I heard that before the Cataclysm, it was a very simple thing for humans to create explosions. Humans at that time had mastered many methods of making different substances explode. At that time, humans created terrifyingly powerful bombs that could explode. It can easily destroy a city and kill millions of people. Many people can even easily make many explosives at home.
With the arrival of the Cataclysm and the Star of God, all the rules in the world have changed. These changes have caused mankind to lose the ability to make explosives for hundreds of years after the Cataclysm. Before the Second Holy War, humans once again mastered this ability through the excavation of underground ruins and the enlightenment of ancient civilizations. I heard that this ability is related to crystals, but compared with before the Cataclysm, this era , people who have mastered the ability to make explosives are even rarer than the dinosaurs in human society before the cataclysm.
Why didn't things that exploded before explode after the Cataclysm? Until now, many people have tried to discover the mystery and have proposed many explanations. Among these explanations, the two most famous ones are the string change theory based on the string theory of the universe, and the other is the The God Particle theory based on the Star of God.
The argument of the string change theory is that the Cataclysm and the Star of God caused the string state of the basic composition of the planet's matter to change, which led to changes in many basic rules of the planet. There are many people who support this statement, but string theory The view of the universe was still controversial before the Cataclysm. Using the viewpoint of string change theory to explain everything that happened after the Cataclysm seems to be reasonable, but it is meaningless because it is not something that humans can grasp.
In addition to the string change theory, there is also the mysterious particle theory brought by the Star of God. This argument also has a very broad basis and is supported by many people. This argument is that some mysterious particles brought by the Star of God changed all the rules of the planet after irradiating it. In addition to mentioning the success of certain human studies on the microscopic world before the cataclysm, those who support the mysterious particle theory point of view also like to use a metaphor that is the "missing one theory" - in a classroom with 50 chairs, if only one person sits There are 49 people in the classroom. As long as one chair is vacant, all 49 people in the classroom can change their positions freely, because there is always an empty chair. This is the scientific rule that the world advocated before the catastrophe. The basis of this rule is the empty chair in the classroom. That chair allows everyone in the classroom to maintain a certain flow and possibility.
After the catastrophe, the Star of God sat on the vacant chair in the classroom, and the fluidity and possibility that could have been maintained in the entire classroom disappeared in an instant. Because there are no empty chairs. But the light brought by the Star of God also allows people who were originally confined to the classroom to see the outside world and the limitations of their original living space. I saw the colorful space outside the classroom that everyone thought was nothing but darkness.
This view is the most popular. Zhang Tie's natural history teacher at school supported this view. According to the current research and understanding of the human world before the Catastrophe, humans before the Catastrophe, under the inducement of the demons and the arrogance of human self-awareness, have fallen into a so-called "scientific trap". At that time Human beings blindly believe that the science they master is the only and ultimate truth of the universe. But it turns out that the crazy worship of science at that time was nothing more than a blind man's game played by a few people with the majority. That elephant is the whole picture and truth of the universe, and science, in front of the whole picture and truth of the universe, cannot even be counted as a hand, but can only be counted as a finger. This finger touched the elephant, so everyone I believe that the universe is actually a rough, flexible wall that imprisons people. People's living space depends on the size of that wall.
The biggest fallacy of science is rooted in the limitations of people's five-sense perception and consciousness. What people see with their eyes, hear with their ears, smell with their noses, and feel with touch are actually the existence forms of certain substances within a very narrow frequency range of visible light. To the entire universe, this frequency within the visible light range that people can perceive is just a bowl of water in a water tank or a key on the entire piano keyboard. When the hand of science presses that key, people hear the sound. So I thought of that key as the whole piano.
The so-called science is only an extension of people's five senses and consciousness to explore the universe. The limitations of people's five senses and consciousness have caused the limitations of science. In the earliest times, the science mastered by mankind did play a positive role in human progress. But later, especially in the hundreds of years before the catastrophe, so-called science became a shackles for people's self-imprisonment, and also It became a tool used by the demons to destroy humans.
The "scientific spokesperson" at that time told people that it was the only intelligent life on this planet, or even the only intelligent life in the entire universe...
