It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 374: Surreal Future City
When Musk proposed to replicate Alpha's strategy in Lion City, the PayPal gang members present were very interested.

Everyone was discussing how to achieve this goal, and no one suggested that we couldn't do this.

This is a group of people who don't have much idea of ​​rules. Alpha has already made a sample for them, and everyone knows how to play the game by following suit.

In their view, it's time for the world to change.

Musk has always said that he wants to go to Mars, to migrate one million people to Mars, and to rebuild the framework and mechanism of human society on Mars.

This goal was obviously almost impossible to achieve in his lifetime.

Whether on Twitter or various podcasts, Musk has often complained about the inefficiency of American bureaucrats, that America's management model is too outdated, and that various regulations are updated extremely slowly.

He even proposed his vision of how he would manage Mars in the future.

Obviously there is a way that can help him achieve this goal faster, and that is to take control of a country.

For the Silicon Valley tycoons who have already achieved financial freedom, this matter is enough to make them excited.

If the New Roman Empire is really rebuilt, the mountain kingdom of the new century, then everyone here will be the George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton of the New Roman Empire.

We all make a great ambition here and then turn it into reality in the future.

"Let's first sort out the target countries. First of all, they must be representative countries. Universal suffrage systems like America's are too difficult to operate.

Secondly, the area cannot be too large. South Africa is too large, the target is too conspicuous, and it will take too long. It will take at least ten years. After ten years, we will be ten years older. By then, we may not have the keen insight and energy to steer it back on the right track.

But I don't agree with Hoffman's view. Who said we need to buy people off? Why should we use interests to buy people off?

As long as we don't be as high-profile as Alpha Technologies and don't rush to stand in the spotlight, we won't become a target.

Moreover, not all countries are as wealthy as Singapore, not all countries have finance as their pillar industry, and not all countries are highly dependent on wealthy immigrants.

For example, if we choose South Africa, its economy has been in a slump since the 90s. The managers’ brain surgery will have no effect on the South African people, and their lives will not get better or worse.

This naturally does not involve economic redemption.

I also feel that South Africa is not suitable, not because the cost of redeeming the people is too high, but because it takes too much time.

Singapore has 90 MPs and only a few key institutions, so Alpha Technologies still needs a long time to prepare. South Africa has 400 MPs and a large army. I just checked and South Africa has soldiers.

The difficulty level in South Africa is not on the same level as in Lion City.

I think we should go for an easier target, like Ireland.

It belongs to England but has a relatively independent status, and England does not belong to the European Union. Its population is similar to that of Lion City, it has a strong industrial base, a very developed information industry, but its area is more than ten times that of Lion City, making it a very suitable target.

The only drawback is that it is a universal suffrage system, not a representative one.”

Peter Thiel analyzed.

Obviously, the Times' concerns are correct. As a relatively independent entity within the English Federation, Ireland's industrial base and natural endowments make it easy to be targeted.

When the Silicon Valley tycoons teamed up with the Washington elites to complete the hunt for Ireland within the framework of the game, does England really have any way to deal with this group of people?

The Times’ hysteria is justified.

When Alpha Technology blazes a trail, small countries that are rich but lack independence will naturally be targeted.

Not only are the Silicon Valley tycoons ready to make a move, but the Washington elites have also realized that their previous methods of hunting down corrupt officials were too obscure and crude.

Alpha Technology has pointed out a brand new path for the world's ambitious people.

The information that foreign media can read will be digested and spread back to China by China’s own media.

The bloggers, who had a lot of fun, applauded when they saw Singapore suffer a setback and the collapse of the Lee family, which had lasted for fifty years.

After all, Lion City was just sitting on the fence before, wavering between America and China, and the older Chinese were already unhappy with Lion City.

As a result, the contents revealed this time show that Singapore has cheated China a lot economically in the past. The losses that can be roughly calculated with fingers are as high as hundreds of billions of RMB. You have only done one thing, and isn't it enough for the Chinese to gloat over your misfortune?
Another thing the old Chinese were discussing was that the leader of the two Li's cities, Singapore, had been replaced, so when would the Li's city in Hong Kong be destroyed?

