Chapter 582: The Unified Field Theory



The year 2175. Somewhere in a kindergarten on Earth in Hope City.

"Now everyone please turn to page 14 in the textbook. Today, we’ll be discussing the story of our great leader, President Luo’s childhood." Within the bright classroom, the female teachers in the classroom recited with emotion, "President Luo was born in a poor household, and ever since he was a boy, he had been very hardworking. Every day, he would busy himself by helping his mother with the cleaning and while she was cooking, he would be at her side studying as best he could.

"One day, there was a typhoon outside. Windows were creaking from the wind, and the rain had splattered into the house.

"He quickly went over to close off the window, and after closing the window, he discovered a piece of spider web that had been blown apart by the wind. However, the spider kept on knitting its web under the raging wind but the wind continued raging intensely, blowing the spider away each time. Still, it crawled back up with its spider silk and continued knitting its web.

"When he saw this, he thought, ’Even this has such perseverance and an indomitable will, much like us humans. How else can we not be like this tiny spider?’

"When President Luo was younger, he wasn’t afraid of being exhausted. He was indomitable and brave so that he could contribute greatly to mankind when he grew up."

Just before the teachers sat a row of children that had just learned to walk. However, every single one of them wore a serious expression.

...

"What’s this mess? Is this the current textbook?"

Within the hologram at the front was a light distortion. Only a flickering figure covered in light could be seen within the display, but it would occasionally disappear as if the signal would be cut off at any moment.

The first officer was a middle-aged man that carried a forced smile on his face while being covered in sweat.

Following the passing of a senior-level officer like Bi Jianping, Luo Yuan retreated behind the scenes. This returned the political rotation to normal, and the leader at this moment was already the fifth generation since Luo Yuan.

However, the leader that was always known to be tough was currently frightened.

"T-this is, every human’s love for you, and is history’s evaluation of you. After all, there wouldn’t be today’s mankind without you. They won’t be able to write off your achievements."

"All these are meaningless to me!" The light figure seemed to be shaking its head. "Forget it. It won’t affect the governance, just let it be."

It was only after the voice died down and the hologram turned off that the middle-aged man was finally relieved. He wiped his sweat, and also had the surname Luo. His name was Shengwei and his grandfather along with his prominent family had given him an enormous political war chest along with unmatched influence.

However, the only time he saw his grandfather was back in the virtual reality world. Following his grandmother’s passing, he had never once set eyes on him ever again.

To this day, the only impression left on him was a commanding presence.

Every time he was faced with such a presence, he would feel a tremendous amount of pressure. Not everyone could withstand the pressure coming from someone that was branded as a god. The terrifying pressure almost stopped his heart for a moment. It did not matter if the presence was felt through a hologram. If he did not have a big heart, he probably would not have been able to stand up against the terrifying presence.

After some time, he gradually recovered and continued processing the documents.

Nowadays, the humans were not in such good shape. The dark clouds of war had shrouded the entire solar system. Although the negotiations with the Baja Civilization had been ongoing, both sides had not ceased their probing efforts at all. Throughout these 20 years, the Baja Civilization and the humans had sent hundreds of reconnaissance ships at each other to collect intelligence on the opposing civilization.

The arms race between both civilizations had intensified, and the military forces would grow several folds every few years. Once the humans made their fatigue or weakness known, an inevitable war would begin.

Now, the humans had expanded their ownership of mining planets from an initial 2 to the current 15.

The semi-finished Dyson Sphere found at the Glassian Planet had also been reinstated for use after going through some simple modifications.

At the same time, three different Dyson Spheres were currently under intensive construction in the nearby solar system.

In fact, the solar system was not geographically superior at all. The nearby star systems were either binary or tri-star systems, so they had a distorted gravitational pull. Not only was a Dyson Sphere incredibly material intensive, this fact would also make construction a hundred times more difficult, slowing down the construction progress.

The estimated time until its completion was estimated to be at 20 or 30 years.

That being said, what the humans currently lacked was time. To this day, the humans had never been able to reach their energy demands with their energy production. During times of peace, there would naturally be a surplus in energy reserves that was more than enough. However, when entering a full-scale war, it would take no more than two years to deplete their anti-matter reserves. This was the estimate for a passive and defensive stance in battle, and was not even one that included taking an expedition hundreds or thousands of light years away.

To increase their anti-matter reserves, the humans had resumed mass production in their furnace by using Jupiter as a hydrogen collection center even after they had gradually eliminated their use of nuclear fusion power furnaces. Through energy fusion, they would create anti-matter. It would only be a drop in the bucket but something was better than nothing.

30,000 curvature war fleets, 5 planetary fortresses, and 6 semi-powered intelligent space defense systems that were like 6 small planets orbited the solar system. The maximum range of their defense could reach as far as 50 light days away.

This was especially so for the latter, which had a mass equivalent to three of the fourth planet’s defense systems in the Barnard Star System. It could potentially swallow up a giant beast.

The humans were now like porcupines baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. While they were outwardly strong, they were also inwardly weak. Once the war began, their strength would only be equivalent to three broad-axes.

At this moment, his personal smart terminal suddenly received a communication request. He took a glance and the one who was initiating it was from the Supreme Scientific Committe so he put down the document on hand to immediately receive the call.

As for the personal smart terminal, the humans had currently reached 10 or so generations from the very first version which was the eye chip. The current version was integrated with the user’s body and simultaneously connected all the neural signals by using a nanoscale memory polymer quantum computer.

Once one reached adulthood, billions of microbot polymer nano quantum computers would be injected into the human body.

It was the gateway to both communication and virtual reality, along with a personal medical terminal as well. Even fatal injuries such as heart a rupture could be regenerated rapidly through these nanobots.

Standard medical services had long since been eliminated from the current human society.

...

"What, the white dwarf matter has already been synthesized under normal conditions?!" A moment after hearing this, Luo Shengwei said in surprise.

You could not blame his surprise. Although he was in politics, he only had a rudimentary understanding of science when he took over this position. The white dwarf matter seemed like the next step for critical materials, but both were actually two different concepts.

A critical material only adjusted the internal and external electromagnetic forces of an atom. White dwarf matter, on the other hand, was related to two short-range forces — the strong and weak forces in the nucleus.

In fact, with the current technological potential of the humans, they would not face much of a difficulty in creating white dwarf matter. The only requirement to create the material would be to apply an extremely high pressure, and the material would be formed. About 100 years ago in the human’s atomic physics lab, they had successfully compressed 10 gold atoms into the state of white dwarf matter.

The difficult part was to recreate it under regular circumstances. This was because white dwarf matter could not be like critical material — being able to exist under regular circumstances. Once the high pressure was released, the white dwarf matter would expand tens of thousands of times like a nuclear bomb.

Except... Humans could already adjust the short-range forces.

When he thought of this possibility, he immediately questioned them, and he finally got a confirmation.

He hung up the phone, and his heart was beating intensely. After thinking for a moment, he quickly went and accessed the academic database. Almost immediately, he found the sensational physics theory that was published about a decade ago — the Unified Field Theory!
