As time flies, earth civilization has also undergone many changes.
The waves of the times come one after another.
Under the torrent, everyone has no power to struggle and can only be carried forward.
Time has unknowingly given the headquarters of the Supernatural International Alliance in Donghua City a layer of age that cannot be washed away. Even though workers often renovate the building, there is still a sense of age on the walls and tile surfaces. .
The only thing that remains unchanged is that human civilization will always be that human civilization.
For example, a red banner was hung on the building with a line of large characters written on it: [Warmly celebrating the centenary of the birth of Zhang Ming, the founder of human breathing technology! 】
[Seventy-six years after mankind entered the supernatural era, we must adhere to the scientific outlook on development and build a harmonious new Yongshun! 】
[The whole world celebrates together and wishes the world more prosperity! 】
News broadcasts, radio stations, and Internet media are all mentioned more or less.
Yes, it has been 76 years since mankind entered the supernatural age.
Three generations are enough to change a lot.
There are no particularly grand commemorative programs, but these special publicity activities are everywhere, giving citizens of the whole society a sense of ritual.
After all, if you don’t occupy the high ground of culture, the enemy will.
If we want to unify the world, we must artificially create some "global culture" that meets people's expectations.
"Zhang Ming" is naturally an important icon in global culture. No matter how mean a person is, when talking about Lao Zhang, he would not dare to be a troll even on the Internet. After all, there are more superpower violence phenomena in this era than we can handle. Talking nonsense It is really possible to be unboxed by the Internet.
Of course, in addition to Lao Zhang, there are also Professor Yuan Ping, the inventor of mutant rice, Professor Peter Greer of parapsychology, elite scientists from all walks of life; warriors who sacrificed their lives in the fight against mutant life; some The inventor of Mi Nian in the skill stream and so on...
These are the bannermen of the global cultural movement.
I have to say that the ideology of this era is quite strange.
A young man walked on the grand square and looked at everything in the city.
He came by train from far, far away. He was wearing a denim T-shirt and carrying a backpack. He looked quite young. Only one pair of eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes far beyond those of his peers.
Supernatural Headquarters functions completely differently than it did in the past.
In the past, it was an exchange center for science and technology. It had a relaxed and free communication atmosphere. There were many young scholars and there were many universities in the surrounding areas.
But now, it is a political and military center, with few pedestrians coming and going.
The university has also moved to other locations.
A row of soldiers with live ammunition stood at their posts, with rune daggers on their belts. The rune rifles on their chests can easily kill S-class warriors.
As for the technological progress of the earth in recent years...it is actually quite average.
On the one hand, unifying the world's culture cannot avoid internal chaos and does not create a very good business environment. Think about it, just for the right to have a surname, you can quarrel to the point of life and death, and make others give up their own culture, so why not lead to a direct war?
After all, the development of science and technology still needs the support of the external environment. The saying "if you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, it's hard to move around" is no joke.
On the other hand, human scientists were surprised to find that with the emergence of supernatural phenomena, many physical technologies may have actually reached their end.
Although supernatural phenomena on Earth are rarer than in other worlds, there are still some. Certain microscopic phenomena will be hindered by idealistic factors. Even with such a slight obstacle, a large number of scientific and technological branches will basically declare bankruptcy.
Instead, some techniques combine idealism and materialism.
Of course, the research and development of these idealistic technologies is relatively more difficult and costly, and the research is piecemeal and unsystematic.
Coupled with the lack of a large amount of external information sent by Zhang Ming, the technological development of the earth has gradually leveled off... This is normal. People on earth are not smarter than civilizations outside the territory. They have been developing for thousands of years, and they have not succeeded. Interstellar civilization, and the people on earth, naturally can’t do it either.
"May I ask you are……"
"Oh, I'm from the Western Region of the Earth Alliance. I came here to visit and find some acquaintances." The young man showed a somewhat awkward smile.
"Please show your personal ID! No one is allowed to enter this place!" The heavily guarded security force stopped the young man who was looking around. "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Chairman Qin." The young man showed his ID and said with a smile.
There was silence in the air for a second.
All the security members were shocked!
The Chairman of the Qin Council... is the highest-ranking powerful person in the world today!
After a long time, the leader stumbled and asked.
