Refocus your gaze on the year 2043.

It was a year of great anxiety, confusion, and rush.

In that year, the United States of America, as the leader of the earth, entered the twilight of the year, and the Republic of China was in full swing, and a new world order was about to emerge.

The U.S. government has accumulated a huge foreign debt for more than half a century, and the interest it generates each year is about to exceed that of its gross domestic product. In other words, no matter how busy it is, it will not be able to repay its foreign debts, and it will only survive by completely devaluing the dollar to zero regardless of its credibility. As a result, the global economy, which has just recovered from the economic crisis, will suffer a heavy blow or even collapse. Moreover, despite the continuous deterioration of the economic situation of the United States, the military power is still unparalleled in the world, which is a major headache for all creditor countries......

That year, the international situation was turbulent, and some small regimes kept changing their banners. Friction is intensifying in many sensitive areas, and local wars are on the verge of breaking out, as if a third world war is not far away......

In that year, terrorism spread across the globe, which led to a series of ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, and human rights conflicts...... Social morality has been severely tested.

With the sudden rise of the Salvation Army in the Middle East, which expanded aggressively, the power of terror rose to the national level for the first time. However, the United States, Britain, Russia, France, and other traditional powers are worried that after falling into a ground war, casualties and military spending will be a bottomless black hole, and no one will reimburse you!

......

However, all these major events that have caused human anxiety have become children's mud games in the face of the subsequent situation!

Perhaps, it can't even be called playing with mud, it can only be counted as the hustle and bustle of the bacterial tribe in the petri dish!

In that year, Huaxia spent hundreds of millions of dollars and took 20 years to build, and the world's largest astronomical radio telescope, located in the deep mountains of Guizhou, was put into use. The spherical aperture of this super telescope reached an astonishing 1,000 meters, and its sensitivity was 100 times higher than that of the best telescopes of its kind at the time. It is like a huge eye growing from the earth, and it is said to be able to detect the depths of the universe more than 10 billion light-years away, and see the light of creation, and is affectionately called the "Eye of Heaven"!

The chief scientist who presided over the "Sky Eye" is taciturn, and he is Taishan Beidou in the field of astronomical observation, let's call him "nameless"!

In the field of science, theoretical scientists are at the forefront of the times, applied scientists are haunted by the halo of gold, and those who are immersed in basic work often make wedding clothes for others, lonely and cold. For example, more than 100 years ago, Eddington traveled to Africa to photograph the starlight deflection of a total solar eclipse, thus confirming Einstein's theory of general relativity and sending him directly to the altar. And Eddington himself, before and after, few people know who it is.

As the designer, supervisor and chief scientist of the "Sky Eye", Nameless has very profound attainments in the field of remote astronomical observation. However, since the discovery of that incident, his name has never appeared in the media again. Like the majestic Great Wall, who still knows its founders, those white bones buried in the soil!

Autumn is the most suitable season for astronomical observations.

The eye of the sky "looks" at the core of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way spans 100,000 light-years and contains hundreds of billions of stars and thousands of star clusters and nebulae, like a large disk with a bulging center, which looks like a vortex when viewed from above, with four spiral arms extending evenly and symmetrically from the center. The central area, known as the galactic center, resembles a bright and flat sphere, about 20,000 light-years in diameter and 10,000 light-years thick, composed of high-density stars that appear white at night.

The solar system, where the Earth is located, is located on Orion's spiral arm, and the stars are sparse. If you think of Silver Heart as the downtown area of a bustling city, then the solar system is a small stall in the middle of nowhere.

There has been a strong suspicion that there is a super-"black hole" inside the silver nucleus at the center of the Milky Way. Therefore, the Silver Heart is also known as the "Heart of Darkness", which is the rhythmic heart of the galaxy.

Nameless spotted an extremely faint spot of light near the Silver Heart.

With the sensitivity of the eye of the sky, it is only equivalent to a speck of dust floating in front of the eyes of ordinary people, and other astronomical telescopes cannot observe it at all.

Cases such as this are generally considered interference in astronomical observations.

For example, dense clouds of dust can obscure optical telescopes. The radio telescope mainly receives radiation in the radio band of celestial bodies, and the environmental requirements for electromagnetic waves are very high, and a nearby radio station can form a flare in the observation screen.

Moreover, the extremely dim point of light lasted for three days, and then it disappeared.

This is the end of the incident, and the case can be closed. There may be a faint source of unstable influence in the vicinity of the "Sky Eye", and it may even be a TV station mobile interview car.

However, with Nameless's familiarity with the starry sky and the scientific qualities he has cultivated for most of his life, he feels that things are very unusual.

As a chief scientist, he is naturally able to mobilize all the resources of the "Sky Eye". So, after he had taken out the observations of those three days and analyzed them, and continued to build models to adjust the parameters, the Observatory's mainframe computer had been running for a whole month, and a picture appeared on the computer screen.

