Project Code 001
Project title: Where all the chaos begins.
Object Containment: 001 cannot be contained. There is only one way that Object 001 can be absolutely indisputable [bold]
Project Appearance: 001 is not a physical entity. It belongs to a period of history in the past, the tragic history of mankind thousands of years ago. I hope all members of the Foundation can encourage each other.
Project Statement: Interview log of T2419, a survivor of the fall of civilization.
Reporter Smith: "Hello, Major T2419. You are one of the few people who survived the disaster. As a person from the old times, can you tell me how it all happened?"
T2419: "Why look for me? I am not very good at expressing myself. You can look for Wild Wolf, he is good at speaking."
Reporter Smith: "Your comrade, Lieutenant Colonel Hakka, died at the Xinshi City Central Hospital on the 29th of last month. Have you forgotten?"
T2419: "Really? Sorry, I'm too old. Old people are not very sensitive to time. Those things happened a long time ago. I need to think about it carefully."
ten minutes later
T2419: "I remember it was the summer of 2034, I was still in elementary school, and I accidentally came into contact with a clown cookie box. The box was alive."
"To make a long story short, the box is a very dangerous item. The clown on the box can kill people. Because of it, my family members died, and I also had my tongue pulled out. After that, I could only communicate with others through writing."
"Later, the predecessor of the Foundation, the Abnormal Monitoring Association, took me in. I spent a wonderful time there, met my lover, and had two lovely daughters."
"I thought that this would be my life, finding objects to contain or destroying them, and being a policeman on the dark side of the Earth."
"But then, everything changed. On the surface, the number of projects increased exponentially. Everything became a project. I mean everything, including graffiti on the wall, even the sunlight in the sky, even my two daughters..."
Reporter Smith: "My condolences, but this is not your fault."
T2419: "Let's get back to the topic. Later, we could no longer hide the project, so we announced it to the public through the United Nations."
"Then the era of madness came, and humans began to use various items as roughly as they used fire. They used those things to commit crimes or maintain justice. The more lethal the items were, the more popular they were."
"That period was really crazy. You know, just because of a project, the entire African population was instantly reduced by half. In the end, it took the cooperation of several nuclear powers to contain the project."
Reporter Smith: "It does sound crazy, what were you doing at the time?"
T2419: "It's still the same as before. Find the object, contain it or destroy it. However, we no longer care about those with low security levels. Our priority is always based on the possibility of destroying our world."
"The work in the foundation is tiring but fulfilling. As we come into contact with more and more of these things, we gradually adapt to them."
"Humans have a very strong ability to adapt. When nearly half of the world's 7.6 billion people were gone, order finally came back to the human world."
"Based on past experience, we humans will eventually control this power and use it on our own species to make us stronger. But it's all over because they are here."
Reporter Smith: "Who are they?"
T2419: "There are some gods headed by 002. We don't know what they look like, because when anyone observes them through an astronomical telescope, the final outcome is that they either die or go crazy."
"The news was leaked out, and the countries on the surface began to collapse. The law, order and human civilization began to fade away, and everyone was reveling in the final moments. The end of mankind seemed to be approaching."
Reporter Smith: "From the current situation, the human race has not reached the end. At least a small part of it has not."
T2419: "You are right. When they entered the solar system, the Foundation discovered that there is space under the earth, enough space for human beings to survive. We don't know what it is, but this may be the way for human beings to survive."
"The people on the surface began to split into two groups. One group began to build spaceships, while the other group prepared to migrate to the Earth Sea."
"I don't need to tell you what happened next. You all know it. Humans abandoned the surface and came to the Earthsea, giving the surface to them."
"Later, we arrived at Earthsea and found 003. After analyzing the similarities between them, we felt that 002 and the others were most likely here because of Him, and we humans were simply affected."
"We don't know what happened to the humans on the surface and those on the spacecraft. I hope they can survive."
"I'm dying. I've lived long enough. Recently, I often dream about the lawn in my backyard when I go to sleep. I miss home, even if it's just a simple look."
"I'm afraid not. All surface exits have been sealed, and the GK Council wants to modify the memories of the entire Foundation."
"Ah~ This is not something that an old man like me who is about to die should consider. So let it be. You people who were born in the Earthsea will never understand that kind of emotion."
The interview ended at 15:29 on June 1, 2112.
Charles stared at the three-dimensional document that was slowly rising and falling in the air. Is this 001? Is this the truth? The earth has become so unrecognizable because of those gods from outside
Charles's head was buzzing, and just as he was trying to accept this information, he suddenly saw that the record of 001 had not been completed.
As the spider's thin legs gently stroked the table, the document quickly turned to the second page.
Project code: 001
Project Name: Earthsea
Object Containment: Species 001 cannot be contained. There is absolutely only one species of Object 001. [Bold]
Project Appearance: 001 is not a physical entity. It is a spherical ring-shaped space inside the earth. We currently have no idea of its origin, but it is most likely related to God.
Project Statement: The surface of the earth is a special area. It is very unstable. The time, space, and various anomalies are all unstable.
Moreover, Earthsea has a time and plane that are different from those on the surface. Not only is the direction opposite, but the length is also different. Every time we spend a day here, the time on the surface will be advanced ten years later.
If we extrapolate from the current time, the current surface of the earth should no longer exist, but it exists in a way that defies logic, and there are some special things on it, things that we cannot understand at present. "
"Based on our continuous observation and detection, we call it 002."