"Do you...do you have an appointment? May I ask your name?"
"We had an appointment a long time ago. I don't know if he remembers it. I told him my name is Li Fengxian... he should meet me. If not, forget it." The young man shrugged.
Li Fengxian?
The powerful security captain looked at the name on the certificate and felt a little confused.
It doesn't match the name on the certificate.
Especially the person in front of him doesn't look like a powerful person. He is still so young and there is no way he can be related to the Chairman of the Qin Council.
But these things were not what he needed to care about, and he quickly passed on the news.
"Let him come in, it's an... old acquaintance." An old voice issued instructions on the earphones.
"Yes, I will take you in. Please do not take pictures or videos here. Many things here are confidential, and do not carry any weapons." The security captain added, "Please come here to undergo security inspection. All strange things are confidential." All your belongings must be turned in, and we will return them to you after you leave.”
"Oh, I know."
Under the guidance of the captain, the young man boarded a sightseeing elevator.
The elevator rocketed upward.
Looking out from the glass, far, far away, the numb crowd and the fanatical crowd form the other side of the city.
The worst of times and the best of times run parallel to each other.
He actually couldn't describe this era, because his memory had just awakened, and a very important question lingered in his mind: "Who am I? Who am I?"
"I am Li Xianfeng, or..."
"A new life?"
In this life, he was born into an ordinary family and lived an ordinary, somewhat poor life.
It wasn't until adulthood that the memory slowly awakened.
【Reincarnation】!
He also has parents, and he can enjoy the warm family affection, and sincerely thinks that they are his parents.
It’s just that my parents can’t give me too many resources.
If you want to climb higher, it will be very difficult for a person with no family background and low cultivation qualifications.
In fact, this is the same in every era. The only difference is whether the people live well or poorly.
In this era, how can I put it... If you have to stick to your own culture, your life must be very difficult and you hate this era. But if you think those things are irrelevant, then you can actually get by so-so. Especially the people of Daxia who used to have no big problems.
And he knew that the cruel era was coming to an end soon, because the leader of the era, old comrade Qin Yiwei, was going to die soon.
"Dong dong dong!" He knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Qin?"
"Li Xianfeng, right? His name is... Carl Baochajin... he looks good, but there is really no way to get rid of such trivial things as name culture." Qin Yiwei laughed.
After many years, he saw this old friend again.
The veins on Qin Yiwei's face were like varicose veins, bulging outward one by one. The wrinkles on his face and the lifeless look in his eyes made people worry that he might die suddenly at any time.
The young man couldn't help but think of cross-section pictures of cancer tissue.
Anyone who has seen cancer knows that it represents death and the end of life - it must be the bane of normal life.
So he was frightened by this invisible threat, and his eyes were clamped in a vise. He really acted like an 18-year-old young man, not a person who had had a previous life.
Maybe, body hormones will always affect a person's mind, no matter how many lifetimes they are reincarnated.
Hormones determine emotions and many, many more.
Qin Yiwei called out all the secretaries and bodyguards, leaving only this young man sitting in the office with some anxiety.
"Are you 18 years old this year?" Qin Yiwei smiled again, "That's great. Young people always have a future... It's a pity that I know my body and I will not live long."
"Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Pour yourself a cup of tea. Pour me a cup too, just plain boiled water."
The young man poured tea, sat across from Qin Yiwei, and said, "You still have not achieved your goal. All races in the world are still full of hatred and estrangement. Some things have been suppressed, but they are only temporary."
"And after you die, you will definitely be stigmatized."
Qin Yiwei was stunned for a moment. He had not heard such harsh words for a long time.
As a tyrant, who dares to talk to him about this?
This is nothing more than an invisible cocoon of information.
He smiled and accepted the young man's statement.
"Yeah, but it's enough. I never thought about changing anything completely."
"However, human nature always likes to be reconciled and compromised. With my extreme methods and other less extreme methods, it is more acceptable. After I die, the world may be divided again, but it doesn't matter. , it is impossible to have more than 100 countries like in the past."
"At least we have completed the unification of the world. Even if it is through some kind of barbaric force, it is enough to plant a psychological understanding in the common people. External pressure exists for a long time, and the development of unique technology also requires a unified government. Humanity If you don’t want to perish, you know what to do.”
