Chapter 296 Narrow the scope(1/2)

"Sorry, I will resign after the London magic incident is resolved.

But not now, not this moment.

We still have a lot of work to do, and the country is not fit to be plunged into the chaos caused by a change of government.

I promise that I will leave No. 10 Downing Street when the matter is resolved."

The pressure is too great and I really can't bear it.

After having magic, Blue Star fell into a completely different trend than before.

Not only magic, but also the influence brought by Zheng Li.

The brain-computer connection technology and brain-computer connection VR created by Zheng Li saved at least fifteen years of development in the VR field of Blue Star.

The entire VR industry chain currently exceeds one trillion, not to mention the subsequent changes and the scale of the industry after the realization of true virtual reality.

The total industry value of virtual reality can be regarded as the total output value of smartphones and computers combined.

The most important thing about the economy is not the current situation, but expectations.

The expectations brought about by VR and the subsequent metaverse have delayed the stagnation of Blue Star's economy.

As well as some breakthroughs in the biological field brought about by magic, including life-extending potions, better genetically modified seeds, and the faster popularization of new energy vehicles.

There are also COVID-specific drugs that will eliminate COVID-19 in 2022.

These have prevented the entire Blue Star economy from falling into obvious stagflation and visible crisis from 2020 to 2025.

Instead, it created a rare period of economic prosperity.

Economics and politics are two sides of the same coin, so Boris was not forced to step down as more than 50 cabinet members resigned in two days as he originally would have.

Of course, he still cannot escape the fate of stepping down.

If the incident is announced, the blame will inevitably be taken, and all public pressure will be focused on the English government.

The Europa League behind the scenes cannot jump out to take over the blame, saying that we are also involved in this matter.

In addition, technological progress can only delay the onset of stagflation and financial crises, but it cannot solve the root causes.

Unless we go to Mars immediately and start interstellar immigration.

Even colonizing just one planet, Mars, can fundamentally reverse Blue Star's economic situation.

Of course, this will bring about another problem, that is, the only countries that are qualified and capable of going to Mars are China and America.

Plus the Europa League at most.

When these countries go to Mars, other countries will still have to face severe economic situations.

The lithium metal cathode material developed by Zheng Li has increased the penetration rate of new energy vehicles far beyond expectations.

This has brought about an acceleration of the global new energy strategy focusing on carbon neutrality.

The gradual popularization of artificial intelligence has changed the entire Blue Star business environment.

The cost of photovoltaic power generation itself has been low enough to enter normal power system application scenarios, and the cost and stability of energy storage and transmission have been greatly improved.

At the same time, Neon is vigorously promoting hydrogen energy technology.

The political forces and economic landscapes of various countries have formed a synergy on the matter of new energy, which has led to new energy becoming an irreversible trend.

Although global warming cannot be stopped and extreme climates will continue to occur, the new energy landscape has been solidified and fossil fuels will still have their role, but their role will gradually weaken.

After humans entered the industrial age, the waste gas produced by the use of fossil energy has affected the earth for hundreds of years.

Climate warming itself will cause changes in the most important heat storage and temperature regulation system in meteorology: the ocean, which will in turn affect the temperature.

Extreme climate is formed in this way, and changes in sea temperature will also affect the stability of the marine ecosystem.

The new energy concept proposed by human society aims to directly convert solar energy into use, or convert fossil energy into clean energy.

The former is solar energy, wind energy, water energy, tidal energy, and the latter is hydrogen energy, bioenergy, etc.

The development of new energy has brought about battery technology and the application of battery materials, changing the composition of commodities.

Countries that have had fossil energy in the past have these natural wealth.

However, with the development trend of new energy, it is inevitable that the development trajectories of these countries will be changed. This has even changed the geopolitical landscape.

The development of solar energy is both a God-given opportunity and the result of years of hard work for China, which has the largest photovoltaic production capacity.

The development of hydrogen energy is another opportunity for Japan, which has hydrogen fuel technology.

The development of new energy batteries is another opportunity for countries such as Kangaroo Country, Chile, and Bolivia that possess materials such as nickel and lithium.

