Chapter 922: Chapter 558: The Distorted Solar System_1
At this mont, Harrison Clark was unaware that two of his direct descendants had been born.
He had already started planning the next two hundred years of action for the external Morrowind Empire.
As Glen and Willian began their sowhat blind wait in the “confined” space, in the deep winter of 2520, amidst endless anxiety, the Solar System welcod the special day of January 1st.
Long before this, humanity had made full preparations for the arrival of this day.
Since 2512, Willian’s Devil Training Program had been enforced.
There were dissenting voices, but not many.
...
Interestingly, more than half of those who voiced opposition passed the first-class assessnt.
On the contrary, many third-class evaluators ca from those who obeyed without question.
Eventually, third-class evaluators accounted for 9.87% of the total population, and the training program was declared a perfect success.
Now, these people have all been placed in the Saturn Space Station, subject to the strictest control and pervasive surveillance.
Of course, this completely undermines personal freedom.
Although third-class humans can still engage in any activity they want, society and civilization no longer have any demands or expectations for them.
They can indulge themselves in pleasure and self-destruction, as long as they do not violate the existing laws of the space station and affect the freedom of others.
However, strangely enough, few of these people who lost their freedom actually fell into depravity. They simply changed their workplace location and continued working as usual.
In addition to their daily work, this group of people also insisted on high-intensity training, striving to beco at least second-class humans, if not first-class.
In addition to equipping everyone with a personal information collection system, the Disaster Prevention Departnt set up as many as 80 million multifunctional sensors in the Solar System to strictly guard against Z Bacteria, S Bacteria, and ZS Bacteria, and also rehearsed as many as a thousand different potential crises.
As soon as any abnormal situation arises, the Disaster Prevention Departnt will respond imdiately.
As early as three years ago, the entire monitoring system had been running around the clock.
In the Disaster Prevention Departnt’s headquarters on Earth, top officials such as Mason Howard, the highest executive officer of humanity, Maxwell Owen, the director of the Summit Research Institute, Smith Constantine, the commander-in-chief of the Solar System War, and William Green, the director of the Resource Allocation Departnt, and Carl Edwards, the richest man in the world, gathered together.
Everyone frowned, focusing on the feedback displayed by the three-dinsional projection of the sensors.
The clock on the wall showed 00:15 a.m.
Mason Howard: “There’s no response. Is there sothing wrong with our sensors, or has nothing really happened?”
As he asked this question, Mason Howard and the others’ gaze turned to Maxwell Owen.
Since Willian retired from the mountains, Maxwell Owen successfully absorbed the Grand Unified Theory, created the three-dinsional subspace, and continued to hold the position of the Chief Scientist of mankind after passing Harrison Clark’s personal space-ti topology control exam.
Now, at nearly 200 years old, Maxwell Owen has never stopped learning and absorbing knowledge, becoming a certified scholar of space-ti topology.
But Maxwell Owen was also baffled by Mason Howard’s question.
About thirty percent of the disaster prevention departnt’s plans ca from his drafts, but he never considered the possibility of nothing happening.
After hesitating for a while, Maxwell Owen said, “Perhaps the enemy has changed their tactics again, using a new type of attack we have never seen or even imagined.”
Smith Constantine wondered, “Attack? But there’s no change on any of us.”
Maxwell Owen’s assistant, Joel Vilen, a senior researcher at the Summit Research Institute, added, “Since we previously detected that the energy index of the Do is 10% higher than the information handed down by the prehistoric civilization, there should be so unusual changes.”
William Green: “We all know that sothing must be happening, but since we cannot determine what exactly is happening, why don’t we all just settle down and watch the changes?”Mason Howard agreed, “That’s right. Based on the experiences of our predecessors, perhaps the changes haven’t been significant enough. I believe that when problems accumulate to a certain extent, we will be able to react in ti.”
Maxwell Owen let out a long sigh, “All our preparations are for the purpose of nipping potential problems in the bud, don’t you think? Now it seems that we haven’t done enough.”
Three days later, the Disaster Prevention Departnt’s Unified Command Committee reluctantly declared the eting over.
Since all the precautionary asures had proven futile, all humanity could do was wait.
No one expected that the wait would be an excruciating five years.
But the situation people encountered after five years was extrely bizarre.
With a “rumbling” sound that seed to reverberate in everyone’s minds, it was as if so string had snapped.
Then, inexplicably, the entire Solar System “moved.”
Tests showed that Earth began accelerating towards the sun at a rate of one kiloter per second per hour.
Soon, intelligence from various detectors revealed that all eight planets and other celestial bodies within the Solar System were also approaching the sun at different rates of acceleration.
The magnitude of the acceleration varied with distance: the farther away, the greater the acceleration.
Not only that, but the volu of the sun and other celestial bodies was also shrinking quietly.
On average, the diater of the sun would decrease by 10 ters every second.
This seemingly subtle change revealed far more.
Just five minutes later, the physics research institute of Summit Science Academy presented a new hypothesis: the diater between atoms that form molecules, electron cloud diater, atomic nucleus diater, and quark oscillation amplitude all shrank with the passage of ti.
Moreover, the rate of shrinking was accelerating as ti went on.
Maxwell Owen drew a conclusion.
“This is different from the shrinking of the do in the past. In previous tilines, the compression of space by the do primarily altered the speed of light. However, this ti, the do has completely changed the fundantal laws of physics within the Solar System. Gravitational interaction, weak electromagnetic interaction, and strong interaction forces within the Solar System have all been distorted. According to calculations, all matter within the Solar System will be compressed into a palm-sized sphere in a hundred years. As for humans, they will all die in twenty years due to the increasingly unbearable pressure. The final form of matter within the Solar System will be a structure similar to the cores of the Egyptian tribe that the Third Advance Fleet brought back from the K Star. Our galaxy has been distorted.”
Mason Howard gritted his teeth, “Can we reverse this process of rule distortion?”
Maxwell Owen thought for a while and replied with three words, “I don’t know.”
Smith: “So, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?”
Maxwell Owen shook his head forcefully, “Of course not! The health assessnt system tells that I have five years left to live. I will complete as much work as possible in these last five years, based on the technology of three-dinsional subspace. However, the struggle that will follow must be undertaken by all of you.”
…
If outsiders like Harrison Clark, Glen, and Willian knew about Maxwell Owen’s conclusion,
Then both Harrison Clark and Willian would probably exclaim in unison,
Isn’t this just like becoming a thuselah Star core?
…
Just as one side arrived at a desperate conclusion, new bad news ca from the other side, in the space station located within Saturn’s ring orbit.
Third-class Evaluators were inexplicably committing suicide one after another.
That’s right, the ZS Bacteria had not been absent; it had only arrived five years late.
Since it couldn’t control these Third-class Evaluators to create rebellion, the ZS Bacteria simply aid to kill them all, seeking to reduce human productivity to the maximum extent.
