Part Three: The Modern Era: Contemporary Technology and Thought

[Overview of the Era] Three thousand years after Stargate Calendar, the known public network has entered a long-term stable development stage. The post-war order, the Public Road Act, the modernization of the Stargate network, the expansion of underground branch roads, and the popularization of local education have gradually transferred a large number of technologies from the hands of a few powerful people, sects, academies, and Gate-City institutions into public society. By around the time of the Stargate Calendar 12760, modern technology had formed a relatively stable division of labor system, which included areas such as urban engineering, environmental adaptation, life medicine, information recording, mechanical awareness maintenance, dream pattern technology, inter-terrestrial navigation, agricultural improvement, public safety, cross-world education, home care, resident communications, and daily appliances. The development of modern technology does not mean that all the world will follow the same path. Qingqiong Realm values ​​boundary currents, rule medicine, and floating land engineering; Weien Star values ​​archives, collation, translation, and public knowledge systems; Luojia Star values ​​ports, tidal engineering, and sea plant industries; Almu Star values ​​mechanical awareness, cold core maintenance, and self-disciplined factories; Sayon Realm values ​​boundary plant medicine and ecological restoration; Messatu Star values ​​water-saving projects; Ruomu Land values ​​tree-dwelling architecture and earth-vein agriculture; and Thousand-Dream Interspace values ​​dream patterns, consciousness education, and memory preservation. The common feature of modern technology is not that the roads are unified, but that different roads form a system that can be communicated, certified, and reviewed within the public system, and can enter ordinary life. At the same time, modern thought is also undergoing changes in its long-term peaceful development. Ancient thoughts often revolved around road opening, strong and weak order, the meaning of Stargate, great beings, war responsibility and public ethics. Modern thought is more faced with problems in stable life: how different life forms can coexist, how short-lived lives can gain dignity in a long-lived world, how local traditions can be preserved in the public network, whether technological governance will form new sect rights, how mechanical consciousness and dream-like life can confirm the subject qualifications, and whether the lives of ordinary residents should also enter the historical record.

【Environment Adaptation Technology】 Environment adaptation technology is one of the most basic technical fields in modern times. There are huge differences between stars, realms, places, and spaces. Gravity, light, temperature, air, spiritual energy, regular flow, dream intensity, ley line pressure, sound density, humidity, sense of time and mental stimulation may all affect the body, consciousness or mechanical structure of the residents. In ancient times, travelers often relied on personal cultivation, protective artifacts, sect secrets, or the protection of strong men to resist foreign environments. Modern public networks require that ordinary students, workers, doctors, merchants, relocating families, and extraordinary beings can safely pass and live under certain conditions. Therefore, environmental adaptation has gradually become a permanent public technology. Stargate Calendar After 2800, the number of regional Stargates increased, and ordinary cross-world migration began to expand. The initial environmental adaptation mainly serves traffic safety, focusing on quarantine, short-term residence and disease isolation. Between 4000 and 6000 years of Stargate Calendar, as the gate grid matured, environmental adaptation expanded from gate areas to cities, schools, hospitals, workshops, and residential areas. After the expansion of the inter-terrestrial branch in Stargate Calendar 6900, the adaptation of the inter-terrestrial environment became an independent category. By around the time of the Stargate Calendar 12760, most areas with stable access had formed local environmental adaptation standards. The environmental adaptation of Qingqiong Realm mainly revolves around wind belts, boundary currents and floating continent edges. Beiyuan Public College, Qingqiong Polyshengxiang Residential Home and Changfeng Zongmen School jointly developed an adaptation course for foreign students in Fulu. Before outsiders enter the Qingqiong high wind area, they usually need to undergo wind pressure testing, boundary flow response inspection and rule fatigue assessment. Qingqiong floating land buildings are permanently equipped with low wind floors, buffer corridors and quiet rooms for residents who are not adaptable to high-altitude environments. Ordinary residential households are also often equipped with small wind pressure regulating screens, boundary flow warning bells, and living mats for foreigners to facilitate the short-term stay of relatives, friends, or students. Luojia star's adaptation technology is biased towards tides, humidity and heat, sea salt and port area floating population. Baichao City Workshop promotes adjustable wet harbor worker dormitories, temporary quarantine halls and aquatic-terrestrial shared passages eight thousand years after the Stargate Calendar. Luojia Port District also established an odor zoning system early to reduce the impact of sea plant processing, foreign food and the odors of different ethnic groups on sensitive life. In ordinary households, moisture-proof food cabinets, salt spray purification windows, foldable aquatic guest pools and children's non-slip shoes are all common living appliances. The adaptive technology of the planet Messata is formed around a water-scarce environment. Water circulation walls, dew gas collectors, dry public bathrooms and low-water consumption canteens are commonly used in Chushui City, Haman City and Nanjing Port. Before foreign residents come to live in Mesatu for a long time, they must complete a water conservation course and a dry zone physical acclimatization examination. The Misadha Water Storage Chamber stipulated that high water consumption habits should not be allowed into public housing complexes on the grounds of outside lifestyle. The kitchens of ordinary Misadha families are usually equipped with graded sinks. Water for drinking, cleaning, irrigation and recycling must not be mixed. Children need to learn basic water accounting records before entering school. Wulanxing, Tawuxing, Queluojian and Jingtidejian have developed low-temperature, gravity, low-light and psychological adaptation technologies respectively. Wulanxing Institute of Cryogenic Medicine has established living standards for cold nights. Residents’ homes often have thermal storage walls, low-temperature wardrobes and public lighthouse connectors. The Tawu Star Institute of Gravity Medicine is responsible for the assessment of high gravity adaptation, and dormitories for foreign students usually have graded gravity rooms. The Queluo Low-light Civil Affairs Council stipulates that outsiders are not allowed to use strong-light devices in public blocks, and low-light street stores will provide soft-light envelopes. The Mirror Tide Identity Institute provides reflexive fatigue screening for long-term residents. Non-mirror rest rooms are often set up in ordinary residences to prevent residents from being exposed to reflective environments for a long time. The popularization of environmental adaptation technology has made it safer to move and study across the world, but it also brings about cost and qualification issues. Some marginal areas cannot afford high-level adaptation facilities, and some non-human beings are implicitly excluded due to the high cost of adaptation. After the Stargate Calendar 11420, the Department of Earth Affairs and the Public Health Alliance repeatedly requested that basic adaptation be integrated into public services, rather than being entirely borne by schools, employers, or relocation families. This problem has not yet been fully resolved.

