2175, a kindergarten in Hope City on Earth.
"Now please turn to page 14 of the textbook. Today we are going to tell the story of our great leader Chairman Luo when he was a child." In the bright classroom, a female kindergarten teacher recited affectionately:
"Chairman Luo comes from a poor family and has not been afraid of hardship since he was a child. He helps clean the house every day. When his mother is cooking, he studies hard next to her.
One day, a typhoon blew outside, the windows creaked from the wind, and rainwater drifted in.
He quickly went over to close the window. After closing the window, he found a spider web outside, which was blown to pieces by the wind. A spider kept spinning its web in the strong wind, but because the wind was too strong, it was blown away every time. But after the spider ran back along the spider silk, it still worked hard to weave a web.
He looked at it and thought to himself: "Even spiders are so persistent and indomitable. How can we be inferior to a little spider?"
When Chairman Luo was a child, he was not afraid of hard work, was indomitable, and had great courage. Therefore, when he grew up, he made great contributions to mankind. "
Below, a group of toddlers are sitting in a row, with seriousness written all over their little faces.
… …
"What nonsense? This is the current textbook?"
In the holographic image in front of him, the light and shadow are distorted, and only a hazy and shining figure can be seen appearing and disappearing in the picture, and the signal seems to be disconnected at any time.
In Office No. 1, there was a middle-aged man, sweating profusely and with a wry smile on his face.
With the passing of Bi Jianping and the senior generation of senior officials, Luo Yuan also completely retired behind the scenes, and the political cycle gradually returned to normal. This is now the fifth generation leader.
However, he, who was always known for his majesty and toughness, was now trembling with fear.
"This... this is the heartfelt love that all human beings have for you. It is the evaluation of you by history. After all, without you and without the current human beings, your contribution can never be erased."
"These are meaningless to me!" The light and shadow seemed to shake their heads: "Forget it, I won't affect the governance anymore, just let it take its course."
As soon as he finished speaking, the holographic image closed instantly. The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away his sweat. His surname was Luo and his first name was Shengwei. Speaking of which, this was his grandfather. This prominent family background gave him a huge influence. political capital and unparalleled influence.
But he only saw this grandfather in the virtual world when he was a child. After his grandmother passed away, he never saw him in person again.
Now all that was left in his mind was majesty.
Every time he faced this existence, he felt a lot of pressure. Not everyone could withstand the pressure of a suspected god. Even through the holographic image, the terrible feeling of depression almost made his heart stop. He has such a big heart that he may not even be able to stand still.
After a long time, he finally recovered and continued to process the documents.
The current situation of human beings is not good, and the cloud of war hangs over the entire solar system. Although negotiations and exchanges with the Bayan civilization have been ongoing, in fact, the temptations of both parties have not stopped. In the past twenty years, humans and the Bayan civilization have sent hundreds of reconnaissance spacecrafts to each other to collect intelligence on each other's civilizations.
The arms race between the two sides has intensified now, and military strength has doubled every few years. Once humans show fatigue or weakness, war will be inevitable.
Humanity's mining stars have grown from two to fifteen.
Bo Xing's semi-finished Dyson sphere was also reused after simple modifications.
At the same time, there are three more Dyson spheres, which are under intense construction in nearby star systems.
In fact, the geographical location of the solar system is not good. The nearby star systems are either double galaxies or triple galaxies, and the internal gravity is chaotic. This not only requires extremely high materials for the Dyson sphere, but its construction is hundreds of times more difficult than that of the sun, making the project difficult. Progress is quite slow.
It will probably take another 20 to 30 years until it is fully built.
But what mankind lacks is precisely time. Up to now, the energy produced by mankind every year is gradually insufficient for use. Naturally, it is still abundant during peacetime. Once it enters a full-scale war, it will not take a year or two to use up all the accumulated antimatter. , this is just a passive defensive battle, not an expedition traveling thousands of light years.
In order to increase antimatter reserves, even the nuclear fusion power furnaces that humans have gradually phased out have begun to be built on a large scale, using helium and hydrogen gas collected from Jupiter to produce antimatter through fusion energy, but this is only a drop in the bucket, better than nothing.
There are 300,000 warp warships, five planetary fortresses, and six semi-powered intelligent space defense systems that surround the solar system like asteroid belts. The outermost defense diameter even reaches fifty light days.
Especially the latter, whose total mass is equivalent to the defense system of three Barnard IV planets, is a complete energy-devouring behemoth.
Humanity is now like a hedgehog that shows its teeth and claws but is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Once a war breaks out, it will only have the power of three axes.
At this time, his personal smart terminal suddenly sent a call request. He took a look and saw that the call was from the Supreme Scientific Council. He put down the file and immediately chose to connect.
Regarding personal intelligent terminals, humans have now developed for more than ten generations, from the initial eye chip to the polymer nanometer quantum computer that has been integrated throughout the body and synchronously linked to all nerve signals and even memories.
At adulthood, every human being will have hundreds of millions of polymer nano-quantum computers in the form of micro-robots injected into their bodies.
It is not only the entrance to communication and virtual world, but also the terminal of personal medical treatment. Even injuries that are fatal to pre-apocalyptic humans, such as a broken heart, can be quickly repaired by nanoscale microrobots.
So much so that ordinary medical services have long been eliminated in human society.
…
"What, the white dwarf material has been synthesized under normal conditions!" Luo Shengwei said in surprise after listening for a while.
You can't blame him for being surprised. Although he is in politics, sitting in this position, it is impossible not to have a basic understanding of science. White dwarf matter seems to be just a further development of critical matter, but in fact it is two completely different concepts.
If the critical material only regulates the electromagnetic force inside and outside the atom, then the white dwarf star material already involves the two short-range forces of the strong interaction force and the weak interaction force of the atomic nucleus.
In fact, with the technological strength of mankind, it is not difficult to create white dwarf star material. As long as it is given super high pressure, it can finally be formed. As early as a hundred years ago, the human atomic physics laboratory successfully compressed ten gold atoms. The material state of a white dwarf star.
The difficulty is just to exist under normal conditions, because white dwarfs cannot exist in normal environments like critical materials. Once the high pressure disappears, the entire white dwarf material will expand tens of millions of times like a nuclear bomb.
"Unless—humans can already regulate short-range forces."
Thinking of this possibility, he immediately asked, and finally got confirmation.
He hung up the phone, feeling faintly excited. After thinking for a while, he quickly connected to the academic database and soon found the sensational physics paper from more than ten years ago: "Unified Field Theory!"
