Chapter 210: Circulation
"All in all, with the right hands-off, the whole community will naturally function. Guan Li pulled the page of the CN series and found that it had reached the second series, "When will the CN-1000 be released?"
System: "When you put the Foundation to play and run out all over the Internet." β
It was the only one that was working diligently on the website and keeping the database up to date with the updates of the Copyright Office.
"emmm......" Guan Li said that it was not a big problem, "I'll see what it writes." β
SCP-CN-1000 follows the tradition of the main station's entire thousand entries, and the number of the Chinese branch is naturally not something that can be given casually.
It is the prize belonging to the winner of the whole thousand contest with the highest score under the same theme.
The theme of this "SCP-CN-1000" competition is "circulation".
- "Civilizations, histories, legends, people have passed them down from generation to generation, and they have spread to all places. β
Many authors wrote their own files around the word "circulation", and finally won the numbered project called "2300".
"Is it the year?or something else?, will something happen in 2300?" Guan Li guessed as he clicked on the file.
On the front of it, there is a "The following requires level 5/CN-1000 clearance".
He looked at his account, okay, the permissions are enough, and continued to scroll down.
"Well, you see this. That... Fuck the Foundation. β
Guan Li: "......" He had a hunch that this author was going to make trouble.
Continuing to slide down for a distance, the text paragraph that finally appeared took on a completely different tone from the regular file, not so cold and accurate clinical tone, just an ordinary message.
Ordinary angry messages with expletives.
"I don't know how long this document will last. The previous permissions and the like were made up by the stuff so that overly cautious Level 5 personnel and low-level employees would try not to look down. β
"Fuck, I don't really know if I've found something I shouldn't see... Fuck, I don't understand. β
The commenter claimed to be an expatriate engineer from Foundation headquarters, responsible for the maintenance of the tachyon physics laboratory at Site-CN-91.
While he was routinely monitoring the lab, he received a batch of secret documents that would have been received by Site-01 due to the time fluctuations caused by the turbulence of the tachyons.
And the source of the file is from 300 years later.
He immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the documents, as Site-01 - a very core site as you could tell by the number - had always claimed that it had no research and containment functions, so to speak, as a management center.
But they are secretly receiving documents from 300 years later?
In confusion, the commenter opened the file, which was several files with the logos of half the Foundation and half of the GOC on the colophon.
The contents of the first file, referred to as "SAP-001", are described as "modified from a military assassination drone" and that "the shell has been highly modified and reshaped into a yellow-colored concrete statue".
After the modification was completed, it was transported to Pennsylvania, USA, in 1936.
The "Projected Impact" at the bottom of the file reveals a shocking truth -
"SAP-001 is to be transported to densely populated urban areas. It is speculated that SAP-001 will cause between 20 and 30 casualties before its nature is correctly summarized. β
"The nature of SAP-001 is to be circulated locally as an urban legend, while further casualties will be caused during this time. β
"Compared to traditional mythology, the story of SAP-001 will be more detailed and more credible. SAP-001 could be the beginning of a subculture of urban legends. β
Anyone who knows anything about the SCP Foundation can tell at a glance what it is.
"SAP-001" is "SCP-173", the "sculpture" that started the entire SCP creation process as the "first work".
The latter files are similar, with SAP-090 corresponding to SCP-008 and SAP-069 corresponding to SCP-914, both of which are well-known classics in the SCP world.
And these things...... These are the things that bring death and danger to mankind......
Are they all deliberately made and teleported back by people in the future?
Why?!
"Sorry guys, something went wrong. An engineer from China changed the cover page of our hide page and whined a little on it... Obviously, he thought that CN-1000 was really an empty page. β
"ISD is already dealing with this. No, don't worry, it's just amnestics. β
"We made a temporary entrance. Click here to return to the main project page. β
Reopening the main project page, the refreshed file is finally displayed in its normal Foundation format.
