erthean lifestyle


Erthe Citizens of Maharlika City live and work in high-density vertical structures in which the locals dub as megatowers. Rising to an average of 200 storeys, these massive wonders of metal, glass and durable lightweight polymers shimmer with the reflection of early morning. High-density vertical developments enable the city to allocate downtown horizontal levels for verdant parks and reforestation development. Considerable populations also live within the multilevel subterranean chambers below the city parks and forest reserves with well-regulated climatic, illumination and acoustical conditioning. Low-rise suburbs furthermore dot the well forested vicinity; its primary residents being scientists, artists, hydroponics farmers and gardeners among others, with major institutions along the neighborhood.

Practically responding to the radical requirements of Erthe Federation, the efficient use of land resource is implemented with the revitalization of the once limited natural environment decimated in the aftermath of the Great Upheaval. By the later century afterwards, forests, parks and nature conservation areas are considered extremely valuable for both tangible and intangible benefits, and secular real estate developments adjust to match the assessment of its value.

In collaboration with Erthe Federation and CIC, the latter consistent with its program of providing mutual technology transfer to sufficiently evolved interstellar civilizations, new Erthean society experiences rapid advancement in modular building innovation and interstellar standard technology. PostGU Erthean lifestyle is adequately supported with advanced utilitarian and energy source systems, implemented with comprehensive recycling methods and highly efficient energy generating technology upgraded to subatomic source levels from prolific supplies. Consistent with strict environmental standards, energy demands are met by clean solar power, fuel cells from water, magnetic propulsion, and ionic charges from the atmosphere. The proficient use of energy sources have revolutionized the industries such that its power generating technology is often dubbed as “Free Energy”, resulting to a benevolent socio-economic structure.

Transportation systems are operated with efficient traffic controls in the subterranean, terrain, and air lane levels. Subterranean maglev railways clawing through strategic tunnel terminals extensively service public passengers. Mobile horizontal platforms dubbed as sidewalkers service pedestrian traffic at terrain level, its environs amply surrounded with tree-lined avenues and large verdant parks, with the immense megatowers soaring behind them. Above the scenery, spacedrive vehicles hovering at traffic level 3 levitate by magnetic propulsion and atmospheric ion manipulation, and traverse on extensive hoverways of invisible grid systems with range beacons transmitted by strategic transceivers to vehicle consoles for regulation of multilevel traffic flow. Erthe Federation equips its facilities with teleportal chambers for lightspeed travel among constituents. For interstellar travel, wormhole manipulation with the space-time fabric is the norm.

Robotics are an indispensable necessity with extensive functions ranging from industrial endeavors to domestic efficiency. Highly durable equipments such as household utilitarian implements are designed to amiably “talk” with its users, literally redefining the term “user-friendly”. Higher ST (Sentient Technology) robotics that imbue “conscious” disposition, otherwise categorized as 4D technology, have various functions. Sometimes an anthropomorphic robot may serve as household help or an escort “friend”. Permeated with Faster-than-Light Imbued Crystalline Kinetics (FLICK), these cordial companions form a versatile part of the new Erthean civilization and are instilled with sentient perception that mirror its environment, hence also serving as vital data source for determining social condition status.

Interstellar communication is achieved beyond conventional light speed measurement and is revolutionized by Stellar-Planetary Enhanced Encoding Data Transfer (SPEEDTRA), wherein data-imbued dimensional photons in interstellar contact are transmitted via stellar and planetary core vortices that permeate like macrocosmic transmitters on the enormous galactic screen. The possibility of teleportal travel via these vortices is also extensively researched by the Confederacy, pooling with it the technological expertise of major interstellar civilizations.

Every Erthean citizen of legal age is also issued a GIZMO (Gadget Intensive Zany Multi-functioning Object). The egg-sized device serves a wide range of functions, from virtual pc and television projector to utility laser knife attachment. It is personalized by reading its user’s genetic datum.

The use of monetary currency is non-existent, for the Federation addresses all the basic utilitarian requirements of every individual. A sophisticated barter system merits individualized endeavors, such as handicraft works or talent performances; with transaction records encoded via virtual monitor equipped within the personalized GIZMO, which also acts like a “wallet”. The merits may be accumulated by points and used for “luxury” issues such as interplanetary tour tickets, a spacedrive vehicle, holistic massage (with emphasis at dissipating negative prana resulting from such transactions), or a robotic pet.

A lot can happen in 3 centuries, I just don't think this scenario would be suitable for an age so far ahead in the future. I'd point this 50-100 years ahead, but not 300.

More descriptions on how the building looks like would be nice too.

Good writing, mate. I'd like to see more of your work.

thanks red.

as for the story, I'm yet to tell of the 'great upheaval' that occured that definitely affected the progress.
