Earth Arc 2: Through the Ages

Crossed over?!

The moment we first heard the news, there was a deathly silence in the room, and none of us spoke. The people who can enter the project team www.biquge.info are the ones with the top IQ among human beings, and they realized the situation in a blink of an eye.

Isn't this the second phase of the Great Earth Crossing Project?

The first stage is to gain a foothold in the Atlas; In the second stage, the influence will be gradually increased, the technology will be difused, and the cosmic positioning will be finally realized, and more earthlings will be brought into the other world while replicating and crossing the technology in the other world; In the third stage, the technology of crossing is realized in the other world, and it is possible to try to travel back to Earth or to other universes to open up the third round of reincarnation......

If, if there are people from other universes who have mastered the technology of traversing, just like Liang Kai who is in the other world at this moment, then it is entirely possible that someone has already crossed to the earth, and it has not been known so far.

It's just, how do you know, Director? Moreover, Director, don't you worry that there are time-travelers from the other world among us, who already know that we know and are broadcasting live from the world, do they all know about it all over the world? I said half-jokingly like a tongue twister.

Even though it was a joke, everyone kept their faces stiff and didn't smile, because it was very likely that this was happening, and if it was real...... Everyone looked at each other with fear, and couldn't help but start recalling, recalling that everyone in the field of vision could not be a traverser, whether there was a sudden change in temperament, or other symptoms such as that.

Director Ouyang Jin threw out a stack of test papers.

Everyone has chosen to see, this is a test we did a few days ago, including an IQ test, a personality psychological test, a career aptitude test and so on. I did this kind of test when I first joined the project team, and when I tested it a few days ago, everyone thought it would have something to do with promotion, salary increase, and transfer, but it turned out to be used here?

We were confused at first, but in a blink of an eye we understood what was going on.

Reincarnation in the other world, you can inherit the body, inherit the fingerprint DNA, inherit the memory code, inherit the language, inherit many things, but the IQ will definitely change, personality, psychology and career tendencies, etc., and it is impossible to maintain the original bias, and there will definitely be changes, because the original soul is no longer there, in the final analysis, you have become another person.

I looked at my own comments, and the answer time was one hour and forty-eight minutes, and my IQ was 153, which was within the normal fluctuation range; The personality psychology does not show any abnormalities; Occupational aptitude measurement is within the standard range...... If you know the purpose of the test, you may be able to find a way to cover it up, but it is also difficult to maintain it at a real level, and it is one thing to get a perfect score on the test, and another thing to get a fixed score, especially when the test does not have the right answer, but only tests certain tendencies. If you don't know the purpose of the test, it's almost certain that the score will deviate significantly from the previous one. In addition, those who have had a near-death experience or have problems with psychological questionnaires or peer evaluations will not be selected.

So...... Are we people sure that there is no problem? Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Ouyang Jin confirmed our suspicions.

This is not to say that there are no other normal people in the entire Extraterrestrial Exploration Bureau except for us, and they are all parasitized. Some people don't play well for a while, some people work too much overtime and affect their IQ, and some people don't put too much thought into this inadvertent test. And that's what it means for us to be elected.

We will receive special training to screen out possible traversers through psychological means and instrumental cooperation.

At the same time, we ourselves will be monitored in all directions, and once there is an abnormality in our vital signs and changes in our personality and psychology, we will be isolated and disposed of. The so-called isolation may be drug lethargy, physical paralysis, or humane incarceration in the virtual world, which has just recently become popular...... In short, nothing good will come of it. After all, we are carefully selected, and once someone is crossed, the whole plan will be leaked......

Then we, aren't we going to be spies? Someone shouted: We joined the project team to study science, to explore the other world, for the well-being of all mankind, not for intrigue......

Indeed, monitoring and distinguishing whether a person has been crossed is a scientific problem on the surface, but if you think about it, it may also be a political issue, or a social issue, in short, an issue that has nothing to do with us scientists.

That's because you don't know how far the situation has deteriorated...... Director Ouyang Jin's reaction to us was not surprised.

We are scientists, not soldiers who will unconditionally obey orders. Skepticism is our instinct, and we can't accept everything rashly until we see the evidence. The earth is in the second stage of crossing, this is the possibility we recognize, and it is only a possibility, for the vast universe, it is also a possibility that a strong wind just blows an airplane, although the small one is almost negligible, it exists after all. But this level of possibility, apparently, is not worth the experience of putting in a response.

The Director took us to the secret base of the project team.

After working in the project team for more than two years, it was the first time that we knew of the existence of such a secret base.

