Blackstone Code

Lynch knew what Connor was thinking, he wanted to be one of the "history."

If human civilization can continue, "the last president of the Federation" is very, very attractive to him who basically has no pursuits!

The people of the Federation may not have the three immortal ideas, but the essence of human beings, or creatures, is to pursue immortality through various methods.

Becoming a part of history is also a way of immortality. At least you have permanently left your own page in history in the form of a "fragment".

Instead of being forgotten by the whole world a few years or more than ten years after death like ordinary people.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is being forgotten and denied.

Lynch took another sip of his drink. He looked at Connor and said pointedly, "Human civilization may not be able to last that long. Maybe in ten million years, we will all become prehistoric relics."

"They can't decipher our words, and no one knows what happened in this history."

"Just like we have no way of knowing what revelations those ancient humans left us..."

Connor sighed, "Suddenly I feel bored. Let's leave it like this for now. Maybe I will leave with you then."

"Come to my Paradise Six?" Lynch invited, "I will make it a real paradise."

Connor smiled again, "Maybe, who knows?"

At noon, the Press Office of the Presidential Palace held a press conference and stated that it would announce the truth before May.

I hope that everyone will wait rationally during this period, and at the same time, it also reminds everyone that mankind is facing an unprecedented and huge disaster.

In the face of this huge disaster, people should unite instead of questioning each other and being hostile to each other...

The speech by the Presidential Palace had some effect, but it also led to the beginning of obvious social unrest.

The Commonwealth society is a... very inclusive society, and religious freedom is something that is written into the charter.

Even polygamy can exist legally, and there is nothing that federal society cannot tolerate.

But this kind of inclusiveness may not be a problem in normal times, but now it is not so friendly.

There are some sects similar to those targeting the end of the world. Most of their teachings center on "dedication" and "rebirth."

To put it simply, they dedicate everything to their gods, and then they can get a chance to be reborn under the apocalypse.

This kind of religious fraud is actually very low-tech. The Catholic Church has condemned these people on TV many times, but some people are willing to believe it.

There is no way, with limited intelligence and clues, the pressure to survive is huge, and people can only vent this pressure through their own methods.

Maybe being deceived seems stupid to smart people, but at least these people have peace of mind.

Leading companies in all major industries in society are holding intensive meetings. The secret can no longer be kept secret, so why not make it completely public?

After more than a month of various meetings, a temporary interim system was finalized.

On May 2, Congress made a public address to the world.

This time all members of Congress participated, and this was also the first live broadcast of this scale.

The President of the Senate used a very heavy voice to tell everyone the truth they longed for. The world was about to "freeze", but the federation had already begun to carry out targeted countermeasures, that is, the shelter plan.

The entire federation and even the entire world were in an uproar, and countless people couldn't believe what they saw and heard.

Even if they had such thoughts and judgments in their minds before, it was still difficult for them to accept the moment the truth was announced!

Before the live broadcast ended, people were crowded outside the Congress. They didn’t know why they came, but they just wanted to stand here and hear the politicians tell them with their own ears that all this was true.

Lynch was also watching the live TV broadcast, and Connor finally decided to leave with him, but he had not yet decided which shelter to go to.

Almost all shelters welcome him to join. As the federal president, his "use" is actually very great.

At least he will be very useful in appeasing public opinion, and the power of "authority" will be further amplified in the doomsday environment.

As the President of the Federation, Connor is undoubtedly one of the most authoritative people. What he says is easier for the people at the bottom to believe than what the ruling class of the Refuge Refuge says.

Lynch also welcomes him. If used well, Connor can at least ensure that the shelter goes through the initial development period smoothly.

Penny sat next to Lynch, holding his hand so tightly that her joints were a little white.

Catherine was sitting in her seat, and her position was very forward, in a more conspicuous position, but her attention was not there.

Just like many people who don't want to believe "bad news", Penny has always held on to one in 10,000 hopes. What if... none of this will come true?

