Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

On a snowy night when the world is on the verge of collapse, two young girls in their prime hide in an abandoned building and recall ancient nursery rhymes.

The flames flickered, and the two fell asleep quietly.

But the warmer the flames, the more the hearts of the audience felt the ice and cold.

"It's a desperate world. "

"Is red returning? In the midst of the redness, the universe is ushering in its own endgame, and it seems to be good?"

"So, until now, we don't know why there is an end times......"

Rather, it is the minority who can figure out why the end has come...... When the end begins, people have to do their best to survive. "

"My question is the same as Alice's - why didn't the Foundation activate Containment-2000, and since the end has come, it just needs to restart the world?"

"Uh...... Is it possible that the séance can only restart the Earth, and this catastrophe is the whole universe?"

......

Bai Xuan and his party continued along the path, passing through the stone path covered with the roots of the Jianmu, and then through the corridor filled with the branches of the Jianmu, and finally arrived at the border of the Danding Division.

It's different from the closed doors of the Industrial Construction Division.

The entrance of the Danding Division was now open, and the original gate had been reduced to a pile of broken fragments marked by the explosion, which clearly showed that something had happened here.

The wind whistled slightly, the ancient masonry was marked with blood, and in the depths of the unknown situation, a vague smell of blood wafted in the wind.

This is not the case.

"Proceed with caution. Walter Young reminded.

March Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, the ice bow was already in his hand, staring vigilantly ahead.

"Star" summons the flame spear with his backhand, ready to unleash a powerful blast at any moment.

Bai Xuan was unmoved, silent as a mountain.

As for Zhuyun, she quietly put away the folding fan, wagged her tail, tightly grasped the corner of Bai Xuan's black robe, and followed step by step, just one step of dislocation was needed to press her entire body.

Everyone cautiously walked towards the Danding Division, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and when they crossed the threshold, a tragic scene appeared.

What emerges from the public is a square that has been badly eroded by the timber, and the walls and corridors are full of roots and branches that have penetrated through the walls.

But it's nothing.

What is truly thrilling is the traces left by the fighting.

The floor, walls, and timber sections15 were covered with deep knife marks, and the craters left by the violent explosion were everywhere.

Countless soldiers who have fallen into the shadow of the devil are here, and they, and the people who made them into this abomination, are like the soldiers who guard the queen.

And their enemies are the bravest warriors in this galaxy, compatriots who have been of their kind.

It's just that the other party is not holding a solar tomahawk, and they haven't escaped into the shadows.

This is but a microcosm of the turmoil.

In the more far-reaching places of the Danding Division, there must be a more tragic showdown.

March 7 looked around, and after making sure that there were no survivors, he waved his hand and dispersed the ice bow:

"It's a fierce battle. "

On these corpses, she didn't feel any life, and even if she had the heart to rescue, she had nowhere to do it.

Xue Yun: "It seems that when we were delayed in the Industrial Construction Division, Lord Taibu had already set out for the expedition first. "

"Xing" waved his hand: "How can Taibu obediently listen to others?"

Bai Xuan squatted in front of a cloud rider, and after making sure that the other party's soul had drifted to the realm of the three dead brothers, he got up and looked deeper into the Danding Division:

"The soldiers are fast, and the most important thing for Luofu Xianzhou at the moment is to contain the star nuclear catastrophe. "

"Since the general gave the military power to Taibu, he must have calculated that Taibu would act in accordance with the results of the divination. "

"Fortunately, the general didn't let us follow the cloud cavalry......" March Seven had palpitations.

"Fighting a war is really different from taking risks, people all over the ground...... I—I can't see such a big scene. "

Watching the two sides kill from a distance is completely different from the feeling of being there.

Just the murderous aura remaining on the battlefield and the strong smell of blood made March Qi feel a little uncomfortable.

There is both psychology and life.

She leaned on Bai Xuan's shoulder for a while, and then she eased up.

