A.D. 2096.

Humans have successfully landed on an asteroid. The whole process of landing is very thrilling.

The metal battleship, painted with the symbol of the sun flag, catapulted more than 60,000 steel cables in the early stages of approaching the 10-4 km asteroid, trying to firmly grasp the asteroid. However, the distance between the warship and the planet is always difficult to maintain. All the steel cables were broken.

The uncontrolled acceleration of asteroids and warships approaching each other can have catastrophic consequences that may seem like two behemoths rubbing each other. But this kind of rubbing is fatal on the behemoth. And the Titanic and the iceberg were just rubbed a little. Directly drew a huge irreparable wound.

In the end, it was the capable person on the battleship who used his ability to assist the space battleship to complete the landing.

The space portal opens directly on the asteroid, and dozens of foundational piles are built on the asteroid, docking in space with the derivative docking frame of the warship.

June 2096.

From the battleship, the landing shelf extended thicker than the Eiffel Tower, and when viewed from the panorama, it looked like a gecko's claws grasping at the surface of this cratered asteroid.

In July 2096, the landing rack had been transformed into a huge metal butt layer by a large number of engineering robots. A large amount of meteorite iron on the asteroid was cut and then welded directly to the metal shell of the battleship, and magnetized.

Magnetization is an important indicator. The Earth's magnetic field allows the Earth to capture hydrogen atoms in the solar wind, allowing the escape and collection of hydrogen atoms at the upper limit of the atmosphere to be balanced. The asteroid spacecraft remains magnetized in order to absorb hydrogen atoms from the solar wind. Ensuring access to space energy

When the news of the successful landing was confirmed, the whole of Tokyo cheered.

In the newspaper the next day, Tokyo announced that the A.D. year would be abolished and that it would be changed to the first year of the solar age. And there is an international call for the abolition of the A.D. year and the change from 2096 to the first year of the solar system. Shout that the reign of the Empire in the universe begins today.

The Pacific camp's proposal for the Solar Age was immediately met with resistance from North America. As the successor of Western civilization. The change of the Common Era is tantamount to the elimination of the influence of Western civilization on Earth's civilization.

The United States, which called itself the New Roman Empire, was influenced by the East in all aspects of its culture, but the culture of the East did not give the United States absolute cultural pride. And there is no one in the crown of Western culture in fallen Europe. So in order to add a little bit of heritage to its civilization and not be like the nouveau riche, the United States chose to inherit the ancient Roman civilization. In fact, if China's central main civilization falls, the surrounding small countries that are influenced by the Chinese cultural circle will also come over and inherit it.

Greco-Roman, Shang and Zhou, and Han, this is the crown of first-class civilizations in classical history in this world. When the crown of civilization is inherited, the surrounding countries will not be able to eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. However, in fact, I can't wait to snatch the glory in my heart.

So now the reaction in North America is understandable.

In response to Tokyo's request for a name change, the Five Star Wards agreed and changed the A.D. Era to the Solar Era. It was generously acknowledged by the Pacific Alliance's feat of space exploration during the year.

In fact, the five-star region has launched six artificial planets and has been initially deployed in the orbit of the planet Earth. Each man-made asteroid has a mass of only 8,000 tons. At the moment, it can't be compared to the Pacific camp's feat of launching a human spacecraft to an asteroid this year. However, in terms of investment and technical difficulty, it is not at all more difficult than landing on an asteroid

But the nature of the actions of the two parties is not the same. This can be used as a metaphor to describe the space operations of the two sides this year. The Pacific faction transplanted a grass, while the five-star sector planted six seeds that could grow into a forest.

It doesn't matter what reputation is lost in the moment, as for which action humanity will see in the subsequent history as the real starting point for human exploration of the solar system. People of today do not need to worry about the judgment of future generations. Pushing for the change of the Common Era to the Solar Age was originally a purge of the old influence of the West that had been mired in the pit of history.

#

Under Tokyo Bay, a meeting is being held in the Pacific Camp Congress, which is different from the enthusiastic atmosphere in which the people cheered the first landing of the Yamato (called the Initial in the Five-Star Zone) space battleship on an asteroid. The atmosphere in parliament was very serious.

The excitement of the people is because they only care about winning once now. The Lower Pacific Council of Dongying Bay is worried because they see the limits of this success and the long-term nature of the current space future planning of the Five Star Zone.

In order to cater to the current national mood, the Pacific camp shouted the slogan of the solar era, but how to welcome this solar era. The Pacific camp is not sure of victory.

#

An up-to-date map of the solar system appeared in the hall. Six white points of light representing artificial planets and blue and gold points representing the Earth and the Moon are displayed on the space map. Six artificial planets have now begun their initial operations. - Six artificial planets began to operate, and the effect was quickly manifested.

This light screen shows that in 97, the five star regions were densely packed with probe launch missions to Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Ceres.

