Chapter 74 NO.0049: Disposal Plan

Jiang Zhou blinked again and again, and it took a long time before he realized what the other party had just said.

"Antimatter?"

But, because it sounded too incredible, he reconfirmed.

"Yes."

Booker answered by taking the filled wine glass from the bartender's robotic arm.

"That antimatter that is antimatter? Isn't it a code name or something else?"

Jiang Zhou continued to confirm.

"If you mean the antimatter that can produce about 9*10^13J of energy after each gram is annihilated with the same mass of positive matter and undergoes a complete mass-energy conversion...then yes, this is it."

After Booker finished speaking, he drank half of the wine in the glass in one go.

Jiang Zhou vaguely remembered that the energy released by each gram of antimatter was roughly equivalent to 4.3 tons of TNT explosives.In other words, two grams is enough to blow up the entire Nord resettlement area directly.

"I need something to drink too..."

For a while, Jiang Zhou felt that his mouth was dry, so he called the bartender to order a glass of golden soup for himself.

"The appraisal result is authoritative and valid... I asked Miss Shenlan to help me make the appraisal."

Booker said, pointing to the dark blue across the bar.

The latter nodded, then smiled and said:

"I really appreciate you, Mr. Erwin."

When Jiang Zhou heard this, what he originally wanted to say stopped on his lips.

He had learned before that the boss of the dark blue section was an agent arranged by the interim government of the resettlement area on the first floor.In other words, if she knows it, the bureaucratic organizations equivalent to the "tenth floor" will know...

"No, it's not like that."

As if guessing what Jiang Zhou was thinking, Shen Lan said:
"The news has not been reported, and the previous way of identification has nothing to do with those old men on the 'tenth floor'.

"In other words, only the three of us know about this matter at present."

Shen Lan's voice was very sincere, but what she said didn't reassure Jiang Zhou.

Because it sounds more like another form of threat.

"So, what do you want?"

So Jiang Zhou asked directly.

As for his words, the other party laughed out loud.

Although she was smiling at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were full of strange emotions.

"Me? What do I want? Well, before answering this question, I have to correct some of your points..."

Booker coughed lightly at this time, and the other party immediately rolled his eyes helplessly, then leaned forward and said:

"Okay, let's get to the point. First of all, with the printing authority of depth 4, it is impossible for you to sell it on the black market. Antimatter is an apocalypse-level contraband written into the Olympus agreement. It is also not allowed to be used in inter-human wars, even those mercenary kings in the city of one man dare not challenge the authority of the gods on this issue.

"Therefore, no one will dare to do business with you... They will just report you back to the company."

That's true.

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

He had inquired about the history compiled by the Olympus order before, although the history from the big impact to the new calendar was completely nonsensical, full of spring and autumn brushwork that beautified the history of the company's rise.But since the new calendar, those things that constitute the current order are still of great reference value.

Take, for example, the agreement that established the Olympian order.

The legacy of technology left in the abyss dark net is a force that can make human beings destroy themselves.In fact, in the first cyber domain war, when everyone confronted unrestrainedly with the black technology dug out from the abyss and dark net, it caused a real ecological extinction——the uninhabitable "" "Bad soil" is its testimony.

And the establishment of the Olympian order can be considered as a bottom-line clause for the continuation of the human race as a whole - no apocalypse-level weapons of mass destruction, no formation of legion-sized adjustment armaments, no extermination wars ...

Human society has thus entered the so-called "mercenary war" era.

Although Jiang Zhou didn't understand how those companies ensured that the agreements between them were mandatory—it was definitely not what they advertised anyway, and the company was out of a sense of responsibility to continue all mankind.

But the fact is that no one can trade prohibited items such as antimatter in the market, whether it is open or secret, from companies in the Olympian order to individuals who accidentally obtained black technology.

"Secondly, it is impossible for you to print out those two grams of antimatter as a bargaining chip for your own survival... I know you have this plan, but it is impossible for you to do it."

Dark Blue continued.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou and Booker looked at each other.

The two of them had previously thought of going together.

If you don’t sell it, then you can print it out and use it yourself—after all, the size gap between the Icarus Liberation Front and those companies is too huge, if they have two grams of antimatter in their hands as the final table-breaking If the method is used, it can completely establish deterrence and strive for a larger living space for itself.

"why?"

Jiang Zhou asked immediately.

"First of all, it is very difficult for you to gather the materials needed to print those two grams of antimatter. The degree of control over those things in the market is far beyond your imagination. For example, helium-3 on the list needs [-] grams. Want to I'm afraid you're going to rob the Fusion Bureau if you get it.

"Secondly, are you sure you want to use the lives of millions of people in the Nord resettlement area as a bargaining chip to compete with the company who is more ruthless? It shakes their bottom line, which will only make the company label you as an anti-human terror Molecules, and then wipe out all of you with a thunderbolt."

Dark Blue stirred the olives in the martini glass and replied.

