Usually, opportunities are accompanied by crises, and changes will inevitably bring turmoil.
Wen Hezhi and others could naturally foresee this kind of crisis hidden under the great changes.
However, there is no way.
Compared with the crisis of alien invasion, this kind of crisis can only be regarded as a weak wave. Even if the news of an imminent alien invasion is leaked, it will cause turmoil far beyond the current level.
The panic caused may directly lead to the collapse of order.
Therefore, they had already set the main tone for the next period of time when they were discussing.
Maintain order, work together, and prepare for war!
At this moment, the reporter answered that all the information disclosed can only be regarded as part of "maintaining order", in order to maintain social order during the construction of the planet fortress and even the large-scale shift of the center of gravity.
In the entire interstellar society, human civilization is still too small, so small that any impact will have an unimaginable impact.
However, there is no other way but to push through with all your strength.
…
In the end, this day will inevitably go down in history, and it will end with the end of the question and answer session. If Wen Hezhi does not force the end, I am afraid that it will last for three days and three nights, which will not be enough to answer the questions of all reporters and media.
Until the end, the reporters were still raising their hands excitedly to ask questions, and they were unwilling to leave after the announcement. Even most of the audience was also deeply immersed in excitement. I don’t know how many people will have sleepless nights tonight.
In fact, even Wen Hezhi and others did not want to sleep.
They must hold a meeting immediately to discuss the next series of things.
And then there's still the meeting.
Still a meeting!
Not only them, countless conferences and discussions around the world will be held intensively in the next long period of time to prepare for this great change.
On the contrary, Shen Shi, the figure at the center, could get a moment of leisure.
He has now returned to his spaceship. Looking at the various voices on the Internet that are still gaining popularity, he is also keenly aware of the crisis hidden beneath these voices.
"Have people already begun to boycott Xinghai?" Shen Shi frowned while reading a news article about the parade.
They are not conspiracy theory enthusiasts, nor are they ardent enthusiasts of aliens, but some people who are bankrupt in the stock market, or are worried that they will lose their jobs, and are worried that the skills they have mastered will be completely useless with the arrival of the sea of stars. .
But this is inevitable.
With the development of technology, there will always be some professions that will completely become history.
And some skills and knowledge will be eliminated and become useless.
I don’t know how many people’s status, identity, and wealth will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Shen Shi also understood that if such a voice is allowed to continue to expand, it may even have an impact beyond his expectations. Chaos within a civilization is still a trivial matter, but in an interstellar war, such chaos, Maybe it will be used by the enemy.
It is already a weak party, but it needs to integrate internal resources and unite all forces.
So, we can only rely on the guidance and control of official forces?
Shen Shi's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
To be honest, he has always had a "positive evaluation" of what he has done in his heart.
Whether it is trading planetary fortresses to resist alien invasions, or providing technology to accelerate the development of civilization, they are essentially helping the entire human civilization and changing the destiny and future of mankind.
As a human being, this can definitely be considered a great achievement.
No one can question this.
But right now, the negative impact he has brought is real. He cannot deny that the rapid development of technology will inevitably bring pain to quite a few people.
This realization made Shen Shi feel a little uncomfortable.
"No..." Shen Shi suddenly whispered in his heart, "The development of science and technology should bring more benefits..."
I almost got into a misunderstanding.
The tips of his brows gradually calmed down.
Even if there is no alien invasion, the establishment of Xinghai Company and the powerful technologies it brings should be more beneficial to civilization, including those who are currently resisting Xinghai, and will also gain greater benefits from it, and It must be far more than what they lost.
"Todd and the others should have seen this result a long time ago and know the solution. Even if I know enough about the future world, my vision in this regard is still not comparable to theirs." Shen Shi murmured, But he didn’t belittle himself, “But after all, I have a trump card that they can’t match.”
He opened the information library, searched for the information he wanted, and already had an idea in his mind.
But he didn't do anything first.
Instead, he continued to learn about interstellar warfare and planetary fortresses. After all, it won't be long before the military commanders on Blue Star will also be trained in relevant knowledge. If he doesn't want to lose the initiative, he needs to work harder.
At the same time, he did not forget to continue to pay attention to social trends.
Of course, on the second day, the entire Blue Star was filled with Xinghai Company news.
The movement it brought was far greater than the day before.
Even those who don’t pay much attention to the Internet or even the news are already aware of this sudden great change sweeping the world.
Xinghai Company is truly known to everyone.
But as expected, after the initial excitement and excitement passed, facing an unprecedented era, uneasiness began to come in like a tide.
People keep complaining on the Internet.
"Can I drop out of foreign language studies? Or should I transfer to another school?"
"I never dreamed that the job I had spent twelve years fighting for would one day be destroyed by alien technology."
"Our company has stopped recruiting."
"Hahaha, I'm bankrupt, hahahaha, all the money is gone!"
"What does this mean? I just wrote it and suddenly my blood collapsed. Reality is more exciting than fantasy. Who the hell wants to read fantasy!"
"..."
There are more and more similar voices. After all, these are changes that are actually happening to people.
It is deeper than the desire for the future.
Even Shen Shi's original script-killing store has seen a sharp decline in customer traffic in the past few days.
As some people have said, the reality at the moment is exciting enough. People do not need to rely on such entertainment activities for emotional stimulation, and they may not be in the mood.
And this phenomenon is relatively good in Dongguo.
