Chen Hui has also made great progress in his study of the theory of unification these days. He is about to reach level 8 in politics, has made great progress in mathematics, and has also improved his proficiency in subjects such as Chinese and English.

Upon seeing the data panel, Chen Hui felt relieved.

He let out a long sigh of relief, put down his marker, returned to his chair, and decided to rest for a while.

The research must continue.

The rate at which his proficiency increased while studying the Grand Unification Theory was significantly faster than before. Even if he couldn't reach the correct conclusion in the end, as long as his proficiency continued to increase, Chen Hui knew that he would eventually reach the finish line.

He was certain he was on the right track!
……

In Shanghai, Zhang Cuicui is packing her luggage with her two children. They will be departing for Mars next week.

She has been fighting cancer for more than three years. Although the final clinical trial of Nirvana One was free, they had already spent too much energy and money in the previous three years.

She still has some savings, but she has been out of the workforce for too long and it is too difficult for her to find a job in her original industry. If she were to take on an ordinary job, she simply could not make a living in Shanghai with two children.

They were originally planning to return to their hometown, but unexpectedly they came across the Mars colonization plan that was being heavily promoted.

She admitted that the subsidies from the Family Prosperity Program finally gave her the courage to make this decision. No one expected that, in the fifth year of the Fusion Era, population would become the most important resource.

Now, family planning is being promoted everywhere again, but this time, it encourages people to have children. Families who have a third or more children will receive direct subsidies, including energy credits, priority allocation of livable spaces, and up to three years of paid parental leave for both parents.

Immigrating to Mars would bring even more generous subsidies, allowing this family, ravaged by cancer and fallen from their social class, to rise to an even higher level.

Her decision was fully supported by her husband. The three years of fighting cancer had made them realize too many things. Returning to their hometown was just to reduce the cost of living, not to reconnect with their ancestors.

They have no other worries now. Making a good life for their family is more important than anything else. Therefore, compared to other immigrants to Mars, they are less anxious and more looking forward to starting a new life.

"Mommy, Mommy, I want to take this little yellow duck with me!"

Their daughter was holding up a small yellow duck toy and trying to stuff it into her suitcase.

Zhang Cuicui took it out again with a bit of helplessness. "Nono, our suitcase is full. How about Mom buys you another one when we get to Mars?"

With China's rapid development, stargazing travel is now as convenient as taking the subway, but the cost is still different. Ordinary passengers have a limited baggage allowance, and the baggage fee for exceeding that allowance is still quite expensive for them.

They're saying they're packing their luggage, but it's more like they're choosing what to take. After living here for so many years, she really can't bear to throw anything away; there's simply no room left in her suitcase for a little yellow duck.

Although the tickets for this Mars colonization project are free, the organizers encourage everyone to bring as little luggage as possible, as all living supplies and housing will be provided upon arrival on Mars.

"It's okay, let Nono take this little yellow duck with her."

Zhang Cuicui's husband took the little yellow duck from her and put it in the suitcase. Then he took out a PCB board from the suitcase and threw it into the pile of miscellaneous items next to him. "Okay, now the weight should meet the standard."

Zhang Cuicui quickly picked up the PCB board from the pile of debris. "How can you do this? This is the board you've been using since college. How can you throw it away?"

"It's alright, this board is outdated. I kept it there as a family heirloom, and now it's time to sweep it into the dustbin of history."

Zhang Cuicui's husband said nonchalantly, "When we get to Mars, we won't have any kind of plank."

"On Earth, I might just be an ordinary embedded engineer, but on Mars, we are pioneers, the founders who create a new world for future generations. This feeling is much more important than a circuit board."

Hearing her husband say this, Zhang Cuicui didn't press the matter further, but she knew that her husband's feelings for the board were not as indifferent as he appeared.

"Mommy, Mommy, I want to bring my excavator too."

On the other side, her twin sons were also crying and fussing, wanting to put the excavator in the suitcase. His sister had put in a little yellow duck, and he wanted the excavator too.

"Yan Yan, this big one definitely won't work, how about we just bring a small excavator?"

