The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Five years passed in a flash.

In a daze, Pang Xuelin only felt a gust of cold water choking into his lung ducts, and he coughed violently.

"Professor Pang, how do you feel?"

Pang Xuelin was helped up from the bed, and he was handed another cup of hot water.

Pang Xuelin poured the hot water in one gulp, and turned to look at the blond-haired and blue-eyed nurse in white beside him.

Fortunately, it still looks modern.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Pang Xuelin asked.

This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of hibernation since he has traveled through so many worlds.

He didn't feel much during hibernation. After he was injected with a tube of hibernation medicine, he fell unconscious as if under general anesthesia.

It's just that it's not easy to wake up.

Although Pang Xuelin didn't feel anything during hibernation, after waking up, he felt that his whole brain seemed to be rusted. Although many memories from the past were still there, he needed to think carefully before he could recall them.

The nurse seemed to be used to the state of the hibernator after waking up, and said with a smile: "Professor Pang, it is September 15th, eighth year of the Crisis Era, and you have hibernated for five years, January 12th. Come with me, and I will take you there In the shower room, take a shower and change your clothes."

Only then did Pang Xuelin feel sticky and uncomfortable.

He is wearing a kind of special clothing for hibernators, which is connected to various detection instruments to monitor the physical condition of hibernators.

After Pang Xuelin took a shower, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and followed the nurses out of the hibernation center, he saw Cheng Xin wearing a navy blue women's suit and uniform, standing pretty at the door waiting.

During the five years of hibernation, the years did not leave much mark on her body.

"Professor Pang, long time no see!"

Cheng Xin said with a smile.

"Long time no see, when did you wake up?"

"I woke up a week ago.

"

Cheng Xin set a wake-up time one week earlier than Pang Xuelin, to understand the changes in the world pattern in advance, so as to help Pang Xuelin better adapt to work and life in the new era.

Under the leadership of Cheng Xin, Pang Xuelin walked out of the hibernation center and boarded the heavily guarded convoy.

"Where are we going now?"

Looking at New York City outside the window, Pang Xuelin felt that it hadn't changed much from when he hibernated five years ago.

It's just that along the way, because his convoy passed by, the roads were tightly blocked, and it is hard to see how much people's lives have changed.

But Pang Xuelin could clearly feel that there were fewer billboards along the way, and instead there were more political slogans calling on human beings to unite and resist the three-body invasion.

There are also many portraits of political leaders from various countries.

Among them, Pang Xuelin even saw his head hanging high on the top of the Empire State Building in New York.

Cheng Xin said, "Let's go back to the hotel now. It's still the former Hilton Presidential Suite. During the five years of our hibernation, the Hilton family has kept it for us."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said: "You have been awake for a week, you should have a general understanding of the current situation, tell me about the current situation."

"good!"

Next, Cheng Xin reported to Pang Xuelin the changes in the global situation in the past five years.

Overall, compared with five years ago, the global economic situation has basically completed the shift to a wartime economy.

All countries are focusing their energy on aerospace technology, IT, communications, energy and other fields closely related to military industry. Human space launches have exceeded 10,000 times a year, and a new generation of International Space Station has been built to accommodate more than 100 astronauts. The next generation of the International Space Station, which can accommodate more than a thousand people, is being planned.

However, humans still have no way to break through the limitations of chemically powered rockets.

In the field of energy, nuclear fusion is still a dream.

The construction progress of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is accelerating. It is said that 90% of the construction work has been completed and it is expected to be completed in the next year or two.

But if you want to officially enter the experimental stage, you need at least one or two years of debugging.

As for when the commercial operation of nuclear fusion power plants will be completed, no one can say clearly. The most optimistic estimate will take at least thirty or forty years.

On the whole, the living standards of people in all countries in the world have experienced regression to varying degrees. Although religion has revived to a certain extent, it is still relatively limited.

On the contrary, the Wallfacers are attracting more and more social attention. Whether they want to or not, their savior image in the public mind has been established, and the worship of the Wallfacers has naturally emerged.

