Chapter 227: Changes in Reality
Very soon, a few days passed.
With "The World" as the entrance to the Otherworld, it was confirmed.
Even Zhu Zhengwei, who was attending classes in Mountain City as a college student, felt a societal shift.
Countless people were discussing "The World," and countless others openly brought it out for research, analyzing and scrutinizing various events and details.
However, as a real world, it was naturally open to scrutiny.
Various technologies, civilizations, races, and beliefs inside it began to be studied by countless sociologists, chemists, and biologists.
Moreover, humanity quickly reached a conclusion.
"Under the current circumstances, the Magnetic Civilization has not yet developed space jump technology. To reach our Earth, it will take a long time."
"The Large Magellanic Cloud is 160,000 light-years away from us! What does that mean? Even with their invention of near-light-speed ships, it would take 1.6 million years to travel!"
"Human civilization is only five thousand years old, and from apes to humans, it has only taken us a few million years... Who knows what will happen in 1.6 million years? We might evolve from humans into superhumans..."
"From what we can see of the Magnetic Civilization, although we don't know how long ago the scenes are from, there is no appearance of space technology, theoretically, they can't reach here unless they have developed space jump technology, and even if so, we believe it would take a relatively long time to approach us."
"Decades to hundreds of years? Basically, it's not too close."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief hearing this.
Decades to hundreds of years?
Isn't that still a long time?
They suddenly recalled the science fiction novel "Three-Body," where the Three-Body civilization, even with ships at one-tenth the speed of light, would need 450 years to reach Earth...
And in those four hundred-plus years, Earth's humanity prepared for war, resisted the Three-Body civilization, began various technological booms, and entered the Crisis Era...
"Oh?"
"It might take decades, hundreds of years? Then it's fine."
"Right, it doesn't concern me, does it affect my plan to drive a Maserati tomorrow?"
"Anyway, it doesn't affect my overtime tomorrow, working hard to buy a villa for the boss."
...
Everyone sighed in relief and resumed their daily lives.
The most realistic view is...
The common belief among humans is: the hope of humanity lies in the next generation.
It is said that this year's college entrance exam essays have already started selecting materials in this direction. Many people guess that topics might be written based on this, after all, it follows current events closely.
The topics for Chinese essay selections have already become numerous.
Some schools have even started assigning English essay topics recently:
"Assuming you are a human representative, write a letter to the Magnetic Civilization, explaining the brilliance and virtues of humanity's 5,000-year civilization, to persuade them to abandon invading our Earth."
"Requirements: 1. About 80 words 2. Clear narration, smooth sentences, coherent meaning, 3..."
...
Ah, what??
Zhu Zhengwei browsed through various pieces of information online, feeling unsettled.
Simultaneously, the famous quotes in various essays also changed, previously it was Lu Xun, Edison... Now?
Essays quoting famous sayings:
"Shiguang, the Emperor of the Ancestral Witch World, once said, 'Mortals must accept their mediocrity, the strong must accept their death, it's the saddest thing in this world.'
Zhu Zhengwei was full of question marks as he read.
What is this...?
What is this...?
How truly realistic!
Unexpectedly, with the appearance of aliens, the first to be hit are the students! You must strive to study well to fight against aliens in the future.
How toxic.
Upon reflection, it indeed possesses a very realistic style.
For example, when Zeng Ciwen previously announced that humanity's biotechnology would leap hundreds of years, people's first reaction was how does it concern me? What concerns my life is the stock market!
——Brothers, the stock market is in trouble, quickly sell all the major pharmaceutical companies!
Now, the alien world is confirmed, and the first to suffer are students keeping up with current events? Various essay topics?
——Brothers, we must resist aliens for the children's future, creating a good educational environment!
Some people even started protesting.
Some said:
"There are three kinds of foolish birds in the world."
In the news, shouting in front of the White Palace, demanding freedom, that they should not be forced to give up joyful education to tackle Earth's crisis.
They demand freedom, even some radicals say they are willing to accept the Magnetic Civilization!
Some even started chanting slogans: "Eliminate human tyranny, Earth belongs to the Magnetic Civilization!"
Of course, this aspect of protest is one thing.
It is said that abroad, some people are already trying to find a way to enter "The World," calling for servers to be set up on their side as well, to be miners and meet humans from the Ancestral Witch World!
Moreover, some foreigners began to worship the Tear Mole God, forming a fervent sect, claiming that this is the Savior who will bless them.
"What kind of bizarre news is this..."
Zhu Zhengwei's eyelids twitched repeatedly, constantly scrolling through various online information, the development seems unreasonable but thinking it through, it seems quite logical, after all, reality is the most magical.
In Zhu Zhengwei's computer application department, teachers also began assigning homework related to this.
"Please design a simple AI logic program based on the combat footage of the Magnetic Energy Warrior."
Alright.
Zhu Zhengwei sighed.
Capitalists are the nature of humanity; they have started striving to cultivate their offspring with effort.
And the younger generation just entering college is catching up with the greatest era of progress.
As an ordinary student hidden within the school, Zhu Zhengwei could only be compelled to complete the assignments set by teachers, typing code while pondering, "They exploit me, it seems I must also exploit the miners more, letting them continue to dig the world map, the interstellar map of the Magnetic Civilization roaming space."
Zhu Zhengwei skipped over the magical reality, refocusing his attention on the Magnetic Civilization's ship.
