If what happened on the second day was only related to people over 55 years old in China.
What happened on the third day, then, concerns all of humanity worldwide.
At noon that day, the survivors in the northern coastal areas of China clearly felt the earth tremble.
That was a long-awaited earthquake.
The tremor wasn't strong; it seemed to have happened in a very distant place.
Everyone immediately started speculating.
Since the cold wave arrived, it seems that the activity of global tectonic plates has slowed down.
The frequency of earthquakes has decreased significantly.
But why has it suddenly reappeared now?
Just when everyone was wondering, the official announcement suddenly brought good news.
The second "Earth Thawing Project" has begun trials on the Japanese islands and has achieved a major breakthrough, with the potential to thaw the world within two years.
The message was accompanied by a long video, which was released to survivors by various shelters.
At the beginning of the video, the person filming is standing on a snowfield where the location is not clearly visible.
Surrounded by a large number of armed personnel, aircraft, and tanks, it looked like a heavily guarded military base.
200 meters ahead of him was a strangely shaped but futuristic-looking tower.
As the countdown of 3, 2, 1 came over the loudspeaker.
A sudden, loud, buzzing electrical sound rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled, causing numerous spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the solid ice layer.
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed in the video, and for a moment nothing could be seen.
As the photographer adjusted the lens aperture, the image gradually returned to normal.
However, all that could be seen was a bright, blazing pillar of light, like the legendary golden cudgel that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.
This pillar of light contains extremely terrifying and violent energy.
As the light and shadow flickered, the surrounding air visibly rose considerably.
The surrounding ice melted instantly, rising into wisps of mist that lingered all around.
The ground was obscured by moisture, so the camera lens was raised to face the sky.
Only then did everyone realize that the view from the sky was far more breathtaking than that from the ground.
Needless to say, the falling snowflakes melted away instantly.
The dark, thick clouds now looked as if a red-hot iron rod had been inserted into cotton.
It sank deep into the sky, gradually forming a spacious passage.
Logically, if there's a gap in the clouds, sunlight can shine onto the ground.
However, the beam of light was too intense and bright.
To people on the ground, even sunlight pales in comparison.
In an instant, the entire sky was bathed in a vibrant orange-yellow light.
Like a long-lost fiery sunset, or even more like a celestial phenomenon of rosy clouds filling the sky, its beauty is beyond words.
At the gap in the clouds, a large amount of evaporating water vapor gathered around the pillar of light.
A thick, swirling ring of white mist formed.
The ring was also bathed in golden light, making the towering pillar of blazing energy look even more like the Golden Cudgel.
The first scene of the video has ended.
The scene then shifts to a desolate, uninhabited Japan.
The camera is pointed directly at Mount Fuji, 30 kilometers away.
High in the sky, the same extraordinary celestial phenomenon unfolded, with the sky ablaze with rosy light.
A golden beam of light suddenly pierced through the clouds and descended, plunging straight into the crater of Mount Fuji.
Immediately afterwards, two more slightly darker golden beams of light fell from both sides, shooting diagonally into the crater.
There were three beams of light, which seemed to form an inverted "δΈͺ" (ge) character.
Liu Kai, who was familiar with the unfreezing plan, knew about it.
The vertically falling beam of light was a ray weapon launched from within China, reflected by a mirror in space.
Those two slightly dim, slanted beams of light should be sunlight beams gathered by concave mirrors in space.
With the combined force of the three forces, the ground trembled even more violently.
Mount Fuji, which has been dormant for a long time, is slowly reviving.
finally.
A transparent shockwave suddenly erupted from the summit of Mount Fuji, visible to the naked eye.
It stirred up icy spray from all around, which then spread rapidly in all directions.
A plume of thick, black smoke rose from the crater.
It drifted toward the gap in the clouds in the sky, as if it wanted to firmly block the gap.
The three beams of light seemed to have completed their mission and went out at that moment.
But Mount Fuji's reaction did not stop; large amounts of bright, hot lava spewed from its crater and sprayed outwards.
Just then, the first shockwave had barely crossed more than 30 kilometers and reached the location of the person filming the video.
"boom!!!"
A deafening sound rang out in the video.
Even from this distance, you can still see the raging winds brought about by the violent energy.
The scene was filled with flying sand and stones, and the photographer was blown around and couldn't see anything.
The following scenes are from Act 3, Act 4, and Act 5.
All the filming took place near a large active volcano in Japan.
The same beam of light, the same shockwave, the same trigger for a volcanic eruption.
These images did not last long.
Soon, the final scene shifts to space.
The video angle appears to be shooting down from the space station.
The entire Earth was originally shrouded in thick white clouds, making it impossible to see the location as clearly as before.
But soon, a beam of light suddenly rose from somewhere and shot into the dark depths of space.
There, at an altitude far exceeding that of the space station, lies a geosynchronous orbital reflector.
Rays travel at the speed of light.
In the video, it touched the reflector in just a brief moment, turned back, and plunged into another place covered in thick clouds.
