    On the one hand, the emergence of magma brought a large amount of additional heat sources to the ground. A large amount of hot air and water vapor began to enter the atmosphere, participating in the atmospheric circulation of the entire earth, causing the temperature to rise sharply in some areas. On the other hand, a large amount of volcanic ash also  Being carried into it, this dust blocked a large amount of sunlight and caused an abnormally cold climate to begin to occur in some areas.  ¨R¨R

    July is supposed to be the hottest time of the year in eastern Asia, but because it is close to the coast, a large amount of water vapor and volcanic ash dust condense into a huge black iron plate in the air, causing the temperature in these areas to plummet to the point of ten  A few days later, the two largest rivers in country Z, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, were completely frozen.

    At the same time, the "strengthened" Southeast Asian airflows arrived in central Asia. Just a few days later, in Xinjiang, black rainstorms mixed with volcanic ash had formed a small lake at the lowest point of the Taklimakan Desert, and in Xinjiang  In Tibet, heavy rainfall has cooled the magma spreading on the ground, forming large tracts of new mountains. As new magma continues to gush out, the temperature of these mountains is also increasing, and the water vapor that has evaporated twice in the process has even  They began to cross the Earth's largest natural chasm, the Everest Mountains, and finally reached the Ganges Plain in India. The resulting "mudslides" began to bury entire Indian cities underground.

    For the coalition forces, the recent period has been even more difficult than during previous wars. Due to the loss of ground supplies and the continuous consumption of stored food and drinking water, many underground cities have begun to show signs of famine. On the one hand, governments of various countries have drastically reduced everyone's rations.  Distributing rations, and on the other hand, began to search for any possible source of food. Now, within the coalition space stations, all public areas with little use have begun to be planted with crops with higher yields such as corn and potatoes.

    But this is only a drop in the bucket after all. There is only so much food in total. Eat less. At this time, two different voices have begun to appear within the coalition. Some countries with relatively sufficient food believe that they want to feed these few people with the existing food of the coalition.  It is simply impossible to reach one billion people. Instead of everyone dying together in the end, it is better to make a decision from now on, that is, to abandon most of the people. If this number is reduced to more than a billion, or even hundreds of millions or tens of millions,  That¡­¡­

    At first, this opinion was only discussed privately by a few representatives, but as the problem intensified, it was finally brought to the table at a meeting to adjust food - whether all people will die in a while or some people will die immediately, this has become  Problems that humans have to face.

    Feng Jingting attended the meeting as a representative of Carmel. During the voting, he abstained from voting as a representative of Carmel, but he also said that the food problem "may" not be as serious as everyone imagined. The forward of the Carmel Army  He has arrived on Earth a few days ago and occupied the two extra planes. Now the entire planet is empty. The emperor did not destroy those planes as everyone thought at the beginning. Carmel is currently organizing manpower to work on the two planets.  The non-irradiated areas (which have been bombed before) have begun to try agricultural cultivation. If the situation is ideal, the first harvest will be available in a few monthsbut the amount may not be too large, and of course it will gradually increase over time.  Expand the scale, but this expansion

    In other words, Carmel only expressed their optimism about the long term, but the coalition is now discussing an imminent issue. In a few months, the world will face the problem of total starvation-in a month or two  Still based on ideal conditions, there are nearly 20 million enemies who are destroying it all the time. In space, there have been several cases where enemies desperately used magic to rush into the space station, carrying gasoline bottles with them to wreak havoc. The coalition forces estimate that they  They want to burn the food, but in space the food is stored in a vacuum environment outside the space station. For real "vacuum preservation", let alone they can't find it, even if they find it, they can't burn it because there is no oxygen at all, but  These signs have shown that the enemy has begun to notice the food problem of the people on earth. Now they can't do anything, but it does not mean that they will not be able to do anything in the future. Anna mentioned that if she were the enemy, the easiest way to destroy it would be to find a random source from the ground radiation zone.  Just mix the sand and soil evenly into the grain with magic

    However, the meeting was delayed in the end. Most countries had the same attitude as Carmel and abstained from voting. Obviously abandoning morality is more difficult to decide than abandoning the earth. Several representatives even said fiercely: "  What is the difference between depriving some people of food in the name of survival at a meeting and the enemy openly eating the bodies of the same kind? In my opinion, this method adopted by the enemy is more frank! At least they did not waste it!"

    This is how the enemy's remaining 20 million people solve the food problem - now on the entire earth, except for the weeds in the fields and the bodies of their compatriots, there is almost nothing they can eat. Even if they want to eat the prisoners of the earth, they will do so.  Not surprisingly, the coalition forces were originally optimistic.He said that the Imperial Army who lost their logistics did not need to encircle and suppress them. They would collapse soon, but after half a month they knew they were wrong. The enemy was collapsing, but the degree of collapse was much lower than they expected.

