Chapter 33: The Past
After listening to Shi Qiang's words, Luo Ji didn't know what to say for a while, he felt incredible about the speed of development of the earth, it was only two hundred years, and the current solar system had directly become a sun village, such a change made him a little at a loss, and at the same time, he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He finally didn't have to go that far.
The final meeting of the Facing Project is about to begin, and at this meeting, it will put an end to the nearly 200-year-old Project Facing the Wall, and these people who have been facing the wall for the survival of human civilization need to be treated as they deserve.
After nearly 180 years, the hearing of the wall-facing plan was held again, and this hearing was no longer to judge the wall-facing plans that the wall-facers put forward without knowing whether they were true or false, as they had done so many times before, but to reward these human heroes, which can be called yes-heroes.
The participants included all the people who faced the wall: Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, Taylor, Ray Diaz, Hines, Wade, and representatives of various regions of the People's Republic of Earth on Earth at this time.
In these years, with the tremendous increase in productivity, the power of capital has been constantly weakened, because, unlike in the early twenty-first century, what may have taken a few thousand people to produce can now be easily made by a single person.
Thus, in the 100th year of the Age of Crisis, the cause of communism was finally recognized by the whole world through the efforts of the existing republics on Earth. The world is thus divided into five main parts: China, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the European Community, the Free Republic of America, and the Three-Body Special Administrative Region of China. The last side is the territory of the members of the ETO, because after all, the technology of the Three-Body Problem is stronger than that of any country in the human race, and with the support of the Three-Body Problem, it is not surprising that these people can take down a large area.
As for the rest of the places, because there is no strong resistance ability, coupled with various natural and man-made disasters, most of the places have been occupied by the above five. There are only a few small scattered places, which are not actually occupied because they are not available for the time being. It's just that I first declared that the land has belonged to my country since ancient times, and I will take it when I have time. The Earth Republic was also founded at that time.
Luo Ji had asked Shi Qiang on the road why the pattern of the world had changed so much, and Shi Qiang looked at the tablet around them and told him what had happened decades after he and the other wall-facing people hibernated.
"At that time, the wartime state of human beings and the three-body problem had not yet been lifted, and the whole world was in a wartime state at that time. In order to increase the engine of controlled nuclear fusion and the solar railgun of Project Wade, all the humans on the ground are tightly clothed. At that time, our country had already begun to issue food stamps, industrial stamps and the like.
Not to mention other countries, some of which collapsed directly because of food shortages, and those refugees destroyed along the way, even eating up the forests...... What not to eat? …… I'm so hungry that those people can even eat dirt? If you don't believe it, it's really miserable to look at the materials at that time.
In such a situation, the power of capital is reduced to a minimum. Russia also produced a heroic figure at the beginning. He studied in China, and during that crisis, he called on the entire member states of the former Soviet Union to unite and restore the Soviet system to deal with the disaster. ”
Luo Ji asked in surprise: "Did the Soviet Union recover like this later?" ”
"That's right, our country also helped them a lot at that time, and the two sides established a deep revolutionary friendship. And then, in the midst of that catastrophe, the entire earth was reborn. All the outdated elements were eliminated by the times, and the ideals of communism were realized all over the world. ”
After Shi Qiang finished saying this, he immediately said one of his conjectures: "I think that when the Americas were liberated, it may not only be the earth, but even the three-body problem. If you look at the textbooks of that era, you can see that some things are so smooth that they are incredible. ”
"At that time, the Great Famine ended with the establishment of these four nations, and there was no doubt that communism was better suited to help the people survive the disaster. As for the later establishment of China's Three-Body Special Administrative Region, it was the credit of the later ETO remnants, who occupied the continent of Australia, and according to the information that has now been lifted, the other four republics have all contributed. Soon after it was established, that agreement spread throughout the earth, and the time of peace was coming.
As a result, the science and technology of human society once again entered the stage of the Big Bang. In this scientific explosion, the emergence of artificial intelligence, the construction of electromagnetic orbits in the solar system, the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion, and the ...... of strong interaction forces These things emerged one by one, and later, you almost know about those modern history, the peace between the two sides has almost arrived, and after the head of the three-body problem noticed that the orbit of the solar system was all laid, they had no way at all, these orbits that were usually just used for interplanetary leaps could be directly transformed into super cannons in wartime.
There are at least five gates on the bright surface that can accelerate an object of considerable mass to near the speed of light. ”
"Five doors?" Luo Ji was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Is five doors enough?" ”
"Ha, Brother Luo, I thought so at the beginning. Five doors, sounds a bit less. But then I didn't think so. Do you know about orbital accelerators? ”
"Well, I know a little. The two are theoretically connected. ”
"That's right, but the difference is that in space, there's nothing that slows down the object we're accelerating, there's a vacuum. So the orbital accelerators of the solar system are actually made up of thousands of 'rings'. Such rings usually extend at the end of the space elevator, and are responsible for sending vehicles to other planets or slowing down aircraft from other planets, and once a war starts, these "rings" can be stacked one by one, allowing our "cannonballs" to reach incredible speeds.
What's even more terrifying is that there is almost no cooldown to use this thing, and by adjusting the position of the 'ring', the dead space can be said to be basically non-existent. ”
Shi Qiang finished what he said, and they had already walked to the door of the Union Building of the Earth Republic, where Zhang Beihai was standing straight and greeted them.
"Dr. Luo Ji, Officer Shi Qiang, please come with me, the meeting is about to start."
