Chapter Zero: The Beginning
A ball of light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A white light, too strong to look at it directly, to measure its temperature, or to calculate its energy. This light can be seen everywhere in the universe here, like dandelions sprouting, blooming, and dissipating. The appearance of the light cluster represents the movement of matter in time and space, perhaps a bench, a book, a tree, or a person, a family, or even a corps.
The green armband-clad Corps had just arrived at the dock, and some 200 or so soldiers had returned, each dressed in white armor and wielding a strangely shaped weapon that emitted electromagnetic waves, had just boarded the shuttle from here 20 years ago on a mission they had become accustomed to.
Eliminate all threats, whether they exist or are potential.
On this planet, there are hundreds of teams like them, they are responsible for cleaning up in different areas and at different times, and some even need to travel back to feudal society to carry out tasks, but the farther away the destination, the easier the task is for them, and going back to the past is like a vacation.
Of course, not every task is as easy as eating and sleeping. Resistance is everywhere, and wherever they go, there will always be a group of people who follow them, disrupt their plans, and stop their movements. Who are those people? Where do you live? These are still mysteries, they are glimmers of light living in the shadows, occasionally glittering, and then calm as if they never existed.
In this operation, this unit lost thirteen members, they did not leave any last words or relics, and there will be no ceremony to commemorate them, these thirteen vacancies will be filled in 10 minutes, assembly line is the production mode of soldiers, the production of soldiers have unified values, the same physique and the same belligerence. For this base, death will not bring losses, nor will it bring a change of strategy, because the combat effectiveness of this team will never be exhausted.
The procession crossed the pier to the trim area, passing a huge square on the way. In the center of the square stands a sculpture, on a huge stone pedestal stands a young man with a pen in his right hand and stretches out in front of him, the statue of the young man looks a little unusual, but here this statue is the god of their faith, who has opened the door to the universe for them.
The Corps walked around the sculpture and into the finishing area, where each person had a separate rest area, where they would unload their equipment, refuel their weapons, they didn't have to eat or drink, they didn't have to live as long as one might think, and the standard of each person's mission was to perform five battles, and after arriving five times, they would stay in the place of the last battle, where they would spend the rest of their lives for a short time.
Everyone took their places in the repair area, except for the thirteen who did not return, the two seats 73 and 112 were still empty, but their armor and weapons remained inside. The alarm sounded in the trimming area, and the ten soldiers who had just sat down were once again fully armed and began to search separately as ordered.
At the same time as the alarm sounded, two young men, a man and a woman, came to the edge of the mountain forest 2,000 kilometers away from the base. It looked like a primeval forest, with a strong smell of grass, and the two young men were tired, but they did not dare to stay, they quickly wiped the dirt off their faces, shed their scratched coats, and walked towards the forest in their tights. They were very familiar with the terrain of the forest, and could always find the easiest way between the clutter of plants and rocks, and the two quickly crossed the forest with the help of memory, and what appeared in front of them was a vast lake, and in the middle of the lake was a flying saucer-shaped building, which rested peacefully on the surface of the water like an island. The woman took out a controller from her pocket, and after giving the command, bubbles began to appear in the lake water in front of her, and the bubbles gradually increased, and the water surface within an area of about 30 square meters began to churn as if it were boiling within a minute. Gradually, a ship, or rather a submarine, surfaced, the hatch opened, and the two men quickly got into the cabin and sank into the lake.
The boat headed for the saucer-shaped building, whose base stretched to the bottom of the lake, and the boat stopped at a maintenance opening at the base, and the two opened the virtual mask, which created a special electromagnetic field to block the water from entering. The two of them opened the maintenance opening and entered the building without any problems. Although it was the first time for the two of them to be here, they were already familiar with the structure of the building, and in order to avoid the guards, the two of them took the weapons they carried in their hands and marched along the ventilation duct to the core of the building, and every 100 meters or so, they installed the prepared sensors the size of soybeans on the pipe wall. Pipes connected the entire building, and sensors soon spread throughout the building's meridians.
