With the joint efforts of Tang Xiaosheng, Wei Xiaobao, and Ouyang Ke, the world has successfully reached 2068 in a relatively peaceful way. They very much wanted this to continue, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

In March 2068, Wei Xiaobao received an astonishing secret information from the State Security Service that 17 European and American countries, including the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, were already conducting secret talks and preparing to unite to carry out a military attack on China.

Their justification for the war is simple: China's rise is so alarming that it poses a serious threat to global security.

In the past 30 years, the entire world has actually revolved around China. Because China's Super Time Science and Technology City has the world's top and most powerful scientific research capabilities, 80% of the world's new technologies are born from the Super Time Science and Technology City, which makes China's scientific and technological level ahead of all countries in the world, and this leading advantage has been maintained for 30 years and has never been surpassed.

The main reason for this is that China has a legendary scientist - Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng).

In the past 30 years, Tang Xiaosheng has spent most of his time researching the Moonlight Treasure Box, and after researching, he will write all the scientific research results into the "Yin's Multiverse Theory" every year, and then publish them to the world and share them with all scientists in the world.

Since "Yin's Multiverse Theory" is currently the most advanced cosmological theory of mankind, it has become a compulsory course for all scientists around the world.

Unfortunately, Tang Xiaosheng will refine "Yin's Multiverse Theory" every year. Update a lot of new knowledge. And Tang Xiaosheng's speed of updating "Yin's Multiverse Theory" far exceeds the speed of other scientists around the world to learn "Yin's Multiverse Theory".

So far, the amount of knowledge in Yin's Multiverse Theory has been equivalent to the total knowledge of 1.2 million ordinary books. Although "Yin's Multiverse Theory" has been published for more than 30 years, there are only about 100 scientists in the world who can complete one-half of "Yin's Multiverse Theory".

Of these 100, at least eighty percent are in the Moonlight Research Group in the Chrono Science Park, and only 20 are in other countries.

It is precisely because of the huge disparity in the level of knowledge that in the past 30 years, scientists in many countries have become students instead of doing scientific research. Everyone is studying "Yin's Multiverse Theory" every day. And after thirty years of studying. Scientists from all over the world found that they still hadn't caught up with Yin Weijian, because when they took a step forward, Yin Weijian had already taken another ten steps forward.

As a result, scientists in other countries are undoubtedly in a passive position. They are equivalent to being led by Yin Weijian.

Precisely because of this. In fact, the scientific and technological level of other countries in the world is also led by China. Most of the new techniques. The new theories were all born in China's Chrono Science and Technology City, and then spread throughout the world by China.

And this has been going on for thirty years. This has been the case from 2038 to 2068.

It was not until February 2068 that 17 countries in Europe and the United States finally had enough of it and decided to take some extraordinary measures in the hope of changing this passive unfavorable situation. Because they find that the gap between them and China is widening little by little, and more and more excellent talent resources are being transferred to China.

According to the statistics of the U.S. Department of Education, in the past five years, nearly one-third of doctoral students in the top 10 universities in the United States have chosen to work in China after graduation, and 80% of them have entered the Chrono Science and Technology City to become scientific researchers.

Among them, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, and Stanford University are the most serious, with 44% of doctoral graduates from the three universities leaving the United States last year and heading straight for China's Chrono Science and Technology City.

There are many reasons why the city has such a great charm, and one of the main reasons is that the development level of the city is at least 30 years ahead of other cities in the world.

Being able to work and live in the Chrono Science and Technology City is equivalent to having a life that would have been possible for at least another 30 years, which is undoubtedly very tempting.

At the same time, the city has the world's most complete and advanced scientific research environment, bringing together nearly half of the world's scientific research elites, for a person who loves science or high-tech, it is undoubtedly a perfect holy place for scientific research and exploration of the truth of the universe.

It is precisely because of this that scientists or elites from many countries come to the city in the hope of getting a position in the city.

As of January 2068, there are about 900,000 foreign researchers in the city, accounting for about 28% of the total number of researchers. It can be said that the contribution of foreign researchers to the entire Chrono Science and Technology City should not be underestimated.

For these foreign talents who come from afar, Chaokong Science and Technology City is naturally welcome.

However, seeing the loss of a large number of outstanding talents, the United States and other European and American countries began to be a little overwhelmed. For a country, talent is blood, and the continuous loss of blood is a sign of the country's weakness.

