The story of civilization was about the post-future era. When China's economic and military power was about to surpass that of the United States, some forces in the world launched a series of terrorist attacks on the mainland of China. The purpose was to prevent China from further development and use this to strike China back into a chaotic state of weak government, thereby reducing China's influence on the world.
The story took place on Chinese New Year's Eve, a traditional festival in China. After a huge explosion, the Three Gorge Dam collapsed and poisonous substances were thrown into all the major rivers and lakes in China, polluting almost all the water sources. As a result, the land of China was polluted on a large scale, and the urban water supply was in a serious crisis. Many people were forced to become refugees, and the economy, finance, and trade all collapsed.
The series of reforms the Chinese government made in the face of such a catastrophic crisis and some of the actions of the war allowed some countries in the world to seize the opportunity to attack China. Through the United Nations, the Chinese government was removed from its permanent status as a member of the United Nations and the most severe punishment was imposed on the Chinese mainland.
At the same time, due to the huge population of China becoming refugees, it also caused serious impacts and wars to the surrounding countries, triggering worldwide anti-Chinese behavior, causing the Chinese people to live in deeper suffering.
At the same time, a mysterious organization called the "Chinese Alliance" provided unprecedented information support to the Chinese and Chinese refugees, allowing the Chinese to establish an indestructible base in the global anti-Chinese struggle. Of course, the Chinese Alliance was naturally called a terrorist organization by almost all countries in the world. However, in the hearts of the Chinese refugees, the Chinese Alliance was like a god.
In the short span of a year after the catastrophe of China, the world had also undergone tremendous changes. Southeast Asia was in turmoil, and the Muslim countries formed a super alliance, threatening their ancient enemies and China. North Korea and Han unified into one country, and because of China's national policy, they made territorial demands on China. The Omi countries acted as bystanders and profited from the conflict.
The Chinese government continued to develop their unimaginable projects with an attitude of indifference towards foreign affairs. They built a huge lunar base at an unprecedented speed and launched a large amount of space junk into Earth's space through the independence of the lunar base. They completely blocked the outer space of Earth. The nuclear war on Earth was finally resolved and the world entered a long-term cold peace.
After more than ten years of conventional warfare, the humans on Earth had undergone a huge change in territory. Although the hostile state still existed, it could be considered to have entered a new period of peace.
However, there was a problem with the independent base country on the moon. The bacteria in the base mutated, causing 99% of the people on the base to die. However, the highly artificial intelligence programmed factory on the moon continued to produce all the materials needed by the base and automatically strengthened the defense of the lunar base.
Because the outer space of Earth was filled with space junk, the cost of space activities on Earth was extremely high. Even if the launch was successful, it would be difficult to escape the electromagnetic shells from the lunar automatic defense system.
Earth's civilization began a decades-long closed period (because they could not enter outer space).
During this period, Earth's science and technology had further developed. The United Nations had undergone several reorganizations, and human society had a new way of life. Humans were more liberated from physical labor, and artificial intelligence began to enter more applications.
At the same time, marriage was becoming less and less recognized by young people. Partner simulation robots quickly entered the vast majority of personal families, making men and women no longer need each other. This was because a robot of the opposite sex that could change appearance and take care of housework was much better than a partner.
This was a product of a company in the Eastern Alliance (the Eastern Alliance was a later evolution of the Chinese Alliance). It was the product of three companies under the Sansheng Group: The Adonis Company (introducing female robots), the Goddess Company (introducing male robots), and the Love God Company (responsible for the assembly line to nurture infants and systematically nurture them to adulthood).
Human civilization had entered a new phase of development. The East had taken the lead in the transition from the era of nations to the era of corporations. And it began to be ostracized by countries all over the world.
However, the civilization of human society was moving forward, and social life had undergone tremendous changes. People wanted to work and live better, but because the population was still increasing, employment opportunities were getting fewer and fewer. 99% of jobs could be replaced by robots. The triangular contradiction between individuals, companies, and countries became more and more prominent. Each stood on the side of justice and reason. As a result, some companies became stronger and stronger. As the country became less and less important, the general public felt that labor was useless for the first time. Humanity had entered an era of redundant labor.
The East had been focusing on the development of scientists ever since the start of the world. They were the first to connect human minds into the virtual world of thought, the virtual world of Earth. In the virtual world, time flowed ten times faster than normal Earth time. One second on Earth was equivalent to ten seconds of virtual time on Earth. It was the equivalent of ten years in reality. It felt like living in the virtual world for a hundred years.
Initially, the virtual earth network was used to allow one's mind to enter the network to learn languages and various materials. Knowledge that would take ten years to learn in the real world could be completed in one year in the virtual earth network. The effect was simply ten times better.
Of course, with the addition of all kinds of real-life data packets into the virtual earth network, the virtual earth network became more and more colorful like Earth. With the opening of this network, there was a wave of people entering the network all over the world. Those who entered the network were addicted to this network for a long time and lived in the virtual world. Occasionally, there would be external bodies that lost their lives because of accidents. Such incidents would happen thousands of times every day. Once again, the Eastern virtual world was being censored by the world.
