The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.

Prosperity must decline.

It's the law.

The once sunset empire was rampant all over the world, and the sun never set on the land of the claimed empire, but in the end, under the impact of two world wars,

After all, this kingdom is rotten.

And the former slave turned over and became a master, jumped up, and became the only superpower in the world. How unbeatable was it then? The beacon of the world, the pearl of mankind, everyone yearns for it, and everyone worships it, as if they are worshipping God.

The result?

With the passage of time, it has not escaped the laws of history after all. It tried to disobey, but the truth told it that it was far from being as powerful as it could have been.

And history tells mankind:

The old king will always have his head cut off by the new king.

------ 2077 A.D.

The countries of the East, once lonely, have risen in a way that no one expected. It still has the pain caused by rapid development, but its pace has not stopped, and it has reached the top of the world step by step in a few decades.

Or rather, back to the top of the world.

No one could believe it, but everyone had to believe it, and as a former hegemon, it was only natural that a war broke out to defend the throne.

But times have changed.

The Cold War, which decided the status of the old kings, is a remnant of the past.

A new era,

The new king and the old king were greeted by a contest that resembled a game. The two sides exhausted their economy, trade, materials, technology and began a protracted war. It is not the great powers of the East that provoke the war, but it is not afraid, it knows that it is only its last madness.

Ten years later,

The tremendous pressure from the outside and the chaotic governance from within have finally brought the crazy old king to the limit, and its collapse symbolizes the arrival of a new era.

I have to admit it.

War is the best soil for the development of science and technology. Even if it is not a real war, it still prompts both sides to do their best to develop their own science and technology, and the world returns to peace, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind spreads all over the world, and the accumulated power finally ushers in an explosion.

Two hundred years after that.

Accumulated technology began to be strung together, and then exploded, and the advent of controlled nuclear fusion made people no longer confined to the earth under their feet, but to the sky above them.

It was a golden age.

The miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion, breakthroughs in composite technology, and the advent of one technology after another are urging human beings to bravely go to the infinite deep space. And every human being was on the verge of madness at that time, believing that they were the godsend of the universe.

Spaceships are heading towards the universe, space bases are being built, they may fail, but they never choose to give up.

Advance!

Move forward at all costs!

Subspace jumping technology, near-light speed engines, planetary environment modification technology, and the golden age of nearly 10,000 years have made human beings the masters of the stars.

But-----

Even at this point, even with such tremendous development, mankind has not escaped the laws of history. It may be late, but it will never be absent. As the boundaries of humanity become more and more extensive, a problem that once faced the ancient feudal empire also arises:

I can't do it.

The speed of human development has exceeded its ability to manage, and the old concept of the state has gradually been restored and has begun to take root in the starry sky.

It's like cancer cells.

fast

Fatal.

This is the Silver Age of humanity.

They are still aggressive, they are trying to maintain order, but in their healthy bodies, the cancer cells are rapidly changing and eating away at it.

It's like it's depicted in many movies.

Exhaustion.

Ennui.

There is also the pride of crossing the starry sky but not meeting an opponent, which makes human beings stop, and more and more people are beginning to fail to accept the situation that the living conditions of different living stars are completely different due to the large territory, and they think that it is time to put human life first.

Lazy.

Arrogant.

This is the Bronze Age of mankind.

Of course, people who have read history well and understood how brilliant and enterprising human beings once were, naturally cannot accept the changes in human society.

They desire to prove it.

But this is not the same as in the past, compared to the time when it was once trapped on a mere planet, today's class has become a huge civilization that spans countless light years. And if you want to cure it, it is naturally unimaginably difficult, and people cannot understand each other after all.

In this case, no one has the patience to change step by step, after all, people will always die, and they want to achieve their goals in their lifetime.

And there's a simple way to do that.

Monarchy.

Of course, there will be a second one, and human beings have returned to the time when they were still on the earth, but on a larger scale, history is still repeating, and the heroes who once aspired to change human society either died with hatred or with the light.

This is the heroic age of humanity.

But people's minds are not aligned, and while some people want to solve problems by the method of domination, others choose another path.

Technology.

New technology has ushered in a golden age for humanity, so it stands to reason that it should also help humanity rediscover its golden age.

And it was at that time-----

The apocalypse has come.

New technologies emerged inspired by researchers, just as Newton discovered gravity, a feat of Genesis.

They call it "consciousness uploading technology"

In the past, human beings put everything on exploring deep space, and space technology was extremely developed. But correspondingly, there are some technologies that human beings have fantasized about in the age of the earth, but they still have not appeared in the heroic age 10,000 years later. And this technique is consciousness uploading.

forsake the flesh,

Upload your consciousness to a perfect utopian world and live a perfect life, and all you have to pay is a small amount of money.

It's like an Internet café in the age of Earth.

It was perfect.

Isn't it?

Those who are unwilling to forge ahead, and those who are dissatisfied with life, can abandon their physical bodies and upload their consciousness to the "virtual universe" to live an ideal life. As for those who are unwilling to upload, they can continue to live in the real universe and shine for the progress of human civilization.

Thereupon-----

The next era of humanity has arrived.

With flying machines in the sky and high-rise buildings in sight, Lu Xingzhou looked at the "A Brief History of Human Civilization" in his hand and fell into a deep daz.

Subspace jumping?

Faster-than-light engines?

A utopian world?

Virtual universe?

After turning the "A Brief History of Human Civilization" in his hand to the last page, what caught Lu Xingzhou's eyes was a large virtual universe propaganda advertisement.

Shaoqing,

Lu Xingzhou let out a heartfelt sigh: "What the hell is this TM!" ”
