[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong

The tall woman wearing sunglasses stood at the top of the building, overlooking the brightly lit city in the night wind.

It is hard to imagine that the city under our feet was reduced to ruins by war just ten years ago.

It all starts with "that day".

One day about 20 years ago, human beings all over the world had a dream.

In that dream world, there are super technology, magic, heroes, and a big devil who wants to destroy the world. It has everything people imagine.

And the development there is just like the countless legends. Under the leadership of someone, people surpassed themselves and launched a decisive battle with the devil...

No one can say clearly what the final decisive battle will be like or how it will win or lose, but everyone remembers the feeling of holding "infinity" in their hands, as if omnipotent.

Then, woke up.

Everyone returned to the cold real life.

It seemed to be just a dream belonging to all mankind, maybe everything happened, maybe nothing happened, everything in the dream turned into an extremely vague memory.

Collective hallucinations caused by special electromagnetic waves in the universe, a secret military experiment by a certain power, an unsuccessful attack by aliens, interference in parallel worlds, memory recovery before the universe restarts...

Numerous hypotheses have been continuously put forward, while countless assumptions have been constantly denied.

Countless people have explored the "truth"——Netizens all over the world spontaneously organized before the government released the investigation report. They pooled all the materials they remembered in the dream and restored most of the world. Condition.

Then, a global human flesh search began.

In Nepal, someone found the Ancient One mage, but he, yes, it was him, just an ordinary old lama, without much spiritual power, let alone created any high-dimensional system spells.

In Europe, someone found Mr. Eric, an elderly Jew who runs a small metal processing factory - someone sneaked into the factory and installed a camera to find out if he was using superpowers to complete the work, but it turned out that people disappointed.

In the United States, someone found Tony Stark. This rich second generation who dropped out of MIT is very similar to the one in his dream, but only in terms of women. As for scientific research, it can only be said that people It is once again confirmed that the era of one person taking care of the entire scientific research project has passed.

Some people even found a plan for the establishment of the "High-tech Strategic Logistics Bureau" suspected of being the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. It is necessary to set up such an organization as superfluous!

But against the increasingly disappointing results of the search for strange people and strange things, there was a technological explosion during that time.

Numerous things that have not even appeared in basic theoretical research have appeared in the international market as products.

Genetic engineering and mechanical engineering are like boosters installed, overcoming countless difficulties in a very short period of time, changing the entire society at an astonishing speed.

Countless technologies that seem to emerge from the ground quickly intervene in everyone's life.

In the new year's budget released by various countries, the research project of the human brain wave remote transmission network occupies a frighteningly large proportion. It is said that there are already "research results" that will officially enter the human trial stage in the near future.

Anyone with a discerning eye understands what these mean.

——That dream is changing the world. ——

Then, a natural history process repeated countless times

——In this new round of scientific and technological competition in which several major powers are on the same starting line, the changing balance of power has seriously challenged the traditional spheres of influence of major powers. Military frictions and trade conflicts have finally triggered new wars—— East Asian Unified War.

In that war, countless new weapons and new technologies used iron and fire to eliminate all opponents who stood in their way. Under the circumstance that the battle would be defeated if they were not used, the new technologies were spread and used at the fastest speed. .

But the loss of those lives is not completely meaningless. With the proliferation of technology, those military technologies have also begun to be rapidly civilianized, bringing about changes in the entire world.

In that war where China had the last laugh, a new balance was established, and a new era dawned.

Stretching his limbs, looking at the smooth movements under the delicate skin, who can tell at a glance that this is a man-made thing?

Except for the brain, this beautiful body is just a shell. This technology has claimed countless lives during wars. Soldiers have truly become "parts" of the war machine—disability is no longer a reason for soldiers to leave the battlefield. Reason, every soldier is like the slogan "Fight to the death"...

But now, this technology has become the gospel of all physically handicapped people, and they will never be able to leave that hospital bed without it (Note 1).