Pushing open a door that we don't know how many times we passed back and forth, passing through a passage that required identity verification, and then entering the downward elevator, and I don't know how deep we fell, we finally saw tangible evidence of being crossed. The vast majority of them are video surveillance data, because it is impossible for the traverser to capture them alive, otherwise the world on the other side will know everything, and even if they are caught, they will definitely enter a vegetative state.

However, what shocked us the most was not the non-living and non-dead vegetative traversers, but the conclusions deduced by the secret team based on evidence.

According to their speculation, the technology of soul travel is most likely a more common phenomenon in the universe than interstellar travel! This is true not only in the Earth universe, but in all universes. In fact, it is very likely that the crossing behavior of the earth runs through the history of the earth's development, and even the history of biological evolution...... It is not one or a few isolated acts, there are several large-scale organized crossings, and there are countless other isolated crossings.

From a distance, the ancestors of human beings walked out of the forest, walked on the grassland, learned to walk upright, began to know how to use fire, knew how to use tools, and most likely were influenced by the traverser...... The probability of the project team traveling to the prehistoric era is still several times more than that of a civilized society.

More recently, more than 10,000 years ago, Neanderthals suddenly disappeared, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, short-faced bears, earth otters, and eagle-toothed beasts...... The mysterious extinction of a number of large creatures, as well as the construction of the pyramids and the disappearance of the Mayans, many other puzzles that historians have spent a long time studying, are most likely also influenced by the time travel.

Including Pangu opening the world in the east, Nuwa mending the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, the Nordic gods and Odin gods in the west, the sun god in ancient Egypt, etc., which have been passed down for thousands of years, are all very likely to be the deeds of the travelers. The Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese family who invented writing, music, calendars, houses, clothes, cars and boats, formations, well fields, and guide cars, and established the ancient country system, is obviously a traverser! If you are not a traverser, how can you be so omniscient and omnipotent?

Even according to data analysis, in the history of mankind, there have been three large-scale crossings.

For the first time, starting from around 500 B.C., during this period, the West intensively gave birth to Aristotle, Plato, Euclid, Archimedes, Democritus and other ancient Greek sages; And the East did not let it go at all, giving birth to a large number of thinkers and philosophers who transcended the times, such as Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuangzi, even if it was a thousand years later, they still had a great influence on the entire Eastern world; Oh, by the way, it was also during this same period that a philosopher was born in India called Siddhartha? Gautama later gave himself a pen name Shakyamuni.

One or two can be said to be coincidences, like sows giving birth, there are so many in groups, and each has its own style and magical powers, which is obviously not a coincidence that can be explained.

The second round of mass crossings took place after BC. In A.D. 0, Jesus, the Son of Christianity, was born. Of course, there are no saints in this world, and to explain that Jesus' crucifixion and then miraculous resurrection in the pavilion is obviously more in line with the characteristics of a traverser. It was also during this same period that China in the East also gave birth to a recognized time-traveler - Wang Mang. This strange man invented vernier calipers, abolished slavery, and introduced people's communes, planned economies, financial loans, and currency reforms.

Although there were only two people in Jesus, he was a traveler who ascended to heaven and disappeared after dozens of days of preaching, and he was able to leave behind such a behemoth as Christianity, obviously not alone but in groups. Wang Mang is the same, how can one person steal the authority of the most powerful empire in the world at that time so easily and usurp the throne successfully? Apparently other traversers from the same period helped. As for Liu Xiu, the son of the plane who was good at meteorite summoning, what kind of force was there, and no one knew what kind of force it was, between a traverser and the chosen one......

The third round of large-scale crossing, probably starting with Galileo, followed by Newton, Darwin, Maxwell, Mendeleev, Kekule, Nobel, Einstein, Planck, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, von Neumann, Turing, Hawking, a series of shining names lit up the West and even the entire civilized world, and still shine today! Most of them are traversers!

Galileo, who no longer wanted to be a monk, was no longer himself; Newton, who lived in the countryside, did not escape the Great Plague of London; Nobel died in a very early test accident; And Hawking, if it weren't for the soul support of the traverser, ALS would have killed him a long time ago, and everyone on this earth knows it...... With the explosion of modern science and technology, human beings have passed through the industrial age at an unimaginable speed, entered the electrical age, the electronic age, and even completed the soul crossing device, all of which are promoted by the traverser behind the scenes? Everything is just a conspiracy for them to enter the third stage?

