Chapter 182 Golden Plains
In the 122nd year of the Crisis Era, the 101st Star-class warship was completed. This Star-class warship belonged to the American Fleet and was the first Star-class spaceship built with investment from private capital.

This star-class warship was named the 'Golden Field'.

The 'Golden Field' star-class warship was invested and built by Life Vision, the world's largest private hibernation technology company.

LifeVision has a strong hibernation base with hundreds of thousands of hibernation pods around the world, second only to the official Antarctic hibernation base in scale.

The crisis brought about by the empire's devouring has fueled the people's will to resist. Giant corporations like [Life Vision Corporation] have begun to curb their profit-driven nature in order to survive, and have made various free investments for the United Government.

After all, if the Earth is gone, no amount of capital appreciation will make a difference.

Alfred Miller, owner of Life Vision, frankly stated: "The completion of the 'Golden Field' is the greatest effort Life Vision can make for human civilization. May God bless humanity, and may humanity run eternally in the Golden Field."

Although the Golden Plains was just a standard star-class warship and had nothing particularly outstanding compared to other star-class warships, its creation greatly boosted the enthusiasm of private investment.

It turns out that even unofficial individuals can build star-class warships.

This has given people new ideas.

Since the Great Depression, the revitalized giants have begun to emulate Life Vision, taking pride in investing in the construction of a stellar warship.

Thanks to the maturity of the space dock, the total resource cost of producing a star-class warship is approximately 300 billion Universal Currencies (the unified currency of the United Government since the Great Depression, with an equivalent purchasing power of approximately the US dollar at the end of the 20th century).

Three hundred billion Huanyu coins is a price that some giant companies can afford.

With the influx of investments from major corporations, the financial burden on the coalition government to build ships has been greatly reduced.

Besides business leaders, people from various countries have also spontaneously established 'Fleet Crowdfunding Websites' online and applied to MOSS and the Digital Republic for unified supervision and safekeeping.

In just two months since the website was launched, 110 billion people around the world have crowdfunded 72 star-class warships, with each person investing an average of 4000 Universal Coins.

The minimum monthly wage stipulated by the coalition government is 1900 Universal Coins, which is equivalent to more than two months' salary for each person.

The website has only been open for two months, which means that many people have donated their savings, which is quite an exaggerated proportion.

On the 'Fleet Crowdfunding Website', besides the real-time display of crowdfunding funds and the progress bar for the 73rd crowdfunded Stellar-class warship, only one sentence is displayed:

[Give Civilization Time]

This statement is a paraphrase of a famous quote by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal: "Give life to time, not time to life."

Survival is the most pressing need for everyone.

Looking at the past two months and the crowdfunding investment of up to 72 star-class warships, the Minister of Finance of the Earth United Government couldn't help but sigh: "Ordinary people still have money."

If the government and the public work together, it is possible for humanity to accumulate three thousand star-class warships within 200 years of the Crisis Era.

More space docks are under construction, and more stellar-class warship technology demonstrations are underway. Following the development of a propellantless controlled nuclear fusion engine that can achieve speeds of 10% and even 20% of the speed of light, scientists are now pursuing nuclear fusion engines that can achieve speeds of 15% and even 20% of the speed of light.

With the technology used to study dinosaurs, reverse engineering might actually present an opportunity.

The human birth rate is inversely proportional to the production of starships.

Globally, traditional family structures are on the verge of collapse, and while hedonism is rejected, it remains unavoidable.

This disintegration has nothing to do with technology or quality of life, but rather with the spontaneous decision of the people, a decision that cannot be reversed by pro-natalist or forced birth laws.

In response, the Earth United Government withdrew all forced childbirth laws and took a different approach, lifting the restrictions on the "artificial womb" technology that had been previously restricted by law.

In fact, the coalition government's artificial womb technology is already quite mature, and it has enough sperm and egg cells, but it has been unable to implement it due to ethical and folk traditions.

