Burdens

Note: Nothing is made for people to get offended on this article! If it includes something you don't like then don't pay attention to it! Now, however, if you find something to be overly biased, it would be a great help if you could fix it to accommodate less bias. And don't take anything seriously, this timeline is not supposed to be super scientific or real but rather just fun and games!

Burdens is an alternate timeline set in 2388, and in a world which used to be a glorious, functioning, cultural utopia turned into a violent, crazy, dictatorial dystopia with just the push of a single button, a nuclear launch button to be more precise.

The divergence
The de facto divergence of the Burdens timeline is with the invention of engineering buildings and construction with nanotechnology and the mass production of atoms and the new wave of engineering new lab grown elements and molecules all in 2023, this set off a wave of scientific inquiry and progress that would last for 15 years!

However with the invention of all this new nanotechnology came a huge burden, the burden of corruption and greed.

Only the rich and powerful could afford the ginormous prices of this new nanotechnology so mainstream society could not even grasp this new technology which started a rivalry between the rich, middle class, and poor. While the rich and powerful basked in a beautiful glorious life of new nanotechnology filled with amazing architecture and wonder the citizenry continued their normal lives without any of that new technological glory.

The de jure divergence of the Burdens timeline is the nuking of Washington D.C. by the Chinese in 2034 by the corrupt Chinese dictator Huang Su, Also known as "The Bloody Dragon" by the Chinese and Cantonese citizenry.

The eradication of Covid 19 (2022)
Covid 19, or simply the Coronavirus was a virus that started a epidemic (Whose status of an epidemic is debated). Multiple vaccines were developed to combat Covid 19 but the production of the vaccines took too long and many weren't willing to get the vaccine, but then a new vaccine by the name of Estrasin, developed by Belgian scientist Alphonse Vidal was developed and was very simple to create and produce so more and more people could get the vaccine and faster, plus the vaccine began to be mandated throughout most countries.

Then eventually the Covid 19 vaccine would become just like the flu vaccine, a person get's it routinely without having a worry or fear, it became a part of life.

Advancements in nanotechnology (2023)
After the creation of the Estrasin vaccine and the eradication of Covid 19 advancements in nanotechnology were steadily being made, such as the mass production of carbon nanotubes by harvesting lab-grown carbon and also more elements were being added to the periodic table, such as the well known lab grown element Curanium which is a solid chemical which has the agility and smoothness of a liquid.

Much advancements to nanotechnology were being made, and these advancements also bore with them advancements to other fields as well, such as the creation of new molecules and chemicals as better replacements and improvements from/on previous anesthetic and medical technologies.
