Gregorian calendar year 2099

At a time when technology is changing rapidly and AI has replaced most physical labor and a small part of non-abstract intellectual labor, this should have been an era where everyone is comfortable, happy and contented.

However, the international situation is turbulent, countries are at war with each other, and two major factions are gradually forming under the alliance. The entire human civilization is like a powder keg that is about to explode. The weak peace in the storm, nuclear deterrence can be said to be standing. Great work.

Nuclear deterrence has greatly suppressed the possibility of large-scale gunpowder wars, but on a battlefield without gunpowder, countries are not polite at all.

The latest non-smoke war took place in the economic field. Although there was no gun smoke, the consequences were no less than those of a war with gun smoke.

Latecomers named this war [War of Currency].

That war almost set the global economy back by 50 years. The credit of mainstream international currencies such as the Eagle Yuan, Xia Yuan, and the Euro was almost cut in half. It also indirectly caused hundreds of millions of people in backward countries to starve to death.

But also because of the currency war that lasted for ten years, Blue Star's economy took off rapidly after the currency war ended.

There are no winners in this war, because all countries were forced to hand over their currency issuance rights; similarly, all winners in this war are because a new currency [United Currency] has emerged, which is jointly issued by the upper five permanent members and the lower ten permanent members. Provide supervision.

The emergence of the United Coin has made trade between countries unprecedentedly prosperous, and Blue Star's economy has recovered after ten consecutive years of decline.

Except for Eagle Country, almost all countries believe that the final result of the currency war is victory.

However, the outcome of the currency war cannot satisfy all countries, and it is even more difficult to pass on the fruits of victory to the bottom layer.

In areas other than where the economy as a whole and on average is doing well, everything is in shambles.

In various countries, under the influence of high unemployment, the social environment is depressing, and most people live on relief funds. In some countries, there are demonstrations and shootings almost every day, and hostility surrounds everyone.

All countries face a common problem: a harsh external environment and a fragile internal environment.

In such a terrifying atmosphere, the confrontation between the various forces came to an abrupt end.

December 15

This is a day worthy of being written into history books.

On this day, the entire Blue Star leadership group gathered at the United Nations Building in Antarctica.

154 heads of state, 6 rebel leaders, 14 gang bosses, 8 terrorist organization leaders, 3 dark website leaders, and 26 tribal chiefs.

This is the first such high-scale gathering of supreme leaders in the history of human civilization.

Of course, if this is nothing, the next one must be heavyweight.

Humanity has come into contact with alien civilization for the first time.

The General Assembly Hall, which has been closed for nearly ten years, is open again.

Generally speaking, normal United Nations meetings will not use this kind of conference hall, which is like a lecture. In order to reflect equality and respect, normal meetings generally use circular conference rooms.

At this moment, on the rostrum in front, a man with red eyes in a black coat was talking endlessly in a language that did not exist on the Blue Star.

The heads of various forces sat under it. There was a document bound on A4 paper on the table in front of them, and the simultaneous translator in their ears transmitted the language of their country.

"You are lucky to have been discovered by us before the Shadow World was activated."

"I don't have much time to stay, so I won't talk nonsense. For details, you can look at the information on your desk. It records the common characteristics of the shadow world of various civilizations that we have compiled, because the shadow worlds of different civilizations are different. , there’s only so much information we can provide.”

"You still have 12 years to develop in the Shadow World. We have tried to leave people behind to assist the new civilization in the past, but without exception, they all left and never came back. All the people left behind were destroyed together with the new civilization. ”

As he spoke, the red-eyed man moved his hand, and several small holes were dug out of the floor tiles and concrete beneath his feet.

"We don't want to make this kind of sacrifice without seeing the results anymore, so the final result can only depend on you. Of course, other assistance is within the scope allowed by the system, and we will provide the greatest support."

I saw the excavated concrete block floating in the hand of the red-eyed man. Under the influence of unknown force, the atomic structure of the cement block seemed to have changed. After a few minutes, the original cement block gradually turned into 11 radiating particles. The small balls emitted azure light, but one of them was obviously smaller.

"Because your planet only has a population of 10.7 billion, we can only provide 10.7 talent cores. Install them on the landing module. When you land in the shadow world, you will get a talent. This is a one-time thing. I personally recommend it to those with outstanding individual abilities. people."