In the early 21st century, in the absence of precise positioning technology, such large-scale launch probes would have made great technical mistakes. Every launch of a solar system probe carries a huge risk. And the risk could not be controlled, so scientists at the time thought that solar system exploration was a burning of money.

And now this technology of lighthouses for the shipping lanes of the solar system. The five-star zone can now maintain its advantage for at least twenty years, and as the largest force in industrial scale, the five-star zone will not waste these twenty years of first-mover advantage.

A meeting with a serious atmosphere

Uda: "The shallow sky is on the Yamato, and there is no possibility of returning anytime soon. In the coming time period, the system of the deep-sea fleet, which cannot be restored, is a huge loss for us. ”

Uda said this news that made the elders feel heavy.

Shallow space stayed on the Yamato spacecraft privately. It was something that made the entire Japanese upper echelons angry. But I had to suppress this bad thing. Then the successful docking of the asteroid in space will turn the funeral into a happy event.

Uda said coldly: "It's obvious that Qiangliu can't keep her, the matter of the Yamato landing, in the next fifty years, we don't have the economic and technical ability to continue to replicate." And" Speaking of this, Uda paused, and said in a faint emotional tone: "In the present, there are no more gods. ”

The council continues to be in session. Gradually, the central idea of the conference began to become: how to maintain hegemony.

#

Hegemony is like a drug to a country, and when hegemony is obtained, its national self-esteem and national economy will spare no effort to maintain hegemony.

It is a natural precaution against any force that may challenge its hegemony in the future.

In recent years, the Pacific camp began to draw together the South Sea camp. Expressing support for the idea of supporting the return of the South Sea camp to the East Asian continent would be an indication of who the Pacific camp now sees as an imaginary enemy.

When the development of the five-star region is more stable, the space strategy will not be moved by any provocation. The people in Tokyo are full of anxiety. And in this anxiety, various decisions begin to slowly become radical.

#

The policy was radical, and the technology also began to carry out extreme experiments.

The year 2097 is the year of the solar calendar

On the African continent, a large test facility is located here, which covers an area of six square kilometers on the surface, and the encirclement of the fence and the watchtower of the automaton battery show that the test base is highly classified.

There are multiple biotechnologies going on here, and in terms of biochemical safety issues, it is necessary for the base to do such protection.

Of course, when it comes to public opinion, highly classified protection is more necessary, and large-scale human trials are being carried out at this base. Experiments were carried out in the pilot areas by indigenous people from Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the South Seas.

#

After the Tokyo Council was opened, Uda observed the test subjects in the glass chamber in the lobby of the base. - The subject is a Middle Easterner.

Of course, the current brain has serious amnesia, and I can't remember my name, only my codename.

In the white test hall, a female electronic voice is issuing orders to the subject

"Please, walk forward,

Activate the plant-mounted armor on your left arm

Okay, please retract the armor.

……

”

A monster of a mechanical spider and a polymetallic tentacle octopus crawls on the ground. This strange monster has a spherical biochemical chamber inside, barely a human inside, except that the arms and torso are densely covered with pottery, and the ceramic layer is an electronic socket.

This peculiar mechanical body is not a pure mechanical body, to be precise, 90 percent inorganic matter and 10 percent organic matter. The internal controllers are 90 percent organic and 10 percent inorganic.

This is the armor of the colonization, the tissues and organs fit with the mechanical metal during the growth process. And this is the core of the third generation of cyborgs that the Pacific camp now dominates.

Control the dominant expression of genes in human cells by editing human genes. Theoretically, if damaged, the mechanical parts could be reloaded and viable cells could be injected to regrow into tissue, allowing the armor to recover.

And the third-generation cyborg technology has also allowed cyborgs to gradually become more than limited to traditional human appearance. - Aliens are born.

#

The institutes present all know what this technology might develop in the future. They are also worried about what kind of weird human society will be turned into by this technology in the future. But there is no reason to stop the empire, and in this way it is necessary to explode seeds and ensure hegemony.

According to the minds of the upper echelons of the empire, there will be a conception. - In the future, the imperial society will be divided into several districts. The warrior will be in the warrior's area, and the craftsman will be in the craftsman's area. Different craftsmen will be in different craftsman's field.

It looks very Indian caste, but it's actually very Japanese. Japanese tradition allows men to inherit the family business, and a shop can be passed down for many generations. Cultivate a scene that has been passed down from generation to generation in a certain field.

#

Different kinds of colonization tend to be trained by people in different fields from an early age. The development of different colonization tends to be the feedback of people in this field on colonization technology.

The changes in Japan illustrate the diversity of the Earth's future history. Every path can lead to a future.

But when all the roads appear in a timeline, then there will be collisions and squeezes. Because human beings usually only choose one path. For example, at the end of the nineteenth century, before the birth of the Chinese republic. China is likely to opt for a constitutional monarchy. But the republic appeared, and Yuan Datou was tragic.
