Time flies so fast, and more than half of the 1960s has passed by in a flash. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test
After returning to the United States from Vietnam, Alex never left the country.
Even though he had thought about traveling around the world with Brigitte, it turned out that Brigitte’s career was at its peak and he was reluctant to miss the opportunity, which affected their plan.
In the past few years, Alex has maximized his influence. Not only has he had a profound impact on entertainment, technology, economy, politics, etc., he has also interfered with the international situation in the world. two.
The impact of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States has been huge. China has a large population and a cheap labor force. Under the deliberate guidance of the country’s leaders, American investment and technology quickly entered and developed in this land.
Since it has not been affected by ten years of turmoil, China’s economic foundation at this time is pretty good. With the injection of foreign technology and capital, its development speed is no worse than that of its neighbor Japan. A large number of cheap products rushed out, quickly occupying the low-end product market, and made a huge contribution to the world economy.
As for Alex’s impact on technology, it is even more terrifying. Since Alex no longer focused on one aspect, he has invested in some science and technology that he was interested in and formed many small companies. In order to find space to accommodate these small companies, he bought a large piece of land near Seattle’s Silicon Valley and established the Ark Technology Park.
This science and technology park is somewhat similar to the incubation base of technology companies in later generations. Normally, he would not pay attention to these companies, but would only send people to supervise the use of funds and the progress of research and development. When these companies are about to achieve results, they will further invest more funds to quickly bring the company’s new products to the market.
Under his approach. Soon there were all kinds of unexpected technological products. There are some things that even Alex himself has never seen before. In fact, at first, he only provided some funds and guidance, and the rest was left to those people to develop on their own. But in the end, it can also give surprising results.
Actually this is normal. Because the development of technology is like a snowball. It rolled bigger and faster, and rolled faster and faster.
Under the guidance of Alex’s vision beyond the times, the Carpenter family’s companies have developed rapidly. The areas that have been particularly affected by this are the computer field, electronic appliances, rocket aviation, satellite technology, etc. Look at it from the perspective of future generations. The technological level of this era is almost comparable to that of the 1990s.
In particular, the Internet, which Alex is very concerned about, is developing the fastest. Like a big explosion, it suddenly appeared in front of everyone and completely changed people’s living conditions.
Because the interests involved in the Internet are too wide, and the cake in this market is getting bigger and bigger, many people are very greedy. Even the detached attitude of the masters cannot be exempted from the secular, and they are very excited when facing this situation. Even Alex, their partner, couldn’t swallow the whole cake alone.
Nowadays, the “Internet” is privately owned, unlike in later generations, which is a public resource. No one can claim sole ownership of the network. But that’s why. After a few years of development, the Internet encountered some obstacles, because no one else wanted to sit back and watch the Carpenters dominate the entire network.
So Alex simply decided to share the benefits and let other people participate in the development of the Internet. However, he insisted on leading the development direction and could not let others mess up his plan. On this point, those people are completely fine with it.
After several years of negotiations and debates, the ownership of the Internet was finally separated from the Ark Group, and a separate “Skynet Company” was formed. Among them, Ark Group invested in the current “Internet” ownership, accounting for 51% of the shares, while other family consortiums and conglomerates invested hundreds of billions of dollars in total, accounting for 49% of the shares.
This is a very big move. Although from the perspective of outsiders, the amount of hundreds of billions of dollars is very astonishing, from Alex’s perspective, he is a little reluctant to sell the shares. Because in future generations, any Internet company can have a market value of hundreds of billions. If it is really calculated that way, it will suffer a huge loss.
Fortunately, with the cooperation of everyone, the obstacles to the development of the Internet have finally been removed, and it has successfully entered the development and growth of various countries. Skynet is only responsible for providing technology and personnel support. As for funds, it is up to various countries to prepare. After all, the influence of those superiors is no joke.
According to Alex’s estimation, it will take at most five or six years for Internet technology to be fully rolled out. By then, it will at least be the same as in the late 1990s, but the Internet speed will definitely be faster, because Alex is a staunch supporter of optical fiber networks, and coaxial cables will never be used where optical fiber can be used.
