Chapter 458 New Year's Benefits
Virtual world, energy diffusion meeting site.
Participants began to go online one after another. In a corner of the conference room, a group of people from different countries were whispering.
"What do you guys think about the meeting held by Atlantis Corporation today?" A middle-aged white man glanced around and asked.
Above the head of the white man, his own nameplate - "Secretary of the United States Department of Energy" is floating.
In front of the words on the nameplate, there is also a golden V logo, which means that this person has passed the official VIP identity authentication, and the account is bound to the brain wave, so it is absolutely impossible to impersonate!
The virtual helmet perfectly restored the true face of the Minister of Energy of the United States through [-]D scanning technology. The face displayed by the lander is exactly the same as that of a real person, and the scene environment is also quite realistic. Even the shadow of the light and the echo of the closed environment have been truly restored.
Without the series of famous brand introductions floating above everyone's head, there is almost no difference from the real world.
Thanks to the vigorous development of the virtual laboratory, a large number of scientists are actively experimenting under the encouragement of Infinite Coin, providing a large amount of real-world data for virtual technology, so the fidelity of the virtual world is also constantly improving and improving.
Of course, the difficulty of sensory simulation can only be regarded as elementary, and the simulation of various physical laws is the top virtual technology!
"Your Excellency, the visitors to Atlantis this time are not friendly! Listening to the name of this meeting, you know that the other party must want to take action on the energy field of the earth this time!" A man wearing the unique costume of the Arab world The man said with a bitter face.
His identity is the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia.
The earth is included in the Prometheus project and connected to the energy network of the solar system. Naturally, Saudi Arabia, a country that relies on underground black gold to become a big dog, can't sit still, and directly sends its top leaders to participate in this meeting.
Although petroleum has a wide range of uses and has an irreplaceable role as a chemical raw material, in the global petroleum consumption structure, the main use is still as a raw material for the production of fuel oil and gasoline.
It is conceivable that once Atlantis exports a large amount of cheap energy to the world, the global demand for oil will definitely drop off a cliff.
At that time, their absolute pillar industries will not be guaranteed, and the national economy will face collapse!
The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also red-eyed this time, and the only thing they can hope for now is to let the big brother of the country of America come forward and take the lead in stopping the energy dumping that Atlantis is about to launch!
They believe that the United States is also an energy exporting country. No matter from the perspective of economic interests or the security of strategic resources, it will never sit back and watch Atlantis easily control the global energy supply.
"They're trying to force people to their death!" Before the Minister of Energy of the United States could speak, the Minister of Energy of Maoxiong State gritted his teeth.
Mao Xiongguo's domestic economy has been sluggish in the past two years, and it relies on the military industry and energy output to maintain the domestic economy.
Now that the ghost captain was born, traditional arms cannot be sold, and now even energy is almost impossible to sell, Mao Xiong does have reason to put on a desperate posture.
"Yes! Not long ago, they annexed the four major mining groups and almost monopolized the world's iron ore raw materials. Now they want to extend their hands to the energy field.
Once they succeed, everything from industrial raw materials to energy supply will be controlled by them, then the industrial lifelines of all countries will be almost completely controlled by Atlantis. This is trying to rule the earth! "
The Saudi prime minister tried hard to emphasize the danger factor, wanting to arouse the common hatred among everyone.
Among the people present, most of them are allies of energy interests. Four of the five major countries are on their side. The combined power of these forces is astonishing. The Atlantis Company can at least drag the other party's hind legs and delay the speed of the crisis.
"Yes! We must not let them succeed!"
"That's right, we must unite, or we will die!"
"..."
The words of the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia ignited everyone's emotions, and they all expressed that they must unite to stop the conspiracy of Atlantis Corporation!
"Cough cough! Stay safe, everyone!" Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the Minister of Energy of the United States coughed and stretched out his hand to press down.
After everyone quieted down, he continued to speak, "Everyone, things may not be as bad as we imagined, we will first hear what Atlantis Corporation wants to do, and then decide how we should deal with it!
Of course, if it turns out that they really want to control the energy system of the world, then this is undoubtedly a serious violation of the 'anti-monopoly' law!As a country ruled by law and democracy, the United States will definitely be the first to stand up and firmly oppose it! "
The words of the Secretary of Energy of the United States made everyone feel at ease. As the old Miken took the lead, they felt confident.
"Swipe!" At this moment, a girl's figure appeared in front of the venue, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Still wearing a pure white mask, as the mysterious CEO of Atlantis, this is the second time Chu Xiaoxiao has appeared in public.
Usually she is a remote commander. The last time Chu Xiaoxiao appeared in public was at the Atlantis Global Summit. At that time, she announced the space resource development and virtual technology promotion plan of Atlantis Corporation. It is the great event of the century in the human world!
And her reappearance today undoubtedly means that Atlantis Corporation is going to make another big move!
Everyone "swiped" and was "refreshed" to their seats, which indicated that the meeting was officially held.
The audience fell silent, and everyone looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, waiting for her to speak solemnly, to see what shocking words she would say.
"Nice to meet you all. On behalf of Atlantis Corporation, I would like to extend my sincere New Year greetings to you!" Chu Xiaoxiao said with a generous smile.
What?New Year wishes?This opening statement made everyone startled.
"For this reason, I brought the New Year's benefits issued by Atlantis Corporation for all mankind!" Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and a line of virtual characters appeared in front of everyone.
"1000 kWh!"
Everyone looked at this line of eye-catching red characters inexplicably. The New Year's benefit is 1000 kWh?What is this unfolding?
However, many people's faces changed slightly, and bad premonitions began to emerge in their hearts.
"In order to celebrate the official connection of the earth to the 'Prometheus' energy network and open a new chapter in the energy of earth civilization, our company has decided to provide all human beings in the world with a free electricity consumption of 1000 kWh per year.
As long as countries or individuals that join the 'Prometheus' energy network can get 1000 kWh of free electricity per person per year, this benefit is valid for a long time! "
"Hiss!" Almost everyone at the scene gasped.
Generous!This is definitely a big deal!
They are all practitioners in the energy field, so they naturally know what 1000 kWh is.
For example, in 2017, the per capita living electricity consumption of flower growers was about 650 kWh, which means that if the flower growers are connected to the Internet, the daily electricity consumption of all residents will be basically free, just like free gifts...
Everyone was shocked by this big deal, including energy groups such as Saudi Arabia.
They have thought that the other party will definitely use price wars to lure some countries to use their cheap energy with low prices, but they never imagined that the other party will give a big red envelope of 60 kWh to more than 1000 billion human beings in the world!
What kind of low price dumping is this? It's just trying to smash them to death with money!
Thinking of this, they were puzzled again.
Isn't the Prometheus project a galaxy-scale gigantic project?Don't you need manpower and material resources to build these high-tech engineering buildings?Now what's the difference between that and giving away for nothing?
Could it be that the "cost" has been eaten?
They naturally don't know that there is a kind of black-hearted businessman who never pays his employees wages...
Mechanical bug: "..." (╥﹏╥)
