Chapter 1: This Old and Young World
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There is no time, no space, no matter, everything is hidden in chaos and nothingness.
In the midst of the endless chaos, there is only one singularity that is infinitely large and infinitely small.
This is the point at which time stands still, the root of all living beings, the source of the beginning of things......
I don't know how many years have passed, and the eternal time has finally moved, making this chaotic singularity explode!
-- This is the Big Bang that kicked in, and the material universe began to awaken from this moment!
In the Big Bang, countless substances were exploded, but some substances were quickly tightly snapped together under the traction of "force", and they attracted, repelled and merged with each other. The gaseous nebula filled the entire space, slowly rotating and getting bigger...... At the edge of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, a large, orderly and rotating air mass filled with hydrogen-helium gas and dust gradually took shape.
-- The solar system was born.
The air mass, which was the prototype of the solar system, rotated, and most of the material began to accumulate towards the center, where the material began to be heated. The material surrounding the air mass begins to compress inward, and when most of the material is compressed and heated, the sun's nuclear fusion begins.
The solar storm set off by nuclear fusion blows the heated matter around, and the solar system officially speaks to the universe for the first time:
“…… I...... Born! ”
The solar storm blows the surrounding material and slowly gathers near the sun.
Heavier matter gathers near the Sun to form a solid-state star with small volume and high density. Lighter materials are concentrated away from the Sun, forming large, low-density gaseous stars.
The oldest primitive earth was also born!
At the beginning of its formation, the primordial earth was a hot sphere of hot liquid matter, like a mass of lava scattered with light and heat.
Over time, the temperature of the earth's surface begins to decrease, and a solid core gradually forms. The heavier elements sink to the center, forming the core, while the lighter elements rise to the surface, creating the crust and mantle.
Since the birth of the primitive earth, it has continuously released energy outward, and with the continuous spewing of water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases from high-temperature magma, it constitutes a very thin early atmosphere --- primitive atmosphere.
Then, after a period of frequent meteorite impacts, a large amount of vapor is ejected from the cracks in the earth's crust, and more gas is released from the volcano, creating a second, thicker atmosphere that protects the planet.
The impact of comets and meteorites on the Earth not only caused craters, but also brought more water. As the amount of water vapor in the primeval atmosphere continues to increase, more and more water vapor condenses into small water droplets, which then converge into rainwater and descend to the still hot surface.
In this way, the first primordial oceans appeared on the surface of the earth.
In the early days of the earth's formation, volcanic activity was extremely frequent, and because there was no ozone layer protection, ultraviolet rays irradiated a large amount of the earth's surface, which made the ground material evolve very quickly, and various geological processes were far more colorful than in later generations.
Therefore, some organic substances in the primordial ocean, after long-term and complex chemical changes, gradually formed larger and more complex molecules, until the basic materials that make up living organisms--- proteins, and macromolecular organic substances such as nucleic acids as genetic material, were born.
Then, under certain natural conditions, macromolecular organic substances such as proteins and nucleic acids are concentrated and condensed to form a complex system composed of many molecules.
The simplest primitive life was born!
These primitive life, the first to appear on the earth, immediately began to embark on a long road of evolution driven by the laws of nature.
The winner of evolution gets a chance to survive, and the price paid by the loser is perdition!
There is only one law of judgment for the competition of life: natural selection, survival of the fittest!
……
Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic.
Five geological epochs, spanning billions of years of species evolution, have enriched the once inhospitable and barren Earth.
Under the cruel and ruthless laws of nature, countless life species have risen one after another, but countless life species have also been eliminated one after another.
Finally, about 3oo-350,000 years ago, the first ape-man stood up from the Great Rift Valley, and the most primitive humans appeared!
- The true spirit of all things has finally appeared on the earth, and he will soon dominate the whole world!
However, another round of more brutal species elimination has gradually begun with human hunting, nomadism and farming!
……
After an unknown amount of time, human beings, who understood the tools and got rid of ignorance, finally created a civilization and became the overlord of the earth!
Unlike those simple-minded animals before, although human life is extremely fragile, it has an unprecedented brain, extremely rich emotional thinking, and an imagination that is countless times more powerful than other animals.
Therefore, although he has become the overlord of the earth, in the face of the infinite power of nature, out of incomprehension and one-sided cognition of the things around him, ignorant primitive humans are still often afraid of this world. And this psychology of fear is given "life" in the minds of human beings.
- "God" appeared, and people used their own cognition to create "God"!
In the most primitive age of obscurantism, God had no name. Humans are only looking for imaginary gods in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, fearing the earthquakes, floods, and storms brought about by the "wrath of the gods", and worshipping dangerous and powerful beasts as the embodiment of gods.