In addition, the Carpenter family is also invincible in television broadcasting and film entertainment. The television station has become the leader of the three major television stations in the United States, with the largest broadcast network and the most resourceful program production team.
Among the most outstanding shows and TV series are “American Idol”, “Survivor”, “Star Trek”, “Accurate” and many more.
Various exciting variety shows, TV dramas with high ratings, and news programs with a wide audience are all born on the TV station. If it were not for the existence of the anti-monopoly law, one day the TV station might include the other two national TV stations. All annexed.
In terms of movies, DreamWorks still dominates Hollywood and has become the world’s leading and most profitable movie company. Its actors, directors, and agents are all over the world. As long as they are slightly famous filmmakers, they will try their best to squeeze into this company. Even gold plating is a good choice.
During this period, DreamWorks’ films such as “Planet of the Apes”, “Red Dawn”, “Red Alert”, “Star Wars”, “Red Dead Redemption”, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, etc. were very popular and were once popular in Hollywood. It sparked a trend of making big-budget science fiction films and even broke unwritten rules, allowing science fiction films to win many Oscars.
In addition to this, the Carpenter brother and sister duo are still at their peak, their influence in the music industry is growing day by day, and they are almost becoming a legendary group. In this music group, Alex rarely appears, but he has not announced his retirement from the music scene.
However, he would give Richard and Karen some advice and guidance from time to time, allowing them to grow rapidly and move on to their own creative paths.
At this time, Richard Carpenter was not only a popular singer, he was also a famous composer, music producer, movie star, etc. Under Alex’s guidance, he wrote many popular songs, such as “Yesterday Again”, “Top of the World”, “Please Wait, Mr. Postman”, “–” and other songs.
As for their sister, the lovely and beautiful Karen Carpenter, she grew up healthy and happy under everyone’s attention. She did not suffer from anorexia like in history. Instead, she became a little fat due to gluttony, but she was still a young and beautiful girl who was very popular among fans and movie fans.
Young Karen performed “Yesterday Again” to a very high level, much better than the historical version. When Alex saw this new version of “Yesterday Again”, he immediately felt that everything he had done since his rebirth had paid off.
In addition, Alex’s greatest influence on the world is on the other side of the earth, in the great red country of the Soviet Union! Because of his proposed “Equatorial Ring” plan and the accompanying space station design plan, this country’s aerospace experts have new visions and ideas.
In 1961, the Soviet Union suddenly announced that it would build a permanent space station in outer space. The space station is named “Mir Space Station” and will be composed of multiple parts. Initially it can only accommodate three astronauts at the same time, but the ultimate goal is to expand it to accommodate 100 astronauts living on it.
At the beginning, the Mir space station only had the core module, followed by several rocket launches, and soon the remaining parts were assembled. Until 1965, the space station had six components that were regularly in orbit, namely the core module, the Quantum 1 astrophysics module, the Quantum 2 airlock module, the Crystal experimental module, the Spectrum remote sensing module, and the Nature module. Earth observation module and so on.
The Soviets once again got ahead of the Americans. With their rising national power at the time, they accomplished things that even capitalist countries could not do. In particular, the space station concept proposed by Alex is indeed more in line with technological development, and the economic returns are also very large. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
Through experiments on the Peace Space Station, many physical technologies have been further developed, and biological research has also been greatly improved. Many high-yield seeds have been produced from space, allowing people to see huge economic benefits.
But this is not the purpose of the Soviet Union. Their purpose is to eventually conquer space and land on the moon. A spokesman for the Soviet Space Agency declared: “Before 1969, the Soviets will set foot on the moon!”
This moon landing plan is obviously aimed at NASA, because according to the American plan, the moon must be landed in 1969! At this time, the Soviet Union said that they would land on the moon before this year. This was simply a slap in the face of the United States, and it also showed very strong confidence.
The ambition of the Soviets shocked the world. They succeeded in making everyone pay attention to the moon above their heads and asked about the details of the Soviet moon landing plan. The Americans were also stunned. They strongly demanded that the government quickly formulate a moon landing plan and be sure to get to the moon before the Soviets.