What's ridiculous is that my current job is another technology that counters the proliferation:

The electronic brain—it is not known whether it is a clumsy reproduction of the "brain network" in the dream or a technology that is further surpassed—brings new problems.

[Suzi, confirmed, let's do it. 】

In the brain network, an old man who looked a bit like a skinny monkey issued an order.

[He's really a bossy dad. 】

Suzi smiled, took off the windbreaker on her body, and jumped off the rooftop with a movement like diving from a high platform.

[But who said this is work? 】

........................

What's it like to survive among a bunch of hostile aliens?

fear?despair?confused?

neither.

Because you don't feel anything - because you basically don't have time to think about those philosophical questions after a day of fighting.

I don't know the reason for the past events, everyone's memory is quite ambiguous and fuzzy, but everything around is reminding everyone of the reality of that "dream".

——Aliens exist, and we humans have the possibility to become gods! ——

In my memory, everyone who knew the situation trembled in awe, and even those alien races who were far superior to human beings in terms of technology and body, could only wait for the warring parties to decide the winner and then drop their own destiny , in a war far beyond anyone's imagination.

There are only two human beings who are eligible to step into that battlefield—and, coincidentally, those two represent the two sides at war.

No one knows how the war ended, as neither side ever fought again.

But obviously, the war ended so inexplicably. Although countless technologies and mutants' abilities failed after the war, at least people don't have to worry about their world turning into a hell of rotten flesh.

But what people didn't expect was that after the war that swept across the multiverse finally subsided, the human beings stranded on the alien planet began to find that the aliens' eyes on themselves had changed, becoming a little... ...be subtle.

A certain unknown religion began to spread among the aliens. A "Star Alliance" that relies on religion as a bond and unites various aliens is gradually replacing Asgard, whose rainbow bridge has failed, and becoming the new controller of the Nine Kingdoms. .

In that teaching, human beings deservedly occupy the position of "demons", but no aliens have ever cared about the fact that the "precursors" who play the role of gods are also human beings - even now the symbol is still printed on many human tools.

As the first elite of humanity to come into contact with aliens as representatives, the situation quickly gained the highest regard.

The expatriate representatives of several major countries organized to discuss countermeasures, and under the circumstances that they could not get in touch with the earth in the foreseeable future, a miniature United Nations was established.

However, the abnormal failure of the first meeting - the panic after losing contact with the earth, the possible threat of powerful aliens, the pros and cons of people from different countries, etc. cannot be resolved by one meeting.

What finally resolved the internal conflicts of human beings was an attack. The "resurrected" Frost Giant Wang Laofei became a "prophet" in the Star Alliance because he almost destroyed the people on Earth. After the attack on the mine, all that was left after the attack were countless destroyed machines and ice slag all over the ground, without any survivors—even those who surrendered were mercilessly killed.

The miniature United Nations has since entered a wartime system, and countless news from various members have been compiled.

The aggregated news was mixed.

There are many, many bad news. Among the Nine Kingdoms, even Asgard, which is the most human-oriented, is not prepared to help humans this time. Why five of the Nine Kingdoms have joined the Star Alliance as a whole, and even the rest are not prepared to help humans. I'm thinking, what kind of small and reliable human base is constantly being attacked, why those "incarnations" in the basement can't be used, not to mention even the original mutants have lost their abilities...

And the biggest problem facing the participants is: the number of human beings is too small now, including all the human beings scattered in the Nine Great Kingdoms, there are no more than 10 people, and currently less than [-] people can be contacted.

But no one is willing to depend their fate on the "goodwill" of aliens. The multiverse war has made everyone understand what they can do, and the proposal of "we will give them war if they want war" was unanimously passed.

But the reality is extremely desperate. Lack of industry, resources, and population, this human group hanging alone in the sea of ​​stars seems so fragile at this moment.

