Chapter 255: A New Era

"Hibernator No. 0001, your hibernation at this stage has ended, you have hibernate for 25 years, 4 months, 13 days and 22 hours, and the remaining hibernation time: 396 years, 6 months, 18 days, 21 hours."

"Star Ring City Hibernation Center, 15:17 on June 7, Crisis Era 34."

The soft female electronic voice sounded in Pang Xuelin's ears, Pang Xuelin opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was a beautiful female nurse.

"Hello, Professor Pang, welcome to the new era!"

The female nurse smiled at Pang Xuelin and helped Pang Xuelin dismantle the medical equipment and electronic equipment attached to him.

Pang Xuelin looked around and found that the location he was in was a separate ward.

The surrounding area is pale blue walls, and there are plenty of plants in the corners and window sills, which makes it feel very comfortable.

Compared to the sticky feeling of hibernation fluid on his body and the rusty feeling in his brain when he hibernated for the first time, his body is now refreshing, as if he had slept and does not feel too much discomfort.

"Hello!"

Pang Xuelin opened his mouth and found that he felt okay except for a little weakness in his body.

"Professor Pang, wait a minute, Ms. Cheng Xin is waiting for you outside the ward."

Pang Xuelin nodded, and the nurse was busy for about another five minutes before completing the removal of all medical equipment and electronic equipment.

She then pushed the cart out of the ward.

After a while, Cheng Xin pushed the door out of the ward with a bag of clothes.

For hibernators, hibernation is like a good night's sleep.

Therefore, when he woke up again, Pang Xuelin did not have much strangeness to Cheng Xin.

"Professor Pang."

Cheng Xin said with a smile on her face, but Pang Xuelin felt a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

"Cheng Xin, where's Vader?"

Cheng Xin said: "Vader is now in the combat center, he asked me to wait for you to wake up, take you to visit Star Ring City first, understand the global situation, and then go over to meet him!" ”

"Operations Center?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.

Cheng Xindao: "Professor Pang, I will explain to you later, you should change your clothes first, the global situation is a bit complicated now." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded, took the clothes from Cheng Xin's hand, and then went to the bathroom to change them.

Coming out of the hibernation center, there was no trace of any cars at the door, replaced by two coaxial twin-rotor helicopters that Pang Xuelin had never seen before.

Pang Xuelin noticed that the roof rotor of the helicopter did not have a complex mechanical structure, and the two sets of rotors extended outward from the shaft, which looked delicate and small.

Accompanied by Cheng Xin, Pang Xuelin boarded a helicopter.

Soon, the helicopter started, the engine beeped, and the rotors spun at high speed.

"This should be a pure electric helicopter."

Pang Xuelin said secretly in his heart.

Through the helicopter, Pang Xuelin began to overlook the entire Star Ring City.

Compared to twenty-five years ago, the area of Star Ring has expanded tenfold, stretching from the foot of Mount Azul to the foot of Mount Negra in the north, occupying the entire plain in the southeast of the island.

Between the high-rise buildings, Pang Xuelin also noticed that there were many small gyroplanes shuttling among them.

There are a few of them that are actually single-person rotors, and the overall layout is similar to the small drones used for aerial photography in the real world, with a four-axis arrangement, and people are hung under the rotors.

Obviously, these are the new age of transportation.

But the most striking thing about the city is not the modern buildings or transportation, but the long track that stretches from the coastline into the distance and then follows the curve of the volcano.

The width of the track is nearly 100 meters, as if a giant dragon is lying on top of a volcano.

Cheng Xin noticed Pang Xuelin's gaze and explained: "Professor Pang, this is an electromagnetic orbit space launch system with a total length of more than 25 kilometers, which can launch an aerospace aircraft with a total weight of 1,000 tons and equipped with an ion electric propulsion system into low earth orbit at a time. ”

Then Cheng Xin pointed to a building near the coastline and said: "There is a nuclear fusion power station, and it is also the only nuclear fusion power station in the world, with a power of more than 50 million kilowatts, and the main power of the electromagnetic orbit space launch system is from this power plant." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said thoughtfully: "Tell me about the global situation." ”

Cheng Xin thought for a while, took out a piece of information from the document bag on the side and said: "This is what happened in the past twenty-five years that I sorted out in the past two days, you can take a look at it first, otherwise it will be unclear for a while." ”

Pang Xuelin took the document and flipped through it, and flipped through it in an uproar.

……

In the 10th year of the Crisis Era, the Trimaran Fleet passed through a second interstellar dust cloud and was observed by the Hubble-2 space telescope.

At the same time, Hubble-2 found that the Trimaran Fleet sent a probe to Earth, and the probe quickly accelerated to 15% of the speed of light, and if the deceleration time is counted, scientists estimate that the Trimaran probe will reach Earth within 200 years.

In the 12th year of the crisis era, Transwarp City invented the graphene lithium-air battery, triggering an energy revolution. By controlling the production process of large-area graphene films, Vader controls the global production of graphene lithium-air batteries, from which Transwarp makes more than $100 billion a year.

In the 13th year of the crisis era, the third-generation International Space Station, which can accommodate thousands of people, was completed, and the space elevator project entered the preparatory period.

In the 14th year of the crisis era, the second generation of carbon nanotube chips matured, and carbon-based chips began to fully replace silicon-based chips.

In the 15th year of the Crisis Era, Hines was awakened, and his wife Keiko Yamashimi developed a supercomputer that could holographically simulate human brain imaging.

Hines used himself as an experimental guinea pig to etch in his mind the false proposition that water is poisonous.

As a result, for several months, Hines did not get a drop of water, and could only continue his life through infusion.

