My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 529 Interventionism
Yipinju, 1102.

“Hey! You’ve been visiting for ten minutes… Do you want me to hold a light for you?

I know you are here to visit, but some people may think you are here to inspect the house..."

Meng Lang finally couldn't help but speak helplessly.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan, who was knocking and carefully "inspecting" the living room, stopped what she was doing, with a look of slight disappointment in her eyes.

"Well, the place you live in is... unexpectedly ordinary."

"Why not?"

"I thought there would be all kinds of weird high-tech equipment hidden here, or some strange biological specimens or something... Are you sure there are no secret passages or anything like that?"

Meng Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

So you think I'm Batman, right?
"You've watched too many movies... I can't find a secret passage on the 11th floor for you. If you use an electric drill, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs will dare to disturb you..."

"Yeah...that's right."

Meng Lang pointed to the chair opposite him. "Sit down. There's nothing to offer. How about some fruit?"

Gao Yuan glanced at the fruit plate on the table in the living room, which contained a few apples.

Hmm... pyramid-shaped, a very standard equilateral triangle...

She had felt something was a little off just now, and now she realized that although the furnishings in this room were ordinary, they seemed a little too "neat"...

"I can't tell, you might have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" She looked a little strange.

"Uh... I'm not. As for why the room became like this, there must be some other reasons..."

Xiaoyu has been coming to read more books recently, and every time before leaving, she would tidy up the room, so the style of room 1102 gradually became similar to that of room 1103...

"Oh~ Is this also a kind of self-disguise, just like you like history, but there is not a single history book on the bookshelf?" Gao Yuan nodded and suddenly asked with a smile.

rash:"……"

"Well! That's about right! You know, in our line of work, it's impossible for people to see through us at a glance, so it's necessary to hide our preferences.

So if one day in the future you find that I am inconsistent or even have personality conflicts, don’t be surprised, this is normal operation.”

Meng Lang gave Gao Yuan a serious shot of prevention.

Gao Yuan didn't understand Meng Lang's "hidden meaning" and looked up at the background wall behind Meng Lang.

There is a calligraphy and three photo frames hanging on it.

The poem on the left is called "Linjiangxian". The poem is good, but the handwriting is a bit ugly.

The picture in the frame on the right looks like some kind of sci-fi style composite art photo...

"Hmm! It's a combination of Chinese and Western culture, a mix of traditional classics and futuristic fantasy.

The poems on the left are full of heroic spirit, while the paintings on the right are all sad and lonely...

I don't know if your personalities clash, but at least your taste in decorating the room is quite conflicting."

"Uh...hehe..."

Meng Lang twitched his lips.

I want to be optimistic and positive, but on the journey of life, all I hear is bad news...

When the wind is light, take advantage of it and soar into the sky...

It's easy to say, but look at what happened after I broke free from the earth.

Either die alone on the moon, or be buried by a superstorm on Mars...

The ending was so tragic.

This time he didn't die in a foreign land, but was cremated on the spot...

He raised his head and looked at the third photo frame he had just hung up yesterday.

There was a new photo in the frame. On the ground were all kinds of strange mechanical wreckage, and in the sky were countless meteor showers. The two were separated by a huge crack on the ground.

If you look closely, you will find that the gray sky and the rain of fire are very similar to the cover background of a book in the study...

The close-up of this photo shows a somewhat blurry figure with white hair, looking up at the doomsday-like scene in front of him.

That back figure, indescribably helpless and desolate...

Looking at these three different life endings, Meng Lang felt mixed emotions.

The failed experiences of escaping from the earth twice before seemed to have made the brothers avoid this strategy of saving the country by taking a roundabout way.

At least after "Brave Heart", there are no more "Escape Factions".

Coupled with the "good news" from the front battlefield, he had the illusion that "I can fight back", which led to the loss of the last chance to leave the earth in this episode...

He has been thinking since yesterday that if he had chosen to invest massive resources in colonizing Mars from the beginning, perhaps he could have survived in the universe for a while longer.

In fact, after learning about the miserable condition of Little Ball, he seriously considered the "escape route".

If you can’t win, just run away. That’s not shameful!

For example, in the book "Brave Heart", the hero changed his strategy midway and prepared to reach Mars because he had no hope of winning.

But until 2043, he had only built three Martian immigration ships, and the immigrant population barely exceeded 500.

