Chapter 3: The Age of Natural Disasters
2024 is really a year to remember for humanity.
Because if the history books are written correctly, this year is the year when the natural disaster began—the first year of the natural disaster.
Prior to this, it was said that human beings had been able to go to heaven and earth, overturn rivers and seas, and be omnipotent, even ruling the entire earth.
And after that, for all kinds of reasons that have been understood and not yet understood, the entire human civilization has fallen into chaos, all kinds of indescribable disasters have occurred one after another, the territory has been continuously compressed and encroached, and the population has been decreasing, until today......
Whenever I talk about that time, those old people who have experienced the old generation and are lucky to be alive all have their eyes shining, tears in their eyes, and all kinds of nostalgia and missing.
It's just that their emotions are really difficult to understand after 30s like Ye Chao.
After determining the age of Alpha Ji, Ye Chao once again opened the military tablet and searched it carefully.
He has to hurry up, although the teaching internship is not an exam, there will be a mark.
The ability of the combat department to evaluate reconnaissance and concealment, the ability to assist the team to cooperate, and the ability to cultivate people's medical skills, repair objects, and repair data all rely on collecting intelligence.
As he despises the existence of the penultimate layer of the chain, the internship score is too important.
It's easiest to ask Alpha Ji, but she obviously won't be very cooperative, the procedures in the unearthed cultural relics are like this, you need to crack the password fingerprint gesture all kinds of authentication, and you will be obedient if you pass it, and if you accidentally make a mistake, you will even lock it for dozens or hundreds of years.
If it's just a general program, Ye Chao can still try it, so that the communication with people is completely barrier-free, and even the program that can fly out of the tablet to exist independently, he doesn't dare to try.
However, "Alpha Ji", "2024", "the third generation of biological neuronal network supercomputers", and "emotional intelligence assistant programs" ...... Although he didn't understand the meaning of many words, it was enough for him to do some simple and meaningful searches.
As he was operating, his brain was dizzy again, and the feeling of being hollowed out came to his face again.
His consciousness was suddenly pulled into a familiar unknown world.
The world is composed of a variety of numbers and symbols that are messily distributed, and the signals of zeros and ones are interspersed with flickering and flickering, sometimes like a waterfall, and sometimes changing in a regular way.
At the center of this world, Alpha Ji, was hanging in the air, looking up at the sky at a 45° angle, and the signal of a wireless network trying to connect to the door of his head was glistening.
"Don't ......" Ye Chao tried his best to say only one word, and spread it on the bed.
"Dudu ......" The monitor plugged in the body alarmed in a hurry.
==========
Half-asleep and half-awake, at the intersection of fantasy and reality, a turquoise blue sphere slowly emerged, but it was a little blurry, like a WeChat picture that had not been downloaded or ...... Some parts of the film are deliberately occluded.
Only faintly visible, blue is water, green is forest, yellow is sand and dirt......
It's a ...... Earth?
Through the edge of the mountains and the sea, the repeated curves of the teachers in the classroom with tears in their eyes, Ye Chao could barely make out.
The picture is getting clearer, the cavalry turned into infantry.
It's just that the blue one is not so blue, mixed and matched with other colors, like a muddy bath with bath salts and toys in it, just after a bath;
The green ones are not so green, and with the ups and downs of the terrain, it is obvious that there are traces of human processing, just like a child's clumsy graffiti;
There are also those yellows, which have never been seen, but Ye Chao remembers that the teachers said that it is called a desert or a beach, but Ye Chao never thought that the desert or beach area is so large and endless, and many places actually cover the color of the forest, it is unimaginable!
And the clearer the image, the more you can see the ugliness in it, which is completely different from what the teachers said.
The clouds in the sky were gray, the wind on the ground was dirty, and the currents in the sea were even more difficult to see, and I don't know what was mixed with black and black.
If there is anything that makes Ye Chao truly admired or in awe, it is at night.
On the other side of the night, the lights flickered.
The light was dense, brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky, some gathered together, some in a long one, and some scattered and scattered, dotting the dark earth...... So much so that the whole earth looks like a dazzling round black gem!
Even the haze of clouds that drifted by from time to time was erased by black, adding a bit of misty dreaminess to the covered earth.
Ye Chao knew that this was the light of human beings, but he didn't think that they were really like what the teachers said, they could be so dense, so bright and so dazzling, even more dazzling than the stars in the sky!
If it were on the ground, there would really not be much difference between night and day, right?
The earth is spinning, day and night are alternating, time is passing......
Directly above the image is a huge number - 2024, 4 in the last digit, slowly turning into 5, then 6, 7......
You can see that the earth is changing slowly, no, rapidly.
The dust in the sky has dispersed, the wind on the ground has cleared, the clouds floating in the sky are no longer like gray rags, and there are large expanses of yellow, the monotonous colors of the desert and the bare earth, which are visibly replaced by vibrant greens, blues, yellows, and reds!
And then there's the sea, where the big swaths of chaos used to float have disappeared with time, replaced by a cycle of currents that are as colorful as the ground.
However, on the contrary, the huge city that can be recognized by the naked eye on the ground, with its buildings, roads, and bridges...... It also disappeared with time, and was buried in the lush and vibrant ocean of life.
At night, the bright lights that can be observed are becoming less and less and weaker, and gradually those that are particularly weak seem to be extinguished, and they are completely invisible;
Some of the places that had condensed into a bright mass before were completely extinguished, and some were still breathing......
Time continues to pass, 2030, 2033, 2037, 2038......
The earth's surface is more vibrant, and the desert hinterland, laterite reefs, and polar glaciers that originally had no life to live on now all have traces of life, and even the entire surface has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Some plains have risen into mountains, some have collapsed into canyons, and some seas have unscientific undulations like the earth.
The whole earth is still round, and the color is still biased towards blue and green, but if you look at any earthling before 2020, I'm afraid no one can recognize it, this is actually the earth, I'm afraid it will only be regarded as an unknown alien planet.
However, as time passed, the lights at night, which had been almost extinguished, were brightened again.
It's certainly not as bright as it was at the beginning, but it's much brighter than around 2030, and it's very widely distributed.
Some are in the mountains, some in the forests, some in the sea, some even in the sky, some are clearly obscured, but they can still be distinguished by the scattered halos.
The number directly above the Earth is finally fixed at 2054.
"It's, it's really, it's 2054!" Watching the reincarnation of the sun and the moon, the passage of time, the changes of land and sea, the white clouds and dogs, and the Alpha Ji sighed faintly.
The messy numbers, symbols, and uncertain 1s and 0s all around her were stirring with the ripples of her sighs, as if she was in a mood.
"Is this the time of the Catastrophe?" A voice rang out.
Alpha Ji: ... (⊙_⊙; )…
In an instant, you could see that her hair stood on end.
"You, how did you get in?!"