Myths about their superpowers continue to spread like wildfire, and only get better and better. Represented as superheroes in science fiction movies, they are, in the minds of many, the only hope for humanity's future.

...

"What about the rest of the Wallfacers?"

Pang Xuelin asked again.

Cheng Xindao: "In the third year of your hibernation, which is the sixth year of the Crisis Era, since the supercomputer capable of simulating the holographic image of the human brain has not yet been broken through, Dr. Bill Hines chose to go into hibernation and wake up after the supercomputer breaks through. Mr. Rey Diaz's stellar hydrogen bomb seems to be progressing not very well. I heard people from the United Nations say that if there is no way to break through in a short time, Mr. Rey Diaz is also going to hibernate. Mr. Taylor's plan is progressing the most smoothly , Large-scale experiments on ball lightning and macro-atom fusion are being carried out in space, but Mr. Taylor has encountered a little trouble recently..."

"Little trouble?"

"Someone posted on the Internet, claiming that he is a member of ETO, and has seen through Mr. Taylor's plan. He said that Mr. Taylor is going to be equipped with a macro-atom fusion weapon at the forefront of the fleet before the battle between the human fleet and the Trisolaran fleet in the doomsday battle The death fleet with ball lightning weapons will target the main fleet of human beings, and use macro-atom fusion weapons to destroy the earth space army. After the macro-atom fusion attack, the human fleet will become a quantum space army, allowing These Quantum Phantoms are going to resist the Trisolaran fleet. Because they are invincible, because the destroyed fleet cannot be destroyed again, and the dead cannot die again."

"How did Taylor respond?"

"At present, Mr. Taylor has not responded, but the PDC has asked Mr. Taylor to return to New York as soon as possible to hold a hearing on the wall facing plan to accept the questioning of the PDC."

"When's Taylor coming?"

"Well, let me check. It should arrive in New York at seven o'clock tonight. Mr. Taylor will be questioned tomorrow."

"It's really a coincidence." Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Why didn't they wake me up earlier? I said that something happened to the Wall Facing Project, and they must wake me up in advance."

Cheng Xin said, "I heard that the original PDC inquiry meeting was going to be held three days ago, and it was Mr. Taylor who deliberately delayed it. It seems to be waiting for you to wake up."

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, laughed, and said, "Notify Mr. Taylor's team, I will treat Mr. Taylor to dinner tonight."

"clear."

"By the way, what about Xinghuan City?"

Cheng Xin said, "When I went to the Hibernation Center to pick you up just now, Mr. Kanter's plane had just arrived at the New York airport. He should be on his way to the hotel now. He will report to you about the Xinghuan City later."

...

Arrive at the Hilton Hotel.

Pang Xuelin came directly to the presidential suite through the direct elevator, and Kanter was already waiting inside.

I haven't seen him for five years, Kanter looks a lot older, but judging from the expression on his face, he is still very excited to see Pang Xuelin again.

"Pang, my old buddy! It's been five years, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

"Kanter, I'm also very happy to meet you again!"

The two came forward to hug and shake hands, exchanged greetings for a while, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Pang, this is a piece of information related to the construction of Xinghuan City specially made by someone, please take a look first!"

Kanter turned on the 120-inch OLED LCD TV in the living room, took out a tablet computer, and connected it to the TV.

Soon, in an exciting BGM, the aerial images of Xinghuan City slowly appeared in front of Pang Xuelin.

This is an exquisite and beautiful coastal city.

Blue sky, white clouds, sunny beaches, a beautiful sea airport, appeared in the east of the city.

There is a large port terminal on the edge of the city, and the seaside road around the island passes through the edge of the city, and all kinds of tropical green plants are planted on both sides of the road.

There are not many high-rise buildings in the city, only a few near the sea, and the rest are low-rise buildings.

Kanter introduced to Pang Xuelin one by one: "Ninety percent of the first phase of the Star Ring City project has been completed. The four 1.25 million-kilowatt nuclear reactors have been put into operation as early as two years ago. The airport is an artificial island airport. , there is a 4,000-meter-long runway, which can take off and land aircraft of any tonnage in the world. We have built four large deep-water berths of 1 to 200,000 tons, 10 berths of 10,000 to 50,000 tons, and a road around the island. It was completed a year ago...”