The good news is that because of the collapse of the Rainbow Bridge, when humans lost contact with each other, those aliens who were hostile to humans could not quickly gather together and crush these humans to death with the power that humans cannot match.

What makes people even more gratified is that although the brain network no longer exists, it still leaves a gift:

It is a technology that transcends the times, and after repeated demonstrations by scientists, it can definitely be realized in this new world, and it is enough to lay down the capital for human beings.

The cruel reality makes it no doubt that the route of building an army can only move forward on the road of fewer but better and vigorously developing intelligent weapons.

The only problem is, humans need time.

In this case, heroes can always be born among human beings.

At this time, some people stood up, and they voluntarily accepted the genetic modification in the gift with a high mortality rate due to technical conditions, and voluntarily acted as human shields to resist the coming weapons.

That plan became known as the "Spartan Plan" after the heroes of old.

And those soldiers were also called Spartan warriors.

With the private help of Asgard's Crown Prince Loki, most of the people hid in the icy mountains of Jotunheim before the war started.

And shouldering the arduous task of attracting the large forces of the Star Alliance and buying time for human beings to develop has become the most difficult task for every Spartan soldier.

"Cortana, what did you write in the mission log again?"

With this magnetic voice is a warrior wearing a high-tech fully enclosed armor. Now he is cleaning the thin frost on his body while curiously asking about his intelligent AI.

[Report, I am just reviewing the history, so that people who read this report in the future can have a more comprehensive understanding of the incident. 】

Cortana, who had a pale blue female figure, replied with a solemn salute.

"Okay, how long did I sleep this time?"

However, Master Chief didn't mean to delve into his unique intelligent AI.

[Two hours and 37 minutes, 7 minutes longer than the scheduled assembly time. 】

Cortana seemed disturbed as she spoke.

"Why didn't you wake me up when it was time?"

The Master Chief looked up and looked around, there was nothing there except the howling wind and icy rocks.

"Whether it's the rest of the company or the scheduled supply delivery, haven't they arrived?"

【……Feel sorry. 】

Cortana looked down.

"No need to be sorry, it wasn't your fault."

After the Master Chief comforted Cortana, he stood up decisively.

"Okay, since the agreed time has passed, let's leave here immediately."

【Master Chief, aren't you worried? 】

But compared to the Master Chief's decisiveness, Cortana asked puzzledly:

[Others did not arrive, most likely because they had already sacrificed, and the scheduled supplies did not arrive because the shelter has been closed...]

"Yes, those are all possible, and I may even be the last human on this planet.

But so what?I'm still that Spartan warrior, all I can do is try my best to do everything I should do! "

The Master Chief interrupted Cortana's words, he looked towards the endless mountains, his eyes seemed to pass through space and time, and turned to the human sanctuary hidden deep in the mountains.

He prayed for the safety of all gods and beings he knew, and would pay any price—even if it was his soul.

"Okay, it seems that we need to take a little risk——Cortana, where is the Covenant logistics base we discovered last time?"

[At our direction of 7:26:11, the distance is 152 kilometers. 】

"Well, let's go to them to borrow some supplies."

After speaking, the Master Chief patted the electromagnetic rifle/gun that had been covered with a layer of white frost and took a big step.

On the blue barren land, against the backdrop of the huge planet in the sky, a single warrior embarked on a journey—a journey to fight for all known human beings.

The author has something to say: 4K+, it should not be enough to watch.

People don't want to move when the weather is hot...

Note 1: Let me tell you, here is an anime setting. Suzi was paralyzed in a car accident when she was young, and she regained her life after getting full-body prosthetic technology.

The city set in the original version of "Ghost in the Shell" comics is Hong Kong instead of Japan in the animation or the United States in the movie (it seems that the country is not mentioned anywhere in the movie, and the city feels like a hodgepodge of Japan and the United States), and it was true before There was an East Asian war, and the result of the war was that China had the last laugh and brought the whole of East Asia into its sphere of influence.
