The application of new theories and technological development allow the expansion of industrial equipment. The social structure becomes even more competitive and the company undergoes various changes that often lead to the affirmation of a single socio-political model.
The struggles for the freedom of the countries occupied by foreigners are now over and the imperialism of the great powers is affirmed exclusively economically.
- Weaponry: All that was possible in the Modern Age, with the strengthening of heavy weapons and artillery, the creation of devices that exploit new medical knowledge (bacteriological, chemical, nuclear, etc.) or that apply the last method to obtain energy from the Atom.
- Communication: All that was possible in the Modern Age and the creation of telematic networks that connect terminals all over the world. In the order:
- Widespread telephone lines.
- Television and radio in every home.
- Artificial satellites, cable TV, first Telematic Network.
- Network connection almost general, digital MassMedia, optical fibers.
- Communication of all types through optical fibers on a planetary scale.
- Computer: Evolution leads to the construction of increasingly sophisticated devices, computers increase in diffusion and power, they allow the processing of hundreds of information per second at the beginning, of millions at the end, and they are found only first in the largest factories, in the end practically in every home and often even in public places. In the order:
- Construction of the first data processors.
- Dedicated military and multinationals computers (capable of performing only one type of operation), the first graphic processing programs.
- Start of home computer.
- First management programs, professional or basic languages to insert instructions, 1-8 MHz home computer models.
- Connection via modem/fax to the telephone line, 16-66 MHz home computer models.
- Connection via modem/fax to the Internet, utilities of various kinds often much more complex and powerful than the previous ones, models of the 90-266 MHz home computers.
- Connection between satellites for the connection of various Networks, professional applications available on the market, 300-1,000 MHz home computer models.
- Smart computer prototypes, 2-100 GHz home computer models.
- Genetic engineering: First steps towards understanding the structure on which life is based. In the order:
- Reproduction studies.
- DNA studies.
- Reconstruction of short stretches of plant DNA.
- Cloning of a living being, production of transgenic foods.
- Map out many areas of the race’s DNA.
- Handcraft: All that was possible in the Modern Age, with the creation of ever lighter and stronger alloys.
- Medicine: The evolution of medical science leads to the eradication of some diseases thanks to the obligatory use of vaccines, surgery advances allowing organ transplants with a good chance of success, therapies for the treatment of mental illnesses allow to almost always hope for the recovery of patients.
- Social Organization: Any (excluding Family and Clan), higher probability Plutocracy.
- Food Production: All that was possible in the Modern Age, the first attempts to apply the little knowledge in the field of genetic engineering to achieve greater productivity and resistance from plants and animals.
- Religion: Any.
- Resources Exploitation: All that was possible in the Modern Age; with the construction and spread of nuclear power plants for energy production, massive exploitation of chemical energy sources (coke, methane and fossil fuels), desperate attempts to find alternative sources that have equal yields. In the order:
- Oil, methane.
- Nuclear fission, wind energy.
- Nuclear fusion.
- Transport: All that was possible in the Modern Age, ultrasonic flights and first journeys outside the atmosphere. In the order:
- Steam trains, prototypes of jet planes, circulation of personal vehicles, electric metro.
- Electric trains, jet planes, cars with a maximum speed of 200 km/h, atomic submarines, the first journeys in space.
- Supersonic aircraft, light monorails, MagLev.
- Transcontinental connections out of the atmosphere.
