Chapter 704: Five Years Later
,
spnIn 1969, five full years had passed since the expedition fleet's triumphant victory.
"Five years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the empire has finally risen to half its height."
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Zhang Shusheng is in a very good mood. There is a new atmosphere in the empire. Science and technology, education, industry and commerce are all developed. Martial arts are spreading smoothly. The genetic modification and brain development plan has also completed the second phase of the goal. The average intelligence index of the people
There has been a magnitude improvement, and the average life expectancy has also increased from 754 years ago to 955 years.
Compared with 1959, all school-age children under the age of 25 in the empire received formal and systematic new-era teaching represented by virtual teaching.
Compared with 1959, the empire's genetic modification has changed from only targeting young people under the age of 30 to targeting citizens of all ages, and brain development has changed from only targeting primary and secondary school students to targeting young people under the age of 30.[
Zhang Shusheng exhaled a breath of vitality, and the glass in front of him suddenly reflected like a mirror. In the mirror, he seemed to be in his thirties, looking mature and steady. Although the emperor's uniform was not luxurious, it was very chic.
It snowed in Hanking this year. People hoped to see a heavy snowfall in the south, so the meteorological department sent an artificial snowfall. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, which was considered a good sign.
Looking at the white snow falling outside, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but have some thoughts, "Meet Mr. Mao Yun from the Royal General Office."
The fully automatic intelligent brain quickly connected to Mao Yunxian's communication.
"Xian Yun, please adjust your work for the past two days. I have something important to do and I won't be working for the next two days."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Mao Yun didn't dare to ask why at first. He just felt that His Majesty's sudden absence from the office was a little weird. Could it be that as the news said, the royal family intended to create new people this year, and His Majesty decided to spend more time with the imperial concubines.
"Be careful, are you going out?"
Fu Huiyu came in and saw Zhang Shusheng opening the wardrobe and looking for clothes inside, so he knew he wanted to go out for a walk.
Every year, she and her two sisters would take turns to go out with her husband to relax and relieve the huge pressure of building an empire. But most of the time, the spaceships would come and go. When they were far away, they would go to Changqing Star, and the furthest one was even to the Changqing Star.
The Empire’s fourth living planet, Song Yangxing.
As the empire's newly developed life planet, Song Yangxing attracted great attention from the beginning. It only took the empire two years to complete some necessary transformations of the planet. It was necessary to repair the earthquake zone, dispel some weird poisonous gas miasma, and round up some ferocious beasts.
, constructing water conservancy projects, etc.
These are basic tasks, and people cannot be immigrated there. First, they will be attacked by beasts the size of dinosaurs, or they will accidentally enter the forest and be knocked down by poisonous miasma. Then, if they are unlucky, there will be a huge earthquake or a huge flood.
The empire spent two years repairing this pristine planet.
Among the four life planets currently disclosed by the empire, the Earth is the most mature capital planet, and the Avatar planet is a high-end economic crop cultivation planet. Although the scenery is very beautiful, it can host a population of one to two hundred million without destroying the original ecology.
The limit has been reached, and the number of indigenous people is huge. Considering the issues of ethnic integration and coexistence, it is necessary to immigrate a large number of people, but not too many. A balance must be maintained.
Changqing Planet is a vast territory, and it is currently the largest breeding planet in the empire. It also has a large population. Its scenery is not as good as that of Earth and Songyang Star, but it is the best choice for leisure and vacation, as well as for purchasing land and building a manor.
"Well, I'm going to go out alone and feel the new atmosphere of the New Year."
Zhang Shusheng is not going to take his wives with him this time. If he does take them with him, they will probably just watch the show. Just imagine, a handsome man may just attract attention wherever he goes, but if he takes one or two graceful beauties with him,
What's the point of being distracted? You're completely surrounded by people watching.
"It's okay. Sister Ning is a little sick recently. I'll spend more time with her. Sister Ning is busy with work."
Fu Huiyu considerately helped Zhang Shusheng choose an outfit, a simple mountaineering outfit and a pair of imitation military boots. This outfit was the first choice for long-distance travelers.
Zhang Shusheng didn't waste any time, put on his clothes, went directly into the underground passage, used a command to open the defensive door from a secret exit, opened an inconspicuous door, and appeared in the urban area of Hanking.[
Today's Hanking is already a highly developed city. However, as the concept of the empire's capital star is getting stronger and stronger, the concept of the city is weakening, and the concept of the planet as a big city is taking shape.
Like all advanced civilizations, the capital planet will eventually develop together. Every area has a high price, and there are no suburbs at all.
"The traffic situation has completely stopped. The action of Laguxing really had a far-reaching impact."
The entire city of Hanking is completely different from what it was five years ago. High-rise buildings hundreds of meters high are everywhere. The original ground streets have long been replaced by three three-dimensional pedestrian streets near the ground, which are reserved as nostalgia.
If the entire city is calculated in terms of area, it has completely covered the concept of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai on the ancient map. It will be further expanded in the next step. In the ultimate plan, the entire mainland will become the most prosperous central district of the future capital star.