But when Congress announced the news so solemnly, she still felt great fear and uneasiness.

filming?

Does it make sense?

Representative of the Federation Actress?

Does it make sense?

The world is going to fucking end, who cares if you're a big star?

This is huge bad news for many people who are struggling and have already achieved some results and status!

And the bad news doesn't stop there.

"What should we do next?" Penny looked at Lynch and asked nervously.

Lynch seemed very indifferent, "What you should have done before, you will do in the future."

"When we enter the shelter era, the construction of spiritual civilization will be more important than the construction of material civilization, and you will find that people's pursuit of stars will become even more crazy."

"They can eat less and drink less, but they can no longer be energetic and enjoy less entertainment. You can continue to use your expertise and do what you are doing now."

People will be very uneasy when they are about to enter a strange environment, but if you tell them that you only need to do what you usually do best, their emotions will stabilize.

Penny looked at Lynch, "That means we still have to make movies and TV series, right?"

Lynch nodded in agreement, "More than before!"

This made Penny relax a little, but she still held Lynch's hand tightly, "Then...the things I am doing now?"

Lengqi held her hand and said, "There are still more than ten years. You don't need to think about such distant things now. Maybe the accident will come earlier than tomorrow?"

Penny didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she felt Lynch's "power" and her emotions became more stable. "If we enter the shelter, who is Boss?"

“Will there still be a sanctuary government?”

"Will there still be a federation?"

Lynch looked at her with a smile, "There is no federation, no government, just me and the Blackstone Group..."

Less than half an hour after Congress announced the catastrophic news, the whole world suffered an unprecedented stock market crash, with almost all stocks falling.

Note that "almost" is used here, because there are still some stocks that are bucking the trend and soaring!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lynch gave a public speech outside the Blackstone Capital building. Many reporters and media came. Wearing a very decent formal suit, he stood in the center of everyone's attention, as if he was standing at the center of the world!

"...It's a pity that the federal government announced this news. In fact, we only knew this news a year earlier than you did."

"Over the course of a year we verified the authenticity of these messages and tried as much as possible to salvage this, but obviously we failed."

"We cannot defeat nature. When we think nature is just the planet beneath our feet, the universe is responding to our arrogance!"

"We are like tiny specks of dust in this world, and we have failed miserably!"

"The only choice we have is to continue human civilization before disaster strikes, so we have the shelter plan."

"Blackstone Group will undertake the construction of the shelter..., and at the same time, Blackstone Group will comprehensively launch a series of services and plans for doomsday and shelter solutions to ensure that more people can enter the shelter smoothly and have a comfortable life. environment."

"Next, our employees will introduce our new businesses to you. First, we invite Ms. Vera, our vice president of Blackstone Bank and director of the Federal Savings Bank, to introduce our new letter of credit business..."

Lynch stepped aside, and Vera walked to the podium. She was wearing a knee-length skirt. Although the weather was not yet that warm, she had to say that she was well dressed.

In fact, the letter of credit business is, to put it bluntly, the business of converting deposits into credit points, and the business of credit point loans.

Blackstone Bank and six other major banks jointly promote this business, and the credit points will be used as part of the residents' points in the future shelter system.

To open a letter of credit account, you need to pay one thousand yuan, and each ounce of gold can be exchanged for one credit point.

Each credit point can be exchanged for one resident point of equal value, and the system is shared with the federal government.

In other words, people can now use their banknotes and gold to exchange for credit points and resident points.

Of course the Federal Sol is also convertible, but it is subject to exchange rate fluctuations…

The announcements made by the other six major banks were similar. In an instant, there were long queues at the door of every bank, all for the purpose of opening accounts and saving credit points.

Then came the president of Blackstone Insurance, who announced to people that he would provide a series of insurance types and services such as "doomsday insurance" and "shelter insurance". You can save money now and enjoy it in the future.

In and out of words, he kept telling people that today's money will become less and less valuable as time goes by, so it is better to buy various insurances early to create an unbreakable shield for life and future...
