Time flew by quickly.
Three years passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past three years, Jiang Chen, who had been taking the DNA telomere extension serum, had almost no changes to his body. If it weren't for his documents, just by looking at his young face, no one would even know that he was almost thirty years old.
Age was something that didn't mean much to him, his family, his lover, and his lover. Even Liu Yao, who he only met a few times, and the little maid Qian Xia in Yoto, received a gift marked as "beauty medicine".
It was probably last year when Liu Yao came to Coro Island to film and had a rendezvous with Jiang Chen that she asked him this question. What was that bottle of beauty medicine? However, Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't answer her question. He just told her to take it regularly as it was good for her body.
It wasn't that he didn't believe that Liu Yao wouldn't keep the secret for him, but he didn't want her to bear the burden that she didn't need to bear.
He was a nostalgic person.
Even if he told her from the beginning that he wouldn't give her any status, he still couldn't watch her grow old alone and leave him in silence.
A lot happened in the past three years.
Whether it was for him, for Xin, or for the world …
There was nothing to say about his own affairs.
In addition to the mountains of documents, the rare leisurely and cozy daily life seemed too dull in the eyes of others. Only Jiang Chen himself, who was in it, could appreciate the beauty of it.
Compared to Jiang Chen who didn't change much, the changes in Xin were rapid.
After joining the world dollar currency system, the fast-growing economy of Xin didn't experience too much fluctuation and smoothly completed the transition from "Xin New Dollar" to "World Dollar". The dividends brought by the space resource development boom caused international capital to continue to pour into these small islands in the Western Pacific.
The people were happy, and the society was naturally stable. From Coro Island to Ange Island, almost every year, there was a new look.
A backpacker who often visited Xin even wrote on his blog that he would travel to this city every year because every time he saw the city, it would bring him a completely different sense of novelty. If he didn't use navigation, no matter how many times he came, he would get lost in the city.
Not many people remembered what Coro City was like ten years ago. Nowadays, there were many high-rise buildings, and maglev cars shuttled back and forth, forming an endless river in the air, from one end of the city to the other end of the Undersea Tunnel.
Then the world outside Xin also underwent earth-shattering changes.
The first was the Trans-Bering Strait Tunnel. The final phase of the project was finally completed, and Russia and the United States jointly announced the completion of the project. The tunnel would be divided into two levels, the upper level for cars and the lower level for high-speed rail. From now on, taking a high-speed train from New York to Paris or driving a car around the world would no longer be an illusory dream.
Trump, who had just attended the completion ceremony, returned to the Capital without stopping to prepare for the upcoming election. However, considering that after joining the world, the UA economy recovered quickly after the war, and the unemployment rate dropped, the possibility of him seeking re-election was still quite high.
Because of the effect of the DNA telomere lengthening agent, the old man didn't look like he was in his seventies at all. He ran around with the same vigor as a young man, mobilizing voters to vote for him.
Loki, on the other hand, was pushed to the position of President of the World Reserve. In the past three years, he had demonstrated his strength in the financial field. He expanded the number of countries that joined the World Reserve from the initial twelve to the current thirty-seven, covering almost the entire Pacific Rim, as well as countries in Australia and South Asia.
The snowball effect had begun to show.
Countries that joined the World Reserve currency system, backed by Xin, enjoyed advantages in industrial raw materials and electricity costs that other countries simply could not imagine. With the continuous expansion of the world yuan system, as long as the economy within the system did not have any problems, more and more economies would choose to surrender to this system.
After the Bressenton system, a stronger and more unified currency was gradually dominating the global financial market.
In terms of economy, the superiority of the world yuan system had been demonstrated. In terms of industry, the rise of the space industry was not to be outdone.
In addition to Xin, the aerospace industry of several major member states had gradually approached the figure of 10% of the country's total output. As for Xin, if Tiangong City was included in the legal territory of Xin, then Xin's steel production was already firmly ranked first in the world.
This was not entirely a gap in production capacity, but more of a cost advantage. First of all, the two shipyards under the jurisdiction of Future Heavy Industries had completed the relocation from Celestial City to the Mars synchronous orbit and were ready to build more battleships for the Earth Defense Alliance. Secondly, Gorowin borrowed 50 billion World Dollars from Future Bank to build their foothold on Mars.
The demand for hundreds of millions of tons of steel allowed steel plants in Tiangong City to sprout like bamboo shoots after a rain. In terms of industrial production capacity alone, Xin was already ranked first in the world with only hundreds of square kilometers of land.
In the field of culture, the activities of the globalists continued. Except for the gradual increase in the number of supporters, there was nothing remarkable. One day in the future, these voices would play a role, but now it was still too weak.
Putting aside the previous achievements, what made Jiang Chen most happy or gratified was the achievements of Future Group in the field of science and technology.
With the help of Gorowin, the Special Projects Institute and the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute in the apocalypse jointly made major technological breakthroughs in the research of warp engine technology.
Speaking of warp engine, Jiang Lin, the director of the Aerospace Technology Research Institute appointed by Jiang Chen, had to be mentioned. Many years ago, at the behest of Jiang Chen, he carried out in-depth research on warp engine technology. Today, Future Group was able to make a breakthrough in warp engine technology, at least one-third of the credit goes to him.
With the completion of the first-generation warp engine, three Envoy-class starships equipped with new engines were launched and headed to the Kuiper Belt to replace SS Origin, which had not returned home for many years. When SS Origin completed the warp engine, the number of battleships in the Earth Fleet could increase to four.
Future Heavy Industries did not stop there. After completing the research on the warp engine, Future Heavy Industries immediately began to design a five-million-ton starship as the flagship of the Earth Fleet. The five-million-ton starship was temporarily named the "Constitution" class. The production base for this starship had long been transferred from Celestial City to the Mars synchronous orbit.
Only the steel reserves on Mars were enough to support the magnificent fleet plan of the Defense Alliance.
On the New Year's Eve of 2024, the last day of the year, Jiang Chen was not in the modern world. Instead, he took Sun Jiao, Xiaorou, and Ayesha to the Sixth Street in the apocalypse.
For the modern world, this year's New Year's Day was no different from previous years.
But for the apocalypse, tonight was an extraordinary night.
Because it was the New Year's Eve of 2199, and it was also the tenth year since Jiang Chen first came to this world.
After tonight, it would be the first year of the 23rd century – 2200.