However, in the future, population will remain an important resource for the united government, and the war to defend the solar system cannot always rely on a group of old men and women or hibernators.

The related systems for infant and toddler care centers, kindergartens, twelve-year compulsory education, and university education are also gradually being improved.

Socialized parenting, through the macro-control of MOSS and the Digital Republic, provides more personalized education and training programs for the new generation. At the same time, communities, schools, and professional institutions will play a greater role in socialized parenting, forming a comprehensive parenting system.

Socialized parenting has also brought about new job positions and social roles.

For example, super moms and super dads.

This "super" has nothing to do with super skills, but rather refers to the fact that the caregivers often become the shared "parents" of dozens or even hundreds of people, hence the term "super parents." Traditional social structures have been shaken, and as family identities such as "mother," "father," and "siblings" have been weakened, new social structures have begun to emerge.

The aggressive profanity that humanity has used for thousands of years has also disappeared with the disappearance of the 'mother' role.

This is the most unacceptable point for many hibernators.

When awakened hibernators argue with new humans, they find that their proud old-fashioned six arts of the gentleman and their vulgar insults to the mothers of their eighteen generations of ancestors have failed them. They are so sad that they have no words to express it, and some even cry.

"The era of Tieba is over, sob sob..."

Luo Qing, a kind-hearted man, did not have any particular attitude towards these social changes. Although he was the benevolent corpse of the original body, he was far less feudal than the original body.

He supports all human self-preservation efforts.

The "equality of birth" that human society has dreamed of for thousands of years has been achieved with this technology.
As a result, humanity entered a stage of parallel development of traditional family and socialized upbringing.

However, before this parallel phase was fully stable, serious turmoil and setbacks occurred.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing received a 'plea for help' call from the Earth United Government.

...

Crisis Era 132 Years.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing descended from the sky.

"what happened?"

Upon arriving, the kind-hearted Luo Qing saw the American and Russian troops standing guard, clearly mobilized by the coalition government.

Since he lacked authorization from the original body, the kind-hearted Luo Qing could not use his divine sense, so he could only ask the frontline commander here.

This is Zambia in Africa, a country that disappeared during a major economic downturn, leaving only its name as a place name. US and Russian troops have completely surrounded the Zambian region from both the north and south.

Most incredibly, a star-class warship—the 'Golden Plains' star-class warship—was actually anchored directly above the orbit of Zambia in Africa, and even the 'Golden Plains' star-class warship's 'electromagnetic kinetic energy cannon' was in a ready state.

The golden fields hovering over the African continent, known as the golden plains, is quite fitting.

But what's with that cannon muzzle?

The gleaming black muzzles of the cannons emanated from deep within the belly of the Golden Field warship, pointing vertically downwards towards the Zambia region.

It's worth noting that the electromagnetic kinetic energy cannons of a stellar-class warship, when activated at full power, can flatten an entire Mount Tai in three minutes.

Give it half an hour, and a starship can destroy the Himalayas on the surface.

More than ten star-class warships will launch a joint orbital attack, with electromagnetic kinetic energy cannons combined with star-class nuclear bombs and other weapons, which could completely destroy the entire Eurasian continent within a day.

One hundred star-class warships, disregarding firepower losses, could destroy the surface of a planet in a single day.

"ETO has set up a new base again? Like the one in Kepler, South Africa?" Luo Qing asked the US frontline commander here.

"It has nothing to do with ETO or any other alien organization; this is a mess the Africans made themselves," the U.S. frontline commander said through gritted teeth.

"What trouble?"

"Some African scientists are doing some heinous things! They're actually hybridizing human genes with wild animals! What bastards!"

"So Zambia is still full of us humans, right?" Luo Qing asked.

"If those monsters can be considered human, then they are," the U.S. frontline commander roared.

"Sigh, as long as it's a human being, I'll go in and check the situation first. Don't fire indiscriminately. I'll go find out what's going on."

With that, the kind-hearted Luo Qing walked alone towards Zambia, surrounded by the army.
