(Extra with Monthly Votes!)_4 They united as one and overcame countless difficulties, finally turning Mars into a self-sufficient, sufficiently fed and economically comfortable planet for life.
That is to say, by the year 2350, the standard of living on Mars still hadn’t caught up to Earth’s in the year 2024.
Then from 2350 to 2550, the Martians were building their homes, and technological development was basically at a standstill, since the first order of business was survival through self-sufficiency.
After 2550, once the issues of food, safety, and diet were all resolved, Mars finally entered the era of technological development.
This was the arrival of another bottleneck, with resources and energy both presenting problems.
Even today, in 2624, the standard of living and technological level on Mars could only barely be said to have reached Earth’s levels in the year 2200.
Lin Xian had no practical concept of this assertion, but through his conversations with Wei Shengjin, he roughly judged that the technological level on Earth in the year 2200 was probably about the same as in New Donghai City in The Second Dreamland.
The issue of high-density nuclear batteries had been resolved, but there was still a way to go before achieving controlled nuclear fusion.
Space-T Corporation controlled the Martian lifeline and also determined the direction of Martian development, holding absolute authority among the various federations.
When Jask died, there were a total of 200 million people on Mars, and now, the total population had exceeded 500 million.
Wei Shengjin also said,
“One important reason why Martians are unwilling to come to Earth…

is that the super disaster in 2400 was too terrifying, no one knows when the next disaster will come without warning.”
“So everyone is afraid of coming to Earth, no one is willing to travel here, let alone live here.
Indeed…
there was really no sign whatsoever before the super disaster in 2400, it just appeared very suddenly.”
Lin Xian, carrying a heavy backpack, followed behind Wei Shengjin.
Again, the super disaster of 2400.
He didn’t believe that this kind of disaster was naturally formed.
Because in the previous four dreamlands, there had been no such disasters, at least not recorded.

If it really was some sort of natural disaster.
Like a solar storm, movements within Earth’s interior, or incoming meteorites…
Then The Fifth Dreamland would have them, and the previous four dreamlands should definitely have them too.
It wasn’t possible to say that in The First Dreamland the sun was very accommodating, not unleashing any electromagnetic storms; and then suddenly got angry during The Fifth Dreamland, deciding to trigger electromagnetic storms.
That clearly wasn’t possible.
Earth didn’t have that kind of influence, in front of the immense sun, Earth was just a tiny piece of trash, insignificant.
So, the reason was obvious.
This was what Lin Xian always suspected—
[The super disaster on Earth in 2400 was probably man-made.
Although what Jask’s specific intentions were unknown, the so-called “history education” on Mars was likely a lie and not the true history.]
Even more so…
[Why did humanity give up on Earth so easily?
What secrets lay behind this?
Lin Xian still insisted that no matter what, Earth was more suitable for human survival than Mars…
could it be, making humanity abandon mother Earth was itself a conspiracy?]
Lin Xian thought as he followed behind, not catching up with Wei Shengjin’s words.
Wei Shengjin walked ahead.
As he detected, he chuckled:
“Hey, I actually think, these people are worrying too much.
How common are those global-scale super disasters?
How likely is it that we encounter one?”
“Don’t you think, Lin Xian?
It’s not possible that nothing happens to Earth for over two hundred years, and then as soon as we show up, whoosh, the Earth explodes, right?
Hahahaha—”
Wei Shengjin laughed heartily.
Lin Xian also laughed heartily.
Right, how coincidental, Uncle Wei!
Lin Xian glanced down at the watch on his left wrist…
16:41 in the afternoon.
The time left for Wei Shengjin’s laughter was now only eight hours.
He suddenly thought.
If the white light that destroys the world at 00:42 merely destroyed Earth, would the humans on Mars survive?
Pondering back and forth, Lin Xian felt it was unrealistic.
If the white light was indeed some kind of weapon to destroy Earth, the destructive power and range of such a light-speed attack would certainly be very large.
It couldn’t be that Earth was vaporized, yet Mars and the sun were fine.
Mosst likely the destruction would encompass the entire Solar System, with no escape for anyone.
But on the other hand…
What was that white light?
Was Earth really destroyed?
Or was it that Earth was fine, and he himself had been kicked out of the time loop?
He really didn’t know when he would find the answer to this white light.
He was always unable to figure out a solution.
Beep beep beep beep beep!!!!
Suddenly.
Wei Shengjin’s metal detector emitted a loud and urgent sound.
“Did you find it?”
Lin Xian hadn’t expected an actual find, and quickly ran over.
Wei Shengjin slightly adjusted the metal detector, locating the strongest signal, and the beeping noise was fixed on that spot:
“There’s something beneath this spot.”
Wei Shengjin confirmed.
Lin Xian thought of a question:
“Does this detector detect all metals?
Since this is the ruins of the old Donghai City, there definitely must be a lot of metals buried underneath, like building rebar, car wrecks, hardware parts, and such.”
Wei Shengjin shook his head:
“That kind of steel would have rusted and corroded long ago; this machine can’t detect such rusted metals.
This detector is very advanced, not like those security types that identify metals through electromagnetic induction.”
