Volume 4: Walking in the Solar System Chapter 36: Everything is possible

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The reason why the future is called the future is that it is uncertain. What can be determined is the repetition of life, not the future.

    Washington is well prepared and the evidence is conclusive. Many media commentary articles say that United Technologies is definitely doomed because it has no strong allies.

    United Technologies has four major competitors, and Citigroup is the first to bear the brunt, because local companies that make money in this country have to get involved, which makes Citigroup very painful in many areas.  Where is Citiland?  Business-oriented society!  The ideology is boring, but the conflict of interest is serious. Anyone with a little knowledge of international politics knows that Washington is looking for loopholes and is preparing to destroy this super fly in one fell swoop.

    The company does not have many allies, and the senior executives of Huaxia, the birthplace of Wesson Technology, have a bad relationship with Li Zhuang.  Japan, Germany, France and the UK are unlikely to like the company, while in Russia's eyes United Technologies is just an exploitable partner.

    ¡°The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to put it bluntly, is a restriction imposed by nuclear-weapon powers to prevent non-nuclear-weapon countries from possessing nuclear weapons. It is not as noble as imagined.  As for the positive meaning that some people say, of course it exists, but it can't stop it.

    When wles was making rapid progress in the field of conventional energy, some people said that it would join the field of atomic energy sooner or later, and this is indeed the case.  It is easy for problems to arise in this field. If a commercial enterprise wants to play but is not licensed by a national agency, it will definitely be smashed into pieces by the powerful.

    United Technologies Corporation often uses gold to stimulate Washington¡¯s nerves during the international trade standoff and refuses to obey its orders.  After the establishment of Weizhou, the development of nuclear bombs accelerated.  The CIA branch in Australia found a loophole and after planning for a long time, Washington launched a nuclear investigation.

    In the eyes of most people, Canberra does not like United Technologies, which has a tendency to isolate Canberra in Australia's political and economic life.  It was obvious that Weizhou had the upper hand, and it was impossible for Lizhuang to surrender to Canberra.  Weizhou's system is very complicated, with two teams, light and dark. Under the strict security system, it is difficult to fully understand the operating system.

    The probability of using oneself to save others is much higher than imagined. Political groups that believe in giving priority to interests have a strong desire for control.  No matter how smart and wise the major forces are, as long as they don't understand the thoughts of "robots", everything will be in vain.  What surprised the crowd who were both sorry and eager to watch was that Canberra took an uncooperative attitude towards the International Atomic Energy Agency's investigation and took the initiative to defend United Technologies.

    Washington was furious, and the result of the quarrel was that Australia announced its withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.  In the face of gold and complex interests, the United Nations failed to pass a sanctions resolution, and Washington launched trade retaliation.

    It doesn¡¯t matter to Li Zhuang. Anyway, Weizhou has plenty of food and drink, everything is available, and there is no shortage of supplies in warehouses everywhere.  The researchers don't care. If they can't go out for fun, they won't go. Australia is big enough and they are too lazy to go abroad.  Washington's high-handedness made the management very angry and intensified the confrontation.

    The biggest casualties in the "Nuclear Bomb Case" were intelligence officers. The Intelligence Bureau of the Company's Security Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been in a state of tension during that period, and had serious conflicts with intelligence agencies from multiple forces.

    This matter ended up being nothing, because Washington was very busy, everyone was very busy, racking their brains to normalize international trade, and barter trade could not keep up with the development of the times. This is not 80 years ago.

    ¡°Everything is possible,¡± this was the title of a comment made by a well-known media that follows United Technologies news after the signing of the supplementary agreement to the ¡°Golden Agreement.¡±  This article reviews the twenty-year development history of United Technologies Corporation, comparing the "nuclear bomb case" and the "house arrest case", saying that they are two junctures in the company's development history.

    The smooth resolution of the "nuclear bomb case" is rooted in United Technologies' Australianization and the company's investment in charity, which has affected the political landscape of many countries.

    Nuclear energy is an advanced energy source. If United Technologies Corporation wants to develop to the extreme in the energy field, it absolutely cannot bypass nuclear energy research.  This field is very sensitive, and many directions are connected. For example, the Institute of Nuclear Physics and the Institute of Engineering Nuclear Physics are actually not very different.  Most physicists are familiar with both fields. With the development of physics today, military and civilian applications are only on a thin line.

