"Salute to all the heroes who are fighting for the future of mankind"

Chinese New Year's Eve in 2111 is a happy day for the Chinese people; But people like to celebrate the festival in another way, they will sit in the courtyard as a family, look at the stars in the sky, and pray for peace and health in the coming year. Because of climate changes, winter in the northern hemisphere of the earth at this time no longer looks cold.

Lao Li's family was also like most people at this time, and their family was also sitting in the courtyard watching the stars at this time. Old Li Tou was a knowledgeable man, and at this time he was telling his children and grandchildren about the past.

"A hundred years ago, during the holidays, people used to sit around their homes and watch a very old video playback device called a television." Lao Li said.

At this time, the little granddaughter who was playing in the distance suddenly ran over and got into Lao Li's arms at once, she asked coquettishly: "Grandpa, grandpa, what is a TV?" ”

"Television!" Lao Li was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it, because he didn't have that kind of thing when he was very young, and he had never seen it.

The 21st century is the era of the fastest development of human scientific and technological civilization, at that time, the scientific and technological level of human beings can be said to be changing with each passing day, and there is a feeling that people are not seen for three days. With the rapid development of a new generation of communication technology, mankind has entered a so-called screenless era; That is, in daily life, without the help of any tools, you can realize the Internet, calls, communication, and the Internet of Everything has penetrated into people's daily life. In this day and age, everyone is a core, and all kinds of remote operations do not require any superfluous actions from people, just an idea, and the desired results can be obtained. It was a time of peace, no war, no hunger, no discrimination, and people seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and no one would object to anything in such a life, and no one would believe in anything, just think about how to live this day, and the world would be like the kingdom of heaven, without sorrow, disease, war, hunger.

But human society is facing a great difficulty; Resources are indispensable for human life and survival, and they are also the most scarce things for human beings in this era; In the 100 years of the 21st century, the human technology tree seems to be crooked; Because it only focuses on the improvement of personal quality of life, and forgets the depletion of traditional energy sources, although nuclear fusion can bring endless energy to mankind, but because of its insecurity and other problems, people oppose the construction of fusion reactors near the gathering area; At that time, it seemed that human beings still could not control the energy produced by nuclear fusion very well, and most of the construction of a reactor had a so-called luck element in it.

So human beings came up with the key point to solve the problem, energy can be generated in outer space, and after the reflection of energy, it will be launched away from the earth; In this way, the earth will no longer pollute the environment due to the conversion of energy.

At this time, when human beings look into space from the earth, they will find several giant spaceships around the equator, which carry space fusion reactors that provide a steady stream of energy for the normal operation of human society. In order to make rational use of resources, human society has therefore come to a collective relocation, concentrating almost all human beings in urban clusters centered on the equator.

On this day of family joy, the Chinese people still maintain the habits of their ancestors; They will go to their hometown in the north in the winter to enjoy the ancient and short winter life, and then on this winter night, the family will look at the stars in the sky, pray for blessings, and remember their ancestors.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in that space; At first, people thought it was a new fusion reactor launched, but then the bright spot went from one to two, three...... Later, the whole sky was enveloped in light, and then people fell into doubt, and various conspiracies were quietly born; Scientists have not been able to come up with a reasonable explanation for this; The government has paid a great price to calm people's panic; In those days, there was almost no commuting, and everyone stuck to their posts; It wasn't until the third day that the light was produced, that the sky, which had been very bright, suddenly dimmed again, but the light was still there, but it was not as bright as it had been three days ago; When the light ceased to be dazzling, people saw the sky again.

It's just that this time the sky has changed, and above that sky is composed of those bright spots, the most amazing thing is that those words are in the eyes of people of different nationalities, and they see the words used in their own people; It was written, "You are my slaves." ”

Humans were curious about what the light was; So the governments launched the most advanced planetary exploration spacecraft at the time, flying into space to explore the secrets behind the light.

"The latest news, the data transmitted by the Sirius planetary probe found that the light in space is caused by a group of celestial bodies in the universe, called nebulae; Two years ago, the Milky Way suddenly burst into a nebula that had never been observed by humans, so this unknown light was produced around the Earth, so please don't panic and obey the law. ”

Humans seem to have one thing in common, that is, when they see something incredible, they pray silently, hoping to get something in return from that prayer, even if it is a rainbow that appears after a rain.

"Fake, it's all a lie, what nebula? Look what is written in the sky, slave, what are we, slaves. ”

"It was revealed that after the Bright Light Incident, all the rockets launched by the human government could not fly out of the atmosphere."

…………

At this time, various remarks appeared on the Internet, and everyone gradually began to question them.

Rumors are not terrible, what is terrible is people's hearts, people will imagine that they will have such a last straw, but what will happen when this straw is gone?

With the spread of rumors, at this moment human beings seem to have been shattered the last faith, although they have long lost their faith, people are no longer afraid, but despair has become the consensus of human society, so people fall into a state of collective lying flat.

Science and technology are stagnant, the social system is collapsing, no one will fight for the future anymore, and death and extinction should be the absolute future of mankind.

The advent of hunger makes peace go forever, and without war, people fall into cannibalism; When the system collapses, there is no ethical shackles, madness, despair and recklessness.

Once a person loses his future, he goes crazy; What if it were the whole of human society?

The inscription is in 2101 A.D., in early spring at the source of the Yellow River.