"In addition, I have set up more than a dozen production lines for you with landing modules and landing helmets. The relevant technologies and blueprints will also be left behind. You can find ways to expand them yourself."

After speaking, the man looked at his watch.

"Finally, before I leave, I will awaken the will of your planet, and it will give you some help."

"By the way, as the will of the planet awakens, there will be second-level seismic waves covering the world. Places near the seismic zone may experience higher-magnitude earthquakes due to chain reactions. This is a normal situation when the will of the planet awakens. , you handle it yourself.”

"That's all there is to say. Well, I hope to see you again in 12 years."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white beam of light appeared and enveloped the man, disappearing with him in an instant.

Above Mount Everest

A huge spaceship is docked here.

The red-eyed man who disappeared in the United Nations General Assembly Hall a second ago gradually condensed into a figure in the spacecraft.

"Has the data been adjusted? Speed ​​up, we're too late, I don't want to stay here waiting to die." As soon as his figure condensed, the red-eyed man spoke.

"It's ready, but we still need to wait two minutes for the energy to be loaded. This new civilization is about to enter the final stage. We can't leave any traces, so we can only rely on machinery to work. Naturally, it should be slower." Sitting in the driver's seat. The woman in white robe stretched out and closed the paper book in her hand.

"Are you actually interested in this civilized thing?" The red-eyed man looked at the large characters "Book of Mountains and Seas" on the cover of the paper book and asked doubtfully.

"This civilization is a bit strange." The woman in white robe frowned.

"According to data testing, this planet's will is much stronger than other civilized planets, and this thing." The woman in white robe held the "Book of Mountains and Seas" and shook it in front of her face. "It actually recorded some information about those holy areas, although most of it is incomplete and many are wrong."

"Not only this one, but also these." The woman in white robe swiped her finger in front of her face, and a light curtain appeared, with books with simple covers arranged one after another on it.

"Olympus...", "Garden of Eden", "Emperor Wa...", "Buddha...", "Kesu..."...

"This is too strange. If time were not limited, I would have stayed to investigate."

"It's a bit strange." He reached out and pulled out a paper book from the light screen. The man with red eyes flipped through it and nodded. He turned around and looked at the charging progress of the fully charged energy. "But there's no time for us to think about that now."

Suddenly, a disturbance spread outward from the center of the spacecraft. As the disturbance appeared, a huge ball of light condensed below the spacecraft.

The color of the light ball kept changing, and finally it seemed that it had gathered to the limit. With a roar, it turned into a beam of light and shot straight down.

Without any collision, the beam passed through the atmosphere, passed through the mountain wall, passed through the stratum, and shot straight into the core of the earth.

An invisible wave spreads outward from the earth's core.

"Let's go! Mission accomplished, maybe this strange civilization can survive."

"Who knows, come back in twelve years. I hope it won't be desolate by then. It's been 100 million years since any new civilization entered the universe, right?" The woman in white robe sighed.

"Hurry up and activate the jumping device! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Seeing that the woman in white robe was still in good health, the man with red eyes urged as he looked at the time on his watch.

00:00:56

There was a fluctuation in time and space, and the spaceship disappeared through the temporarily opened wormhole as if fleeing.

United Nations General Assembly Hall

The meeting did not end with the departure of the man in black.

Looking at the information left by the man in black, a new round of discussion began.

After 5 hours of discussion, the final meeting decision was as follows:

1. Package the shadow world into a virtual game and make it public. According to the information provided by the man in black, Shadow World is more like a digital world, and there is nothing wrong with calling it a game.

2. Stop real-life conflicts between all national groups and put all conflicts in the shadow world to resolve, but large-scale conflicts in the shadow world are prohibited. According to the information given by the man in black, death in the shadow world will occur simultaneously in the real world. Because we need to face the crisis in 12 years together, mass deaths are not allowed.

3. Release all information about the film world ten years later.

4. Let everyone enter the shadow world as much as possible.

5. Close all online games.

Meeting after meeting was another meeting.

Compared to the calm atmosphere of the previous meeting, the meeting was extremely noisy because this meeting decided to allocate the 10.7 talent cores and more than a dozen production lines.
