Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 423: Buddhist and Taoist Conflicts during the Spring Festival
According to statistics, the annual maintenance cost of each nuclear weapon in North America is between approximately 0.8 million and 1.3 million US dollars, requiring a total annual budget of 3000 billion US dollars.

The more countries that possess nuclear weapons, the more international restrictions there will be on their use.

This means that nuclear weapons are no longer traditional strategic weapons. In many cases, even though a single nuclear weapon can solve the problem, a large number of troops need to be deployed and a large amount of military expenditure needs to be spent to achieve the original goal.

To this end, North America proposed the idea of ​​space-based kinetic weapons in the 80s.

First, use tungsten, titanium, uranium and other metals to make a metal rod with a diameter of 30 cm, a length of 6.1 meters, and a weight of about 9 tons. Then use satellite guidance and small rocket propulsion to make it fall freely from outer space to the surface at a speed of 3.9 kilometers per hour.

Research has shown that the kinetic destructive power of metal rods on surface targets is comparable to that of nuclear weapons.

Later the weapon was named 'Rod of God'.

Later, the Russian company collapsed and the project was shelved.

In recent years, as the war of words between the collective and capital in the Internet field has become increasingly fierce, this weapon has been hyped up by the "50-cent army" controlled by capital.

What a thing that could destroy the ten-mile camp.

Anything that exceeds the speed of a ballistic missile cannot be stopped.

Why forward this article? Good people will have a peaceful life and be reborn in America in the next life.

Now, Sanyuan Agriculture also has something similar.

And one of them is more than 200 meters long and weighs more than 3000 tons.

Compared with the slender and graceful Staff of God, this thing can be described as a 'super powerful machine'.

Although Old Bu knew that the Rod of God had no effect.

But no one dared to bet on what would happen if something this big fell.

Therefore, the North American Advanced Planning Agency urgently formulated the "Interception Plan" and continued to spend money on research and development.
-
$10 billion.
-
$50 billion.
-
200 billion US dollars···

Yujia Village parking lot.

I don't know when this place evolved into a large courtyard.

The South Gate is where old men play chess and old ladies sew shoe soles.

To the west is a row of restaurants that usually do not entertain outsiders.

There are many breakfast stalls at the north gate, offering pan-fried buns, steamed buns with meat, fried dough sticks, fried guada...
To the east is a row of duplex townhouses that were rebuilt last year.

The average width is ten meters, with a courtyard in front of the door, facing north and south, and there are about twenty of them.

Including Old Yu's family, Old Six's family, Old Party Secretary + Grandpa + Second Grandpa + Third Grandpa's family, Yu Guizi's family...

New Year's Eve morning.

Yu Yang woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes. The extremely unfamiliar ceiling in the bedroom made him stunned for a long time before he remembered that this was the home he had not returned to all year.

After putting on my clothes and opening the door, I heard the conversation between my mother and Lao Yu coming from the living room downstairs.

"We have to give people some gifts before and after the New Year. How about you take Lao Liu with you to the factory to pick out two pigs, and buy a box of wine and a pack of cigarettes, and give them over together?"

"The child hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"When I first saw that girl at the gate of the county's No. 1 Middle School, I had a good feeling about her. We've been together for five years now... Why can't she get pregnant?"

"Young people may not think the same as us. Maybe they don't want children."

"Why don't you go there? The Science and Technology Bureau's staff quarters are not far from us. You and Lao Liu can drive along the Second Ring Road and arrive in 20 minutes."

"What should I say when I get to that place? My son has a crush on your daughter."

"Chen Xi's father must know about the two children."

"Just stop interfering."

Yu Yang lay on the fence on the third floor, eating melon seeds and listening to the two elders chatting.

At this time, a greeting came from outside the door.

"Is Lao Yu at home?"

"Hey, who is this?"

Following the response, Lao Yu lifted the heat-proof curtain, and a policeman with two flowers and an olive branch on his shoulders came over with gifts.

"you are?"

"I am Sanyuan's friend. We have known each other for a long time. I am also your comrade-in-arms, the head of the city's military department. I am currently working for the Dongshan Provincial Police." The former head of the city police said, giving way to a woman who was following him, "This is my wife, the head of the Central Hospital."

"Hello, hello, please come in, it's cold outside."

Yu Yang leaned back slightly to avoid being seen from below.

The former city police chief walked into the hall and asked, "Sanyuan is not at home?"

"He came back at three in the morning last night and was still sleeping upstairs."

"I am busy, but I understand."

Both sides were polite.