    In the early stages of the construction of the experimental reactor, Li Zhuang notified Canberra and asked them to send people to supervise it. Soon after, people from the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived after hearing the news. Seeing that Canberra was watching the matter, they did not stay there because a permanent presence would be a slap in the face.  the behavior of.  Although politicians are very thick-skinned, they cannot tolerate the naked distrust of others. They represent the country.

    "The peaceful use of nuclear energy is very effective. The Institute of Theoretical Physics has done very well in the early stage. Although Xavier always talks about nuclear bombs, he is usually very cautious in doing things and does not look like someone who would make trouble.  Li Zhuang agreed to their establishment of the Institute of Engineering Nuclear Physics, but he was not familiar with this field and did not expectThe company's structure and physicists' enthusiasm for nuclear weapons led to progress well ahead of schedule.

    Computer experts¡¯ thinking is not complicated. Canberra will always have concerns. A supervision team of dozens of people can play its due role. Besides, the Intelligent Brain Group keeps a close eye on the situation and there will be no safety accidents.

    The R&D plan formulated by the management of the Institute of Applied Physics is very carefully considered. If you are not careful, radioactive materials are things that can kill people.  The company's requirement is "safety first" and will not rush their progress. This is also to avoid the common rush for quick success and quick gain in research that can lead to catastrophe.

    There are three types of reactors according to their uses: research and experimental reactors, power reactors and production reactors.  The research experimental reactor has a wide range of uses, using neutrons to conduct research in physics, biology, radiation protection, and materials science.  Power reactors are divided into military power reactors and commercial power generation reactors.  Nuclear-powered ships, including nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, usually use pressurized water reactors because they are the most mature.  The reactors used in commercial-scale nuclear power plants mainly include light water reactors, heavy water reactors, graphite gas-cooled reactors, and fast reactors. The most commonly used light water reactors are pressurized water reactors. The installed capacity of boiling water reactors is far less than that of pressurized water reactors, and unit maintenance is difficult.  .

    As for production reactors, they are mainly used for military purposes. Tritium-producing reactors, plutonium-producing reactors, and tritium-producing and plutonium-producing dual-use reactors are all production reactors.

    When the Institute of Theoretical Physics was established, Li Zhuang thought that nuclear fusion power would not be available in the short term. Besides, Australia still had so much uranium and thorium, it would be a pity not to use it, and it was not in line with the principles of a "businessman."  Spent fuel reprocessing technology must be researched. Nuclear fission power plants on the earth cannot be eliminated within thirty years. After all, the investment is huge.  The disposal of nuclear waste is big business, and there are also radioactive materials that need to be disposed of after the operation of the first-generation deuterium-tritium fusion power plants.  This is a technical defect. The processing technology must be developed first, otherwise the profit margin will be greatly reduced.

    After much deliberation, I can¡¯t escape from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Instead of letting others come and slap me in the face, it¡¯s better to find out what¡¯s interesting first.  Australia's market capacity is limited, and United Technologies is relatively dependent on overseas markets. Li Zhuang is afraid that forces that cannot be dealt with will cause trouble for the company, so the first thing he thinks of is to cooperate with Canberra.

    Wesen Technology is a research and development institution. As long as it accepts orders that meet the regulations, its revenue from R&D orders alone every year can rank among the top ten companies in the world.  It is impossible not to study nuclear energy. Although Australia does not like nuclear power plants, it cannot fall behind the big countries.  Canberra's thinking is probably that if things like uranium ore and coal are hard to sell in the future, they can at least make up for it by collecting taxes from Wisconsin, which is better than having nothing.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The federal treasury gains the most, tax revenue from the Wisconsin system has increased dramatically, so Canberra supports continued expansion here, and no one will be dissatisfied with the money.  Judging from the actions of United Technologies, Wisconsin will only become more and more closely connected with Australia, and will not cause other troubles.

    These are profit-driven, in fact, there are three points: the Treasury wants more money, the military wants nuclear power and nuclear bombs, and United Technologies wants to freely research all advanced energy sources without interference from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    After the establishment of Weizhou, Li Zhuang began to promote Weizhou¡¯s complete integration into Australia¡¯s social system.  The company's management has different ideas. Many people can guess his true intentions, but most people are unwilling to accept it.  What the outside world didn't know was that the computer experts went to great lengths to reach an agreement with the company's top management.  It's not that these people are unintelligent, it's just that most of them have a serious sense of territoriality and always want to establish an independent kingdom.

