Chapter 2409 The Truth About New Energy

Oleben looked at Tommy with joy in his eyes. Tommy walked over and came step by step to the frozen president at the bottom. He had seen this GHD president in some documentaries.

This is Mr. Brown, who was president when the doomsday struck. He has been sleeping for more than 200 years, Oleben came over and said.

"This president has led all of us in the United States to complete a lot of construction underground, right here in this base."

Tommy smiled with emotion.

"The catastrophe that year was really unbelievable. It was too difficult for human beings to survive in such a catastrophe."

Tommy actually doesn't know much about the disaster more than 200 years ago, because some historical records on the market are incomplete, and many core secrets are already in the hands of the state.

The real situation that the people know is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the truth is hidden under the water. Tommy looked around. Tommy knew many of the presidents here, because if he wanted to enter the world of power, he must be familiar with these people. of.

After all, these presidents represent the highest power of the country. Many people in the power circle have been passed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, it is the families of these presidents who control the center of power.

Tommy has known these things for a long time. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the center of power without extreme luck. There is no one like Tommy who originally wanted to take the blame but unexpectedly seized the opportunity.

Power and economy have long been tightly tied together, and those who have become powerful and capital have already begun to have a hereditary system 200 years ago. This invisible situation is unknown to outsiders, but Tommy is At a certain high-level gathering, I heard a few drunk people talking about the matter. They clearly told which families some of the young people at the banquet came from, and there were presidents in these families.

Tommy was shocked at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt disappointed. The two largest factions in the country, GHD and MZD, both took turns in the position of president. The two factions seemed to be constantly fighting, but in fact they were just fighting each other. Just kicking a ball around.

Tommy has carefully studied some of the things that the two factions have done after taking office in the past few years. They are throwing some problems at each other, and then the other side fights back. They have only one purpose in doing this, which is to put on a show in front of the people.

As long as the people begin to divide and believe everything from the two factions, the people's energy will be consumed in various things where the two sides kick each other back and forth, and it will be harder for them to get closer to the truth.

Under the double deception of money and power, the people have become increasingly unmotivated. Many people have even felt that this has been the case for their entire lives, and even their future children will be the same. Too many people have already resigned themselves to their fate. .

Seeing Tommy's serious expression, Oleben laughed.

"President Tommy, you should have realized such a cruel thing a long time ago."

Tommy nodded and stared at the old men in the freezer. What Tommy didn't expect was that they actually wanted to continue living, in order to press the pause button on the life that was about to disappear when technology developed in the future.

"I don't like them that much and I would throw them all out if I could."

Oleben was stunned at first, but then burst into laughter.

"As expected of you, President Tommy."

Tommy laughed.

"It was just a joke."

Oleben smiled and nodded, but seeing the confusion on Tommy's face, he probably knew what Tommy was going to ask. Oleben snapped his fingers, and soon a robot brought some drinks and food.

After the two sat down, Tommy looked at President Brown not far away. He looked to be 70 at most and was very well-kept.

"Why would he know that there will be such technology in the future?"

"Human exploration has indeed discovered a method that can sustain life on that asteroid, and this method has been proven to work on humans."

Tommy stood up in shock, Oleben pulled Tommy with a smile and said.

"There is no need to be so surprised, President Tommy. You will know these things sooner or later. I invited you here today just to talk to you about what you want to know. According to our speculation, your presidential re-election cycle It’s very long-lasting.”

Tommy looked at Oleben doubtfully and said.

"The previous system that each president could only be re-elected once was abolished more than 100 years ago. Do you know why?"

Tommy said after thinking for a moment.

"For the integrity of this country, for a certain period of time, to centralize power."

Oleben was a little surprised. His face was solemn, but he looked at Tommy with admiration.

"Sure enough, President Tommy, you are very smart. Now this country has reached the point of being divided. If it weren't for you, maybe a war would break out in the next one or two years. Once the war starts, the northern alliance will overwhelm it in one fell swoop. That’s when everything gets really confusing.”

Oleben said, looked at Brown, and then said.

"This president, after re-election and retirement, began to come back here and plan for the future. Many presidents will eventually come here, and they will naturally want to continue living."

Tommy laughed.

"What's the point of living with such a body? Everything they have done has brought the entire country to where it is now."

Oleben raised his glass, and the two took a sip. Tommy seemed a little uncomfortable in such a room. After all, in Tommy's opinion, these people only think about themselves and never think about the country.

In the past, the United States of the World has always relied on wars to make money all over the world, and constantly relied on tough means to get benefits and let the world pay for itself. However, after encountering a catastrophe, although the United States of the World has survived, there is no place for them to make money outside.

In the end, the contradiction shifted to the inside, so the inside will always cause a lot of problems at the bottom, so as to make money by the people at the bottom, constantly accumulate wealth, and constantly control power.

"It really doesn't make much sense. If you want, President Tommy, you can freeze yourself here in the future."

Tommy laughed, and he realized it immediately.

"Some of your senior military officials are the same."

Oleben nodded.

"My great-grandfather is still freezing down there, and there are several of them, as is my grandfather and my father."

