Chapter 1518 That's a Long Story

Guanghan City.

After getting off the shuttle, Li Guangya went to the hotel where he was staying and made a phone call with his colleagues far away on Earth.

As soon as the phone was connected, an urgent voice came from the opposite side.

"Are you really planning to build another city next to Guanghan City?"

Looking at Secretary Wu in the video window, Li Guangya nodded and said.

"That's right."

Unexpectedly, this guy would admit it straightforwardly, Wu Shuhua was slightly taken aback, and then frowned.

"What's the reaction from Guanghan City?"

"The mayor's mood is fairly stable, at least I think it's quite stable."

Wu Shuhua: "I almost believed it."

Li Guangya smiled and said: "Then you should work harder. Let's be honest, Mayor Ye is a smart man. Knowing this matter is definitely good for Guanghan City, and it is also the best choice for him .Now the main conflict among the residents of Guanghan City is no longer the Guanghan City authorities colluding with East Asia Power, but the cooperation between East Asia Power and Pan Asia.”

Wu Shuhua frowned and said, "How can I see that the conflict has escalated instead?"

"Only by upgrading the conflict can the conflict be diverted," Li Guangya continued with a faint smile, "Next, we just need to find a common enemy for those people on the moon who are full and have nowhere to vent their energy. The earth has already found a common enemy." We are no longer our opponents, and the aliens are too illusory and far away, and the air pirates in the asteroid belt are just a good choice, especially because there is an anti-human KB organization behind them."

Wu Shuhua frowned.

"You mean...the Foundation? Does anyone really believe in that stuff?"

Li Guangya: "As long as we can find evidence of its existence, it's fine if we can't make one. Let me count how many people have given their lives for it... Well, I can't count it, but at least among the people I know There are two."

Liu Zhengxing and Song Yangwei, these two can be regarded as the top management of East Asia Electric Power. Although Li Guangya is not very familiar with them, he can often see these two guys on some high-level occasions.

"Perhaps the strong implementation of the second-generation controllable fusion program itself is a wrong decision. The residents on the moon are not ready to accept this technology, and our demand for energy is not urgent enough to mine those helium-3. , "There was a hint of worry in her eyes, Wu Shuhua paused for a moment, and then continued, "Do you think it's worth it?"

"If you don't prepare well today, you won't be ready in the future. As for whether it's worth it, no one dares to guarantee it until you see the effect." Li Guangya smiled lightly, "However, it will happen like this I have expected the result. The society on the moon has been separated from us for too long, and it is normal to have a gap."

Especially after the 1940s, with the rise of asteroid mining, coupled with the fact that high-emission, high-intensity industries such as high-intensity industries are migrating from the earth to Mars, the society on the earth is transitioning from a production-oriented society to a consumer-oriented society. Rare earth resources in the world are no longer so scarce.

After all, mining under zero-gravity conditions is really fragrant.

Coupled with the fact that the commute between Mars and the Earth-Moon system is far less convenient than that between Mars and the asteroid belt, as well as the relatively low minimum wage and extremely compressed labor security benefits on Mars, the decline of the moon is almost inevitable.

"So, you think you only need a common enemy, and then pulling the First Fleet to the asteroid belt and firing two shots, can solve the gap between us and the moon?"

"How? I'm not naive enough to think that setting up a target can solve all the troubles. We must admit that this kind of barrier has been formed regardless of distance, and it has been accumulated day by day for half a century. Think To fully resolve it, I'm afraid it will take longer, maybe a century, maybe two."

"It's useless to regret what has already happened. It is already a valuable asset for our civilization to learn a certain lesson from it," Li Guangya said with a faint smile, and continued, "If we will When the distance scale is enlarged to the light-year level, how should we deal with ourselves? Or how to deal with the contradiction between the parent star and the colony... I think this is probably the biggest revelation that this incident can bring us."

Wu Shuhua frowned and said, "Is this something that needs to be considered now?"

"Of course not," Li Guangya shook his head lightly, "but it is undeniable that this is a question worth thinking about."

As he said that, his face suddenly showed a bit of emotion.

"I don't know why, but I can suddenly understand a century ago, why people of that era would come up with such a 'stupid' plan to reinforce the future."

Wu Shuhua: "Why."

Li Guangya smiled and said: "Didn't you find out? Past experience really can't solve any problems about the future, but what's interesting is that most of the problems we face never learn from history... If It would be nice to go to the future, I bet the world will be more interesting in a hundred years from now than it is now."

Wu Shuhua: "Then you can freeze it."

"I'm just saying, I won't go," Li Guangya shook his head and said with a smile, "That era is certainly fascinating, but it would be a pity to miss the present."

"What's more, if I go to the future."

"Who's going to build now?"

...

