Chapter 332: The Suffering Earth Civilization

Yuan Haochen looked at the blank screen with a little emotion, but his eyes were a little complicated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Trunik's message was mixed.

It was indeed a relief to learn that more Space Cities would have the opportunity to join the Interstellar Migration team.

For [post-earth civilization], the population base, that is, human resources, will be the most valuable wealth to ensure the smooth inheritance and continuation of the earth's civilization.

When Frank had a fierce dispute with Hobert, he once quoted this sentence: My life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge. Because everyone's life, ability and knowledge are limited, every scientific field and every industry development needs a sufficient population base as support. After this crisis, the more people survive, the faster the Earth's civilization will recover.

However, Trunik's last words were really worrying to him.

Hara has been working in the IEA's Earth Crisis Research Team for decades, and he is naturally aware of what Durunik is saying. Why did the initiator's star wr104 so impartially aim at the solar system and the earth? Why did another supernova that unexpectedly erupted happen so coincidentally, adding to the woes of Earth's civilization.

If the axis of rotation of star WR104 is not facing the Earth, the Earth will certainly be affected to a certain extent at a distance of 8,000 light-years, but it will not cause heavy casualties.

According to the latest assessment of the Earth Crisis Research Team, if the gamma-ray burst is within 100~200 light years of the destruction distance, all objects in the path of the explosion will be directly vaporized. And 8,000 light years may seem far away, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of the ultimate bug of the universe - the powerful gamma ray burst.

In recent years, Yuan has become increasingly worried about whether the 5-kilometer-deep underground city can withstand the onslaught of gamma-ray bursts.

However, there was no turning back from the bow. The civilization of the earth has come to the state where it is today, and everything is left to heaven. In Yuan's view, perhaps the worst-case scenario is that the half of the earth facing the gamma-ray burst head-on will be completely destroyed, and the side facing away should still have a very high chance of survival.

"Let's hope there aren't more extreme situations." Yuan Haochen thought to himself, although reason told him that the probability of the earth being completely destroyed was extremely low. However, every time he thinks that the earth is accurately locked by the long-range sniper rifle of the star WR104, Yuan Haochen shudders.

"The suffering civilization of the earth, are we destined for this catastrophe?" Yuan Haochen continued to think, "If it weren't for the former Soviet scientist Sakharev, who accidentally discovered that supernova explosion, the earth's civilization might still be kept in the dark. If it cannot be predicted in advance and without any precautions, the earth's civilization will definitely have a dead end! ”

(The half of the Earth that is not hit head-on will also be quickly spread by violent radiation.) In addition, the atmosphere will be severely destroyed. Therefore, human beings living on the other side are also doomed. )

"Is this really just a coincidence!?" Yuan Haochen's brows tightened, "How small the earth civilization is, why did the vast universe choose the earth and the solar system." If it weren't for this crisis, the earth's civilization might have entered the era of interstellar development......"

Yuan Haochen remembered the last words of Durunik again.

"I have a strong premonition that the earth has been precisely locked, and the end may not be far away......"

"Hopefully we still have time, and hopefully there will be more humans who can escape the solar system."

Yuan Haochen decided not to think about these useless things anymore, and what the current earth civilization needs to do is to take precautions and prepare for the worst.

......

The Second Space City Group is the political core of all Space Cities, because the post-Interstellar Exploration Alliance, as well as the headquarters of the federal government, are located in Sunshine City, the central space city of the Second Space City Group.

Sunshine City is the space capital of the entire interstellar immigrant human camp, and its name is taken from the stellar sun on which Earth's civilization depends.

The scale of Sunshine City far exceeds that of other space cities, in the design and planning of all space cities, the general space city can accommodate a population of 300,000, the scale of 10 central space cities can accommodate a population of 500,000, and the population of Sunshine City, as the capital, can accommodate more than 800,000.

A mere population of 800,000 pales in comparison to the tens of millions of megacities on earth. However, such a population is staggering in space.

Unlike the Earth Age, the entire interstellar migration camp has a relatively centralized central government.

In the structure of the unified federal system, the division of powers between the central government, i.e., the federal government, and the governments of the federal states is clearly defined in the constitution. The two sides exercise their powers independently and without interference from the other side within the limits of their constitutional authority (in the event of a conflict between the laws of the two sides, the federal constitution and laws take precedence over the local constitutions and laws).

The federal government has adopted a basic political system of separation of powers. That is, the legislative, executive, and judicial powers are independent of each other and check and balance each other (among them, the executive power refers to the government, the legislative power refers to the Senate and House of Representatives system of the National Assembly, and the judicial power refers to the courts), so as to implement the main idea of "constitutionalism" of governing the country according to the constitution and curb the emergence of absolute dictatorship.

However, it was once said that human beings are the most complex animals, and that the human heart is unfathomable, and as long as there are human beings, there will be no absolute fairness and justice.

In addition, there is an extreme imbalance of power among the member states of the Federation, such as China, the United States and Russia, which account for more than 70% of the population of the Space City Group. As a result, there is a delicate balance between the overall functioning mechanism of the federal central government.

Fortunately, after decades of in-depth cooperation in human society, the idea of "unity leads to establishment, division leads to collapse" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, although the process of the political pattern and social structure of great unification is slow, it has become the trend of the times.

In addition, the Interstellar Exploration Alliance will continue to follow the original organizational structure, not involved in politics, and only responsible for space exploration projects that are linked to the fate of human civilization. However, in the current era of complex landscapes, the post-interstellar exploration alliance cannot and should not be separated from the federal government. Perhaps, one day in the future, the Interstellar Exploration Alliance should also be integrated into a unified human federal government.

......

The era of interstellar migration is different from the era of Earth's homeland. As the saying goes, it is good to be at home, but it is difficult to go out, and in the long process of interstellar immigration, the federal government cannot make people live a superior and prosperous life.

In order to maintain the operation of the space city, people have to work harder and dedicate. Although the federal government has tried its best to provide the necessary living security for the residents of the space city, there is still a big gap compared to the good life of living on Earth, whether it is educational conditions, recreational facilities, welfare support, or working and living environment.

The same situation also happened in the [City of the Earth], compared to the people who stayed on the surface of the earth, whether it was the residents of the space city or the underground world, their living conditions were very different.

As the population of the terrestrial world continues to decline, so does the amount of resources they have per capita. Coupled with the compensatory policies of various governments for the residents left behind on the ground, even if the surface world devotes most of the materials to support the residents of the [Inner World], it is still enough for them to live a worry-free life.

However, in the hearts of the left-behind people in the ground city, they are still looking forward to the opportunity to enter the city in the center of the earth or the space city, after all, it is better to die than to live. It's not nice to worry about not being able to see the sun tomorrow morning before going to bed every day......

ps: It's too late to come back today, so there is only one more, please understand, thank you for your continued support. (To be continued.) )