Tommy suddenly felt sad, because such a country has been completely controlled by these people, forever controlled, as long as they have children, it can be passed down from generation to generation.

"I know you don't like this idea very much, and you must hate it in your heart, but the world after the disaster is much more serious than you think."

Although Tommy has seen some videos of the disaster, he doesn't know more specific things.

"What do you mean by the Brilliant City you just mentioned?"

Tommy didn't quite understand, then Oleben stood up, turned on a crystal screen, and then called up a world map.

"This is what the world looked like in the past, and the Brilliant City I'm talking about is here."

Oleben pointed, Tommy stood up, Oleben drew a line, and then the mileage appeared. They were more than 20,000 kilometers away from the Brilliant City in a straight line.

"Does that mean that there is still a civilization called Brilliant City among humans now?"

Oleben nodded.

"This civilization is like us, and is also closed in the world after the sun disappears. Their technology is already very advanced. We have only seen some video files sent from Asgard, and it is basically certain that their technology level is not lower than ours."

"Wait."

Tommy recalled what Oleben said at the beginning, and he asked in astonishment.

"You mean, now there is a way for Brilliant City to extend the life of humans?"

Oleben nodded, and then smiled happily.

"But it is almost impossible for us to establish diplomatic relations with them now. This involves the issue of Stka, you should have understood it."

Tommy hummed, he did not quite understand the research on Stka, because Collins told Tommy before that the plan to use Stka to produce energy had been in place for a long time.

Oleben sighed, and then drank a sip with Tommy, and then he snapped his fingers, and the chairs and small table of the two slowly moved.

"Let's talk slowly in another room."

Tommy hummed, and after a while they moved to a room full of green plants, with rockery and a small pool. Tommy got up and lay on the sofa comfortably, taking a piece of dried meat and eating it.

"Why did Sterka exist so long ago?"

Tommy didn't quite understand. After all, it existed before the disaster. This kind of thing sounds like someone has traveled through time and space.

Oleben said with a smile.

"Do you know how people all over the world viewed Area 51 in the past?"

Tommy shook his head.

"This was once one of the most mysterious places in the world. The biggest rumor is that aliens were captured."

Tommy was a little unbelievable.

"Really? There are aliens?"

Oleben smiled and shook his head.

"There are no aliens, but there are alien products."

Tommy got up from the sofa immediately, and half of his drunkenness had disappeared.

"Is it true?"

Oleben nodded and then spoke.

In 2030, the United States discovered an unknown signal in a certain sea area. This signal was different from any previous signal.

So Area 51 immediately went out to investigate. Following this special signal that emitted energy, they salvaged a special object in a sea area. It looked like some kind of cabin, with a Sterka lying inside.

Tommy widened his eyes in astonishment, and Oleben laughed.

"Or it could be a humanoid creature with a similar structure to Sterka."

Then a large number of scientists gathered in Area 51, and they began to study this mysterious thing, but they knew nothing. This was not life, but more like a product of the mechanized era.

This research lasted for decades until 2076, when there was finally a breakthrough. This research began to turn around because they found that this thing began to glow, as if responding to something.

However, one day this substance entered the body of a scientist, and his body began to undergo amazing changes, gradually becoming the appearance of Sterka, and possessing very powerful power.

This thing surprised every scientist present, and then they conducted various studies on this mutant scientist, and then confirmed one thing, that this mutant new species can provide a lot of energy.

At that time, this incident attracted the attention of the top leaders of the United States. They began to allow scientists to conduct some experiments in the outside world. They conducted experiments on animals. Animals would not mutate, but humans would.

Then these scientists put the experiment on the neighboring country MX. They successfully mutated many people and then captured them, and then began to study drastically.

However, a disaster occurred later, the experiment was terminated, and the country began to be destroyed.

Everyone had to fight for survival, and when the country began to stabilize, the plan was discovered by President Brown, so in the end President Brown decided to throw these substances on a large scale, let these substances enter neighboring countries, and let all the humans there mutate.

Such a plan shocked everyone present at the time, but Brown said that our future is a world of energy famine. If new energy can be produced in advance, we can have a future.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus, and the United States of the World sent the most advanced fighter jets to sprinkle all the alien substances on MX where there were still people alive. After decades, when humans began to be able to walk on the ground, they saw these Stkas when they went to MX.

The research project was restarted, and then 150 years ago, humans began to contact the Stokka for the first time, and began to establish diplomatic relations and trade with them.

"You should know something about what happened later."

Tommy drank a glass of wine with a heavy heart. He didn't expect that those were not alien creatures, but the products left behind by the United States.

"So now we can have a steady supply of energy, President Tommy, some things are understandable."

Tommy laughed, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then laughed.

"Understandable? Brown does have a great vision, but this is based on treating those Stokka as non-humans, and we will pay a heavy price for doing this one day."

Oleben also nodded.

"Indeed, the backlash has begun now. Recently, we have found that our weapons against Stokka have begun to gradually fail. I don't know why. The weapons that could kill with one blow in the past are failing. This is very serious."

Tommy looked at Oleben and asked.

"What's going on, what weapons?"()
