Gray-black industrial dust hangs over the pyramid-shaped city, blocking almost all sunlight.
On a high-level campus in the middle of the city, a simple metal car crashes quickly, and on the train a virtual projection plays the world news that has just been announced.
"This station reports that the newest Russian Federation-class starship, Gravity, entered operational phase today at 17:38."
passengers of various types looked at this report and their faces were full of pride.
But among the crowd, a high school student in a blue and white school uniform was clearly distracted.
His name is Rosen.
a time traveler who has been in the Trisolaran world for seventeen years.
And now, it is November 28, 2221, Earth time in the Deterrence Era.
At this time, Rosen was thinking about a conversation that happened not long ago.
"Comrade Rosen, on behalf of all the researchers at the Central Academy of Sciences, I would like to extend my sincere invitation to you again, and I implore you to participate in our experimental project."
"I don't know if you have noticed that since the Deterrence Era, with the launch of mankind's first starship, until today's official operation of the Gravity, people seem to have gradually forgotten the huge threat that the Trisolaran civilization once brought to us."
"This is never a good thing!"
"Looking at those blind and arrogant people, I can vaguely feel that the day when the crisis will come is not far away."
"So, we must master other countermeasures!"
"For the sake of humanity, for your relatives, and for you, Comrade Rosen, I hope you can carefully consider our invitation this time."
"Because your decision will most likely directly determine the life and death of all mankind!"
"We will always wait for you!"
"Anytime, anywhere..."
"As long as we don't die with human civilization!"
The above words all came from the mouth of the person who talked to Rosen.
Before school today, Professor Ning, the chief academician of the Central Academy of Sciences, came to his campus in person and invited him to participate in a secret project.
And this is the fourth call of the Academy of Sciences.
Secret Project is a very special experience.
God creates a project!
AKA God's plan!
's goal is to create an endless life of perfection!
This project was officially launched only in the second year after the birth of Rosen. It could also be said that this project only took off with the arrival of Rosen.
...
"Ding dong! Area D404 is here!
Rossen implemented due to request; Suddenly, his body moved, he put on his school bag and left the car behind the crowd.
As we walked through the narrow alleys, various virtual projection advertisements lit up the surroundings.. Rosen scanned the first floor door with his eyes and followed the elevator to the 137th floor.
This is the residential area of the city where most of the civilians live.
"Komori, school is over!"
As soon as the door opened, my mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, put her head out and said: - Go wash your hands quickly. We'll eat soon."
The mother, with short hair and a sharp face, is dressed in a blue dress and an apron, which makes her look especially strong.
"Your mom made your favorite corned beef and potatoes and you do your homework after dinner."
On the sofa, his father, who was watching the news, turned off the projector and patted the empty sofa next to him. and motioned for Rosen to rest.
The smiling father has a beautiful face, has a long hair scarf, wears a shirt and thin pants, is tall and thin, has an elegant and gentle demeanor, and even speaks softly and pleasantly.
As Rosen stood at the door, he looked at his parents, who had apparently changed sex.
I didn't find anything strange.
He just lowered his head with a worried face and calmly called her.
"Father, mother..."
"What's going on? I was being bullied at school."
His father saw his son's face and was about to ask, but his words suddenly stopped.
As if he remembered something, he suddenly got up and ran to Rosen. , his gentle face immediately changed. Father's voice He was full of anger.
My mother also left her cooked vegetables.
When Rosen looked at him, he shook his head a little.
"Does Ning Hongguang hold a grudge against us? Why does he always encourage you to die?"
Father clenched his fists and sighed angrily, "You're just like other children. There's nothing special about you. Why does he deliberately try to involve you in this damn experiment?"
"They also say that this is for all mankind and for the civilization on earth." It's just a joke!"
"Syaomori, you can't believe this guy's lies. They just want you to be a test subject. Since Earth is so peaceful now, how can there still be any danger? And what happens when the Trisolars arrive? We have thousands. A starship is not just a living thing; it can definitely drive them back to their hometown."