5/CN-1000 - Choke Secret
Object Class: N/A
SCP-CN-1000 is a collective name for anomalous events that occurred within 168 hours from 2300-1-1-00:00 (GMT+8) to 2300-1-7-23:59 (GMT+8).
To put it more simply, it was an anomalous outbreak that began at 0:00 Beijing time on January 1, 2300 A.D. and lasted for seven days.
This process includes, but is not limited to, the proliferation of anomalous objects that affect mental/physical/physiological/memetic/regional narrative styles, the rewriting of human consciousness, the falsification of commonly used concepts, the collapse of physical rules, and the flashback of reality on a large scale.
All kinds of disasters followed, and the intensity continued to increase with the level of human technology.
In an article "4K Overture: Foundation Fantasy Age" in the Center for the Formation of the Foundation, this point in time is vividly referred to as "the year of death".
It means that once time reaches this year, the whole world dies on the spot.
Of the 4,496 timelines that have been observed by the Foundation, none of them are able to see the future beyond that point in time.
They had to speculate that SCP-CN-1000 would occur indiscriminately across all timelines.
There have been 382 timelines of human civilization that have been completely destroyed by this process, and the Foundation has obtained their on-the-spot records.
Or rather, the doomsday record.
It was in this context that the Gengchen-3 "Choking" Protocol was born, established by survivors of an alternate timeline.
At the same time, the SAP project was established.
- Simulative Anomaly Project, simulating anomalous engineering.
They use technology to create "anomalies": statues that kill people, viruses that resurrect the dead, living machines......
These things are then teleported to a specific point in time in the target timeline.
Not only that, but in order to ensure the success of the project, members of the choke team from other timelines will also be teleported to a specific time.
They will intervene in the original timeline to induce and assist in the establishment of a normalcy maintenance organization in the human world.
So, yes, as you think.
The current timeline is also one of the targets of the Choking Protocol, and members of the Foundation's O5 Council, members of the Global Occult Coalition's High Command, and some field agents are all from other timelines......
Survivors vs. Losers.
They repeated the process countless times.
Constantly create anomalies, spread the existence of SAP, cultivate resistance groups, and then lead humanity to learn to fight "real anomalies" with "acceptable losses".
This is a large-scale military training that spans countless timelines, just to meet the war that is destined to come.
The timeline of the training failure had been destroyed at the end of the year of death, and the 382 field records were the tombstones that remained.
Not successful, at least not yet.
The closest they came to success, they held out for 24 hours, keeping major cities around the globe undestroyed.
Twenty-four hours later, the world overturned again.
Sometimes, before they even make it to the year 2300, humanity has already been killed and injured by SAP projects that are more harmful than expected.
The archives faithfully record everything, all the struggles and sinsβfrom the timeline of the initial deaths to the 381 subsequent chokings.
This is the 382nd world to be executed.
Fortunately, they still have time this time, and they are still a little bit away from 2300 years.
"We can't change our past, but we can still change their future. β
Some believe that they will find the only way to survive, and that endless despair and disillusionment will eventually collapse into a miracle.
But some people look back and see only their own hands full of sin, and more innocent lives.
At the end of the page, O5-12 sends an email to O5-1.
"You joined the council before I did, maybe maybe about 500 years? β
"It's time to stop, one. It's time to realize that the effects of choking can't go any further. β
"In the process of cultivating the Foundation and the GOC, how many times did the choking cause CK and how many XK? Maybe each of us killed someone with our own hands is better than SCP-CN-1000. β
"We kidnapped the best talent in the world 300 years before the end of the world with the delusion of 'fighting the anomaly' and made them die in the dark... That darkness was created by our own hands. β
"If there was no SAP, no choking, no Foundation, no GOC, people might have been able to enjoy a hundred years of peace before destruction. β
"That's the limit of human beings. 381 times, 95250 years. Enough fighting. And now we have a chance to make the world less sinful. β
"There's no need to let this go on. β
