Chapter 7: The Past of Earth

On this day, I joined an organization.

This organization is ofTum.

It is an abbreviation of some kind, but no one seems to know what the full name is. Because of the style of ofTum, there is a saying circulating in the system: maybe the name ofTum is a kind of contained object.

The logo of Tum is that the top of the T extends to both sides, covering the rest of the letters, forming a protective umbrella shape.

Its structure is similar to the United Nations, with countries as members. There are some differences, for example, you must first ensure that your country remains stable.

ofTum was founded in 1963. The initial member states were the Soviet Union, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, Australia, and India. The initial member states had nothing to do with national strength, but with land area.

Subsequently, more member states joined.

This is an organization created because there are endless items that cannot be explained by existing science and are beyond the control of human technology. The purpose is simple: to destroy and study.

What is harmful to earth civilization is destroyed.

Research that is beneficial to earth civilization.

Whichever one has both takes precedence.

Any elite may be a member of ofTum, and these members are divided into 10 levels. Level 10 is the subject of experiments - that is, those who have direct contact with dangerous containment objects.

Starting from level 09, they are normal employees. The highest person in charge of a base is level 05, red.

In addition to grading, there are also divided colors: red, orange, yellow, blue, green and green.

The former are managers and combatants, while the latter are scientific researchers.

For example, Lin Zhan, the leader of the external office of the C7 area, is 05 orange. Dr. Aibo, the biomass research team of the A4 area, is 06 blue.

After my immortality was discovered, the rating was tentatively assigned to 06, orange.

The discovered contained objects will also be assigned numbers, levels and colors. Such as ofTum-1, ofTum-2.

Contained objects that are destroyed because they pose too great a risk will retain their numbers and documents to prove that they have ever appeared.

Slightly different, their ratings are divided separately. They are divided into 1 to 10 according to the importance from high to low.

10: Not valuable but interesting

09: Interesting but useless

08: Somewhat helpful

07: Can provide us with some research value

06: Have research value

05: Actively organize forces to conduct research

04:What we urgently need

03: Crucial to the development of human civilization

The areas further up have not been discovered and therefore have not been divided.

There are three colors: white, yellow, and red. White corresponds to neutrality and friendliness, yellow corresponds to hostility and threat, and red corresponds to hostility and danger.

Because of my immortality ability, I also belong to the Contained Object Sequence.05 (Actively organize forces to conduct research) White (no substantial harmful factors)

As of 2116, when ofTum was disintegrated and destroyed, ofTum contained a total of 5,764 items including those that were destroyed.

No one knows why these things appear one after another on the earth. At first ofTum thought that everyone was like this, but after contacting extraterrestrial civilizations, they learned a piece of information: the earth is a special case.

It is not a special case of the Milky Way, not a special case of the Local Galaxy Group, not a special case of the Virgo Supercluster, but a special case of the entire universe.

This planet, which is obviously far away from the center of the universe, is unique.

It's a pity that this regular universe cannot allow an irregular existence.

In other words, the civilization of this universe.

ofTum is lucky. From the thousands of years of human society before it was born to the early days of its birth, the Galaxy Civilization Committee only regarded it as a newborn that had just changed from an ordinary civilization to a D-class civilization.

There are very few planets that can give birth to civilization, but when a low ratio is put into an infinite base... the 150,000 light-year galaxy is filled with tens of thousands of D-class civilizations and hundreds of C-class civilizations, and there are several more.

Class B civilization.

The former is limited by the planet of origin, and fossils can be the main resource. The latter can colonize star systems and begin to master stellar energy.

The lack of attention from other civilizations gave ofTum a long period of room for development, and then it was finally discovered.

Just like the primitive people mastered the curvature spacecraft, the C-class civilization that only secretly recorded it discovered that the earth was unusual. So just like the modern people who discovered the primitive people... they are full of greed and covetousness.

It was a very difficult period. It was impossible for D-class civilization to fight back against C-class civilization. Just like a baby cannot resist an exploding nuclear bomb. Fortunately, they did not want any civilization to know, so everything could only be done in secret.

Fortunately, we made it through.

The method is to broadcast to the entire galaxy and declare that you are special.

So that civilization withdrew, and the entire galaxy was filled with whispers and stares.

The number of visiting civilizations that year made ofTum want to set up a "foreign civilization tourism administration" department.

This is a very dangerous time, as human civilization and ofTum, which are still in their infancy, have no ability to resist.

But this makes it so that no civilization dares to take action in front of all civilizations.

So we had time to breathe.

At this time, ofTum successively discovered ofTum-1, ofTum-223, ofTum1153 and other containment objects that could allow us to protect ourselves, and at the same time reached several deals with B-class civilizations in the galaxy, exchanging the containment objects that they were interested in for temporary shelter.

A lot of important but trivial things happened during this period.

Until 2113, the earth fission event broke out.

We can't find who the black hand is, but we know that the enemy comes from within the galaxy.

Although countless civilizations reached out to help us at that time, and even directly allowed us to become a C-class civilization, build a solar ring, and colonize the solar system, we were forced to leave the earth.

ofTum has confirmed one thing: primitive people cannot defend a spaceship. The Milky Way is not an iron barrel, let alone the galaxy groups and superclusters beyond.

This is the crime of cherishing a jade. There is no choice but to destroy the jade. Even the B-level oligarchic civilization in the Milky Way cannot defend it.

So by the fission of the earth that is no longer suitable for human habitation, ofTum launches its self-destruction plan.

All data is shown to other civilizations and then destroyed.

All members voluntarily left the earth and were guarded to die of old age in a foreign land.

We only left a few dozen items for self-protection, such as of Tum-1 (Pangu) and of Tum 223 (Endless Hell). We hid them so that no one would discover them, and then gave the keys to me who will not die.

Set up an Iron Curtain generator at the edge of the solar system to castrate itself, signaling that the Earth will never expand outward.

This is very frustrating, everything is very frustrating, we have no choice.

Allowing alien civilizations to enter and restricting human technology. This is why we, with advanced biotechnology, still cannot extend the lifespan of our cells.

Finally, through time, these will fade away.

The best way to make the enemy forget is to make us forget first.

Through a series of actions, we removed everything except the minions.

The enemy spared the earth.

Temporary.

It's not over yet. Civilizations have a variety of emotions toward the Earth, including love, hate, friendship, and disgust, but they are all roughly the same: they value this place very much.

And I, as an immortal being and as the tombkeeper of Tum, hold these keys and protect human civilization while I still have self-awareness.

Such was the rise and fall of ofTum.

This is my story too.
