Loran Hill carefully examined the information and memories stored in it, feeling the changes of the times.
After the end of the world, except for a very small number of elites who entered hibernation devices, most ordinary people on Earth disappeared in the long dark years until nearly 1,000 years later.
The flame of civilization was ignited again when the humans sleeping underground woke up.
After entering the new era, due to the harsh external environment, humans had to stick together for warmth and became unprecedentedly united, while the total number of humans at this time did not exceed three million.
They began their migration from Antarctica towards warmer regions, enduring numerous storms and attacks by exotic beasts along the way before finally settling on a small island. By then, fewer than two million humans remained.
After settling down here, the Human Survival Commission held its first meeting, considering the various dangers that might be faced in the future and the possibility of the extinction of civilization.
The meeting ultimately decided that humans would temporarily suspend their exploration of the world and instead focus on developing aerospace facilities, heading into the sky under the guidance of supernatural powers.
40 years later, the prototype of the anti-gravity device was developed, and the population recovered to 5 million.
The first floating city was built. It consisted of 65 giant reefs, each of which had several anti-gravity suspension devices, with trees, soil, and a circulating ecosystem on it, which could support 3,000 people.
These reefs are kept at a close distance in the air and connected by iron chains. Each floating reef has its own function. Some are used for planting, some for living, and some for defense.
Although it was very simple, it laid the foundation for the subsequent large-scale floating cities.
In the next 60 years, science and technology began to fully revive and developed in new directions under the guidance of extraordinary forces.
Almost unlimited clean energy and controlled nuclear fusion, a project that was unlikely to succeed before the end of the world, has now finally been put into various applications, from the floating operation of cities to the flight power furnaces of airships.
Technology began to expand explosively, and the human population exceeded 100 million and headed towards 200 million.
The former floating city gradually failed to meet the needs of development, and humans in the twilight age began to counterattack the earth. This was around 3600 AD.
During this period, in order to fight or become stronger, various organizations and schools emerged, and the most famous of them were the 'Tree of Life Sect' and the 'Mechanical Parliament'.
Through the research of the Tree of Life sect, an intelligent race with extraordinary powers emerged. According to Loran Hill's speculation, this may be the prototype of the orcs.
They have the characteristics of various beasts.
But the 'Tree of Life Sect' was not satisfied with this. Although the orcs had a slight advantage, they could not reach an absolute advantage. So the second batch of plans was put on the agenda, this time they were the 'Dragon Project' and the 'Titan Project'.
Ancient myths have brought endless inspiration to mankind. When cutting-edge technology is combined with extraordinary power, it may become as magical as myths.
Dragons and giants appeared on the earth, and the terms "Dragon Order" and "Titan Order" also appeared in the records for the first time. The Dragon Order pursued strength in every aspect, whether it was defense, attack, flight, adaptation, soul, etc.
The Titan sequence specializes in the physical body of an individual. They are hundreds of meters tall, like pillars supporting the sky, walking on the earth.
However, in the actual battles that followed, the Tree of Life Sect gradually discovered the shortcomings of the Dragon Sequence. Although it was powerful, it had low replicability and reproduced slowly.
The advantage of quality cannot surpass the advantage of quantity. When facing the numerous strange beasts on the land and in the sea, these scattered dragons, although powerful, cannot fundamentally change the situation of the battle.
As a result, the Titan Sequence became more favored by the Tree of Life Sect, and more and more resources were allocated to it.
However, there were still a small number of people in the organization who did not give up on this direction. After returning to the earth, they established a new stronghold. Later, the stronghold was breached by the Mechanical Council. A small number of people went underground and established the reserve to store previous research results and gene banks.
----------
October, 3697 AD.
Writing a diary seems to be a very distant thing, but there are fewer and fewer colleagues left in the base. In order to vent some of the thoughts in my heart, I have no choice but to write a diary.
Looking back, everything now seems like a dream, which makes people sigh.
I still remember when I was a child in the Green Leaf Floating City, I was only 9 years old, just a few years after I walked out of the artificial reproductive chamber. The teacher wrote on the blackboard to us about the distant past, that is what the Earth used to look like.
The sunlight shone in from the window, and the shadows of the sparse leaves fell on the young teacher, who stood half in the shadow and half in the sunlight.
"Today, I will tell you about the disillusionment of the millennials."
"In the last era of civilization, around the year 2000, due to rapid technological advancements, humans were able to achieve a series of feats in just 20 years, including entering space, landing on the moon, and sending probes into outer space."
"According to human predictions at the time, technology would develop at an ever-increasing pace. Since humans were able to land on the moon within 20 years, colonizing the moon and even Mars would be a natural thing within 30-50 years. After the millennium, humanity would rapidly enter the space age, and the world would enter a brand new era."
"Literature, movies, animation, games, all kinds of fantasies about the future are filled with them, huge mechanical structures, galactic operas, grand goals, and so on."
