35 The Origin of the Sacred Tree
"On July 15, 4967 A.D., we discovered the exact location of the meteorite through observations."
"Originally, meteorites fell from the sky, which is no longer a rare thing, because there have been too many "miracles" in the past few years, and even many people say that they have received the will of the gods to complete the trials given to them by the gods."
"What a bunch of fools, if there are really gods, you all go to superstitious theology, what do we scientists study, what do we invent and create, isn't it to explain theological things in a scientific way?"
"On August 7, 4968, after a year of searching, we have come to the site of the meteorite fall, this place is really terrifying, full of huge creatures."
"This year, miracles have become more frequent, and more and more things that science cannot explain have happened. For example, just now, we saw a centipede, a centipede with a body length of 15 meters! God knows how long this thing is, and how big it is, I'd call it the giant of arthropods. ”
"Oh my God, in addition to centipedes, we also found giant salamanders, giant spiders, winged flying snakes, carnivorous fish swimming in magma, are these all super ancient creatures, why has the biology world never found them?"
"Those damn biologists have been studying whether gods exist or not, the difference between the body structure of gods and humans, whether gods will have children, go to them! You people, you can't look at the paleontology we brought back, we need authority, we need professional biology experts to analyze these big guys! ”
"On March 5, 4972, after more than three years of research, we found that this meteorite excavated from the ground contained some unknown energy. This energy is now dormant, and we have tried extremely high temperatures, very low temperatures, γ rays, laser rays, radiation rays, etc., and finally came to the conclusion that no method can stimulate its activity. ”
This year, more and more miracles have happened in the world, and there have been many great preachers who proclaim gods in the name of God. Everywhere they went, they were able to cause miracles that science could not explain, such as people being able to fly, breathing in water, raising their hands to summon thunder and lightning, and riding on waves, and God knows what magic these people had used to deceive so many people as their followers. ”
"But that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that there are a lot of people who are promoting apocalypticism, saying that the gods are dissatisfied with the world, that mortals have turned their backs on the gods and have chosen to believe in science, money, and even themselves, and so on. I listened to a lot of Balabala, a lot of miscellaneous remarks, and the general meaning was very simple, let mankind rebelieve in the gods, and there should be no dissent. ”
"I can go to them, believe in the gods, can I resurrect the dead, make those huge creatures that appeared in the world disappear, and restore peace to the world again, anyway, I won't believe in these bullshit gods!"
"On January 15, 4975 in the calendar, it was almost three years of research, and the meteorite was still like that, lying quietly in the research room. No matter what means we use, it just lies there, and there is no change in the detected data, so that I am about to give up the research, damn it, you stone, why is there no response! ”
"Remember what I said three years ago, I said that it is impossible for gods to resurrect the dead, it is impossible for huge creatures to disappear, and I found that I was wrong, and I was wrong!"
"First of all, there are miracles of the resurrection of the dead all over the world, and of course I don't believe in these showmanship. But in addition to this, there was actually someone who knocked down a huge creature, and it was broadcast live, and my colleagues and I were a little excited about that scene, it was a guy as tall as a skyscraper, and it was overturned by several people, oh my God, this world is crazy, but it's not the craziest ......"