If the scale is too small, the tolerance for errors will be low.

Just like a candle in the wind, a sudden small storm can easily severely damage or even destroy this remaining branch of humanity.

So even if we want to run, a small survival base is far from enough!
Before the little ball breaks apart in 2063, building a Martian immigrant city with a population of at least one million may be the only way to truly continue the flame of civilization...

However, no matter how fast Wanwu Holdings develops, the total amount of resources it can mobilize is limited.

He has been using the "nesting doll" until today, and has used all his strength to barely fight a draw with the Night Demons.

If we put too much energy into colonizing Mars, it will inevitably slow down the development of Earth itself...

Not to mention that the demon tribe will take action in 2043, and the main base is struggling to hold on. Do you still want to secretly open a branch base?
If you play a game of StarCraft, you will know that if you open two accounts at the same time when the two sides are evenly matched, there is a high probability that you will be wiped out by the opponent in one wave!
Well... at least for now, betting on both sides and opening two lines is an extremely risky and adventurous behavior.

And once you decide to become an "escape party", it almost means giving up the vast majority of the population on Earth...

Countless elderly people, children... tens of billions of tragic casualties...

Making such a decision is undoubtedly extremely painful and difficult.

Even if he really made up his mind, the real problem for the "escape faction" is actually "who goes and who stays".

If not handled properly, the escape might turn into a rout.

For the few places to escape, even without the Night Demons taking action, humans would fight each other to the death...

After looking at Gao Yuan and hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

“I know you’ve always been curious about us, but I want to tell you that the truth is often crueler than lies.

The closer we are to the truth, the more painful we often feel.

Knowing too little may not necessarily be a bad thing. "

Looking at Meng Lang's serious expression, Gao Yuan rolled her eyes helplessly.

"The problem is... compared to knowing too little, knowing half is more painful, right?"

Africa Z vaccine.

Leading the world in intelligent AI.

There are also various advanced technologies emerging one after another...

Outsiders may not have such deep feelings, but as the person who coordinates the overall situation, Gao Yuan is already a participant.

She understood better than anyone what kind of magical "existence" Meng Lang was.

He is like a blind box, which may contain the ultimate truth of this world...

Now you tell her not to be curious about me, is it possible?
"Uh……"

Meng Lang was a little embarrassed.

Indeed, Gao Yuan was the one who joined the gang herself. She knew that she had a big secret, but she just wouldn't tell you what the secret was.

It seems a bit unfair...

"Ahem!" He coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, then pointed to several photo frames on the wall.

“Look at these photos, what can you read from them?”

"Huh?" Gao Yuan looked confused.

Apart from the clever composition and profound artistic conception, it seems to be no different from those ordinary computer-generated photos.

But since Meng Lang said so, she naturally wouldn't think it was groundless.

Is there any secret hidden in these paintings?
He looked at the three paintings again very carefully.

"Hmm... Although I can't tell anything, judging from the atmosphere the author wants to create, it seems... quite sad?"

Haha! Congratulations, you figured out the key point at a glance!
"You asked me before why I rushed to launch 'Ark Shares'. Do you know why I named it 'Ark'?"

Meng Lang suddenly threw out a seemingly unrelated question.

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes wide...

"You mean..."

"Well... it's just the worst-case scenario."

Gao Yuan: “…”

The Ark... The Ark... It's actually like this...

There was silence for a long time.

"…How long do we have?"

"According to the latest data... 45 years."

Uh...to the year to be exact.

Are “estimates” still so accurate?

However, after hearing that there was still so much time left, Gao Yuan's heart, which had just risen to her throat, finally settled down.

45 years later, I am already in my seventies or eighties.

It seems... not unacceptable?

Seeing the other party's greatly relieved expression, Meng Lang seemed to see what he was thinking and felt quite unbalanced.

That’s right, for ordinary people like Gao Yuan, this may just be an episode at the end of their life. At least she can be born in comfort and die in misery.

But for me, almost every day is the end of the world...

The survival pressure that one needs to face at this moment is completely different from what Gao Yuan faced.

Didn’t you see that in the photo, my hair is all white before I’m 70?
My whole life...is full of worries!

"There's still so much time left, we may be able to turn the tables, right?" Gao Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Of course there is a chance, but after... um... some high-tech computer simulation, if we follow the plan, our current chances of winning are not high."

