Countdown: Humanity's struggle to survive against yesterday

The sleep rotation program is the second program launched by Chen Xiaocheng after he became the chairman of the "Sober Alliance".

The first plan is the Ascension Plan, which utilizes existing space capabilities to build a space city.

Unlike the young astronauts, the original astronauts from various countries had not undergone the Jiangning parabolic positioning training. After they went into space, they were truly free from the time reversal.

Based on this new discovery, humanity has once again seen hope and is strongly supporting the ascension project.

A week has passed since the first day when a thousand rockets were launched, and every day hundreds more rockets carrying various supplies continue to fly away from Earth.

Since the United States, China, Russia, and the European Union failed to reach an agreement on space issues at the last UN General Assembly, the four space stations are currently being constructed independently.

Regarding the ground issue, a Memory Council was established as the highest center of power.

As soon as the "Sleep Rotation Plan" was proposed, the first batch of 100 memory masters launched a vote, which was ultimately approved by 71 votes.

It is worth mentioning that in the Memory Council, Jiang Ning was granted the status of a permanent councilor due to his special identity, and was the only one with a veto power.

The sleep rotation plan is actually very simple.

After humans learned that staying up late could make time move forward normally, countless people began to stay up late on their own.

However, this kind of staying up late is unorganized and fragmented, and the normal flow of human time cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to comply with public opinion...

The first thing Chen Xiao did after taking office was to propose a sleep rotation system.

First, the super AI Luoshu is used to locate each family. After the rollback on the new day, each family will receive a notification.

The notice was sent in the order of young, old, and middle-aged, and required that the three groups of people could only rest in turn during the specified time.

The plan is like a three-shift system in a factory, dividing children, the elderly, and middle-aged people into three groups. The first group is the children, who can sleep first.

Young people are in the third batch; during the time it took for the first and second batches to resume work, some young people continued to return to work.

Secondly, you can earn 1 point for every eight hours you stay awake. These points will be tallied by Luoshu, and Luoshu will also strictly monitor and review them.

Young people and the elderly will also earn points, and these points can be accumulated.

In theory, a family of five could earn 15 points a day if they stayed up for 24 hours straight.

Once a family accumulates 1 points, they can use them to redeem a chance for one person to go to space.

Finally, for those who stay up all night, after one Earth Day, their points will double for every 4 hours they stay up.

For example, a person who stays up for 24 hours earns three points. If they continue to stay up for 4 hours, they will earn 2 more points, and if they stay up for another 4 hours, they will earn 4 points, and so on.

Meanwhile, there will be corresponding points rewards for resuming work. Anyone who participates in the construction and contributions of the Ascension Plan will receive extra points subsidies.

As soon as the plan was announced, a brilliant netizen immediately compiled a table online.

The table provides a detailed analysis of the plan and statistically analyzes the feasibility of ordinary people obtaining ascension qualifications.

Let's take a family of five as an example. On each Earth Day, if the child can stay up for 8 hours before going to sleep, and the other four family members stay up for 24 hours, the family can ultimately get 13 points.

If the four adults stay up for 32 hours straight, the family will ultimately score 37 points.

In theory, within just one year, one person from each family can qualify for ascension.

As soon as this analysis table was released, many people immediately raised questions.

Critics argue that "points aren't calculated that way. Rollback doesn't mean you don't need to sleep. Each rollback is just a momentary event. While the body resets, mental fatigue and stress don't. It's impossible for four adults in a family to keep doing this indefinitely. Most likely, it would take a family about three years to qualify for ascension."

One year or three years!

Although the plan and the rules for obtaining ascension qualifications did not satisfy everyone, humanity had already experienced a world war and did not want to fall into despair again.

With this new hope, an organization conducted a survey, and it was found that 87% of people still agree with and support it.

The remaining 13% of humanity consists mostly of single people, homeless people, elderly people living alone, or people who live with only one family member.

To promote this initiative, a new campaign has been launched globally.

The event is called "The Crown of the Sleepless"!

There are no requirements to participate in the activity, except that you must be able to stay up all night.

The slogan for the event is: "Your body may forget its fatigue, but your courage will not."

The event rewards participants with 100 points for completing 30 hours of gameplay.

For every additional 4 hours you stay up, your points will double.

The person who stays up the longest in each cycle receives an extra 1000 points and the "Sleepless Champion" honor.

For this event, a "Time Bank" was also launched globally!

The Time Bank is fully managed by the super AI Luo Shu. To ensure fairness, humans only have the right to monitor, not to interfere. Each person's points are automatically saved in Luo Shu's independent database, and can be viewed by themselves after each period's data rollback.

In addition, points can be freely exchanged to increase activity levels.

Taiqing Mountain, basement level

The six members of the Huitian Group have returned to this place.

The space city no longer needs Jiang Ning, but the organization ultimately decided to have the two sides contact each other regarding the ten children.

Jiang Ning neither listened in nor asked what the two identical people, one in the sky and one on the ground, talked about.

These children remain in the space city and continue their training as before.

Whether or not they should be allowed to fly again is still under discussion within the organization.

After returning to Taiqing Mountain, the six members of the Huitian Group continued their previous research. Jiang Ning immersed himself in the mysterious space every day, while the other five provided support.

As arranged by the "Alliance of the Awakened," Luo Shu has now completely evolved into a behemoth, and every weekday, the data control interfaces of Apple in South America and NPC in the European Union will open to Luo Shu immediately.

This further enhances the computing power of the Luoshu.

Therefore, Mount Taiqing is now jokingly referred to as the "Holy Mountain" by outsiders.

The six members of the Huitian Group were also jokingly referred to as the "Holy Sons".

It is said that time flies when you are in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The "Wreath of the Sleepless" event, which has been promoted for half a month, has finally begun.

This event, scheduled to run from June 1st to June 30th, aims to select the thirty most outstanding sleepless individuals.

In the living room of Courtyard No. 1, Taiqing Mountain, the five members of the Huitian Group sat down on the sofas, while Jiang Ning stood in front of the wine cabinet.

"You've made up your mind, haven't you?" Jiang Ning asked calmly.

The crowd looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward; no one knew what to say.

Even Sun Fumin, who was usually the most active, toned down his personality and stopped making jokes.

"It's alright, all good things must come to an end!" Jiang Ning said sincerely. "Our research has also hit a bottleneck, and it's not good to stay in Taiqing Mountain all the time. It's a good thing for everyone to go out and travel."