"Currently, the Halo Institute of Advanced Studies has moved into Halo City. We have successively established the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the Institute of Mathematics, the Institute of Modern Agriculture, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and the Institute of Fusion Engineering and Electromagnetics. The Institute of Orbital Propulsion... At present, more than 5,000 researchers from all over the world have entered the Star Ring City. Including the families of these researchers, the construction workers involved in the construction of the Star Ring City, and those engaged in the service industry who have poured in from other places Including personnel, the current total population of Xinghuan City has exceeded 200,000, and it is still increasing rapidly. Xinghuan City City Hall, Police Station, Court, People's Congress and other institutions have been established. In addition, Xinghuan University It is also being formed..."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said with a smile on his face, "Kanter, you have worked hard for the past five years!"

Kanter shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion: "It's not hard work, and I can personally participate in the construction of such a city. My life is not in vain..."

Next, Pang Xuelin chatted with Kanter about his experiences in the past five years, and had a clearer understanding of the entire construction process of Xinghuan City.

During the first two years of construction, Xinghuan City was in various stages of infrastructure construction, including breakwaters, ports, roads, airports, nuclear power plants, and more.

It wasn't until the third year that the port was completed that the construction of Xinghuan City entered the fast lane.

Naturally, countless problems were encountered, but they were all overcome and solved by the builders one by one.

This is also Pang Xuelin rich.

In five years, the PDC has allocated a total of 300 billion U.S. dollars. Excluding the 100 billion U.S. dollars in scientific research investment, the remaining 200 billion U.S. dollars will be used for urban construction and various laboratories under the Transwarp Institute for Advanced Study. The results are naturally Astonishing.

The afternoon was spent chatting between Pang Xuelin and Kanter, and it was not until late in the evening that Kanter said goodbye and left.

He knew that Pang Xuelin was going to meet Taylor at night, so naturally he would not continue to disturb him.

...

Pang Xuelin met Taylor in the dining room of the presidential suite.

Taylor has basically not hibernated much in the past five years. He doesn't seem to have changed, and he still looks polite.

But Pang Xuelin could tell that Taylor was not in a good mood.

Seeing Pang Xuelin again, Taylor had a bitter smile on his face and said: "Professor Pang, I found that I still overestimate myself. Although you warned us at the first round table meeting, don't take yourself too seriously. But after all these years, standing in the position of the Wallfacer, it's hard not to think about it! I just didn't expect..."

Pang Xuelin directly interrupted Taylor, winked at him and said: "Mr. Taylor, the other party didn't see through your plan. This time the PDC called you here just for a routine questioning. You don't have to worry too much. As for ETO Jumping out so quickly shows that they are really anxious..."

"Professor Pang..."

Taylor was slightly taken aback, and just about to continue talking, Pang Xuelin smiled and waved his hands: "Eat first, let's talk after we finish."

After a big steak meal, Taylor was a little restless at first, but Pang Xuelin remained calm, and he gradually calmed down.

After eating, Pang Xuelin and Taylor sat down in the living room, and Cheng Xin served them traditional Chinese green tea. Pang Xuelin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Mr. I spent a lot of energy and time traveling around the world, inspecting the armies and other armed forces of various countries, trying to find the remaining spirit of self-sacrifice in human society, and forming a space army with this spirit, right?"

Taylor nodded without speaking.

Pang Xuelin said: "Actually, I guessed what you were thinking. Since ball lightning and macro-atom weapons need to attack targets at close range, they have a higher casualty rate than other space weapons. Therefore, your original plan was to find a batch of weapons with enough Soldiers with self-sacrificing spirit, carrying these weapons to attack the Trisolaran fleet, but later found that this plan is not feasible, so you thought of another plan...the infiltration plan!"

"Infiltration plan?"

Taylor blinked, puzzled.

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly: "Tomorrow, the full text of the infiltration plan will appear on the Internet. At the PDC questioning meeting, you only need to answer. Everything, including this questioning meeting, is part of the plan. gone."