Xue Yun stepped forward and comforted:

"Engong said seriously, this kind of scene is really common in the eyes of our immortal species. "

"Back then, hundreds of years ago, in order to seize Jianmu, the Rich Commander led a large army to overwhelm Luofu, almost destroying half of the Cave Heaven World, making the Cloud Cavalry Army not one out of ten. "

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it happened yesterday. "

"Compared to the catastrophe, all of this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. "

March Qi raised his eyebrows: "Wow, how can you be so comforting!"

Automatically ignoring the communication of the young people, Walter Young was thinking about the direction of the whole situation.

"I don't know if Taibu will win or lose this battle. "

"Star": "It must be a big victory!"

March 7 agreed: "I think so. There are few cloud cavalry troops that have fallen, and this battle of Xianzhou should be fought beautifully. "

"Not necessarily. Walter shook his head.

"If the march is successful, it is common to leave strongholds and troops behind. But not here. "

"Look around, maybe there's a clue. "

What the......

Alice looked at the text on the screen, a little confused, but did as she could.

Unsurprisingly, nothing happened.

Wait...... Well, or nothing happened.

"What the hell is this directive for?"

Hearing the complaint, Christina smiled:

"Why don't you just ignore it?"

"Oh, no. Alice shook her head.

"Outland survival is the science of believing—believing in certain materials and information that can be trusted, so that you will not die without a place to be buried. "

"As for this...... Since it's harmless, it's nothing to execute. What if it helps?"

Christina laughed twice and didn't answer.

Alice opened her personal terminal again, switched it to navigation mode, and calibrated the current coordinate position.

"We're almost there. "

"The station ahead is the clearest and most complete signal I've ever captured. "

"It was Site-19, one of the Foundation's most important sites prior to the Great Fading Era. "

"We should be able to get some information out of it – and it would be nice to meet one or two living people who know about it. "

......

"If I'm not mistaken, the number of survivors was still 100 million not long ago, and how long has it been since there were only more than 80 million left?"

"It's not surprising, the time density of this world is uneven, and the ghost knows when these 80 million data was counted, maybe at this moment, these two people are still alive in the world. "

"The Girl's Final Journey...... That's right. Then I have a question for you, who sent this message?"

"A ghost, a ghost that wanders the earth. "

"This situation is actually nothing difficult to understand, just replace the characters and scenes in it with interstellar backgrounds, and when there is no jump technology, information exchange and information transmission are not the same as them. "

"Inside the cone of light is fate. "

"Oh, that's easy. "

......

Site-19。

As the authentication passed, the heavy gate slowly rose.

A messy scene came into view, with lifeless husks scattered across the ground.

Alice suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, passed through the curfew, and entered it.

Christina followed.

The hum of fans and the ear of electric sparks mingled and echoed through the empty corridor.

Eerie, desolate.

Alice inhaled sharply and shouted in front of her, "Hello?"

Her voice is very good, and even after years of purification, she has not lost the unique feeling that belongs to a girl.

Kind, naïve......

If the world is in order, such a sound is enough to prevent possible malice from germinating.

But at this moment.

The beautiful sound echoed in the air, gradually distorted. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And there was no response.

Silence fell again, and only her call turned into a long echo, lingering in the reinforced concrete space.

Undeterred, Alice walked in the direction of the most dense sounds, eventually arriving in a room full of equipment.

Several storage facilities flickered with faint but regular signal lights, as if to speak of their unextinguished vitality.

She tried again to break the oppressive silence: "Is there anyone alive—"

What awaited her was the hollow echo and the constant silence.

Alice sighed.

She took her personal terminal off her waist, connected to the storage devices, verified permissions, and began searching for information related to the Black Hole Furnace.

[-[DATA CORRUPTED] Minutes of the Overseer Meeting-]

[Speaker: O5-1]

[The effects of Containment-001 intensify.] I think it's time and we're going to have to unmask. 】

[Speaker: O5-7]

[I agree.] But that's not all. Containment-001 brings not only the destruction of color, but also the complete collapse of the framework of reality. If we can't solve this problem, then unmasking will only be a temporary solution. 】

[Speaker: O5-1]

[I understand this, but ...... The collapse of reality on a cosmic scale, we never had a plan to deal with it. The reality anchor has been studied to the end and has entered a technical bottleneck. Do we have any other options?]