However, over the course of time, humans have gradually given the gods names and created all sorts of beautiful or cruel myths for the gods.
-- In any era or country, it was human beings who gave names and myths to "gods."
Theoretically, God can be immortal! Because it was born out of human fantasy. As long as humanity does not perish, God will not perish fundamentally.
However, in the case of individual gods, they still need faith to survive, just as humans need to eat to survive.
- If the power of faith is sufficient, the gods are strong; If the power of faith is lacking, the gods are weak; When the power of faith disappears, the gods collapse.
Therefore, the gods of the past and present have also used their various "divine powers" from time to time to directly or indirectly affect the history of mankind.
-- Jehovah of West Asia and the Middle East, in order to gain the faith of the Israelites, not only used his "divine power" to carry out the appalling ten plagues of Egypt, but also parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape from Egypt; In order to gain the faith of Kyushu, the god Haotian of Yanhuang Shenzhou did not hesitate to wage war against the natural totem located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin, thus leading the ancient war between Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Jiuli Chiyou......
Although it is precisely because of the belief in gods that human history has become extraordinarily colorful, the problem is that although human beings created "gods" in the hope that they would bless them with happiness and well-being, they often harm human beings for their own selfishness.
However, there seem to be far more mortals who use the gods to make the world miserable for the sake of power and profit, than the evil gods who do whatever they want.
-- Up to now, only human beings themselves have been able to destroy human beings.
In short, in this way, human beings created gods, and the gods drove humans, but humans also used the gods in turn......
And all kinds of demons and monsters are also breeding from human fantasies in the superstitious atmosphere of ignorance and fear.
Although the years have passed in the world and dynasties have changed, this qiē has not changed, and may never change, nor can it be changed!
Until one day in the middle of the 19th century......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
January 1848, Brussels, Belgium
At night, at the White Swan Café in the main square of the city center, the occupants of an ordinary room upstairs are still not asleep.
The flickering dim light cast the shadows of the two young men on the walls of the room.
As the candlelight flickered, the shadows swayed slightly. Sometimes, the shaking would be a little louder, when two young men were talking softly, and when the shadows began to shake violently, their angry arguments and loud growls could be heard even in the hallway outside the door.
Of course, this rather sven quarrel was much less than the noise of the drunks on the street outside, and even the waiter passing by the door did not care about it. And the chattering guests in the café downstairs don't know anything about it.
Indeed, the two young men arguing upstairs at the White Swan Café were not celebrities, but only poor and shabby families and the sons of ordinary merchants, both Jews who had been ostracized in Europe.
Not long ago, one of the young men who spoke and acted more flamboyantly was expelled by the French government on charges of "dangerous revolutionary" and "spreading reactionary speech", and had to move to Brussels, Belgium, where he lived in a cheap room at the White Swan Café.
Anyway, the final argument was over, and together they pushed aside the mess of manuscripts and books on the table, and began to rustle on a polished letterhead, with the shabby writing while his merchant friend watched.
Judging from the title and content, this is a program of a small political party.
Such "club parties", which were born out of the whims of some people, were like weeds on the side of the road in Europe at that time, and a few were born in cafes and beer halls almost every day, and the vast majority of these parties were born silently like morning dew, and then quietly disappeared, and only a very few could rise to the top and gain a place in parliament.
However, the political party planned by these two young men was not created for the sake of elections, but was based on a fighting platform......
In the dim light, the ink pen flowed on the letterhead, and every qiē was peaceful, just as it had been when countless essays were drafted in the past.
But-
As the pen moves,
The world of the dead trembled violently, and the souls who ignored the laws of the gods began to roar or laugh angrily, and there was no need for them to cry or cry in pain, for the cage of hell had begun to crumble......
In this final struggle, they will lose only the shackles, and the whole world will be gained.
Since then, a red ghost has begun to wander around the big 6 in Europe.
……
The pen is still moving,
All kinds of demons and spirits lurking in the darkness can't help but feel trembling and trembling in their hearts, whether they are evil or good, whether they are ancient or new, no matter what country they come from or what era they are born in.
The bell of judgment echoes in every secret realm in the world, and every powerful alien has a dim vision of the unpredictable future, and can feel that the final end is gradually approaching—the good times that have overridden mortals for thousands of years are coming to an end.
When it was time to leave, it had arrived.
……
The pen is still moving,
God, Allah and Buddha, who were sitting high in the clouds, and countless gods, both famous and unfamous, also suddenly opened their eyes.
