Extra Story, Past and New Life
Extra, the volume of knowledge
Roland Hill consulted the data stored in the system. Although the records of human decline were incomplete, he still knew the general process.
Since the meteor shower in the 21st century, extraordinary power has begun to awaken in various places.
All kinds of organisms in nature have also undergone rapid mutation. Many strange abilities are hard to guard against, and the types of viruses that are also mutated have also increased dramatically, bringing widespread plagues, and various antibiotics are difficult to work. Even if it is finally contained, the number of humans has been greatly reduced.
In that era, various countries, governments, and organizations, whether official or private, began to study this peculiar phenomenon or ability.
And the first batch of superhumans among human beings are naturally controlled. If you are lucky, you can be a research facilitator in some large organizations, or enjoy better treatment. If you are unlucky, it will be more painful if you are caught by some underground organizations or marginal institutions.
Sometimes in order to obtain some rare and extreme data, those researchers do not have much moral bottom line.
It is precisely because of this that the first batch of transcendents began to form a group, seeking to protect themselves and safeguard their own interests. In the end, it was due to the conflict of ideas and the division of the old human beings. However, the old human government could not tolerate such an existence being out of control on a large scale, so the war broke out.
The mutated humans call themselves new humans. Although the number is small, most of them can use extraordinary powers and are stronger than ordinary people in many aspects, so they have the upper hand from the beginning. But the old humans also quickly climbed the genetic technology, and human beings who can adapt to extraordinary power after adjusting their genes appeared. They are called gene sequencers. Since then, the newborns of old humans are basically gene sequencers.
The gene sequencers are slightly weaker than the new humans, but the base is huge, and the combined strength of the old humans has surpassed the new humans since then. It's a pity that the good times don't last long. The number of creatures in nature is more than a few hundred times that of humans. After the mutation, some creatures become huge, some minions become extremely sharp, some can use flames, and so on. Their unconscious instinctive activity destroys many human facilities, wires, optical fibers, pipes, roads, etc.
The industrial chain of modern human society is becoming more and more complex, and the absence and destruction of one of the links will lead to failure in the later stage. In the end, a large number of factories had to stop production, and the overall productivity of society was hit hard. At this point, the old and new human beings have ceased fighting, and they have begun to deal with the invasion of mutant creatures.
The human government began to shrink activity areas and concentrated industrial areas, and the population slowly recovered. But mutant creatures are also constantly evolving, and the two sides have started a life-and-death race in just over ten years.
But this race was finally won by the mutant creatures, the advantage of numbers overwhelmed everything, and among them there were also wise rulers, who commanded a large number of mutant creatures to continuously impact the human defense line like a wave.
In the end, humans used nuclear bombs, and countless mushroom clouds bloomed on the ground. Now that this step has been reached, in order to prevent the resurgence of mutant creatures, humans on earth have used nuclear bombs to clean all the land on the continent, and countless dusts cover the sky and the sun. , the food chain collapsed, corpses floated in the sea, and the earth entered a nuclear winter.
Plants cannot survive without sunlight, and without plants for food, other living things will die out. The rest of the humans lay in the hibernation capsule, waiting for the earth to restart again.
When the dust settles and the sun rises again, the world will no longer be what it used to be.

&nb-46 Area Relic Excavation Diary"
3622.11.24
We entered here on the 11.7th of this month, with a team of 9 people, carrying two excavation units and a detection unit, digging down according to the residual consciousness signals.
The process was not smooth. At the beginning, I encountered a few strange beasts, the alarm on the shuttle boat kept ringing, and sometimes I felt uneasy when I went to the toilet.
Fortunately, the two guards in the team were all top students in the military academy, and the liquid knife-4 armor they drove was very powerful, so they repelled several waves of Sequence 5 alien beasts.
They seem to take this place very seriously, as if there is some kind of treasure. This is a good sign. I hope that some goods will be shipped this time, and the year-end bonus will also be available. I also want to buy a custom bionic maid for which I've been saving for years.
-------
3622.12.5
It seems that some hard guys have been dug. One of the excavation units is broken. The replacement shuttle we contacted will not arrive until next weekend. This is really too long. Can we go back before the end of the year? It's really cold outside.
--------
3622.12.12
Well, those hard guys are some kind of rare ore.
They are the product of the combination of Mana and reality, probably from the first shock? Anyway, that's what the nagging scholar in the team said.
--------
3622.12.18
It's shipped, but unfortunately the picture is not very good. This relic seems to have been created suddenly during the first impact, that is, after Mana's first contact with reality, a violent change occurred, and the people inside died instantly without realizing it. . (It looks like it should be a city in the past)
--------
3622.12.20
Dig up batch after batch. These cyan transparent substances are like amber, condensing the contents inside. Thanks to this, we even saw the daily necessities of ancient human beings, which are not very different from today. human beings
It has fallen, and there have been no major innovations for so many years.
--------
3622.12.22
Well, although they are all ancient people who have passed away, it is interesting that the detection unit indicates that one of them still has a weak consciousness.
--------
3622.12.24
Finished work, and finally went back a year ago.

A bland archaeological diary, but according to the remarks, Roland Hill understood that it was him who was excavated in this ruin.
But what happened later, according to the record of the project research and development team leader, when he was sealed up, he had no body yet, and it was still 3918.
According to the records in the data, after the meteor shower, a special substance, that is, Mana, began to appear in this world.
This magical presence acts as a bridge or catalyst, connecting the consciousness of the living being with the energy, matter, etc. of nature. In this way, there is also a basis for changing reality with the spirit.
At first, this effect only appeared on a very small group of people, and the extraordinary ability at that time was very weak, at most used for ignition, and it was impossible to fight with hot weapons.
Later, with the in-depth research, human beings concluded the rules.
If the scattered mana is a small glass bead, then the consciousness of the creature sends out specific waves to the outside world through this glass bead, thereby manipulating reality.
But it should be noted that this phenomenon is too weak, just like gravity, it is usually not noticed at all, and it only appears in a small number of special people after the mutation.
But creatures are smart, and they gradually select and exploit this phenomenon. So they collected the mana and arranged them neatly one by one to form a coherent structure. In this way, it only needs to push a part of it, and it can spread outward like a domino.
In this way, the creature has a more powerful ability to affect reality. This structure is also known as the Transcendent Core.
Once the most basic and solid foundation is laid, the building of high-rise buildings becomes extremely fast.
Mana is the most basic and flexible block, and the built-up spiritual sequence is also what humans are most adaptable to and good at. That is to make the transcendent core into his own personal AI, or computing manipulation device.
With the guidance of the spiritual sequence, humans can easily drive extremely complex machinery, quickly process and calculate various problems, and the efficiency of learning and memory is unprecedentedly improved.
It is also because of this that after human beings stepped out of the ground again, they soon entered a flourishing era.
Although the ground is still full of mana, chaotic magic, rampant beasts and insects, the sky is still covered by dim, yellowish clouds. But above the distant clouds, where mana is scarce, the human body does not feel uncomfortable, and the air is cleaner.
It is in such an environment that human beings gradually abandoned the ground and turned to build their own kingdom above the clouds. Cities, islands, airships, etc., rely on the anti-gravity array to hang high in the air.
The past and the new life, the earth and the sky, the two worlds are separated by floating clouds, this is the 'twilight era' in countless dust records.
