Chapter 1: Contemporary History of the Post-Disaster Aftermath

Next Chapter

"Man is the master of the world."

Many years ago, this was a widely accepted view.

Until that year, everything changed; It wasn't until that year that people finally admitted in the face of the facts that man was really too small compared to nature.

Today's children's textbooks describe the events of that time like this.

"On June 6, 2030, the sky will be filled with extraordinary beauty. Tens of thousands of meteors streaked across the sky. After a brief period of splendor, the stars fell, bursting with fireworks of death that bloomed in all corners of the earth.

Antarctic glaciers are melting, tropical rainforests are on fire, coastal cities are submerged, and the earth's soil is radiating every inch of it.

The prosperity of the symphony of human civilization was annihilated in an instant, and the end of the downturn seemed so weak.

The fall of the largest meteor shower in history, codenamed "Doomsday", ushered in a catastrophic moment in human history. Only about 2 out of 1,000 people survived the "end times".

In the face of disaster, people have become more united and cooperative. Under the leadership of the national government, people rebuilt after the disaster and gathered survivors. In this part of China, more than a dozen places of post-disaster rebirth have been established by region.

Bidding farewell to the ruined city, people from the northeast region emigrated to Daxinganling to start a new life. The disaster turned the largest forest in the motherland, the Daxing'an Mountains, into a scorched earth, but the vitality of human beings is tenacious, and they work together to rebuild human civilization and start over on this land.

"榾", pronounced the same as "ancient", refers to the root lumps left by the soil after the trees were destroyed. People named this area of human rebirth in the Great Khing'an Mountains "Luqi City". The implication is that the rebirth of people begins in this land where only the roots of the tree are left.

The power of human unity cannot be underestimated. If the pyramids are a miracle and the terracotta warriors and horses are a miracle, then in just eight years, the barren Daxinganling was rebuilt to the level of development in the eighties of the twentieth century, which can be regarded as a miracle within a miracle.

Ore smelting, machinery manufacturing, electronic product production, construction engineering, water conservancy and hydropower, and material flow have all been revived in this land in just eight years.

Even the vast forests of the Xing'an Mountains, where there were originally only the Lances, have sprouts growing on the Trees.

The saplings are growing, and so is the hope of the people.

The days of rebuilding civilization were bitter and joyful.

But because of the presence of a large number of extraterrestrial meteorites, it is inevitable that there is radiation on this land.

Like the city, every area rebuilt after the disaster is inevitably exposed to radiation, with the exception of one area.

It's a place that everybody dreams of, and everybody aspires to live there.

There is still one last island left in China, and people call it "Pure Land." ”

The "Pure Land" is the only relatively independent land that has not been baptized by meteorites. The island retains 21st century architecture, technology and resources. With a beautiful environment and a diverse biological chain, it is a paradise for human beings in the world today.

But when you think of living in the "Pure Land", the conditions are very harsh. In order to ensure the continuity of high-quality human genes, the government has set up a special training school in each post-disaster reconstruction area to select excellent genes. Only the best of the best who graduate from this training school every year, together with their parents, can be qualified to enter the "Pure Land" life. ”

The above passage is from the prologue of the Compulsory Education Publishing House - Compulsory Education Curriculum Standard Experimental Textbook "Post-Disaster Contemporary History".

All the children will clearly remember the prologue of the first lesson of this primary school entrance and the teacher's instruction: "But you must first have the ability to be admitted to this special training school." ”

In the city, this special training school is called the Sailing School, which means to fly dreams and set sail. Because going to the Pure Land to live is almost everyone's dream.

I still remember the conversation between the elementary school teacher and the children.

"Why do you want to go to the Pure Land?"

"Because there's as much ice cream there."

"I've heard that there are so many beautiful clothes out there, and everyone can buy more than one piece of clothing per season."

"Because I've heard that there's a legendary network there, it's amazing."

"Because I've heard that basically every house there has a car, and in our place, except for military vehicles, I basically haven't seen any other cars."

…………

The students' answers are different, but in summary, they are basically all about living a better life. Who isn't? You are reading novels, you are working, you are reading, you are struggling every day, who is not working hard to live a better life?
