Technological Hegemony

In the early hours of the morning, Luo Jia woke up on time.

As an inheritor of an extraterrestrial civilization, Luo Jia's body and mind have undergone significant changes compared to the past. Even though he drank some wine yesterday, it still couldn't stop him from continuing to be energetic after four hours of sleep.

On the other hand, Professor Ouyang and Ning Zeping, two old people, they slept until the sun was high, and when they got up, they also complained about the brain pain caused by alcohol.

Before it was time for breakfast, Luo Jia lay on the sofa and connected to the Internet with her mobile phone.

Due to the time difference, when the news of the successful experiment came out last night, it was the daytime in the mainstream countries in Europe and the United States, so in just one night, the news was overwhelming, from high-level officials in various countries to ordinary people, all got the historic achievement of Star Technology. News of the breakthrough.

Luo Jia logged on to mainstream social forums in Europe and the United States and watched for a while, feeling the sour smell coming over the surface.

"Look at Huaxia, who has already started to use the Karman vortex effect to generate electricity, but we don't even know where the future is."

"I'm so envious of Huaxia, they have such a powerful scientific research enterprise as Xingchen Technology."

"The next step, I'm afraid Huaxia will have free electricity, right?"

"It's not necessarily free, but the electricity bill is definitely much cheaper than ours. You can turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day, and you don't have to worry about the electricity bill going off the meter. I'm so envious of those Chinese people."

"What's the air conditioner? The Huaxia people have even made a very cheap electric car."

Envy and jealousy are the root of that sour taste. After all, modern life has long been inseparable from electricity, and the price of electricity is a top priority for the people.

Luo Jia then looked at the business forum.

"Our boss called an interim meeting. Considering that the price of industrial electricity in Huaxia will drop significantly in the near future, the boss is considering moving the Vietnamese factory back to Huaxia. It's abominable. Our Vietnamese factory has only been in production for less than two days. year."

"Coincidentally, our company is also the same. The cost of electricity price is too important. It is also a manufacturing industry. We use 0.2 dollars of electricity, and Chinese manufacturers use 2 or 3 cents of electricity. There is no way to compete."

"Hey, China's manufacturing industry already has a cost advantage. If we use cheap electricity, our company may not be a match at all."

"Stop complaining here, learn Chinese as soon as possible, maybe you can make a living in a Chinese-funded enterprise in the future, I can see clearly, with Xingchen Technology, the world will belong to Chinese people sooner or later."

Luo Jia lit a cigarette. As expected, industry and commerce were extremely sensitive to energy prices. Many companies were already considering moving their factories back to China.

In recent years, due to rising domestic wages, many foreign factories have moved their businesses to neighboring Vietnam, Cambodia and other places. After all, the workers there only need a salary of one or two thousand yuan, and the labor cost is relatively cheap.

Assuming that Huaxia's energy costs will be greatly reduced in the near future, their advantage in labor costs will soon be wiped out.

From an economic point of view, energy is the most critical cost of society as a whole.

For example, the factory manufactures the product and then transports it. The cost of electric trucks is much lower than that of fuel trucks, and there is no pollution. The popularization of electrification will definitely lead to a significant reduction in logistics costs.

Maybe in the near future, online shopping will be free of shipping,

Really achievable.

All in all, electricity, as a basic energy source, will bring earth-shaking changes to the entire China once the price is greatly reduced.

Its prospects are broad, no less than a vigorous revolution. In the science and technology forum, some scholars have already believed that the super power generation array of Xingchen Technology is as meaningful as Watt's improved steam engine back then.

It's a pity that this technology is mastered by Xingchen Technology and the Chinese people in the East. The European and American rightists and believers in the mustache will be very unhappy.

Sure enough, in the European and American right-wing forums and military forums, Luo Jia saw too many posts hostile to China, and military fans once again launched a China military assessment.

As we all know, the Huaxia Navy is transforming from near seas to far seas. The number of newly launched warships every year ranks first in the world. Even giant destroyers like 055 have reached the level of launching three ships a year.

With the rapid advancement of the military, coupled with the hurricane in the field of science and technology, the China threat theory is once again rampant.

The posts posted by those military fans are extremely vicious. It seems that they intend to completely dismember China just like they did with the Soviet Union back then.

When Luo Jia watched the right-wing and European and American military forums, he felt unwell. In fact, Luo Jia has been paying attention to safety issues since this year. His parents were going to the Maldives for the Spring Festival. It was Luo Jia who persuaded them stayed in the country.

As for Luo Jia himself, it is estimated that he really has no chance to witness the strength of German industry with his own eyes. This is probably what Luo Jia often talked about, that everything has a price. cost.

The smell of breakfast came from the kitchen, probably because of high metabolism and high energy. Luo Jia's appetite was getting better and better. He felt hungry, so he went downstairs to have breakfast. He drank two bowls of eight-treasure porridge in a row. Four tea eggs, plus two rice dumplings.

An Ran's appetite is also very good, last night he patronized and drank, but actually didn't eat much food.

After breakfast, everyone returned to the beach again.

After the news broke out last night, a large number of people came to watch, and there were also coquettishly dressed Internet celebrities who wanted to take this opportunity to show off, turning their backs to the super power generation array, and flaunting their heads.

Luo Jia is actually not against Internet celebrities. He thinks that as long as a person does not violate the law and does not do things that everyone despises, that is fine. What other people like to do is their freedom.

To understand it simply, Luo Jia's way of thinking should be like this, as long as you don't get in my way, I don't care about you, if you get in my way, I'll kill you.

The police, who had already received the news, also appeared at the experiment site. They pulled up a cordon to keep irrelevant people out of the line.

When Luo Jia and the others arrived, the police took the initiative to let Luo Jia and the others in.

clatter~

Suddenly there was warm applause around. Some of these people came from nearby villages and towns, and some drove from other provinces overnight. When they saw the people from Star Technology entering the arena, they cheered wildly.

"Good job! Come on Star Technology!"

"Steel straight man, I love you guys!"

The little Internet celebrity who was still posing just now blew kisses at Luo Jia's team. In addition, there were many media reporters who kept shooting with long guns and short cannons.

Both Luo Jia and An Ran were a little moved. The vast majority of Chinese people are simple and kind. If you do good things that benefit the country and the people, they will always remember you.

"Are you alright by yourself?"

Luo Jia asked An Ran, An Ran nodded, and patted her chest hard.

Luo Jia glanced at the crowds outside. Although he is already a public figure, it does not mean that Luo Jia likes to appear in the public eye. Too noisy environment will affect Luo Jia's thinking, and for him, thinking is the top priority things.

"You stay here and continue the test. You must collect enough experimental data. The power generation project is too important, and we can't make any mistakes." Luo Jia confessed to An Ran.

Then he was ready to leave. For this project, he had not been home for two weeks. Today he wanted to go home to see his parents.

Ning Zeping and Professor Ouyang intend to stay at the experiment site, so let them do so.

Escorted by Minister of Security Xu Chunbiao, Luo Jia passed through the crowd, got in a car and left the seaside, and returned to the urban area along the road from south to north.

On Huaihai Road, Luo Jia bid farewell to Xu Chunbiao and asked him to go back to the company first, then turned around and opened the door.
