Chapter 1081 Another Possibility

As the heart of the European Union, the victory of the German revolution inspired the European people who were struggling.

The collapse of the Rothschild Empire accelerated the pace of "de-rightization" in European countries. People began to reflect on whether the choices they made two years ago were correct, and whether those far-right parties really transformed their countries after coming to power. Taken in a better direction.

In contrast to the turbulent situation in Europe, the Asian economy on the other side of the world is on a steady upward trajectory.

Especially for that country, which is located in the Western Pacific and has vast sea areas, its GDP is growing by leaps and bounds as if it were on a space elevator.

On June 10, a delegation from the Japanese government took the initiative to come to Koro City, leading Chubu Electric Power Company and Tokyo Electric Power Company to broker an agreement to expand electricity imports and increase the total amount of imported electricity in the second half of the year by 31% to replace domestic electricity. Two out-of-service nuclear power plants.

At present, the rate of helium 3 mining in Guanghan City is far greater than the rate of consumption. The newly built second nuclear fusion power station is about to be completed, and there is still considerable surplus production capacity. Of course, Jiang Chen welcomed such an agreement with open hands.

Not only Japan, but also the Chinese market, which Jiang Chen coveted the most, also relaxed its policies and sent many delegations from power companies to the new country for inspection. As the world's largest electricity consumer, China's electricity market is larger than the United States, which ranks second, and India, which ranks third.

Even if China eliminates half of its thermal power generation, Star Ring Trade will make crazy profits.

As of early June, the global power grid plan has completed the most critical first step. Thanks to the efforts of many parties, the Xinghuan Trading Place submarine cable has successfully covered the entire Australia and 80% of the countries and regions in Asia, and the power output accounts for 88% of the total domestic power output value.

Benefiting from the dividends brought by cheap electricity, based on the proportion of imported electricity in the country's total electricity consumption, the industrial costs of countries participating in the Global Power Grid Plan have dropped by as much as 1.7% and as low as 0.3%. Don’t underestimate the decline of these two points. When reflected on the GDP measured in trillions, the energy generated is unimaginable!

This does not even mention a series of benefits such as the ecological environment, investment environment, competitiveness of export products, promoting the electrification process, reducing the dependence of domestic industries on the energy market, etc. In short, governments of various countries who have tasted the sweetness have also released positive signals and sent their own entrepreneurs to negotiate with New Zealand to see if they can expand imports.

The New York Times even claimed that the new country has become a country on telephone poles. The Washington Post published a very ironic cartoon, in which dog leashes extending from the Western Pacific tied the surrounding countries, large and small.

No matter what is reported in the media, countries that have bought tickets to board the train have already boarded the high-speed electrified train. Having tasted the benefits, they naturally have no reason to jump out of the train.

Through the submarine cables, Jiang Chen not only gained a steady stream of cash flow, but also gained solid diplomatic capital.

Why has the U.S. dollar dominated global markets for more than half a century? One of the main reasons is that any country that wants to develop light and heavy industries cannot do without oil, and the US dollar happens to be linked to oil. If your domestic crude oil production cannot meet domestic demand, then you can only reserve more foreign exchange to avoid risks.

It is the same now, with Asian countries all increasing their holdings of Singapore dollars.

When the rise and fall of the Singapore dollar has affected the industrial and daily electricity costs of many countries, even if Coro City is not the world's financial center, the new Federal Reserve seems to have the potential to leverage the US dollar's currency dominance.

It’s not about finance, it’s about hard power.

…

There are still five days left before the Outer Space Security Summit is held. Jiang Chen has already sent invitations to ten major countries around the world. In the invitation, he implicitly mentioned that the topics discussed at the meeting will be related to extraterrestrial civilization.

So far, the ten countries that have received invitation letters have stated that they will send high-level foreign ministers to visit.

There is no suspense about the meeting. For Jiang Chen, what kind of evidence will be presented at the meeting has become a key issue.

Currently, the space telescope he transported from the apocalyptic side has been loaded into the space elevator and sent to the synchronous orbit. Jiang Chen didn't know the specific coordinates of the colonial ship, but he knew where they would come from and their destination, and that was enough.

The Gliese 581 galaxy is about 2 degrees north of Beta Libra and 20.5 light-years from Earth. As early as a week before the invitation letter was sent out, the astronomical observation team of the Star Ring Trade and Space Department conducted several days of observation and analysis of the galaxy, and finally came up with a surprising... This was already expected for Jiang Chen news.

The probability of life on the planet Gliese 581g reaches 90%.

"It's unbelievable..." Holding a stack of documents filled with astronomical data in his hand, Kerwin walked into Jiang Chen's office and said with disbelief on his face, "Your guess is correct, there is indeed a place that breeds life there. Possibly. But I am certain that even if there is life there, it is absolutely impossible to give birth to a civilization above the Stone Age."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Oh? Why?"

"The first is tidal locking. The habitable zone of the entire planet is only around the dusk line, which determines their living space." As he said that, Kerwin took out another spectrum chart from the file and placed it on Jiang Chen's In front of us, "Then the most critical thing is that the elemental composition of this planet contains a large amount of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon, but it is extremely lacking in mineral elements such as iron and aluminum. Referring to the analysis of the gravity data we have observed, this planet's largest It may be that there are a group of arthropod insects in the twilight line, and even mammals don’t exist!”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded approvingly.

Even though they relied on observation equipment from the 22nd century, it was quite remarkable to be able to analyze so much valuable intelligence from limited information.

"Then have you considered another possibility?"

"Another possibility?" Kerwin frowned.

"We have always believed that the development of civilization is linear, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, then from the feudal era to the industrial revolution, and finally crossing the gate of the information age into the future."

"Is there something wrong?" Kerwin asked disapprovingly.

"Conclusions drawn from only one reference system cannot be universally applicable. We cannot deny the possibility of other forms of civilization just because the development of human civilization is linear." Jiang Chen said.

"You mean a group of bugs could give birth to civilization? Don't be kidding, they..." Kerwin shook his head. He was about to say that they didn't even have hands, but he suddenly froze.

He suddenly remembered the Star Ring Trade military operation against the tundra in northern Finland some time ago. There, the powered armor brigade that the Star Ring Trade was proud of encountered seemed to be a group of alien species crawling out of insect eggs.

Why did Jiang Chen let the Halo Trade and Space Department observe the Gliese Galaxy? Why did Jiang Chen suddenly go to Finland before the X2 bacteria incident broke out? Why was Jiang Chen so sure of the danger of the Brood from the beginning...

All the clues connected in Kerwin's mind.

He looked at Jiang Chen blankly, and squeezed out a few words from his throat in disbelief.

"You mean..."

"That's right," Jiang Chen nodded and said seriously, "The whole story of the X2 bacteria was not just a research accident as publicized by the outside world. From the beginning, this was the conspiracy of extraterrestrial civilization." (To be continued.) Enable new URL
