The Science Fiction World of Xueba

"Hibernator No. 0001, your hibernation at this stage has been terminated. You have hibernated for 25 years, 4 months, 13 days and 22 hours. The remaining hibernation time is 396 years, 6 months, 18 days and 21 hours."

"Hibernation Center of Star Ring City, at 15:17 on June 7, 34, Era of Crisis."

The soft female electronic voice rang in Pang Xuelin's ears. Pang Xuelin opened his eyes, and a beautiful female nurse appeared in front of him.

"Professor Pang, hello, welcome to the new era!"

The female nurse smiled at Pang Xuelin and helped Pang Xuelin remove the medical equipment and electronic equipment connected to him.

Pang Xuelin looked around and found that he was in an independent ward.

Surrounded by light blue walls, there are many green plants in the corners and windowsills, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Compared with the sticky feeling of hibernation liquid on his body and the stagnant feeling of rust in his brain when he hibernated for the first time, his body is refreshed now, as if he had slept, and there is no Too much discomfort.

"Hello!"

Pang Xuelin opened his mouth and said, and found that he felt fine except for a little weakness all over his body.

"Professor Pang, wait a moment, Ms. Cheng Xin is waiting for you outside the ward."

Pang Xuelin nodded, and the nurse was busy for another five minutes before completing the dismantling of all medical equipment and electronic equipment.

Then, she pushed the cart out of the ward.

Not long after, Cheng Xin pushed the door in from outside the ward with a bag of clothes.

For hibernators, the hibernation process is like sleeping.

Therefore, upon waking up again, Pang Xuelin didn't feel much strangeness towards Cheng Xin.

"Professor Pang."

Cheng Xin said with a smile on her face, but Pang Xuelin felt a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Cheng Xin, where's Wade?"

Cheng Xin said, "Wade is in the combat center now,

He asked me to wait for you to wake up, first take you to visit Star Ring City, understand the global situation, and then go to meet him! "

"Operation center?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback.

Cheng Xin said: "Professor Pang, I will explain to you later, you should change your clothes first, the current global situation is a bit complicated."

Pang Xuelin nodded, took the clothes from Cheng Xin, and went to the bathroom to change.

Coming out of the hibernation center, there was no sign of any car at the door, and instead there were two coaxial twin-rotor helicopters that Pang Xuelin had never seen before.

Pang Xuelin noticed that the top rotor of the helicopter does not have a complicated mechanical structure, and the two rotors extend outward from the shaft, which looks delicate and small.

Accompanied by Cheng Xin, Pang Xuelin boarded a helicopter.

Soon, the helicopter started, the engine made a beeping sound, and the rotors spun at high speed.

"This should be a pure electric helicopter."

Pang Xuelin thought to himself.

Through the helicopter, Pang Xuelin began to overlook the entire Star Ring City.

Compared to twenty-five years ago, the area of ​​Star Ring City has expanded by more than ten times. The city extends from the foot of Mount Asur to the foot of Mount Negra in the north, occupying the plain in the southeast of the entire island.

Between the tall buildings, Pang Xuelin also noticed that there were many small rotorcraft shuttling among them.

Several of them are actually single-person rotors, and the overall layout is similar to the small UAVs used for aerial photography in the real world. They adopt a four-axis arrangement, and people hang under the rotors.

Clearly, these are new-age vehicles.

But the most eye-catching thing in the whole city is not the modern buildings or the means of transportation, but an ultra-long track that stretches from the coastline to the distance, and then follows the curve of the volcano all the way up.

The width of the track is close to 100 meters, as if a giant dragon is lying on the volcano.

Cheng Xin noticed Pang Xuelin's gaze and explained, "Professor Pang, this is the electromagnetic orbital space launch system with a total length of more than 25 kilometers. The space plane launched into low-Earth orbit."

Then Cheng Xin pointed to a building near the coastline and said, "There is a nuclear fusion power plant, and it is currently the only nuclear fusion power plant in the world. The main power of the system comes from this power plant."

