Zhang Ming drew an image of the earth on the ground.
His geographical knowledge was average, and after struggling for a long time, he could barely describe the outlines of the seven continents and four oceans.
In the past, I would never have understood the beauty of the news network; today, I am paying attention to the world situation all day long, and I wish that the news network could be broadcast all day long.
Due to frequent earthquakes, high-rise buildings are no longer safe, and megacities are dying at an extremely fast rate.
The real estate industry completely collapsed within a month, leaving behind a large group of sufferers who owed a large amount of debt to the banks.
In this case, people are unable to repay their mortgages, and it is impossible to repay their mortgages: My house has collapsed, who cares about your bank's debt collection? Go away, you have no money! Even if you become a deadbeat, you have no money!
Large-scale breaches of contracts have led to large-scale bank bad debts, and depositors' money has naturally been lost, further triggering runs.
Finance, a virtual concept, affects all aspects of the operation of human society.
When finance is paralyzed, the economy is also paralyzed.
"In order to stabilize currency credit, banking financial institutions have established internal trading systems with gold as the basic unit."
"In response to the wave of bank runs, the monthly limit for citizens of Daxia to withdraw currency is 10,000 yuan."
Has the gold standard started again?
It seems to be a historical necessity.
With earthquakes and tsunamis that erupt from time to time, the country's productivity has dropped significantly. Inflation continues to soar, whether it is food, clothing, cars, or cutting-edge electronic products, such as Ai Crazy 999, Warwick 888 mobile phone, 4090 graphics card, and various chips.
, prices have soared, and some commodities, such as gold, have soared 30 times in one month, and silver has risen 20 times in one month.
Various electronic products have also increased by more than 2-5 times. Many ordinary people believe that these high-tech products are already the highest-tech products that humans can produce. In the next 20 or even 100 years, there will be no more advanced products.
of electronic products.
Zhang Ming: "..."
Radio: "Our country's current grain reserves are sufficient to meet the food needs of the entire people for a year without any grain output."
"Experts believe that the earthquake will not affect food production, and even due to the influence of climate factors, the food harvest in some areas will be unprecedented."
"The state has established a special management department to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as food, clothing and other daily necessities, rare goods, and high-priced trading."
Zhang Ming sat on a chair and listened to the radio.
It is difficult for him to imagine the current level of chaos in the world. The poor are starving, and the rich are still rushing to buy mobile phones and cars; cities are gone, but the countryside is popular; half of the countries in the world are paralyzed, and big countries are struggling to grow.
Daxia already has the best organizational ability among Blue Stars, and its ability to protect its people from starvation is the limit.
This does not exclude the possibility that the content in the broadcast may be slightly beautified. After all, the announcer Li Xianfeng is also a member of the system, and it is impossible for him to speak ill of the system.
"The power of nature is so terrifying."
"I don't know how much the impact has been on my parents. If I stay in a small county in my hometown, I should have enough food, right? By the way, my mother's gold necklace and gold ring should be worth a lot of money..."
Suddenly something occurred to me, and I took out a briefcase containing a total of 270,000 US dollars.
In a third-tier city, the down payment is light but heavy.
"My money has become a pile of waste paper before I have even used it?"
A pile of colorful dollar bills in his hand means: If you can, burn us! If you can, burn us!
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn’t bear to burn it.
Although it has become hairy, it is still valuable.
As long as the United States on the other side of the Pacific does not completely collapse, the US dollar will still have use value. US$270,000 may be able to buy several meals at KFC. The thought of this is quite delicious, and Lao Zhang feels like the saliva in his mouth is secreted.<
/p>
Li Xianfeng continued in his own unique voice: "Today's domestic news is finished. Next is the international news."
"Fuso Country announced the implementation of a national immigration plan, which is expected to disperse the country's population to South America, North America, Asia, Australia, Africa and other regions in the next 10 years."
"With the mediation of international joint organizations, the first batch of one million immigrants has officially arrived in Australia on ocean-going ships. Australia's Prime Minister Barrison expressed a warm and sincere welcome to these one million immigrants."<
/p>
"Australia is so good? They are not extradited to be slaves, are they all young ladies?" Zhang Ming was thinking wildly.
"The Dongfei Dam burst during a strong earthquake, and the number of victims in the flood areas reached 50 million. International joint organizations issued a fundraising appeal to avoid the subsequent humanitarian disaster."
"The largest chemical factory in North America, Erhai Goose Group, had a serious leak. About 340 tons of vinyl chloride leaked into the air..."
International news is worse than domestic news.
Happiness comes from comparison. As long as it is worse abroad, it will seem less miserable at home.
Even Zhang Ming himself felt a little inexplicable, as if his current life was acceptable.
But will mankind perish?
Obviously not. The disaster tolerance of modern countries is much higher than that of agricultural countries in the feudal era. Of the 8 billion people in the world... 500 million have disappeared.
In the broadcast, 500 million sounds like just a number, just like 500 million civilians died in the game. Without witnessing it with my own eyes, I have no idea at all.
Even if you hear these things every day, you will slowly become numb. When you first hear about various disasters, "boys lying on the beach", "seabirds polluted by oil", "explosion" will come to mind.
"The little girl running in the middle".
But now, all thoughts have turned into leaden nothingness, dissipating with the sea breeze...
Just like the description of the disaster in the history books: "Great famine, people eat each other", there is only one sentence.
Zhang Ming couldn't help but recall the sentence "The swallows return in spring and nest in the trees." It does not describe how human beings are, only cruelty.
The Mount Fuji volcano erupted, turning the surrounding area into scorched earth. The population death rate of Fuso Country was actually only a smaller eight-digit figure. After all, it is a large industrial country. As long as it is willing to pay a high price, there are still regions that are willing to accept high-quality citizens. p>
More deaths occur in poor and small countries.
They don't even have a chance to be reported in the news.
No one knows what happened to the civilians in those small countries, no one cares, and the mainstream public opinion in the world does not have enough energy to focus on them.
The so-called "I don't care about the rise of great powers, only the dignity of small people" is really nonsense in this era.
If the earth farts, people will be gone.
Without a strong country, who will care about your life and death? You were robbed, had a kidney stolen, committed suicide, starved to death, and you called for rescue, but who cares about you, idiot!