    "We are researching advanced energy, and there will be more and more troubles. Besides, have you forgotten my original intention of establishing the company? If you choose to fight, you will only be kicked out of Australia. Our enemies and opponents are not only Australian local forces." Li Zhuang remembers his original intention.  That's what I told Zhou Qisen.

    Mr. President knows the reason why many Chinese immigrants choose to return to their country because they are unable to integrate into the social system of the host country.  If you are always out of tune with the surrounding environment, it will be difficult for others to think you are the same kind. Your neighbors are not puppets.

    ¡°There must be no situation where we are pushed down by others. If there is an internal problem in Australia, we will only be disbanded.¡± Li Zhuang told the truth at the ninety-nine-person meeting of the company and stopped hiding it.

    The expressions of the company's top executives varied. Some agreed, some disagreed, and some were undecided.  What surprised Li Zhuang was that Zhou Zhi took the lead in supporting Li Zhuang, saying that we should not be too greedy and that all roads lead to Rome. We can slowly advance the system to other states, so that the resistance we encounter will be greatly reduced.

    The "human essence" high-level managers have settled down, and most of the executive-oriented middle managers support Li Zhuang, which once again proves the powerful influence of the spiritual leader and his special status in the company. "As long as he is still supported by the majority of the people, lazy  The king can take back power at any time."

    The management agrees that core employees who focus on research and development will not have any resistance. Canberra is overjoyed by Weizhou's active integration.Australia's administration is becoming increasingly normalized.  During the company's second adjustment, it had divested itself of a considerable number of businesses. There are hundreds of listed companies on the ASX derived from United Technologies.  What has just been completed is the third adjustment, once again divesting non-core businesses, mainly because there are too many research and development results.

    When Citigroup is looking for trouble, Weizhou has been completely integrated into the Australian social system. People and forces that have nothing to do with Weizhou are basically impossible to find. Even marginalized people can feel the warmth and cold wind from Weizhou.

    Some people think that this is the complete Australianization of United Technologies, while others think exactly the opposite, saying that it is the corporatization of United Technologies in Australia. No matter what kind of transformation, everyone seems to be happy.  United Technologies has paid a lot and received a lot. Other states and Canberra are very happy, but they have to shoulder the trouble for United Technologies.

    ¡°The core documents during the conversion process were kept confidential. Washington was unwilling and unwilling to believe Weizhou¡¯s true intentions, so it brazenly launched a nuclear investigation.  Weizhou is the engine of Australia's economy. Canberra will not be stupid enough to destroy the Great Wall. If the government of a big country does not do good things and insists on being a little brother, then it is a mental problem.  Citigroup has nothing to hold Canberra back, so Canberra's top officials are naturally fearless.

    "The nuclear bomb case" is very complicated, and Li Zhuang's good reputation played an important role in the resolution process. The "robot's" persistence and tendency to yearn for perfection made him a famous philanthropist.  Philanthropists are not supposed to be associated with something as murderous as a nuclear bomb, but anything is possible.

    Some people do not deserve sympathy and do not need sympathy. They have hands and feet, but are unwilling to work and are lazy by nature.  The d&e Charitable Fund mainly does two types of things: one is large-scale mass incidents caused by unrest and natural disasters, which are not based on the will of the individual. Individuals have no resistance in the storm, and the assistance is mainly food and materials; the other is orphanages  , mainly with financial assistance, supplemented by materials.

    Li Zhuang never expected to get anything in return from those he helped, he only did things according to his own heart.  There is an important principle in the working regulations of the d&e Charitable Foundation, "Don't think that you are the savior!" He is disgusted with some politicians who think of themselves as saviors. In fact, without the interference of powerful people, ordinary people can support themselves. There is no such thing."  Pick up the bowl to eat meat and then drop the bowl to curse."

    "Only you can save yourself" is a popular concept of Sunway Education Group. Children in many orphanages under the d&e Charity Foundation have been influenced by this concept for a long time.  Many orphans have been very strong since childhood, have relatively normal psychology and physiology, and have not become a burden to society.

