Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

"No, just black out the sensitive content, De Zhiyuan is obviously just two names, one country name, one leader, is it necessary to block it?"

Obviously, in the world line of the archives, the world war still happened, and then these two as vanquished, their names have become taboo-like existences. "

"Well, I mean, if things hadn't gotten so extreme, a world without anomalies...... Sounds like a good deal?"

"Theoretically, this is natural, but who should define the line between extreme and non-extreme?

In the midst of the audience's discussion, new lines of text replaced the old ones.

[This file records interviews with Foundation members of EX864F--033 Worldline.] 】

[Interviews conducted with both O5-7 and EX864F- -033 Worldline Foundation members [REDACTED]. 】

After a few moments, the black background and white text quietly disappeared, replaced by video materials similar to those of the previous video.

It's just that.

Unlike Dezhi, who rules everything, the Foundation suppresses all anomalous worlds.

The conference room in the picture is much brighter in color, and the style is also biased towards the interstellar era.

The colors are simple and the lines are soft.

Standing in front of the camera, they are no longer fanatics and orators like before.

Rather, it is a researcher in a white lab coat with part of his body mechanized.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, doctor. O5-7 smiled.

Compared to O5-7's calm and breezy attitude, the doctor in the future seems to be extremely excited.

His eyes widened like two giant light bulbs:

"Oh, I didn't expect O5-7 in '29 to be you!"

"It was a real pleasure to talk to Professor Fermi!"

There's a reason why the Doctor is so enthusiastic.

Enrik Fermi, the birth name of O5-7.

This name may be a little unfamiliar to most people.

As a matter of fact.

The name corresponds to a person who participated in and led a project.

A grand plan that has a profound impact on the pattern of human culture, and even on the whole of history.

- The Manhattan Project.

O5-7 was frightened by the enthusiasm of the other side.

He felt that he was not facing a Ph.D. from the Foundation, nor a scholar who had dedicated his life to scientific research.

Instead, it's like meeting an avid fan of an idol.

But such doubts did not last long.

In the future, scholars who will leave a name for the entire history of mankind will soon put together the various manifestations of each other:

Another foundation is in the future;

The other party didn't know his information in advance, but at the moment of meeting, he called out his real name;

And extremely excited.

The results are clear.

In the future, I must have made quite important contributions in the field of scientific research, even milestone-level achievements, so that I can stand out from this era of bright stars and be remembered by future generations.

This is naturally good news.

However, O5-7 has yet to do so, believing that they cannot afford such fanatical staring and being treated as an idolatrous.

"Excuse me from the pleasantries," he said, waving his hand.

"I've heard that you're trying to give us some information about Containment Item-Laplace? I don't know if you've looked into it, it's-"

The doctor raised his hand, interrupting O5-7.

"If you want to know what happened in '48, I can tell you later. "

His expression was serious: "Professor, I have something more important to tell. "

"Please. "

The doctor raised his right hand and summoned a virtual screen.

"It's not a secret...... I'm the head of the Foundation's choking program in our universe. "

As he spoke, the screen flew in front of the camera, and lines of text appeared.

"Maybe you haven't heard of this plan. Let me give you a brief look at the report. "

O5-7 lamented that futuristic technology was magic, and turned his attention to the Screaming Project files.

It's just that.

The moment he saw the document, he suspected that the communication signal had been disturbed in some way, or that he had a disease in the brain area that processes words and logical thinking.

"This is?!"

The doctor could hear it clearly, and there was surprise, confusion, and a bit of "You're kidding me?"

Only there is no seriousness and seriousness.

He frowned, waved a new screen in front of him, and then froze.

As I saw it, the document said:

[Containment: 2300]

[Item No: Containment-C-1000]

[Hazard level: N/A.]

【Project Description:】

[The following requires Level 5/C-1000 clearance.] 】

[Any unauthorized access is to be considered a containment breach.] 】

You will be summarily terminated, regardless of your basic authority. 】

[Okay, you see this.] 】

[That...... Fuck the Foundation. 】

[I don't know how long this document will last.] The previous permissions and the like were made up by the stuff so that overly cautious Level 5 personnel and low-level employees would try not to look down. 】

[I'm putting this document in the database of Division C...... The same is true for this purpose. 】

[If you see it, then you are probably an AIC or a curious baby. 】

[Fuck, I really don't know if I've found something I shouldn't see...... Fuck, I don't understand. 】

【......】

The contents of the file flashed by, and nothing else was revealed.

But.

The small episode, like a thunderclap on the ground, suddenly aroused the audience's desire to discuss.

"Huh? What is this? Funny containment, or Funny Foundation document?"

"Regardless of what happened to this staffer, he earned my respect...... Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or do you want to be a hero for once, even if it's just for a few minutes?"

"I think you're all wrong, what does the real file of Containment-C-1000 look like, and why would this engineer risk being terminated by the Foundation?"

"Could it be that even in the future at this point in time when the archives are located, there is a possibility that an entire civilization will topple? And then the engineer saw something and then collapsed?"

......

"Ahem......" Dr. Doctor looked a little embarrassed.

He gestured for O5-7 to wait a moment, then turned off the microphone.

Then, O5-7 could only see the Doctor snarling at something.

After a while, the doctor turned the microphone back on:

"Sorry, something went wrong. "

"An engineer from Sector C changed the cover page of our hide page and grumbled a little bit on it. "

Apparently, he thought the C-1000 was really an empty page. ISD is already dealing with this. "

"No, don't worry, it's just amnestics. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Looking at O5-7's suspicious face, the disbelief written in his eyes, the doctor could only whitewash the end of that guy as much as possible.