"Go to the southwest."
Zhang Shusheng has not been back to the southwest for a while. Although the transportation is very convenient and it only takes a few minutes to get on the spaceship, as the emperor, travel is not a trivial matter. It involves too many aspects and delays the local high-speed economic construction.
The year before last, he and his three wives attended the celebration of the transformation of the Chengdu, Chongqing and Yiyi Districts into the Southwest District.
In the plan, there are several districts below the central district, among which the southwest will be the name of the future district, which is a huge city.
Taking Chengyuyi as the central area and the entire southwestern area to build a new area is also a quite large undertaking.
This is Zhang Shusheng’s expected first stop.
Carrying his travel bag, he took the bus elevator directly to the station on Fifth Avenue. Although the speed of this gravity elevator is not very fast, it is very stable, energy-saving, and has a very low failure rate.
In the city's planning, the three streets near the ground are pedestrian streets, and the fourth-level avenues are the transportation hub. The fourth-level avenues are mainly for urban traffic, and the fifth-level avenues are for medium and long-distance transportation.
There are not many people on the speeding platform, because there are too many speeding flights, millions of speeding cars, even after a large number of them are stored, the entire empire still uses speeding cars.
Express train 5112 will soon arrive at the station and will drive all the way to the long-distance airship station.
The process of getting on the bus is very simple, just swipe the card. The instrument just scans Zhang Shusheng's information and passes. The speed bus is a completely free public facility and does not cost money. The scanning of getting on the bus is more for criminals and people with abnormal physical or mental conditions.
, discover in advance.
This is a 15-seater medium-sized flying car. It is very stable. People greet each other enthusiastically, watch the on-board TV on the flying car, and discuss news and movies.
"Young man, where are you going?"
"Long-distance spaceship station, prepare to go to the southwest."
"What a coincidence, we are also going to a long-distance spaceship station, but we are going to go fishing in the Arctic."
Sitting next to Zhang Shusheng was a middle-aged couple in their fifties, who greeted him warmly. Zhang Shusheng felt ordinary after a long absence and chatted with them casually.
Spaceship flights were launched in the North Pole a few years ago. Many people go there for travel. Of course, there are also many couples who go fishing like this. It is so convenient. Even if the passenger spaceship uses new nuclear energy, the entire flight will not last long.
A little over 1 hour.[
In a few minutes, the train arrived at the long-distance spaceship station.
Zhang Shusheng said goodbye to the middle-aged couple, asked for their phone number, and said that they might go back to the North Pole and go fishing together. The couple took advantage of their vacation and planned to spend a few days in the North Pole.
Long-distance airship tickets are very cheap, and they only maintain a minimum operating cost. Unlike urban transportation, which is completely free, this kind of long-distance transportation still has to be charged.
Zhang Shusheng successfully bought a reliable ticket. This self-produced spaceship is an intra-atmospheric spacecraft. The spacecraft has huge landing sides on the left and right sides, and the scenery is very good.
Zhang Shusheng sat down and passengers were being loaded into the cabin one after another.
Looking out from Zhang Shusheng's perspective, he could see the entire long-distance spaceship station, with dozens of intraplanetary spacecrafts undertaking transportation tasks from Hanking to all parts of the world.
As a key area, the southwest area has a spaceship flight every hour.
Soon, the passenger flow started to arrive, and the spacecraft closed its hatch and prepared to take off.
"Huh?"
Zhang Shusheng suddenly heard a low sobbing sound from the spacecraft. He turned around and saw that it was a female student with a delicate appearance. It was obvious that she was a beautiful girl, but her clothes were too ordinary, even very simple.
The girl was looking down at her phone, pursed her lips tightly, and cried softly.
This is an old communication phone without virtual call function, and its overall performance is about the same as the smartphones in the memory of later generations.
Today, with the rapid advancement of technology, virtual mobile phones have become the first choice for many people. A mobile phone is equivalent to a small optical computer. Of course, if it is more expensive, you can just buy a watch-type optical computer.
The girl was poorly dressed, and her mobile phone was an old-fashioned smartphone. Her expression was miserable, and she looked like her family was in a bad situation and she had encountered difficulties.
It has to be said that there will be poor people in any era. This is not because Zhang Shusheng does not want to solve it, but once the class differentiation and the gap between rich and poor are completely solved, this race will fall into another strange circle of "euthanasia".
For example, with genetic modification, everyone can enjoy ordinary modifications. If you want mid-to-high-level modifications, you have to pay or exchange them with empire credits.
He carefully observed the girl next to him, and even sensed it with the vitality in his body. She had received basic training in martial arts, gene injections and brain development. It could be said that she had enjoyed every citizen welfare.
The effect of genetic modification is considered to be above average. Although the brain development is not particularly excellent, it has developed great potential and is a growth genius.
Why does such a college girl who should be worried look so sad?
"Can I help you with anything?"