"In the past, Chinese netizens generally believed that the Lee family in Hong Kong would be the first to fail, and the longer Lee lived, the more likely it was that he would see the collapse of the Whampoa-affiliated companies. On the contrary, no matter how much the old Chinese disliked the Lee family in Singapore, no one thought that the Lee family in Singapore would fall first.

Unexpectedly, the Li family of Singapore was the first to be destroyed. They were wiped out before they could even fight back, while the Li family of Hong Kong still stood high on the Lion Rock, overlooking the common people. This is the benefit of having a strong motherland behind you.

If Hong Kong did not have the support of China, it would be Superman Li who would be finished, so the platform is very important.

But I still want to ask, when will Li Chaoren die? Is it really possible that he can be sent to the moon safely?"

Although there is no solid evidence and no one has evidence to prove the connection between Alpha and the great changes in Lion City, there is no evidence to prove that the exposed black material was provided by Alpha Technology.

But after the Lion City press conference, Alpha Technology CEO Oraz, who was sitting in the press box, was seen as the mastermind behind the scenes asserting sovereignty.

According to the Times report and various self-media on the Chinese Internet, this matter seems to have been set in stone.

When one Li family falls, everyone is paying attention to when another Li family will fall.

As Chen Yuanguang's bedmate, Lin Jia realized belatedly what Chen Yuanguang's question was about. It was probably that artificial intelligence was controlling all of this, so Chen Yuanguang suddenly asked her if she was worried about artificial intelligence replacing humans.

"I didn't expect that Alpha Technology could do all this so effortlessly." After things gradually settled down, Lin Jia also understood what Chen Yuanguang meant when he said that you will see it more clearly later.

After hearing this, Chen Yuanguang didn't say much, but just said: "Who knows what kind of exchange of interests took place under the water to make it so effortless on the surface."

After saying that, he shook his head and put his index finger on his lips to signal the other party not to talk about this topic.

Lin Jia understood and then said: "After intensive negotiations with Shenhai, Jiangcheng, Yudu and Yangcheng recently, and after considering the opinions of Volkswagen and Tesla, everyone agreed that the super factory is best placed in Shenhai.

Shenhai has first-class endowments and the most convenient seaport, and in this round of negotiations, Shenhai has also shown enough sincerity. Shenhai is willing to adopt the same model as Jiangcheng and provide us with a zero-interest loan in the name of equity and debt. "

Nominal equity but actual debt means that on the surface it is an investment, where the municipal investment company invests a sum of money in the enterprise and then obtains a corresponding proportion of shares. In fact, they also reach another agreement. The content of the agreement mainly refers to the enterprise's promise to recover the shares after a certain period of time and at a certain annual interest rate.

On the surface it is an investment, but in reality it is a loan.

There are many such ways of playing.

State-owned capital is the most likely to play this game, because in the past, state-owned capital had a requirement to protect its principal. You cannot cause the loss of state-owned assets. And supervision requires you to do venture capital to cultivate enterprises. Zero risk and angel investment are two completely opposite things. Under such a reality, state-owned capital has begun to play the trick of nominal equity but actual debt.

Apparently, they are becoming more and more proficient at this, but the investment in Space is different this time. It is not that the state-owned capital does not want to invest, but this is a business that is destined not to lose money. Lin Jia only needs a loan and does not need to invest to dilute his shareholding.

"Shenhai has allocated a piece of land of 46 square meters around the Tesla Gigafactory in Lingang New Area for us to build the Space-Volkswagen Gigafactory."

It was not until the evening, in Chen Yuanguang's basement studio, that Chen Yuanguang took the initiative to discuss the great changes in the Lion City:

"Alpha, as an artificial intelligence, proactively planned everything in Singapore. To be precise, Alpha not only controlled Singapore, he also controlled the state of Johor in Malaysia.

This kind of control is from top to bottom, using economic bribery to make the people who realize something is wrong accept this fact. "

Lin Jia was surprised at Chen Yuanguang's nakedness, because in the past Alpha was a tacit topic between the two of them. Lin Jia knew that Alpha belonged to Chen Yuanguang, but was worried that there might be ears on the other side, so he discussed it openly as news that had nothing to do with them.

