Act Eighty-Three: As New as Old
The moon monster was furious, but even if he was now, it was too late to hit the earth.
The signal sent by the earth with all its strength and further enlarged by the sun swept violently in all directions.
The mad scientists on Earth not only detected this terrifying signal, but they also saw a strange scene through the images of radio telescopes.
The surrounding cosmic space actually trembled for a moment, and the ensuing ripples completely changed the appearance of those cosmic star maps that were originally observed by humans.
It's like touching a transparent border.
And those rippling out signals did not enter the cosmic space behind.
After a brief wave, the universe behind it returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
In this way, it is not so much the starry sky in the distance as the real sea of stars, but just a beautiful picture.
It's like being a person, facing the screen of your phone, with the wallpaper displayed on it.
If it were the same as it used to be, they might have gone crazy because of it.
Although science is a method of research, it is able to accept any reality and develop theories that conform to the law.
Scientists, however, are not so principled.
Scientists, such creatures, have all the shortcomings of human beings.
Even though they were pioneers, when they are older, they only believe what they believe.
And that, most of the time, is not a problem.
This is because the scientific conclusions reached by the previous scientific methods are applicable to the present, and the future can also be speculated to a limited extent.
But the problem is that once something major happens, they can't fully adapt to the research that they are exposed to.
However, they are not crazy now.
Because, in the past few months, they have not only seen monsters that would have appeared only in film and television dramas.
They didn't just see the silence of the book.
They also saw great changes in the human world, in the mode of production of human society.
Even, there is a monster living in the moon, and the earth itself can ignore the so-called scientific laws, magma and other ejection at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the ecosystem has not been completely destroyed.
The whole world seems to be tearing off the veil of reason and returning to its original madness.
These scientists still believe in scientific methodology, but they no longer believe in the world.
Therefore, the solar system in which the Earth is located seems to be a small enclosed space, and beyond the solar system, it is not surprising that the universe as originally seen is just a dynamic background.
Even, there are scientists who call up data from previous deep space probes.
It was found that once the deep space probe exceeded a certain distance, it no longer sent back signals.
Originally, I thought that this was just the lack of human technology, the distance was too far, or there was a strong source of interference.
However, now it seems that the probe either touched the boundary and disappeared, or passed through the boundary and reached another universe.
However, because humans are fantastical creatures.
The original mainstream theories have been defeated, but the theories that can explain the current situation can be easily identified.
For example, the cosmic bubble theory.
This theory holds that the universe is not a whole, but is made up of bubbles one after another.
It's like stirring soapy water in a basin of water, and many bubbles will be produced.
If we deduce from this theory, the bubble where the earth is located is likely to be an extremely small bubble.
As for the universe beyond the bubble wall, it is very likely that it is also a real universe.
However, it is a universe that cannot be reached.
Unless, like the earth, it emits such a powerful energy and passes directly through the bubble wall.
The moon monster enters the atmosphere.
It is huge in size and begins to rub against the atmosphere.
The largest meteorite in human history has been exposed to the public.
It's a magnificent picture that even the most advanced cinematic animations can't draw.
It's beautiful, it's beautiful.
However, before it could fall to the ground, humanity seemed to see its demise.
But just when it fell so fast that it was about to hit the ground.
Whether it is the mad scientists who still have to conduct scientific research even if the world is apocalyptic, or ordinary people, they have seen an even more shocking scene.
At the edge of the solar system, a finger suddenly appeared.
The thickness of that finger was the size of the moon.
What's even more bizarre is that the place where that finger appears is unusually smooth, and although it is facing away from the direction that humans cannot observe, the human brain can clearly recognize the layers of tissue structure.
This peculiar feeling, like that of a human being, looks at one's own skin and gives one a perspective from the inside out.
Perhaps, this is a superdimensional experience that goes far beyond the three-dimensional experience of humans.
The finger continued forward, and a hand appeared.
The hand almost exceeded the speed of light, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared above the Earth.
The moon monster that crashed into the earth showed a panicked expression when it saw this finger, even the tentacles.
And the two fingers of this hand, gently reaching down, pinched the earth that was falling to the ground.
Then, as if it were a quick retreat, before the people could react, the giant hand retreated.
In less than three seconds, along with the lunar monster, they all disappeared into the range that humans could observe.
The moon is gone.
The surging magma on Earth is no longer ejected.
People either walked out of their homes or stood up from the open ground, looking at the blue sky and feeling familiar and unfamiliar.
It seems that nothing has happened in front of them, just like yesterday, but the feeling of being in a different world shakes everyone's hearts.
The apricots of the Arctic are still chattering like a chatter.
The owners of the monster suits, although they still have their own abilities, all the items in the monster shop have become gray and unusable.
The monster group, these humanoid intelligent creatures with the most peculiar emotions for monsters, also felt empty in their hearts at the moment, as if they had lost something.
It's like a couple in love who has lost the person they love.
Or maybe a child who is waiting to be fed loses the mother who nursed it.
And beyond the Earth, outside the solar system, outside this block, another insignificant speck of dust, is recovering.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Boom! ”
It seemed like the first time, and it seemed like the last time.
A tiny particle is vibrating.
"Environmental Testing......
Fit for Survival......
Activated?
Activation! ”
Tiny monster core, soaked in a warm, viscous liquid.
