Chapter 234
In this intense work, six months have passed again...
The whole society has been in a very tense working state, remote negotiation, war mobilization , Weapon production, everything is slightly chaotic from the very beginning, and it has become well-organized. Five hundred thousand people have exploded with the greatest productivity in history!
The main theme of the war has not changed. The working atmosphere inside the Earth Era spaceship and the surface industrial base has been relatively depressing, as if the war is about to break out.
What the ordinary people don’t know is that the long-distance negotiation with alien civilization has been ongoing...
For Wang Junpeng, it was a very difficult six months. . Everyone’s quality of life began to decline sharply, almost restored to the state of hibernation, a large number of production lines were transferred to the development of weapons, and people had to live a life of poverty...
Tighten your belt The production of nuclear bombs is not just talking about it, you have to do it yourself, and brace oneself has to stick to it!
Wang Junpeng is even more miserable. Someone else bought war bonds, equivalent to a future deposit, and a little interest. It’s a bit harder now, but there is still hope for the future.
He is penniless!
The speculation has completely failed. He has completely become a pauper. The original deposit has been used up a long time ago, and he even owes a certain amount of money, although the amount is not too big...
Especially, in this turbulent situation of public opinion, there are a few guys who risked the world and reselling things have been arrested, typically, and their heads have been broken by unfathomable mystery!
The government's punishment of the assailants is not painful or itchy. A sum of money was fined, detained for 10 days and then released. It also won a lot of praise from the people.
The Internet has even launched a "Hero of Beating" program, calling on people to donate money to bail those who beat criminals.
If the government can gain sufficient strength externally, then internal noise will appear insignificant.
The new weapons and equipment being continuously developed, the daily news reports are stimulating people's hearts, and they are enough to suppress the war weariness due to the reduced quality of life.
Currently, there is no way to defeat the enemy head-on. The people need a channel to vent. Of course, they point the finger at the merchants who can live with rare goods. Some people think it is these merchants who are hoarding goods, which has caused the current quality of life embarrassment. Phenomenon...
At most, there are only a few experts, who symbolically jumped out to call for "legislative work", "violence cannot be controlled by violence", etc., but they are just talking about it...
What made Wang Junpeng's heart relieved was that he had already donated all the living supplies he had hoarded in advance. Not only was he not beaten, but he also won a lot of applause and became a man of high morals.
Anyway, I have washed myself white, which is the only thing to be thankful for.
Including the friendship once lost is back. There is also the admiration of a beautiful girl...
When he remembered the process of finding a girlfriend, he had a very strange feeling. His girlfriend is responsible for the education of infants and young children. As a result, the entire infant and young child rearing plan is delayed and he can only serve as a community worker. Wang Junpeng happened to meet him when he was donating a lot of materials...
"It's really... weird that I turned into a generous person."
However, Wang Junpeng knows deeply that his personal settings in front of others are completely fabricated, in case they get caught by them. Knowing that I once wanted to be a speculative businessman... I was shuddering instantly.
Noble morals!
Who would want to donate everything if it weren't forced to do so!
He patted his head, at that time...why did he suddenly lose his brain?
"...Ah, very good!"
"The first atomic bomb is already under construction! It will be detonated in one month, very good!"
"Awesome!"
Xu Jie is still as heartless as before, so he yelled at the news.
Wang Junpeng sighed. This simple old friend didn’t dislike himself. It shouldn’t be sold out. As for other insiders, it’s not necessarily true. Maybe it’s back. I’m thinking about it...
Thinking about it, he couldn’t control so much. He started thinking about making money again. Now the speculation has failed and he has no money. The business is very poor. He is also sorry to work here, and he can only do some chores in the community, such as supervising garbage sorting, maintaining public order, and resolving neighborhood disputes.
This kind of simple work, the salary is bound to be very low.
It takes a long time for my girlfriend to drink a cup of milk tea, but how can I survive?
It’s not that he is greedy for material things. Without material things, it’s impossible to have a good life!
He is very poor now!
"Hey, I said, Lao Peng, your brain is so smart, don't keep using it for crooked ways! There are people in the world who are smarter than you, and they work hard, but you are still honest Just a little..."
Xu Jie saw that he was thinking about things again, persuaded, "Our civilization is not Earth, how can there be that many loopholes? With such a small population, good reputation is what It’s really good! Just work honestly, and no one exploits us. It’s not unfair to take as much as you do..."
The business of the mobile phone repair shop is getting worse and worse. Xu Jie has already signed up. Participated in the training of the surface production team. Although the surface staff has been maintained at around 60,000, they still have to rotate.
Anyway, as long as you are really willing to do it, the entire civilization will have no worries about finding a job.