The lover of the city police chief said, "Yu Ma, I have a colleague who is the head nurse. Her daughter has a good relationship with the Sanyuan Office, so she asked me to ask you what you think."

"Her daughter?"

"Her daughter took her uncle's surname, Chen Xi, and her father's name is Liu Yong."

"Well, I was just talking to Lao Yu about sending some festival gifts over there to settle the matter."

"Then we are right now."

The four of them were having a great time.

Lao Yu suggested, "I'll contact the restaurant next door to reserve a room. Can we sit down and have some fun at noon?"

The city police chief immediately took out his communicator and dialed a number, "Lao Liu, bring your girlfriend to the Yujia Village parking lot... What? The girl didn't get home until three in the morning last night and is still asleep? Then you two come over first."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang thought about it and, without changing his clothes, put on a down jacket in his pajamas, walked through the emergency passage at home, left the parking lot, got on the factory's official rail car, and headed straight to the Science and Technology Bureau's staff quarters.

Chang Fu, who was following behind, asked curiously, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Find a place to catch up on some sleep."

"Ha, man!"

"···"

···
in the afternoon.

Old Yu, who had drunk a little wine, was in high spirits and was busy preparing to go to Shanglin to worship his ancestors.

Yu Yang came back from his old desk mate's bed and felt a little sleepy. He felt his pocket and found he didn't have any cigarettes, so he simply asked his little cousin for one.

Seeing this, my cousin quickly took out his lighter.

"What have you two been busy with lately?"

Although the eldest and youngest cousins ​​still look silly, their brains are not what they seem. "We both passed the CPA exam..."

“CPA?”

"Ah."

"Good guy, okay."

The eldest cousin continued, "The second oldest and I are both patrolling the flags. We are responsible for patrolling in the first and third quarters, auditing in the second and fourth quarters, and verifying the accounts at the end of the year."

"Did you find any problems?"

"There are no problems with the three-series enterprises, but there are many problems with the three-series partners and the three-series surrounding industries."

“If there is a problem, solve it.”

Yu Yang was just chatting casually and didn't want to talk too much about work.

Because finance is too complicated.

Just like the think tank once proposed, "Financial accounting should be connected to the big model so that all internal cash flows can be traced."

The problem is that although cash is not used internally, it can flow into the internal system.

For example, my eldest cousin.

Internal supervision is very effective, and my cousin has no chance of embezzling any money.

At this time, Fan Tao from the outside prepared 500 million in cash for his cousin and purchased two villas in Guang District, hoping that his cousin would stamp a qualified stamp for the annual inspection of Shili Mall.

My cousin took the things and stamped them, but since he didn't bring the things inside, the internal supervision couldn't find any problems at all.

But there are indeed big problems here.

Therefore, unless cash disappears and currency becomes encrypted blockchain currency and is linked to labor, it is possible to avoid corruption.

However, those who control blockchain currency have the right to issue currency. Who can guarantee that the interest groups represented by the other party will not engage in corruption?
Who can guarantee that the interest groups represented by the other party will not expand?
In general, don't talk about finance.

Of course, the above is just a metaphor.

The eldest cousin, the younger cousin, and even Fan Tao are no longer interested in money.

What they want is collective honor and individual achievement.

After all, you are well fed and lack nothing, and you are not a puppet of capital. What else can you pursue?

···
in the afternoon.

Old Yu and Yu's mother were making dumplings while Yu Yang was watching the 'Year after Year' programme on Oriental TV.

For the East, this year is like a watershed.

Wages, which had barely risen in the past decade, suddenly nearly doubled.

The city, which had not changed much in the past few decades, is suddenly changing with each passing day.

Towns that had no roads for hundreds of years suddenly had highways.

Even many towns are welcoming high-speed railways.

G7 Line (Beijing-Meihekou),

G8 line (Xijiang-Xiangjiang),

G9 Line (Dongshan-Tianshui),

Line G13 (Meihekou-Vladivostok).

Next year, it will open:
G10 Line (Bashu-Tibet),

G11 line (Tianshui-Tacheng), G12 line (Tacheng-Aynak),

G14 line (Meihekou-Sanjiang-Amur),

G15 line (Nanyun-Nanyue).

While many things are developing rapidly, many unprecedented things are born.

Self-developed and manufactured shield machines, super-large bridge erection machines, high-precision five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, super-large integrated harvesting, sowing, threshing and packaging agricultural machinery,

Self-developed and manufactured 120nm deep ultraviolet light source lithography machine, Theta Starlink, Sanyuan Communication Network,

The independently developed and manufactured barrage anti-missile defense system,

The brain of the mother planet independently developed and manufactured - the Sky Garden server...