Darkness, boundless darkness that doesn't know where to go.
A tiny red strand of flesh poked out from the core of the monster, constantly touching and exploring.
A surge from nowhere, pushing the tiny core to drift with the current.
This dark world seems to be extremely regular. Countless huge parts, like stars in the sky, circulate regularly.
Suddenly, the tentacle touched something.
The sea of warm liquid began to heat up rapidly, as if a red alert had been sounded.
The feeling of a huge crisis swept through the entire monster core.
The flesh that was originally explored turned into flagella and swayed suddenly.
In the dark world, it is like the only sun, shining in existence.
Aragaki woke up again.
It frantically devours the tissues around it, transforming it into its own tissue.
Soon, it reached the limits of this space.
It evolved into an eye that clings to a thick wall like glass.
Although the eyes it produces only belong to the ordinary human spectrum, it sees many colors that cannot be seen on Earth.
There is a colorful arc in the air, and this arc is intertwined, running through the entire space.
Other than that, on the outside of the glass walls, there is only a patch of pure white, although there are many differences from the architectural style on earth.
However, from the functional analysis, it can be known that this is a laboratory.
Since it is a laboratory, what is the test subject?
Aragaki suddenly felt a strong force suck in him, and its body left the glassware without his control.
He felt like he was being squashed, placed under something.
He saw a huge eyeball.
He could even see all the lines in this eyeball, and the aggregate of these lines was observing him with great interest.
Aragaki analyzed the limited information and came to a conclusion.
It is very likely that he is no longer on Earth, or even in the solar system.
As for where it is now, he doesn't know, and can only wait and see.
Luckily, though, he was once again confirmed that he had an almost immortal body.
Even if you are studying yourself by a creature that you don't know, you don't have to panic and be spoiled.
And at this moment of his awakening.
On the earth in the unknown distance.
Those dependents who belonged to him felt his presence for the first time.
Apricot looked up.
She looked in a distant direction, and although she couldn't see anything concrete, she felt something glowing.
The light was far brighter than the morning star, even more than the moon at night, and even more than the sun that shone on the earth.
The others, too, raised their heads at about the same moment.
Those top beings among the human beings have also seen the monster store restore its color at this moment.
In other words, those magical abilities can be purchased again.
And this also shows that the monster is not dead!??
Thinking of this, they suddenly felt like pins and needles.
After all, what they had done before was far from being explained by a dishonorable sentence.
Compared with banks, they are better at borrowing umbrellas on sunny days and collecting umbrellas on rainy days.
For these spokesmen who respect the rules of capital, they believe that land is the law of the jungle in the world of capital.
Whoever is strong will bow down to whomever he is.
Whoever is weak will devour its flesh and blood, so that it will die without a place to bury.
Everything they do to monsters is based on this law.
After all, according to their experience, the monster encountered such a powerful opponent, and it was absolutely dead that it could not die anymore.
But, who would have thought?
In that case, the monster was still alive.
Nervous, they reverted to their original orders.
Factories began to hire a large number of workers again.
This time, though, is different.
What those workers are doing is no longer meaningless labor, but a new kind of work, rebuilding the world.
Whether it's a volcanic eruption or the moon falling to the ground.
Changes to the earth's surface are visible to the naked eye.
Although these changes did not kill too many human beings, they also caused a lot of damage to the infrastructure that was originally built.
At the same time, volcanic eruptions have also brought abundant mineral deposits.
That is, it is a profitable thing to do.
However, in the world of traditional capital, it is never the shortage of resources that is feared. Rather, it is confusion with relative overproduction, and relative inadequacy of spending power.
Therefore, when it is not profitable, production is contracted.
Therefore, ordinary human beings, when calculating the cost of childbearing, will find that having children is an unprofitable thing, so they are biased towards self-castration.
However, now all this is not a problem.
Although the spending power is still insufficient, for those top players under this set of rules, they have a new goal.
Now that the goods in the monster shop can be exchanged again.
The tasks assigned to them by the monsters before have not changed, and they can still obtain their own monster points through the labor of others.
What's more, although the monster didn't defeat the tentacle monster in the moon, it is still alive, doesn't it also mean that it is very strong?
In that case, let's move on.
As a result, although the monster is far away and the moon is gone, the operation mode of the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
However, there are still many people who are trying to find Aragaki.
Researchers, led by Akane Koike, are still working on new abilities.
The members of the monster team, led by Yusa, collect all the information of human spaceflight, and they plan to build a super rocket and move in the direction that is more than the sun shining for them.
And various countries have also begun the space race that has been sealed for a long time.
If you want to prioritize economic benefits, you have forgotten about them.
Even, many countries have begun to think about whether the state is still necessary to exist as a community of consciousness.
Is humanity really going to the moment when it comes to science fiction, a global federation, or an earth nation?
However, all these matters are only discussed in private.
After all, even if they all have intentions, who is in the driver's seat is a matter worth discussing.
It is foreseeable that if there is really a memory of union, the level of noise is even more serious than that of the vegetable market.
Aragaki in another area, though he doesn't know everything on Earth.
However, a little bit of energy told him that there were still many people missing it on that distant planet.
And his computing power also allowed him to understand new words and understand the conversations of those strange lives. I know where this is, why I am being studied.
He is a highest-level research institute in Super Life, and the reason he is being studied is because he is a "part" of the lunar monster. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
