Chapter 2876

Exploring the universe is of great significance to the development of mankind and the continuation of civilization.

Many people think that exploring the universe...is it really valuable to explore an infinite environment in a limited lifespan at a speed that is slower than a snail for the universe?

In fact, there is, and it is of great significance.

The planet beneath our feet is rich in minerals, or so it seems.

But in fact, there are many resources that the planet itself does not have, but they are here.

This is because when it was formed, many asteroid impacts not only laid a solid foundation, but also left resources from all over the universe here.

If we could capture some materials and resources in the universe that are not found on this planet, it would be possible to set off a wave of human technological civilization!

This is not a joke.

With just a little bit of special materials, technology can go all the way.

Today's wealth is equivalent to a worthless number for Lynch, so he is not stingy at all in investing in technology.

After all, even if he invested one billion credits alone, it would only be equivalent to one billion people each investing a little.

This is the benefit of monopoly in the banking industry. Everyone's wealth is the bank's asset, and as the bank's top decision-maker, Lynch controls 80% of the world's wealth!

The deputy director seemed very excited. The continuous discoveries in astronomy have made him a very well-known figure in the astronomy industry. This is something he has never enjoyed before.

If people cannot find a good position in the early days of civilization and barbaric development, then it is unlikely that they will have a place in the future, including their families and descendants.

For current astronomy, it has entered a new cycle. The deputy director of the world's only space telescope is obviously a giant in this field.

"Mr. Lynch, I guarantee that every penny you invest will be worth it!"

Lynch patted his arm and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

There are only a few days until the new year, and Lynch is considering whether to celebrate the new year here.

At this time, the Federation was also in the midst of a cold winter, but people's emotions were like dry firewood soaked in kerosene and ignited——

Burning, hard to extinguish!

The Conservative candidate admitted in court in front of everyone, the judge, the observers, the media, and in front of the camera, that he hired a hitman to try to kill Catherine.

His defense lawyers expressed helplessness that he directly admitted the incident, and also pleaded with the court for a temporary adjournment so that they could test the Conservative candidate's mental and physical state.

The defense lawyer believed that the Conservative candidate may have been subjected to horrific torture to extract a confession, but nothing unusual was found when his mental and physical state was tested in the lounge.

Several of the best psychologists and psychiatrists in the federation made a judgment on the spot that the Conservative candidate was mentally sane and an adult with the capacity to act responsibly.

At the same time, when his body was examined, no obvious external trauma was found on his body. No one had tortured him. He was normal.

The trial resumed forty minutes later. The defense lawyer had given up his defense strategy and now only wanted to reduce his sentence.

As the conservative candidate confessed more participants and accomplices in court, the entire public opinion exploded in an instant!

The judge looked at him from the high court seat and asked, "What prompted you to hire a killer to try to kill Ms. Catherine?"

The conservative candidate thought about it for a long time and gave an answer that would not surprise anyone, but felt a bit straightforward -

"envy"

"I'm jealous of her, your honor."

"I tried my best during the general election, but I was never her opponent."

"I have a prettier resume than hers. I have held almost every position from city councilman to senator in Congress, and I have done pretty well."

"After entering Congress, I promoted the legislation and passage of more than twenty bills, including...,...and some well-known bills, which provided strong protection for vulnerable groups in society."

“I participated in the drafting of amendments to many bills, reviving some bills that had fallen behind and were clearly out of step with the times, so that they could continue on the road.”

"I have done a lot of practical and concrete work, including...,...and...such work that is close to social welfare activities."

"I have gone deep into the front line and discussed with factory workers how work should be carried out better, how to reduce conflicts between labor and management, and how to make work smoother."

"I also went to the front lines of the war to offer condolences. Bullets flew right over my head, and I could even hear its whistle."

"I have done many things for the Federation and for the people living in the Federation."

"My father, my uncle, my grandfather... they all did a lot of meaningful things for the Federation and promoted the development and leap of the Federation."

"but……"

"I lost."

The conservative candidate calmly turned his head and looked at the spectators and the cameras. His eyes were calm and indifferent, and there was something incomprehensible but heavy that could be felt.

"I didn't lose to myself, I lost to Catherine, the Global Communications Group behind her, Wealth Bank, and...Mr. Lynch."

"I lost. I lost here. I'm not convinced and I'm jealous."

"Jealousy made me lose my mind, and it also cost me my best friend... Sir (committee chairman), by the time everything happened, it was already too late, and I hated my fall."

"I have hurt many people and killed some people, all because of jealousy. It is like the most terrible curse, making me fall into the whirlpool of dementia."

"I admitted the crime I committed because I couldn't afford to make any more mistakes."

"I plead guilty, but that doesn't mean I admit that she is necessarily better than me."

"She just had a very solid and strong person supporting her to get to that position, and I, didn't."

"This is the key to victory or defeat. I didn't lose to Catherine, I lost to Lynch. I am willing to atone for the stupid things I did."

After a heartfelt analysis, everyone fell silent, including the justice.

As the Conservative candidate said, he did do a lot of meaningful things for this country, but just because Lynch did not support him, he lost the election.

This has made those who still have some longing and longing for this country and its political system become a lot calmer.

In fact, it was finished long ago when capital began to expand uncontrollably.

When the poor father pulled the trigger on Mr. Trueman.

It has lost the last trace of possibility. Capital has eroded politics too quickly and too deeply!

Even if most people knew that the Conservative candidate said something profound, they would not admit it or discuss it.

The justice took off his glasses, wiped them with a deerskin, and put them back on, "Whatever Lynch did, it was allowed within the rules."

"But you did something that the rules didn't allow you to do. No matter what your reasons are, it doesn't change the fact that you violated the law."

"Based on the fact that you admitted your fault and...", the judge looked at the materials sent by the defense lawyer, "...and are willing to actively compensate. At the same time, you are still a little resentful. We need to discuss it before we can sentence you. We will temporarily adjourn for ten minutes. minute."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the justice took more than ten phone calls during these ten minutes. His expression was serious, but there was a strange look in his eyes.

"After our discussion, we believe that your behavior has caused terrible consequences and had a very bad impact on society. However, in view of your honesty, we have decided to sentence you to eighty years in prison without the possibility of parole..."

The Conservative candidate is already quite old, let alone eighty years. If he is not allowed to undergo life-saving surgery, he may not be able to survive twenty years.

But he accepted the result, and it was not enough to be electrocuted or hanged immediately.

During a recess, the judge met alone with the Conservative candidate.

"When the court was adjourned just now, several phones in the lounge kept ringing."

"You said so many high-sounding words in court that I thought these people were calling to plead for you."

He couldn't help but reveal some weird smiles as he said, "But almost every phone call hopes that I can give you a harsher sentence, preferably the death penalty."

"These are big people with deep backgrounds. It seems you made a very special choice."

The conservative candidate smiled nonchalantly and said, "Among many bad choices, I chose the one that is most beneficial to me."

"Who the hell knows whether the world will go on a new course or end in destruction. I don't care what will happen to those people in the future, I only care about the present."

"Thank you for giving me a lenient sentence. I almost thought I was going to die!"

He laughed out loud, not at all pessimistic about being imprisoned until death.

The justice kept his weird smile and said, "Although many people call me and hope that I will give you the death penalty, there are also people who hope that you will be locked up."

The Conservative candidate was stunned for a moment. “May I know his name?”

The justice shook his head, "I have crossed the line by saying so much. If they want to see you, you will have a chance to meet after all."

As he said this, he motioned to the bailiff to take the person away.

Then he returned to the office and dialed a phone he was very familiar with. A young voice came from the other side, "Thank you, I owe you a favor..."
