"How many people are there in the Minos Alliance? In other words, how many people are there in the Sky City?"
The meeting at the United Nations Headquarters continued until the evening. Now, Zhuo Wenyi faced questions from representatives from all over the world.
He was sitting in his seat, the camera was pointed at him, a close-up of him was on the big screen, and all the serious-looking representatives from various countries in the audience were wearing headsets and ready to listen to his answer.
"Close to 700 people. In that city, there are less than 700 people, but the number will definitely increase in the future."
Hearing this answer, assuming it is true, will make everyone at the scene breathe a sigh of relief.
An organization with less than 700 people can relax people's nerves more than tens of thousands.
But some people raised doubts.
"Sir, you have less than 700 people, but you can build a city floating in the sky. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Such a question shocks many people. On the other hand, they think, it is indeed true. What can 700 people do? Can you create that kind of achievement in just a few years?
I¡¯m afraid even 700,000 people may not be able to do it.
Zhuo Wenyi was calm and composed, took out his mobile phone, called up some pictures from the picture library, and then transmitted them to the system controller at the meeting site, and then displayed the pictures on the big screen.
Everyone saw many machine graphics appearing on the big screen, some of which were strange in shape, and some of which seemed to be able to determine their functions.
"In the beginning, we did not build cities, but machines. These are multi-purpose machines independently developed by us. They only need one to three people to control them, and they can complete the physical work of hundreds or thousands of people. I also It can be said frankly that the degree of mechanization of the Minoan Union far exceeds the world level."
Everyone here looked at the mechanical pictures. There is envy and greed in their hearts, and many people are determined to establish a cooperative relationship with the Minos Alliance. In the era of mechanization, the development of mechanization is the modern mainstream production standard, and scientific and technological productivity is the primary productive force.
"Where does your wealth come from? To create this. The wealth required is probably not a small amount, and there are many ways to get rich in the world. We hope you can tell us that the wealth of the Minoan Alliance is through formal and legal Obtained through channels.¡±
Faced with this problem, everyone held their breath. In fact, the channels for obtaining wealth in each country are similar, including taxation, but the sources of taxation are different. Some countries prohibit prostitution. Some countries allow it, some countries allow the sale of guns, and some countries prohibit it. The same is true for drugs in a hierarchical system, so. The definition of good and evil is not determined by God or controlled by humans.
Zhuo Wenyi sighed inwardly at such an ambiguous question. This is someone with bad intentions.
In a sense, wealth is a country, an organization, a family, and an individual. The lifeblood of survival!
If he frankly informs everyone about the source of the wealth of the Minos Alliance and where it is stored, then it will be equivalent to handing over his life to these people. If they have evil intentions and want to deal with the Minos Alliance, at least they will know one of the flaws. .
The so-called legality is simply nonsense.
Is it legal?
Which country¡¯s law does it comply with?
Zhuo Wenyi said calmly without changing his expression: "The wealth of our Minoan Alliance has accounts in major offshore financial centers around the world. If anyone here is interested, you can negotiate with financial institutions in offshore financial centers to investigate our accounts. information to see if it is legal and formal.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue fell into silence.
Those who are curious about the source of the wealth of the Minoan Alliance and their wealth and strength have to stay away.
Putting money in offshore financial centers, ordinary people intuitively think that it is to avoid laws and high taxes, but what they ignore is the legal barriers between countries.
No matter which country¡¯s representatives are here, even representatives from offshore financial center countries, they will not check the accounts of the Minoan Alliance. That would provoke a war between countries!
Even the United States must unite with European official financial organizations to sanction Switzerland, and use the banner of justice to track down tax evasion predators. Only then can it force Swiss banks to abandon the principle of customer confidentiality that has been observed for a century and hand over some suspects in a controlled manner. The list of people's accounts is given to the United States, and this kind of thing does not happen every day. There are so many financial offshore centers around the world. The reasons that attract customers to open accounts there, besides low taxes and loose laws, are naturally kept confidential.
"If any country tries to challenge the rules of offshore financial centers, which is simply to cut off their economic lifeline, then there will definitely be people who are desperate.
Zhuo Wenyi¡¯s answer was dissatisfying but helpless. The discussion on wealth ended here. Next, many questions were placed in front of Zhuo Wenyi, and he answered them all calmly.
Just when the sky in New York, USA, became dark and deep, above the clouds in the South Atlantic Ocean, an F22 Raptor fighter jet, like a ghost in the dark night, flew eastward. The fifth-generation fighter jet has super stealth capabilities and supersonic cruise capabilities. The king of the sky.
The meeting at the United Nations Headquarters has been going on. This is not a war of words, just ordinary questions and answers.
Zhuo Wenyi faced questions, answered everyone¡¯s doubts, and let representatives from various countries understand the Minoan Alliance so that the world could accept them.
"Sir, you have less than 700 people now, but you said that the number will increase in the future. With the world's leading scientific and technological power, will you establish a new country in the future? The Minoan Alliance came to participate in person. What are your demands for this meeting? What kind of status do you expect to gain in the world?"