Pang Xuelin nodded and thoughtfully said, "Tell me about the global situation."

Cheng Xin thought for a while, then took out a piece of information from the file bag beside her and said, "This is what happened in the past 25 years that I sorted out in the past two days, you should read it first, otherwise you won't be able to say no for a while. clear."

Pang Xuelin took the file and flipped through it, flicking through it.

...

In the 10th year of the crisis era, the Trisolaran fleet passed through the second interstellar dust cloud and was observed by the Hubble II space telescope.

At the same time, Hubble II discovered that the Trisolaran fleet launched a probe to the earth, and the probe quickly accelerated to 15% of the speed of light. If the deceleration time is counted, scientists estimate that the Trisolaran probe will reach the earth within 200 years.

In the 12th year of the Era of Crisis, Xinghuancheng invented the graphene lithium-air battery, triggering an energy revolution. By controlling the large-area graphene film production process, Vader controls the global production of graphene lithium-air batteries, and Xinghuan City earns more than 100 billion U.S. dollars from it every year.

In the 13th year of the Crisis Era, the third-generation International Space Station that can accommodate thousands of people was built, and the space elevator project entered the preparation period.

In the 14th year of the crisis era, the second generation of carbon nanotube chips matured, and carbon-based chips began to completely replace silicon-based chips.

In the 15th year of the Era of Crisis, Hines the Wallfacer was awakened. His wife Keiko Yamagiri developed a supercomputer that can holographically simulate human brain imaging. A certain proposition is etched into a person's brain to make him believe it.

Hines used himself as an experimental guinea pig, engraving the false proposition "water is poisonous" in his mind.

As a result, Hines did not touch a drop of water for several months and could only continue his life through infusion.

It was not until various psychological hints and treatments that Hines re-accepted the idea that water is harmless.

In the same year, the PDC held a hearing and agreed to open belief centers in various countries, and people can voluntarily engrave the belief of "humanity must win" in the belief centers.

In the 16th year of the Era of Crisis, Hines hibernated again and decided to go straight to the end.

In the 18th year of the Era of Crisis, Rey Diaz, the Wallfacer, woke up. In the same year, humans successfully tested a star-level nuclear bomb on Mercury, and Rey Diaz became a guest of the leaders of various countries.

In the same year, Rey Diaz decided to promote the manufacturing of stellar-class hydrogen bombs on a large scale. Regarding the rumors circulating on the Internet that Mercury will be slowed down by stellar-class hydrogen bombs, causing it to crash into the sun, turning the solar system into a purgatory that is more terrifying than the Trisolaran system. , So as to prevent the rumor that the Trisolarans invaded, Rey Diaz denied it.

The following year, Rey Diaz went into hibernation and decided to wake up fifty years later.

In the 19th year of the Era of Crisis, Taylor, the Wallfacer, woke up and proposed a plan to establish a defense circle in the asteroid belt. The plan pointed out that if the future human fleet fails to defend the solar system, it can use the complex space environment of the asteroid belt to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Trisolaran civilization.

At the same time, Taylor proposed the Europa expedition plan and suggested that humans establish an early warning system for the solar system.

In the 20th year of the Crisis Era, Taylor chose to hibernate again and decided to wake up after eighty years.

In the 22nd year of the Crisis Era, after ten years of development, the Star Ring Institute for Advanced Study has become the world's largest basic scientific research center. According to Pang Xuelin's request, Vader invested most of the income obtained from the graphene lithium-air battery into the Star Ring Advanced Research Institute. to the courtyard.

In the 25th year of the Crisis Era, the Thought Seal was ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice, and the Faith Center was closed.

In the 28th year of the Era of Crisis, due to the abnormal climate caused by global warming, natural disasters occurred frequently all over the world that year, unprecedented droughts occurred in North America and South America, and the largest floods in history occurred in Asian countries, which triggered the first food crisis. Countries have successively introduced the "Food Ration Act" to control food distribution on a large scale.