At that moment, Nameless's thoughts paused, and the whole person was completely petrified.

As God said there would be light, there was light. What he saw was a beam of creation light passing through Hongmeng, splitting through chaos.

It was as if under a microscope, a human face suddenly flashed.

It's like digging through an ancient pyramid and discovering a spaceship hidden inside.

......

He saw a long sword hovering silently between the bright stars, in the deep vacuum.

It could never be a natural phenomenon shaped like a sword!

The cold blade, straight spine, and sturdy hilt are all clearly recognizable. Even the strange and complicated lines that lingered on the sword's body kept changing and circulating in a regular manner, as if they were anxiously conveying some kind of mysterious information.

It was a sword of destruction that was millions of kilometers long, traversing the vast star field, getting brighter and faster, and piercing the heart of darkness at one-tenth of the speed of light.

It can be proved that this is a long sword that really exists in the universe, not the image interference caused by the influence source, it is the position where the long sword left has become a real void, and all the stars that have ever flashed are extinguished one by one!

If it pierces the Silver Heart, it will slash several spiral arms in a row.

The sword is pointing at the sun.

Nameless quickly calmed down, and after two months of intense research, he quietly deleted the observation records of the three days from the Tianyan database, and dialed the special line of President Huaxia.

Apocalypse?

It doesn't get much better than that!

President Hua Xia put aside all foreign policy troubles and urgently contacted and persuaded the heads of state of Britain, France, Russia, and the United States to meet in New York to discuss this cosmic catastrophe.

On the third day of the meeting, no substantive results were discussed.

First of all, this strange astronomical phenomenon is of great theological significance, but it has little impact on the earth. Even if that huge sword pierced the silver heart and traveled at the speed of light, it would take tens of thousands of years to reach the solar system. Just as the sun runs out of nuclear fuel in 5 billion years, it will inevitably expand and swallow up the entire solar system, but it will not have any effect on the current stock market.

Second, in order not to cause social chaos, this news is tightly controlled, and only the heads of the five permanent members, the UN Secretary-General, and the anonymous person who made the analysis report are really involved in the discussion, and there are no other social figures and scientists present, so it is naturally difficult to propose any valuable solutions.

But on the third day of the conference, at 10 a.m. on November 23, 2043 AD, the Middle East Salvation Army detonated a miniature nuclear bomb in New York.

This is a semi-religious, quasi-state military force that has risen rapidly in recent years, in addition to the intensifying cultural conflict between East and West, mainly due to the religious support that prevails in desert areas.

In the scriptures of this famous religion, many important prophecies of prophets thousands of years ago for the future have been fulfilled. For example, the prophet predicted that gold would flow out of the desert, just look at the oil, the prophet said that the tall buildings would go into the clouds, just look at the cities, and the prophet said that people would use magic boxes to communicate in the void, just look at mobile phones and computers.

The last prophecy left by the Prophet was that the world would face destruction, and in the desert city of Ita, the Holy Knights would engage in an end-time war against the demons.

That would be, the last holy war on earth.

Therefore, after the Salvation Army captured the small town of Ita and expanded it into a city, they played the role of the legendary Holy Knight, constantly provoking the major powers, trying to create the prophet's prophesied eschatological holy war, so as to gain widespread fanatical religious support and supreme religious power.

However, when the major powers were still moving, the Salvation Army shrank into a corner, and its foundation was thin and could not afford to consume, so it finally became anxious and took advantage of the opportunity of the five leaders gathering in New York to detonate a nuclear bomb. That means, come, come, bite me!

And they got their wish.

The "Extraordinary Conference on Global Economic and Trade Integration" came to an abrupt end.

Three hours later, the United States, represented by the United States, declared war on the Salvation Army.

Seven days later, 100,000 United Nations troops were assembled and cleared.

Fourteen days later, the Salvation Army lost most of its territory and was confined to a narrow area with a radius of 100 kilometers centered on the stronghold of Ita City.

The perimeter of Ita Castle was almost built into a reinforced concrete fortress, and the terrain was complex. Although it is not conducive to the rapid advance of mechanized troops, it is immediately powdered under the missile strikes thrown by the coalition forces like cabbage.

With almost global strength to deal with the land of projectiles, where is there anything that is not destroyed!

This time, the coalition was able to get the support of the vast majority of countries because the Salvation Army carried out terrorist attacks against civilians and used a forbidden weapon, the nuclear bomb.

Nuclear weapons are scattered on the planet, and various forces are like a group of children with AK47s in their hands, eyeing each other. When the binding force of the rules of the game becomes weaker and weaker, sooner or later someone will shoot first and run out of magazines, definitely!

