“When the end of the world comes” “It’s not an explosion, it’s silence”

The communication signal was interrupted, the lights kept flashing, the images on the screen were distorted, the children burst into sharp screams, the road fell into darkness, as if a huge black tide had swallowed the entire city, the buildings were covered by the night, only the dim The stars glowed dimly in the sky.

It was the largest blackout in the history of the United States, and few people knew that it all started with a small collision between the Eastern Power Grid and Osborne. It was not until the nightmarish 20-hour power outage ended that the trash cans clicked again, elevator doors opened, and underground trains rumbled. All these familiar sounds, power, water supply, and transportation gradually returned to normal in the vast area north of New York City.

As a result of this crushing defeat, Stark gained the greatest advantage. Ark's engines generate electricity cheaply, and Stark Industries has had a small off-grid power supply system from the beginning, so they just have to wait for grid-connected customers to sign up.

Osborne's performance in this regard is much inferior.

This is inevitable.

While the operating costs of a new solar system are next to zero, the initial investment is significant, and compared to the $50 per square foot cost of older energy collection systems, Osborne's new system is more powerful and slightly less expensive. There is a reduction, but for an average monthly income of $2,000, it is still worth considering. The company had no previous connections or relationships in the energy industry, making it difficult to attract important large customers. Still, the company made a handsome profit from the outage: some wealthy locals generously placed orders, and others came from neighboring towns who never wanted to worry about a blackout again.

Ji Guo Wangyang, although the profit of the new business is not high, at least the company's operations have almost no losses, and Shane does not have to invest too much.

This was great news for the academy, and even the ordinary people who were closest to them were rejoicing that the adventure had not failed.

Now they are talking about it.

"With the environmental crisis and aging equipment, the problems faced by the three major power grids will only increase." Mary Jane sat at her employer's desk and quickly turned the mechanical pencil in her hand. "I hope everyone can buy our products so that they can often live in the light."

"But this is only possible with government subsidies." Gwen Stacy had always cared about this place very much. Now she and Pete are classmates and come here every noon. Overall, Mary Jane and her Whether the relationship is good or not, she is used to this attitude, and she already knows everything here quite well.

Not long ago, Shane donated some solar panels to the New York Police Department through the chief's father, so this time neither the local police garage nor Stacy's home were affected by the power outage.

Now, she is arguing with Mary Jane about a new product.

"According to the social survey I did before, the popularity of new energy is not as optimistic as what the newspapers said. It also requires large subsidies from the government, otherwise many people will continue to wait and see. People are very dissatisfied with the power grid during power outages and say that they will be replaced as soon as possible. Replacement, but once the storm has passed, it will return to the old way of life.”

"Look, this is the opinion of society's elite." Mary Jane quipped. "You are fooling the people. They will always find problems to solve, especially when the power outages are getting more and more serious, and you know that winter is coming soon."

Speaking of accidents becoming more and more frequent, she suddenly raised her tone and at the same time glanced cautiously at her employer who was standing next to her like a personal secretary. Shane's actions could not be hidden from her, and the gentleman had no intention of hiding it. Now she saw At her suggestive glance, Shane could only shrug and remain silent.

He is not a destructive maniac, and certainly does not attack endlessly. Generally speaking, everything has a limit. This time, the other party broke the rules first. Even if it is just a shareholder, Shane has reason to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. But if he keeps going day after day for a small profit, even if he forces the other party to close down, he still has a reason to attack. It may not be in line with his long-term plans.

No one wants to deal with someone who is too aggressive. The reason why the sun is the source of life is because of its warmth, not its cruelty. Shane does not want to be like Gerard (the amazing) Lin Norman, who even kills his allies for the sake of peace of mind. They have to confront him.

Therefore, he just listened quietly without interrupting the conversation between the two girls.

Gwen disagreed with Mary-Jane, but her tone was gentle.

"I believe that more and more people will choose new solar power generation. It is indeed very good. My father's colleagues and my friends are planning to install it at home, but we must also see that its cost does require low- to medium-income people." Investors should consider it because they are the largest customer group. If they are unable to make a decision for the time being and have no urgent needs, they are likely to maintain their current status."
