Stars shift and constellations change; the world transforms.
I don't know how many years have passed.
The towering city walls were covered with thick moss.
Large sections of the city wall have even begun to peel off, and some parts have even dented inwards.
The sea was azure, and even man-made submarines couldn't breach that Great Wall.
The safe zone has been shut down.
The world has become several countries again.
After experiencing several world wars, peace was finally restored, and development resumed, only to restart again.
Humanity started from scratch and began developing technology again.
This has happened countless times throughout human history.
Each attempt at reinvention failed to break through this barrier, nor did it result in the invention of equipment capable of traversing the moon.
This time, it seems we can finally break through this wall that has stood for a thousand years.
The most powerful country is the Dragon Kingdom, which has the largest land area and the strongest strength.
Today is the most anticipated day.
Humans have successfully invented satellites, allowing them to explore the other side of the Earth.
It is an endless expanse of grassland and forest.
Suitable for human habitation.
We are ready at any time to open a breach in this city wall that has stood for who knows how many years, and expand the living space for humankind.
Two children were playing hand in hand near the city wall, running and laughing.
"Sister, sister, what's on the other side of the city wall?"
The younger boy looked up at his older sister, who was holding his hand, and asked her with great curiosity in his eyes.
The taller older sister blinked her big, innocent eyes and spoke softly.
"Didn't they say on TV that it's a land with lots of animals? Maybe we can go and have some fun there!"
The little girl reached out and scratched at the city wall, prying off some dirt.
"Huh? Then there are no man-eating monsters in this world?"
The little boy looked a little disappointed.
"Didn't Mom say there are man-eating monsters on the other side of the city walls?"
Many children have heard a legend that if they misbehave, they will be thrown to the other side of a high wall to be fed to monsters.
Monsters love to eat disobedient children.
"Of course not! Mom was just kidding! Grandma scared me like that when I was little!"
The little girl stood on tiptoe, seemingly trying to see the other side of the city wall, but she couldn't see the end no matter what she did.
All that can be seen are the towering city walls that pierce the sky.
"Then why is there a red light coming from that direction every New Year's Eve?"
The little boy also casually pried a piece of dirt off the city wall and asked expectantly,
"Could it be because there are gods over there? Gods can summon wind and rain, and they can also command the sea and fly!"
"You're so stupid. There are no gods in this world. Besides, didn't you hear what the experts said? Those are all natural phenomena. The red light over there on New Year's Eve is just frequency light reflected from the atmosphere!"
The little girl reached out and poked the boy's forehead with her finger.
Although she didn't know what frequency light was, she was sure the expert was right.
"Oh, did the experts say why there was no red light during the Lunar New Year this year? Red light is so beautiful, even redder than red lanterns!"
The little boy still didn't understand.
"Experts say the snowfall on New Year's Eve this year was too heavy!"
The little girl explained.
"Then all the records in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers are false?" The little boy blinked.
The Classic of Mountains and Rivers was his favorite book, which contained a large number of bizarre and wonderful stories.
They also said that there wasn't that tall wall at the beginning, and that humans were scattered in every corner of the earth.
Later, everyone became powerful; the vast majority became gods, while some became monsters who ate people everywhere.
Later, this city wall was built to separate humans from monsters.
Besides this story, it also records many powerful and intelligent monsters.
A magical hibiscus tree, a talking monkey, an iron-eating beast that can crush steel in one bite...
Although the text was obscure and difficult to understand, the little boy still enjoyed reading it. He only read translated text, which he could barely understand, and he had already begged his family to buy him many illustrations.
"I don't know who wrote the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. It's been a thousand years. It must have been made up by the ancients!"
The little girl answered in a very serious tone.
"Experts have said that it's impossible for an animal to be that powerful, and humans cannot surpass that limit!"
"Oh, then the expert must be right!"
The little boy nodded in deep agreement, but still scratched his head somewhat unwillingly.
Is there even the slightest possibility that it's true?
"No, there isn't!" The little girl shook her head and answered obediently, "Don't even mention the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, even the legendary Classic of Mountains and Seas that I've never seen is fake. There can't be any flying fish in the world!"
"oh."
The little boy lowered his head, feeling very disappointed.
Fairy tales are all lies.
It seems he needs to read more books that adults read.
The siblings played hand in hand on the city wall for a while before going home for dinner.
A remote desert region.
No one lives here, only endless city walls and sand.
Helicopters landed in front of the wall, and people dressed in uniforms with various skin colors got off.
Various high-tech bombs were placed in marked locations, and some people in white lab coats were constantly calculating something on computers.
From day to night, from night to day.
After three months of work, the plan was finally completed.