"How about you also sign up for a training class."
"Hey, OK! OK! ... the most profitable things are written in the criminal law, you think I am Stupid? Hey, the training class... let me think about it again." Wang Junpeng shook the head very irritably.
As for whether he is the smartest person in spaceship, he certainly isn't. Even if he is narcissistic, he still thinks that is impossible. Like Brother Yuan from the Ministry of New Civilization Development, Brother Dong from the Ministry of Information are all top smart people. He's just clever at best.
I don’t dare to violate crimes or something...especially after finding a girlfriend, you have to maintain an image of noble morals!
Wang Junpeng walked out of the room with such a sigh and wandered around in the square in Area A. There are often some corporate recruitment information here. Anyway, no matter how unwilling he is, he still has to find a job. Starting a business or something is simply too difficult.
Life is like this, most likely not going well. This civilization does not have the so-called Heaven's Chosen Child, and there is no rich second generation. Everyone has to be on the same starting line. The only thing that can help is "knowledge" or "ability".
"Damn it, impossible always rely on the brother's relief, or eat a woman's soft rice...no matter how cheeky!"
Suddenly, he saw a certain place The vast crowd, all kinds of discussions and exchanges, were simply very lively, and they hurriedly joined in.
I took a casual glance. I thought it was a career like recruiting soldiers.
After that, Wang Junpeng was dumbfounded.
"...recruiting interstellar diplomats?"
What's the situation? !
"Dude, what's the matter with the recruitment of diplomats, do you know?"
"It is said that the negotiation between the enemy and us has made some progress."
"What Progress?"
A fatty is talking: "We impossible to destroy the other party in a short time, and the other party also destroys us in a short time. So... it is still necessary to communicate with each other. "
"If you can avoid fighting, let's try not to fight..." Several people were discussing in a low voice, and Wang Junpeng's ear moved, and he listened to these words in his heart.
"But, we don’t even know what the other party looks like."
"It is said to be a bit like Pangolin, intelligent, like hiding underground. Need to train a group of interstellar diplomats, come Perform the task of communicating with each other."
Just when everyone was discussing spiritedly, Zhang Yuan walked onto the stage, cleared his throat, and solemnly announced this fact.
Several reporters stood in front of the stage and broadcast live.
"First of all, I want to tell you that the negotiation with the Gliese civilization is indeed ongoing, and some diplomats are needed to investigate this civilization in depth. Even if the other party first fired a nuclear bomb against us, It is unwise to engage in irreconcilable war without major losses..."
Wang Junpeng quickly raised his hand: "Ah? Brother Yuan, is that really the case?"
"I feel so confused."
The people around us all burst into laughter. Many people on the Internet call Zhang Yuan "Brother Yuan", which can be said to be a naturally formed group of star fans. Earth Era has no entertainment stars, and can only chase after other kinds of "stars" like Zhang Yuan.
But it’s okay to ridicule casually on the Internet. In reality, it’s a bit weird to call "Brother Yuan" in person...Somehow they are high-level officials.
Wang Junpeng made a big red face and muttered in his heart: "Isn't this...nervous?"
Zhang Yuan didn't care about his name, and replied with a smile: "Retaliation The other party is indeed very relieved. If you punch me, I will give you a punch. But between civilization and civilization, it is not a fight between people. There is a real war... We are impossible, right? We need to pay. The price."
"The opponent is not an animal in the forest. It can be killed by a single bullet. We don't even know how strong the opponent is."
" We don't know what our strength is, we will be in a delicate balance..."
"Okay." Wang Junpeng was nodded, saying that he could understand.
Zhang Yuan continued: "Close to the subject, this profession is bound to be risky and has a high demand for personal abilities. Those who want to sign up should take a round of written examinations, and after passing the results, they will pay There will be two rounds of interviews."
"The number of people selected at the end is about 20."
"Because there is no corresponding professional population in spaceship, the degree and major will not be available for the time being. Requested... But the most basic requirements are: good eloquence, good adaptability, and more knowledge of etiquette..."
Interstellar diplomat!
All of a sudden, the whole square is boiling!
Even people who watched the live broadcast on the Internet rushed to the square to sign up.
When Earth Era just started, it was impossible to prepare for this profession.
After all, even Earth people have never been in contact with alien civilizations. Where would you consider these things?
Even more how, spaceship is also impossible to raise this kind of idle job. Before the entire accident, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was just a vacant post, and there was simply no manpower in it!
But now, it seems to be different. As the negotiations continue, it is necessary to train some specialized diplomats to deal with this civilization.
