Anno 7892......

In the blink of an eye, it has been a hundred years since humans arrived in this star field!

In the past 100 years, many things, big and small, have happened. The first major event is that there is a branch of humanity that has become a civilization of the sunken, and this fact will be forever etched in history and will not be forgotten by mankind.

The second thing is the internal affairs of the new human civilization itself: the policy of population expansion, the policy of education, and the policy of integration of the transcendent with the common people.

Now that so many things have happened in the entire civilization, the elites have reached a certain degree of consensus: the longevity plan of mankind must be continued, even if the current ideology and social form are difficult to adapt to the ultra-high life expectancy.

Therefore, life extension technology has been vigorously researching and developing, especially after exchanging benefits with the Toth civilization, the life extension technology obtained is quite good, and the average life expectancy can theoretically be increased by about 100-200 years again.

Life span determines the strategic vision of a species, and the transcendent is equivalent to the elite after passing the "college entrance examination", and the status of transcendence is actually nothing, which has formed a social consensus. The establishment of the General Staff of the Council of Sciences divided the powers of a series of official positions, such as captains.

Anyway, in the future, everyone will have to complete the "college entrance examination" in this area, and those who have the ability will naturally be able to obtain a higher status as long as they pass the exam.

Of course, the majority of the population of the whole society is still ordinary people, so the transcendent does not control all the high-level positions, at most only occupies about 8-10% of the social resources.

Ordinary people can still get a lot of good jobs, especially innovative breakthroughs at the level of science and technology, and they still need real young people, young people in the psychological sense.

On the other hand, after the reform of the power organs, the captain is now mainly responsible for the management of internal affairs, including the control of military power, the issuance of mobilization orders, and the announcement of the state of the economy, while most of the positions in the staff are held by extraordinary people, mainly responsible for foreign affairs, the control of civilization and ideology, and the handling of high-risk technology.

In the past 100 years, Zhang Yuan has naturally become an important member of the General Staff.

With this extra job, he's actually very busy, taking control of Unreal Lab on the one hand, and taking on new jobs on the other. Fortunately, the talent in the Unreal Lab is gradually growing, and he doesn't need to complete all the work, and he can share some of the pressure to go out.

The third thing is that two neutron stars successfully collided 70 years ago!

This neutron star collision generated a huge amount of observational data, and eventually formed a miniature black hole. This is the result of such close observations of the fragmentation of neutron stars and the formation of miniature black holes...... And the progress in curvature is also in full swing.

Sixty-four years ago, the first curvature experiment was successful, and a soybean-sized "curvature bubble" was successfully created. Although this curvature bubble only exists for 1.1 seconds, it is still a big step forward in history.

52 years ago, the first curvature bubble capable of "moving", the experiment was successful!

Next, the experiment progressed faster and faster, faster and faster, and soon from the experimental level to the industrial level.

Thirty-three years ago, a curvature spacecraft with a speed of up to 0.1 times the speed of light was successfully developed!

Twenty years ago, the speed was 0.3 times the speed of light!

Immediately afterwards, mankind received the electromagnetic waves of the Toth civilization, and the Tothians also completed the development of curvature technology.

People don't want to lag behind their old friend Thoth civilization, whoever first developed a curvature spaceship that exceeds the speed of light has a crushing advantage in military and technological aspects.

Even if the current willingness of the two sides to cooperate is far stronger than the willingness to compete, this aspect still has to be guarded against, but the two sides have a tacit understanding and do not say it directly.

Of course, the two sides have a certain degree of scientific and technological competition, which does not mean that there will really be a fight, this is a healthy competition, because the distance between the two sides is not far away, only 0.5 light years, so they often send communications to each other, exchange some collected data, or scientific papers, this cooperation is bound to be a good thing.

"Everyone! I've just heard from there, and the Tothians are a little impatient when they hear that we've broken through the extra color experiment, haha! ”

"This should be one of the most important cooperation projects between our two sides in the future."

"They're going to fly over in a curvature spaceship...... Hehe, it seems that their curvature technology is also very mature. ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the door, he solemnly announced this big plan worth as much as "6,000 amoeba points".

"Really? They're coming! ”

"Lao Zhang, how fast can they reach now? It can't be taller than us, right? An older colleague suddenly asked.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "Slow, it's only 0.3 times the speed of light, and it will take two months to arrive." ”

"We're ahead of the curve! It is said that the fastest experimental spacecraft has reached 0.6 times the speed of light! ”

As soon as I heard that humans were slightly more powerful than each other, everyone below couldn't help but be happy.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Don't be too happy, we can't rule out that the other party deliberately concealed his level." Didn't we also deliberately hide some levels? ”

The distance between the two sides is 0.5 light years, and it takes 1 year to transmit information back and forth.

Don't look at the time of a year may seem short, but in this era of rapid technological change, 1 year is enough to do a lot.

Technology is exploding, and everyone is genuinely enjoying the ever-changing feeling. Being able to truly obtain curvature technology, all the previous pains seem to be not worth mentioning.

"So what should we do with that big project to let the Tothians experience the virtual world technology? Or help them experience the newly developed Brain in a Vat feedback system? ”

"It's hard to say for the time being...... The brains in the jar are enough to coax them, and they still need to be developed. ”

"However, the brain in the vat can't distinguish between the virtual and the real. Even though we jumped on technology, we still have to study these things...... These are the basics! Anyway, this exchange and cooperation, on the one hand, is warp speed, and on the other hand, it is on our side. We're the main play. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at these excited and crazy people, as soon as he heard that he was going to contact the Toth people, it was as if a heart had floated to the sky, and he had no other thoughts except for wanting to Kan Dashan.

After seeing that the time was not early, he simply announced that he would leave work early.

"It's time to get off work! That's it for today! ”

However, everyone still sat in the laboratory and talked about it, Zhang Yuan shook his head and left the laboratory by himself.

The leader standing in the room will affect everyone's enthusiasm for chatting, and he doesn't want to be a villain.

As soon as I walked out of the door of the room, I met the virtual world expert in the laboratory, Mr. Ichiro Yamamoto.

The founder of "Elysium", as soon as he heard that he had made something into it, he had trapped 50 million people, and he was in a state of autism all day long, even though the whole thing had nothing to do with him......

Yamamoto bowed at a precise angle of 45 degrees, still so respectful.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, greeted the guy who looked only in his twenties, and drank a cup of coffee.

It's a time of many old friends, even if the age distribution of these old friends has become very blurred.

"What's so special about coming into this world?"

"Very nervous! The so-called Elysium should have been encrypted, but they finally cracked it. Ichiro Yamamoto said ashamedly.

"It's in the past, and it doesn't have anything to do with you...... There are more and more cases where humans play themselves to death. ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Someone hacked a person to death with a kitchen knife, and the kitchen knife manufacturer can't be held responsible, right?" ”