Zhang Cuicui's husband squatted down and spoke gently to their son, "When we get to Mars, Dad will take you to ride a real excavator."

"Great, great, I want to ride in the big excavator."

The little guy was happily jumping around, completely unaware of what going to Mars meant; perhaps it was just an ordinary trip for him.

"You're really patient now."

Zhang Cuicui looked at her husband and said with a smile that she remembered when she first met him, his bad temper almost caused them to break up. She never expected to see her husband so gentle one day.

What's the point of getting angry with a child?

The husband turned around and smiled, "They don't care whether you're angry or not. It's better to stay calm; that way, you'll solve the problem better."

The two smiled at each other, and warmth enveloped the small room.

"Good evening, interstellar citizens, and welcome to this episode of 'Starry Sky Watch'."

Just then, a news program popped up on the television, and the host was smiling as he addressed the viewers outside the screen, saying, "Today, the Solar System Development Agency released its exciting first five-year report. Five years have passed since we fully mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology, and the footprints of human civilization are extending into deep space at an unprecedented speed!"

At the same time, the camera on the TV screen switched to Mars' synchronous orbit, showing the interlaced bands of light covering the entire planet.

"Look at this revitalized red planet. With the eighth Genesis-class fusion atmosphere regulator now in operation, the oxygen content in the Martian atmosphere has reached a level suitable for short-term outdoor activities."

Just last week, the first natural ecosystem without the need for protective suits was discovered in Utopia Planitia, marking a new era in the terraforming of Mars! "Does this mean we'll have to stay in protected areas forever after we go to Mars?"

After seeing the news, Zhang Cuicui looked at her husband, then at her three-year-old twin children, and asked with some concern, "I don't want my two little ones to live in a closed space for the rest of their lives."

The husband smiled slightly, understanding his wife's meaning. "Don't worry, the Nuwa Project has already begun. Before long, Mars' magnetic field will be restored, and then Mars will gradually become blue again, turning into a planet suitable for human habitation."

Seeing that his wife was still somewhat confused, the husband continued, "The enormous energy carried by the solar wind will blow away gas molecules in the atmosphere, especially light gases."

Experts have deduced that the main reason Mars transformed from a potentially warm, humid planet with a thick atmosphere and liquid water billions of years ago into the cold, dry, and thin-atmospheric desert it is today is that its global magnetic field essentially disappeared about 40 billion years ago, causing the solar wind to gradually strip away its atmosphere.

"Without a magnetic field, there would be no atmosphere. Without an atmosphere, there would be no oxygen to breathe. Without atmospheric pressure, liquid water could not exist on the surface and would quickly boil or freeze. At the same time, cosmic radiation such as ultraviolet rays would directly reach the surface, and humans would be unable to withstand such intense radiation."

Clearly, unlike Zhang Cuicui, who was tempted by the generous subsidies of the Human Prosperity Project, her husband made this decision after reviewing a great deal of information.

He continued to explain to his wife, "The current protected areas are mainly located above residential areas. By laying a network of superconducting coils on the ground, a local magnetic bubble is created to protect the area from radiation. This is equivalent to adding an invisible energy shield to the city."

"The Nuwa Project involves placing a powerful artificial magnetic field generator at the Lagrange L1 point on Mars. This magnetic shield can deflect the solar wind, causing it to bypass Mars."

In this way, Mars would be situated within a magnetotail protected area naturally formed by the solar wind.

"This will prevent the Martian atmosphere from being stripped away by the solar wind. More importantly, due to the pressure of solar radiation, the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars will begin to accumulate, and the atmospheric pressure will slowly rise."

This would lead to a greenhouse effect, causing the polar ice caps to melt, releasing carbon dioxide, further thickening the atmosphere, increasing surface temperatures, and thus automatically initiating the process of Mars becoming blue again.

"It is estimated that Mars will be able to initially restore its atmosphere in just over a decade, allowing humans to move freely on the Martian surface for a short period of time."

The entire Nuwa Project is expected to take only a few decades; we can afford to wait!

The average life expectancy of humans has now reached two hundred years, and they can certainly afford to wait several decades.

