Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 526 The Third Vow
2049 10 Month 25 Day.

After Zhong Cheng finished dealing with the matter on Jupiter, he led the Jupiter Expeditionary Army back to Earth.

At the sky city space port above the earth, the Federation held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the army back in triumph.

On the third day, at Yuxian Peak in Kunlun City, Zhong Cheng presided over the public memorial ceremony for the soldiers of the Federation who died in the two solar system wars.

Kunlun City was built on the Kunlun Mountain Pass, not far from the Kunlun Mountain Pass. On the east and west sides, Yuxu Peak and Yuxian Peak, which were originally above 6000 meters above sea level, stand gracefully.

It's just that Yuxu Peak has now become the ground transfer center of the space ladder and the center of Kunlun City, while Yuxian Peak has been completely preserved and surrounded by the huge Kunlun City.

Now Yuxian Peak has been designated by the Federal Supreme Command as the cemetery of the federal martyrs, and a huge monumental monument piercing the sky has been erected on the peak, so that human beings will not forget to fight for the peace and survival of human beings from generation to generation. ancestors.

Although some people think that it is taboo to build cemeteries and monuments on the peaks in the center of Kunlun City.

But Zhong Cheng mercilessly denounced:
"We and our descendants can still live in this largest city of mankind, on the earth, and in the solar system, all these federation soldiers buried here exchanged their lives for it!"

"I just want their spirits in the sky to see how we lead mankind to greater glory. Their sacrifices are valuable!"

"At the same time, it always reminds us that peace for mankind is hard-won!"

August 10th at nine in the morning.

It snowed heavily in Kunlun City early, and the city's mountains and rivers were covered with plain onyx.

More than [-] people from all high-ranking members of the Federation, representatives from all walks of life in the military, and millions of people who came spontaneously participated in the commemoration.

In the more than 2000 human cities of the Federation throughout the solar system, billions of people gathered in various squares in the cities and lowered their flags at half-mast in silence.

Zhong Cheng took the lead in bowing to the monument!
Lu Yao, Sima Bei, Deng Yongxing, Wu Tie, Zheng Qingwu, Zhou Tuan, Zhang Gan and other old comrades-in-arms flashed in his mind, as well as countless known or unknown federal soldiers who died in the war.

He said silently in his heart, you can go at ease, I have lived up to your great trust and expectations, the Federation has won the final victory, and the people of the Huaxia People's Federation are safe!

I promise that I will never let the flames of war reignite on the earth and in the solar system in my lifetime!

……

On the third day after the public sacrifice, the Forgotten and Zerg troops were sent back to Venus, and the Federal Army General Headquarters also gave all soldiers a long vacation to go home and take turns to visit relatives and rest.

Zhong Cheng has other arrangements for the large-scale disarmament of the federal army after the end of the war. Let the soldiers enjoy the joy of victory first.

After returning to Earth, Zhong Cheng started his busy post-war work.

Kunlun City became the capital of the Federation, and the Kunlun Building became the administrative center of the Federation, Zhong Cheng's permanent office.

Zhong Cheng had already handed over the post-war reconstruction work to Yang Shuzhen and others, so he didn't have to worry about it. He personally handled several other major events.

At 10:1 p.m. on October 6st, the Dream World server, which had been out of service for more than a year, was restarted.

The people of the Federation happily flocked to the Dream World game, and the social order and people's hearts also stabilized.

The war has wiped out most of the original leisure and entertainment methods in human society, and Zhong Cheng has no intention of restoring some traditional leisure and entertainment industries.

Dream World integrates learning, entertainment, socializing, physical fitness and even work, and the occupation and consumption of social resources are extremely low.

As long as it is properly controlled, it is the real second world of human society, the spiritual world!

Dream World is too important to human beings. Zhong Cheng is personally responsible for the management of Dream World, but handed over the specific operations to Wang Anlin. His old friend is himself one of the developers and managers of Dream World.

During the war, Wang Anlin has been responsible for appeasement of the people, and also made due contributions to the victory of the war.

Originally, Zhong Cheng intended to let Liu Zhenquan take over, but Liu Zhenquan insisted on leaving with the Forsaken, so he had no choice but to give up.

For Liu Zhenquan, he has lived with the Forsaken for a long time, and he is the "god" of the Forsaken family. He has long been unable to adapt to the way of life of human society.

In fact, the most important thing is that Liu Zhenquan dreams of creating a mechanical civilization composed entirely of artificial intelligence life forms, similar to the Cybertron civilization that originated from Transformers.

It is definitely impossible in the solar system, so he plans to lead the Forsaken family to find a suitable planet in the Milky Way to develop, and has obtained the unanimous consent of the Forsaken high-level leaders such as Dongfang Bubai.

Of course, he definitely won't tell Zhong Cheng about his ambition.

……

At this time, the losses of the Federation or human society in the two solar system wars have been counted.

2042年7月18日，第一次太阳系战争爆发，到2049年10月1日第二次太阳系战争结束。

Over the past seven years, the total human population has dropped sharply from 98 billion to 37 billion, and more than half of the human race died in wars, mainly with the demons.

The composition of human society has undergone major changes!

East Asians with the Chinese ethnicity as the main body accounted for 67.5%, followed by Western races such as Europe and the United States, accounting for 25.3%, while other races added up to only 7.8%.

This is related to the fact that the demons have not been able to fully occupy the Eurasian continent. In particular, most of the people in eastern Asia fled to the Qinghai-Tibet region to survive.

Humans in South Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia and other regions were almost devastated.

Due to the widespread use of the Chinese language during the war, Chinese culture became the mainstream culture of the Federation and was recognized by the vast majority of human beings. The cultural conflicts in human society for thousands of years were finally concluded.

The war has completed the painful transformation of human society in the cruelest way, and the community of shared future for mankind has truly come true and turned from chrysalis into a butterfly.

Human civilization has formed a real civilization system on the basis of Chinese civilization. All human beings speak the same language, write the same characters, celebrate the same festivals, and follow similar customs with minor differences...

Zhong Cheng didn't expect that his oath back then would be fulfilled in this way, that human beings and China would become one, and China's rise and strength had been fully realized.

The long-standing knot no longer exists, and he made himself the third vow in life, leading mankind to fight for the right to survive in the galaxy and let mankind rise in the galaxy.

After experiencing the war with the demons, Zhong Cheng's attitude towards whether there are other civilizations in the universe has changed drastically.

He used to think that there must be other intelligent life and civilizations in the universe, but they should be so rare that humans have never discovered alien civilizations.

However, with the emergence of the Demon Race, the Zerg Race and the Forgotten Race, Zhong Cheng realized that there are many kinds of intelligent life other than humans, and the living environment may also be very different.

Human beings have been looking for the existence of extraterrestrial life on the so-called "livable planets" in alien galaxies based on their own standards.

This is very narrow, which has also led to the fact that the Federation has always ignored the anomalies in the development of the empire, and did not expect that alien intelligent life is at our doorstep.

This lesson is very painful!