Gao Yuan did not show any depressed expression when she heard this, but became even more excited.

Deep down, she is a person obsessed with challenges...

"So you're telling me this to let me know that we can't just follow the rules?"

clever!

Meng Lang praised it in his heart.

“To us, the Xu Group is just an insignificant enemy. I will not interfere with any method you use to deal with them.

If necessary, we can even send an 'elevator' to solve the problem once and for all..."

"Wait! Who is 'Elevator'?"

"Hmm...the organization's golden killer."

Gao Yuan: “…”

"This is not the point. The point is that we cannot limit our focus to Su City, or even to this small piece of land in China.

The current situation is that even if we involve the entire China, we may still be unable to do so.

So we need to change our strategy a little bit, look to the world, and make a global layout! ”

"Global layout?"

"Yes!" Meng Lang nodded, then took out a piece of information and handed it over.

Gao Yuan flipped through the documents with a puzzled look on her face...

"Iwasaki Hideyoshi?"

The information showed that it was the resume of a Japanese. In the photo, Iwasaki Hideyoshi had a handsome face and smiled like a boy next door.

But that smile seemed like wearing a mask, and seemed a little hypocritical.

However, the more she continued to read, the more surprised Gao Yuan's face became.

[Iwasaki Hideyoshi, male, 24 years old, from Fuso Kyoto, Mitsubishi Corporation, one of the fourth generation heirs of the Iwasaki family...]

After reading Iwasaki Hideyoshi's information, she looked up with some confusion.

"The global layout you mentioned...could it be him?"

"No, it's the entire Mitsubishi Group behind him."

Gao Yuan: “…”

Hey, hey! We can barely rank among the top 5 in the world right now, and you want to build a super conglomerate that can rank among the top 500 of the world's top 50...

Our pace of globalization... isn't it a bit too fast?
"What are you going to do?"

"Of course we control him. As long as the benefits are sufficient, people's bottom line is actually very flexible."

"I understand the logic, but... do we have any benefits that can attract him?" Gao Yuan wondered.

"There is none now, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future..."

"What do you mean?"

“Have you ever read Hamlet?”

"Uh... sure."

"So what do you say... a prince who could have inherited a huge kingdom, but due to the conspiracy of his closest relatives, not only did he lose his throne, but he was also hunted down by the whole world...

How desperate and helpless would that be?"

Gao Yuan: "???"

……

Escaping from the earth is always the worst option, but if you want to change the final outcome, you must win quickly!

If the Night Demons can be eliminated in a short period of time, then whether we are studying how to deal with the "seeds" underground or making every effort to immigrate to Mars, the feasibility will be much more flexible.

Instead of struggling to survive while facing the Night Demon Army.

Perhaps it was because of the small peasant mentality that I placed most of my development focus on China in my previous life.

He devoted all his resources to building his own base, thinking that he could then sit back and watch the world change and the clouds roll and unfold.

However, it is clearly stated in And Then There Were None.

Even the floating orbital guns that fill the Earth's orbit, the guardian robots that cover the mountains, and the unmanned seventh-generation fighters that cover the sky...

It has only managed to keep any evil axis on the earth out of the country.

not enough! This is not enough!
As we all know, if you want to defeat your opponent quickly in StarCraft, in addition to speeding up your own development... you can also choose to open a base!
If he wants to win quickly, he must have more resources at his disposal.

And the vast majority of the world’s resources... are in the hands of a few major countries!
He may not be able to set up a branch base on Mars yet.

However, opening a Fuso branch base is practical!

In terms of modern industrial strength, apart from China, only Germany and Japan can barely keep up.

Germany is too far away, has an insufficient population, and is located in the extremely complex political quagmire of Europe, making it difficult to control.

Fuso is different. The chaebol economy determines that the control of this country is always in the hands of a few chaebol families.

Controlling it, even if it only causes it to fall into confusion of stance, will not only weaken the restless other side of the ocean, but also allow China to gain greater strategic space and develop without restraint, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In this episode of life, my brother provided me with an excellent entry point...

Iwasaki Hideyoshi!
This future "Hamlet"-like tragic character has since reached a turning point in his fate...

Meng Lang looked at the handsome face in the information, his eyes revealing a meaningful look.

Now that “isolationism” has proven its limitations, we…

So we have no choice but to turn to "interventionism"...