And created many achievements.

For example, wheat, corn, and soybeans have all had bumper harvests, with per-acre yields breaking records;

For example, the annual output of aquatic products and the number of farmed animals also broke records;

For example, import and export trade hit new highs one after another, and A-shares hit new highs one after another;

For example, the Shennong system evolved into three types of AI.

For example, the manned space program has been a great success.

"Dear audience, let's see how the frontier soldiers celebrate the Spring Festival."

This year's 'Year after Year' column uses a 150-inch three-series monochrome green screen as a 'satellite remote sensing map'. Wherever the host points on the map, the live camera switches to that place. The page transitions are very smooth and there is no delay in the live broadcast.

Compared with previous years when the host had to wait several seconds before the sound could be heard during the live broadcast, this year can be said to have achieved a technological leap.

This year's border area is definitely more lively than ever before.

On the new land, new outposts, new monuments, new barracks were built... everything looks brand new.

It's just that the superiors refused to acknowledge the '1045 version of the map' published in the factory, and determined that the east was still 960 million square kilometers, which was somewhat negative morale.

····
the other side.

Mount Dongyue.

Since the beginning of the Little Year in the north, the Dongyue Taoist sect has begun to prepare for the "Luotian Grand Ceremony".

"Zhan" was once called "zhan", and is one of the most solemn activities in Taoist rituals.

According to the scale, it is divided into Putian, Zhoutian and Luotian.

There are 3600 deity tablets enshrined in Putian, 2400 deity tablets enshrined in Zhoutian, and 1200 deity tablets enshrined in Luotian.

Because there are different Taoist sects, each has its own reverence, and the gods they recognize are also very different.

Therefore, the Pu Tian Da Jiao was usually held by ancient emperors, who summoned all Taoist sects in the country to participate.

The Zhoutian Dajiao is usually held by kings, princes, generals and ministers, who summon Taoists in a certain area, as well as some Taoists outside the area to participate.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony was initiated by the people.

The purpose of launching this movement is basically to pray for peace and prosperity in the country and good weather.

Some of these activities last for seven days, while others last for two months.

But no matter what the scale, it is a project that consumes a lot of financial and material resources and cannot be completed by ordinary forces.

The Dongyue Taoist sect held the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time, gathering together about 150 Taoist temples including those in the southern mountainous areas, Yishui and Yimeng, Xijiang Tianshi, Nanyun Jiugong, and Bashu Taoist temples.

There are a total of 1350 high-ranking masters, 570 scripture masters, 1.2 Taoist disciples, and 17 lay disciples.

The scale of this event is the largest in the past three hundred years.

The purpose is to report to the gods: Before May, we in the Taoist sect will spend 350 billion red notes to build the Supreme Heavenly Palace in low-Earth orbit. You must protect it, otherwise your throne will be overthrown.

This move caused an uproar in the Eastern Taoist sect.

But just like the "powerful Buddhist temple", the Dongyue Taoist sect has long established a firm foothold in the east and even monopolized the "Taoist examination".

In other words, if the Taoists in the world want to obtain the "official certification of Taoism", they must come to the southern mountainous area to take the exam twice a year.

The examination content includes Taoist canon, talismans, formations, and cultivation.

For each subject passed, corresponding certificates and clothing will be awarded.

If you pass all four items, you will be promoted to Taoist priest and be rewarded with a fairy crane.

If you don't come, but claim to be a Taoist, you will not only be beaten, but also sent to Africa to open up wasteland.

This shows how powerful the Dongyue Taoist sect is today.

And on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

Thousands of cranes are singing in the sky, auspicious clouds are piled up like golden scales, and in the sky-high talisman light, the shadows of layers of temples are faintly emerging from the South Gate of Heaven...

Even TV stations don’t dare to stage this scene.

···
Buddha Temple.

The old abbot who went to the United States to spread the Dharma was deported two months ago.

Because before the East joined the WTO, there was a secret agreement to give up exporting revolution.

The old host's behavior of spreading the Dharma was deemed illegal by North America.

This made the followers of the Buddha's faction very dissatisfied, and they questioned the democracy and freedom in North America.

Starting from the Little Year in the north, in order to compete with Taoism, Buddhist temples began to prepare for the "Karma", which is also called the "Water and Land Ceremony" in Mahayana Buddhism.

The purpose of the water and land ceremony is to liberate the souls of the dead and save all living beings, while karma is to decide the outcome of an event through the will of everyone, similar to voting on something.

New Year's Eve afternoon.

