Chapter 415 Living in the New Era
In 2028 AD, Huaxia officially announced the initial success of the manned s.p.a.cecraft and tested it successfully and overtly on New Year’s Day in 2029. It brought back grains and fossils of plant seeds from Pluto.
In 2031, Huaxia took the lead to carry out the plan of remaking the Moon. With initial results achieved in 2047, mankind finally had a second habitable planet in the solar system.
In 2050, the moon immigration program was launched and there were five million people moving to the moon from the earth.
In 2051, the earth received an interstellar signal and people all over the world were in an uproar. Two weeks later, the radio wave was translated–“the Alpha Alliance will officially take over the earth. Don’t struggle uselessly and just cooperate.”
All policymakers in various countries were shocked and sent envoys to the moon to negotiate.
On September 1, 2051 AD, the negotiations were officially declared a failure as the Alpha Alliance s.p.a.cecraft launched energy cannon to blow up the world-famous Paris. All envoys were killed. There were some memorable heroes like Colonel General Mu Tianqing and Major General Pei Jinfeng from the State of Huaxia, Abak.u.m from Russia…
The state of Huaxia, together with the major powers of the world, organized to defend against the Alpha Alliance wars.h.i.+ps and mecha troops.
During the war, the State of Huaxia provided many magical weapons and united many countries. Four Alpha Alliance stars.h.i.+ps were destroyed at that time. In 2053, the earth once won a counterattack.
In October 2053, the ozone layer which had protected the earth for thousands of years was completely destroyed because of wars. A large amount of unknown substances in the universe poured in and many creatures on earth evolved.
In 2058, the Alpha Alliance sent more wars.h.i.+ps to the earth. Creatures other than humans on Earth have evolved with terrifying strength. The air was polluted and the water was not potable… Most importantly, the land was almost mutated and the crops could not grow there. There was a crisis both at home and abroad and the global situation was in a critical moment.
At the end of 2058, the Alpha Alliance occupied 60% of the world’s land and the encirclement circle was tightened around Huaxia.
In the same year, Huaxia cultivators infiltrated Iraqi behind the Alpha Alliance and opened the legendary Tower of Babel in the ancient Babylon. The ultimate defense of the earth, the Shelter of G.o.ds, was launched.
The Alpha Alliance’s interstellar army and almost half of the earth’s mutant creatures were annihilated. All cultivators around the world disappeared after the Shelter of G.o.ds was launched.
In 2059, the Alpha Alliance announced that it would end its aggression against the earth. There were less than 100 million human beings on the earth and they could finally take a breath. The national borders totally disappeared and the earth established a federal co-governance. The time when the former test flight of Huaxia manned s.p.a.cecraft was regarded as Year One of the new era, which means humans on the earth entered the interstellar age from then on.
In May of the same year, the earth joined the Alpha Alliance and became a Rank One member star of the Alliance.
The war lasting for eight years to defend the Earth finally ended.
In 2062, due to difficulties in reconstruction, the Alpha Alliance helped the earth and sent peacekeeping troops to Himalayas on the Earth. In August of the same year, the Alpha Alliance provided high-priced genetic evolution fluids for humans.
Human genetic evolution made a major breakthrough from then on…
…
As the administrative center of the Earth Federation, Dongting City is almost a paradise in the world.

With the successful reconstruction of the moon in 2208, Pluto had also been developed with the a.s.sistance of the Alpha Alliance. More and more humans migrated and then left the earth. However, from the perspective of humans on the earth or not, the Dongting City has always been a major center for so many years.
Compared with artificial planets, the waters of Dongting preserve the last fertile soil for the earth’s nature, which is pleased by the richest and n.o.blest people.
There are drinkable lake water here. Fields with fertile soil are beside the lake. Only in Dongting City can you eat food that really grows in the soil after a long growth cycle, rather than being ripened by organic nutrients. As long as you have enough crystal coins, you can also taste Dongting mitten crabs in the black market which has been banned long ago—people who have not tasted them can never know how delicious they are just from the description.
For the sake of air quality, the bus and subway in all directions have been built in this paradise. In addition to the vehicles of government, army and necessary transportation for residents’ lives, private vehicles are prohibited from entering here. The rules have become looser and looser in two hundred years but every federal citizens still take pride in being able to apply for a residence of Dongting city.
