Chapter 2380: Chapter 1643: No Time for Death (Part 6)_1

The signature of the human industrial revolution is mostly breakthroughs in the field of energy and power; therefore, modern historians believe that during the third industrial revolution, the human race will inevitably possess a new source of energy that is not only cleaner but also more efficient.

Now, with the further construction of Mercury Base, countries around the world are starting to produce and extract parts and materials related to solar energy. In the age of cosmic exploration, those who are able to fly out first will get the biggest piece of the cake.

When photos of the Mercury Base were published in official media across various countries, most ordinary people were stunned. They thought these were scenes from a new Hollywood blockbuster, or the result of some desperate photographer's PhotoShop.

When the official media confirmed the authenticity of the photo, a storm of public opinion swept across the globe. An article by a French historian, which had been previously ignored, was dug up again— he was right, the third industrial revolution had begun.

The beginning of the third human industrial revolution is marked by humans successfully setting up the first solar energy collection station on Mercury, this is a widely accepted belief among mainstream historians.

The ability of humans to extract solar energy painlessly implies many things, but people still only care about two things—how hot can water get? And how far can a stone fly?

Evidence suggests that the third industrial revolution will be the most important one in human history because this time the stone flew too far, about dozens of light-years away.

Upon confirming this fact, what followed was another moment of confusion. People were not prepared to accept the fact that humans had become an interstellar civilization. The spaceships had flown too far while the thinking had not yet spread its wings.

Thus, overnight, a violent ideological revolution swept the globe. Panic faction, reflection faction, radical faction, conservative faction, praising, pessimistic, mercenary, righteous; the whole cultural circle of the human race was thrown into chaos.

It can be said that all media has turned into battlefields of public opinion. The upsurge of punk culture led the way, and the anger and panic that should have been suppressed all became violently expressed text.

Then the arena of public opinion, with its natural characteristic of sifting the sand, people started to pursue more literary and artistic, or just purely aesthetic information after getting tired of viewing pure emotional output.

With these conditions, if there was a market there would be a creation. Writers and artists started to exert their power, newspaper debates which hadn't appeared in hundreds of years resurfaced, many new commentators showed their mettle, and due to their sharp satirical text, they became the center of daily conversation.

Then, rock and roll and rap music, which always emphasized the times, made a breakthrough. A lyrical rap album titled "We Run Towards Death Inside the High Walls of the Era" was released in prison and became an instant hit. Following this, a classic rock band made a comeback, with their platinum album named "Sun" dominating the charts again.

Then there were numerous interviews in newspaper columns, endless news reports, and amidst the endless sea of viewpoints, there was only one that was generally accepted by the public, and that was—"it seems like we are truly witnessing history".

Eddie Brock entered the SHIELD Spider Corps Base, he looked around the empty base, a little bewildered, then walked towards the only figure sitting by the table.

"Gwen, what's going on? Where did everyone go?"

Gwen Spiderman kept typing without looking up and said: "Who are you looking for?"

"Peter Parker."

"You're out of luck. If it were the usual time and you yelled like that, you would have been drowned out by Peter Parker by now."

"So where have they all gone? Okay, where's our universe's Peter?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the Global Times for an argument."

"Uh… what about the Amazing Spiderman?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the New York Times for an argument."

"What about Miles?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the Daily Bugle for an argument."

"Why are they borrowing Spidermen for arguments?"

"Because everyone is arguing, and they all think they can win." Gwen Spiderman typed diligently on her dissertation. She punched the Enter key forcefully, then turned to Eddie and said: "I know you probably want a Spiderman to argue with, after all, we are known for speaking faster than thinking, and can argue for days without getting tired, and we also like to refute views that are too radical."

"But you're a bit late, there's only me left here now, and I have to rush my paper. My project proposal was sent back for revision, tonight is the deadline, and you might have to argue on your own."

"I came looking for Peter for his exclusive interview." Eddie shook his head and said: "I don't have time to join their fight, I have a documentary to film."

"I've heard, you want to make a documentary with a superhero theme." Gwen seemed interested as she typed and looked back to ask: "How much have you filmed so far? Do you have any samples?"

Speaking of this, Eddie let out a deep sigh: "I seem to have a curse, that is 'the actors I urgently need always have reasons to leave New York in the near future', all the scenes are only halfway done, I was actually hoping Spiderman would be the first theme to be completed."

As Eddie shook his head and sighed while walking out of the room, he muttered: "I need to talk to Shiller about this. I understand they are busy, but if no one cooperates with me, I won't be able to finish filming even in a decade."
