Chapter 543: The Pace Of War

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the Space City's analog light system gradually turned bright, a new day had come.

After Cui Weichuan had taken his breakfast, he said goodbye to his wife and quickly headed towards the magnetic molding laboratory.

Thanks to his long credentials over the past 10 years and his ideas that occasionally flashed through his mind, he could now finally be promoted to a junior engineer from an assistant engineer, as he wished. Not only had his salary and welfare increased substantially, he was now in the upper class of the hierarchy.

Of course, he was qualified to purchase a flying shuttle car. However, it was expensive and so he grudged paying for that as he used to be provident of his money. Furthermore, the laboratory was near to his house. He could reach there by walking for about 10 minutes, he treated it as training.

The Space City was categorized into two areas which were the gravitational area and the non-gravitational area. Most of the experimental organizations gathered at the former. Unless it was required by the experiment, nobody was willing to stay in the non-gravitational area.

Basically, the non-gravitational area was an unmanned industrial area.

As he walked along the street, it was crowded and unusually noisy.

The Space City was undoubtedly a technologically advanced city.

There was the glowing vault made of carbon fiber that was hundreds of meters tall which imitated the blue sky and white clouds. It also managed to intimate the soft breeze produced by the airflow, they felt as if they were living in a city on Earth. They did not feel suppressed and cramped at all.

Thanks to the unlimited supply of resources, even the conservative government employed many of the manpower and resources to decorate a fantasy-like city.

What's the definition of fantasy? The people would say tall and strange!

The skyscraper that towered into the sky was a building with a peculiar appearance.

Skyscrapers or buildings with strange shape could not be seen in the Space City. One could only see three to four levels at most and they certainly would not exceed six levels.

However, the devil was in the detail. Putting aside all the materials and technologies involved, it was a technologically advanced city. It had highly efficient artificial intelligence powered logistic system, a weather adjustment system according to the changes of the four seasons, a vault that imitated sunlight, a vacuumed train, and a highway in the sky…

The advanced technology was adopted in all aspects. The first half of the year, even Cui Weichuan who was working in the research field could hardly adapt to it, let alone the ordinary people. The technology was basically used for military purposes in the past and was less likely adopted for civilian use.

It was now all shown in front of the people, causing them to feel like the technology was misused.

Most of the ordinary people did not have a thorough understanding of the human technological development. Their educational level was limited as many of them still remained at the same educational level before leaving Earth.

However, when they suddenly realized that human technology had become so advanced in about 10 years, it seemed unbelievable to them.

…

On a three-dimensional screen at the crossroads, old songs were being played as usual. Cui Weichuan did not pay much attention to it and quickly walked forward.

Human culture after the battle had been left behind as the songs and movies were all that remained during the Reconstruction Era. Hundreds of songs and more than 10 movies were being played repeatedly over the past 10 years. He was bored of listening to them and watching them.

Right this moment, Cui Weichuan found out that the crowd suddenly stopped moving!

”What's happening?” He asked himself in doubt. Looking at the crowd, he noticed that the people were all staring at the three-dimensional screen.

He had no idea when the song had stopped playing and a beautiful emcee appeared on the screen.

”… We interrupt this for an urgent announcement!” Soon, the vice-mayor, Bi Jianping appeared on the screen and his face looked grave. He kept quiet for a moment before saying this, ”The public and the residents, I'm the vice-mayor, Bi Jianping and also currently representing mayor Luo to make an important announcement.” Bi Jianping carefully said that he was representing Luo Yuan. He was overstepping his authority. Although Luo Yuan might not care, he could still easily become the target of criticism.

”The year 2010 is a memorable day for all humans. It was the time when the antidote virus was used by the Glassian and caused a terrifying disaster to occur…”

Cui Weichuan and the crowd that was listening to him had their heart sank and their face gradually turned grave.

”The Glassians plan with obvious killing intention had killed billions of people. After the destruction, it turned the humans that were struggling to survive into ashes.

They were the newborn babies!