In the 30th year of the Crisis Era, Africa experienced the largest drought in history, triggering an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.

Millions of people died of starvation.

In the same year, the first nuclear fusion power plant in human history was secretly completed in Xinghuan City.

In the 31st year of the Crisis Era, with the extreme climate and environmental deterioration, the arable land has shrunk in a large area, and the second food crisis broke out.

In September, the PDC passed a bill to stop appropriating funds to Star Ring City.

In the same year, the fourth India-Pakistan war broke out, and all countries ignored it. The peace bill introduced by the PDC has almost become a decoration.

In the 32nd year of Crisis Era, there was another large-scale drought in the central United States, and hungry victims flooded into the big cities on the east and west coasts one after another. Washington and western states blamed each other.

In September of the same year, California declared independence.

In the following month, states on the west coast of the United States declared their independence one after another and refused to accept the victims of the disaster.

In December, the American Civil War broke out, known as the East-West War in history. The western states divided four of the twelve aircraft carrier battle groups in the United States, and the Washington government obtained eight of them. However, the civil war between the two sides was mainly confined to the North American continent.

In the 33rd year of the Crisis Era, Russia took advantage of the American Civil War and sent troops to Western Europe. The United Nations and the PDC were on the verge of disintegration.

In September of the same year, the Electromagnetic Orbital Space Launch System was completed in Star Ring City, and Star Ring City independently launched a space fighter weighing one thousand tons.

It wasn't until this time that countries discovered that Star Ring City, which has been making a fortune silently for more than 20 years, has mastered nuclear fusion technology and reduced the cost of spaceflight by more than ten times.

Various countries have successively sent personnel to negotiate with Halo City, hoping to reach an agreement with Halo City on the issue of technology transfer, but nothing has been achieved.

In February 34 of the Era of Crisis, the Western United States government dispatched aircraft carrier battle groups USS Ronald Reagan and USS George Washington to strategically deter Halo City.

In March, the Washington government of the United States dispatched the Ford and Stennis aircraft carrier battle groups to form an aircraft carrier group with the British aircraft carrier HMS Queen and the French Charles de Gaulle to deter the ocean near the Galapagos Islands.

At the same time, four aircraft carrier battle groups from China and Russia also arrived near the archipelago. Because China has always maintained a good relationship with Star Ring City, any attack on Star Ring City is equivalent to declaring war on China.

In April, Xinghuancheng announced that it had completed the assembly of the space battleship Oasis, and started firing live ammunition.

In less than five minutes, the Oasis launched a strike on an uninhabited island near Hawaii, USA with an electromagnetic railgun in space a thousand kilometers away from the earth.

In just five minutes, a solid alloy shell with a diameter the size of a basketball razed this volcanic island with an area of ​​nearly 0.5 square kilometers to the ground.

In the same month, the Western United States government announced that if the Oasis dared to attack the continental United States, it would use a star-level hydrogen bomb to destroy Halo City.

Star Ring City announced that any military aircraft or warships of other countries entering within 200 nautical miles of the Galapagos Islands will be regarded as a provocation to Star Ring City.

On the same day, Xinghuan City used a laser cannon erected on Santa Cruz Island to shoot down a US Navy F35 fighter jet that slightly crossed the line 200 nautical miles away.

Aircraft carriers and aircraft from various countries no longer dare to go one step further.

At present, Xinghuan City has entered a state of confrontation with other countries, and the relevant sea and airspace has been completely blocked. However, since Xinghuan City has achieved food self-sufficiency through agricultural factories, countries have no way to take Xinghuan City in a short time.

A week ago, the Chinese government proposed that it hoped that Pang Xuelin, the founder of Awakening Star Ring City, the Wallfacer, and the founder of the Wallface Project, would resolve the current stalemate through him.

After much consideration, Vader agreed to the request.