"Dealing with alien civilizations, this thing...sounds Interesting...it seems, it's okay." Just thinking about it, Wang Junpeng's heart beating faster and faster.
Firstly, this job really meets his professional needs.
Interstellar diplomat, the face is big enough to cover up your own stains, and it must be enough to cheat your little girlfriend.
The second aspect, this work is really interesting and interesting! The salary should also be high enough.
In the face of all kinds of weird creatures, there will definitely be a little bit of danger, but... this kind of challenge and fun is not comparable to ordinary work.
Compared with the danger and the benefits gained, Wang Junpeng was silent for a moment, thinking for a few seconds.
It's done!
The entire written test and interview are quite smooth, and the test is more about adaptability and eloquence.
According to Wang Junpeng's ingenuity, is this not just reaching over to snatch away the grain, and he quickly stood out from many players.
What he worries most is the taint of rushing to buy things and try to resell them, whether it will hinder the job search, that is, whether the political trial can be passed. Although at that time, he used a number of ID cards, but the government really wanted to track it down, and he would definitely be able to find out...
He would not underestimate the so-called big data system. Although he Wang Junpeng Smart, but I dare not say that I can hide this powerful AI...
"So...the last few questions, please answer them. This work is bound to be dangerous. Who among us No one has ever been in contact with aliens, and no one knows what customs and ideas are in dealing with them."
"Maybe the other party’s custom is to eat diplomats?"
"What do you think of this danger?"
The interviewer in the last round of interviews was Zhang Yuan, and he was quite satisfied with this clever young man.
Several experts around are holding a form and discussing something secretly. Under the tracing of the big data system, it is easy to find out what a person has done.
Including the first person who ate the crab of "repairing old mobile phones", and then went to the back to buy supplies and try to resell...
But this stain is not a major event. Anyway, Zhang Yuan seems to be acceptable, at best it can only be regarded as a little clever.
Judging from Wang Junpeng's decisive and decisive donation of all materials, this person's timing is very accurate, he can always be one step ahead of others, and he is quite decisive.
Anyway, there are disadvantages and advantages, so you can accept it.
Wang Junpeng did not know these private discussions. Faced with such a tricky question, he thought for a few seconds and talked freely: "Danger and opportunity have always been proportional to the position of a diplomat. The equivalent to is a just and honorable spy. Although dangerous, if the ability is sufficient, all kinds of information obtained are more important than the production of a few nuclear bombs!"
"For me personally, I like this very much. This kind of challenge. And, I also like the glory that this position brings..."
"As for what you said, in case the other party’s custom is to eat up diplomats...this kind of risk, I don’t think there is much I’m so worried."
"Why? Because under the same circumstances, we are considering the other party’s cultural customs, and the other party will certainly consider our cultural customs. Our civilization believes that we eat the other’s diplomats. It is an extremely bad behavior or even war provocative behavior. What will the other party think?"
"If the other party still insists on eating us diplomats under such circumstances, then there are two situations. One is that the other civilization’s civilization is extremely conceited and narcissistic, trying to impose its own values on other civilizations. I think this civilization is an extreme danger, and there is simply no need for communication. If a diplomat is dead, it can only be regarded as death in vain."
"Second, the other party’s intelligence is very poor, I can’t think of these. They are too stupid to think of the consequences after eating diplomats."
"I think these two possibilities are just now. According to the available information, the probability is very low. The group of Gliese people are very intelligent, so don’t worry."
Zhang Yuan nodded, then asked: "Then, when the negotiation between the two parties breaks down , Civilization is at war, how do you choose when you are facing a mortal situation?"
"I..." Wang Junpeng wanted to bludgeon a reason and made a generous statement, but at the last minute, he was still honest Said: "The first is to find a way to survive, hoping that civilization can save me."
"If you really can't survive, then choose to let more people survive...return the last-hand information, it should be In this way, there are no more ideas."
"Very good!" Zhang Yuan nodded, "Remember this choice you made today. There is nothing more, wait for the notification..."
Witnessing Wang Junpeng leaving the room, Zhang Yuan lightly sighed in relief. This guy can be said to be the most satisfying type among this batch of interviewers. Other people always have more shortcomings, either they are not very articulate, or they tend to be shy and blush, etc., or they are a little naive...
Yes, naivety is the biggest problem, Earth Era There are not too many dark sides in the humanistic environment of China. In addition, all the astronauts recruited by at first are youngsters. Where there are messy unwritten rules and the like, the people's edges and corners are more distinct. There are not many people who are that smooth.
The reason why I want to recruit a group of diplomats so urgently is because...
This Gliese civilization will soon send a group of alien diplomats. Go inside the Earth Era spaceship!
