Gaiden Earth Arc [1]
I was born in 2003, the year Chinese astronauts first went into space. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so my parents gave me a name, Dengtian, Chen Dengtian. But I never thought about it, and I guess no one thought that the first time human beings really arrived in another world, it was not by crossing the starry sky, but by traveling through time and space! And it will come so quickly and so suddenly......
On June 24, 2026, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, crashed out of an ultra-miniature black hole for the first time in history, broadening human understanding in the basic field of physics. However, at the same time as the ultra-miniature black hole was born, Dr. Evans, who was in charge of the work, did not know whether he was overexcited or overworked, and collapsed on the scene with a cerebral hemorrhage, becoming a non-living and non-dead vegetative person.
The whole world mourns!
But soon the doctors found signs of abnormal electrical discharges in the doctor's brain. Later, after brainwave reading and communication, the jaw of the world was shocked, and the doctor was not dead! His soul seems to have drifted to another world through a black hole. It's a pity that after a short exchange, there is no response...... It is not even known if everything the doctor said is true or just a dream. However, the speculation that black holes may lead souls and travel to other worlds has taken the world by storm. All countries in the world, countries with the ability to do so, have carried out research in this area.
In less than two years, another crossing experiment has been successful!
One of the traversers was so badly injured that he soon lost contact with him - modern medicine is far from being able to reverse life and death. The other crosses into an immovable body, which is connected, but cannot be seen or heard, and can only be depicted and explored with special senses, hanging like the living dead. There were accidents in other experiments, news was cut off, and there were no answers, and there were more than a dozen people in total......
Crossing is obviously a very risky job!
Although the risk is high, at least it proves that it is true.
The risk can't stop the curiosity of human beings, and the otherworldly crossing is completely popular! Whether at the top or in the private sector! Various capable powers have launched research, and the corresponding instruments and equipment are constantly updated, whether it is to improve the collision energy level, or brainwave reading, life support...... There are endless people who have signed up to participate in the experiment, just like the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony and the honor of the first moon landing. After all, in those days, there were only radio wave signals, and even televisions were luxuries, but now, the pervasive network has spread all over the world, and the speed of information transmission and interaction is too fast!
Even those small countries that do not have the ability are not far behind, or form teams, or hug their thighs, and try to get involved. China, which is competing with the United States for the world's largest economy, is no exception.
In 2029, the domestic super miniature black hole collider will be assembled online! An inconspicuous critically ill vegetative patient named Liang Kai successfully passed the selection and became one of the first experimenters. It was at this time that I completed my internship, successfully passed the doctoral dissertation defense, and officially joined the Extraterrestrial Exploration Bureau's Crossing the Otherworlds project team, becoming an ordinary scientific and technological worker standing at the forefront, which can be regarded as a disguised realization of my parents' long-cherished wish.
Prior to this, the Swiss and American colliders had carried out intensive collision experiments as many as 23 times, and in addition to death, no response, and disconnection, a total of 132 successful crossings were made, and 132 new otherworlds that may be isolated or overlapped -- because the migration of souls requires carriers, and only living worlds can be crossed.
The domestic collider carried out the twenty-fourth collision, and the world number starts at one hundred and thirty-three. No one thought that this time, it was this person named Liang Kai who rewrote the record, changed the course of the experiment, and even ...... Changed the world! Because he has traveled to a world with civilization, humanoid creatures, and advanced intelligence! There are written words, formed cities, unique political systems and religious beliefs, and they are very mature, and the level of knowledge and technology is completely close to the medieval world!
This world has a blue main-sequence star dozens of times brighter than the sun, a large number of planets, and complex life forms. The planet that Liang Kai arrived on was the third moon of a Jupiter-like planet with a huge aura. The planet was then called the Blue Star; The rings in the sky that block out sunlight for a quarter of the month are called blue wood planets; The entire galaxy is called the Blue Solar System; And the universe is called the Blue Realm.
That's right, the whole universe!
Finally crossed into a civilized world, after the planning of the scientists of the project team and the verification of Liang Kai, his soul passed through the black hole, not through the wormhole from this side of the universe to the other side, but directly into the other universe, cosmic parameters, physical laws, element cycles, fundamental forces...... A world where everything is completely different.
This world has a completely different power from the earth, the power of magic! The creatures here are born with the ability to use magic, and with a wave of their hands, they draw out the magical energy that spreads in the void, turning it into wind and clouds, thunder, lightning, sun, moon and stars; or introduce itself, to strengthen the body to the extreme, so that it can fly to the sky and the earth, and cross the void in the air, like an immortal in myths and legends; Or, by praying sincerely and concentrating your mind on a specific area, you can communicate with the gods to perform all kinds of unbelievable magic...... Whether it's people or animals or even plants.