"Even if the enemy does rush in front of you, your parents will help you block it!"
The mother on the side suddenly hugged Rosen and said with a worried look, "Xiao Sen, listen to your dad; we just want to see you safe."
"Dad, Mom..."
Rosen raised his head to meet his parents' eyes and couldn't help but burst into tears.
But at this moment, his body flickered again.
Not only that, the mother hugging him, the father standing in front of him, the room within sight, the entire building, the entire residential area, and even the entire city suddenly flickered.
It seems to be frozen into an image.
In the blink of an eye, the entire city glowed with colorful and strange lights.
When Rosen looked at his parents, who were like soap bubbles, he seemed to change suddenly. His hands were shaking unnaturally, and the brightness of his eyes was replaced by serious twists of life and pain.
"Father, mother…"
"It just so happens that I am the most special of all people."
"Because my soul is not of this world."
"Unfortunately..."
Suddenly, as if a breeze blew, everything in Rosen's eyes looked like burning ashes, which slowly began to dissipate.
Parents come first.
Then there is the room.
And then there is the whole building.
And finally the whole city.
It was until the sky was covered with gray fog.
There is dead and burnt soil under the dome.
"Very bad. It's too late!"
When he finished speaking, a small wave spread over Rosen's body, completely changing his appearance.
He was floating in the air, his body slowly losing his human flesh and blood and turning into a blue energy light, only a few broken pieces wrapped around his body.
It is now November 30, 2672, the age of destruction.
It was all just a metaphor he created.
So is his real life.
"Father, Mother, Professor Ning, the experiment has succeeded! God's creation project has succeeded!"
"Look at me now!"
"I am fully capable of saving you, and I am fully capable of becoming the savior of all mankind!"
"Look at me..."
Suddenly, Rosen's face was completely distorted and full of madness.. His hands stretched forward, trying to directly capture the projection of the illusion
But there was nothing but air. Rosen slowly withdrew his hands, covered his face with both hands, and slowly curled up in the air, his whole body shaking violently
"I'm sorry!"
"Father, Mother, Professor Ning, I couldn't save you; I..." not even one person could be saved!"
The rose rose because of the pain.
He wanted to cry.
But not a single drop of liquid fell from his eyes; only energy gases were released into the air.
...
Four hundred and fifty years ago, November 28th, 2222,
At the last moment of the Depression Era, when Cheng Xin took Luo Ji's sword-bearing hand, the drop of water arrived on schedule.
But how is it different from Rosen's original work? It's a memory -
After the arrival of the water droplets, they not only destroyed thousands of human spaceships in space, but in a very short time they directly destroyed the entire human civilization.
as a drop of corrective liquid that destroys all life on Earth.
Destroying you has nothing to do with it!
Three-year-olds did it!
In all of Earth, only Rosen survived, the divine project was successful, and his soul fell into the quantum dimension.
After ten days.
When Rosen finally freed himself from the quantum dimension and used natural energy to form a body, all he saw was a barren Earth.
There is no building!
The animals are gone!
The plants are gone!
Humanity is gone!
On this desolate and silent planet, all traces of life have disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Rosen saw this scene, suddenly went crazy.
He frantically ran to where his parents were, but the city he remembered had long since disappeared.
Not a single remnant of his parents remained.
At that moment, Rosen was disappointed!
God's creation project gave him almost godlike powers, giving him the ability to decompose all matter, absorb all energy, and analyze all information. But...
With the complete collapse of human civilization, there was nothing Rosen could do.
Due to despair, Rosen immediately lost hope of life.
He decided to use his powers to destroy his mind and destroy himself.
Fortunately, it was at this moment that an accidental discovery ignited his will to live.
In the original city, now a scorched earth, Rosen accidentally discovered the remnants of human thought data that had been erased.
This surprised him.