The saucer-shaped building incorporates the most advanced technology of its time, while it is also equipped with state-of-the-art security systems. The movements of the two men, who thought they were unaware, had been monitored, and at the exit of the passage, four guards with weapons were already waiting. The moment they walked out of the passage, the two saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ran to the side, and the moment the guards touched their bodies, the man turned a metal rod hanging around his neck, grabbed the woman's hand, and the two disappeared in front of the four guards in an instant as if evaporating.
Back at the base, the search for the two missing persons continued, and an additional team of soldiers was deployed to search the base. At the same time, the clean-up operation was still ongoing, and according to the plan, the newly refurbished corps set off again after replenishing the new soldiers, this time to the destination 35 years ago, and the mission time was 12 hours. The Corps set off from the air dock in a huge troop carrier, which increased its speed to Mach 5 in five seconds, and soon reached the top of the flying saucer-shaped building and hovered directly above it, the roof of which slowly opened to reveal a circular hole about 50 meters in diameter. With the flickering of a circle of indicators on the surface of the building, the circular hole gradually emitted cyan light, the light cluster became larger and more intense, in an instant, this light burst out with amazing energy, forming a huge pillar of light between heaven and earth, enveloping the entire spaceship, the roar of energy resounded throughout the lake, the huge shock wave set off continuous waves on the surface of the lake, the energy lasted for 30 seconds and then stopped, with the disappearance of the light pillar, the troop carrier also disappeared at the top of the building.
Such firing behavior happens every day, sometimes even many times, and it is like a war factory that does not produce weapons, transporting combat power to every dimension, every point in time, and every piece of land.
Flipping the metal rod and teleporting allowed the two to escape, but they couldn't just walk away, the task was the belief in their hearts, and it was the cause of everything. Alternating between light and flames, and the sultry air mixed with ice particles streaked across the bare skin, these complex tactile sensations only existed for about 0.1 seconds before their feet touched the earth again. They unexpectedly stood in front of a glass-walled building, office workers in suits, shirts, and uniforms were moving in and out of the building, the destination was determined by the true desire of his heart, the man didn't know why he jumped back here, he wanted to walk into the building, but looking at the woman who was a little weak on his shoulder, he could only turn the metal rod again.
This time they returned to the base and stood in front of the sculpture, which was covered with flowers, and he had never given flowers to the sculpture or observed it carefully, and he unconsciously raised his head and stared at the hand pointing forward, feeling a little ridiculous but pitiful. At the same time as he looked up at the sculpture, the sky gradually darkened, the dark clouds gradually gathered, the sunlight began to thin, and the dark clouds wrapped the sunlight and suspended in the air like eggs. A gust of wind blew in the square, blowing up the flowers in front of the sculpture, and the petals sprinkled in the air, like a drizzle across the surface of the sculpture, and the church bells seemed to be heard in the square, and the low and powerful percussion shook the entire base.
The man glanced at his watch, and there were 15 seconds left before the scheduled time.
The blue-gray sky shrouded the earth, and the people in the base came to the square to watch the abnormal weather, the wind became more and more violent, the flowers were completely blown away, and the people in the square snuggled up to each other, for fear of being blown down by the strong wind. Sirens still sounded throughout the base, and groups of soldiers kept moving through every area of the base, and they had even forgotten to look for the two deserters, just running blindly around the base according to the instructions.
Suddenly, a huge roar came from the sky, like an ancient evil dragon recorded in a book, and like a giant ship that had anchored, the roar became louder and louder, and the increasing frequency of sound waves stimulated people's ears. The woman snuggled up to the man, and instead of covering her ears in horror like the others in the square, they stared at the sky silently, letting the screams penetrate their eardrums. The clouds above the base began to shake and tremble with the roar, and the large clouds slowly broke down into small patches of uniform size and shape, neatly arranged in the sky like pieces of sugar cubes. The roars and winds seemed to tear the entire base apart, and the men sat down with the women in their arms, their backs against the statue's pedestal, waiting for the final judgment of the celestial phenomena.