    The operating model of the Alta Education Fund is different from that of the D&E Charitable Fund. It focuses on financial and technical assistance, covering the education system from primary school to university, and has assisted in the construction of nearly 100,000 primary and secondary schools.  The problem of teachers is solved through technical means. The upgrade of the Internet has allowed distance education to flourish, and many schools only have administrative personnel.

    Someone said, "Li Zhuang is playing a big game of chess. This guy is a conspirator and wants to play a subtle strategy."  A computer expert commented on this argument in an interview with reporters, "If they can find a way to save money and have better results, I can accept suggestions; if they can't find it, you can join our team; if it's just to show  With their own existence, I think they can shut up their mouths that promote conspiracy theories all day long.¡±

    Li Zhuang has no conspiracy. He is just influenced by the shadow of his youth and knows that some geniuses will become ordinary people in an abnormal social system.  His requirements for life are not high, but the company's annual earnings and the technical system he developed can earn huge dividends. Even without shares, the income of the first family in Weizhou cannot be used up.

    ¡°My father-in-law was a solid engineer and a well-paid small business owner before, and his wife Lisa was an excellent exterior designer. The royalties from Li Zhuang¡¯s book publishing alone were enough to maintain the family¡¯s superior life.

    "Having enough food and clothing" is the prerequisite for "knowing etiquette" and "knowing honor and disgrace". Whether they are necessary conditions or sufficient conditions, in the modern colorful world, these ancient theories still have a reference effect and can even be used to  Explain some abnormal phenomena.

    Many United Technologies employees believe in this. Facts have proved that as long as people have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, people will have higher spiritual pursuits.  Under the influence of the mixed cultural system and the constraints of the law, the social atmosphere of Weizhou is the best among the states.  After the officers and soldiers of the Australian armed forces stationed in Weizhou retired, most of them chose to settle in Weizhou, and few of these people were Aboriginal people from Weizhou.

    Integration will prevent fierce confrontation between groups. Li Zhuang is not interested in being the king. His goal is to completely integrate United Technologies into and influence Australia's social system.  His plan was successful. The local Australian forces now have no choice but to reason with the company's legal department. It is an impossible task to play conflicts between ourselves and the enemy and incite racial confrontation.

    ReplacementIn other words, United Technologies no longer needs to worry about crowding out the living space of other forces in Australia. The internal battles in the entire country have been greatly reduced, and the management can focus on developing overseas markets.  There are many means, and charity is one of them.

    Charity is a sharp weapon. It can pierce people's hearts. Although the effect is slow, it can touch the goodness deep in people's hearts more than violence, making people unable to resist and unwilling to resist.  True philanthropy is a double-edged sword, giving philanthropists both a good reputation and a heavy burden.

    Charity with conditions can easily be criticized. In recent years, powerful people who have become the butt of jokes because they steal the chicken but lose the rice have often appeared in the newspapers and become negative teaching materials.

    There is no conspiracy among computer experts, and the D&E Charitable Fund and Alta Educational Fund are relatively pure; but the management has a conspiracy, and they take advantage of this purity.  Li Zhuang is an anomaly among the chairman of a large company. He has been pushed several times, but the shareholder council still puts this hat on his head, although everyone knows that according to the company's system, this hat is just a symbol now.

    China is the country that is supported by the two major funds under Li Zhuang¡¯s name because it is the mother country.  It was rare for a "thief" to become a businessman again. He asked Vicky to calculate all the costs including his mental damages and due salary, deducting the extorted technology and copied parts, and came up with a specific amount of about one  Ten billion gold coupons.  This is an astronomical figure even for the rich, but the "thief" did not frown.  He has used various methods to return this money to the people in the tax source areas, mainly food, education, environmental transformation, electricity and orders, etc., with nuclear fusion power plants and environmental transformation as the bulk, killing two birds with one stone.

    The fact that the capital city, which was in full swing of internal strife, did not suffer from the golden storm was related to the idealism of the "thief". Although his purpose was completely different, it objectively helped the ruling forces in the capital stabilize the domestic situation.

    These funds all come from Li Zhuang¡¯s private deposits. The management has no way to interfere and is too lazy to take care of it. However, the relationship circle still knows the details. Some people praise him for being noble, some say he is crazy, and some think it is inconsistent with his pragmatist style.

    Hero Zhou Zhizhou curled his lips disdainfully, "Don't you just want to get rid of your bad reputation? He doesn't care about money, he just enjoys the process of making money. It would be a waste to have so much money idle, so he just spent it all."