Exactly how the Foundation will punish those who make mistakes, the O5 Councillor with the number 7 is obviously much more aware than he does.

"Sorry for making you laugh...... You know, even in our time, there's a lot of work that has to be done by manpower. "

"Manpower...... People always have their own thoughts, and when they don't know what they're facing, they always think more, uh, and some do superfluous things. "

"Alright, now let's get down to business...... I've transferred the complete files over including the parts that are very problematic. "

The doctor cleared his throat and began to outline the general contents of C-1000.

"In at least 58% of the timeline we have observed, there will be a disruptive catastrophe in the year 2300. "

"To put it simply, around the year 2300, anomalies will attack all places where humans live on a large scale. "

"Whether humanity is on Earth or in space at this time, this catastrophe will come as scheduled. "

“...... Thank you for informing me about this. O5-7 nodded. []

"But I want to know, what do you want me to do when you tell me this?"

The other party exists in the future world line, and it will definitely be far ahead in the research of containment objects and the research of basic disciplines.

O5-7 didn't know why they were mentioning their situation for a moment.

It's impossible to start preparing for an anomalous catastrophe that may come in 2300 from now, right?

The time span is too large.

The Foundation and the Insurgency can only prioritize the cataclysm that will engulf the entire civilization in the near future.

But as soon as the Doctor spoke, O5-7 was completely shaken.

"I hope you do what we do...... In our world, the Foundation has failed. "

"There are hundreds of timelines that have also failed, but I think it's too late. As long as there is a glimmer of life, we will not give up. "

O5-7 took a deep breath and took the freshly printed C-1000 file from his assistant's hand.

"I'll look into the report. "

"And I want to ask—because this matter is more pressing for us—what has happened in your history in 48 years?"

"48 years...... Nothing happened. "

"What...... None of them?"

O5-7 furrowed his eyebrows, incredulous.

Could it be that morality and morality still have yuan, and the world war they set off, is it just a coincidence and coincidence?

"The same cannot be said. The doctor pursed his lips and pinched his chin, as if pondering how to explain.

After a moment, he looked up:

"That year, one of our containment items was independently discovered by a number of countries and then made public. "

"Because it's an act of the state, it's hard for us to stop it, so ...... We took a different approach and put it into the normalcy file and enabled the snortive protocol. "

"It's one of the few utter failures in the history of the Foundation. "

O5-7: "So normalcy has been completely changed?"

"Yes. The doctor sighed.

"The Destructive Power of Anomalous Technology – Thaumaturgy, Narrative Methodology...... Their destructive power is enormous. "

"So much so that even the slightest spread of anomalous effects will turn the entire world upside down, leaving everyone in fear of being threatened by anomalies at any time. "

"We didn't succeed in keeping normalcy. "

What?!

Does it have to be a helium flash in the sun, an explosion on a planet, or an asteroid hitting the Earth to make up for what happened?

The anomaly has completely changed human society, and nothing has happened?

O5-7 felt like he had heard some ridiculous joke.

But out of the most basic literacy and etiquette, he restrained his expression and quickly sorted out his language:

"Uh, then why did you say nothing happened?"

"Changed ......" Dr. shook his head, spread his hands, and shrugged helplessly.

"What can we do? We can't do anything about 573, we can only acquiesce to it becoming the new normal. "

In the light screen, the two people who were talking across time and space fell silent.

O5-7 lowered his head and stared fixedly at the containment file in his hand.

- He knew that he actually had the same thoughts in his heart, but he still preferred to trust the Foundation and his colleagues in the O5 Council.

In this silent and long gaze, he seemed to see the abnormal flames begin to rise, licking the fragile curtain, burning it all, and suddenly turning into a sea of surging waves, submerging the world.

"Normal...... Abnormal ...... ...... New Normal"

The call ended, but O5-7 paused for a long time with his eyes closed.

He felt like he was at a fork in the road of fate.

The fate of the Insurgency, the fate of the Foundation, and even the fate of the entire human civilization will all run in a certain direction after he makes a choice.

Maybe it's a new birth for humanity.

It could also be a sunset for humanity.

[The following is an encrypted audio signal received by the Project Atita team, from the MK264B--215 timeline.] 】

[Based on its contents, it is inferred that this audio signal may have been sent from the Insurgency in a parallel world;]

[The Insurgency may have broken with the Foundation once and for all during one event, and changed its name to the "Chaos Insurgency."] 】

......

[Okay...... Can be sent. 】

[I am Adrian Christensen, a member of the Chaos Insurgency and the current Chief Engineer of Delta Command.] Our informants in the Foundation have intercepted your telegrams. 】

[I don't know if you've broken with those Foundation bastards now, but listen to me......]

[Although I know it sounds ridiculous, nothing has happened in 48 years.] 】

[Everything is normal, none of the anomalous events you've heard from other timelines have happened.] 】

Is this what you want to see? Don't let them do anything. 】

[That's a trap.] Don't jump in. 】

[Don't let the Foundation, or anyone else, control the fate of all mankind.] Leave some uncertainty of development for humanity, please. 】

[When the fate of mankind is determined, its tricks will succeed. 】

[Your mission is not just to protect humanity for 48 years. After 48 years, there are 60 years, 92 years, 20 years, and 2,300 years that destroyed 58% of humanity in the timeline. 】

It will not give up on making a comeback, and you must learn to defend the power that holds your destiny in your own hands - uncertainty. 】

[We are too late, you still have a chance. 】。