However, due to the short-term transition period between traditional fossil energy and new energy, the energy crisis and the food crisis caused by the high cost of chemical fertilizers occurred, leading Blue Star countries to restart nuclear power generation.

At present, leading countries are turning their attention to nuclear fusion, hoping to be the first to realize nuclear fusion.

The country that took the lead in realizing nuclear fusion can be said to have gained the greatest opportunity in the new energy battlefield.

In this choice, nuclear power generation is the right of a few countries, because it is not only a matter of technical capabilities, but also involves political restrictions on nuclear weapons.

Many countries have the capability to apply nuclear power technology.

Deutsche and Neon have given up on nuclear power for various reasons. Amerikan has suspended the development of nuclear power and has restarted research on nuclear fusion power generation in recent years.

China and France have been expanding nuclear power.

Nuclear power is actually impossible, both in terms of capital intensity and technical and political constraints.

Photovoltaic power generation is the new energy power generation technology that third world countries are most likely to choose when carbon taxes are implemented.

In these years, China has made a fortune on Blue Star by relying on its photovoltaic production capacity.

At the same time, electric vehicles are not only sold in third world countries due to their battery life advantages, but have even entered the established automobile countries of Deutsche and Neon.

The reduction in food production caused by extreme weather has made things even worse for the food supply in some underdeveloped areas.

Therefore, in the past five years, during the process of transforming traditional energy methods into new energy methods, the energy costs and food costs faced by third world countries have been increasing day by day.

The development of artificial intelligence and industrial automation is directly changing the entire industrialization process.

The total factor costs in developed countries will completely offset the disadvantages of labor costs when robot technology develops to a certain stage.

This will lead to the distribution of the global manufacturing industry changing from the current industrialization in Annan, Asan and other countries to returning to America, Europa and Neon.

The economies of South Asia and Southeast Asia were originally going to take off due to the reorganization of global supply chains, but they were completely reversed due to technological advancements.

Previously, China's manufacturing industry was gradually shifting to ASEAN, but due to the development of artificial intelligence and industrial automation, this trend is also on hold.

Manufacturing companies are waiting and watching.

Especially this year, Baosteel and Huawei jointly launched a smart steel production base.

It sounds like an industry with a history of more than two hundred years, but the complexity of large-scale steel production bases is not low.

If this can be accomplished with artificial intelligence and industrial VR, it will only be a matter of time before other lower-end manufacturing industries are accomplished.

Compared with China, the only advantage of countries in Southeast Asia is low labor costs.

When artificial intelligence can offset this advantage, there will be no need to move manufacturing there.

The scene returned to London. Three days later, Boris could not bear the pressure and announced that the matter had calmed down and resigned.

This calmed things down a bit, and at least someone was responsible.

As long as the government changes abroad, the next one can go into battle lightly and leave all the previous problems to the previous one.

However, the underlying problem remains unresolved, and the murderer behind the random killings in London has not been found.

For the English government, their top priorities now are two points.

The first point is to find the murderer of the random murder, and the second point is to explore the management model of the magical society.

London is already in talks with Hikvision, hoping to introduce Hikvision's products and build a Sky Eye system in London.

After the news came out, Hikvision directly raised two daily limits in Big A.

But this takes time.

And it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Two months of London lockdown may not be enough time.

This is an extremely severe test for Boris.

Otherwise, he would not have introduced products from China and would still be monitoring such a sensitive field.

Boris still hopes to solve this problem perfectly and reserve the possibility for him to come to power again in the future.

"It's another bad day. Basically everyone on the set has been unmotivated to work these days, including the director.

It seems that our progress will be delayed to a certain extent.

I also found out that Warner Bros. has been urging the director, saying that this is a rare opportunity and our film will definitely attract the attention of the whole world after it is released.

In addition, executives at Warner Bros. headquarters are still asking the actors if they can do magic.

When the time comes, we will shoot some footage of the actors performing magic and put it at the end of the film, which will definitely be a hit." Lawrence's face was full of complaints.

He previously went for an interview with Warner Bros. and passed the preliminary round with his unique temperament and unexpected fame.
