As winter deepens, it means the New Year is approaching. This year, just like last year, the micro-world will celebrate the New Year in separate camps.
However, there is one difference from last year.
Last year, everyone celebrated the Lunar New Year in separate camps in the virtual world, but in reality, the deceased gathered together.
This year, Chen Yang plans to continue this approach.
New Year's Eve dinner is still eaten separately by each family, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone gathers together.
This year, they gathered in places outside the borders.
Chen Yang arranged for the military camp to build them a steel-framed glass house by a small lake outside the border, much like a glass pyramid, albeit with a much simpler structure.
Moreover, he always builds large ones, the kind that can accommodate one or two thousand people.
The Outer Boundaries can connect to reality, which is much more convenient.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to the existing entrances, Chen Yang will add many more entrances to ensure that every resident can come over.
There are only so many regions in China, and a dozen or so entrances are enough to cover many places, so it's not particularly difficult for the people of the world to gather together.
As for those from overseas, Chen Yang couldn't help them; he couldn't possibly open a separate entrance for everyone. Let those who want to come come on their own.
Besides, people abroad don't celebrate the Chinese New Year either.
Chen Yang proposed the plan more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the glass house had already started construction even earlier. Given China's construction speed, it should be completed before the Chinese New Year, as it is not a structurally complex building.
As for the food, apart from a few main dishes, Chen Yang does not plan to let the residents cook for themselves this year, as they cannot manage it all, and it would be difficult for those who participate in making the New Year's Eve dinner to sit at the table with everyone.
You can order food directly from the hotel; it will be delivered in a trolley via a teleportation portal, ensuring it's still piping hot.
The people of the world certainly agreed with this.
The micro-world is getting more and more lively every year. The Breaking Ground Festival just passed not long ago, and it feels like we're already starting to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
With over three hundred, nearly four hundred, members of the community, coming from all over the country and from all walks of life, it was quite a unique gathering.
Only Microworld can bring together so many people from different social classes and backgrounds.
From Chinese leaders and global billionaires to ordinary workers in a company and farmers in a rural area, everyone gathered together for a meal.
Moreover, everyone is equal in status and is a citizen of the same realm, so there is no particular sense of discomfort.
He only felt a little uncomfortable around people like Zhang Guoan; he could get along very naturally with everyone else.
The years in the micro-world are different from year to year, which also represents the changes in the micro-world from year to year.
Compared to last year, the changes this year haven't been as significant. As civilization becomes more stable, changes tend to decrease year by year.
However, that was for the people of Jiemin; for Chen Yang, it was a fundamental change.
This year, he learned about some of the essence of the micro-world and the outer realms, and understood some of the relationships between the two.
More importantly, he learned from the micro-world that Earth was in danger of destruction.
If the destruction of the world isn't a big deal, then what is?
While the Chinese leaders remained skeptical, he was not; he absolutely believed what the micro-world said.
In the universe, perhaps some kind of being has already noticed Earth and is heading this way. They can no longer simply look up at the stars and speculate about the existence of extraterrestrials as they used to.
According to official statistics, the Earth's population is only around eight billion. He never expected that the official statistics would differ from the actual Earth population by such a large margin, a difference of two billion, which was simply unbelievable.
However, since Weijie said so, he chose to believe it.
Within a century, humanity is highly likely to face the crisis of annihilation.
He can no longer face everything as naturally as he used to.
The land beyond the boundary belongs to him, and the land beyond the boundary is humanity's Noah's Ark, so the responsibility he bears is exceptionally heavy.
China has already copied the data and transferred it to places outside the border. This is not a difficult task; it's just a matter of moving a supercomputer with a huge storage capacity.
In addition to data, China is also preparing some precious resources, and many artificially improved plant seeds and plants are being transplanted to places outside the border.
If the apocalypse really happens, human civilization can continue even in places beyond the boundary, and human history will be preserved intact.
Although it's difficult to restore things to their current state, at least all the knowledge remains, and that's the most important thing.
They can't ask too much of a Noah's Ark.
They still attach great importance to space exploration, whether it is to cope with potential future challenges, search for new habitable planets, or evacuate some people from Earth. Space exploration is essential.
They understand that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
Regardless of whether or when a crisis will occur, they must prepare in advance and have multiple contingency plans.
Treating the outer realms as Noah's Ark would be tantamount to entrusting all of humanity to Chen Yang, which is far too risky. Even if they trust Chen Yang, they would still hesitate.
Moreover, is the land beyond the boundary necessarily safe and able to protect humanity?
Therefore, they must make other plans: find new life-bearing planets, wander through space to preserve the human race, or fight to the death.
These are all things they need to consider.
Technological advancements may not be able to achieve this now, but that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future.
The speed of human progress is unimaginable.
Human potential is often unleashed to its fullest extent, especially during times of crisis.
Although war is something no one wants to see, it is undeniable that war is the strongest catalyst for human progress.
They are not necessarily defenseless against aliens.
The aerospace industry and the military industry should also be developed.
China even generously shared some of its technology with other countries, promoting their progress.
Of course, there's a reason for this. Chen Yang caused a huge uproar in the US last time, which brought China great gains but also made it a thorn in the side of many countries.
This is an attempt to win over certain countries, so that those countries that are eyeing the situation with covetous intent will not dare to act, nor will they have an excuse to do so.
A country must carefully consider any action it takes.
Chen Yang understood these things, so he simply informed China without demanding that China take any specific action.
He developed the land beyond the boundary, proving his sincerity, and China then began to measure and prepare for the development of the land beyond the boundary.
Whether or not a global crisis occurs, it will be a good thing for China.
Although Chen Yang knew he bore a heavy responsibility, he also understood that his strength was limited; he could not explore the universe or obtain information from the entire world.
He still needs to rely on China. Until China makes any discoveries, he should just live his life quietly.
A hundred years... who knows when danger will strike?
