Chapter 167 Technological Explosion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Luo Qing didn't tease Ding Yi any further. Shortly after the altar of truth was removed, Luo Qing told him about the unified model of the universe through telepathy.

While Ding Yi was engrossed in the unified cosmological model, Luo Qing brought him to his senses:
"Brother Ding Yi, humanity still faces many crises. The tire-shaped spaceship and the Trisolaran fleet are both threats to us."

Humanity doesn't have 300 years left; we only have a little over 100 years before that giant tire flies to the solar system.

Humanity currently possesses one stellar-class warship and 70 planetary-class warships, as well as a near-Earth orbit defense system, a lunar defense base, a Mars defense base, a Mercury cavitation base, and forward bases under construction on Europa and Ganymede.

But these forces are clearly not enough. Humanity only has 100 years left. In these 100 years, we need to have a powerful space fleet to deal with the threat of that giant tire.

Only by successfully dealing with the threat of the giant tires will humanity be qualified to face the invasion of the Trisolaran fleet 300 years from now.

I know you are passionate about theoretical research, especially cutting-edge physics, and have always looked down on applied physics. But I believe you have a natural talent for applied physics, as evidenced by your breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion technology. If you specialize in a particular field, your achievements will not be inferior to those of Professor Wang Miao from decades ago.

Given the existing unified cosmological model, I hope you can shift your focus slightly towards applied physics and find ways to overcome the pressing technological challenges facing humanity. The Space Force needs you, and civilization needs you.

Ding Yi, who is over 100 years old (actually over 50 years old), was also deeply moved by Luo Qing's heartfelt expression.

"I will, I will study applied physics. Thank you for your unified cosmological model."

"Thank you for your hard work in the coming decades," Luo Qing said earnestly.

Ding Yi certainly did not disappoint Luo Qing. In the next few years, the "Human Emperor Banner Scientist Group" led by Ding Yi completed several major technological breakthroughs with extremely high work efficiency.

Human Emperor Banner Science Team, Science Teams from Various Countries, and Science Team of the Digital Republic.

The three scientific teams worked side by side, contributing brilliant technological breakthroughs to human civilization in their respective fields of expertise.

The completion of the Large Hadron Colliders on Europa and Ganymede, in particular, allowed humanity to seize a gap in the sophon technology blockade. In the short few years following the arrival of neo-sophonic ions in the solar system, numerous cutting-edge theories were broken through, and the sophon wall that had stood in the way of human scientific progress was breached by humanity using the most forceful means.

This is the end.

Following the technological explosion of the Trisolaran civilization, human civilization also experienced a technological explosion.

First, there is a breakthrough in the engine of a stellar-class warship. The latest type of propellantless radiation-controlled nuclear fusion propulsion engine can bring a stellar-class spaceship to its theoretical maximum speed, 10% of the speed of light.

The theoretical maximum speed of 10% of the speed of light has already exceeded the cruising speed of the Trisolaran fleet at 1% of the speed of light.

Such a powerful technological breakthrough has greatly boosted the confidence of human civilization.

Although it will be a long way to go before the 10% speed of light theory becomes a reality, humanity has finally seen hope.

China, the United States, Russia, the European Union, the Pacific Front, and the Latin American Alliance. These countries, which should have been ravaged or even disappeared in the midst of a great slump, have embarked on the exploration of the deep space of the solar system with a proud and reborn spirit.

The first batch of six star-class warships has begun construction!
The USS Prometheus, a starship

The European Union's "Paradox Engine" starship,

The Pacific Front's "Weiwei" Star-class battleship,

Russia's "Aurora" star-class warship,

China's "Bronze Age" starship, the Latin Alliance's "Amazon" starship,

These six batches of stellar-class warships became humanity's first stellar-class warships with combat capabilities, following the experimental "Adam" stellar-class warship. The day all six ships were deployed, they became the main fleet units of the Joint Space Force.

At the call of the United Space Force, these six star-class warships were equipped with mature space warfare weapons, namely high-power laser cannons, interstellar nuclear missiles (star-shaped hydrogen bomb warheads), and interstellar electromagnetic cannons.

