The rain was pouring down, and the continuous rain threads merged into one piece. The thick clouds in the sky made it hard to breathe. There were no people on the streets, only isolated street lights and the gray ground.
The turbid water gurgled in through the entrance of the sewer. One foot stepped on the wet ground, splashing water, then quickly lifted it up and walked quickly forward.
It was as if Loran Hill had stepped into someone else's perspective, watching the past scene from his own experience. This was undoubtedly the memory stored in that small disc.
Although the various feelings are close to the real thing, there is still a slight gap. With her extraordinary perception, she can detect some imperfections. Moreover, the perspective cannot be rotated and there is no interaction within the scene. It is still very different from Lagertis's diary.
However, this still does not diminish the preciousness of this memory.
What is now presented before Loran Hill is the end of the 21st century on Earth in the distant past.
The raindrops fell on the owner of the memory, making Loran Hill feel a chill, but the clothes he wore seemed to be made of special materials, and the water droplets could not penetrate, but just rolled down his body.
After turning a few streets, he gradually saw other people on the road. They were wearing the same white robes as himself and had rain hoods.
There was a unique triangular symbol on the back of the white robe, which looked like a clock pattern. Although I couldn't see the back at the moment, I could roughly guess that they were exactly the same.
This group of people in white robes gathered in front of a square and stood in the rain, forming a square formation in an orderly manner. No one was giving orders, no one was speaking, and everything was silent.
Ten minutes later, a man wearing the same white robe walked to the front of the stage. The only difference was that he had two red rings on his cuffs.
"The final moment has arrived."
After taking the stage, the leader's voice spread throughout the venue.
"Based on statistics and data simulations from observatories around the world, it will take about a thousand years for the Earth to return to a habitable state."
"This means that in the long darkness ahead, countless lives will die, and the Earth's ecosystem will be reshuffled."
"Even though we humans consider ourselves to be the chosen ones of heaven, we still cannot escape 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 the last hope to you."
"I don't want to repeat how rare this qualification is. For every one of you who survives, there are at least hundreds or thousands of people who have dedicated themselves and sacrificed for this."
"They gave up so much in exchange for your right to live. So that you can once again support human civilization more than a thousand years later."
"I hope you will remember the heavy expectations and numbers behind this."
....
"Finally, let us swear again."
Silent figures raised their right hands, letting the raindrops slide across their faces, and shouted under the dim sky.
"I will become a torch as strong as steel and stone, the flame that keeps civilization alive."
"The Amber Millennium Project has officially begun!"
The planners, dressed in white robes, walked into a deep tunnel where an elevator led directly to hundreds of floors underground. There they would avoid all kinds of interference from the outside world and hibernate for a thousand years until the clouds in the sky dissipated again.
-------
As time passed, when those who had been sleeping in the underground hibernation chambers woke up again, the earth had become a completely different place.
The power bestowed by Mana allows plants to grow abnormally lushly. The bones strengthened by extraordinary power can bear larger and heavier bodies. Giant beasts with heads held high as high as a hundred meters move slowly on the land, and there are countless predators in the ocean.
In order to better fight against the monsters all over the earth and survive, the humans who have emerged from hibernation formed the "Human Survival Committee"
The revived earth was wild and full of dangers. Even guns and cannons could not subdue the ferocious monsters. For this reason, humans had to move to the sky.
The protagonist of the memory participated in the revival and guidance of many technologies. Under the influence of extraordinary powers, the materials science in this world also had a special advanced direction.
Although mass production is difficult, some things that far surpass the past are gradually taking shape. Controlled nuclear fusion, which has almost unlimited energy, is also gradually maturing at this stage.
Due to the dangers of the ground, the main materials of human tools have changed from metal and plastic to a large number of wooden structures, and sailing airships shuttle between various floating cities.
More than a hundred years later, at the 62nd Human Survival Commission, a member proposed a plan.
"Since you have extraordinary powers, why not create an extraordinary race?"
“Why cling to the appearance and structure of the past?”
"In the past, due to the convenience of the brain and tools, humans gradually degraded all aspects of their physical abilities. It's hard to imagine that a fall from a staircase over three meters high could lead to death, especially for the most advanced life on Earth."
"Making bones harder doesn't mean you're no longer human; it's a sign of progress."
After adapting to life with extraordinary powers, some of human concepts are slowly changing. At this stage, the prototype of a school of thought begins.
They are no longer satisfied with their frail bodies of the past, and hope that the descendants of mankind will become stronger than the previous generation. Transforming life has become their most focused area.
Its theoretical slogans have also changed with years of research and progress.
If we can add an organ without affecting aesthetics and gain new capabilities, why wouldn’t we do it?
