The first chapter of the book.
It recorded the discovery of the [Destiny Space] and the events related to the initial exploration.
There was also a description of the world.
Han Dong learned that the world after his rebirth was also the earth … … the five continents and the distribution of the world's countries were exactly the same.
And two hundred years before the discovery of the higher life forms, it happened to be the time when the war broke out. Humans were basically equipped with firearms … … but such firearms were simply unable to resist the higher life forms that would go crazy with just one look.
The following was the original text:
"When the expedition team confirmed the existence of 'higher life forms' than humans and began to attack humans, the capitals of the world at the same time opened a kind of space portal to an unknown domain.
Our technological level is still unable to analyze this kind of portal, and we can't even understand the meaning of the portal's existence. I can only use words to describe its basic form.
It has a golden edge, an oval structure like the stars in the night sky, like a star gate that blends multiple dimensions. "
The description of the Destiny Space in the text was not consistent with Han Dong's experience.
Han Dong was standing in the ceremony square at the time, but he didn't see any portal at all, and fell into the ground with thousands of people.
Han Dong continued to read.
"The portal of the Destiny Space will automatically close when it comes in contact with the 'almighty life form'. It only allows humans to enter, it is a door that God opened for humans.
In the beginning, when the global war broke out, a large number of volunteers from all over the world took the initiative to enter the Destiny Space, but almost no one returned.
The first 'returnee' appeared in Kyushu.
There was a sergeant from the Kingdom of Nine Continents. After returning from the infinite space, he had obtained a certain degree of 'body strengthening'. His physical fitness had doubled, and the hardness of his fists had greatly increased. He could not find a match for him among the humans.
From his mouth, for the first time, he spoke about the 'Destiny Points' and related major professions.
Then, 'returnees' began to appear in countries all over the world, each with different abilities, and became the main force to resist the higher life forms.
But it was still difficult to resist. "
When he saw 'Kyushu', Han Dong's heart trembled.
Since Kyushu had a returnee for the first time, to a large extent, it meant that in addition to the Holy City in Europe, there may be similar cities built in Asia.
He continued to read.
On the next page, he saw the current state of the world.
According to incomplete statistics.
Before the humans discovered that the high-purity brass metal could cause higher life forms to have a sense of rejection, thus resisting the crazy invasion of higher life forms and building a metal city-state that could accommodate enough humans.
Only 1% of the humans survived.
At that time, the total population of the world was at its lowest point, with less than 100 million survivors.
If they had not discovered the characteristics of the brass in time, it was very likely that the human race would have been wiped out.
At present, there were only three known 'national city-states' in the world.
Holy City – Neunthena (Eternal City), Coordinates: Italos.
Dragon City — Imperial Capital. Coordinates: Nine States.
Wangdu -Megalanry (City of Machinery), coordinates
The three cities had a common characteristic, and that was that they were all built on a large copper mine, and they were all centered in the Destiny Space.
…
"Is this the 'world pattern'? Now that I think about it, the world I lived in was really peaceful.
Indeed, humans aren't perfect. We're just the first type of intelligent life form that can think and reason … Many biologists have predicted that it's entirely possible for a higher level life form to appear on Earth, one that can adapt to the ecosystem. It's just a matter of time.
This parallel world obviously encountered this situation in advance.
When the apocalypse came, the Destiny Space's strengthening channel became the only 'flame of hope' for mankind … However, the true origin of the Destiny Space was not explained clearly.
This book is very subjective, and the definition of the Destiny Space is based on the author's own subjective speculation. There's no actual evidence, so it's not very useful for reference. "
The book also mentioned the five basic career choices, but for Han Dong, who had already become a 'returnee', this was nothing new.
Han Dong already had a basic understanding of the world's framework, but he still needed to understand the 'higher life forms' in depth. At the same time, he also needed to know the Holy City's management style, class division, and economic system.
"I should be able to know these details when I go to the [National Royal Knight Academy].
As for going out of the city to take a look, I'm afraid I'll have to allocate more than five Destiny Points and become a real knight. Only then can I follow the knights out of the city and officially come into contact with the 'higher life forms'. "
When Han Dong closed the book, he found that Nina was still staring at him with her eyes wide open.
"Finished reading?"
"Yes … Return it to your master, thank you."
"Hehe, what are you thanking me for? I still need to thank you, Big Brother. When you enter the school in a few days, Mom and I will be able to move out of here … "
As she spoke, Nina leaned forward and kissed Han Dong on the side of his face.
Nina suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was not her brother, and for a moment, she was a little embarrassed and blushed.
"I … I'm sorry!"
"It's okay … There's one more thing I want to ask you. Nina, are you a mechanical apprentice?"
"Yes, although I'm only a beginner apprentice, I can eat free lunch on weekdays, but I can't take it back … When I become an adult, I can officially become an official apprentice."
When he heard this, Han Dong could not help but relate to Akaman's experience.
Han Dong reminded her seriously, "If you need any help, remember to tell me."
"Hehe, Master is very good to me, Big Brother, you don't have to worry … When my skills are better, I'll be able to make some steam parts myself, and then I'll be able to greatly increase my survival rate in the Destiny Space."
"Okay."
Suddenly, Nina moved her body and deliberately approached Han Dong. "Big Brother, what did you do 'before'?"
"Teaching, Biology."
"Biology? Wow, that sounds so high-end. "
"Your scientific research here has not been able to develop normally for two hundred years due to various reasons … It's normal that you haven't heard of biology. You should have heard of 'chemistry', right?"
"Chemistry? Big Brother, are you talking about alchemy? "
"Alchemy?"
Han Dong knew very well that alchemy was part of ancient chemistry to a certain extent.
It was mixed with some unrealistic ideas, such as the 'Philosopher's Stone'.
However, in this world with magic and Esper Abilities, alchemy might really be an extremely important branch of science.
"The status of alchemists is one level higher than us mechanics. They are the 'think tank' in the Holy City."
Han Dong wrote down the word 'alchemy' in his notebook.
Han Dong did not want to lose his old profession. While he was going deep into the Destiny Space, he also wanted to join the scientific circle of this world and do some side business.
After all, Han Dong did not have a direct source of income yet.
"If Big Brother is really interested, you can go to the academy and ask … If Big Brother becomes an alchemist, I'll be able to eat roast chicken every day, hehe."
"Yes, I can consider it."
