Chapter 1570: Three Years

Time flew quickly.

Three years passed in a glimpse.

In the past three years, Jiang Chen, who took DNA telomere extension agents, had hardly felt any changes to his body. If people did not check his ID, just from his youthful appearance, no one would even know that he was almost thirty years old.

Age was no longer relevant to him and his relatives, lovers, and mistresses. Even Liu Yao, who he only met occasionally, as well as the maid Qian Xia in Yoto, all received a gift marked as “beauty medicine.”

Probably last year, Liu Yao came to Coro Island for a set. When she asked Jiang Chen, what was in that bottle while they were out on a date, Jiang Chen just smiled and didn’t answer the question. He just told her to take it regularly and it was good for her body.

It was not that he didn’t believe Liu Yao would keep secrets for him, but he just didn’t want her to shoulder the burdens that she shouldn’t have to bear.

He was a man that reminisced the past.

Even though he had told her from the beginning that he wouldn’t give her any name, Jiang Chen still couldn’t witness her grow old and then silently leave him.

A lot happened in the past three years.

Whether it was for him, for Xin, or for this world…

There was not much to say about what happened to him.

Except for the piles of documents, he enjoyed his repetitive and leisurely daily life. Although this appeared boring to others, only Jiang Chen, who enjoyed this life, could appreciate the beauty of living this way.

Compared to Jiang Chen himself, who has not changed much, changes in Xin were happening every day.

After Xin adopted World Dollar, the fast-growing economy did not show much fluctuation, and the transition from “Xin New Dollar” to “World Dollar” was smoothly completed. The dividends brought about by the upsurge of space resource development led to a continuous influx of international capital into these small islands in the Western Pacific.

The people were happy, and the society was naturally stable. From Coro Island to Ange Island, it looked like a new place almost every year.

A backpacker who frequently visited Xin even wrote in his blog that he traveled to this city every year, because every time he saw this city, it brought him a completely different feeling. If he did not rely on navigation, he would get lost in this city regardless of how many times he came.

Not many people could remember what Coro City was like ten years ago. Nowadays, there were many high-rise buildings, and the maglev vehicles that traveled back and forth formed a continuous river in the air. It ran from one end of the city to the end of the undersea tunnel on the other.

Then the world outside Xin also changed drastically.

The first was the Trans-Bering Strait Tunnel. The final phase of the project was finally completed. Russia and the UA jointly announced the completion of the project. The tunnel was divided into upper and lower levels, the upper level was designed for cars and the lower level was for high-speed rail. From now on, taking the high-speed rail from Nouveau York to Paris, or driving a car around the world, was no longer an illusory dream.

Trump, who had just participated in the completion ceremony, returned to Capital right away to prepare for the upcoming general election. However, after the UA adopted World Dollar, the post-war economy rapidly recovered, and the employment rate fell; the possibility of his re-election was still quite high.

Because of the effects of the DNA telomere extension agent, the old man did not look like he was already in his seventies. He was running around in the same imposing manner as a young man. He showed up at election campaigns to gain the precious vote of his supporters.

Jiang Chen pushed Loki to the position of President of the World Union Reserve. In the past three years, he had shown his outstanding strength in finance. The World Union Reserve expanded the membership from the earliest twelve countries to 37. It covered almost the entire Pacific Rim, as well as Australia and South Asian countries.

The snowball effect began to the show.

The countries that joined the World Union Reserve currency system, backed by the humongous Xin, enjoyed advantages in terms of industrial raw materials and electricity costs that other countries simply could not imagine. With the continuous expansion of the World Dollar, as long as there were no internal economic issues, more and more economies would start to choose to surrender to this currency system.

After the Bretton Woods system, a stronger and more unified currency system gradually dominated the global financial market.

Economically, the superiority of the World Dollar system started to show, and industrially, the rise of the space industry was also strong.

In addition to Xin, the total output value of the space industry of the major member states gradually moved closer to the figure of 10%. As for Xin, if Heavenly Palace City was included in Xin’s legal territory, then the country’s steel output now ranked first in the world.

It was not entirely because of production capacity, but more of a cost advantage. First of all, the two shipyards under Future Heavy Industries had completed the relocation from Celestial City to the synchronous orbit of Mars and they had prepared to build more starships for the Earth Defense Alliance. Secondly, Golovin acquired a loan of 50 billion World Dollars from Future Bank to build their foothold on Mars.

With the demand for hundreds of millions of tons of steel, steel plants in Heavenly Place City sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. In terms of industrial production capacity alone, Xin now ranked first in the world with only a few hundred square kilometers of land.

In the cultural field, the activities of globalists continued, and apart from the gradual increase of approvals, there was nothing remarkable that happened. These voices would convince the world eventually in the future, but they were still too weak now.

If the previous achievements were put aside, what Jiang Chen was the most impressed by, or delighted with, was the achievements of Future Group in the field of science and technology.

With the help of Golovins, the joint effort of Special Projects Institute and Aerospace Science and Technology Institute in apocalypse made major technological breakthroughs in the research of warp engines.

The topic of warp engine had to mention the name of Jiang Lin, the director Jiang Chen appointed in the apocalypse. Since many years ago, he carried out in-depth research on the warp engine technology under Jiang Chen’s direction. Today, his effort in the breakthrough Future Group made in the warp engine accounted for at least one-third of the progress.

With the completion of the first-generation warp engine, three Envoy-class starships equipped with new engines were launched one after another and sailed to the Kuiper Belt to replace SS Origin, which had not been home for many years. When SS Origin completed the refitting of the warp engine, the number of starships in the Earth Fleet would increase to four.

The progress did not just stop there. After the completion of their research on the warp engine. Future Heavy Industries then began to design a five-million-ton-class starship as the flagship of the Earth Fleet. The five-million-ton-class starship was temporarily designated as the “Constitutional-class.” The production base for this type of starship had already been moved from Celestial City to Mars’ synchronous orbit.

Only the steel reserves on Mars were sufficient enough to support the grand plan of the Defense Alliance.

On New Year’s Eve in 2024, Jiang Chen was not in the modern world, but instead, he brought Sun Jiao, Xiaorou, and Ayesha to the Sixth Street in the apocalypse.

As far as the modern world was concerned, this year’s New Year’s Day was no different from previous years.

But for the apocalypse, tonight was an extraordinary night.

Because it was New Year’s Eve in 2199, and also the tenth year since Jiang Chen first came to this world.

After tonight, it was the first year of the twenty-third century – The year 2200.
