Chapter 50: Parallel Worldlines, Age of Mist (Part II)
According to later research, the hitherto incomprehensible fog did not penetrate into the solar system, at least not in the observable frequency band. These fogs, of unknown origin and unknown bodies, were completely shrouded outside the solar system under some mechanism of action that was incomprehensible to humans at the time.
It will not invade Neptune's orbit, but it will encircle the solar system solidly.
From this day on, the galaxy is hidden, and the world has changed greatly. Looking up, human beings can no longer see the vast galaxy. All the stars were obscured, only the sun still shone in the sky, and only the reflections of the planets were barely visible.
Humanity, the connection with the deep space of the universe outside the solar system, is completely cut off by a cloud of fog. The entire solar system is like being locked in a cosmic-level small dark room, and it is impossible to look at the scenery of the outside world at all.
Of course, if that's all there is, it's nothing. For the vast majority of human beings, if you can't see it, you can't see it. Anyway, with the development of industry, it is gradually difficult for earthlings to see the stars.
Even in this world, if it weren't for the clean air and sunny weather last night, if it weren't for the late time and the light on the ground was lower, Shi Tiexin would not have seen the stars, let alone feel that it was a strange thing not to see the stars.
But things have changed far more than humans had expected.
On January 22, 1919, the Origin Saint was born. On the same day that the solar system entered the misty region, the Origin Sage ignited the human race, preached for the twelve, passed down the avenue of martial arts cultivation, and ignited the legendary flame of evolution. From this day on, the revival of martial arts has stepped out of the pile of old papers of history and entered a new era.
Moreover, compared with the ancient martial arts and ancient national arts, the new martial arts handed down by the origin saints are extremely powerful, the threshold is extremely low, and the consumption is less. If you have the heart to practice martial arts, almost everyone can do it.
Since then, the balance of power in various countries has undergone earth-shaking changes, and martial arts has broken the unwavering scientific monopoly since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and has become a new growth point of human power on the earth.
After the Origin Sage enlightened the world, he disappeared into the starry sky. And since the origin of the saints, there have been saints born in human beings. Who the saints of the human race were, Shi Tiexin couldn't completely say, because his naturalism was only the first good. But he knew at least one scientific saint, a master of all ages.
This sage of science has expanded the avenue of science beyond the avenue of martial arts. This saint closely connects the practice of mindfulness handed down by the origin saint with the study and study of scientific knowledge, and opens up a new path of perfect and powerful mindfulness practice.
Today, the six fundamental mental techniques practiced by Shi Tiexin can be traced back to the origin and were combed and founded by scientific saints.
Since then, study and cultivation have become one, and if you study well and study well, your cultivation realm will naturally rise up layer by layer. Since then, scientists and martial artists have been incomparably closer to a certain extent. The inherent image of Takefu being brainless and only good at fighting and killing and not good at creating has been completely reversed.
Countless talented people have devoted themselves to cultivation and study, and in the visible and tangible evolution, the enthusiasm of the whole people for scientific research has also been unprecedentedly high. Generations of Tianjiao have gone forward one after another, constantly opening up the limits of cultivation and the boundaries of science, and the technological level of human beings is also unprecedentedly strong.
In addition to the saints of science, there are still several saints born in mankind, all of whom have profoundly and completely changed the state of human existence, and can even be said to have completely reshaped the three views of mankind. Shi Tiexin vaguely knew that the last saint born was a space-time saint, and the appearance of the "secret realm" was closely related to the space-time saint.
In addition to the extremely limited number of saints, there are also many sub-saints who have replaced Zhou Tianxingchen and shine on the entire heavens. These sub-saints cannot change all of humanity like saints, but they are also capable of reshaping the rules and transforming the world on a small scale.
Individual strength is rising, and the level of science and technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. Theoretical results are constantly emerging, and the speed of realization is beyond imagination. The horizon and level of human beings are climbing at a speed far exceeding that of all eras throughout history.
It can be said that the water is a matter of course, and mankind has rushed out of the earth and began to explore the solar system on a large scale.
From Venus, the closest to the Sun, to Uranus, the farthest from the Sun, there are all human footprints. Alien colonies have been expanded one by one, and artificial celestial bodies have been built. In addition to the foggy regions beyond Uranus's orbit, humanity has run the entire solar system into a prosperous state.
In this great opportunity for development and a new social situation, all the old institutions and rules no longer match the speed of human progress. In 1941, the countries of mankind put aside their previous grievances and disputes in various internal and external factors, established the Federation of Mankind, and entered the era of great development hand in hand.
In this way, humanity has quickly entered its heyday.
Mental magic and magic go hand in hand, and science and magic coexist. Where the sun shines, it is the kingdom of mankind. Beyond the sun shines is the territory of mist.
This huge wave of the times far surpassed any literary revolution, industrial revolution, and scientific and technological revolution in history. No one knows if the ignition of the Origin Sage has something to do with the sudden fog, but the old way of dating has been completely abandoned.
January 22, 1919, was the turning point of history engraved in the secret book of naturalism.
On this day, the end of the Western Yuan and the beginning of the New Yuan.
Mankind has bid farewell to the old days and entered the Age of Mist.
However, this world has no intention of entering the Age of Fog at all. Zhou Tianxingdou is still there, many countries are still there, and wars and strife are still there. There is no Origin Sage, there is no force and mind art, and there is no technology explosion.
What the hell is going on?
Where did you go?
Moreover, Shi Tiexin went to ask Zhou Nan about Ji Nian last night, and found another thing that made him both unsurprised and very interesting.
That is, the age here is not the same year as the era on my side.
Beginning in 1919, the old yuan was abolished, and mankind adopted a new new yuan calendar. Shi Tiexin was very impressed, just a few days ago, a grand celebration of the "Centennial of Mist" was held on the side of Tumu Fort. The spectacle of this event is spectacular, and it is said that there are great revelries and various events from the central star, which is the Earth, to the most remote planet, Uranus.
Absolutely can't be wrong, Shi Tiexin's side happens to be a hundred years of fog. Converted to the Western calendar, it should be 2019. But Zhou Nan said that this is 2020. In other words, the time here is about a year later than on my side.
Shi Tiexin himself was also vaguely aware that the body that came was one year older than his own. This incident is not unexpected, after all, this kind of thing has happened, and nothing is possible.
But it's really strange to say it's strange, and it makes Shi Tiexin feel very subtle.