Jinling University.

After finishing the preparatory course, Lu Zhou was invited by instructor Sun and was about to go to the cafeteria to have a meal together. However, just as he left the classroom, he saw Xing Bian and Shi Jin standing outside the classroom waiting for him.

Thinking of something, Lu Zhou slightly tilted his head and said softly.

"Sorry, this meal may have to wait until next time."

The expression on Sun Lan's face was somewhat disappointed.

"Is it your friend?"

For this question, Lu Zhou thought for a while before giving an ambiguous answer.

"That's right."

After dismissing the little girl who was a master's student who wanted to discuss the society a hundred years ago with him, Lu Zhou walked up to the two Security Bureau agents and stopped.

"Come to see me?"

"Well," Xing Bian smiled friendly, "I thought you would be very busy."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to learn, not to mention that the experiment of the second-generation controllable fusion reactor is now at a standstill,"

The more he knows about this world, the more Lu Zhou can feel that he still knows too little. So in addition to the preparatory courses at Jinling University, he also took a course in modern history.

I just don’t know why, but the professor of modern history in the class seems to be a little resistant to him in his own class. Every time he presses the question button, he becomes very nervous...

Xing Bian and Shi Jin looked at each other, and exchanged the weirdness in each other's eyes.

Just as the two were exchanging their gazes, Lu Zhou also looked at the two of them and said.

"What about you? It seems to be quite free."

"It's too busy, but the investigation of the case has stalled." After a pause, Xing Bian continued, "Also, I'm a little confused about Morinaga Yuan... I don't know if it's convenient to ask."

Lu Zhou said casually, "Ask."

"How did you catch Morinaga Yuan?" Seriously looking at Lu Zhou, trying to find out something from those pupils, Xing Bian continued to ask, "After our commandos entered his home, they found a large number of weapons... ..."

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then said with a smile.

"You suspect that I have a similar...weapon on me?"

"Please don't get me wrong, of course I didn't mean that, because the situation at the scene was just the opposite," Xing Bian smiled wryly, and continued, "Let's not talk about the traces of firefights, there are not even traces of resistance. All the bullets left behind Both the bullet marks and the bullet marks were caused by the automatic weapons Morinaga kept at home."

After a pause, Xing Bian continued.

"However, that's what confuses me... how you managed to bring him to justice in the face of an attack of that magnitude."

During the flight N-177 incident, Xing Bian was wondering about it.

The subsequent bomb attack and the bionic turmoil in the outskirts of Jinling, if anyone encounters them, I'm afraid they have already explained where they are. He asked himself, if he didn't have any defenses, it would be very difficult for him to survive such an attack.

However, he seemed to be a normal person, not only didn't feel any nervousness, he didn't even shy away from daily travel, as if he wasn't worried that similar things would happen again.

This is obviously not something that can be explained by a big nerve.

Intuition told Xing Bian that Lu Zhou might have researched some "special drug" that could restrain the Alpha virus, or he had mastered some special technology that could control bionics.

And this technology is likely to become the key to the Alpha virus...

Looking at Captain Xing with fiery eyes, Lu Zhou couldn't help but have a strange expression.

Putting it this way...

It seems really strange.

Facing Ling's attack, those bionics infected with the Alpha virus were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they had no power to fight back.

At that time, he was only concerned about a quick victory, and he really overlooked a problem—that is, winning too easily, to some extent, is more suspicious than barely winning after a hard fight...

How to explain it?

For a while, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel worried.

Sighing, he made up nonsense.

"That's a long story."

However, it is completely different from Lu Zhou's feeling. Hearing this "it's a long story", Xing Bian's heart was overjoyed. Although there was no expression on his face, he immediately said in action: "It's okay, you can take your time." speak!"

"It's okay to talk, but you can't talk here, right?" Lu Zhou looked around and said, "There are so many people here, who knows if anyone is eavesdropping nearby."

Shi Jin hurriedly said: "Don't worry about that...there are agents from the Security Bureau nearby. If you are really worried, our car is nearby, so you can chat in the car."

At the beginning, I didn't propose to talk in the car, mainly because I was worried that the boss would feel offended. Now that Lu Zhou proposed it, it is naturally the best.

However, Lu Zhou did not adopt his suggestion.

"What are you talking about in the car?"

Glancing around, he continued.

"I happen to be hungry too, let's find a place to eat and chat."

Xing Bian nodded immediately.

"No problem, I know there is a good restaurant nearby, I'll book a private room, let's eat and chat... I treat you to this meal!"

"It doesn't matter whoever invites you," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "just drink two bottles with me."

When the time comes, drink two bottles of wine.

This long story should almost be finished.

(Ahem, seeing Lu Zhou's star value, I just want to say that the bosses are awesome!)
