Chapter 1818 Civil War
While humans were developing rapidly, the Trisolarians were also developing their own technology without stopping. Their research goal was the light speed engine.
In this universe, reaching the speed of light is considered a civilization that has truly entered the universe.
A civilization that does not even have a light speed engine is just a barbarian bound by gravity no matter how advanced it is. The Trisolarians plan to complete the plan within two hundred years.
The things Duran made also indirectly helped the Trisolarians. After seeing the Alaya consciousness, the Trisolarians decided to further deepen their ideological transparency and turn the entire race into a whole, a super biological computer.
Only in this way can they tap into all their wisdom, they will become smarter, and shorten the development of the light speed engine to the shortest time.
In order to survive, the Trisolarians will do whatever it takes, which is the same as humans.
The two races have become more assimilated in order to survive.
During this period, a major event occurred on Earth, that is, the energy crisis of some humans.
Before the macro atomic energy was developed, humans encountered trouble because of the depletion of oil. At this time, ten years had passed since the invasion of the Trisolarans was known. In these ten years, countries were frantically hoarding resources in order to cope with possible changes. Even for a long time, the resource market was in chaos and oil prices were priced and unmarketable.
The result was that resources were monopolized by big countries, and small countries could not even drink soup. Ten years later, small countries have completely fallen into an energy crisis, which is the so-called energy crisis for some people.
In this era, the Wallfacer Project has been forgotten. The four wallfacers, Bill and Luo Ji, have already hibernated, and Taylor is still busy building a mass accelerator in the universe, with no hope of victory at all.
A lot of things happened before Luo Ji entered hibernation, such as his wife and children were sent to hibernate by the United Nations, hoping to force Luo Ji to work quickly in this way. Luo Ji finally carried out his experiment, which was to send a coordinate to the universe, and then he also hibernated. As for the meaning of the coordinate, no one knows.
But hibernation can avoid the era of great chaos in mankind.
In order to survive and develop, big countries monopolize resources, and small countries fall into a resource crisis. Finally, large-scale armed conflicts occurred in South America and Eastern Europe, and then South Asia split.
In the past ten years, human beings have experienced more changes than in the previous hundreds of years. Human beings are becoming less and less afraid of death, more and more crazy, and even many people have violent tendencies.
Human life seems to be the least valuable thing.
So the scale of war is getting bigger and bigger, and the big countries are behind the conflict, fueling the flames, providing weapons and technology. The battlefield has become a place for the big countries to test new weapons.
Mechanical fighting techniques are also used on the battlefield, and mechanical soldiers appear on a large scale, making the war more cruel.
Everyone is worried that the conflict will expand, and in the end the big countries will personally intervene and turn it into a world war. In the past ten years, although the United Nations seems to be cooperating happily and working hard for the Wallface Project, in fact, the opinions within the United Nations are very divided, because many small countries not only do not get any benefits but also lose their fortunes.
It is said that it is for the whole world to resist the invasion of the Trisolarians, but in fact it is just for the big countries to protect themselves in order to ensure their own interests. Although the big countries paid the bulk of the Wallface Project, the small countries also contributed their strength.
Moreover, the big countries have a strong foundation, and they can continue to suck blood from the small countries after paying the bulk. But the small countries have no money to begin with. Not only do they have to pay money to support the Wallface Project, but they also have to be sucked blood, and their resources and energy are also strangled by the neck. It is more than just a miserable word.
At present, the big countries are only the pushers behind the scenes. The world situation has really become a chess game. There are only a few players, and the remaining small countries are all chess pieces.
However, not every country is willing to be a chess piece. Finally, the chess piece raised an angry fist to the chess player.
A nuclear explosion occurred in North America, which was absolutely unexpected. Such a terrible thing made North America immediately cut off contact with the outside world. One thousand satellites in the sky were fully operational to monitor the whole world.
The atmosphere between the big countries became tense. No one knew who leaked the nuclear technology. They only knew that from today on, no one could sit on the sidelines.
Instead of waiting to be hit, it is better to launch a strike first. This idea instantly prevailed.
A chain of suspicion appeared, and the atmosphere of various countries reached the extreme of collapse.
Duran, Wade, and Taylor looked at the increasingly worsening international situation. Taylor and Wade chose to hibernate. If humans choose to self-destruct, let them go. If humans do not destroy, then they will continue to come out to plan after peace. Their talents are only to defeat the Trisolarans, not to help humans kill each other.
Duran certainly will not hibernate. He wants to see whether humans will fight a nuclear war.
The answer is yes. Once nuclear technology is leaked, everyone will be a hunter with a gun. If you don't destroy the enemy, then the enemy will destroy you.
But who leaked the nuclear technology? It is very likely to be Sophon, because the Trisolarans have every reason to let humans self-destruct.
The nuclear war began. North America took the lead in launching 660 nuclear bombs, and carried out saturation strikes on major cities in countries around the world.
Then more than 500 nuclear warheads rose from the Far East and Europe to retaliate against countries around the world.
On this day, missiles and anti-missiles danced in the sky, and the atmosphere was burned into boiling water by fireworks. Countless lives fell, cities collapsed, and the nine heavens and ten earths were turned upside down.
The most injured are still small countries. Big countries at least have anti-missile systems to protect themselves as much as possible, and there is also an underground Great Wall as a shelter.
And the small countries had no chance to resist at all, they were directly wiped out, it was really destroying you, what does it have to do with you.
After the nuclear strike, there was a large-scale electronic warfare, using the most advanced technology to destroy the enemy's electronic equipment and interfere with the enemy's intelligence. Every country was fighting with the idea of strike first.
This time it was not for resources, but to kill the enemy and protect themselves.
Everyone who participated in the war was crazy. No one knew how far the war would go. Maybe it was really to destroy everyone else.
Of course, it was not really that crazy. The strategy formulated by the big countries was to send all opponents back to agricultural civilization. Because the disparity between the strong and the weak is only the most obvious in the low-tech era. With the development of technology, anyone can make nuclear bombs, which is the most unbearable.
However, the big countries soon realized that it was too difficult to send the big countries of the same size back to the pastoral era. After they beat down all the small countries, they would fall into an endless war of attrition, which was really not worth the loss for them.
So after the two sides fought three large-scale battles in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, the big countries finally sat at the negotiating table again.
A more stable unified government was established, the land of the earth was divided, and a new system was established. Human beings finally overthrew the World War II order and re-established a more centralized system. All discourse power was controlled by the unified government. There was no longer a distinction between big and small countries in the world, only a distinction between three regions.
Europe, Asia, America, countless corpses became stepping stones for the three major regions, because each region now has only one voice, and the previous state of a hundred schools of thought no longer exists, because all voices except one voice have been eliminated.
There were countless tragedies in the war, but after the war, the surviving humans put forward the beautiful slogan "Give civilization to the years, not to the years to civilization". After each war, humans will enter the sage time.
This sentence is like Thanksgiving, a sentence that takes away the evil deeds of the three major people in charge today. Becoming a small country in history, half of the dead population will become an insignificant paragraph in the history textbook. The important thing is that humans can now finally develop technology to fight against the Trisolarans with one heart and one mind.
But Duran became a wanted criminal designated by the new government, the kind that must be killed without mercy.
