Code of Wasteland Survival

It was barren.

Perhaps, it is not entirely appropriate to say that it is barren. There are many definitions of barrenness. In places where human beings live, barrenness can be a large golden desert, it can be a lifeless lead gray wasteland, or it can be as far as the eye can see. the sea without any source of fresh water...

But in the vast universe, the definition of barrenness is very simple - not suitable for biological survival.

Here... is the earth in the real world.

The damage caused by war is far more terrifying than described in the virtual program. The trauma caused by human weapons to this planet cannot be healed in three, five, or ten years—if there is a If a person stands on the earth, as long as he raises his head, he can see the deep and dark sky, and the brilliant stars are intertwined in the distance to form a long river of bright and soft light...

Such a scene, in the history of mankind, can only be seen in the era before the birth of the industrial revolution... Ever since towering chimneys rose from the ground, huge cities were lit up by lights, and people can live in The number of stars seen in the night sky is also decreasing at a rapid rate.

But being able to see so many stars at this time is not because light pollution and air pollution have been effectively treated, but because the atmosphere that has appeared since the earliest stages of the earth's formation has completely disappeared...

Of course, if we talk about it from a rigorous scientific point of view, it cannot be said that it has completely disappeared. The atmosphere still exists, but it is countless times thinner than before. Moreover, the gas composition that makes up the atmosphere has also changed drastically. other changes.

In fact, it's not that human beings don't want to return to the surface to survive, but that they can no longer return to the surface to survive... Even those shelters built under the rock formations have been eroded enough to cause death

The current earth is no different from those desolate planets floating in the universe. The surface of the earth is directly exposed to the dangerous cosmic environment, and cosmic rays carrying various high-energy charged particles pass through the atmosphere so thin that it can almost be ignored... …In addition, there are various meteorites and meteors. These large and small stones and metal blocks constantly hit the surface of the earth, making the surface of the earth just like its only natural satellite at the beginning.

Grand Canyon of Eris.

The length of this canyon is 7,000 kilometers, the widest part is 344 kilometers, and the deepest part is more than 4,000 meters. It is even more spectacular than the old famous East African Rift Valley... and the formation of this The one in the Grand Canyon is a giant meteorite Eris IV that fell on the earth 125 years ago.

The body of Eris IV is located at the end of the Grand Canyon of Eris. It is a spinning cone-shaped meteorite with one end pointing obliquely to the sky. From a distance, it looks like a towering mountain.

However, whether it is the Grand Canyon of Eris or the Eris IV, the area where they are located had another name in the past.

Pacific Ocean.

...

In the middle of the Eris Canyon, there is a huge crater. Looking down from the earth’s low-Earth orbit, the interior of this crater presents a strange metallic color—this is not an illusion of vision, nor is it because This crater is filled with a large number of high-purity metal veins, but because there are a large number of human creations in this crater.

To be precise, it is a creation of human technology.

The results of the 9527th test are out, said a voice.

Oh? The result is still the same as before. This is another voice.

...No, he rejected the mastermind's proposal. After a little hesitation, the first voice continued.

Rejected? Are you sure it was his voluntary consciousness that rejected it? Didn't you give any hint of spiritual ability? The second voice contained a hint of doubt.

I did hint at his spiritual consciousness, but what I hinted at was to let him accept the 'Utopia plan' proposed by the mastermind, but he still refused, decisively, resolutely, without hesitation. The second voice replied .

That means...

This means that the next opportunity can finally be put on the agenda...

And our mission is about to end, right?

It's too early for you to say that. The preparatory work alone may take thousands of years... What's more, this planet can no longer be regarded as a place suitable for human habitation.

Then you plan to find another place and transform it into the original earth, right? In the past thousand years, the core of the earth has solidified by 2.85%... Our energy is no longer enough to support the earth. Was it then?

No, we don't need to go to that level. We don't need to create a new earth. We just need to provide new humans with a world that allows them to 'live on their last days'. As for the future, we have to leave it to them to master.

...Are you planning to forcibly raise the technological level of new humans to the current level? The amount of information at that level will directly burst their brains and destroy their cognition... Unless that person is originally a Crazy, otherwise any human being who accepts this inheritance will go crazy.

No, I didn't intend to do that. I want them to go through the development of civilization again—from the primitive age of blood and blood.

Then how long do you think they can last? In that harsh environment? Maybe they didn't last a hundred years before they were completely extinct.

That can only show that our attempt this time has failed again... It's only a hundred years, and this price is acceptable.

Another meteorite penetrated the thin atmosphere and hit the earth's crust. Amidst the huge vibration and explosion, debris and dust splashed everywhere, and a brand new crater was gradually forming.

And deep in the earth's crust, inside a dark and silent research room, stood a cylindrical cultivation chamber.

A dim blue light emanated from the bottom of the cultivation chamber, illuminating the thing suspended in the cultivation chamber...

This is a fleshy vesicle with a height of about two meters. The surface of the vesicle is covered with blood vessels of various thicknesses. These blood vessels have been wriggling rhythmically, transporting the liquid inside the vesicle. Under the layers of white fascia, you can vaguely see dark nerve-like tentacles densely distributed in it...

Suddenly, the peristaltic rhythm of the blood vessels suddenly accelerated, as if a person who was breathing normally became violently panting. With the changes in the blood vessels, the entire fleshy vesicle began to contract violently like a heart!

A dull, flesh-and-blood tearing sound came from the inside of the vesicle, and the contraction of the vesicle stopped suddenly. Then, a crack appeared on the surface of the vesicle, and a large number of air bubbles gushed out of the vesicle...

Hiss—

A pair of hands stained with blood and mucus stretched out from inside, grabbed both ends of the crack, and tore the entire fleshy vesicle apart forcefully!

Afterwards, a naked human body fell out of the vesicle, and slowly sank to the bottom of the cultivation chamber.

He didn't die, his chest was still heaving powerfully, and he was breathing the oxygen dissolved in the life-vitamin solution...

Perhaps we should give him a name.

Let's call it 'Adam'... In the myths of the old times, the ancestors of human beings were called by this name.