It wasn't until through various psychological cues and treatments that Hines regained the idea that water is harmless.

In the same year, the PDC held a hearing and agreed to open belief centers in various countries, where people could voluntarily inscribe the belief that "humanity will win".

In the 16th year of the Crisis Era, Hines hibernates hibernate again and decided to reach the end of the world.

In the 18th year of the Crisis Era, Ray Diaz woke up, and in the same year, mankind successfully tested a stellar nuclear bomb on Mercury, and Ray Diaz became a guest of honor for the leaders of various countries.

In the same year, Rediaz decided to promote the manufacturing of a stellar-class hydrogen bomb on a large scale, and Rediaz denied the rumor circulating on the Internet that Mercury could slow down through a stellar hydrogen bomb and crash into the sun, turning the solar system into a purgatory more terrible than the Trisolaran Galaxy, so as to prevent the Trisolaran invasion.

The following year, Rediaz hibernated, deciding to wake up after fifty years.

In the 19th year of the Crisis Era, Taylor the Wall-Facing Scholar woke up and proposed a plan to establish a defensive circle in the asteroid belt, which pointed out that once the future human fleet failed to hold the solar system, it could use the complex space environment of the asteroid belt to conduct guerrilla warfare with the three-body civilization.

At the same time, Taylor proposed Europa expedition and suggested that mankind should establish an early warning system for the solar system.

In the 20th year of the crisis era, Taylor chose to hibernate again, deciding to wake up after 80 years.

In the 22nd year of the crisis era, after ten years of development, Transwarp Advanced Research Institute has become the world's largest basic scientific research center.

In the 25th year of the Age of Crisis, the Ideological Seal was ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice, and the Center of Faith was closed.

In the 28th year of the crisis, due to the abnormal climate caused by global warming, natural disasters occurred frequently around the world, such as unprecedented droughts in North and South America, and the largest floods in the history of Asian countries, which triggered the first food crisis. Countries have successively introduced Food Rationing Laws to impose large-scale controls on food distribution.

In the 30-year year of the crisis, Africa experienced the largest drought in history, triggering an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.

Millions of people died of starvation.

In the same year, the first nuclear fusion power station in human history was secretly inaugurated in Star Ring City.

In the 31st year of the crisis, the second food crisis broke out as the area of arable land shrank as the extreme climate and the environment deteriorated.

In September, the PDC passed a bill to stop funding to Star Ring.

In the same year, the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War broke out, and countries ignored themselves, and the peace bill issued by the PDC almost became an ornament.

In the 32nd year of the crisis, there was another massive drought in the middle of the United States, and starvation victims poured into the big cities on the east and west coasts, and Washington and the western states blamed each other.

In September of the same year, California declared independence.

The following month, the states on the West Coast of the United States declared their independence and refused to accept the victims.

In December, the American Civil War broke out, known as the East-West War, in which the western states divided four of the twelve U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups, and the Washington government obtained eight of them, but the civil war between the two sides was mainly confined to the interior of the North American continent.

In the 33rd year of the crisis era, Russia took advantage of the American civil war to send troops to Western Europe, and the United Nations and the PDC were close to disintegration.

In September of the same year, the electromagnetic orbital space launch system was completed in the Star Ring City, and the Star Ring City independently launched a space fighter weighing 1,000 tons.

It was only then that countries discovered that Star Ring, which had been making a fortune for more than 20 years, had mastered nuclear fusion technology and reduced the cost of space flight by more than ten times.

Countries have sent personnel to negotiate with Transwarp, hoping to reach an agreement with Transwarp on the issue of technology transfer, but nothing has been achieved.

In February of the 34th year of the Crisis Era, the western government of the United States sent the USS Reagan and the USS George Washington aircraft carrier battle group to carry out strategic deterrence against Star Ring.

In March, the US government in Washington dispatched the USS Ford and USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle groups to form an aircraft carrier group with the USS Queen of England and the USS Charles de Gaulle of France to deter in the waters near the Galapagos Islands.

At the same time, four aircraft carrier battle groups from China and Russia also arrived near the islands, and since China has always maintained good relations with Star Ring, any announcement of an attack on Star Ring City would be tantamount to a declaration of war on China.

In April, Star Ring City announced the completion of the assembly of the Oasis space battleship and conducted live firing.

In less than five minutes, the Oasis launched a strike with an electromagnetic railgun on an uninhabited island near Hawaii in the United States, a thousand kilometers away from the Earth.

In just five minutes, a solid alloy cannonball the size of a basketball leveled the volcanic island, which was nearly 0.5 square kilometers in size.

In the same month, the western government of the United States announced that if the Oasis dared to attack the continental United States, it would use a stellar-class hydrogen bomb to destroy the Star Ring.

Star Ring City announced that any military aircraft or warship of another country that enters within 200 nautical miles of the Galapagos Islands will be a provocation to Star Ring City.

On the same day, Star Ring shot down a U.S. Navy F35 fighter jet that had crossed the line slightly from 200 nautical miles away through a laser cannon erected on Santa Cruz Island.

The aircraft carriers and planes of various countries no longer dare to take a step beyond the minepool.

At present, Star Ring City and other countries have entered a state of confrontation, and the relevant sea and airspace have been completely blocked, but because Star Ring City has achieved food self-sufficiency through agricultural factories, countries have no way to take Star Ring City in a short period of time.

A week ago, the Chinese government proposed to revive Pang Xuelin, the founder of the Star Ring City, the founder of the Wall Facing Project, and use him to resolve the current stalemate.

After much consideration, Vader agreed.