Especially in the past decade, as the Chrono Science and Technology City has become the world's first highly intelligent city, more and more elites from European and American countries have begun to flock to China, which has led to China's scientific research strength rising year by year, and the gap with European and American countries is widening little by little.

If this development continues, in 20 or 30 years, China will become a superpower, and at that time, European and American countries will probably not have the strength to compete with China. As a result, some countries feel that it is time to take some action to counter and contain China's rapid development.

In fact, in the past 30 years, many countries in Europe and the United States have never given up on preventing China's development, and have also taken some extraordinary measures. For example, the European Union has imposed economic sanctions on China and stopped trade relations with China.

Unfortunately, these economic sanctions have all failed in the end, and the most fundamental reason for this is that. It is precisely because China has the colossal monster of the Chrono Science and Technology City.

The city is not only a driver of China's economy, but also a driver of the global economy. Most of the new techniques and new products in the world were born from here. The changes in the past 30 years in the Chrono Science and Technology City are almost the history of the development of the entire earth civilization in the last 30 years.

Therefore, to sever relations with China is tantamount to rejecting the newest civilization of the planet.

In 2047, the EU will stop trading with China. As a result, in that year, Tang Xiaosheng invented the "Yin language". A new language that can greatly improve the human description of complex scientific theories. When the language software of "Yin Yu" was launched. It has attracted a frenzy of buying from all over the world, but the people of the European Union cannot buy this kind of language software.

Seeing that other countries are learning the "Yin language", the people of the EU can only stare dryly, this embarrassing situation has aroused strong protests from the people of the European Union. Ultimately. The EU government was forced to do so. It had no choice but to restore economic and trade relations with China. People in Europe and the United States are finally able to buy the language software "Yin language".

Something like this has happened over the past three decades. The Chrono Science and Technology City has become the vane of the entire earth civilization, and its development represents the future direction of human civilization.

And for this result. It's not accidental.

More than 30 years ago, Yin Weijian was already praised by the international media as a "mentor to all mankind", believing that his advanced scientific theories would lead mankind to an extraordinary situation.

Today, 30 years later, China with Yin Weijian has become a "global leader", leading other countries around the world to move forward towards a new field of civilization.

It is precisely because other countries are very dependent on China that all attempts to contain China in the economic, scientific, technological, and cultural fields are ultimately ineffective and end in failure.

However, Europe and the United States have not compromised, and the rapid pace of China's development is increasingly unsettling them.

After thirty years of patience, this unease has now reached its peak. So, in February 2068, 17 countries in Europe and the United States formed an alliance and finally decided to take action, preparing to take military strikes against China, using force to contain China's development, hoping to change the pattern of the world through a war.

From February 2068 to March 2068, 17 countries in Europe and the United States will begin to secretly prepare for this war, and finalize a military strike against China by early April this year at the latest.

The reason why they are in such a hurry is because this may be their last chance. At China's current pace of development, no country will be able to threaten it in a few years.

The military operation of 17 countries in Europe and the United States is a top secret of the state, and all the operations are carried out in a highly covert manner.

However, on March 2, 2068, Wei Xiaobao learned the news from China's State Security Agency, knowing that 17 countries in Europe and the United States would carry out devastating military strikes against China within a month.

After getting this news, Wei Xiaobao could no longer be calm. Because he knew that once this war broke out, it would be the largest and most powerful war in the history of human beings on earth, and it would probably become the most tragic, heaviest, and most devastating war in the history of human warfare, with unimaginable consequences.

There is no doubt that as long as this war breaks out, no matter what the outcome is, the "Chrono Science and Technology City" will be destroyed in one fell swoop, because the Chrono Science and Technology City is the fundamental reason for China's strength, and it has become a key area for the 17 countries of Europe and the United States to attack.

According to the intelligence of the National Security Service, the seventeen countries of Europe and the United States will destroy the Chrono Science and Technology City at all costs. And here "at any cost", apparently, includes nuclear - weapons.

It is precisely because of the seriousness of the problem that Wei Xiaobao made emergency deployments, activated the emergency plan of the highest level of national-war-military operations, and the whole country entered a state of first-level security, and the troops secretly stationed around the Chrono Science and Technology City were ready to deal with the outbreak of war at any time.

