City Expansion: Aetheris and Its Associated Infrastructure
-
- Underground Facilities of Aetheris
- Purpose: Beneath the shining surface of Aetheris lies a vast and complex network of underground structures. These subterranean facilities serve as the core infrastructure that keeps the city operational. They are responsible for everything from waste management and water purification to transportation and data routing.
- Facilities Include:
- Energy Distribution Hubs: Channels power from external fusion reactors and distributes it throughout the city.
- Water and Waste Management: Advanced filtration and recycling systems ensure that the city’s resources are efficiently managed in a self-sustaining loop.
- Data Centers: These subterranean centers store, process, and manage the massive amounts of data generated by the city’s advanced systems, keeping the AI-driven aspects of Aetheris functioning smoothly.
- Transportation Routes: High-speed transit systems allow goods and personnel to be moved rapidly between different sectors of the city without interfering with surface activity.
- Strategic Importance: While largely unseen by the general population, these underground structures are the lifeblood of Aetheris. The ability to manage and maintain these systems without disrupting the surface reinforces Aetheris’s image as a city of unparalleled technological prowess.

- Fusion Power: The Energy Dilemma
- Energy Consumption in Aetheris: Aetheris is an energy-intensive city, with its advanced technologies, constant resource demands, and futuristic infrastructure requiring immense amounts of electricity. To meet these needs, the city developed its own solution to power generation.
- Initial Plan: Underground Fusion Reactor: Early designs for Aetheris included an underground fusion reactor. Fusion technology, while clean and efficient, presented a psychological barrier for the population. The idea of a reactor—essentially a sun in miniature—sitting beneath their feet caused widespread unease. People feared that it was a "giant bomb" that could threaten their lives if something went wrong.
- Public Concerns: The population’s anxiety led to protests and public campaigns against the underground reactor, despite assurances from engineers and scientists that the technology was safe. The fear of catastrophic failure was too great to ignore.
- Revised Plan: Space-Based Fusion Reactor: In response to public pressure, city planners proposed moving the fusion reactor into space. While this reduced the fear of having a massive energy source beneath the city, a new concern arose: the possibility of the station falling out of orbit and crashing into Aetheris as a “sky-bomb.”
- Final Solution: Distributed Fusion Power Stations: To fully alleviate public concerns, the Aetheris government ultimately decided to build discrete fusion power stations distributed across the planet. These smaller, independent stations each contribute a portion of the total energy needed by the city. By spreading the power generation network across different global locations, Aetheris not only reduced the risk of a single catastrophic failure but also gained access to more stable and diverse energy supplies.
- Energy Transmission: Advanced technologies, such as high-efficiency, long-range energy transmission systems, allow the fusion power stations to deliver energy directly to Aetheris, maintaining the city's constant power requirements. The decentralized nature of these power stations ensures that even if one station goes offline, the city remains operational.

- Elite Control of Aetheris
- Aetheris Orbital Scientific Research Station (Renamed) has evolved into a key command center, governing the broader operations of the city from above. It has become the residence for the most influential individuals who truly control the city’s direction.
- Exclusive Access: Only the elite—political leaders, top scientists, and the most powerful industrialists—have access to live in or even visit the station. From this lofty vantage point, they control Aetheris’s energy flow, security operations, and urban development.
墨城是一座超级高科技的未来化大都市,象征着人类文明的顶峰成就。
参差的摩天大楼密布于此,像纵横交错的峡谷般组成了壮观的天际线。脉络般的架空天桥在高楼之间蜿蜒。
在阳光下,这些玻璃幕墙高楼泛着盈盈的光,整个城市犹如由光与影雕琢而成。
街道上行人、自动驾驶车辆和警用机器人交织流动。高速的飞车在头顶划过,穿行于高架车道之间。
行人的增强现实眼镜显示出虚拟空间信息的投射叠加。这是信息与物质空间完美融合的世界。
在墨城灿烂璀璨的外表下,潜藏着无法根除的罪恶与缺陷。传统形式的暴力抢劫案早在智能监控下灭绝。取而代之的是利用高科技手段制造“意外”、掩藏凶手的新型犯罪。执法部门的机器只能处理表面犯罪,而无法触及人心。贪婪与罪恶依旧如影随形。失踪、自杀、建筑坍塌,背后常隐藏真相。灾难成为罪恶掩盖的幌子。系统性腐败极难铲除。
人类文明在此达到顶点,但进步无法完全消弭心中的阴暗面。犯罪呈现新面貌,潜伏在科技背后。
墨城是一个资源极为丰富的理想国,但生存成本也极高。
这里的一切生活消费都需要依靠科技和金钱,没有科技就是等同被抛弃。
如果一个人无法适应这里的生活方式和消费水平,就只能离开或被直接摈弃。
所以这个城市现实中的居民,都是经济实力雄厚的精英阶层。
穷人在这里是活不下去的,他们的命运是被系统拒之门外。