This time in the workshop on the first floor below the villa, Chen Yuanguang spoke bluntly. Lin Jia asked curiously, "Why are you so blunt all of a sudden? If the outside world knew that Alpha was related to you, it would definitely cause an uproar.

What's more, with everything that happened in Lion City, no matter how important you are, Yanjing will be suspicious of you once they know about it, and this suspicion may even lead to irreparable consequences."

There was no disguising the worry in Lin Jia's tone, and Chen Yuanguang comforted him, "Don't worry, I have modified this room with sound-absorbing materials. Only the two of us can hear what we say in this position, and even with recording equipment, it is impossible to pick up any sound.

At the same time, I can ensure that there are absolutely no cameras here. Every time you come here, I don't let you bring your phone down. The basement is a pure office space. As long as you are here, no one can find me directly. This is to prepare for us to have an absolutely safe space for conversation. "

They lived in the villa area of ​​Cuihu Tiandi, and the underground floor here was converted into a workshop after Chen Yuanguang moved in.

Later, he brought some sound-absorbing materials from the laboratory and made modifications.

After repeated confirmation, Chen Yuanguang knew that he could discuss some more sensitive topics with Lin Jia.

"No wonder you didn't let me talk just now." Lin Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She absolutely trusted Chen Yuanguang without reservation on the technical level.

She continued, "Did Alpha decide all this on his own? Didn't you have any involvement?"

Chen Yuanguang shook his head: "I just proposed the goal, and the specific implementation path is all led by Alpha.

Even my goals are very vague, such as developing the economy and promoting the development of Southeast Asia.

These are the results of Alpha's own thinking during its past evolution.

Before, I never interfered with what Alpha did. I only asked him to give me a report every month so that I could see what he was doing.

It was not until he took control of Lion City that I asked him to come up with a long-term plan for me."

Lin Jia asked back, "Impossible. You must have provided it with the synthetic sand technology. I have seen it in the internal plan of Guangjia Aerospace. This technology is one of the pre-techniques for using lunar soil in the lunar base."

Lunar soil is somewhat similar to sand, and it has been directly blown by the solar wind and baptized by various cosmic rays. It cannot be used directly to make concrete or burn bricks.

But if you build a base on the moon, it is impossible to move construction materials from the earth, so you will inevitably need to use lunar soil.

Lin Jia knew that the so-called plan in Guangjia Aerospace’s internal plan must be a feasible technology, and it was possible that Chen Yuanguang had already known the technical route but had not announced it.

Therefore, after the synthetic sand plan was announced at the Lion City press conference, Lin Jia immediately went to find the technical information inside Guangjia Aerospace, and after reading it, he was more certain of this.

"Yes, to be precise, Alpha can directly read the internal database of Light Armor Aerospace and the database in my study, but before it can use unpublished technology, it needs my approval.

After Alpha completed the Lion City Raiders, it applied for synthetic sand technology, and I agreed after seeing his plans for Lion City. "

Chen Yuanguang continued, “You can understand that Alpha wants to build a new Lion City on the newly reclaimed 300 square kilometers of land. This new Lion City will be managed entirely by artificial intelligence, and the overall architectural style and specific functional locations will thoroughly implement the idea that artificial intelligence dominates everything.

After reading the entire plan, I only have one feeling, that is, the cyberpunk society will be staged in advance in the new Lion City.

The new Lion City, which makes extensive use of light and shadow effects and highly automated technology, will bring unprecedented shock to mankind. In the new Lion City, humans will need to think about fewer and fewer things.

You should know how huge the market for synthetic sand is, with annual sales of at least 100 billion tons. Even if Alpha Technology charges $10 per ton, it will still make a profit of $1000 billion.

All of this $100 billion will be invested in the construction of the new Lion City, $100 billion per year, which is $500 billion in five years. Add to that the tax revenue from Lion City itself and the direct and indirect capital raised, and it will be enough to build it into a surreal future city.”