We were all stunned and couldn't believe what was being said. If, if the information is correct, then everything about our human civilization, the system on which we scientists are proud, is not ...... Aren't they all brought by the traversers? Our own role in this is actually very small? "Success is equal to 99% perspiration plus 1% inspiration", this sentence should actually be "success is equal to 99% perspiration plus 1% traversing"?

Isn't what Liang Kai is doing in the other world the same thing now? Director Ouyang said.

Establish a scientific education, forcibly promote basic education, regard scientific theorems and laws as canons and doctrines, and regard the academic ability of primary, middle, and university schools as the standard for assessing the level of believers......

Yes, indeed. It's true that it's very similar to the recent explosion of science on Earth, but ......

Liang Kai's achievements in the other world, the progress and intensity of the implementation of the scientific system, far exceed the earth's modern scientific and technological explosion, right?

If it weren't for the existence of tangible faith and cultivation power in the other world, if it weren't for the fact that Liang Kai happened to get stuck in an extraordinary clone and was able to take the opportunity to establish Scientology, would he still be able to do so quickly? Director Ouyang's rhetorical question once again left us speechless.

So, the earth is slow because there are no gods, no faith, and there have been no miracles since Jesus?

Wrong again! The earth is not without gods, without faith, nor without miracles, and many myths and legends have been proven to be true. The reason why the earth is developing so slowly is purely because there are too many forces that have crossed into us, fighting each other, and causing continuous changes in the parameters of the universe, until in modern times, when the forces from the scientific plane finally prevail and finally stabilized...... However, even if it is also a technological plane, it seems that there is more than one force. Director Ouyang Jin continued.

How much to wear? Group wear? There are still people from different forces and different faiths, and obviously from different universes? We quickly flipped through the materials and looked at them at a glance, looking at the history of the Crusades, the rise of Freemasonry, the rise and fall of the Rothschilds, and the genocidal policies implemented to fight against the head of a race that was clearly from another crossing force...... The struggle and entanglement between the forces of the traverser have run through the entire history of human development.

Even the types of crossings are varied.

Religious crossing: This kind of crossing is to cultivate believers and collect faith. Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and Shakyamuni all belong to this type. They do not pursue technological progress, but only seek the purity of faith in the hearts of believers, and in order to facilitate the harvesting of faith, they even resented technological progress and the drastic changes in society. Nine times out of ten, their ability to cross is not achieved through scientific means.

In order to build the Otherworld into an ideal place to cross, in order to build a bridge between the two worlds, and achieve immortality through the continuous migration of souls, they will vigorously promote the scientific and technological forces of the target universe, climb the technology tree, explode the production capacity, and complete the first, second, and third stages of the crossing plan as quickly as possible, so as to turn the target plane into their second world.

The crossing of ancient Greek sages and the explosion of science and technology since the Renaissance are all examples of this type of crossing. Originally, their power had been strongly suppressed by the religious type in the Middle Ages, and I don't know what means they used to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough in modern times. On the contrary, the religious crossing was completely suppressed, and it was pushed all the way to modern society by leaps and bounds.

And then there's the extinction type of crossing.

What is an extinction traversal? If the current earth has just mastered the technology of crossing the otherworld, and then suddenly it is about to be destroyed, the countdown has begun, and there is no way to do interstellar migration, and there is no way to stop the pace of extinction, what can be done in desperation? Of course, it is to select elites, cross in batches, save one more and count one, hoping to preserve the fire of civilization as much as possible, and preserve the traces of existence, even if their world has disappeared, even if their physical bodies no longer exist.

During the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Oriental China ushered in a large-scale crossing, and nine out of ten were of such a type. They are obviously different from the previous two, they teach neither technology nor faith, they mostly teach people how to live a better life, what should they do when they are alone? What about a group of people? How to form a stable society? How to build an effective regime? Faith will be torn apart when it comes here, aliens will be assimilated when it comes here, and the power of technology will ...... Before science and technology opened the door to China with strong ships and sharp artillery, everything here was working well, and if it weren't for the invasion of several alien races that distorted the inheritance, maybe science would have been put into orbit in advance and become an effective supplementary force, and would not have fallen to the point of being backward and beaten.

This is clearly something that will only be considered if you live forever, and it is not like a faith-based crossing that is purely a pig, or a scientific crossing that pulls out seedlings to help grow.

