Chapter 321: Prosperity and Decline
Eight years later, it was June 2092. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It has been 119 years since Soviet scientist Sakharev observed the anomalous supernova explosion, the first year of the crisis, 1969.
As of now, the actual progress of human civilization in preparing for gamma-ray bursts is as follows.
Geocentric City Construction Goals:
A total of 1,020 [geocentric cities] have been completed (with a total construction target of 2,000), and a total of 1 billion people have lived in underground cities, which is still 50% short of the upper limit of 2 billion people;
Among them, the construction progress of major countries is as follows: 116 in China, 98 in the United States, 76 in Russia, 56 in Japan, 30 in India, 22 in Germany, 21 in the United Kingdom, and 20 in France......
Interstellar Migration Program:
A total of 242 space cities have been completed (300 in 2094, 600 in 2104, and 800 in 2114). )
The total number of spaceyards is 8.
There are 30 deep space resource development fleets (each fleet has at least 100 deep space resource development spacecraft), 1,000 frigates, etc.
......
At the same time, with the unremitting efforts of human civilization and the continuous development of science and technology, in addition to the moon, Mars bases, and Jupiter systems, many deep space resource development fleets have purposefully collected a huge number of precious resources.
Moreover, human exploration has also traveled to every corner of the solar system. Not to mention Pluto, which was once out of reach for humans, even objects in the more distant Kuiper Belt, such as Eris and Saidna, have been visited by deep space resource development fleets or scientific expeditions.
Yes, on the one hand, the Earth civilization is seizing the last time to collect more resources for the reserves of [Geocentric City] and [Space City]. On the other hand, the scientists of the earth also hope to have as much contact and insight as possible in this last period of time, the home of human civilization - the solar system!
In the vast cosmic space of the solar system, it is showing an unprecedented lively and busy scene.
Nearly 300 space cities are scattered throughout the solar system, and each space city will choose a representative space environment as a temporary port of call.
For example, the space cities that hide behind Mercury will face high solar radiation, and each of them has a large array of solar panels, and these space cities are tasked with researching and optimizing the use of solar energy.
At the same time, because Mercury is so close to the Sun and located deep in the Sun's gravitational potential well, it takes a lot of energy to fly to and from Mercury. So, a large number of scientists are thinking about strategies on how to cut and overcome these difficulties.
On the other hand, the space city on Saturn has to overcome the cold space environment and take on the task of studying the scientific exploration of the Saturn system.
Although under the persecution of gamma-ray bursts, the earth civilization has no choice but to develop into a deformed civilization, but the earth civilization has not stopped advancing in the fields of engineering science, materials science, structural science, computing science, life science, military science and technology.
When the potential of all mankind is forced to come out, the explosion of technology will become a norm. In the past decade, the earth's civilization has made far more achievements in basic and applied science and technology than in the past few thousand years combined. In the foreseeable future, in another 10 or 20 years, the earth's civilization will be fully prepared to deal with the gamma-ray burst crisis.
In the solar system, every day, a large number of spaceships shuttle back and forth between various galaxies, there are countless materials and people circulating in the galaxy, under the pressure of the apocalyptic crisis, the earth civilization has done its best, go all out, and burst out of unprecedented vitality.

Yuan Haochen, who had just finished his inspection of Saturn's Space City, was on his way back to Earth on a core-class spaceship with the highest navigation capabilities.
Hara's gaze was still on Saturn's unique, elegant aura.
"Saturn deserves to be the most beautiful planet in the solar system!" Yuan Haochen exclaimed.
After five years of continuous efforts, the resource development of the Saturn system has also reaped huge benefits.
Except that the mass is a little smaller, in general, Saturn and Jupiter are very similar. It is also a gas giant with extremely rich levels of deuterium and helium-3 in its unfathomable atmosphere.
In the Saturn system, there is also a very valuable moon - Titan.
There are rivers, lakes, oceans on Titan.
There are even white clouds floating in the sky of the planet, and the astronauts can feel the breeze blowing around them. Sometimes, when the rain falls, there will be a circle of ripples on the surface of the water.
Of course, everything the astronauts saw was a variety of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons, the vast majority of which was methane (Titan's temperature is relatively low, with an average temperature of -180 degrees Celsius).
In short, Titan is a fuel planet.
In addition, the Saturn system has some advantages that Jupiter does not have. For example, Saturn does not emit as much radiation as Jupiter does, which is excellent news for both resource extraction and scientific exploration.
Soon, Yuan Haochen returned to Earth, and instead of returning to the headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance, he flew directly to the United States.
This is because he returned to Earth early to attend an important conference organized by the United Nations.
By now, the earth's civilization has entered the final moment of the decisive battle against the apocalyptic crisis. Correspondingly, more and more contradictions between societies, nations, and even countries have begun to become prominent.
In the hearts of every earthling, their "mother" is so beautiful, irreplaceable, and unique.
The beautiful earth is the place where we were born and raised, and where we have lived and lived for generations, and we know everything about it.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the spring is bright, the purples are thousands of reds, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the clear water and blue sky, and behind every word there is a poetic picture.
The bustling cities that have taken countless painstaking efforts to build, the ecological environment that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, and the surging rivers, lakes and seas......
Will all this disappear from our world?
Every time I think of this, people feel a deep sadness.
......
Rare good weather.
When Yuan arrived in New York, it was early in the morning.
The warm sun was already hanging obliquely in the sky, and he raised his head to look at the sky, and his heart was full of an indescribable taste.
Yuan's car was driving towards the United Nations Headquarters building on the east side of Manhattan in New York City, the world's only "international territory."
Along the way, Yuan Haochen can see that the world's number one city has long since lost its neatness and cleanliness. Citizens were in a hurry on the road, and a large number of police and military personnel shuttled through every street, and the air was tense and dreary.
Although more and more people have already moved into the [Geocentric City] and [Space City], there are still a large number of citizens who are anxiously waiting for the remaining escape opportunities.
The sight is breathtaking!
The city is still the same city, with high-rise buildings, row upon row, and all kinds of modern facilities are still there, but Yuan Haochen can clearly perceive that this city has inevitably declined.
I'm afraid that the same is true of every other city in the world, no matter how prosperous it once was, it will eventually fall into ruins......
ps: I went on a business trip today, and I came back very late, so I can only change it, thank you for your understanding and support.
