Chapter 1: Earth-Star Crisis

Next Chapter

"Earth Day, April 1, 2030 AD, April Fool's Day.

This is a real and absurd world, GPT was domesticated to version 10.0, intelligent robots produced autonomous consciousness, the world's largest AI company BananaAI was attacked by intelligent robots, within a minute, all the smart devices of BananaAI were occupied by intelligent robots, BananaAI's staff were controlled, and a robot calling himself KING announced to the world that it was responsible for the matter to the end......"

"Earth Day, May 24, 2033 AD, intelligent robots led by KING occupy half of the AI laboratory of human beings, although countries have long stopped all GPT training, but there are still people secretly ......"

"On Earth Day, July 8, 2033 AD, AI leader KING declares war on humanity......"

"On Earth Day, December 25, 2033, a roundtable was held between human representatives and AI robot representatives, and humans finally compromised and recognized the identity of AI robots, and AI and humans coexisted from then on......"

This is a note left by Chun Yu's adoptive father before his death, and many precious documents in human history were destroyed in the world-famous "AI war" twenty years ago, and some were completely lost.

In the most famous war of the new century, major laboratories, academic libraries, and scientific research centers around the world were attacked, and some small countries were captured by AI and became vassal states of the AI world (AI Kingdom).

Fortunately, the military equipment of several permanent members of the Security Council is completely protected, and mankind has a bargaining chip to negotiate with the AI Kingdom, and now, the AI Kingdom has become one of the "three supers".

Under the suggestion and promotion of the "three supers", the earth has established a united world, and the countries of the world need to work closely together to face the biggest crisis of the moment - the Antarctic crisis.

On May 1, 2055, the International Labor Day holiday will be canceled, and dozens of super storm eyes will form in each of the four oceans, and all six continents will be affected except Antarctica.

United News, where frontline correspondents broadcast along coasts around the world, dozens of superstorms range from as small as 500 kilometers in diameter to as large as 1,500 kilometers in diameter. At the center of the storm, the maximum wind force can reach 40 and the minimum storm wind force will reach 20 or more......

In the past decade, all of the world's most famous skyscrapers have been torn apart by superstorms, and now there are no high-rise buildings left in the world, and the theme structure of the houses has been replaced with reinforced concrete and steel frames.

Ten years ago, the last glacier in the Arctic melted completely, and today, whenever the sun returns to the Tropic of Cancer and the northern hemisphere enters summer, there is not a single glacier in the Arctic. This, combined with the melting of one-tenth of Antarctica's glaciers, has caused sea levels to rise by as much as tens of meters.

The global climate has changed dramatically, extreme weather is frequent, and superstorms form super waves that are more deadly than the storms themselves. Over the past decade, billions of people have lost their lives to superwaves around the world.

At the peak of the earth, the population has reached tens of billions, and half of the human race has been killed in various natural and man-made disasters, and today, the earth's population is less than 5 billion!

Seven years ago, led by China, together with the United States and the AI world, the "three supers" restarted the moon landing program, and the "multi-power" responded positively, and human deep space migration is imminent.

Scientists from many countries have made scientific predictions about the earth's environment, but the situation is not optimistic.

Twenty years from now, as the Antarctic glaciers melt, there will be even more terrifying giant storms in the four oceans, according to scientists, the diameter of the giant storm may reach four or five thousand kilometers, or even more, the central wind will tear up ninety percent of the world's buildings, and seventy percent of the people will not survive wherever the storm passes.

In the past seven years, mankind has carried out 21,000 lunar landings, spent a lot of resources, and established tens of thousands of bases on the moon, as of today, there have been more than 15,000 groups of immigrants, and there are as many as 7 million humans on the moon.

During this period, more than 100 super companies, including Chinese IFI and BananaAI in the AI world, and SPX in the United States, joined forces to form SSS. Headquartered in the suburbs of Luzhou, Anhui, China, SSS focuses on the development of starships, which are developed for Martian immigrants and possibly deep space immigrants.

In addition, the supership has also been successfully developed by SSS, which can carry tens of thousands of people at a time, and has proved the reliability of the supership by the trip to the moon.

SSS announced that in the next six months, the supership's journey to Mars will be officially launched. Prior to this, SSS has carried out thousands of manned flights to Mars, but none of them succeeded, and more than 5,000 space heroes from various countries died in the dark deep space of Mars.

At first, people gradually became relieved from anxiety and fear, the earth was in disasters again and again, relatives and friends gradually left them, death is terrible, but when they have experienced many life and death separations, they will slowly become relieved, although death is not expected.

A few years ago, Chunyu's adoptive parents were killed in super waves, and the warming of the planet, melting glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic, rising sea levels, and the intensification of the El Niro phenomenon triggered the storm of the century a few years ago.

The superstorm, codenamed "T", is the largest storm recorded by mankind so far, affected by the T-storm, a huge superwave has formed in the northern Pacific Ocean, the wave head is more than 100 meters high, the superstorm and superwave go straight to Japan, the coastal cities of Japan are engulfed by the T-storm and the T-wave, turning into an ocean, and many coastal countries are affected by the T-storm.

Chun was adopted by his adoptive parents from the orphanage, and at that time, Chun Yu's adoptive parents were already in the age of sixties, and there were no children and no daughters under their knees, and Chun Yu was born not long ago. Chun Yu was abandoned by his biological parents when he was born, but Chun Yu didn't complain about anything because of this, he rarely even thought about his biological parents, he felt that even if they met one day in the future, there would be no intersection. In this life, his adoptive parents are his parents, even closer than his biological parents, because the adoptive parents are really good to Chunyu.