In addition to these three major space warfare weapons, each star-class warship is also equipped with warship weapons that suit its own characteristics. For example, the EU's "Paradox Engine" star-class warship is equipped with the EU-specific Converging Prism Weapon.

The Pacific Front's "Weiwei" starship is more like a large interstellar carrier platform, capable of deploying a large number of space fighters for contact combat.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other reasons to discuss them.

Thousands of ships pass by the sunken boat, and thousands of trees bloom in front of the dead tree.

The historical status of planetary warships is gradually being replaced. Older planetary warships like the Wan Nian Yan Di and Wan Nian Feng Xue have been completely relegated to research vessels. These two old warships, which are nearly 60 years old, have practically become geosynchronous satellites of Mercury, floating in Mercury's orbit year after year to serve as transit stations for Mercury's cavitation base.

The old American planetary warship 'Comet' and the old Commonwealth planetary warship 'New World' were completely dismantled, and some of their hull materials became one of the base materials for the new warship, burning the last flame for the new warship.

Regardless of the fate of these planetary warships, the history of planetary warships represents a significant step for humanity in uniting with space forces to venture into deep space, and its significance cannot be erased.

In addition to the significant progress made by the United Space Force, the Earth's political system has also undergone a reorganization. The threat of the tire-shaped spaceships is imminent, a century from now. The sense of security that was originally thought to be 300 years away from the Trisolaran civilization has vanished. In order to better integrate the power of human civilization, the United Nations, which already had real power, announced the formation of the Earth United Government on the 100th anniversary of the Crisis Era.

The superpowers, supranational organizations, and small and medium-sized countries have become members of the Earth United Government, somewhat like the Soviet Union in the last century, but much closer together than that unbreakable alliance.

For the first time since its inception, human civilization has achieved complete unity in form under the threat of two external enemies.

Although the United Space Force is an independent political and military force, it still needs to accept the overall leadership of the Earth United Government.

The space cities and other satellite colonies in low Earth orbit are part of the Earth United Government.

Luo Qing attended this grand ceremony.

The last UN Secretary-General and the last President of the Planetary Defense Council, who spearheaded global political integration, stood in the UN Plaza in New York and pressed the button responsible for the vote. On the solar system map, six thousand red dots lit up in various regions of the solar system, representing all human outposts distributed across the five continents of Earth, near-Earth orbit, the lunar base, the Martian colony, the Mercury cavitation base, the forward bases of Europa and Ganymede, and the Digital Republic.

Of these, over 5000 red dots represent Earth, with the remainder distributed throughout the solar system. In this unified vote, which was delayed for more than six hours, the proposal to form a coalition government received an overwhelming political vote.

Finally, the seven permanent members of the Security Council/supranational organizations (including the Digital Republic) gave final authorization and officially announced the establishment of the Earth United Government.

On this ship of civilization, people have temporarily pooled their strength to steer the ship, but in this long, dark universe, no one knows where the end will lead.

Having observed the third civilization through the Sophons, the Trisolaran fleet remained steadfast, steadily making its way towards humanity. However, this 400-year journey was not without its surprises. Their capture devices, based on the Sophons' real-time positioning, successfully captured a brain lost in interstellar space, almost forgotten by humanity. Although transporting this brain back to the First Fleet would take another fifty years, it was enough to excite the fleet.

Meanwhile, the third civilization, which was approaching the Kuiper Belt and about to return to its 'homeland', was completely unaware of the existence of the Sophon. They were looking forward to a feast that they had not seen for countless years.

The evening breeze swept across the lawn of the United Nations Plaza, carrying cheers that echoed towards the gradually illuminating near-Earth orbit city. On this night marking the centenary of the Crisis Era, six stellar-class warships solemnly sailed over Earth. Everyone looked up at the sky, and under the dazzling light of those six stellar-class warships, some of their fears about the future finally dissipated.

In this uncertain world, the future is coming whether people are ready or not.
