Volume 1 The Beginning of the Cataclysm Chapter 095 Forum

More than 200 years ago, the international political situation on the earth was chaotic and the ecological environment was devastated.

Perhaps it is difficult for people living in a federal system today to imagine such a bad scenario.

At that time, the concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind" began to emerge, and the whole world was still shrouded in the haze of the so-called "third world war".

In the end, however, the Great War did not happen.

Just like 350 years ago, the "Spanish flu" ended the course of World War I prematurely.

About 150 years ago, the intensifying ecological crisis also led to the emergence of a global value.

This value is the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind". It aims to address the common challenges of humanity and has gradually gained international consensus.

Between 1918 and 1919, the Spanish flu infected one-third of the world's population. The death toll is conservatively estimated at 40 million, more than in the First World War.

And 150 years ago, in the 21st century, the world was also facing changes unseen in a century.

The trend of political multipolarization, economic globalization, cultural diversification, and social informatization has been irreversible since the end of the 20 th century.

In the increasing integration of economies and cultures, the ties and interdependence between countries have gradually deepened.

And on the other side of the gloss, there is the population explosion, climate change, environmental pollution and resource shortages.

At the same time, non-traditional global security issues such as food security, disease epidemics and transnational crimes have emerged one after another, posing severe challenges to the international order and the survival of mankind.

It doesn't matter what country or region people are in, what their beliefs are, or whether they want to. In fact, at that moment, everyone was already in a community with a shared future.

What was the world like at that time?

Virulent infectious viruses with a biosecurity level of more than 4 are constantly mutating, and earthquakes, wildfires, insect plagues, and escalating regional armed conflicts have occurred in various places......

It's all crowded enough and weird enough. It looks apocalyptic, unsettling, and reminiscent of the great flood at the beginning of the genesis.

The international community needs to face these global problems together, and no country or person can be immune from them.

Because survival is the common good of mankind.

And this interest is being threatened like never before.

Eventually, under the international consensus, the global political community, the Earth Federation, came into being.

The rare peace has led to economic take-off and accelerated cultural integration. Ultimately, this led to a shift in the shape of global politics.

The establishment of the Loose Federation under the Regional High Autonomy Act eliminated the vast majority of regional armed conflicts and accelerated the process of disarmament worldwide.

When the human, financial, and material resources saved from armaments are invested in other fields, they frantically stimulate the take-off of the economy and science and technology.

Then people were surprised to find out that the steel monster of war turned out to be one of the most expensive steam locomotives.

And when the train stops, there is almost more "fuel" left than people think.

In addition to aerospace, basic physics and biological sciences, the relevant fields that will benefit also include the development and application of many practical technologies.

Scientific and technological progress feeds back to society, and then transforms into productive forces, giving birth to a series of military-to-civilian facilities.

The federal instant forum "FS Community" is a typical example of this.

At that time, the official lingua franca of the Earth Federal Government was English and Chinese, and the English logo of the old century was still used in most international practices.

The United Nations Instant Messaging Bulletin Board System is the abbreviation of the United Nations Instant Messaging Bulletin Board System.

BBS is the forum, and the translation into Chinese is "electronic bulletin board system".

Forums first appeared hundreds of years ago in the old century and were used to publish information such as stock market prices, without even basic file transfer functions. Early forums were of the same nature as bulletin boards, except that they were disseminated or received through the Internet.

But later, people can not only get all kinds of up-to-date information at any time through the BBS system, but also discuss various interesting topics with others through the BBS system, and even use the BBS system to publish postings and gather more people to participate in the discussion.

After a certain stage of development, BBS was based on the early forum system, and finally formed into the current community gathering platform - "Federal Instant Forum".

In the federal instant forum, the "FS Community" is the one that covers the widest range of users.

FS is the abbreviation of Femtosecond, also known as femtosecond, which is a unit of measurement for the length of time.

In the measurement rules expressed in Chinese, millimeters, micro, nanometers, and picopixels are separated by thousands of times of the quantitative relationship.

1 second = 1000 ms, 1 ms = 1000 microseconds, 1 microsecond = 1000 nanoseconds, 1 nanosecond = 1000 picoseconds. And so on, after the picosecond, there are femtoseconds, milliseconds, unit seconds, and so on.

The time interval represented by the smallest "misty second" is unimaginably short, only one billionth of a billionth of a second. It is a tool used in microscopic physics to time instantaneous events.

So the femtosecond, which is a quadrillion of a second. 1 femtosecond is only one part of a quadrillion of 1 second.

Even at the speed of light of 300,000 kilometers per second, in a femtosecond, it can only walk 0.3 microns, less than one hundredth of a human hair.

The founder of the "FS Community" has a mysterious identity and never shows up in front of people.

Some people speculate that the reason for his name is that he uses "femtoseconds" to symbolize the ever-changing information age.

There is also a strong belief that he is a cutting-edge physicist.

Because it has been found that in the field of pressure sensing, %FS represents the percentage of accuracy and full scale.

It is also because femtosecond has been associated with many new practical technologies in the past hundred years.

For example, a more peculiar laser discovered in the laboratory a hundred years ago, the femtosecond laser, emits a huge power in an instant that is greater than the total power generated in the world.

Media people once said that this is enough to inspire and guide the direction of new energy generation.

……

The instant messaging forum developed later, integrating the IM developer community in the early years, that is, the most popular instant messaging method on the Internet at that time - Instant Messaging.

Then it was fortunate enough to catch up with the global satellite communications network "Teledesic II." , a real information superhighway. From the perspective of computer network engineering application, BBS applies different modules to share logical components, and realizes a practical C/S architecture through programming. Using the software system architecture between the client and the server, it makes full use of the advantages of the hardware environment at both ends, and reasonably distributes tasks to two terminals, which accelerates the speed of information flow and reduces the overhead of system operation......

Slowly, the Federal Instant Forum has risen rapidly and gradually become one of the oligarchs in the international information exchange platform.