    Entering August, the war ushered in the most tragic period in history. After the ground was already a sea of ????fire and the value of destruction was lost, the enemy began to turn its attention to space and underground cities, especially underground cities, and a large number of enemy suicides began to appear.  Sexual attack - dozens or even hundreds of people appear at the same time, fighting for their lives, opening a small hole in space. Unlike the previous method of drawing magma from the ground, this time the enemy is reintroducing the magma from the ground into the ground.  , the gravitational potential energy difference of several kilometers caused magma to spew out like an explosion. While causing fires, it also sharply increased the air temperature in the entire underground city. In many cities, a large number of residents were affected by this high temperature because they failed to stop it in time.  Roasted alive by the scorching steam.

    At the same time, more and more emperors have appeared in Carmel. The Carmelites have even prepared a large number of nuclear bombs before, but they have never had the chance to use them. The enemy has obviously known for a long time that they are unable to resist, and now they are all  has disappeared, and the only ones left in these planes are some sporadic natives of the plane. They are all people who took refuge nearby. As soon as the emperor's rule ended, they couldn't wait to return to their homes. Carmel had no choice but to  A protected area was specially designated for these natives, and then they began to pursue forward without stopping

    The behavior of the emperor's army on Earth shows that he has never had the idea of ????an armistice. In Ivan's view, words such as peace and armistice simply do not exist in the minds of the imperial people, and they have a large number of captives on the earth. It can be said that  , every second of relaxation now is one more risk in the future, especially high-dimensional technology, which is purely "on paper" technology. Apart from magic, it does not require any technical foundation. With a population base as large as the emperor, if  They have mastered this technology and in turn are fighting this kind of "space guerrilla warfare". Carmel and the coalition forces are simply unable to resist it. Therefore, let alone the enemy's temporary ceasefire request, even if there is such a request, Carmel will not agree - using Iraq  In other words, unless the emperor is willing to surrender unconditionally, this war will never end.

    The repeated crises in the underground city forced the coalition forces to invest most of their magical power in immigration, moving from the underground of the earth to the underground of the emperor's plane (compared to the surface, several of the biggest advantages of underground cities are their relative independence.  It is easy to construct and is not affected by the ground climate and germs. Many places in these planes still have a large number of germs and viruses that were used before on Earth). However, the coalition is not an empire, and the scale of magic use is limited. It must always be used to destroy the enemy.  , so the immigration rate is very slow. In two weeks from late July to mid-August, less than tens of millions were transferred - compared with billions of people, this number can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

    By late August, the problem of food shortage began to spread. Even in Carmel, stricter food management laws began to be implemented: except for food for human consumption, food must not be used for any other purpose, including raising animals and pets.  and for industrial use.  In the earth¡¯s underground cities, people who don¡¯t have enough to eat every day begin to think hard about what they can eat. Expensive pet dogs, like mice, soon become delicacies on the plates of the first batch of early adopters. Some people even begin to consciously and secretly eat them.  Hide your own brand-name leather coats and bags for emergencies.

    In early September, under the huge pressure of food supply, the coalition forces had to announce another reduction in personal rations - at this time, an adult's daily ration was less than two hundred grams, which could basically keep one person from starving to death in the short term. Before  Fat people, who have always been despised by everyone, have become the envy of everyone. The fat on their bodies has become the best food reserve when they are hungry. Many thin people cannot even walk if they eat the same food for a month. But for them  I just lost a lot of weight.

    The decline in food reserves and the increase in new grain production have never been completely consistent. Late September is the beginning of this gap - many food aid organizations have appeared in Carmel, calling on people who have the conditions to save food as much as possible to support compatriots on the earth.  , there is a "food love box" next to the canteen of every space station in Carmel, but even the people of Carmel don't have much spare time to show love. Compared with the earth, the people of Carmel are just "  It¡¯s just ¡°enough to eat¡±, and far from being a waste.

    Half a month later, bad news and good news came one after another - the grain seeds planted by various countries in the new plane showed symptoms of failure to sprout. After inspection, it was because the cosmic radiation in these planes was far away, causing the seeds to die. The coalition forces  The plan to immigrate to the surface of these planes had to be abandoned and the farmland was planned underground. However, this meant that the harvest time was further expanded and the harvest scale was further reduced At the same time, Carmel's first batch of grain in the plane  There was a harvest, but it was far from a bumper harvest because this batch of food was not planned by Carmel (Carmel.The worst plan at the beginning was not to collect grains for a few years, and all policies were calculated based on this premise), so the famine was relatively alleviated.

