Chapter 145

After saying goodbye to Li Zhendong and greeting several friends, Zhang Yuan came to the report office and met academician Ding, the teacher who had been away for a long time.

"Zhang Yuan, we haven't seen each other for a thousand years. In the twinkling of an eye, you are already a senior youth in your 1000s. " Academician Ding was in a good mood and made a little joke.

"Teacher..."

Zhang Yuan quietly found that academician Ding was much older and looked like an old man in his 70s and 80s.

It may be because there are many times of waking up. Fortunately, with some longevity drugs in the biological laboratory, people in their 70s and 80s are not as old as before, but are still in the vigorous period of their career.

Academician Ding patted him on the shoulder: "this new year is mainly prepared for the new civilization historiography conference. It will be three months later. If you have anything to say, you can bring it up at that time. "

"By the way, we have read your doctoral thesis. It is not difficult to pass the reply. But only a doctor in the history of new civilization, equivalent to a doctor of science. "

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "doctor of science should be ok..."

Another old professor also smiled and said, "I think the psy function you proposed is still of great reference value... I have a few questions to ask you."

Several people talked for an hour about academic aspects and what happened on earth.

Since it is the new year, it is bound to be more busy. Equipment such as nuclear power plants have to be repaired and inspected, and all aspects of the spacecraft will be checked in an all-round way, including communication devices, inventory, etc.

"You just woke up from hibernation and haven't fully recovered yet. Let's have a rest for a week."

"Learn about the whole spacecraft and the changes of earth civilization..."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yuan returned to his bedroom.

It's time to understand the latest progress of earth civilization.

I checked my luggage and found that my mobile phone was broken and I couldn't open it, but the tablet computer could still be used. He was a little suspicious. Maybe he won't be able to use his tablet next time he wakes up. At that time, I can only get a very old black-and-white working computer.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yuan sat in front of the computer and took a deep breath.

I remember the last time he hibernated, with Mars as the dividing line, there was a cold war in the internal and external political circles of the solar system.

The main reason is the class contradiction caused by the gap between the rich and the poor.

The cold war is just a way to shift internal contradictions.

He sighed in his heart: "I don't know whether it has been solved now, 500 years later. The cold war can't last 500 years? "

Click on the oldest report: "Hello, colleagues of the earth times and the golden sun. I'm Ding Quan, President of the deep space foundation... "

Familiar opening remarks bring people a very reassuring feeling.

Under the impact of time, the earth civilization has long been changed, and all familiar things gradually disappear. The deep space foundation is already the only trusted organization on earth.

"Under the cloud of war, internal contradictions are gradually slowing down and populist sentiment is rising," the report said

"I regret to inform you that the deep space foundation belongs to the inner political circle of the solar system... We have no way to know all kinds of data about the inner political circle."

Including economic data, Engel coefficient, Gini index, industrial index, etc., the deep space foundation can only estimate through various external performance.

"But unfortunately, relying on the cold war to solve internal contradictions, new problems soon emerged..."

The first problem is that house prices on earth are beginning to collapse.

War is imminent, and even a local war has broken out on the Martian battlefield. Under this risk preference, house prices can not continue to rise. In addition, people just want to hide away from Venus and mercury, which are farther away from the battlefield.

More and more people began to sell their houses on earth and flee to safer mercury and Venus. Finally one day, house prices began to collapse.

The speed of the collapse is so fast that even the government departments have not responded to make response decisions. In just one year, the rooms in many cities have been directly cut off.

The collapse of house prices has turned many people with mortgages into negative assets overnight.

Since all negative assets, what mortgage?

So this group of negative equity people broke the contract directly, didn't want the house, patted their ass and ran away from the earth.

In this case, the bank is miserable. It has to accept a lot of non-performing assets and can't deal with it in this bad economic environment.

Coupled with various asset transfers and runs, banks also began to lose support.

As a result, as soon as the Bank fell, the capital chain broke sharply, and other industries began to fall one after another

A tsunami like financial crisis swept the global political circle and caused great damage to the whole economy!

The original earth political circle, relying on the two heavy industrial bases of mercury and the moon, and the earth with deep foundation, has much stronger economic strength than the external political circle. However, after some financial baptism, the strength has been greatly damaged, and the two sides have reached the same starting line.

Zhang Yuan sighed.

Click to open the next report, which starts with bad news.

"Hello, colleagues of the earth times and the golden sun. I'm Ma Tengfei, President of the deep space foundation... "

"... I regret to inform you that the budget of the deep space foundation has been reduced again because of the economic downturn. We can't afford the high cost of sending messages next time. "

"I'm sorry."

"We promise that when the funds are enough, we will find a way to send the next message."

"I'm really sorry."

The president said many "I'm sorry" in a row.

Taking light years as the scale, sending a huge amount of information in Pb does require a huge amount of money.

From this report, with the passage of time, the interval between messages sent by the deep space foundation began to grow. Up to now, no one will recall the original ambitious deep space plan. When the economy was in the doldrums, everyone just cared about themselves.

Zhang Yuan doesn't know how to describe his mood.

Deep space foundation, the original behemoth, finally went to real decline in the wind and rain

In various intermittent reports, we can know that the cold war lasted a total of 120 years.

Destruction is always easier than construction. Various space weapons can't directly destroy the planet, but they can easily destroy all kinds of ecosystems.

For example, in various space cities, a few lasers can leak the air inside. The laser can't intercept anything at all; The huge earth is simply a moving target. It is too easy to destroy the ozone layer with various weapons. However, it can greatly change the earth's ecological environment

In particular, all kinds of genetic weapons and biological and chemical weapons have very small cost and great destructive power. It is too easy to kill on a large scale.

In such a tightrope situation, governments of all countries have been timidly restrained, and the war that broke out locally is only carried out on Mars.

Just like the original nuclear deterrence, the maximum deterrence is when the nuclear bomb is on the launcher. We fight for the economy, but we don't want to cause a huge rebound and exterminate ourselves.

In this way, over the past 120 years, no one has completely annihilated me. Under the condition of long-term consumption, the weariness of war in all regions is rising day by day.

So, the opportunity for peace finally came slowly

"Hello, colleagues of the earth times and the golden sun. This summer is a year of melting glaciers. We have ushered in real peace! Thanks to the world, maybe our civilization can get out of the trough. "

Zhang Yuan's spirit was refreshed.

A great man named "Quincy" appeared on the earth and delivered a century speech. Under various opportunities, he really promoted the peace of the whole world.
