When Qin Tian stepped out of the house, night had already fallen.
As early as two thousand years ago, the Empire had mastered artificial sun technology and had promoted this grand engineering project to all star realms under its rule. The rhythm of day and night had long been deeply embedded in the genes of the Empire's citizens—a memory from the era of the home star and the eternal rhythm of civilization's continuity.
Therefore, the laws of the Empire clearly stipulated that any colonized planet with a permanent population exceeding one billion must build an artificial sun in synchronous orbit.
Although these artificial creations still couldn't compare with the ancient star that orbited the home star in terms of scale, energy level, and stability, they were sufficient to simulate the basic cycles of day and night in the cold depths of space—the hazy twilight at dawn, the intense brilliance at noon, and the gentle hues of dusk, all perfectly recreated.