In addition, Wei Xiaobao also held an emergency meeting at the central government to discuss a plan to stop the war. Although Wei Xiaobao is ready for war, he will definitely not use force unless he has to. Because no matter whether China wins or loses this war, Wei Xiaobao is the loser, and he doesn't want to bury his "chronometer plan" like this.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Now China and Europe and the United States are the two tigers on the earth, and the conflict between them is obvious. It's also unavoidable.

At the emergency meeting between the central and high-level authorities, everyone expressed their opinions and discussed for most of the day, but still could not find any effective way to prevent the outbreak of this war.

After the meeting, Wei Xiaobao contacted his old friends Yin Weijian and Ouyang Ke to discuss how they could deal with this major crisis. In the current situation, only Ouyang Ke and Yin Weijian can best understand Wei Xiaobao's anxious mood, because they are all traversers.

After receiving the information of Wei Xiaobao's interview, on the evening of March 2, 2068, Tang Xiaosheng took a fully intelligent private aircraft "Blue Bird 1". Fly from the East City of the Chrono Science and Technology City to the Central City. and enter the Chrono Building.

The Chrono Building, located in the center of the Chrono Science and Technology City, is the landmark building of the Chrono Science and Technology City and the headquarters of the Chrono Science and Technology City. Ouyang Ke, Yin Weijian, Academician Huo Xing and other high-level leaders of the "Chronometer and Planning" gathered here.

The Chrono Mansion is in a bizarre spiral shape. The entire building has a total of 2,000 floors. The total height is 8,888 meters, which is 40 meters higher than Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. From a distance, the Chrono Tower resembles a towering Optimus Prime embroidered with spiral ripples. Standing between heaven and earth, it is breathtaking.

The Chrono Tower is not only the tallest building on Earth, but also the first fully intelligent building on Earth, and at the same time, it is also the most expensive building ever built on Earth, with a total cost of more than $800 billion.

Since the higher the floor height, the thinner the air and the lower the temperature, the floors above the 1500th floor of the Chrono Building are already in an extreme environment, so they are basically uninhabited and are only used for some special scientific experiments.

As for Ouyang Ke, his office is on the 888th floor of the Chrono Building.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng) took his private small plane "Blue Bird No. 1" to the Chrono Building, ready to meet Ouyang Ke.

The Bluebird 1 is a fully intelligent aircraft, which is completely controlled by an intelligent system and does not require a flight personnel to fly it. As long as Tang Xiaosheng said the target location he wanted to go to, the "Blue Bird No. 1" would be able to deliver him to his destination accurately.

The Blue Bird 1 was not very fast, traveling at only about 650 kilometers per hour. However, it was already able to send Tang Xiaosheng to any location in the entire Chrono Science and Technology City within two minutes.

In fact, public transportation is advocated in the city, and the whole city has established a huge fully intelligent transportation network, and most people do not have private transportation, and usually travel by public transportation.

There are more than 3 million scientific researchers in the entire Chrono Science and Technology City, and less than 10 people have private transportation, and Tang Xiaosheng is one of them, because he is the inventor of the "Blue Bird 1" aircraft.

In less than a minute, "Blue Bird No. 1" arrived at the Chrono Building, passed the inspection of the entrance of the building, successfully entered the 888th floor of the building, and flew directly to Ouyang Ke's office.

After arriving, the intelligent teleportation system of "Blue Bird No. 1" automatically sent Tang Xiaosheng off the plane, and as soon as he got off the plane, Tang Xiaosheng saw a person sitting on an invisible office chair, this person was Ouyang Ke, the mayor of the Chrono Science and Technology City. Since the office chair is invisible, Ouyang Ke looks as if he is suspended in mid-air out of thin air, which is very magical.

Of course, invisible office equipment will be developed in 2052 and has been around for more than ten years, and Tang Xiaosheng is no stranger now.

And beside Ouyang Ke, there was another person, Wei Xiaobao.

"Lao Yin, you're here." After seeing Yin Weijian coming down from Blue Bird No. 1, Ouyang Ke turned his head and said.

At this time, Ouyang Ke is no longer the personable, handsome and dashing rich boy of the year, but an old man over sixty years old.

Ouyang Ke was born in 2004 and is a standard "post-00", but now it is 2068, and Ouyang Ke is no longer young, he is 64 years old this year.

