Competition between opportunists, bluntly corrupt elements, old ideological hardliners and new separatist movements endangered Feng's vision of a halfway reasonable WCG. Syndicate, technology misuse and Biocrisis were put into public focus to distract from the own inner over-complex problems and the simple truth that even the WCG couldn't prevent - just limit - everyone from losing wealth during the transition: to a new way of living. The debts of present and past humans had to be paid. One way or another. The longer the existing problems remained unsolved the more new doubts, frustration and self-radicalization of people and government grew which again burned resources in quarrels and prolonged the transition. | Competition between opportunists, bluntly corrupt elements, old ideological hardliners and new separatist movements endangered Feng's vision of a halfway reasonable WCG.

===Dragon Eater=== | |||
Breaking the circle of nuclear deterrence and therefore rendering nuclear weapons obsolet. | |||
: ''You needed the smartest heads in the world to build the nuclear bomb. | |||
: ''But you the entire society to get rid of it again.'' | |||
:: - Kimura | |||
This is a WCG long-term objective. The "united nations" will no longer be a toothless paper tiger nor will they depend on nuclear deterrence. The ultimate offensive weapon will be exchanged against the ultimate defense weapon. It could be a critical mile stone between national Biocracies to a global Biocracy. | |||
Three Stages: | |||
# Breaking the circle of nuclear deterrence by implementing Dragon Eater into national energy infrastructure. | |||
# Biocracies vote for a policy to officially send mutual nuclear deterrence into retirement. | |||
# Enforcement of a zero-tolerance policy by an AI and robot infrastructure that is managed by the higher tier Gaia AI. The enforcing AI fears no termination and cannot be blackmailed. It will take down any rogue state that tries to acquire new nuclear weapons. | |||
Dragon Eater builds on decentralized energy sources - you need the entire society to run it - and it is itself stationary. These characteristics makes it as much ''pacifistic'' as an ultra-high-energy defense weapon can be. | |||
All necessary technologies will be presumably available up to the end of this century. | |||
The national energy infrastructure are connected to defense towers to mostly vaporize rocket or dropped bombs. Nothing is faster than light. So even hypersonic rockets with nuclear warheads can be shot down if enough energy comes with the laser beam and its creating plasma channel. | |||
* "hollow" high-energy lasers extend the range, the formed plasma channel can carry additional energy and function as a literal lightning strike melting any protection layers of the war head | |||
* decentralized power generation, storage, transport and usage: renewables, power-to-gas, h2 grid, fuel cells in houses and industry, parking electric cars are connected to the power grid | |||
* '''superconducting power grid''' | |||