The "scientific spokesperson" at that time told people that the planet under our feet was solid, and that there was nothing underground except magma and stones...
The "science spokesperson" at that time told people that the so-called full potential of human beings only makes you run faster, jump higher, and be smarter...
The "scientific spokesperson" at that time told people that the first ancestor of all human beings was a carbon-based protein produced by lightning striking water. This carbon-based protein evolved into a single-cell organism after n years of evolution, and then n years later What did they become after they evolved... Finally, apes evolved into humans. Human beings have no history and past. You can see the history and past of human beings by visiting zoos and geological and fossil museums.
By the way, the "science" at that time also told people that more than 98% of the genes in your body are garbage.
People believed it, and the demons hiding among humans were happy.
At that time, humans were actually equivalent to lambs that were blindfolded by the demons with black cloth and waiting to be slaughtered. Humans were killed in large numbers by the demons using various means, but they didn’t know why or who did it. In the human world, while science has made unprecedented progress, the greatest role of science is to weld the cages in which humans are imprisoned more tightly, to tighten the ropes tied to humans, and to tighten the methods of killing humans. It makes it even scarier and more innovative, making it hard to guard against.
Before the Great Cataclysm, many people were implanted with chips controlled by the demons as soon as they were born. They were under strict surveillance by the demons. Then, in the name of vaccination, they were forced to inject some viruses into their bodies, infecting the human body. Their immune system was completely destroyed, and those viruses also limited the human body's potential and the further improvement and liberation of DNA. Then, all people were thrown into the terrifying world designed by the demons and full of terror, vendetta and violence.
In that world, war is killing, chaos is killing, the environment destroyed and polluted by humans is killing, food modified by demons is killing, hatred is killing, fear is killing, inequality of wealth is killing, oppression is killing The system is killing people... Everything, all people, consciously or unconsciously, are serving a set of terrifying orders that will eventually wipe out everyone.
Because many people in this era believed that it was the Star of God that rescued mankind from the terrible trap of cannibalism, so most people attributed all the changes in the world to that Star of God. , wanting to find the answer to everything from the Star of God.
The arrival of the Star of God marks the end of the scientific era of mankind and the beginning of the Black Iron Age, so the influence of this latter theory is also wider.
In addition to the above two explanations and statements, Zhang Tie also heard another explanation from Tang De. That explanation is that the position of the planet where people are now in the universe started from the great cataclysm and the arrival of the Star of God. , entering another space-time density. In different space-time densities, the properties and performances of all matter are different. This space-time density is said to have existed before the great cataclysm. It was first revealed in some secrets of human beings. It is a saying that is popular in the community and has been circulating for the longest time.
Zhang Tie's knowledge and wisdom cannot tell whether these theories are true or false. All he can focus on are the facts happening around him. These theories and hypotheses state only one fact - in this era when science has come to an end, explosive things and those People who can make these things are treasures. Most people may not see an explosion in their lifetime. Even in wars, explosives are rarely used. This is not to say that they are useless, but on the contrary, it is too It's useful, but can't be used. Using explosives in war is like using gold bricks to hit people. Without a return of more than ten times, who would be willing to use gold bricks to hit people.
The explosion was characterized by a loud thunder-like sound and flames, which were two important signs Tang De told Zhang Tie to use to identify explosions. Because Zhang Tie had never seen an explosion before, Zhang Tie was not completely sure whether what he saw at the window was the legendary explosion. I just feel that the fire in the sky outside the window is particularly amazing at night.
After that loud noise, the whole Brape never fell silent again tonight.
…
The next day, when Zhang Tie put on his lieutenant's uniform and went out, he discovered that the entire streets of Brape were filled with soldiers wearing dark red military uniforms, checking the passers-by. The atmosphere was ten times more tense than yesterday.
For Brape, who is only more than 100 kilometers away from the front line, or an hour's drive at a faster pace, the smoke and destruction of the slowly heating up war between the two countries was inevitable two weeks after Zhang Tie came to the Logistics Department and took office. It extends from the front to here...
The tranquility of Brape was broken.
When troubled times come, where is the pure land
A sense of crisis once again arose in Zhang Tie's heart... (...)