The husband excitedly said, "This time, I applied for a job as an operations and maintenance engineer for the Nuwa Project control system!"

Zhang Cuicui didn't fully understand what her husband was saying, but seeing his excited expression, she felt inexplicably at ease, and she trusted his judgment.

At this moment, in China, countless families, like Zhang Cuicui's, are packing their bags and preparing to go to Mars.

"Now for a brief news briefing: According to the latest news from the Meteorological Bureau, Typhoon Hagasa, the 18th typhoon of this year, will make landfall on the coast of Guangdong Province. It may be the strongest typhoon to hit my country this year. Coastal residents, please make preparations for the five suspensions (suspending work, rest, and emergency response). The decisive battle is just around the corner."

Zhang Cuicui, who was packing her luggage, looked up at the TV and asked in surprise, "We haven't heard about typhoons for a long time, how come there are typhoons again now?"

Since the successful construction of the China Nuclear Fusion Power Plant and its sharing with other countries, as well as the assistance provided to many countries in building fusion power plants, global climate issues have been further controlled, and extreme weather events have become rare in recent years.

"The weather is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure what will happen with extreme weather. Even though humanity has begun to conquer the stars, we still cannot resist the power of nature."

The husband said with lingering fear that he had experienced a typhoon in Hainan once, which was the first time he had witnessed the power of nature, and it left a deep impression on him.

"I hope that our compatriots in Guangdong Province can turn danger into safety."

Zhang Cuicui could only offer one prayer.

……

America Wilson had a predicted trajectory of the Hagatha Desert in front of him, and he said with a slight regret, "It's a pity that the Hagatha Desert could cross China."

"You're not thinking of destroying China with just one typhoon, are you?"

Fury chuckled, feeling that Wilson had probably lost his mind. After all, with China's rapid rise in recent years, Wilson's life had not been easy, and it seemed normal for him to be a little neurotic under such enormous pressure.

"That's not necessarily true. There's a nuclear fusion power plant on the route through Kagaza. If it causes an accident, that would be a good thing."

Wilson's eyes were sinister. China had already shared its fusion power generation technology with dozens of countries, but obviously not America. This blatant suppression left him angry but unable to speak out, though it didn't stop him from resorting to underhanded tactics in private.

Unfortunately, the people he sent out didn't gain anything regarding key technologies. Even now, while China's space exploration is in full swing, their nuclear fusion power plant is still just a PowerPoint presentation.

"Perhaps this is God's punishment for China. Maybe under God's wrath, China will slowly decline, and America will become great again."

If you've never seen the sun, you won't feel sadness because of the night.

China has already soared into the stars, while they are still stuck on Earth. Compared to China, he felt like a primitive man wearing an animal skin apron. Wilson was very sad.

Fury scoffed, too lazy to say anything more.

……

Japan, the Prime Minister's Residence
"God bless Japan! Last time, the kamikaze saved us, and this time, the kamikaze has come again!"

An old man looked at the map of Hagaza's advance and tears streamed down his face.

In recent years, China has risen rapidly. As a small place on the border of China, the pressure it has been under is unimaginable, not much different from that when it faced the invincible fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Back then, it was a typhoon that saved them and destroyed the invincible fleet. This time, the kamikaze will surely be able to rescue them once again!

"Sir, although the typhoon is strong, the damage it causes is very limited."

"The meteorological expert next to me said helplessly."

"Didn't you say that the winds are getting stronger as it moves forward? Who knows if it will get even stronger after making landfall? It might even become a super hurricane and sweep across the entire China!"

The meteorologist opened his mouth but didn't dare interrupt the old man's sweet dream. In his heart, however, he was seriously considering whether he should go to China to take a look, because staying here obviously had no future.

……

China, Beijing, courtyard house
"Mr. Qian, Huajiasha..."

Xiao Jiang stood in the study, reporting on some recent important news.

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Qian spoke, "Make preparations for disaster prevention and carry out necessary population relocation..."

After completing the routine setup, he said again, "We've been validating Professor Chen's model for so long, it's time to put it to use and see how it works!"
