v2 Chapter 962： [Envy and jealousy of Assaulter]

In mid-December, the basic communication network was established, and Xiaona, the only strong artificial intelligence that has been dormant so far, was awakened by Luo Sheng again.

At present, the domestic communication network system is repaired, and it barely covers the two core economic belts and some important areas such as coastal areas and the capital area. A certain communication network has also been restored in North America, thanks to Elon Musk’s spaceX company. .

Ironically, Nasa has not been able to get funding until now. In the end, private companies have to solve the problem. Right now in North America, the wealthy areas with a small amount of knowledge that can enjoy communications and network services are not available to the general public.

If this trend continues, only when Star Arrow International’s “Stars Project” realizes global networking will it be possible to achieve global networking, and it will not be possible until the second half of next year at the earliest.

However, even if there is an internet connection, for many ordinary people, it does not mean that they will be able to resume their lives before the storm. There must be electricity, and it will also depend on how local telecom operators and power companies do.

As for Ouzhou, it is basically impossible to restore a decent communication system on its own, but it did not sit still.

The Middle East was almost resuming the Internet, and the people in Ouzhou couldn't bear it at first sight. In the end, they fell face and asked for help.

...

On December 23, the Eurozone brought a business negotiation team to Sioux City, and the headed person in charge called Williams.

In the morning, his special plane landed successfully at Sioux City International Airport. Frankly speaking, there are not many planes currently available to the Ouzhou people. Most of them are in a basic state and are replacing electronic components.

After leaving the terminal, Williams and a group of foreigners rushed to the rest of the Hyatt Hotel in a special car.

"Drive slowly!"

Williams gave an order to the driver. He wanted to look at the city situation on the Chinese side, and he was watching along the way.

"Unbelievable, this ability to recover is terrible, where does it look like it should have been suffered from a natural disaster that has never been seen before in human history?" Williams observed the weather of the city through the car window along the way, and felt very deeply. The shock, the envy and jealousy in his eyes are also undisguised.

Anyway, there is no one else in the car and there is no need to do too much facial expression management.

In Williams’ eyes, Sioux City at this moment did not seem to have suffered a natural disaster at all. The streets were bustling with people, and there was no hesitation in the expressions of the citizens of this city that he saw. There is no fear.

The operation of the whole city is orderly. Local citizens should go to work, go shopping and go shopping. Some young people with heads down touch their phones and keep watching...

All of this makes Williams' envy difficult to conceal.

It is worth mentioning that, regardless of the popularity and hustle and bustle of Sioux City, there are still more than 5 million people living in this city, and the next-door Shanghai City has reached 8 million.

Before the storm, Sioux City had a population of 16.85 million including the floating population. The other 10 million people would have gone to the countryside long ago, otherwise it would be more lively.

As the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt has begun to recover, some people have begun to return to the city from the countryside, but the city still controls the influx of people very strictly, and only those who need the current economic recovery can enter the market first.

There is no way to strictly limit the inflow of population. Too many people entering the city at this knot will greatly increase the operating cost of the city. There are very few communities that can be connected to electricity. On the one hand, it is necessary to restore power to the substation. Enough power supply.

At the same time, the cables in each district and building must be checked one by one, and those damaged by electric pulses must be replaced.

Including cables buried under the ground have to be investigated, and major cities across the country will soon begin to dig roads and re-lay cables.

Electricity can be connected only after the safety hazard is removed, and the current electricity bills are also very expensive. Household electricity costs 45 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which is also limited. Basically, people who do not have a mine at home cannot use electricity.

The current financial pressure is actually quite heavy. The wealthy pay more for electricity. Electricity companies are all state-owned enterprises, which is equivalent to indirect cutting off the rich people’s leeks, which can be regarded as willing to fight and suffer.

At the same time, the expensive cost of living in cities can also restrain the willingness of large-scale population to flow into cities. Seeing that the cost of living in cities is so high, citizens are naturally willing to spend more time in the countryside.

At present, most people entering the city mainly seek medical treatment.

And some villages are not without electricity. This storm indirectly pushed a large number of intellectuals to go to the countryside, and they were also panicked.

At this time, there are many science and engineering men who can’t get free to give full play to the power of the group, using limited resources and equipment to build generators, generate electricity by themselves, such as biogas power generation, hydropower generation, etc., to make full use of natural resources.

Many villages have reservoirs and rivers. A large group of idle college students and men in science and engineering are also busy building rivers and dams, pounding a potential energy gap, and setting up a temporary small hydropower station to supply the electricity demand of the village Not to mention.

Such things are not uncommon in villages all over the country, and Chinese people will never wait to die.

The so-called tree moves to die and people move to live is this principle.

—————

Of course, the problem is not small, and the hidden dangers are not without it. After all, there is no standardization and standardization, and there is not even a license. There can be no hidden dangers at all.

However, in this extraordinary period, one eye is closed. There is no approval, but there is no disapproval. It is all based on comprehension, but everyone's comprehension is obviously understood, but the meaning will be unspeakable.

However, it was said that the European business negotiating team that came to Sioux City had a rest day at the Hyatt Hotel that day, and would meet with Luo Sheng the next day.

Hyatt Hotel is currently the only high-end hotel business in Sioux City that has resumed power supply. The cost of water and electricity is dozens of times higher than usual. However, if you want to stay in a hotel at this time, the price is also sky-high, basically only the rich can afford it. .

According to previous examples, such high-standard business negotiations are usually reserved for the Hyatt Hotel, but at the moment the entire Sioux City is such a high-end hotel that is operating normally, it is not realistic to drive people out, and basically all It's the rich people, they might make trouble for you.

For a series of reasons, Luo Sheng also directly invited Williams to his technology complex building for this business negotiation.

The people in Ouzhou are actually worried. After all, Luo Sheng’s house cannot guarantee that the content of the negotiations between the two parties will not be recorded. There are scientific and technological equipment everywhere, which is also heard.

However, there are not too many options at the moment. Williams and others are also very clear about this, and finally agreed to conduct the business negotiation in Luo Sheng's private residence.

...

The next day.

Earlier this morning, the front entrance of the Science and Technology Complex was guarded by more than one hundred journalists. What is interesting is that there are more foreign faces, especially European media organizations who have commissioned reporters.

The domestic media and people who eat melon really don't care much about this international business negotiation. Most people are more concerned about the current development of their country.

The people in Ouzhou are very concerned about this business meeting. UU Reading can't count on the beautiful country, and they can't protect themselves, especially the recent rise of the number one person Kevin Salon. , The beautiful country is also noisy and joyous now.

As a matter of fact, the people of Ouzhou are also very afraid of the number one person like Kevin Saron. If he gains power, Europe will have enough to drink a pot, so the European and American elites all hope that the number one person like Kevin Saron will die soon.

The fact that they came to ask for help this time was actually the result of being forced. The elites in Ouzhou knew that they couldn't just let the mess go, or just get things done. Whenever the people at the bottom got upset, they would be dealt with.

The elites on Ouzhou's side do not want a character like Kevin Saron to appear on their own territory to destroy their lives.

At 10:30 in the morning, the reporters on the scene saw a train fleet approaching. It was surprising that Williams and others arrived on time. The outer door of the Science and Technology Complex opened slowly, and Williams' convoy drove into the building.

The reporters on the sidelines kept catching them, especially the European media reporters, who were very concerned about today's business talks, which is of incalculable significance to the economic recovery of the continent.