[Speaker: O5-7]

[Yes, naturally there is. That's why I'm the one who's convening this meeting, not you. 】

[Speaker: O5-7]

[Do you remember the final containment proposal that you terminated twenty years ago?]

[Speaker: O5-11]

[Final Containment?]

[Speaker: O5-5]

[This is so ridiculous, we stopped this plan at the time because-]

[Speaker: O5-7]

[Manipulating a living paradox can damage the framework of reality and bring unpredictable consequences, yes.] But guys, what kind of situation are we in now?]

[Speaker: O5-7]

[It seems that you don't have any objections.] Let's start voting. 】

......

"Yes, Containment-001...... That's a heavyweight number. "

"So, what exactly is 001? The Foundation has not disclosed 001's archives so far, and even in large games, 001 has a large number of file contents with the same number. "

"It's very simple...... The Foundation does not intend to release the 001 files, and the existing 001 files are merely a stand-in to cover up and hide the real 001. "

"Don't you care about what is called the paradox of being alive?"

"There are so many things to care about, too many new things to pay attention to, I can't pay attention to them, I can't think about them...... I haven't figured out why traveling through time at different densities will make the past catch up with the ......."

......

[Addendum 1: Researcher Kasmer's proposal, 11/12/1975]

[As we all know, Foundation containment has always been a compromise.] 】

[We are afraid that if they are destroyed or executed, some strange changes will occur, and some things that are instinctively under control will become out of control. 】

[But what if there was a way to terminate the target without side effects, even as if it had never been born in this world?]

[This method is ultimate containment.] 】503

[[DATA CORRUPTED]]

[[DATA CORRUPTED]]

......

[Speaker: O5-1]

【...... So, Seven, let's reiterate the concept of ultimate containment. I remember that at the time, the lead researcher who proposed this proposal was you who hadn't become an O5 yet, right?]

[Speaker: O5-7]

[Nature. But this time, I'm completely out of the guise of normalcy for the sake of the Foundation and the world at large, and I'm not selfish. 】

[Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic surveillance hypothesis.] 】

[Its core idea is that the laws of the universe prohibit us from seeing any singularity directly, because there will always be an event horizon from a black hole that obscures it.] 】

[He believes that this law is a prerequisite for the existence of the structure of space-time, and we have been verifying this for many years.] 】

[So, what if we break this law?]

......

[Addendum 2: Researcher Kasmer's proposal, 23/10/1976]

[This is still a proposal for ultimate containment.] 】

[I understand that in the last proposal, I didn't show enough evidence of feasibility, so I did more in-depth investigation.] 】

[To accomplish our ends, we must use nature's most terrifying celestial body, the singularity. 】

[The Big Bang, time and space were born out of a singularity, and we need to reproduce this process in order to achieve ultimate containment.] 】

However, the singularity cannot be created directly. Can only be forged. 】

[[DATA CORRUPTED]]

[[DATA CORRUPTED]]

......

[Speaker: O5-7]

To do this, we first need to create a black hole. 】

Christina: "Is that all?"

"That's all. Alice sighed.

It's a lot to see that......

Fortunately, before the complete destruction of the Foundation, the authority of all those who can access the system was raised to the highest level......

Otherwise, you won't even be able to see this bit of information.

"Strange stuff. Christina crossed her hip with one hand and scratched her head with the other, "Can you tell anything from this?"

Alice pondered for a moment, combing through the slightly bulky information before converging it into a few short sentences.

"The former leaders of the Foundation wanted to create a singularity and use it for ultimate containment, so that the Great Fade and its effects never existed......"

"That's all there is to it. "

She shrugged, a little helpless.

Site-19, on which she had pinned her best hopes, was left in shambles, with all containments free, and all personnel holding their posts until the very end.

What more could she ask for?

What more could she ask for?

Alice shook her head, put the terminal away, looked at Christina, and said the same sentence over and over again:

"Maybe when you get to Yellowstone, everything will be clear. "

Lu Zi hasn't written yet.