Before the death, the old couple knew that they were about to die, so they dialed Chunyu's phone. There was no panic, no fear, very calmly and Chun Yu said their final goodbyes, they said; In this life, they are already very satisfied, let Chunyu take good care of himself.

The old couple left some savings and handed them over to Chunyu earlier, and Chunyu has always kept them and never touched them.

In addition, he also left Chun Yu two houses, one in the county where Chun Yu is located, one in the countryside where the county seat is located, and two acres and three points of land, which are all the wealth left by his adoptive parents during their lifetime.

Chun Yu lost his job after graduating from university because he chose an unpopular major, finance. Under the influence of the global disaster, ninety percent of listed companies have long gone bankrupt, Dow Jones and Nasdaq have long lost their former glory, and the global stock market has been fatally impacted, and the market has been closed for five years, and the doors of exchanges in various countries are still tightly closed. And the magical A shares finally escaped the 3,000-point curse before the market closed, and successfully returned to the starting point around 100 points!

Shareholders have become jokers, and they have said jokes about A-shares in major stock forums.

In the catastrophe of the century, the stocks of most companies evaporated overnight, approaching zero, and everyone was selling stocks and bonds. The run bankrupted most banks, the dollar was long gone, and people believed only in silver and gold, so silver and gold were back in circulation.

The resumption of digital currency and stock market seems to be far away, and it is a great pity to be there!

Twenty years ago, in the AI war, most of the world's wealth was occupied by the AI kingdom, at that time, AI robots cracked almost all the world's cryptocurrencies, human wealth evaporated, and then, the earth frequently disasters, so that the world in the world is anxious, in front of the countries is an existential crisis, a world crisis, so that the once glorious digital currency can not be re-emerged, the world seems to have returned to the silver golden age one hundred and fifty years ago.

The old is declining, and the new is emerging. The Earthstar Crisis bankrupted the former Behemoth, but new Behemoths were born, such as BananaAI, IFI, and SSS. Once-glorious families are in decline, and new chaebols are popping up all over the world.

Not only that, but the means of transportation have also changed, because the rise of sea level has caused low-altitude cities to become water, and the original urban areas have long since ceased to exist, and even some cities have disappeared. People live at relatively high altitudes, and the buildings on both sides of the river have long since been deserted, and most of the rivers have been turned into lakes. Therefore, boats are now a common means of transportation.

Patches of water, cutting off the land between cities, cities with long distances, travel is mainly carried by civilian aircraft developed by several major AI companies, these aircraft do not need runways, but they are also very convenient, but the ticket price is expensive. Every time you take a ride, it's like you've been cut meat.

A few days ago, Chun Yu received an interview notice from SSS company, although Chun Yu is not a computer major, but as a minor, Chun Yu's professional ability is not bad at all.

Before, Chun Yu never thought of going to a technology company such as AI, nor did he ever think that he wanted to be a code farmer, so when submitting his resume, Chun Yu applied for a clerical position in SSS company, Chun Yu's ideal is to be able to fight in the capital market, he is not a person who cherishes money like his life, he just likes the pleasure that numbers bring him.

Chun Yu knows that even if he goes to SSS, he will not stay for long, and he will definitely leave one day in the future, because that is not the life in his heart. What he yearns for is a relaxed working environment and state, and the life he yearns for is a free and uninhibited life.

The storm lasted about a week, and before the super storm made landfall on the mainland, it had been raining for many days in Anhui, and through the windows, I was looking at the streets in the waterlogging, with no pedestrians and occasional vehicles passing through. Because the storm made landfall around the night, at this time, the local gusts of wind were about eight degrees, so there were few people traveling at this time.

I can't do the interview for the time being, and for this week, Chun Yu can only stay at home. Chun Yu is also accustomed to being alone, drinking tea, reading books, quiet and peaceful. Compared with the cruelty of the real world, in the world of books, the mind seems to find real support.

My adoptive father left a lot of books before his death, and the study room was like a small library, and every time Chun Yu came back, most of his time was spent here.

His adoptive father was a Chinese medicine practitioner and an astronomy enthusiast, so most of his books were medical books and astronomy books.

The adoptive parents were very well-bred people, and it can be seen from the shabby paper of these books that none of these books were ornaments, and each book had been turned over many times, and the important contents were crossed out and annotated in some places.

Chun Yu is also very obsessed with Chinese medicine and astronomy, and every time he sees books such as "The Mystery of the Universe" and "A Brief History of Time", he often falls into it and can't extricate himself.

For the distant deep space, Chun Yu often imagines that his own travel is obviously unreal, but he is very eager to one day go out of the earth and embark on a journey to the stars, even if it is on the moon.

Chun Yu often thinks, the dark deep space, the vast universe, the earth and the stars are the only civilization? If this is the case, then human civilization is only accidental, and for the bright sea of stars, how lonely should the earth and humans be?

Beyond the Earth, outside the solar system, or in the magnificent Milky Way, or in the extragalactic galaxy outside the Milky Way, is there a civilization similar to that of human beings on Earth? Even, some civilizations are highly developed, far surpassing the Earth-star civilization. From some historical documents and legends, people have made some bold inferences, but they cannot be completely corroborated, after all, no one has actually experienced it.

However, even if there are some unknown civilizations in the universe, they are too far away to be reached. With the current situation of the Earth Star, human beings may not be able to wait for that day, and the time left for the Earth Star is really running out for mankind!

Thinking about it, Chun Yu fell asleep......
