The Cutting-Edge Tech Hegemony

◆ Worldbuilding ◆

Near-future world (2045). Three major technological blocs stand as equals:

1. Western Alliance (leaders in quantum computing and biotechnology)

2. East Asian Community (strengths in artificial intelligence and materials science)

3. New Soviet Union (military-industrial complex and aerospace technology)

◆ Core Technology Tree ◆

Stage One: Quantum computers → room-temperature superconductors

Stage Two: Neural-link mechs → plasma shields

Stage Three: Antimatter engines → orbital airborne forces

Final Stage: Dyson sphere project (stellar energy capture