Therefore, when Tang Xiaosheng calls Ouyang Ke now, he does not call him "Xiao Ke" before, but becomes "Lao Ke".

In the same situation, Ouyang Ke no longer called Yin Weijian "Xiao Yin", but changed it to "Lao Yin". Because Yin Weijian was born in 2006, he is 62 years old this year.

However, because Tang Xiaosheng had practiced immortal arts, his body had not changed much in the past thirty years, but when he changed into Yin Weijian, he wore an aging version of Yin Weijian's human skin mask.

In fact, Yin Weijian and Ouyang Ke are in good condition, and the worst person is Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao was born in 1994 and is a standard "post-90s", but he is now 74 years old.

Although with the continuous improvement of human medicine, the average life expectancy of human beings will exceed 100 years in 2068, as the saying goes, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have storms and clouds.

Wei Xiaobao, who is 74 years old, is actually very worried in his heart, I don't know how long he can live, maybe one day he suddenly feels unwell and dies, and Ouyang Ke's condition will not be good for long.

Both of them knew that they had little time left, and in order to explore the traversal technique before death came, they seized every minute and every second, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Now, thirty years later, they have achieved extraordinary things that no one has achieved before, but unfortunately, there seems to be an endless way to go before the birth of the development of the traversal technique.

What's worse is that now the 17 countries of Europe and the United States are preparing to take military strikes against them, which is undoubtedly worse for Ouyang Ke and Wei Xiaobao.

But no matter what, these things always have to be faced.

After Tang Xiaosheng arrived at the Chrono Building, he, Wei Xiaobao, and Ouyang Ke sat around the office and secretly discussed countermeasures together.

In fact, there are only two people in the office of the Chrono Building, Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke, and Wei Xiaobao is not in the office, but in Beijing. The Wei Xiaobao I saw in the office was actually a three-dimensional image that was virtualized using the latest 3D imaging technology.

Although Wei Xiaobao is just a virtual stereoscopic image, on the surface, it can almost be fake, making people feel that Wei Xiaobao is really sitting in the office.

"Judging from the current situation, the alliance composed of 17 countries in Europe and the United States is determined to fight a big war with China in order to change the current pattern of the world." Wei Xiaobao sank, frowned, and said worriedly, "Now the war is on the verge of breaking out, it is precarious, and the situation is extremely urgent. ”

Ouyang Ke's expression was solemn, his face was solemn, it took him nearly 40 years to establish the Chrono Science and Technology City, he didn't want the 40 years of hard work to be ruined, because the Chrono Science and Technology City was all his hopes, he sank, and said helplessly: "Why have we made so many efforts, but we still can't avoid war?" ”

Wei Xiaobao sighed: "The impact of the Crossing Technique on human beings is too great, and other countries have always been a little curious and afraid of China's 'Chronometer Planning'. Because no one knows what the consequences of the Dao Crossing Technique will be after it is developed. ”

Having said that, Ouyang Ke still said very unwillingly: "Could it be that we have watched these decades of hard work lose in this war?" ”

Of course, Wei Xiaobao understood what Ouyang Ke meant, as long as this war broke out, both he and Ouyang Ke would lose. Even if China wins the war, they will not have time to start all over again and rebuild the "Chrono Science and Technology City".

Unlike Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang, Tang Xiaosheng's lifespan was five or six hundred years due to his cultivation of immortal arts, and this war did not have much impact on him, and he was not in a hurry to explore the Crossing Technique.

However, he has been with Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke for nearly forty years, and he still has some feelings, and he doesn't want to see them too desperate, so he slowed down, so he said: "Actually, it is not impossible to stop this war. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke's faces changed greatly, and they looked at Tang Xiaosheng together, Wei Xiaobao asked urgently: "Lao Yin, do you have a way?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "There is a way, but my method is a bit despicable." ”

"Despicable?" Wei Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it, and immediately said, "It's okay to be despicable, as long as you can stop this war, as long as you can maintain the peace of the world, no matter how despicable things are, you have to do even the most despicable things." ”

"That's right, for the sake of peace in the world, even if it's a despicable way, we have to give it a try." Ouyang Ke agreed. Since the crossing, he has actually been trying to become a righteous gentleman, but when things came to this point, he couldn't care too much about it, and asked with concern, "Lao Yin, what is the solution?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng sank and said, "My method is like this......" (to be continued......