Crystal Coins are actually a kind of virtual credit line. Every federal citizen will be bound by a personal computer. The personal computer replaces the ID card and bank card before the new era. As for how to get crystal coins, in addition to doing odd jobs in the city, hunting out of the city and killing mutant monsters is the fastest way to get them.
Crystals inside mutant monsters are a source of energy for city operation and the fur can be made into clothes. The meat is even the main food for mankind on the earth.
The difficulties in food and clothing are just temporary. When humans gradually recover from disasters, they discover that the lack of civilization is far more terrible than the lack of food and clothing.
As science and technology advanced earlier, paper books were called to stop because they were not environmentally friendly. However, the electronic database was almost destroyed in the war. When people fought with the Alpha Alliance and mutant monsters on the earth, they would not care about yellowing paper books.
Civilization almost collapses… If there had not been a huge database as backup in Huaxia, perhaps people on the earth would have had to pa.s.s on knowledge by word of mouth again. Because of this, books become very important today in the new era of 301.
On the afternoon of July 9, 301, in the Dongting Library, the most splendid building in Dongting City, there are some small electronic reading rooms. A beautiful woman takes off the reading gla.s.ses and says thanks to a blushed teenager beside her.
“I really have to thank you. There is something wrong with my personal computer and I can’t use crystal coins. Without your kind help, I can’t find the information today as I wish.”
The teenager’s face becomes redder. The young woman in front of him is not extremely beautiful. Her appearance is not top-notch compared to the humans in the new era of evolution. However, her eyes flicker brightly, lighting up some of her soft and beautiful facial features.
More importantly, he always feels that this young woman looks familiar, which makes him feel at ease.
The young woman checks how much it costs on the crystal screen. She is a little embarra.s.sed for the one hundred crystal coins. It is really expensive to read books at this era. She thinks about it and takes out a mutant monster bolus to give it to the teenager.
There is a touch of bright blue in the gray in this bolus. The teenager feels really curious. His personal computer has a function of checking inner boluses. He scans it and almost drops the bolus because of the stunning number.
The full value is 100 and the value of this thing is 81 which means this is the inner bolus of a Rank Eight mutant monster. The official price is 10,000 crystal coins, not to mention the black market price.
It’s just reading for less than half an hour and it doesn’t take so much money. The teenager looks up and wants to return the inner bolus to the young woman. However, he finds that he is the only one left in the single small reading room.
The teenager feels a little lost. For the first time he knows what rich means. It is really exciting.
He remembers her sister is now 14 years old but she has not injected the gene evolution fluid. This Rank Eight inner bolus means more money than that he has saved in these years. The teenager suddenly feels happy about how generous this woman is.
The teenager holds this valuable inner bolus in his hand. He can’t focus on reading so he just walks out of the Dongting Library. Leaving this landmark 100-storey building, he waits for five minutes before the maglev bus comes. The young boy jumps on the bus swiftly.
On the halfway, he holds the bolus tightly in his hand and he feels the young woman is more and more familiar.
Well, where has he seen her?
He looks out of the window and sees the lake near green willows. He is stunned suddenly.
Ah, she looks like Mortal Heart Fairy!
The teenager freezes and can’t help crying out. He sees some inquiring eyes from other pa.s.sengers in the bus and he quickly lowers his head. Maybe she just looks like her? After all, the fairy who has not appeared for so many years is more like a legend of the old era.
The teenager can’t help thinking of the history textbooks he read when he was spoon-fed.
As recorded, after the Earth Defense War, human beings were in desperation and there were heroes from all parts of the world and Huaxia. Even without mentioning active cultivators or big event like turning on the Shelter of G.o.ds, Mount Jun itself was very mysterious.
It’s said that in addition to the Mortal Heart Fairy on Mount Jun, the two ancient Xiaoxiang concubines also showed themselves.
He has never witnessed those legends with his own eyes. Similarly, although Mortal Heart Fairy didn’t show up in the past, she has sheltered the 800-mile Dongting, leaving the world available fresh water and arable land. Believers also prove that when fighting with mutant monsters, there would be a warm flow in their body to support them escape from death in the critical moment.
More and more Huaxia people who survived believe in the existence of Mortal Heart Fairy. In the era when faith almost collapsed, their faith supported them through the most difficult war and reconstruction years.
However, two or three hundred years have pa.s.sed and the Mortal Heart Fairy has not appeared even once. In his generation, there are fewer and fewer devout believers—human beings have entered the interstellar age. It’s really hard to make the younger generation superst.i.tious.
