After the Martian turmoil, technology entered an explosive period. The biggest impetus for this explosion was the invention of the particle beam core antimatter engine. Protons and antiprotons are annihilated one-on-one, and then a magnetic field is used to control the charged mesons and eject them directly from the vent, and since these mesons are moving at a speed close to the speed of light, the specific impulse of the engine may exceed 10 million seconds, and the explosion of enormous energy is enormous. It fundamentally solves the problem of fuel consumption for long-term operation of the spacecraft, making 'helium-3' no longer the only fuel option.

Antimatter has always been one of the popular research directions of physicists. The principle of antimatter engines is also no secret, the emphasis is on antimatter fuels. Previously, antimatter fuels were expensive and difficult to preserve, and their basic functions existed in laboratories and could not be used in practical applications. Until ten years ago, one person solved this problem. This person is Liu Jie, but he didn't make it public. After Liu Jie returned to Mars, it took him five years to solve the problem of manufacturing and preserving antimatter fuel. He was able to rise quickly on Mars, also thanks to the windfall profits brought by antimatter fuel.

Liu Jie secretly set up an 'antimatter energy company' to sell antimatter fuel to all forces. Theoretically, one ton of heavy antimatter fuel can propel a million-ton spacecraft to fly for ten years. Therefore, antimatter fuel is not a fast expendable. This is also the reason why Boulder and others can enter the asteroid belt, and they have antimatter fuel that allows them to sail in the asteroid belt for at least seven or eight years.

All antimatter fuels come from Liu Jie's 'antimatter energy company'. All antimatter fuels can only be burned in antimatter energy power furnaces that are sold by the antimatter fuel company with the fuel. And it can only be used as a spacecraft energy source, and cannot be used anywhere else. It's not that no one bothered to spy on the process of making antimatter fuel, or use it elsewhere. But no force has ever succeeded, this is a kind of suppression of the level and realm of science and technology, which is beyond the reach of manpower.

Liu Jie's invincible reliance on Mars comes from a series of 'antimatter energy black technologies' with 'antimatter fuel' as the core he has mastered. Others can't imitate, so he can always be ahead.

Another representative of the technological explosion is the super evolution of combat weapons.

Before the Martian turmoil, the biggest goal of human society was to explore space, and it was in a period of relative peace. The direction of scientific and technological development is not to use force. The weapons that are commonly used in warfare are still not much different from those of hundreds of years ago. Missiles, warplanes, electromagnetic guns, all kinds of guns and rockets, etc. But during the Martian turmoil, since most of the weapons of mankind exist on Earth, there are very few weapons on the Martian side, and suddenly the demand increases. So all of a sudden, the laboratories that were originally used for other research purposes were forced to study weapons. For a time, a hundred flowers bloomed, and all kinds of weapons were born. After an unknown number of eliminations, several weapons were recognized in real combat.

Individual combat, wearable mecha, artificial intelligence mecha. Wearable mecha was born from the original intelligent equipment. Artificial intelligence mechas, simply put, are weapon-type robots, both of which are about the same as burning money. Liu Jie has occupied the most resources and minerals due to the windfall profits of the antimatter energy company, so his mecha force is also the most powerful. At the same time, Liu Jie himself is also an extremely good engineer, and his personal armor suit 'God of War' has always ranked first in the mecha rankings. However, in terms of artificial intelligence mechas, there are other forces that dominate the market, and the 'Gear Research Institute' before the Martian turmoil, with its leading edge in the field of artificial intelligence and a strong team of engineers, occupied this high ground in the golden age of the rise of artificial intelligence mechas.

At the same time, various types of missiles have also been upgraded. Weapons represented by highly polluting nuclei have been replaced by major forces due to their highly polluting characteristics, but this kind of weapon still exists and has not been completely eliminated. The native environment of Mars is not easy for humans to live in, and humans can only live in ecological dome cities, and the use of nuclear weapons will cause irreversible pollution, which will make human living space smaller and smaller. Replacing nuclear weapons are electromagnetic weapons, which are not much different in essence and serve as a means of long-range attack.

In terms of strategic weapons, due to the birth of antimatter fuel, warships naturally entered a stage of rapid development. Every faction has at least one warship. There are many types of naval guns on the battleship, and the development direction is different, and the power of weapons is also different. It is also common for warships to bombard each other, but there is only one point, no warship dares to appear in Liu Jie's sphere of influence, which is the ultimate weapon of today's human society.

Antimatter energy, in essence, is also an energy source. It's just that no one except Liu Jie has mastered the technology to use this kind of energy. Liu Jie's refusal to promote this technology does not mean that he does not have the ability to use antimatter energy in other fields. Soon after the birth of antimatter energy, Liu Jie put it into practice on weapons, using the annihilation reaction between positive and negative protons, he created the 'annihilation cannon', the role of the 'annihilation cannon' is very simple, the antimatter cannons it fires, no matter what matter hits, will undergo a neutralization reaction, turning matter into nothingness. The only flaw is that the Annihilation Cannon is huge, and the base and internal generators alone spread thousands of kilometers underground, so it exists in the form of a 'base'. Moreover, the amount of antimatter energy consumed by a single annihilation cannon is huge, and it cannot be easily consumed. But on the other hand, other forces could not afford to consume the battleships, so no one dared to test the second time after the first fool who did not measure himself tested the power of the annihilation cannon. Its existence, like nuclear weapons before mankind broke out of the atmosphere, is a strategic deterrent.

Liu Jie relied on the windfall profits brought by antimatter energy and technological suppression, and rose rapidly in just ten years, constantly expanding his sphere of influence. But to everyone's baffle, he never established a regime. This does not correspond to an era in which all those who have the force to occupy an eco-domed city, or even half of it, have established regimes of various sizes. For more than a decade, Mars has been dotted with kingdoms, principalities, republics, federations, and so on. Some of these people claim to be the descendants of a certain dynasty in history, the heirs of a certain noble, anyway, the earth has been destroyed, and no one will jump out to oppose anything.

Liu Jie also continued to wage wars, overthrowing countless such regimes, and was dubbed the 'conqueror'. But his own forces have never announced what kind of physical regime they will establish. Guy he only conquers, not manages. Each time he conquers an Eco Dome city, he will issue a different task, whether it is to ask for resources, or to recruit troops, etc., as long as the city can meet his needs, he will not ask for anything else. For ordinary people living in this city, it's just a change of 'mayor', and not much has changed.
