Premise 1: A brief history of the RX era in Steel Earth
"The sands of time fall slowly, and once they come to an end, God will send angels to turn the hourglass of time upside down, and human society will start all over again."
—RX 1954, Roots. Alex "Our Legends"
"We used to think that time was linear, but now that archaeological excavations have proved that we may be wrong, I am afraid that time has an end."
—RX 2022, Wang Boxue, "Legend" Archaeology
We always see science fiction works of one kind or another, and we are used to human beings leaving the earth and entering the universe to develop their own culture in the galaxy and even the whole universe.
People on Earth on another plane do not think so, and their history will always be "ended" by a mysterious force. No matter how advanced technology is, once the "end" begins, human beings have to go back to primitive society.
No one remembers what happened, but the memories of a previous era are still shown to those who come after them through legends and underground relics.
It is known that in the future there will be an era in which humans will drive robots to fight in the universe, but what happened after that, no one knows.
After such "reincarnation" many times, the human beings living in the RX era have finally entered this era.

A Brief History of the RX Era
In the 1980s of the RX era, the earth was devastated by human development. To this end, some have proposed to unite nations and establish colonies in the universe in order to alleviate the environmental and demographic problems of the planet.
Worse still, we should recreate a "planet".
The idea of the former was supported by the majority of countries, but because of geographical and other issues, the countries of the world were not unified as a whole, but formed six different powers, which either competed or cooperated with each other.
The plan to build a "new earth" has not been abandoned, and the Moore Chamber of Commerce, a large consortium, has turned the "new earth" from an imaginary reality into a reality after hundreds of years of hard work. RX In 2050, the construction of the "New Earth" began, and 150 years later, the "New Earth" is 70% complete, and more and more people are beginning to support this plan.
Putting aside the "New Earth", let's go back to the cosmic colonization plan. RX In 2020, the first colonial satellite "Eden" was completed, and then various colonial satellites sprung up in the earth's circle. There are about 200 colonies in operation now, less than 30% of which are in the hands of the six major powers on the planet, and the rest have become independent "city-states".
Tens of billions of people have left the Earth to build their new homes in the universe. However, after these people have made the universe their home, they found that the forces that sent them away from the earth collected more taxes on the inhabitants of the universe in order to save the economic problems caused by the colonization plan, and the inhabitants of the universe spent more money to buy the products of the earth, but the goods they worked hard to make were imported into the earth cheaply, and later the forces even deprived the citizens of the universe of some of their rights.
As a result, the independence movement of the inhabitants of the universe broke out in RX 2099, and various colonial satellites demanded independence. After decades of struggle, most of the colonial satellites broke away from the control of the overlords and became independent city-states.
But among these independent colonial satellites, the colonial satellite "Rome" set off a war that swept the entire earth circle in the year 2199 of the RX era...
