"It can barely be explained, and the relationship with history ......" Guan Li is not very satisfied with this.

There is no doubt that "Forbidden Lands" is an excellent enough archive.

Whether it's the core premise of the "Naming Hazard", the connection to the Battle of the Factory and the Battle of Day and Night, or even the most critical hidden text that can only be accessed directly by modifying the URL, the idea of being used in this Foundation project archive is so amazing.

But it lacks that sense of historical weight and sacredness.

The theme of the 4000 race is "history" and nothing else.

"I think it's okay. "After all, it is written about the history of the Foundation's worldview, and it has nothing to do with real history." This is also a complement to the background behind the scenes of the SCP Foundation, and it makes sense to be chosen as a 4000. ”

"Looks like you have a good sense of this. Guan Li accepts different opinions, but at the same time he insists on his own opinions, "This is probably a difference in subjective preferences." ”

Just like the "forbidden land" that ranked first in the 4000 race was considered not heavy enough, the "Bush vs Gore" ranked second in the competition was also considered not serious enough.

SCP-4444-Bush vs. Gore tells the story of the "pinnacle showdown" between former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, whose brain was invaded by aliens, and Dr. Bright, who was crumbled by the Foundation as Bush.

-- In fact, in the 2000 US presidential election, Al Gore lost and Bush took office.

This article organically combines the various news and public opinion that happened in the real U.S. election with unusual events, plus Dr. Liang Liang - uh, I mean Dr. Bright - with the nature of trouble, and portrays the political struggle in an alternative way, which looks quite interesting.

Therefore, it is very normal for 4444 to be very popular on the main station in the United States.

However, for a Chinese like Guan Li, who does not care about the US election and does not know anything about politics......

"Okay, it's well written, but it's also ...... It's so fun, isn't it?"

Compared to the current mainstream "Dark Foundation", SCP-4444's style is more inclined to the once thriving "Happy Foundation".

It's not that he can't write funny-style files, but he still prefers something darker and deeper.

You can see every tiny ray of light clearly.

Fragile and tenacious.

"It's a lot of fun. "There is no problem with the system this time, because it is more ignorant of political battles," and my favorite of the entries is 'Eternal Alexandria.' ”

Guan straightened its words and clicked on SCP-4001-Eternal Alexandria, not forgetting to quip, "I thought you liked 'Forbidden Lands' the most. ”

"Actually...... I also think it's a little bit forced to connect with history. The system beeped quietly.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of the ass.

As the exclusive entertainment system of the SCP Foundation, how can it openly question the work itself?

But it's okay to just talk to your administrator.

No one else heard it anyway!

After the system spit out, he happily watched 4001 with Guan Li.

Although it has already been seen, it doesn't hurt to watch it again.

Good articles stand up to repeated viewing.

SCP-4001, a vestibule concealed by the Foundation in Alexandria, Egypt, is connected by a staircase that leads 15 meters underground.

Descending the stairs will lead to a room full of bookshelves.

No, the word "room" is too small to describe it, I should say "library".

A library that houses all the archives of all mankind.

"Every human being who has ever existed in this archive has a corresponding book detailing all the major events in their lives. As humans are born, new books are added to the archives. Each book is exactly the same size, about the size of a standard paperback, but the number of pages will vary depending on the person's longevity and breadth of accomplishments. ”

"Books stored in SCP-4001 are arranged chronologically at birth, with the names of their counterparts engraved on the spine and cover. The language used in the book bears no resemblance to any language known to the Foundation, but anyone with the ability to read and write can fully understand it when reading it. The total number of books is about 120 billion. ”

From 75,000 years ago to the present, the glorious history of mankind is here.

Everyone will be recorded by history, even babies who died before they were named, and they have their own nameless books.

These books cannot be taken out, but they can be altered.

Any additions, deletions, or changes to the content of the book will cause the change to happen to the book owner immediately.

The secondary influence caused by the owner will naturally change more of the book's content.

On the seventeenth day after the discovery of SCP-4001 and the beginning of its exploration, the Foundation encountered a living person inside and spoke to him in Ancient Greek.

According to his account, he entered the place 1,900 years ago and has lived here ever since.

He found his book, wrote on it with his own blood, and wrote himself into health, "to heal every sickness, every weakness, and then add a day to myself every time." ”

He called the library "she", and he volunteered to be the sole caretaker of the library, patrolling the endless walkways for two thousand years.

"My name is Theopoles, and I am the caretaker of the eternal city of Alexandria, and she is the most important thing in the world. ”

"This is our greatest resource, the eternal record, the gift of all that has been, since the dawn of mankind, the gods have given us. ”

"She needs me, she has to have a caretaker. Someone is going to patrol her aisles, admire her books, and let her know that she is loved. She sometimes spoke to me as I wandered in the light. ”

"She left me a message, in my reel. She whispered to me in the dark, and the scroll recorded her whispers as she read them to me. ”

"She told me to wait, so I waited. I walked past her, end to end, and again and again. I have read all kinds of lives, some simple, some glorious, some beautiful, some ugly. ”

"I've waited for change. All her scrolls, except mine, became bound volumes, and then these little things you call "books." Her torch and skull had become candles, and now she had become this strange oil-burning "lamp," as you call it, and her woven benches had become this leather-compressed oddity. ”

"I waited so long for someone to show up and tell me that my work was not in vain. ”

He waited for a visitor from civilization two thousand years later, from the Foundation.

So his mission was finally over, and he probably knew it for a long time.

The caretaker made a final request to the Foundation, wanting to see the sky again.

It has been 1,900 years since he last saw the stars, and he has watched the history of all mankind through the long darkness of 1,900 years.

The Foundation acceded to his request, and after a request from Dr. With Koudopolis' assistance, he was taken out of the stairs on a clear night, died shortly after sunrise, and was buried in a small tomb outside the city.

So the Foundation became her new caretaker.

Explore her knowledge and abilities by a variety of means.

She can influence reality, she can rewrite history.

Yes, she can do it.

As long as she does something with those books, or somebody does something with those books.

The slightest modification of the books of early humanity was enough to destroy the entire history of mankind.

Maybe it's already happened.

The Foundation found ash covering most of the floor under her carpet, the remains of wood and paper burned out 70,000 to 80,000 years ago.

What this means is unknown.

It's like the archivist Dr. Lincoln Abrams, the current caretaker of the Eternal City of Alexandria, put it: "We must never forget that this place allowed us to enter, and we must not forget to respect it." Otherwise, Alexandria could end us all. ”

It is a sacred temple, a monument to human civilization, and a history with its own personality.

- "Seductive and comfortable, great and noble, ancient and dusty".