In the mid-twentieth century, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the expansion of nuclear weapons, ensured that they could destroy each other. But then, the successive possessors of nuclear weapons realized that there would be no winners in a nuclear war, and that the day a nuclear war began would be the time of the destruction of human civilization.

The saint Albert Einstein once predicted - I don't know when the Third World War will happen, but I know that the weapons used in the Fourth World War must be sticks and stones.

Therefore, strict control and reduction of nuclear weapons has become the consensus of major powers and has become a bargaining chip for politicians in handling international affairs.

Clearly, the Salvation Army set a very bad precedent.

On the morning of December 24, the coalition forces captured the city of Ita, and the copycat version of the "end-time holy war" seemed to be about to come to a bleak and comical end.

By the afternoon of the 25th, however, the group of planes was flying through the sky like frightened swallows. The troops that entered the city scrambled to flee like a swarm of ants in a rout.

A hundred kilometers away, the soldiers at the forward outpost all changed into radiation suits, and the troops took refuge in bunkers. A dozen or so civilians were still lining up for inspection, and the sentries waved the butts of their guns to express their dissatisfaction, constantly urging: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The war is raging, and those who want to leave have long gone. The rest of the civilians were mostly old men, with no expression on their wrinkled faces, like pieces of hard, rusted iron. Only a little boy hanging alone at the back of the line turned and looked at the way he came. His big clear eyes are innocent, and he has not yet left the sorrow of leaving his homeland.

Hometown?

There will never be a hometown again!

It will be reduced to a desert, and it will be a forbidden area for life for the next hundred years.

It will be reduced to a taboo word in the dictionary of wanderers, a bloody scar of the extinction of life on Earth.

Because not long ago, the coalition forces got the news that at the moment when Ita City was breached, the 100,000-ton nuclear bomb hidden by the Salvation Army in the city entered the countdown.

The sun slowly sank in the west, and under the bleak blood-red glow, the hills dragged out a long shadow.

At six o'clock, everything was silent.

On the surveillance screen of the coalition forces, Ita City suddenly disappeared in an instant, and white light filled it. Then the screen shakes, the screen is covered with snowflakes, and bursts of low, chaotic electromagnetic noise are heard.

The nuclear bomb finally bloomed, and the Grim Reaper poked out its claws.

However, 100 seconds passed, and the picture still did not recover, and the cell phone, radio, telegraph, etc., all lost their signal.

Whether it is under the Eiffel Tower, in the fortress of the Great Wall, on the soft waves of the Cam River, in front of the Red Square, in the depths of the White House, in the vast sea, in the towering mountains, the global wireless communication is interrupted!

No way, a nuclear explosion of 100 million tons does not have the power to affect the whole world!

Ten minutes later, with loud and small noises, some outlines appeared on the monitor screen.

All those who saw the scene for the first time, whether soldiers, generals, or presidents, stood up stiffly, speechless in shock.

There is no hurricane and acid rain, no flames and smoke, no wolves rushing and groaning, no broken rubble...... All the tragic scenes that should have been imagined have not appeared!

Ita City, the sturdy is still there.

Ten minutes ago, it was so empty that not even a stray dog could see a single one. Ten minutes later, a crowd of ragged men emerged from the ground, looking up at the sky with tears in their eyes, bowing and worshipping, fanatical as believers, as pious as saints, and as pure as babies.

In the central area of Ita City, a hole with a diameter of a kilometer appeared in the sky, leading to the starry sky, where you could see the bright stars. Wisps of mist swirled and swirled at the edge of the cave wall, but it seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, not penetrating into the cave for a single minute. The sunlight is refracted and reflected, diffracted and formed a circle of rainbow colors on the cave wall, and the light and shadow floated, making the huge void like a solid, like an optimus jade pillar, down to the Yellow Spring, up to the Nine Nights, and like a golden bridge to the sky, hanging from the sacred and ethereal Pure Land of Heaven to the humble and suffering worldly mortals.

In the face of this incredible spectacle, all the words and words described pale in the face of this incredible spectacle.

Human beings are like earthworms in the mud, unable to drill out of the earth, but they glimpse the appearance of a dragon in the sky. In addition to awe and fear, I also felt the insignificance of life, the fragility of survival, and the ridiculousness of arrogance at that moment!

Among the miracles recorded in human history, except for the "Legend of the Immortals" compiled by Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty, it is mentioned that "Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, and the purple qi came to the east for 30,000 miles", perhaps only the scene recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible and Moses leading the crowd to escape from Egypt and separate the Red Sea can be compared.

Well frogs can't talk about the sea, and summer insects can't talk about ice.

When the well frog saw the sea, and the summer insect met the ice, religion was born.

Many later claimed to have heard the ethereal chant and the mysterious sound of heaven.

They were convinced that the Son of God had come!
