As the simulated light system in the Space City began to turn brighter, a new day had arrived.
After Cui Weichuan had his breakfast, he said goodbye to his wife and hurried to the magnetic molding laboratory.
After more than ten years of hard work and occasional inspiration, he had finally been promoted from an assistant engineer to a junior engineer. Not only did his salary and benefits increase a lot, but his status had also entered the upper class.
Of course, he had the right to buy a flying shuttle. However, it was expensive and he was reluctant to spend it as he had always been frugal. Secondly, the laboratory was not far from his house and it was only a ten-minute walk away.
The Space City was divided into the gravitational zone and the gravity-free zone. Most of the experimental institutions were concentrated in the former. After all, unless it was necessary for experiments, no one liked to stay in the gravity-free zone.
As for the gravity-free zone, it was basically a non-human factory.
The pedestrian street was crowded and it was unusually noisy.
The Space City was undoubtedly a highly developed and high-tech city.
The carbon fiber dome that was hundreds of meters tall simulated the blue sky and white clouds and the fresh breeze generated by the simulated air flow made people feel like they were in a city on Earth. They did not feel pressured or cramped at all.
With the limitless supply of resources, even the conservative government had extravagantly used a portion of its talents and resources to design the entire city like a sci-fi.
What was the definition of sci-fi? Some people would say that it was high and strange!
There were skyscrapers that reached the clouds and strange buildings with strange shapes.
However, in the Space City, there were no such skyscrapers or strange buildings. The most common buildings were three or four stories and the tallest one was no more than six stories.
However, the devil was in the details. Aside from the technical content of the construction materials, it was a completely high-tech city. There was an efficient and intelligent logistics system, a climate adjustment system that changed throughout the year, a dome that naturally simulated sunlight, a vacuum train, and an aerial highway …
Its high-tech was reflected in all aspects. In the first half of the year, even Cui Weichuan, who was working in the scientific research system, found it difficult to adapt to it, let alone the ordinary people. After all, the technology was basically used for military purposes and only a few were used for civilian purposes.
As soon as the city appeared in front of people, they felt like they were not in the right place.
To most of the ordinary people, they did not know much about the development of human technology and their education level was limited. Many of them were still thinking about the time before they left Earth.
However, one day, they suddenly realized that human technology had become so advanced in just ten years. Many of them could not believe it.
…
The three-dimensional screen at the crossroad was playing an old song as usual. Cui Weichuan did not pay any attention to it and walked forward quickly.
After the war, mankind was a cultural desert. Even the songs and movies were limited legacies left behind by the Reconstruction Area. Hundreds of songs and dozens of movies had been watched over and over again for more than a decade. He was sick of watching them, and it made him nauseous.
Suddenly, Cui Weichuan realized that the crowd had stopped moving!
"What's going on?" Puzzled, he looked at the crowd and found that everyone was looking up at the 3D screen.
The singing had stopped at some point, and a beautiful host appeared on the screen.
"… Now we have an emergency broadcast on television!" Then, the image changed and Vice Mayor Bi appeared on the screen. His expression was unusually grave. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said,
"Dear citizens, I am Deputy Mayor Bi Jianping. I am now representing Mayor Luo to announce an important decision." Bi Jianping was careful to use words that represented Luo Yuan. After all, even if Luo Yuan did not care, he could easily become a target.
"The year 2210 is a day that will be remembered by all of mankind. The Glassians released the antidote virus that year, causing a terrible disaster to mankind …"
Cui Weichuan and the rest of the people who were listening could not help but feel sad and their expression gradually became serious.
"In the Glassians' deliberate plan to destroy the civilization, billions of humans were indirectly or directly killed. After the great destruction, the remaining humans who were struggling to survive turned into ashes.
Among them, there were newborn babies!
There were frail women!
There were dying old people!
There were our parents, our relatives, and our friends!
…
Perhaps we are lucky because we are still alive.
We escaped, we retreated and finally hid here. This is a dying galaxy. We struggled to survive, hoping for a chance of survival. However, the Glassians did not let us go because our existence is the original sin. It is a great sin. "
"Just yesterday afternoon, the Sky Eye system in space detected their traces. They are coming towards us, ready to destroy us.
Three years, we still have three years left.
This will be a war that will not end until one side is completely annihilated, until the planet is destroyed. There will be no compromise and no surrender. Whether it is the soldiers or the people, we will live and die together.
Now, on behalf of Mayor Luo, I officially announce that mankind has officially entered a state of war. "
…
Cui Weichuan and the rest of the people unknowingly clenched their fists and their eyes were filled with anger.
Hatred was easy to forget. Most of the people had already forgotten about the Glassians or subconsciously did not think about it. However, no one would admit that they were born lowly and no one wanted to be killed by the Glassians like a bug.
Within a day, the smell of war filled every corner of the city. The atmosphere was depressing and shrouded the entire Space City.
On this day, many people were filled with anger!
On this day, many people were anxious!
On this day, many people were filled with the desire to fight!
…
A few days later, the recruitment began.
The initial number of soldiers had reached 100,000. Apart from a small number of space soldiers, mankind did not have an organized army. Everything needed to be trained again.
Other than that, a revised and more aggressive space defense plan was officially implemented.
It was a huge project. In the plan, the fourth planet would be the center of defense. Within a radius of one light day, there would be a complete set of weapon systems including tens of thousands of gamma ray cannons, hundreds of thousands of lasers and electromagnetic missiles.
With the development of human technology, industrial productivity was less dependent on the number of workers. With the mastery of unmanned factory technology and artificial intelligence, most of the industrial production could be achieved without the need for a single person to operate.
As long as there was an endless supply of resources, the productivity could be replicated and expanded endlessly.
…
Luo Yuan did not pay much attention to the war preparations of mankind. The spacious mansion seemed to be isolated from the outside world. The atmosphere of war had disappeared when it reached here.
Luo Yuan held the Zhanmadao carefully in his hand, afraid that he would break it if he was not careful.
The sharp edge of the Zhanmadao had an obvious curved edge. It was a chip caused by him subconsciously touching it.
The originally hard material was now as fragile as an ordinary material to Luo Yuan. Even if the Zhanmadao had a space fluctuation, it could not cut through his skin.
After all, the energy of the space fluctuation was too weak. It was so weak that even a critical material with a compression ratio of 1,000 could absorb its energy perfectly.
This old friend of his who had been with him for more than 10 years could no longer keep up with his pace.