This is a world where the mind can change reality, and the laws are completely different.
The whole planet is a sensation!
Liang Kai's name resounded in human society overnight! Newspapers, web portals, major TV stations and even self-media, all the front-page headlines are reporting on the matter.
Not only that, but just like the Apollo moon landing program of the United States, the experiment was broadcast live around the world through television networks. Liang Kai's crossing is the same, the first-view crossing picture read by the brainwave instrument is broadcast on the Internet 24×7, and more than a billion or even billions of people are paying attention to it all the time!
Soul travel is already shocking enough, let alone traveling to an alien civilization! Let alone...... Or an alien civilization with incredible power as if it were in myths and legends!
Another statistic that reflects the heat of this matter - the country's investment in the Crossing the Otherworld project is nearly 300 billion, but the audience tips for the online live broadcast alone exceeded 3 billion! The broadcast fee paid by radio and television websites and newspapers all over the world for self-media coverage of this matter is close to 10 billion! In addition, otherworldly creatures, cities, cultures, landmarks, ...... The naming rights of various translations have also been hyped up by large companies around the world wielding checkbooks! With an investment of 300 billion, it is said that it earned back one-tenth of it in less than three days!
Not to mention all kinds of derivatives, such as the sale of otherworldly literature and music copyrights, the imitation of otherworldly art and sculpture works, and the figurines of different races, characters and even creatures in the otherworld...... All sold to madness. The project team has not been able to rest for a month, working crazy overtime day and night, everyone can only stay in the base, almost all of them fly to the toilet, rest is to lie on the table and take a nap, walk back to the dormitory and lie on the bed for an hour or two to rest is a rare luxury, because it will often soon be due to the network, energy, data, security...... All sorts of sudden changes were called back to their posts.
Around the live broadcast, a huge otherworldly exploration channel was gradually formed, with Liang Kai leading the audience on Earth to shuttle through different planes of the other universe and appreciate the different customs and customs. Experts from all over the world gather here to decipher the language and writing of the other world, deduce the habits and evolution patterns of other world creatures, and answer all kinds of incredible physical and chemical phenomena in the other world...... Compared to this, the wild adventures of a certain special forces who were once all the rage on the earth are not worth mentioning at all.
It was a crazy experience!
Everyone was tired and almost collapsed, but they were all so excited that they couldn't control themselves. It is a great honor for a scientist to be involved in such a project! Since the beginning of the modern era, there have only been a few scientific projects that can attract the attention of the world, the Manhattan Project, the Apollo Project, the Human Genome Project, and then ...... That's it. All threw themselves into their work with a frenzied attitude, including the global audience, equally immersed in an almost pathological frenzy.
Since the popularization of the Internet, there has never been a hot event with such high popularity and such a long time to keep the headlines! One record after another has been broken, one by one the data has been rewritten, compared to this, all popular programs and talent shows have become scum.
This frenzy lasted until one day, until Liang Kai finally succeeded in his cultivation and began to master the power of magic, and then he was stunned to find that in the depths of his soul, the black hole linking the earth did not disappear, but always existed, and by chance stuck a demigod in the other world......
The heat is booming again! The popularity is simply outrageous!
Because...... That's a god from another world, it means immortality!
I don't know how many generations on the earth, I don't know how many powerful people dream of things that have never been realized, in the other world, are real?
In order to verify the authenticity of the gods, and also to fight against the dangers of the other world, and gradually transform the wild and primitive other world into a world that the people of the earth are more familiar with and like to see. Liang Kai, together with the scientists of the project team, reshaped the stuck demigod clone of the other world into the god of science in the other world, created a new religion with science as the main purpose, and gathered believers in the other world. The doctrine of determining the level of believers by the level of academic qualifications and the determination of whether believers are religious by examination results has been vigorously promoted.
This is also to stabilize the existence of the demigod clone, so that it will not disappear due to the endless devouring power of the black hole. Because as long as the demigod clone exists, the project team can monitor the continuous radiation signal coming to the other universe, although due to technical reasons and the existence of the uncertainty principle, it is always difficult to get accurate results, but everyone believes that only by stabilizing the signal, they will be able to accurately locate the other universe sooner or later, restart the black hole teleportation, and send the soul of the test subject into the established universe instead of the previous random teleportation, or even ...... Achieve bi-directional transmission.
For a time, a large amount of funds poured into the project team, including high-ranking officials through the allocation of power resources, generous investment donations from the rich, and even technical investment by big scientists with academic influence. There is only one purpose, to achieve cosmic positioning as soon as possible, and to increase the safety and success rate of crossing as much as possible.