In addition, according to the immortals, avenues, immortals, golden pills, heavenly courts, dragons and phoenixes, and monsters that have been passed down from generation to generation in this ancient land...... With all kinds of bizarre and self-contained legends, the project team deduced that these traversers may be from the immortal civilization of another universe. Unlike the faith-based crossing that needs to harvest faith in order to become a god and become holy, they can turn over the river and the sea and step through the void with their own strength...... It's just that the earth plane lacks the setting of consciousness to transform the world, so after crossing over, they can't use their skills, they don't understand science and technology, and they don't have faith, so they have to teach people how to live, and those deeds of immortality and sanctification of the flesh have been passed on by word of mouth into myths and legends. Including the gods in Norse mythology, Greek mythology, and Egyptian mythology, it is very likely that this is also the case.

Oh, and by the way, there's another and final type of crossing -- isolated traversal, or experimental traversal.

It is the crossing of the current stage of the earth. I have just mastered the technology, but I have not yet realized the positioning of the other universe, all the crossings are random, I don't know where to cross, I don't know if I can succeed, I don't know if I can succeed, and I cast a net all over the sky. In the short history of mankind, there are often some strange things that gods and gods talk about, saying that they are reborn, saying things that no one understands, and doing things that no one will understand...... It could be psychotic, or it could be a real traverser.

But rather than these clear and concise reports, as scientists, we are more interested in the content of another part, about the change of the rules of the world with the crossing -

The universe is like a pond, originally isolated existence, and when the soul travels through the universe, it will open up a passage between two different ponds. As a result, different water quality, different elemental compositions, and different salt content will slowly merge together, causing the water quality of both ponds to change......

Of course, this is just a figurative metaphor, the real universe is much more complex and advanced than this, and the fusion is not the elemental composition, concentration ratio of these shallow things, but the speed of light, the law of space-time, Planck's constant...... These are the most basic elements of the universe!

Anyone who has studied astronomy knows that between 1645 and 1715, the sun entered a period of extremely weak sunspot activity, which is academically called the Mondstadt minimum. No one knows why sunspots almost stopped their activities during this time, which was reflected on the earth, which was a period of Xiaoice and rivers around the world, and it was from this that Europe turned from the Age of Exploration to the Industrial Age......

Of course, there is little point in looking at this matter in isolation, but if you integrate this incident with the third round of mass travel, it is not difficult to see that this event happened after Galileo's crossing, and before the other scientific giants crossed on a large scale.

According to the project team, the Mondstadt minimium was caused by the cosmic fusion caused by the time travel. The smallest change at the micro level, presented at the macro level, may be incredible, and even enough to lead to the catastrophe of the destruction of the universe!

But it is also necessary, because the ripples and oscillations of the space-time structure of the universe caused by the change of parameters are the most convenient means to traverse positioning. For this reason, the hosts of the third round of large-scale crossings even conducted experiments.

What experiments?

Fast forward to 400 years ago. Galileo, the forerunner of the third large-scale crossing, realized the existence of telescope technology, improved the telescope as quickly as possible, and continued to observe Jupiter and the Sun.

In 1610, he began observing Jupiter; In 1645, the sun entered the Mondstadt minimum, which did not recover until 1715; In 1664, Robert? Hook discovered the highly unscientific Jupiter storm Great Red Spot on Jupiter, which has been around for many years, and continues to this day...... For this, Galileo even burned his eyes, which led to his complete blindness later.

Jupiter is the second largest planet in the solar system, and it is the closest planet to the Sun in terms of size, structure and even composition. If you want to carry out a cosmic-level surgery, no matter how advanced the scientific and technological civilization is, it will not directly attack the sun, because a little mistake may lead to the abnormal change of the sun, which may destroy the life of the whole earth. You'll have to practice somewhere else first. Where? Jupiter, it has to be Jupiter, and it can only be Jupiter! The distance is close enough that conclusions can be drawn directly by means of naked eye observation; The impact will not be too great, after all, it is only a planet of the same level as the earth; It is similar enough to the sun to facilitate the conclusion through deduction calculations. Regardless, the sunspot anomaly has recovered, but the "scars" of Jupiter's surgery remain to this day.

Not only are sunspots anomalous, according to geomagnetic analysis, the Earth's magnetic poles flip every 300,000 years, and it has been 780,000 years since the last flip...... To this day, the expected flip has been long overdue.

There are more than one such examples, which are obviously not by chance and happen to be able to explain them all, and there is clearly an unspeakable force behind it. In the past, it was just strange that scientists in the corresponding field would find it incomprehensible and put a lot of effort and time into it, but now, everything is clear.

Crossing, everything is because of crossing!

No, that's not right...... The information here is simply not enough to draw the above conclusions, far from enough. There must be something left unsaid...... Suddenly, someone shouted.
