Epoch of Twilight

The torrential rain lasted for more than two months before it gradually subsided. Most of the northern hemisphere was sunny after the rain.

The ice melted, the flood waters receded, and vegetation began to grow.

I have to mention the tenacious vitality of plants.

Even if they have been frozen for decades, their vitality has not been wiped out. Even if the branches have been completely necrotic, the deep roots still maintain vitality. As soon as the ice layer melts, countless plants and trees will revive from the corpses and bathe in the sunshine. Down, competing to grow, exudes vigorous vitality.

The earth was quickly dyed green. It was hard to believe that two months ago, this place was still a polar-like world of ice and snow.

As the flood on the ground recedes, a planned magnificent city is about to rise from the ruins of Hope City. It is hundreds of times larger than the original Hope City, and within tens of thousands of square kilometers, it has turned into a huge city. construction site.

Countless huge cargo spaceships, like mountains, connect the miniature universe in space and the logistics channel of New Hope City, transporting the materials scavenged from the Barnard galaxy to New Hope City, and building them into buildings. There are factories.

Before the war with the Bossians, human beings were pessimistic about the war. Of course, the word "pessimistic" might not be accurate, but the uncertainty of the war situation was a common thought at that time.

The so-called defeat before thinking about victory, let alone a life-and-death war between races.

Needless to say, human beings win, everyone is happy, but if they fail, they must leave a way out, and retreating into the miniature universe is the last way out. Even if the Boxing people finally occupy the Barnard star system and block it heavily, as long as they withdraw into the miniature universe, Humanity still has enough resources to cover its head for development.

According to this guideline, in the state of wartime, human beings destructively mine the fourth planet, part of the resources are used for productivity expansion and armament manufacturing, and more resources are stored and sent to the micro universe.

Before the start of the expedition, the reserves of human resources had reached the consumption required to maintain the current productivity for more than a hundred years, and before the entire migration to the earth, the reserves of human beings could already maintain the development of the current human productivity for a thousand years.

Of course, this is an ideal situation where productivity does not continue to explode. At that time, if it lasts for 50 or 60 years, these reserved resources will probably be exhausted.

Even so, this is still a huge amount of wealth. The total mass of stored materials exceeds the mass of a moon, and the movement of each element is calculated in trillions of tons. Even precious heavy metals such as gold have dozens of One trillion tons is the sum of gold mined by human beings since the beginning of history, and it is hundreds of millions times more.

The total mass of the solar system is dominated by gaseous planets, and the rocky resources that are easy to mine are not abundant. The rocky planets are divided into Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury in order of size.

The largest of them is the earth, but the mass of the earth is only one-third of the fourth planet in the Barnard galaxy, and even all the rocky planets in the solar system are not as good as a fourth planet.

As the home planet of human beings, it is impossible for human beings to directly extract materials from the ground like the destructive mining of planet No. 4, and Mars, the twin brother of the earth, has long been scheduled to be the second planet to live in, even Venus and Mercury, too. Its back-up terraformed habitable planets.

The human population has begun to explode, not only two to three million clones are produced in the laboratory every year, a new generation of human beings combine with each other, and the imminent baby boom is also beginning to take shape.

So far, the human population is close to 30 million. It is negatively estimated that the number of human beings will reach 500 million in a hundred years. After two hundred years, the earth may be overcrowded. Two hundred years is not enough for a civilization. Not long, even for new humans, it is only two-thirds of the lifespan.

It can be said that every rocky planet in the solar system is extremely precious, and it is the food for the development and expansion of human civilization.

Fortunately, human beings have long been separated from becoming an interstellar civilization that can cross the parent galaxy. The curvature technology allows humans to have sufficient capabilities to explore the surrounding star fields and grab resources, so as to make up for the lack of the parent galaxy.

...

At this moment, in Jupiter, a battle is about to break out.

Luo Yuan stood in space and looked at Jupiter not far away. This is a giant planet that blows endless storms all year round. Its mass is close to the critical point of a star. Several huge vortices in the entire atmosphere collide violently with each other. Friction, a strong energy reaction erupted.

Pulse radiation, lightning, strong electromagnetism, as well as storms and high temperatures that can tear people into powder, make this place like hell, no life can survive here.

Of course, some unbelievable creatures have to be removed from it.

For example, Luo Yuan, or space behemoths.

At this time, Luo Yuan was emitting brilliance, and his powerful perception enveloped the entire giant Jupiter.

In the liquid hydrogen layer at a depth of tens of thousands of kilometers inside Jupiter, a giant beast is swimming deep into the ground in extreme anxiety.

This is a huge mutant beast, its body shape is like a huge loach with a length of three kilometers, its whole body is smooth, with blue light, it is quite eye-catching in the dark liquid hydrogen layer.

Perhaps because of living in the dark for a long time, its eyes have degenerated, its head is pointed and thin, and its mouth does not have any teeth.

The terrifying pressure in liquid hydrogen, which is enough to crush steel, does not seem to exist at all. Here, it is completely like being in water, at an astonishing speed of hundreds of meters per second, and is constantly going crazy to the depths of Jupiter sneaked in, trying to find that glimmer of life.

It's just that it's doomed to be futile.

The next moment, a terrifying will descended on it. Its body froze slightly, and then its whole body seemed to light up like a star. It struggled fiercely, and its huge body, which was several kilometers long, turned this piece of high-pressure liquid hydrogen into nothingness. The ocean churned into a pot of boiling water.

Its struggle seems to be quite effective. As a terrifying creature that can survive in the depths of Jupiter, its strength is extremely astonishing. It seems that the shackles of its will are beginning to loosen. This space creature began to struggle more frantically. It let out a silent roar, The whole body is covered with terrifying spikes, and the body that looked smooth before, now looks extremely ferocious.

However, it didn't notice at all that the space of hundreds of kilometers around it had been quietly distorted, and in just a second, a closed and independent space had been completely formed, breaking away from this universe. The surrounding liquid hydrogen instantly gathered to fill the gap that was missing in this space.

The next moment, this miniature universe wrapped the giant space beast, flew up quickly, and soon left the liquid hydrogen layer and passed through the atmosphere of Jupiter. During the flight, it shrunk and became smaller and smaller, and reached Luo Yuan's hand At that time, it has become only the size of a palm.

In this miniature universe filled with light blue liquid hydrogen, a creature the size of a needle tip is happily shuttling through it.

Luo Yuan took a look, his fingers blurred for a moment, his fingers passed through this miniature universe, passed through the body of this creature, and when they solidified again, a radiant energy crystal nucleus appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the space creature quickly collapsed into a ball, trembling all over, dying, no longer alive and kicking like before.

Luo Yuan inspected it carefully and found that it showed no signs of dying, a smile appeared on his face. Then he re-condensed a space ball with the surrounding matter, compressed the space inside, and quickly flew towards the earth.