The old abbot led 2500 Arhats, 8700 Dharma masters, more than 1.3 elders, and hundreds of thousands of monks from the global Buddhist patriarch faction, bathed in the effects of great changes, raised 6.7 billion red notes, 1700 billion Thai baht, trillion Singapore dollars, trillion Japanese yen... equivalent to billion US dollars, and decided to build the "Supreme Buddhist Temple" in outer space.

Wait for karma to end.

When the old host learned that the sect had raised only 350 billion red notes, he put his hands together and silently said in his heart: "Poor bastard."

He looks like a great monk.

Buddhists from all over the world bowed down in admiration.

Immediately, he sat down quickly and bathed in the divine light.

This is a futon seat that I bought with a lot of money.

Seeing this, the old host secretly signaled to his apprentice who was the general manager of Sanyuan Pharmaceutical, "Is the medicine ready?"

"AI has matched the corresponding prescriptions according to each person's physical condition, either to replenish qi and blood, or to nourish yin and strengthen yang, or to nourish blood and strengthen the spleen... Don't worry, all of them have passed clinical trials and are very effective. The shortest course of treatment is one, and the longest is three courses of treatment. The root cause of the disease can be eliminated within a month, which will definitely make them believe it."

The old abbot nodded and sighed, "Amitabha, I never thought that this old monk would fall into such a devilish path in his later years."

"Master, you are obsessed."

···
Yujia Village.

7 pm.

Before I knew it, the 'Year After Year' program was suspended and Oriental News began to play.

Yu Yang and Lao Yu opened a bottle of the factory's special liquor and chatted while watching the news and eating.

When the news is over, the channel automatically switches to the factory's main station.

on the screen.

There are hundreds of large outdoor screens on the main road of Shiliying.

They stretch from Puyang to the simulated beach - the Clover Building, and together broadcast the 'Spring Festival Gala in the Factory' held at the Olympic Sports Center.

And as the camera swept across every corner of Shiliying Street.

The show officially began at 8 o'clock in the evening.

First, Li Changnian, general manager of Sanyuan Agriculture, delivered a speech on behalf of Chairman Yu, who is obsessed with cultivating immortals and has no time for worldly affairs.

"In the past year, the factory has completed the popularization of basic living materials."

"All households in the collective, including the three series of partners and the surrounding villages and towns, now have televisions, telephones, refrigerators, air conditioners, all-in-one keyboards, and small electric tricycles, and have access to electricity, the internet, water, and heating."

"As the saying goes, remember the bitter past and think of the sweet present. At present, we must never forget the sufferings of the past, and we must not ignore the persecution of capitalism..."

"In the following year, after discussion and voting by the factory management team, the staff meeting, the board of supervisors (formerly the shareholders' meeting), and the management team, the board of directors decided to equip all families with electric vehicles."

Wow! ! !
There was constant applause.

"Since ternary lithium batteries do not meet the safety standards of commercial power batteries, Sanyuan Heavy Industry has decided to use 'three-series graphene supercapacitors' as energy storage devices."

"The capacitor has an extremely good charging and discharging speed. Taking a range of 200km as an example, it can be fully charged in 15 minutes, but it has a certain attenuation. It will naturally attenuate by 24% in the first 30 hours, 48% in 70 hours, and 72% in 100 hours."

"You can say that if you fully charge the battery and don't use it, you will need to recharge it after three days."

"Therefore, the factory decided to lay charging stations and charging piles along the high-speed rail line to ensure that employees can charge whenever they need to. In addition, the factory employees were replaced with third-generation employee cards with 'trip schedules' embedded in them, so that everyone can ride in a fully charged car when they need it."

"Let me reiterate that this is a collective product. During use, traffic regulations must be strictly observed and malicious damage and other behaviors are prohibited."

"If Sanyuan Heavy Industries and Sanyuan Machinery develop new cars, these vehicles will be recalled and then used as surplus production capacity. They will be replaced with fuel power systems and sold outside the factory as used cars."

"So for the sake of the collective good, we should use it and cherish it."

"Next, I will announce the top ten advanced individuals, advanced groups, and advanced units in the factory in 03..."

"Next, I will announce the top ten model individuals, model groups, and model units in the factory in 03..."

"Next, I will announce the top ten outstanding individuals, groups and units in the factory in 03..."

"Next, I will criticize the ten worst behaviors in the factory in 03..."

Half an hour later.

"I declare that the 04 Spring Festival Gala in the factory has officially begun!"

Along with the voice, thousands of small quad-rotor drones formed a four-leaf clover with three red and one green leaves in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the accompaniment of "Defend the Yellow River" rang in our ears.
