New Era

You read that right, the new Yuan, the familiar A.D. has dissipated into the dust of history, and there is little more to prove their existence except for human memories - except for what is underground.

The high development of human science and technology is accompanied by a process of serious environmental pollution and rapid consumption of resources, and human beings have paid a terrible price - resource depletion and loss of habitability.

Highly developed science and technology have indeed brought benefits to mankind. The virus is basically no longer a threat, and the sharp increase in traffic safety has made accidents very rare.

The combination of the two is not a simple good thing. The rapid increase in population, the pollution of habitable places, and especially the near-depletion of resources, even the development of new energy sources are still a drop in the bucket.

The competition for habitable land and resources has made the contradictions between human beings more and more acute, and the already hypocritical peace has become somewhat illusory.

Finally, someone could not bear it, tore apart the so-called humanism, and launched plunder, from which the war broke out, and the year was 3167 AD.

Some people started the war, others joined the war, either actively or passively. From the initial competition for resources, it has developed into a world war, and everyone is like crazy, frantically attacking the surrounding countries.

The earth became a sea of fire, and when the flames were extinguished, everything was destroyed. All that was left was a ruined land, with no life on the bare surface, and the air was filled with the smoke of war and the radiation of the nuclear transformation.

I have to say that life is tenacious, like the grassland after a fire, it seems to have no life at all, and once the spring breeze passes, it is full of vitality. No matter what kind of disaster it experiences, it will survive with a more tenacious attitude.

This is true for humans, animals, plants, and even microorganisms. The catastrophe baptized the whole world, and all living things began to evolve in order to adapt to the new environment. The unfit are eliminated, and those who remain have been evolved at the genetic level, and it has to be said that Darwin's theory of evolution does have its merits.

Those who escaped felt like they had been given a new lease of life. It's like in the Bible, where God destroys the world and makes it start anew.

They are believed to be at a turning point between the destruction of the old world and the beginning of the new world. So they call this year the first year of the new era, and the new yuan represents the end of one era and the beginning of another.

The beginning of the era was a difficult time, but also an easy time.

It's hard because everything is gone and needs to be rebuilt. And the ease is because there are so few people who have escaped the disaster that they can no longer feel crowded.

Rebuilding is not an easy task, but fortunately they have more knowledge than their ancestors, and the valuable knowledge accumulated in an era has been preserved with the surviving people.

This is the luck of human beings, they do not have to go through a long era of ignorance, they can go directly to the age of technology. The power of knowledge is truly limitless, it leads people to think, it makes everything simple and effective.

It's just that too much knowledge needs to rely on tools, machinery. Bare hand mining, iron smelting, these technological era of human beings are not used to doing. The inefficiency was so terrible that it slowed down the process of rebuilding.

These people are not going to sit still and start to think of a way. In the end, it was implemented on the underground ruins, and the things on the surface were completely destroyed, but the underground will not, and even if some are destroyed, many will survive.

The exploration did uncover a number of tools that greatly improved the reconstruction process. In 300 years, part of the reconstruction has been completed, and the social model has long been formed.

This has also led to more people devoting themselves to the exploration of the ruins. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even in this nascent world. As the world was rebuilt, the distinction between the noble and the low began to be made again, and many people became rich overnight because of the relics.

As the population grows and the pace of reconstruction accelerates, the gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably widen.

This drove more people to join the army of ruins exploration, and the increase in personnel led to more ruins being discovered. There are some very strange things that are difficult to understand even with the cutting-edge technology of the technological age.

Because they don't need to use tools or instruments, they can mobilize all kinds of forces with just a few symbols, some gestures, or even just consciousness, which is simply incredible.

In the beginning, people didn't understand it, and they simply classified them as supernatural powers.

Later, due to the evolution of human genes, some people possessed some magical abilities, such as perspective, fire control, lightning control, and powerful self-healing abilities.

Although this part of the population is a minority, it is enough to attract attention. Some people wanted to study them, and of course this group of people rose up to resist, and for this, the newly stabilized society almost collapsed again.

After that, these people had their own title, the Adepts. Ordinary people live in harmony with them, and the supernatural ones are still god-like beings in the eyes of ordinary people.

By chance, an anomaly came into contact with that strange knowledge. And according to his careful training, the results surprised everyone, and his abilities increased dramatically.

Since then, humans have begun to value this knowledge. It was eventually identified as a prehistoric civilization before the Common Era, a completely different civilization from the technological era. They don't need machines, and they can manipulate the forces of nature just by improving their abilities.

If the era of science and technology is to seek the outside, then the prehistoric civilization is to seek the inside.

Two different civilizations, two different directions, but the same result, both for the sake of having greater power.

Prehistoric civilizations are not as easy to get started as technological civilizations, and they require people with awakened abilities to learn.

Actually, everyone has their own abilities, but some abilities are visible and most are hidden.

There are two ways to make an ability manifest, one is to increase the gene, and the ability will manifest naturally. Another way is to learn the enlightenment of prehistoric civilizations to unlock abilities.

For this emerging civilization, people are full of novelty, and once set off a boom in prehistoric civilization.

Later, mankind got to know prehistoric civilization, which was no longer so mysterious. Studying prehistoric civilizations is called cultivation, and cultivation depends on talent, and not everyone is suitable for it.

After fully understanding what it means to do more with less, people finally have the right choice, some people practice prehistoric civilization, some people learn scientific and technological civilization, and some very few people practice both.

It turns out that people made the right choice. During this period, there were many great figures, both prehistoric civilization and scientific and technological civilization, and the two civilizations can be said to be comparable.

However, it is worth mentioning that there are no particularly great people who have cultivated both. The main reason is that both require a lot of energy, and it is not easy to specialize in one, let alone both.

The main reason is that the two research directions are completely different, and it is impossible to bypass the class, so it is too difficult to practice. It's okay in the early stage, but the more difficult it is to get to the back, and if you can't make a decision in time, it is very likely that the road ahead will be interrupted.

The times are still developing steadily, and these two mainstream civilizations have been serving as two strong pillars to frame this splendid era.
