Epoch of Twilight

In 2175, a kindergarten in Hope City on Earth.

"Now, please turn to the fourteenth page of the textbook. Today we are going to tell the story of our great leader Chairman Luo when he was a child." In the bright classroom, a female kindergarten teacher recited affectionately:

"Chairman Luo's family was poor, and he was not afraid of hardships since he was a child. He helped clean up every day, and when his mother was cooking, he studied hard beside her.

One day, a typhoon blew outside, the windows were creaked by the wind, and the rain came in.

He hurriedly went to close the window. After closing the window, he found a spider web outside, which was blown to pieces by the wind. A spider kept weaving the web in the strong wind, but because the wind was too strong, every time it was blown away by the wind, But after the spider ran back along the spider silk, it still weaved a web desperately.

He looked at it and thought to himself: "Even a spider is so persevering and indomitable. As a human being, can we not be as good as a little spider?

When Chairman Luo was young, he was not afraid of hard work, persevering, and courageous, so he made great contributions to mankind when he grew up. "

The following group of toddlers sat in a row, their little faces full of seriousness.

…………

"What a mess, is this the current textbook?"

In the holographic image in front of him, the light and shadow are distorted, and only a hazy and radiant figure can be seen appearing and disappearing in the screen, and the signal seems to be disconnected at any time.

In Office No. 1, a middle-aged man was sweating profusely with a wry smile on his face.

With the death of Bi Jianping's older generation of high-level officials, Luo Yuan also completely retired behind the scenes, and the political rotation gradually returned to normal. Now this is the fifth generation leader.

But he, who has always been known for his majesty and toughness, is trembling at this time.

"This... this is the love that all human beings have for you from the heart, and it is the evaluation of you by history. After all, without you, and without the current human beings, your contribution will never be erased."

"These are meaningless to me!" The light and shadow seemed to shake his head: "Forget it, I won't affect the governance, let it take its course."

As soon as the voice fell, the holographic image was instantly closed. The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off his sweat. His surname is also Luo, and his first name is Shengwei. Speaking of which, this is his grandfather. This prominent family background has given him great support. Political capital and unparalleled influence.

But he only saw this grandfather in the virtual world when he was a child, and after his grandma passed away, he never saw it with his own eyes again.

Now only majesty remains in his impression.

Every time he faces this existence, he feels a lot of pressure. Not everyone can bear the coercion of a suspected god. Even through the holographic image, the terrible oppressive feeling makes his heart almost stagnate. With a big heart, it is estimated that he can't even stand still.

It took a long time before he recovered and continued to process the documents.

Humanity is not in a good state today, and the cloud of war hangs over the entire solar system. Although negotiations and exchanges with the Bayan civilization have been going on, in fact, the temptations of both sides have never stopped. In the past 20 years, humans and the Baya civilization have dispatched hundreds of reconnaissance spacecraft to collect information on each other's civilization.

The arms race between the two sides has intensified up to now, and the military power has doubled every few years. Once human beings show weakness or weakness, war will be inevitable.

Human mining stars have grown from two to fifteen.

Boxing's semi-finished Dyson sphere was also reused after a simple modification.

At the same time, there are three Dyson spheres, and the nearby star system is under intense construction.

In fact, the geographical location of the solar system is not good. The nearby star systems are either binary or triple, and the internal gravitational disorder not only requires extremely high materials for the Dyson sphere, but also makes its construction hundreds of times more difficult than the sun. Progress is rather slow.

It is estimated that it will take another 20 to 30 years until it is fully built.

But what human beings lack is precisely time. Up to now, the energy produced by human beings every year is gradually not enough for use. In peacetime, it is naturally quite ample. Once a full-scale war enters, it will take less than a year or two to use up all the accumulated antimatter. , This is just a passive defensive battle, not an expedition that travels thousands of light years.

In order to increase antimatter reserves, even the nuclear fusion power furnaces that humans have gradually eliminated have begun to be built on a large scale, using the helium-hydrogen gas collected by Jupiter to produce antimatter through fusion energy, but this is just a drop in the bucket, better than nothing.

There are 300,000 curvature battleships, five planetary fortresses, and six semi-powered intelligent space defense systems that surround the solar system like asteroid belts. The outermost defense diameter even reaches fifty light days.

Especially the latter, whose total mass is equivalent to the defense system of three Barnard 4 planets, is completely an energy-swallowing behemoth.

Human beings are now like a hedgehog with teeth and claws but a strong outside, and once a war breaks out, it will only have the power of three axes.

At this time, his personal smart terminal suddenly issued a call request. He glanced at it and saw that the call was from the Supreme Scientific Committee. He put down the file and immediately chose to connect.

Regarding personal smart terminals, human beings have developed more than ten generations, from the initial eye chip to the polymer nanometer quantum computer that has been integrated into all parts of the body and synchronously links all nerve signals and even memory.

At the time of adulthood, hundreds of millions of polymer nanometer quantum computers in the form of micro-robots will be injected into each human body.

It is not only the entrance of communication and virtual world, but also the terminal of personal medicine. Even a fatal injury like a broken heart, which is fatal to humans before the end of the world, can be quickly repaired by nano-scale micro-robots.

So much so that ordinary medical services have long since been eliminated in human society.

...

"What, white dwarf matter has been synthesized under normal conditions!" After listening for a while, Luo Shengwei was a little surprised.

I can't blame him for being surprised. Although he is in politics, sitting in this position, it is impossible to have a basic understanding of science. White dwarf matter seems to be a further development of critical matter, but it is actually two completely different concepts.

If the critical matter only regulates the electromagnetic force inside and outside the atom, then the white dwarf matter already involves two short-range forces, the strong interaction force and the weak interaction force of the nucleus.

In fact, with the scientific and technological strength of human beings, it is not difficult to manufacture white dwarf matter. As long as super high pressure is applied, it can be finally formed. As early as a hundred years ago, human atomic physics laboratories successfully compressed ten gold atoms. into the state of white dwarf matter.

The difficulty is that it exists under normal conditions, because white dwarfs cannot exist in a normal environment like critical matter. Once the high pressure disappears, the entire white dwarf matter will expand tens of millions of times like a nuclear bomb.

"Unless—human beings can already regulate short-range forces."

Thinking of this possibility, he asked immediately, and finally got confirmation.

He hung up the phone, feeling faintly excited, thought for a while, quickly linked to the academic database, and soon found the sensational physics paper more than ten years ago: "Unified Field Theory!"