    Lizhuang is keen on food aid, and the agricultural group GSAA likes farming. Canned goods are bulk goods in food aid, and canned fruits are the mainstream.  Zhou Zhi also explained, "He felt it was a pity that the fruit was rotten, so he liked to make cans. There was too much old grain, and the market couldn't eat a lot of stock, so he chose to send it to areas where food was scarce, such as Africa."

    Li Zhuang was passionate about teaching and taught more and more students. Zhou Zhi said, "This person is getting lazier and lazier. His style has never changed over the years."

    Li Zhuang is committed to supporting education in backward countries. Zhou Zhi commented, "This man likes to take a long shot to catch big fish! As He Xiuwen said, he is a super master of fishing."

    Even Li Zhuang's preference for special materials is different from everyone else's. "What he likes most is gold. He doesn't care about gems or anything like that. His interest in special materials is not as big as you think. I'm just surprised that he would."  Get an emerald necklace to hang, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s crazy for a gentleman to hang such a necklace?¡±

    "It seems that the computer expert is useless in Zhou Zhi's eyes. If he talks too much, he is considered mentally disturbed, judging others by himself, and is a scumbag with low moral character.

    Zhou Zhi sighed, "These days, telling the truth will not end well. I am a child in the emperor's new clothes." As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at him angrily.  Ren Mingmei couldn't bear it anymore and resorted to ear-picking to drag the arrogant purchasing director home.

    "Hey, this guy is amazing. He can actually guess my true thoughts. It's a pity that not many people can realize it." The computer expert couldn't help but laugh evilly as he recalled the past.

    Weizhou¡¯s desert agriculture is extremely developed. Real high-tech agriculture is being constructed in batches according to the research progress of the Planetary Transformation Research Institute.  Compared with other crops, Weizhou is most famous for its fruits. There are both original varieties suitable for planting in Weizhou and carefully cultivated and improved varieties.

    The Robotics Research Institute has designed various types of special fruit picking robots that operate automatically.  Planting fruit trees is a leisure activity in Lizhuang. It seems that many people have this habit, so the output of various fruits in Weizhou is amazing.

    Most fruits cannot be kept for a long time, so canning is the best choice. However, canned food is very unappetizing if eaten in large quantities, so it is distributed as aid supplies.  Many researchers from Africa even send ships to their hometowns, of course in the name of charity. Charitable donations are generally not subject to import taxes.

    In order to maximize freshness, retain nutrients and reduce harm, the company has developed a variety of advanced technologies to improve the quality of cans. Five of the d&e Charitable Foundation'sThe canneries produce vegetables, fruits, meats, fish and seasonings respectively, and professionals from the agricultural group GSAA are deployed for management.

    United Technologies Corporation¡¯s food standards have always been strict, and Australia¡¯s national standards do not meet the GSAA standards.  These aid supplies were very popular, and the marketing department reported that many cans appeared on the tables of powerful people in some countries. Li Zhuang smiled bitterly and was speechless.

    "It is not easy for others to find fault with things that are done sincerely. The "philanthropist" has not changed his mind. He does not want to deal with it in different levels. Therefore, the d&e Charitable Fund still implements the company's standards.

    The quality of the aid food produced by the company itself is first-class, and we will never use defective products as evidence.  As the computer expert spreads money everywhere, his reputation as a "philanthropist" becomes more and more famous, and the number of beneficiaries gradually expands. Gradually, no one dares to call him "thief" because those who say it are often drowned in saliva.

    "You don't have to take money with you when you live, as long as it's enough, but don't find out you have no money before you die." The computer expert looked at the financial analysis submitted by Vicky and felt that he needed to slow down.

    A good reputation is very important because it can bring a lot of convenience to the owner.  This kind of soft thing is very powerful, whether it is as small as an individual or as large as a group, it is the same, although the effect is much worse at the national level.

    During dinner, Da Mian smiled straight at Li Zhuang, and the computer expert felt baffled, "Why are you so happy?"

    "A group has nominated you as a presidential candidate, saying that your age, qualifications and reputation are enough. Haha, maybe the Wilson family will produce a president."

    Li Zhuang was stunned, "Let me be the president? Is there any mistake? Who came up with the idea? Australia has a parliamentary system, and I have no interest in being a puppet!"

    "What if the president is not a puppet?"