Jiang Zhou was speechless for a while, but it wasn't that he didn't know what to say. He actually had a lot of reasons to say, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them again.

After all, as a member of the Nord resettlement area, the other party is definitely qualified to say that-who wants to live above a bomb that may explode at any time?
After a moment of silence, Booker said:

"I see. You mean, if we use antimatter as a deterrent, those companies will become the uncompromising party, right?"

Although the governments of resettlement areas are largely puppets in the hands of companies, their existence is also the result of checks and balances between companies.It is precisely because of the vacuum of mutual restraint among various companies that the resistance organization such as Icarus can survive and develop.

For example, Pluto's previous disciplinary action against Icarus had borne a lot of political pressure.Afterwards, other super-corporate branches stationed in the Nord resettlement area took the opportunity to attack and eroded some of Pluto's hidden "ten-layer" forces.

Whether Icarus himself is willing to admit it or not, their positioning is just a relatively independent pawn in the mutual game between those companies.

But the game between enterprises also has a bottom line.If Icarus really announces to the outside world in a high-profile manner, he controls two grams of antimatter in his hands, and wants to use this as a deterrent.Then what awaits them is definitely the joint strangulation of all companies - mastering apocalypse-level weapons is a matter of principle, and under the Olympus order, the other party will not give them the option to negotiate.

At that time, they who hold the button of perish together, should they press it or not?
To sum it up, they can neither sell nor print out this printing permission.Even if it is finally printed, they will not be able to establish a suitable deterrent system with these two grams of antimatter.

Extremely tasteless.

Jiang Zhou felt that his previous excitement had been splashed with cold water.

So what to do, is it possible to use those two grams of antimatter to generate electricity?

But unfortunately, this cannot be done—printing antimatter is a technology with a depth of 4, but a controllable antimatter reactor is a technology with a depth of 7 or less.It's as if there is a difference of nearly 150 years between the hydrogen bomb and the controllable fusion reactor.

These two grams of antimatter can only be used as a one-off bomb.

Jiang Zhou put down his cup, then took a deep look at Shen Lan and said:

"I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable. But I don't understand. If this is the case, why don't you report these things to the 'tenth floor' or the company?"

After Jiang Zhou's voice fell, Shen Lan immediately showed a resentful expression.

She glanced at Booker with resentment in her eyes, and it wasn't until this time that Jiang Zhou realized that she seemed to have misunderstood.

"It's not that she didn't want to report it, but after knowing that the printing authority of the depth 4 is two grams of antimatter, I directly controlled her...I called you here mainly for this matter."

Booker on the side explained plainly.

"So you said before, you want to discuss with me how to deal with it..."

Jiang Zhou froze for a moment.

Booker nodded:

"It's to discuss how to deal with Deep Blue. After all, she is the agent of the 'Tenth Floor'."

"He really is a man who has no gentleman's demeanor at all. He did it the moment the appraisal result came out..."

Regarding this, Deep Blue continued to stir the olives in the cup and said with a resentful expression.

"Thank you very much for the things you told us before. What you said earlier further proved that it was the right choice for me to directly control you. Otherwise, once this information is reported, Icarus will be destroyed immediately disaster."

Booker looked unmoved.

"I've said it all, the best way to deal with it is to hand over the printing permission to the government of the resettlement area, so that you can get a reward. Although it's not much, it's better than staying in your hand and dying."

Dark Blue raised her head a little irritably and suggested.

This is the 500 yuan pennant in this era?
Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

"No, if they are handed over to the government of the resettlement area, then they must be returned to the company in the end."

Booker refused without thinking.

"Then do you think the company will not stockpile antimatter? They will be short of these two grams? Although it is banned, I am sure that the antimatter reserves in the hands of every Olympus company are enough for them to wipe out the rest of the earth. Let the good land be plowed again."

"So they don't care about these two grams of antimatter, but I can't."

Booker replied.

"Okay, okay..."

Feeling unable to communicate, Shenlan covered her forehead with some headaches, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"How you want to deal with things is your business. Anyway, I have already made it clear about the risks. The only thing I care about now is - how are you going to deal with me?"

She said a little self-absorbed.

Booker looked at Jiang Zhou upon hearing this.

This matter not only involves the printing authority of Deepin 4, but also involves the "paradox" of the existence that handed over this thing to them.

And that's why he called Jiang Zhou over.

"It's impossible to kill her."

Jiang Zhou said immediately.

No matter what they were going to do, the death of the spokesperson of the resettlement district government in the underground transitional city would definitely startle them.

Booker nodded, then said:

"So we need at least a month to prepare."

"One month?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

"I have access to the materials needed to print...in a month's time. After that, it doesn't matter if they know about it or not."

Booker replied.

"So? Are you really planning to print out these two grams of antimatter as the organization's trump card?"

Jiang Zhou continued to ask.

To this, Booker replied:

"It's not just a hole card... I want to use this to win the independence of the underground strata in the resettlement area."