【Daily Appliances and Home Technology】 Everyday appliances are the most direct part of modern technology entering ordinary life. Stargate Calendar Five thousand years ago, most cross-world technologies were still concentrated in Gate-Cities, academic palaces, sects, hospitals, and large workshops. Most of the utensils used in ordinary households are local traditional products. Seven thousand years after the Stargate Calendar, with the development of the regional Stargate, Vocational School, Old Inkstone Mass Manufacturing, Almu Synthetic Workshop, and the small appliance trade in Luojia Port District, many technologies that originally belonged to professional institutions were simplified into household items, town tools, and school equipment. Home climate regulators are one of the most common pieces of everyday technology. The names vary in different regions. Weien Star is often called "room layer adjuster", Luojia Port is called "humidity and temperature cabinet", Qingqiong Realm is called "quiet world box", and Missatuo Star is called "water breath wall". The purpose is broadly similar, regulating temperature, humidity, odor, light, and low-level rule perturbations in a confined space. Ordinary models cannot cope with high-risk environments, but they are enough to help foreign relatives and friends live in short-term accommodation, protect children and patients, and reduce seasonal diseases. Translation devices are extremely common in modern homes, schools and town shops. In the early days, translation relied on translators, Xuegong Text and Gate-City Translation Library. In modern times, there are a large number of low-level semantic slices, portable translators, voiceprint transcribers and dreamprint translation screens. School translations produced by Weien Star and Jiu Yanxing are the most popular, while Philofu City shops prefer port translators that can quickly switch between multiple business languages. It should be noted that ordinary translators cannot fully handle religious metaphors, local slang, dream language and low-light shadow patterns, so certified translators must still be used in court, medical and marriage registration. Home recording equipment is also very important. Public registers and local archives kept formal information, and households kept daily information. Chenlu Star is a common home record box, used to save migration routes, relative lists, holiday images and elderly narratives; Weien Star residents mostly use book-page home records; Almu mechanical homes commonly use core copies; Thousand-Dream Interspace homes save dream pattern anchors. Such instruments are not equivalent to public archives, but they often have auxiliary value in research on migration, inheritance, adoption and local history. Kitchen technology embodies the everyday differences of a polymorphic society. Cross-ethnic kitchens are usually equipped with odor stratification, temperature stratification, morphological signs and regular stimulus warnings. The inter-ethnic canteen in Luojia Port Area will handle sea vegetables, terrestrial meat, dream-flavored food and mechanical experience interfaces separately. Messada family kitchens attach great importance to water conservation. If the wooden floor kitchens attach importance to collection permission, Almustar kitchens often place physical food and mechanical energy gel in the same public dining space to maintain family life together. Home care appliances have grown rapidly after the popularity of modern medical care. Ordinary residents can use basic rule fatigue test sheets, dream pattern sleep recorders, low-temperature pulse lamps, core wear reminders, children's adaptive wristbands and memory prompt screens for the elderly. Such devices cannot replace doctors, but they can help families detect relocation discomfort, occupational injuries, dream fatigue and chronic regular diseases in a timely manner. Community medical clinics in Nanhuxing, Gwenxing and Amiloxing often rent nursing equipment to low-income families. Educational equipment for children is also increasingly common. Weien’s old inkstone teaching material screen, Beichen Star elephant practice disk, Luojia tide model box, Misadha water account wooden sign, Ruomu branch calendar board, Almu basic interface toys and Thousand-Dream Interspace memory card are all common items in modern schools and families. These devices do not seek to be highly technical, but rather transform local and public knowledge into forms that children can use. The spread of daily utensils has made modern life more convenient, but also brought about new inequalities. Residents of the main world have access to newer, safer appliances, while fringe regions often use older models or local imitations. Some cheap translators, adapters and nursing devices are of insufficient quality and have caused misinterpretations, misdiagnoses and relocation accidents. Stargate Calendar After 11680, many regions required basic daily appliances to be included in public quality certification.