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and the meeting was about to end. At the end, someone finally asked the question that everyone had been curious about from the beginning!
Zhuo Wenyi stood up slowly. Because he was sitting in the first row, he turned around and faced everyone with a serious face.
¡°The purpose of the United Nations is to respect the human rights and freedoms of all human beings, regardless of gender, race, language, religion. To maintain international peace and security, and to live in friendship with every organization or country. We, the Minoan Union, also hold the view to working with all people in the world. We are here with the intention of getting along well. We are not asking for anything. We are just informing the representatives of each country here and conveying our voices to all corners of the world. The Minoan Union simply existed in this world. We did not establish a country. The intention, if we must define a status, is to ask the United Nations to treat us as an entity rather than a sovereign state, like the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem. If someone is in danger and needs help, we will reach out. If someone tries to provoke us and violate our most basic human rights and freedoms, we will fight back. On the premise of equality and friendship, we can establish good relations with anyone."
Xia Qingying and He Min teased Tang Wan endlessly without feeling tired at all, while Chen Haoqiang yawned and felt sleepy. Looking at the time, it was already past midnight.
Zhang Pengyun came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and rest. I'll keep an eye on him tonight."
Chen Haoqiang is not being pretentious. It is normal to take turns on duty anyway. He got up to clean up the water glasses on the table, then got dressed and planned to go home.
Tang Xin stood in the corridor outside the door, smoking and emptying his mind.
Situ Yanxin stood beside him and said, "You, a master who has tortured all over Tianhai South District, don't look very good."
Having not played chess for a long time, Tang Xin was a little unfamiliar. But after playing chess with that computer for three hours, he not only failed to win a game, but he seemed to have no hope of winning!
This gave him the urge to smash the computer. But I still came out to smoke a cigarette with great restraint.
Tang Xin's attention was not focused on chess for the moment. He suddenly realized a problem and muttered to himself: "Man-machine battles are not uncommon. At first, the world champion Vladimir lost to the wise Fritz, and later there were My idol Kasparov avenged his defeat to Deep Blue in 1997, but in the end he could only be tied with the wise Fritz. The draw was already very difficult, because the wise Fritz could calculate five million chess moves per second! Later, Nine years ago, Ukrainian doctor Andrei defeated Ryback 4, the world's strongest chess computer program, in Kiev, becoming the first chess player to defeat a computer program. However, Andrei spent eight months researching in order to defeat the computer. The chess computer program, Situ, has read and studied three thousand chess books. Could the program in this computer be stronger than Ryback 4?"
After Tang Xin finished speaking, he turned around and stared at Situ Yanxin with evil eyes.
The opponent lowered his head and was still trying to challenge the computer program, and said with a smile: "Well, yes, a human-machine war was held in Austria this year. In the past few years, there have been news of world chess players defeating computer programs, so someone developed a newer one. A powerful computer program invited chess players from all over the world to participate in the battle. As a result, history was refreshed. The computer program won a battle with human wisdom. Chris got the computer program and used it for my entertainment. "
"Entertainment?! What the hell is this called entertainment? This is pure self-abuse! There is absolutely no hope of winning the chess game. If you continue, you will be looking for trouble!"
Tang Xin threw away the cigarette butt and was very angry.
He is not a genius. Even if a genius wants to defeat a computer program, it will take him a year and a half.
Just when Tang Xin was furious, Chen HaoqiangAs he walked out of the door, an alarm sounded from the surveillance system inside the door.
Chen Haoqiang's listless expression immediately turned serious and cold. He walked quickly back to work, and everyone else was busy. Tang Xin immediately ran into the room and held his daughter Tang Wan in his arms. The little baby had already fallen asleep.
He Min looked at the alarm of the scanning system, turned his head and said solemnly: "A fighter plane is approaching, and the speed is extremely fast, faster than the F35!"
¡°It will take a few minutes for the satellite image to arrive.¡±
Xia Qingying also said in a deep voice.
Tang Xin held his daughter and looked around. There was tension in the words of these people. Even he was affected and made himself a little nervous. His biggest worry was that he was afraid of bumping into the daughter in his arms.
Zhang Pengyun suddenly shouted: "There are missiles coming from above!"
missile? !
Is this going to start a war?
But within a few seconds, Zhang Pengyun turned around and said in shock: "The target of the missile was not us! Did it miss? It shouldn't have happened. That supersonic speed was wasted!"
Zhao Qing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The missile target is below us!"
Everyone was shocked, even Tang Xin was caught off guard and his expression was dull.
There was no time for them to think about it, but in the sky the F22 Raptor fighter jet turned around and returned after launching its missile, and disappeared into the sea of ??clouds, without even its shadow appearing in sight.
And the missiles with flaming tails shot rapidly from the sky to the ground. Most of the media staff from various countries sitting in front of the campfire below the Sky City had gone into their tents to sleep, and only a few of them were still chatting.
The fire streaked across the sky, illuminating the night shrouded in darkness. Those people looked up and saw only a dazzling light.
