The rain was drenching, with continuous strands of rain falling into one piece. The thick clouds in the sky made people breathless. There was no human smoke in sight on the streets, only isolated street lamps and gray ground.
The turbid water gurgled in along the entrance of the sewer. He stepped on the dripping ground with one foot, causing a splash, then quickly lifted it up and walked quickly forward.
Lorraine Hill seemed to have stepped into someone's perspective, watching the past scene through personal experience. This was undoubtedly the memory stored in that small disk.
Although the various feelings are close to reality, there is still a slight gap. Her extraordinary perception can detect some imperfections, and she cannot turn the perspective or interact in the scene. Compared with Lagdis's diary
, there is still a big difference.
However, this still does not detract from the preciousness of this memory.
What is presented to Lorraine Hill now is the end scene of the 21st century on earth in the distant past.
The raindrops fell on the owner of the memory, making Lorraine Hill feel cold. However, the clothes he was wearing seemed to be made of special materials. The water droplets could not penetrate and just rolled down his body.
After turning several streets, I gradually saw some other people on the road. They were wearing the same white robes and rainproof hoods as themselves.
There is a special triangle symbol on the back of the white robe, which seems to have a pattern of hour hands. Although you can't see the back at the moment, you can roughly guess that they are exactly the same.
This group of people in white robes gathered in front of a square and stood in the rain, forming an orderly square formation. No one directed them, no one spoke, everything was silent.
After 10 minutes, a man also wearing a white robe walked to the stage. The only difference was that there were two red rings on his cuffs.
"The final moment has arrived."
After taking the stage, the leader's voice spread throughout the venue.
"According to statistics and data simulation calculations from observatories around the world, the earth will not return to a habitable state until about a thousand years later."
"This means that in the long darkness of the future, countless lives will die, and the earth's ecosystem will be reshuffled."
"Although we humans consider ourselves to be the proud ones of heaven, we still cannot escape from this catastrophe."
"Everyone present here is an elite from various fields, countries, and industries. In this cruel choice, the coalition government has decided to leave its last hope to you."
"I don't want to repeat again how rare this qualification is. For every one of you who survives, there are at least hundreds of people who have dedicated and sacrificed for this."
"They gave up a lot in exchange for allowing you to live. So that you can support human civilization again more than a thousand years later."
"I hope you can keep in mind the heavy expectations and numbers behind this."
....
"Finally, let us swear again."
Each silent figure raised his right hand, letting the rain slip over his face, and shouted under the dim sky.
"I will turn into a torch as strong as steel and a flame to sustain civilization."
"The Amber Millennium Project has officially begun!"
The planners in white robes walked into the deep tunnels, where the elevators led directly to hundreds of underground floors, where they would avoid all kinds of interference from the outside world and hibernate for thousands of years until the haze in the sky dissipated again.
-------
Time passed, and when these people who were sleeping in the hibernation cabins underground woke up again, the earth looked completely different.
The power given by Mana makes the plants grow extremely lush. The bones strengthened by the extraordinary strength can bear a larger and heavier body. Giant beasts with heads up to 100 meters are slowly moving on the earth, and the predators of the ocean are even more powerful.
It's countless.
In order to better fight against the monsters all over the earth and survive, humans who have ended hibernation formed the "Human Survival Committee"
The resurrected land was wild and full of dangers. Even guns and cannons could not subdue those violent monsters, so humans had to move to the sky.
The protagonist of the memory participated in the renaissance and guidance of many technologies. Under the influence of extraordinary power, the material science of this world also had a special direction of advancement.
Although it is difficult to mass-produce, something far beyond the past is gradually taking shape. Controlled nuclear fusion, which is close to unlimited energy, is also gradually maturing at this stage.
Due to the danger on the ground, the main materials of human equipment have also changed from metal and plastic in the past to a large number of wooden structures. Sail airships shuttle through various floating cities.
More than a hundred years later, at the 62nd Commission on Human Survival, a certain committee member proposed a plan.
'Since we have extraordinary power, why not create an extraordinary race.'
"Why stick to the appearance and structure of the past."
"In the past, due to the convenience of the brain and tools, people gradually degraded their physical abilities in all aspects. It is difficult to imagine that a fall from a step more than three meters high may lead to death, and the object of death is still the highest-level life on earth.
"
"Making bones stronger does not mean that they are no longer human. It is a manifestation of progress."
After adapting to a life of extraordinary power, some human concepts are slowly changing. At this stage, the prototype of an ideological theory begins.
They are no longer satisfied with the weak bodies of the past, but hope that the descendants of mankind will become stronger with each generation, and transforming life has become their most focused field.
Its theoretical slogans also change in the research and progress year by year.
[If adding an organ can enhance new abilities without affecting the appearance, why don’t we do it?]
[Extraordinary monsters are the objects of our study, and humans can find more possibilities in them.]
[Some organs of Warcraft are the source of its abilities. Perhaps there is a way to have both worlds.]
...
[The girl with cat ears represents the new direction of mankind...]
[Perhaps there is some upper limit to the human form.]
[If you have a human mind, does that mean appearance doesn't matter.]
[The dragon is a symbol of strength and perfection.]
...
[Tall body, powerful magic power, big is beautiful, more is better.]
[Titan is not an unattainable dream...]
[The direction of life is not one. It has many branches like a big tree. We sing together here. The Tree of Life Sect was established today.]
....
[The steel roars, the turbine rotates, the body is just a part of the tool, and the Alpha Mechanical Council was established.]
[We will use that precise steel ruler to re-measure the land beneath our feet. ——The 137 branches of the Mechanical Council and a total of 6.82 million autonomous units will regain control of the earth.]
...
[In order to regulate the taboo research of various organizations and factions, an ethics committee is established here.]
[Research on transformers, adjusters, mutants, etc. will be strictly restricted by the ethics committee.]
[Morality and basic values maintain the boundaries of human cognition, and the bottom line of ethics cannot be violated. - The Ethics Committee vigorously rebuked the Tree of Life Sect.]
Lorraine Hill looked at the scenes in this distant past, witnessing human beings waking up from hibernation, reproducing, entering the sky, reviving again, etc. Each historical moment is like a magnificent epic, telling the essence and origin of this world.