    ¡­¡­

    While solving the internal problems of the earth, Carmel has not relaxed its pursuit of the emperor. The high-dimensional positioning project has been listed by Carmel as a national strategic project. As the scale of this project becomes larger and larger, the new dimension  The discovery speed is getting faster and faster. In some planes, the Carmelites have already caught the tail of most of the empire's retreat

    But after continuing the pursuit, the Carmelites discovered that the enemy's subsequent plane was no longer the usual plane with planets, but the kind of shelters as Ivan described - except that these shelters were quite huge.  , the enemy left a small group of spellcasters in these shelters as a hindrance. After clearing these enemies, the Carmelites began to discover that the enemies were gradually giving up their plans for huge shelters. They began to break into pieces and began to attack the surrounding areas.  Numerous planes have excavated many pocket space stations. This behavior of the enemy has brought great difficulties to Carmel's pursuit, because no one knows which direction the emperor is escaping from, and with Carmel's magical efficiency, if in all directions  Digging and pursuingthat is definitely not as fast as the Empire's digging and escaping.

    The pursuit of the empire had to be temporarily put on hold, and Carmel began to redirect its magic resources to food production. At the same time, it also began to increase cooperation with the coalition forces to encircle and suppress the remnants of the army still on the earth. At this time, 20 million people passed through tens of thousands of people.  Less than half of the lunar "eclipse" and the confrontation with the coalition forces are left. Most of these seven to eight million people huddle in simple caves dug underground, as well as some occupied human underground cities. From time to time they come out to harass underground cities and go to orbit.  The space station is engaged in destruction. These caves are distributed in the global crust, making it difficult for the coalition forces to detect and clean up. In some underground cities they occupied, AI even helped them restore magical defenses - but they were used to deal with them.  Allied forces, this sign made Ivan regret his actions at that time - it is conceivable how far the escaped emperor could achieve with the help of AI.

    But AI does not only play a negative role. In many underground cities, AI has now become the planner of specific urban affairs and an indirect participant in production activities - AI is almost a living encyclopedia. With its help  , can train a person who knows nothing about it to become a qualified worker or farmer within a few days, and those with some foundation can even become professional technicians.

    ¡­¡­

    Because of this war, many countries lost their territory forever. As the size of the enemy gradually shrank, the proportion of the coalition's military affairs became smaller and smaller. In the end, it naturally became a huge political organization, somewhat similar to the United Nations.  , but its power is much greater than that of the United Nations, because it controls almost all national power-except Carmel.

    Carmel is currently in a relatively safe position among the coalition forces, because the basic factor for the cooperation between the coalition forces and Carmel - that is, the exchange of technology for magic has become smaller and smaller. During the famine, Carmel only relied on rice and bread.  , we can obtain first-class scientific and technological talents that even missile carriers could not grab a few years ago.  The status of the two has gradually evolved from the previous equal cooperation to Carmel's unilateral support of the coalition forces - whether it is agriculture, industry or magic, Carmel's scale is far greater than that of the coalition forces in space. Most importantly, in  In the field of high-dimensional positioning, Carmel has a complete first advantage. Although various countries have developed this technology, it has to be completely restricted to operate under Carmel's specifications. In addition, Ivan is very interested in magic.  Take full control of this¡­

    Not to mention, the weapons that Carmel had prepared for this war at the Lagrange point - Ivan had never expected the emergence of high-dimensional technology. His long-term pessimism about this war made him early  Just thinking about what will happen if Carmel fails - on the one hand, he stubbornly develops Carmel in the plane, and on the other hand, he focuses on the entire solar system. In Ivan's view, the Empire still has  It is far from capable of large-scale cross-planetary combat (the distance is too long), and at the scale of the solar system, sunlight is obviously more suitable as a weapon than nuclear bombs, and the simplest way to use it has been discovered by people on earth thousands of years ago -  ¡ªThe Space Gate Array project is codenamed Archimedes Mirror in Carmel.

    Three thousand giant space gates are like three thousand huge magic mirrors in space. In normal times, they are responsible for transmitting sunlight to the agricultural plane of Carmel. But in wartime, under the unified deployment of computers, they  It is possible to focus light to any point in the front direction of the Earth, even in geosynchronous orbit. After Carmel publicly demonstrated this weapon to the coalition forces, representatives from various countries were shocked. This means that the entire Earth, even  The entire solar system is living under the guns of the Carmelites. The most important thing is that this "gun" is a purely magical effect, just like a space box. If they don't rely on magic, the coalition forces have no way to destroy it.  This also means that even if the future coalition hopes to get rid of Carmel's control and is willing to let go,??It is probably impossible for magic to go into space relying on technology. From now on, the entire earth civilization will inevitably be shrouded in the shadow of Carmel.