But this time, the Virtual Earth Corporation had announced a free invitation to anyone from around the world to come to the company and take care of their health. If you have been online for more than three years, you can permanently acquire citizenship under the name of an East member country.
(The East had the best life in the world, the shortest working hours, the best social protection, no oppression, no exploitation, no crime. It was the fairest society. It was a national organization that had basically eliminated the meaning of money.)
In a single month, the East had gone from one-eighth of the world's population to one-half.
Only then did countries around the world realize their crisis and began to limit the loss of population. However, most people couldn't resist the temptation of having ten times the time in the real world, not to mention the benefits and guarantees that the government would give them. Therefore, most people were still willing to live in the virtual world.
This was because the virtual earth also provided jobs, and he could completely create his own wealth there. Furthermore, there was more freedom inside. Because it was a network of consciousness, he could instantly descend to any part of the virtual earth, and the real and virtual scenery of the entire earth would be synchronized. Of course, some scenic spots required civilization coins from the virtual earth network.
As the realism of the virtual earth improved step by step, more and more people lived and worked here, and more and more people were attracted to join.
When entering the virtual world, they needed to maintain the vitality of the outside world. The East had built a hundred square kilometers of protection island. There were artificial intelligence robots to take care of everyone who entered the virtual world. More than five billion people in the world had settled down here, regardless of race, nationality, country, or language.
Meanwhile, the economy and lives of the real society in other parts of the world were severely affected. The corresponding countries strictly restricted the flow of population, causing the population of the countries where they were located to complain and protest from time to time.
In the end, almost all of the countries turned their attention to the East, preparing for another war. As the crisis worsened, war was inevitable.
Since both sides had large nuclear weapons reserves, they still chose to fight a war with conventional weapons.
The East had long since maintained the world's most advanced technology, and had always had new and unique applications. The war had ended with a new weapon demonstration. The East had won the war with the overwhelming application of new technology in the game, and had achieved almost zero casualties. This was because the battle machines or combat robots controlled by the minds of the game masters in the virtual world were used to fight the real machines controlled by the other party. The control speed of the real person was almost ten times slower than the control speed of the network. In addition, there was almost a generation difference between the weapons of both sides. The outcome of the war was almost one-sided.
After the East won the war, 99% of the world's population was now in the virtual world. The remaining 1% of the population remained scattered across the planet. They were still resisting the East and believed that the virtual world was a conspiracy to wipe out humanity.
As these people continued to wreak havoc on the East, the East had mobilized their forces to destroy all of their technological support and strictly monitored their progress. Although conflicts still occurred, the East no longer regarded them as a threat.
When the vast majority of the world's people entered the virtual world to work and live, the technology level of Earth's civilization, as well as all aspects of culture and art, rose to a new height.
When the planet was finally settled, the East began to build a large ring above the equator. This was to gather the population and to restore the planet's ecosystem.
This project was called the Red Ring Project.
The Red Ring was a circular hollow tube five thousand meters above the Earth's equator. It was specially made of new materials and was divided into small rooms. Almost 99% of the world's population lived there. They lay peacefully, but their minds lived and worked in the virtual Earth network. Their souls could freely discuss new events around the world.
Because humans were highly concentrated here, there was no pain in survival, no struggle for power, and no oppression from anyone. Everyone chose their own " career " according to their interests. Even if you did nothing, you would still have the most basic guarantee of life. As long as your thoughts were involved, you would be a part of it.
The virtual earth network would sometimes broadcast temporary jobs or matters to the entire world, inviting the people of the world to work or discuss. Then, based on the unified results, the most appropriate choice would be made.
Just like that, everyone on Earth achieved the unification of their civilization on the virtual Earth. The country disappeared, and there was no longer much definition between races. As a result, there were fewer and fewer conflicts, and the accumulation of science and technology in human civilization became more and more abundant. The small Earth could no longer accommodate the thoughts of human civilization, so it became more and more eager to explore outer space.
There was still too much space junk to leave Earth. The East had begun to use super-powerful lasers to clean up space junk from Earth. They also used lasers to destroy the vast base of programmed robots on the moon.
Time passed, and civilization continued.
After nearly a century, the outer space of Earth was finally cleaned up. The base on the moon had also turned into a pile of metal. Humans began to advance into the starry sky. Of course, due to the previous moon incident, at this stage, robots controlled by thought entered space to explore and began to rebuild the moon base in preparation for going deeper into space...
This was only the first part of the novel. There weren't many complicated relationships between the characters in it, because civilization was a matter of high probability. It wasn't a matter of small love and hatred that could control the entire world.
There was complexity behind the simplicity.
Behind the complexity was simplicity.
It was just that the people watching were different.
The time span was quite large, so I hope everyone can understand.
