The Earth After That

Chapter 1: Past and present

In 4334, the Earth formed a supercontinent. Called the "single continent". Six continents encompassing Asia, Europe, America, Australia, Africa, and Oceania merge into one. Because this happened earlier than expected, scientists were unable to react.

After the fourth world war, the Earth had only one government, one country. And this country is called Human Rights: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

In the world of science and technology, there are many great developments. Artificial intelligence was fully invested in 3144. It has replaced humans doing all the tedious work. Also since this time, the second currency that has corrupted people has been very powerful in previous centuries. Now, it no longer exists. People know about it through the narrative of history. There was a time when, as long as there was money in hand, people could buy anything, including teammates.

Scary huh?

Don't worry, it's been wiped out already. And people today only live in comfort and luxury with the service of robots. They just need to learn and hone their knowledge. At this point, there is not a single trading profession in existence. Because the current important industry is teachers and researchers in science and technology.

Humans have reached the end of the galaxy, this has stimulated the desire to explore beyond the universe, galaxies, and stars that they have never been to. Nearly three millennia have passed, and with all the intelligence and modern science inherent, humans still have not received a response from the universe.

Is human civilization alone in this universe? 

Probably not.

It would be surprising if they knew that the theory of "hollow earth and hollow sun" both existed. And within those planets lies an unimaginably advanced civilization that surpasses humanity. When the time comes, the limit is broken, according to nature, humanity will perish and be controlled sooner or later.

The year 3279 marks an important milestone. The elixir of life was created to help people escape from extinction, opening a new step for humanity - leading to an explosion in the population on Earth.

The population at its peak could reach fifty billion people. This led to an urgent wave of migration from Earth to other planets. The scientific community at that time was under pressure from public opinion more than ever. They need to find a new solution, which is to find a planet with new life like Earth. From there, solving the problem of population growth and heavy pollution of the Earth.

At this point, people didn't have to worry about anything else. What they need to do is research. If they have bad results, they will be blacklisted and forced to take extra classes. So this leads to them feeling ashamed. Therefore, in the Unique Continent, most people are very intelligent and tend to learn a lot. 

John is a fifteen-year-old teenager with blue eyes, fair skin, and light blonde hair.

Looks smart!

Yes, he was the valedictorian of the annual neighborhood exams. This has been going on continuously for five years since he was allowed to take the exam.

John's favorite subjects are history and space studies. He liked to look back at the past of the last century. Until the third world war and also the fourth world war broke out and humanity ceased to be racist. They live in harmony with each other on one continent and in one country.

John often learns and studies human civilization, whether past or present. Because John's father was a scientist, he was the one who proved the Moon was an artificial entity created by an ancient civilization. This has helped him be honored on the list of great scientists of mankind. And John admired his father very much. He always followed and learned a lot from him.

John's mother, Mary, was also an idol of his. She is a physicist who found the source of eternal energy. Thanks to that, this discovery helped strengthen John's father's theory that the moon is an artificial entity.

Perhaps, John inherited his parent's intelligence plus constant learning. Joh becomes more and more enamored with the vast world beyond space.

John has a close friend group consisting of four people Luna, Jack, and Hana. They all share a common interest in the universe and people. They are like a professional antique player.

Really! They also have telephones, which are common in the 21st century until the 28th century. But at this point, perhaps people just need to press the switch on the ring in their hand and the screen will immediately appear first. face. They can answer calls and do whatever they want.

But there were only four of them, all using separate phones. They often use it for private messaging and to make themselves different.

Today is the day Joh's results continue to top the city. Luna, Jack, and Hannah all met at John's house and took him out to celebrate.

"Hey John, we're here to celebrate with you," Jack said. The three outside eagerly waved at John. 

John smiled and invited them into the house. The automatic moving flying carpet carries three people inside.

The white house has a design that is both classic and modern. Luna crossed her legs on the chair, her hand pressed to the touch screen on the table. She chose for herself a glass of strawberry juice.

[Order received, strawberry juice will be done soon.] The service robot that is vacuuming outside the living room, after receiving the order made a confirmation sound.

"Hey, your Seth dyed his hair today? I'm not familiar." Hannah asked.

John shrugged, smiled, and said:

"I thought black didn't suit Seth so I asked to dye it white. He dyed it himself, it's pretty."

"You should reconsider your aesthetic eye." Jack pouted.

"Strawberry juice arrives." Seth brought strawberry juice to the table, then went out.

Luna took a sip, and shouted happily, clapping her hands repeatedly on her thighs. The other three laughed, thinking in their heads: Is it that delicious?

"Hey guys, the test the other day had a cool question. Is life on Mars happening again?" Jack said, shaking his thighs.

Life on Mars, a very real question. Scientists have repeatedly proven that there was life on Mars. No one wants to refute this, but it seems that recovery will be extremely difficult and take a long time.

So far, humanity does not seem to have found any important clues about aliens and life out there. Tomorrow, the people with the highest test scores in the cities will see the spaceship sending the message of humanity.

That's a bit crazy, isn't it?