The project's dedicated power plant was built, the entire power grid was completely renovated, and the collision preparation period became shorter, and the number of experiments became more and more large...... There are even a large number of experiments that are not planned to be carried out quietly.
Why are you in such a hurry? Because as long as the project is successful, the owners of these powers, money, and technologies can be like Liang Kai, putting their old bodies on this side of the earth, and throwing their souls into another universe, replacing them with a fresh and energetic body, and getting something that they can't exchange for with money, power, and knowledge - life! Second life!
Although technology is extremely advanced, the more powerful it is, the more you will realize the difficulty of achieving immortality. Teleportation in the other world is clearly a way to live forever in disguise. The worst is to continue a life, if you can achieve success in cultivating in the other world, or even become a god and become holy, then true eternal life is not impossible......
All efforts are hidden under the surface, but the most important thing in this world is smart people. Soon someone saw the clue and shouted angrily, the powerful and rich can achieve eternal life in this way, at least one more life than normal people, but what about those who have no money?
The interrogation was issued, and the whole world was in an uproar.
At the beginning, it was just a fierce debate among the people on the Internet, just like the sweet party and the salty party, Wumao and the angry youth...... Soon it expanded to all the places where the network exists, all the places where people live. Outside the experimental bases of the world, the elderly, the poor, and terminally ill people who are dying begin to gather. Whenever the experiment is carried out and the power grid fluctuates, a large number of the elderly, poor and terminally ill commit suicide, hoping to squeeze into this reincarnation train at the moment when the black hole opens to accept souls. With the few remaining and low-quality lives, fight for a chance to be reborn in another world. This is a deal that most people are still willing to do.
The state had to send troops to surround the entire base and impose martial law......
Fortunately, young people, especially those like me, who are working in the project team themselves, are not in a hurry, because we still have enough time to wait. I believe that with the passage of time and the advancement of technology, the crossing will become cheaper and cheaper, and the safety will be higher and higher. The products of the industrial era have always been like this, the scale goes up, the price goes down.
It's also responsible to humanity. The earth's civilization seems to be brilliant and the technology seems to be advanced, but in fact it is very fragile. Solar flares, asteroid impacts, supernova explosions, geomagnetic changes, climate warming, energy depletion, nuclear wars, ...... There are too many disasters that could lead to the end of the world. Traveling through the other world is at least much easier and more economical than building a spaceship to fly to another planet.
Although the genes have not been preserved, at least our culture, our civilization, and our history can flourish in another universe......
With this in mind, we worked overtime and worked hard!
However, reality is unscripted, and things always turn out beyond human expectations......
As the live broadcast progressed and the project continued, the whole society gradually went crazy. People don't want to work, they don't want to study, and they don't even ...... Nothing to do.
Anyway, if you want to travel through the other world, to the world where there is magic and no science, where the will can change reality, where everyone can become immortal and holy, and where you can fly to the sky, what is the use of learning knowledge on the earth? What's the use of working hard to earn money on the planet? It's better to start learning the magic of the other world, learn the language of the other world, learn how to live, how to adapt, and how to develop when you go to the other world...... Anyway, it's destined to go there, anyway, in addition to the soul, gold and silver treasures, youth and beauty, and power and status can't be brought over, so what's the point of working hard now?
At first, only the elderly and terminally ill patients were affected, but slowly the effects began to spread downward, from high to low according to age.
Many people are drunk and die because of this, and live every day as if the end is coming... It's like a person who is obsessed with religion and doesn't want to live this life well, but is bent on the next life. The only difference is that the afterlife of religion is illusory, but the afterlife here is real.
And on the planet, the powerful and wealthy class, which had occupied a dominant position, was also in a panic. The second life must be there, they have money, power and status, and it will be their turn to line up first. But what if you can't maintain your advantage on the planet and become a vulnerable group? In the past, they worshipped through feng shui, through burning incense, and by burning tons of paper money, but now, the game has obviously changed its gameplay.
For a time, all sorts of discussions unfolded secretly; Thinkers from all walks of life are hired with high salaries to carry out secret plots for wealthy families, and the cost of consultants is said to be incredibly high; Even on a certain website, novels about time-traveling, farming, and self-made in another world are all subscribed to high rewards and dazzling, and the more realistic and reasonable they are, the more popular they are, because many people hope to find new ideas for the rise of the other world from the book...... What if the wood is scrapped? What if you are racially discriminated against? How to develop from scratch? If you are in a high position, how do you maintain your advantage......
Soon, a new viable model was opened up - everyone crossed in groups.
The forerunner has a firm foothold in the other world, and others provide him with support from the earth, whether it is knowledge, technology, or humanistic strategy, and use all means to nurture the forerunner, when the forerunner stabilizes, and obtains a certain position of power, grasps the power of life and death within a certain range, and then cooperates with the crossing experiment to provide a sojournable body to ensure the safety of the crossing, and the followers arrive one after another, form an alliance with the forerunner, and constantly expand their power, and the magpie's nest dove occupies.