    ¡­¡­

    Within 5 years, representatives from various coalition countries left the coalition one after another and joined the Consciousness Network Alliance. At this time, the Carmelites had used magic to introduce the atmosphere from the original empire and began to try to large-scale change the surface climate of Mars. However, the coalition forces  Because magic has always been restricted and still spinning on the earth and in orbit, Ivan has no intention of invading the cradle of earth civilization, but he also doesn't want them to come out with his own help.

    The pursuit of the empire has continued uninterrupted, but as time goes by, hope becomes increasingly slim. A Carmel astronomer put forward a theory. He believes that other "planes" have the same physical laws as our universe, so  In essence, it should be one. In order to verify this theory, he proposed to disseminate information to the entire universe in disguised form through the method of fixed cutting space frequencies in all "alternative planes".

    ¡­¡­

    50 years later, the Consciousness Network Alliance has spread throughout the solar system. A few years ago, Feng Jingting, who is in his later years, proposed a new navigation theory, which is to implement stellar-level navigation by continuously releasing space gates forward. His method  The idea was ridiculed as a "space galley" because a group of spellcasters need to be "paddled" in the spacecraft at all times. Now his idea has been improved and is considered to be the most effective way forward for the Consciousness Network Alliance - New  The idea is to discharge a galley like this, but the act of paddling is fixed - changing from a one-time space door to a permanent space door, through the overlap of countless space doors, reducing the space in disguise, which is equal to the space  Enhanced version of the door.  Originally this should have been an easy idea to think of, but unexpectedly it was delayed for 5o years.

    In this way, mankind has launched the first "fleet of galleys" outside the solar system and is preparing to build a "space subway" leading to Centaur A, with an estimated construction period of 15o years

    However, halfway through the construction of this channel, an unexpected news temporarily interrupted the project. A space station in the outer solar system detected a gravitational fluctuation that was emitted hundreds of years ago, which changed the astronomer's theory.  It was confirmed. Fortunately, because of genetic engineering technology, the astronomer was not dead yet and could receive the Nobel Prize during his lifetime.

    ??Another 150 years later, the construction of the space subway was completed. Through this passage, the "theoretical" degree of objects reached almost infinity, the light confinement was broken, humankind's enthusiasm for spaceflight was unprecedented, and civilization began to enter the galactic era.

    At this time, all aspects of AI technology have been fully mature, and the mature application of fusion engines has allowed the speed of "gallovers" to be increased to o.27c. Many people have begun to "organize groups" to go out for adventure, raising funds to buy ships on a scale of tens of thousands of people.  It has become a trend in the entire society, just like the great voyage of the year. Driven by private forces, new "railroads" are constantly being built.

    At this time, the eighth generation of Ivan has been born, but like all other descendants, they are not mage. The identity of the mage is now regarded by everyone as the biggest mystery. His many Sun is also in this trend.  He "sailed out to sea" with a group of people. Before setting off, he brought nothing but his best friend since childhood, an antique solid-state drive. Because there was everything on the spaceship, he originally suggested letting this man, who was said to have more than 200 people, go with him.  The year-old AI came to control the entire ship, but he refused. He said that he had no other talents except writing stories.

    Oh, speaking of stories, this AI has written many, many stories in his life, the most famous of which is the story about his ancestorsfather and the war 200 years ago, many of which have even been selected into textbooks.  , maybe it is for this reason that he has always found this story to be very troublesome to write, especially the few paragraphs that the teacher always asked to recite in the exam because every time it was difficult for him to write the story that looked similar to his own.  The older "guys" imagine themselves as their ancestors.

    But with my graduation, this headache has finally reached its end. To use the last sentence in kl33oo's book to describe it, that is "When I don't want to continue, I have reached my end."

    (Complete book)

    Finally: I forgive the hasty ending of this book, but I feel that I have actually written everything that should be written. It would not be very interesting to repeat it again and again. If I really write it, based on the content of this chapter plus AI, there will be no problem with another million.  , but you will feel tired of doing this. You still have to like it when writing a book, but the ending should not be considered a bad endingit leaves a lot of unexplained places. It's not that I dug a hole and forgot to fill it, but  The author believes that these questions should give everyone room for imagination. This book raises questions from beginning to end, which I think is very good. On the contrary, if every question has a corresponding answer, it seems very deliberate. After all, this is not  Detective story.

    ??Thank you to the readers and the website for their long-term support. When I started the first chapter two years ago, I never imagined that I would finish it one day. It was you whoIt gave me the motivation to continue, both mentally and materially, and it worked for me.

    As for the new book, I plan to write it in March, but there is no guarantee. If I write it, it will probably be science fiction (if you think this is it). I have read science fiction since I was a child. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I am only interested in science fiction.  .
