United States takes the majority.
In order to change this low-profit model, the newly established Ministry of Science and Technology will mobilize the whole country to carry out scientific and technological innovation and completely get rid of the original economic growth model.
But the Americans are used to making easy money, and they want to return to the original international division of labor, so that we are responsible for production and they are responsible for collecting money.
This is the source of trade friction.
However, although the United States has the best talents in the world engaged in research and development, its industrial system has fallen apart as early as the "deindustrialization" period.
Due to the expensive domestic labor force and the developed financial system, the United States has gradually used its advantages in technology and capital to move manufacturing plants to Asia, Europe and South America.
There is almost no strong and complete manufacturing industrial system in the United States.
Since the top ten financial groups can harvest the world's wealth by relying on US dollar hegemony and military deterrence, why should they spend money and energy to maintain a huge industrial system?
The United States wants to engage in "MAGA" and even shouted the slogan "If it wants to be strong again, it must use Americans and make American products." However, the "American reindustrialization" in the Trump era and the "American reindustrialization" in the Lao Bai era “Reinventing America’s infrastructure” has all failed.
So the United States hopes to usher in the "AI era". Since the bosses don't want to build factories and there are no workers to enter the factories, they might as well build all automatic factories and let the machines work. In this way, productivity can be kept in the United States. Native.
Before Thanos snapped his fingers, it was already the consensus of American elites to vigorously develop the AI industry. After the population is reduced by half, America’s manufacturing industry will become even more unsustainable because labor costs will further increase and young people’s own lives will be affected. The pressure is relatively low and they are even less willing to enter the factory.
As a result, Lao America began to accelerate the promotion of "automated mass production", and Stark Industries was one of the leaders.
As a genius who developed mature artificial intelligence in the 1990s, Tony Stark not only got married and gave birth to a daughter in the past five years, but his parents-in-law also borrowed money from the country to The east wind of strategy has pushed Stark Industries to a new height.
This is the reason why Tony dares to promote the "Fortress of Doom" plan by relying on Stark Industries alone.
Also because the automatic factories in the United States have developed greatly in the past five years, Nick Fury, the "Black Braised Egg", is confident that he can quietly build a "Noah's Ark" to travel to other universes. In an automated factory on the outskirts of San Francisco, Nick Fury stood in front of a big screen. He didn't pay attention to the high-speed machines in the factory, but he was looking at the images captured by the surveillance satellites.
The picture shows a fairy palace standing on the clouds, floating in the sky over China, with several fairy mountains guarding the left and right, cranes spreading their wings, dragons and phoenixes soaring.
As the saying goes, "You can only know etiquette if you have enough food in a warehouse", and there is also a saying that "you have nothing to do until you are full", both illustrate the truth: after people meet their survival needs, they will begin to pursue spiritual needs.
Obviously there are zombies all over the world abroad, but among the people protected by the Immortal Family Formation, there are always some weird or ulterior motives who jump out to cause trouble, claiming that the news is all false and that the authorities are colluding with aliens. If you want to trap everyone to death, you have both nose and eyes.
After Zhao Yi asked Lin Hao for instructions, he directly targeted a few guys who screamed the loudest, threw their whole family to a "free foreign country", and then broadcast the scene of these idiots being eaten by zombies live on the entire network. There is no mosaic.
Happiness is happiness, finally we have to solve the psychological problems of all the people.
Lin Hao had no choice but to bring the First Heavenly Palace from the Mars Heavenly Palace, and asked Jiang Ming to bring Xin Shushan to accompany him. Taking advantage of the national emergency, he directly launched the "National Great Cultivation of Immortality". After having something to do, he really stopped making trouble.
Seeing that his old rival is thriving while the America he loves is full of zombies, the spiritual white man "Black Braised Egg" feels very uncomfortable.
After these days, he has connected the sponsors of the "Ark Project" and has been asking Phil Coulson for information about the Spear Bureau.
As an executive who once directly dealt with the North American branch of the Spear Bureau, Coulson, who comes from the "base universe", has a good understanding of the basic information about the Spear Bureau, but all he knows is Lin Hao The old version before joining, the new version can be experienced personally through the experiences of the United States over the years.
"Do you think Strange's magic circle can block the prying eyes of the Spear Bureau?" Nick Fury stared at Coulson with his one eye.
The "Hawaii Riot" that happened in another universe has been disclosed to the United States by the real captain, and the upper-class dignitaries in Hawaii were publicly tried, which made the United States aware of the riot.
Although Phil Coulson did not know the entire inside story, he was a professional agent. After a little analysis, he understood that someone deliberately leaked the plans of the powerful to the bottom. This led to the complete collapse of the bottom military and police, setting off a self-destruction riot.
Every experience gained leads to wisdom. Nick Fury's "Ark Project" is also about the upper class abandoning the lower class civilians. They don't care that the lower class civilians are also rioting. Anyway, this earth is already ruined, and it can still be destroyed. Where to go, I just don’t want to travel before the plan is completed.
Fortunately, Stephen Strange came to the door with all the magicians of Kama Taj and expressed his willingness to join and provide magic circles for their many automatic factories to ensure the safety of the factories. , and secondly, to hide the traces.
But seeing the big moves on the other side of the ocean, Nick Fury became suspicious again.
No matter how you look at it, the special effects are more powerful than the thin magic circles like Kama Taj, which makes it difficult for the "black braised egg" who is naturally insecure not to doubt it.
I saw that some friends questioned why Stark Industries could build the Fortress of Doom alone, so I explained a few more words and related the causes and consequences in light of reality.