Because from the point of view of terrestrial biology, the soul of living beings is essentially the sum of the information of the biological mind.
It also means that Rosen can revive him!
Doomsday of his parents!
Resurrection of all the dead!
However, the opposite is often the case.
Rosen spent ten years wandering all over the world inside and outside of Earth to collect the remaining thoughts of every human and every living thing and store them in his body.
But when Rosen tried to revive him…
He suddenly realized that he could not create the flesh and blood of a being.
With no other choice, Rosen could only settle for the next best thing: creating mechanical bodies and trying to impart human thoughts to these machines.
However, a serious problem arose.
Because the time was so long, the thought data of each person he collected was lost and could not form a whole.
Rose is disappointed again!
However, this time he did not think about suicide.
Because while collecting information about human thinking, Rosen also saw pieces of each person's life.
He mostly looked at the fragments from the last moments of each person.
He looked at the memory of those who died unawares.
Rosen's heart burned with revenge!
He wants to take revenge on the Trisolans!
He wants revenge on the Trisolar civilization for his parents and all of humanity!
in the next four hundred years.
Rosen tried to capture energy from inside and outside of Earth and used his abilities to build countless detectors and send them to every corner of the solar system.
He's waiting for the Trisolars to arrive!
also...
He was also constantly looking at everyone's memories.
Watch the moments of death of every soldier of the fleet and the moments of life of every citizen on earth.
Loneliness is enough to kill a person!
especially this eternal loneliness!
Even at this point, Rosen was no longer a person in the truest sense.
But in order not to be killed by loneliness and not to lose his humanity, Rosen could endure everyone's pain, slowly accumulating it in his heart and waiting for the moment when it would finally explode.
end.
Boom!
A huge clock with a height of 100 meters made a clear sound on a high mountain in the distance.
When he heard the commotion, Rosen rushed in.
Goat!
The huge screen was quickly removed from the watch.
In the vast space of the universe, a spaceship suddenly ran, and behind it, a fleet that could not be seen next to it, huge and organized.
They are on their way to Earth.
"Three bodies!"
"You're finally here!"
Rosen looked up without hesitation, hiding the pain on his face and replacing it with unparalleled determination.
Bang!
A roar was heard.
It was as if his body was equipped with a rocket launcher and he was flying straight to the sky.
Bang!
Rose's flight speed exceeded the speed of sound in just one second.
Break through the gray and black clouds!
Get out of the atmosphere!
Rosen always raised his head and looked ahead. At the other end was a star that radiated unlimited amounts of light and heat.
Sun!
He wants to sharpen the jewel of the sun. He reads www.uukanshu.com and uses himself as a focal point to illuminate this star that has illuminated mankind for years!
Use it to honor Trisolar civilization!
Rose's speed increases.
Ten times the speed of sound!
One hundred times the speed of sound!
thousand times the speed of sound!
Ten thousand times the speed of sound!
Tenths of the speed of light!
Until the end...
It even became completely clear!
At this time, the Trisolar fleet noticed
Every Trisolar person noticed this special light.
At one point, even three-year-olds, who were very indifferent to personal feelings, suddenly felt a deep fear in their hearts.
This fear is a natural instinct that death is near!
"This light..."
"I'm...running towards the sun!"
...
"Father, mother, Professor Ning and... everyone who lives in my heart."
Rosen looked at the sun so much, He sank into the heart without any hesitation.
At this moment, he felt a sense of immense satisfaction in his heart.
The speed has not decreased at all.
At the moment when the sun fell into the brain, Rosen cried out in his heart.
"This is my last strength!"
"Let it burn!"
"Sun!"
But at this moment...
A sudden change happened!
As Rosen was about to release all the energy in his body, he immediately lost control of his body due to the force that was generated from nothing. The body, which had infinite energy, suddenly shrunk in a microsecond and turned into a single body. The size of an atom.
Then...
disappeared without a trace!
