Chapter 289
The important meeting of Shining Star Group's core executives is over, and the two major projects of "super battery" and "flying car" have been finalized as the focus of the group's future development, and the establishment of the group headquarters building - Shanfeng Building has been confirmed.
As for Zhou Xing's long-awaited plan to solicit clues to the origin of human beings with the '[-] billion prize money', as he wished, it caused an uproar all over the world.
Zhou Xing is now recognized as the most outstanding and richest scientist in the world. Ten billion dollars is just a drop in the bucket for him. With his current status and wealth, this 'ten billion bonus' is definitely not a joke.
The wages of avarice is death.
The huge wealth of tens of billions of bonuses is enough to make many people pay any price. However, the conditions of the clues to the origin of human beings have stumped all people with lofty ideals.
After the product launch event, countless netizens left their footprints in the Clues Solicitation and Announcement Area of the Shining Star Group's official website.
"Ten billion bonuses are hard to get! Who the hell can find such a bloody clue!"
"Paralyzed! Why do you want to ask for clues to this kind of problem? It's a huge sum of money. I can only watch."
"No one can claim this bonus, everyone, go to sleep!"
"Damn it, it's amazing to be rich! It hurts me to see it, so I'd better play a game to see it."
"It's so compelling to show off your wealth in this way, I'm convinced!"
"..."
The '[-] billion bonus' is like a piece of fat that can be seen but not touched. In just one day, hundreds of thousands of comments almost expressed the same meaning. Netizens expressed serious dissatisfaction with the requirements of the '[-] billion bonus'.
It is impossible for ordinary people to know the clues of the origin of human beings. However, it is not a problem for Gerhardt who has just participated in the "War of Insects". The Gate of Miracles seems to be an important clue to the origin of human beings.
After Gerhardt learned the news of the '[-] billion bonus', he was extremely confident that he could get a [-] billion bonus by virtue of the miracle door.
The location of the "Gate of Miracles" is a secret military base that blocks contact with the outside world. The only ones who can contact the outside world are General Wells, and there are only a handful of people left. Professor Manley, Colonel Nemo, As well as Colonel Carl, who was in charge of contacting the monitoring center, and him, a total of five people.
The general and the professor probably wouldn't sell the news of the 'Gate of Miracles' for the 'tens of billions of bonuses'. As for the others, Gerhardt can't guarantee it.
National loyalty is sometimes far less important than a piece of green banknotes, for fear of being taken first by others, but the military base, except for Admiral Wells, other people can only enter and cannot exit.
Now, how to leave this secret base is a big problem. Gerhardt has no idea and is secretly anxious.
"Sir, the general asked you to go to a meeting." A soldier walked into Gerhardt's office and ordered.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Gerhardt regained his composure, put on his military cap, and followed the soldiers to the military conference room.
After Gerhardt stepped into the conference room, his complexion changed slightly. The conference room happened to be: Professor Manley, Colonel Nemo, Colonel Carl, and General Wells who was sitting in the chair of the conference, so that the five of them could gain access to the outside world Information for five people.
"General!" Gerhardt saluted Admiral Wells.
"Sit down! Everyone is here, I have something to tell you today." General Wells' majestic eyes flicked over the faces of Gerhardt and the others one by one.
Gerhardt nodded, quickly sat down on the empty seat, looked at Admiral Wells, and listened to his lectures.
"You all know about the '[-] billion bonus', right?" General Wells looked at the crowd and asked straight to the point.
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other with a clear look on their faces. They had already guessed what was going on today, what General Wells was going to explain.
"Yes, General, I know." Gerhardt sighed helplessly and nodded
"Yes, General, I know that too." Professor Manley smiled frankly.
"General, I also know." Colonel Nemo and Colonel Carl nodded and said in unison.
"Well! Do you know why I called you here today? The news of the 'Gate of Miracles' must not leak out, otherwise,..." General Wells looked at them with serious eyes, and it was self-evident warned.
"Understood!" Gerhardt, Colonel Nemo and Colonel Karl all responded in unison with their expressions all terrified.
Since General Wells said this in person, he will definitely take relevant military measures. This means that the news that he wants to sell the "Miracle Gate" has become slim in the venue.
Gerhardt, Colonel Nemo and Colonel Carl were full of helplessness, and reluctantly waved goodbye to the 'tens of billions bonus'.
"General, because of the transmission from the giant worm, the number of people who know about the 'Gate of Miracles' has increased. I'm afraid..." Professor Manley smiled wryly, looked at General Wells and said with some concern.
"General, I agree with the professor. More people know this secret? I'm afraid it won't be kept secret for long." Comparing his heart to heart, he can't resist the temptation of tens of billions of money. How can others resist, Jha Te couldn't help but reminded aloud.
"Yes, General, I think so too." The tens of billions of bonuses just disappeared, Colonel Nemo said very unhappy.
Hearing this, General Wells fell silent.
The news of the 'Gate of Miracles' has not been leaked for so many years, which is closely related to the strict management measures of the military base.
Any soldier or technician entering this secret military base has signed a life-long service contract. Once entering this base, they cannot leave for life. There are only a few people who get information from the outside world, so this secret can be well kept.
However, the 'Gate of Miracles' transmitting the 'Giant Worm Creature' was a very serious event that had to be reported to the White House. The existence of the 'Gate of Miracles' was known to all the generals and scientists, and they could hold back the 'tens of billions bonus'. Temptation, keep this secret?General Wells' face changed, and he had no confidence at all.
The United States is a country where money is paramount. This country is highly developed financially, and even politics is full of money.
In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that there is no upper limit on corporate election contributions.This opens the door to "power and money politics". Without money, politicians cannot run for office, and they have to serve whomever they take money from. Some people in the West even make a metaphor: "Money is the mother's milk of democracy."
Just ask the politicians who can sell even 'democracy' for 'money', how could they resist the temptation of '[-] billion bonus'.
Thinking of this, General Wells' face became extremely bald. It seemed that the secret of the "Gate of Miracles" could not be kept.