"On that day, I went back to my hometown as usual, my father and mother were dead, but I also had an older brother who was a farmer in his hometown, and every day he was with the potatoes and tomatoes he planted, and he said that the old man had planted the land all his life, and he also wanted to live here with the soil for the rest of his life. He's spineless, cowardly, stupid, and shameful evasion! What is the future of a farmer, he either picks dung or grows vegetables every day, and he deserves to never marry a wife for the rest of his life...... Ahem, I didn't say myself, although I am almost 40 years old and there is no woman around me, but I am dedicated to scientific research. I don't need women, women will only affect my progress in scientific research! ”
"But I'll never forget that day, knowing that I would go home once a year to see my brother, to that home that was the same, to that old house in the country, to that home where all my childhood was. And this time I saw something at home, I saw my father and mother, although they had a certain stench all over their bodies, and looked at people like wild beasts seeing their prey, and were locked in the basement with locks by my brother, but I saw that these two old guys were still alive! ”
"No, I can't say that they are still alive, because from my brother's explanation, these two old fellows actually started biting after they came back from the dead. Just like in a sci-fi zombie movie, they won't really become zombies, right? ”
"Bad news, my brother was also bitten by them, and I don't have a testing device with me, so I can't know if my brother is infected with some kind of virus, and I'm scared that I'm losing this only loved one. Worse news, the town is in chaos, because there are more and more people who are resurrected, they have no concept of relatives, and after the resurrection, it doesn't matter if you are their son or grandson, they will bite people when they see them! ”
"Three days later, my brother didn't mutate into a zombie, which was good news for me, but the bad vanishing also came, and our residence was surrounded by zombies. Those two damn old guys, why did you choose to be here when you built the house in the first place, don't you know that there is a cemetery next door, now I have to smell corpses every day, and my brother and I are running out of food, we are going to die here, in this house I have always disliked! ”
"Another three days have passed, and my brother and I are completely desperate, because our food is really running out, and the group of zombies outside has no intention of leaving, do they know that we are in the house, so they plan to stay for the rest of our lives? Damn the house, damn everything! ”
"That night, my brother woke me up and told me a plan, he decided to use himself as bait to help me escape. He said to me that he had been a farmer all his life, and he had no achievements in him, and even if he survived in the future, at most he would continue to farm for the rest of his life, and he was tired of this kind of life. He told me that I was the most productive person in my family, and if anyone could change the world, it would be me, so he had to sacrifice himself to keep me alive! ”
With that, he gave me the last bit of food he had left, and fled through the back door, cursing and swearing as he went, the two old fellows the most. But at this moment, I was so hungry that I couldn't speak, and I couldn't stop him, because in my heart, I actually felt that this plan was feasible? Damn, why should I think that, it's my own brother, he chose to sacrifice himself in order to keep me alive! ”
"I fled, and with the last bit of food, and my brother's cover, I fled, from the house I had never liked, from the town that had been reduced to death, from a world that was becoming more and more unreasonable. My brother, I know that you like to farm and be with the soil, and you also said that even if you plant for a lifetime, you will not get bored, because you like to watch the seeds you plant germinate, and you like to watch them grow and bear fruit. I know you're trying to make me feel less burdened, that's why you lied to me and said that, everything you did was to keep me alive......
"I want to say to you, you damn thing, how I want to take you with me...... How you want to have another meal of mashed potato salad you made, tomato soup you made, bacon omelette toast you made......"
"I really don't want to lose you, my brother ......"
"On April 5, 4975, I returned to the scientific research base, to the place that once made me extremely proud, but now has become my only place of sustenance. Here I can forget my troubles, forget my brother's death, forget everything, and only need to study the scientific research project in hand, and study the truth that needs to be explored. ”
"During the time I was away, a lot of ancient creatures were sent from outside the base, some dead and some alive, and they were all sent into the basement and kept in the most secure place, but these didn't matter anymore, because I thought of a way to activate the meteorite."
"On May 2, 4975 A.D., I brought all the plant seeds that I could collect in the world into the scientific research base, sorted them according to categories, and then contacted the soil on the surface of the meteorite to see how the seeds reacted. This damn method came from my brother, who has planted the land all his life and studied crop seeds all his life, but I didn't expect that as a younger brother, I was actually inspired by him as a farmer in scientific research! ”
"I take back what I said before, being a farmer is really promising, he is the hardest-working, bravest, and loveliest man in the world!"
"The experiment was very unsuccessful at first, almost all of the seeds withered as soon as they came into contact with the soil, and the seeds I brought were almost dead. Unfortunately, my brother didn't bless me, and the experiment almost failed...... Wait, what's wrong with that seed, why didn't it wither? ”
"On May 5, 4975, after three days of observation, it was found that the seed not only did not wither, but on the contrary survived, and the seed germinated extremely quickly. I knew that my experiment was about to succeed, I planted this seed on the meteorite, let it absorb the rock layer on the surface of the meteorite to take root and sprout, let it absorb the energy inside the meteorite, I don't even need to activate the energy inside the meteorite, I just need to use this seed as a medium, let the energy be transmitted through the roots of the seed to the space outside the meteorite. ”
"Thank you again, my brother, I would never have thought of this without you. I remember you told me a story about how the grass under the rocks was strong enough to shake the rocks with a small force, and that was the purpose of this experiment. ”
"On January 25, 4976, after more than half a year of growth, the seeds of this giant sequoia tree finally completed some kind of metamorphosis, and now grows taller than the world's tallest building, and it is still growing, and the entire scientific research base has been destroyed by its root system. There is no way, we can only build a new scientific research base again, I don't know what the world will become after the base is built? ”
"By the way, we haven't come up with a name for this giant sequoia tree yet. Its appearance is simply a miracle, and in that case, let's call it the "Sacred Tree"! ”
