Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Talks about the building plan and the Penglai project not only happen in the cafe of Jinling University, but also in every corner of the world. When Pan-Asia News announced the news, it immediately triggered a huge international response.

Even distant Mars colonies can hear the words "Penglai City" or "Jianmu" from the voice of people.

New London.

In a trendy decorated bar full of cyberpunk style, a man with a metallic luster on his arm gathered the holographic screen in his hand, freed his right hand to grab the glass, and took a sip of the ominous green cocktail Whispered with wine.

"Pan-Asian cooperation intends to build cities in the Pacific? What are those Asians thinking?"

Sitting next to him, a man who looked equally undressed dressed slowly interjected slowly.

"What are you thinking? Isn't it obvious? They plan to build the space elevator on the Pacific Ocean, and by the way build a city under the space elevator. The gods have unknowingly turned the Pacific Ocean into their back garden."

"Isn't it without this Penglai city? Now the entire Earth-Moon system is their back garden, not just the Pacific Ocean?"

"That's true ..."

"Anyway, this is a trample on international conventions!" At this moment, a deafening roar came suddenly, a drunk man holding his red wine rosacea and said rudely, "The Pacific The territorial sea belongs to all human beings, how dare they do it! "

At this time, the bartender standing behind the bar slammed the shaken cocktail on the bar and then gently pushed it in front of a guest.

Looking at the controversial guests, he spoke casually in a casual tone.

"Let's go with them, anyway, the Pacific Ocean and London are separated by 108,000 kilometers, and New London is separated by tens of millions of kilometers. Even if they drain the Pacific Ocean's water, it does not matter to us."

This is the truest thought in his mind, and also the thought of most people in this bar.

Anyway, it's too far from the earth.

What's more, even if they are unwilling?

The Pan-Asian First Fleet, however, is a starship battle group established with an extraterrestrial civilization as its imaginary enemy. So far, even if the starships of other regional alliances add up, it cannot match the total tonnage and combat effectiveness of this "invincible fleet".

Not to mention the North Sea Alliance, a rising star in the era of space navigation. They still have to rely on the strategy of opening and closing the eyes of air thieves and smuggling trade to divide the share of space trade in the hands of pan-Asian cooperation, even without the ability to compare on the same heavyweight. Even the space station Atlantis Space Station was built by East Asia Heavy Industries.

Faced with such hegemony, what room do they have for resistance?

Whether they are really for the community of human destiny or for their own selfish desires, this matter is not something they can control by their own will ...

Not only are the idlers in a small bar in the well of the New London City, but the North American Alliance headquarters far away on the earth, they are also worried about "the problem that they have no power to control."

Just as Pan-Asian cooperation took the initiative in public opinion and created momentum for the space elevator program, its high-level officials also sent invitations for diplomatic meetings to other regional alliances and regimes on the planet through diplomatic channels.

As for the content of the meeting

It's naturally related to the space elevator and the city on the Pacific Ocean.

To be honest, when hearing Pan-Asian cooperation to make such a decision, Chairman Dolan Camille's face was full of surprise. He has been the chairman of the North American Alliance for about six years. He is familiar with dealing with Pan-Asian cooperation.

Under normal circumstances, the attitudes of those pan-Asian people on diplomatic positions are quite moderate, and they will communicate with other regional alliances with a negotiated attitude no matter what.

But this time, it was not the same as usual.

It was not until after the chairman announced the plan to build a space elevator at the celebration of the ignition day that they knew afterwards that the Asians planned to insert a tube in the atmosphere, and the name of the tube was "Building Wood".

Carefully recalling all the past events during his tenure, Chairman Dolan Camille couldn't help falling into thought.

When did all this start?

and also……

What does that building wood mean?

"Planning the wood ..." Put down the invitation for diplomatic meetings, Chairman Camille looked at his chief of staff and frowned and asked, "What the **** is that wood?"

The chief of staff hesitated and said.

"It is said to be a stairway connecting the heavens and the earth in ancient Chinese mythology."

"Similar to the Tower of Babel?"

"Almost ... but that thing is not a tower, but a holy tree worshipped by the ancestors"

"It's irrelevant to study this kind of thing," the secretary-general standing next coughed heavily, interrupted the two men's irrelevant conversation, looked at the director sitting behind the desk, and said in a serious tone. Mr Chairman, what we need to discuss now is how to treat this invitation to a diplomatic meeting. "

According to the current international law, it is legally untenable for Pan-Asian cooperation to build civil engineering in the Pacific. In principle, they do not need to accept such a diplomatic meeting to negotiate a matter that they cannot accept at all.

Conversely, if they accept such an invitation, they are sending a signal.

That is, there is room for negotiation in this matter.

"How to deal with it? Of course, my attitude is against it. The Pacific Ocean is the high seas, whether it is a country or a regional alliance. If they are allowed to start construction there today, they will dare to include that area into the exclusive economic zone tomorrow. They will dare. Claimed there ... but the question is, are there better options? "

Forefinger tapped gently on the desk, watching the silent Secretary General, Chairman Camille sighed and continued.

"Actually from the beginning, we had no choice."

The Secretary General looked at him solemnly and continued.

"Not necessarily, if we can diplomatically join the South American Union, the North Sea Union, the Iberian-French Union"

"Then our starships add up, I'm afraid that it's only enough to go up to a fraction of the Pan-Asian First Fleet," interrupted the Secretary-General, and President Camille smiled bitterly and continued, "Do you really think that if you We have a clear position of rejection, will they abandon the plan? "

There was silence in the office.

Chairman Camille sighed softly, put the invitation to the diplomatic meeting in the holographic screen into the memo, then tapped on the closed button and leaned back on the office chair.

To be honest, compared to pan-Asian cooperation in the Pacific Ocean, what he is most worried about is not the impact of space elevators on the international structure, strategic balance, or ecological environment.

After all, the supremacy of pan-Asian cooperation was established as early as the 1950s, and it has been operating steadily for more than half a century. An extra space elevator will not fundamentally change anything.

What really worried him was another thing.

Although the possibility of a military conflict in the 22nd century is remote, it is all based on the diplomatic norms of "pacifism and non-intervention" in pan-Asian cooperation today. Even with the largest starship battle group, it has never considered putting it into aggressive operations against other regional alliances.

However, since Li Guangya took office as chairman, certain frightening things seem to be released subtly.

Camille couldn't describe exactly what it was, but he knew one thing.

Once those people choose to cross the border, the world will tremble.

This is beyond doubt ...