When the idea is decided, many people immediately find that things have been going this way all along......
Liang Kai is clearly the chosen pioneer, with identity and status, and gradually getting ahead in the other world, asking for money and money, and asking for people, it is enough to open up a world for the latecomers. What is lacking now is only the means to locate the Otherworld, and the technology to travel with sufficient security. Aware of this, for a while, those who sang praises to Liang Kai and gave gifts on the back showed favor through various channels, including showing favor to Liang Kai's parents, relatives and friends, trying to get relevant first-hand information, or hiring people to closely monitor them.
The government's live broadcast was originally intended to enhance national self-confidence and pride and exaggerate the image of a newly rising power, but it was unexpected to have an unexpected negative impact. Even if they realized that the situation was not good, and quickly took measures to reduce the live broadcast and control the impact of this incident on the public, it was a little too late after all......
Although the official live broadcast began to be controlled, from various channels, the live broadcast video data continued to flow out, and many rounds of self-examination and self-correction within the project team could not catch the ghosts.
The government has appealed through various channels to let everyone remain calm and restrained, and although the crossing of the other world has been successful, there is still at least a dozen years or even decades to go before it becomes a mature technology that is safe enough, efficient enough, and cheap enough. However, in this world, after all, there are few people who have money, power and status, and are satisfied with everything they have, and the vast majority of people who hope to get more are the people!
Now I found out that the results of the Earth Age are only public beta, and after the public beta is over, everyone will delete the number and enter the other world to start the official game from level zero...... Everyone's mind, how can they continue to spend on leveling, earning money, and accumulating wealth? All of them are ready for the official launch!
The economy is in chaos, the society is in chaos, and the main thing is that people's hearts are in chaos......
The end has not come, but it seems to have come!
People are in turmoil, and crime rates are soaring.
What was originally a lifetime of indulgence, but now there is a lifetime of indulgence, and it is not even more indulgent? Hard work? Calm and restrained? If I don't do it, someone will do it; Drugs are to be smoked, anyway, if you enter another world, you will naturally quit, and you can't bring things from this world with you, and you won't have to smoke if you want to; Violence and sex are also indispensable, and when you arrive in another world, although you can fly away and do anything, the feeling of the original earth, but you may not be able to experience it; Beauty, beauty, wine, food...... All of them, of course, are indispensable!
What, no? If you don't, you will steal and rob, and when you go to the other world, will you bring the sins of this world with you? Even if the country wants to, if I don't say anything about the past, or make up an identity, can they still test their fingerprints and DNA in the other world? Joke.
Thankfully, the same depravity and chaos are not limited to China......
Initially, yes, the number of foreigners trying to enter China through various legal and illegal means has skyrocketed and remained high, which has also led to frequent accidents at various customs and border levels in China. However, as the time-traveling experiment continued, within a year, the Swiss collider and the American collider also sent the experimenters into different civilized universes, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Chinese side.
According to the more than 3 billion years of life evolutionary history, multicellular life existed for 600 million years, vertebrates for 530 million years, amphibians for 350 million years, reptiles for 315 million years, mammals for 200 million years, and ancient apes for 45 million years. So according to expectations, the chance of finding civilization through experiments is only 1 in a few hundred thousand! However, the success rate of the traversal experiment shows that the probability of the birth of civilization in the universe is obviously higher than human expectations, and it may also be ...... It's that life on Earth is evolving too slowly.
Different worlds mean different travel experiences, and it also means that if you can reproduce the time travel experiments on the earth in a certain world; Then, after crossing into this world and spending the second life, you can use the same way to travel to other worlds to continue the third life! At the very least, you can travel back to Earth and solve it all with a cloned body. After a leisurely life on the earth, go back to the last world to continue your fourth life, or ...... It's okay to just travel through another world and change the game, right? As time goes by, there will be more and more worlds that can be traversed, the game will become more and more perfect, and more and more dungeons will be opened...... When the time comes, won't it be endless in life and life? The legendary eternal life has also been realized?
Almost all of them are immersed in such a frenzy......
The outside world is still chaotic, the project team is still fanatical, and I am no exception.
Until one day, Director Ouyang Jin suddenly called me into a secret room, and in the room, there were several other leaders of the base and a few of my colleagues.
Everyone was at a loss to understand why they were called in, and there were many things to do in the project team......
However, Director Ouyang's words surprised everyone, it was like a bolt from the blue!
Here's what he said: Comrades, we may not be the first to cross. In fact, we most likely have been crossed!
!!! (To be continued.) )