The clouds continued to decompose, and directly above the base, the brightness of a cloud suddenly increased, like a lamp hanging on the zenith, as the brightness continued to rise, the white light forced everyone to close their eyes, and when the brightness rose to the extreme, the cloud turned into a fire and burned in the air, and the red flames quickly spread around, and the clouds were swallowed up by the flames one by one, and the sky was burned like a piece of tissue paper.
Someone in the crowd suddenly let out a scream, and then the whole base began to shake violently, as if someone had installed a spring in the ground, and the ground began to swing around, and people fell to the ground, clutching each other, and the man also held on to the statue's pedestal with one hand, and the other hand around the woman's waist, trying to keep himself balanced. While the ground shook, the temperature of the air began to rise slowly, and the feeling of dry mouth quickly spread to everyone, the people in the base had never experienced such an instantaneous environment, and for a while shouts, cries, curses, and pleadings came and went, and many people fell to the ground facing the sky and began to kowtow and beg.
The shaking of the ground began to slow down, and the man let go of the hand holding the pedestal and gently patted the woman's shoulder, and the woman raised her head to look in the direction of the man's finger. I saw that a disc-shaped object suddenly appeared directly above the square, with a diameter larger than the entire base, and a slight smile appeared on the woman's face, and the heart that had been hanging was finally let go at this time. The disc began to descend slowly, like a huge pot lid covering the entire base, and the indicator lights around the disc began to flash rapidly, which made the people in the square see its appearance clearly, the disc object was not a visitor from outside the world, but the flying saucer-shaped building that originally stood on the surface of the lake, and for a time the crowd in the square erupted into a huge shout, and people didn't care about the still trembling earth, and ran and fled. The flying saucer-shaped building was only about 500 meters above the ground, and the man supported the woman to stand about 100 meters away from the statue, and the man pressed the control button in his hand, and the statue that had been standing instantly disintegrated into a piece of rubble, revealing the golden device hidden inside by five rings of the same diameter stacked in turn.
When the device was exposed to the air, the bottom golden ring began to rotate, and then, the four upper rings also began to rotate slowly, and the five rings soon rotated at a super high speed, and the rotating afterimage made the device look like a golden cylinder, as the speed became higher and higher, a cyan light emitted from the center of the device, shooting towards the flying saucer-shaped building, and the flying saucer-shaped building also shot the same cyan pillar of light at this time, although the diameter of its light pillar was much larger than the diameter of the light pillar emitted by the golden device, But apparently, the energy of the pillar of light emitted by the golden device was even more powerful, and the two pillars of light converged in the air, and a cyan ball of light was suspended in the air.
The diameter of the light cluster is getting bigger and bigger, and the brightness is getting stronger and stronger, the man had to turn his head and hide the woman in his arms, the light cluster is getting closer and closer to him, but he does not have the slightest fear and retreat, he just hugs the woman tightly, and the woman also hugs the man's waist tightly, they seem to have been prepared for such a situation, the wind mixed with the high temperature hit him violently, and he had to take a step to keep himself standing. Gradually, the cyan light began to engulf the two of them, the man felt a strong daisy fragrance in the air, he didn't dare to open his eyes, because the strong light would make him blind instantly, but even with his eyes closed, he felt that he could still see the scene in front of him, dozens of white ribbons circled in the air along the direction of energy flow, and mountains and seas seemed to appear in front of him, the bright moon and stars twinkled overhead, and the sky and the stars were spinning. I don't know how long it took, the man couldn't perceive his body, but saw a flower bloom in front of him, a flower he had never seen before. Nine white petals encased a black stamen, and in that stamen, countless silver highlights formed a swirling shape that slowly swirled around the center of the stamen. The man reached out to touch the stamen, but he couldn't touch it anyway, and he scattered the flower into the air, and the nine petals fell off one after another under the action of the wind, leaving only the small black sphere in the middle suspended in the air. Suddenly, the black sphere expanded violently and continued to expand, enveloping the entire space, and the spiral galaxies, spiral galaxies, and circular galaxies filled the entire space, and it was a completely new universe.
From this moment on, light was born again.