The thread of their fate slowly began to turn into nothingness, which had never happened before.
Since the history of mankind, gods can be shaped, modified, replaced, distorted, defeated, destroyed, forgotten, but never completely disappeared, and after the fall of every old god, new gods will eventually emerge to fill the void left behind.
However, at this moment, a void appeared in front of the gods.
Something beyond their control is emerging, and the gods are powerless to stop it.
The foundation of the gods' existence has been denied by the humans who created them.
The future of mankind no longer needs the protection of the so-called gods.
……
Of course, the two young men who were sitting at their desks in the White Swan Hotel did not know about the above things.
They had finally finished discussing the last paragraph of the program, and only the last few sentences had not yet been written.
The young son of the merchant had already left the table and looked through the window at the main square in the center of Brussels, where he saw a cluster of brilliant ceremonial flowers explode in the air, bloom for a moment of brilliance, and then slowly disappear, and finally fall silent.
As if sensing something, he began to mumble something in his mouth, but the Broken House of the Desk Book did not notice it.
――The text is nearing the end, and the last character is slowly drawn on the broken settlement:
“…… Proletarian toilers of the whole world, unite! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Hundreds of years of time passed quickly, the years of burning passion came and went, and the red wave once swept most of the world, and then collapsed at its most glorious top, and finally gradually fell silent.
The great teachers have long since left this world; And the ideal of emancipating all mankind has been gradually forgotten by everyone.
However, on another unknown front, the warriors full of lofty ideals are still fighting the fiercest battles all the time.
-- This world is not only a qiē that ordinary people know, but a lot of existence that normal people cannot understand.
In a certain evil corner of the bustling city, in a dark and hidden cult lair, a strange guest in a Mao suit suddenly broke in.
“…… You shouldn't save zài, disappear for me! It's not scientific! ”
With the loud shout of this comrade political commissar, the tentacle monster evil god who was still dancing its teeth and claws a moment ago suddenly seemed to have been subjected to a sudden judgment, and under some irresistible great will, it could not make any resistance at all, and turned into a pool of viscous pus in an instant.
Only the poor disheveled high school girl was left, still lying panting in the slime.
Then, more than a dozen policemen who had already been ready rushed in from the door and arrested the cultists who had panicked one by one.
What awaits them next will be a very scientific 100,000-volt electric shock treatment and a long life behind bars.
Seeing that the situation was under control, the old political commissar, who was already a little gray-headed and loose-skinned, couldn't help but sigh tiredly, then took off the octagonal hat on his head, flicked the dust next to the wall, struck a match, and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
This is already the third cult stronghold that has been smashed this year!
When did these backward and evil feudal superstitions rekindle in the motherland?
Alas, I really miss those hot-blooded comrades-in-arms armed with truth and science, the era when all the ghosts, snakes, and gods were wiped out!
I don't know when it began, my seniors and peers left the team one after another, and there were fewer and fewer young people who could be added to the team. Now, even his own dying old man, who should have retired a long time ago, has to go into battle again.
Firm and pure faith has gradually disappeared in this materialistic age. All kinds of evils exist, but once again they are about to move, adding more elusive variables to this increasingly chaotic world.
“…… But whether or not the world is crumbling day by day, I will continue to fight under the red flag until the last breath of my life. ”
The old commissar thought silently, and at the same time dropped the cigarette that had already burned most of it, and the oath he had made seemed to ring in his ears again.
“…… The darkness of ignorance and hypocrisy still hangs over the world!
I swear that from today onwards I will fight for the truth!
I will not be religious, delusional, confused,
I will pierce the hypocritical mask of an exploiter and do my duty until I die!
I am a seeder of civilization and science, and I am a preacher of democracy and progress.
I am the torch that drives out superstition, I am the sickle that destroys foolishness,
I am the hammer that smashes the shackles, I am the guardian of all mankind!
I dedicate my life and glory to the greatest scientific faith, today, every day! ”
……
Just as he was reminiscing about the old days alone, the mobile phone on his waist suddenly vibrate.
“…… Well? What is it? Advertising SMS? Want to know the meaning of life? Want to ...... Alive? What's that? ”
The elderly comrade political commissar frowned and looked at the contents of the mobile phone, and at the same time casually dropped the cigarette he had just smoked a few times, and ran it over the sole of his shoe a few times, "...... Let's take another look, maybe it is the propaganda and persuasion methods of the new cult...... Well, OK ......"
He muttered so quietly as he pressed "OK" on the dialog box on the touchscreen phone.
-- The next moment, while several policemen were escorting the cult followers into the police car, the old political commissar suddenly disappeared......