In Ximeng, where the market is more sensitive and fragile, it has been a disaster in the past few days!
The huge shock caused the entire stock market to plummet on a large scale, countless companies experienced economic crises, and even a large number of investments that had been smoothly advanced were wiped out. All of this triggered a new round of chain reactions, causing the entire market to collapse in a short period of time. Within, an unprecedented storm broke out!
This drastic change is far more severe than any previous stock market crash, and even more serious than any previous financial crisis!
There are even countless people who were originally in good economic conditions, but overnight everything was reduced to nothing.
What's more serious is that he even lost his job.
Hawthorne is such an unlucky guy.
Proficient in eight real languages, he was originally a senior translator in a law firm, with a generous salary and a good reputation.
When Xinghai Company first appeared, he watched the entire live broadcast of the press conference. Like everyone else, he was excited and screamed for the incredible space elevator.
As for his powerful translation ability, he didn't have much to worry about.
After all, his advantage is not at all in the translation of everyday language.
Rather, it is in the field of professional translation for lawyers.
He even has his own way of translating some special legal provisions, and this is his trump card for having such a status.
However, this naive idea only lasted for three short days.
The first is the violent turmoil in the stock market. As a high-income Ximeng native, he has no savings of his own at all. All his funds have been invested in the stock market or other investments. But in just two days, just two days , all his investments, whether it was technology stocks that were popular in the past or medical stocks that have endured for a long time, were all liquidated under the influence of leverage!
Yes, he was broke.
Like countless others.
Fortunately, he still has a well-paying job.
But on the fourth day, he received the dismissal notice.
"You can't do this!" Hawthorne's roar almost echoed throughout the entire law firm. "Without me, you wouldn't be able to provide services to foreign language clients! Let's not even talk about whether the damn translation machine can translate legal provisions. , even if it is possible, have you got it yet?"
"I'm deeply sorry, but I'm also bankrupt." Hawthorne's boss, an elite lawyer, also looked pale at this moment. "I still owe a lot of debt, and I can no longer support your salary."
"..." Hawthorn opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
In the end, I seemed to be discouraged and left the law firm without thinking.
Because he knew that he was afraid that he would not even be able to get compensation.
The next few days were like a nightmare - he couldn't find a job.
When everyone heard the translation, they shook their heads repeatedly and did not even look at his extremely gorgeous resume. Hawthorn never thought that the career he was proud of would suddenly face such an end.
The increasingly scarce savings are telling him the outcome of his future.
——Living on the streets.
It wasn't until a week after Xinghai appeared that he was almost completely desperate when he received a call.
"Hey Hawthorne, we need you."
Just the first sentence he spoke made Hawthorn severely shaken.
The words he hears most these days are "we don't need you."
"Who are you?" he even asked in disbelief.
"We are the Boycott Xinghai Association."
"who?"
"Boycott the Star Sea Association." The other end of the phone said, "Have you read the newspapers and the news? The most reprinted report recently, "Why Humanity Doesn't Need the Star Sea," was written by us. There are a large group of people here who have experienced the same thing as you. , we must unite to expose the conspiracy of Xinghai Company and the alien, and save all mankind."
"..." Hawthorne was a little confused.
He remembered that he had indeed read this report, and even thought that what it said was very reasonable. The human being who claimed to have returned, perhaps an alien, had brought such huge chaos and influence in just a few days. There are so many people, and it is even foreseeable that it will affect more people in the future!
You are not the only victim!
Just thinking of this, Hawthorn's eyes seemed to be full of hatred.
"I'm in," he said.
"Great." The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised at all. "Now, we need you to stand up, make your voice heard in the media, and tell your story. Many people will be like you. Also, you have to be careful. Our officials have either been hypnotized by aliens or seduced by aliens. They have become accomplices of aliens. You know what kind of virtue those people are... .”
Hawthorn nodded repeatedly.
Yes, this is a huge conspiracy.
Aliens have taken control of the world's top leaders, and their purpose is to rule the world without bloodshed. Disrupting the economy is only the first step. They must unite and call on more people to realize this.
After hanging up the phone, Hawthorn felt energized once again.
He took out his mobile phone and had already thought of many words in his mind. As an elite with outstanding writing talent, he was confident that his words could affect many people.
However, the first time he turned on his phone, he saw a message that had been posted ten minutes ago and had already gone viral on the Internet.
[Xinghai Company announced the first batch of technology lists! 】
Technology list?
Hawthorne was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this technology list refers to the alien technology provided by Xinghai Company!
With some trembling, he opened the official website of Xinghai Company and found this list.
Sure enough, with just a cursory scan, he saw the list of "Universal Translation Software". Even after clicking on it, it said "Applicable to any known language, any place, and any environment"!
It’s over!
This software is even free!
Hawthorn's vision went dark.
Even if he hadn't downloaded the software and tried it, he had already foreseen the outcome, that is, the abilities he had worked so hard to develop over the past dozen years would become useless!
Humans don’t need the sea of stars!
Hawthorn gritted his teeth, feeling that he was full of resentment towards Xinghai and the man who claimed to have returned from the alien world.
But just when he was about to express this resentment and emotion through words, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a series of praises on the global channel bar reserved on the Xinghai official website.
"Is this true? It's really amazing!"
"I declare that Xinghai is God!"
"Ah ah ah, I can't wait!"
"When can I get the product? I'm willing to pay any price!"
"I'm so excited that I can't sleep!"
