"What did you say??"
Han ng recovered his senses, imdiately shaking his head. "How is this possible... I know the Lord of the Aurora does not belong to any Divine Pathways, and is an existence independent from all power systems in the world, but he also absolutely cannot be a Fusionist."
"Then that depends on how you define a Fusionist."
Dr. Yi sized up Han ng and Chen Ling behind him with a glance, waving his hand drunkenly. "Forget it... this matter is not considered any secret inside the base. Since our Vice Captain Han ng is curious, I will properly teach you surface people a lesson... follow ."
Carrying the liquor bottle, he walked unsteadily towards the other side of the corridor.
Han ng didn't know what kind of trick this drunkard was exactly playing. Frowning tightly he still followed up, with Chen Ling closely following behind.
"Hello Dr. Yi."
"Good evening Dr. Yi."
"Dr. Yi, over there requires you to take a look when you have ti, sorry for the trouble."
"..."
Dr. Yi's status inside the Aurora Base seed to be extrely high. During this period of passing through the corridor, whoever was a figure draped in a White Coat Wearer would all bow to greet him. A tall female scientific researcher passing by, even directly threw him a flirtatious glance.
"Dr. Yi, where are you going?"
"Just finished an experint, going to vent and relax a bit..." Dr. Yi naturally stretched out his hand, forcefully pinching the female doctor's plump buttocks, grinning as he laughed, "Wear sothing stimulating tonight, don't lock the door ah~"
"Dead ghost." The female doctor didn't expect him to be so bold, daring to get hands-on right in front of others. She glared at him flirtatiously, turning around and leaving.
Han ng behind took everything thoroughly into his eyes, his brows frowning increasingly tighter.
Waiting for the female doctor to walk far, Han ng spoke indifferently, "During working hours there's both alcohol abuse and flirting... Your Aurora Base, truly has a good atmosphere."
"Hehe, thanks for the praise."
"You said the Lord of the Aurora is a Fusionist, then what Calamity did he fuse with?" Han ng asked again. "The Lord of the Aurora is a Rank 9, if he is a Fusionist, then wouldn't his target of Fusion be at least 'World-Ending' grade?"
"Calamity? No no no... what the Lord of the Aurora fused with, is not a 'Calamity' kind of thing."
Dr. Yi pushed open a door at the very edge of the third floor. A long corridor that looked like an art exhibition appeared in front of the two, Chen Ling and Han ng. Under the bright incandescent lights, photographs and manuscript notes were displayed on the two sides one by one, like a historical museum.
Chen Ling's gaze swept past the photos on the wall. Below the photos were the shooting tis of these photos. As they gradually went deeper, the ages of these photos also beca increasingly distant... But what was eerie was, following the distant age, these photos instead beca even clearer, more advanced.
Conversely looking at the photos from the recent two years, they were even all black and white. Within this long corridor, ti and technology were flowing in reverse in a form that had never been envisioned before.
"This is the Aurora Base's archive, however I am more willing to call it the 'Human Extinction Museum'." Dr. Yi spoke unhurriedly. "Here, from the perspective of the Aurora Base, records everything from before the Great Cataclysm until now...
If it's said that history since the birth of humanity, is a number axis growing in the positive direction, then starting from when this thing appeared, this number axis then began to reverse towards the negative direction... and its final endpoint, is the origin, which is 'extinction'."
Dr. Yi's finger, tapped on a photo at the deepest point, subsequently continuing to walk forward unhurriedly,
Chen Ling took a glance over there. On the photo there was a scarlet long trail, like a teor slashing across the sky... This photo was a color photo observed by an astronomical Telescope, and also the photo with the highest technological content over the recent three hundred years.
"And the origin of the Lord of the Aurora, is also it."
Dr. Yi slowly stopped his footsteps. He took down a photo from the wall, passing it into Han ng's hands.
Han ng lowered his head to look. In the photo, there were nine figures wearing protective suits. They held different exploration instrunts, standing in front of a military off-road vehicle, holding a map seeming to be currently comparing sothing, their expressions incomparably serious.
"What is this?"
"Before the Great Cataclysm, on August 8, 2024 AD, a scarlet teor slashed across the earth's sky." Dr. Yi's voice rang out calmly. "According to calculations, that teor's orbit existed an impact risk with the earth. So after human higher-ups passed a resolution, they decided to deploy Nuclear Weapons to intervene with the teor's trajectory...
That day, humanity launched large-yield Nuclear Weapons towards the teor. The shockwaves produced by the explosion caused the teor's orbit to produce a minute deflection, thereby missing the earth. But at the sa ti, a fragnt of the teor deviated from its orbit, plumting into the atmosphere.
This fragnt ultimately fell into a certain country's territory. Subsequently the officials gathered nine young scientists who were the outstanding talents in various fields at the first notice, conducting exploration and recovery towards the fallen Red Star Fragnt..."
Dr. Yi paused for a mont,
"But ten minutes after they began the exploration mission, they collectively lost contact."
"By the ti the rescue team found them, the nine of them were currently in nine entirely different eerie postures, surrounding an empty teorite Crater, just like sculptures, but the people had already thoroughly lost consciousness.
At that ti all modern equipnt within a ten kiloter radius failed. It is said that among the rescue team present at the ti, soone attempted to use a film cara to capture this scene. It was only when they went back to develop the photos after shooting did they discover, everyone in the rescue team existed in the photo, only the nine of them alone were unable to be imaged... only leaving behind nine lumps of mysterious white shadows."
Hearing this, Han ng couldn't resist asking, "You're saying, the Lord of the Aurora is precisely one of these nine scientists?"
"Correct." Dr. Yi picked up that pre-departure photo in his hand, his fingertip pointing towards a tall and thin man in the corner. "He is the Lord of the Aurora."
"And then?"
"At the ti this matter didn't obtain too much attention, only thinking it was the special magnetic field of that Red Star Fragnt causing the equipnt to fail. The nine young scientists also returned to their respective work units to continue working, not perceiving any abnormalities in their bodies... But since the day The Red Star slashed past, human technology began to regress bit by bit, and within a short year world wars broke out.
In that chaotic war sweeping the world, the Lord of the Aurora was caught in the blast of a nuclear explosion, and along with an entire surrounding city was turned into flying ash, tens of millions of lives instantly evaporating.
In that explosion, intense auroras enveloped above the ruins, not dissipating for three days and three nights... By the ti the aftermath of the nuclear explosion dissipated, a white-haired figure walked out from the auroras filling the sky. It was also starting from that ti, that the Lord of the Aurora only then beca the Lord of the Aurora..."
"So, the regression of technology was very possibly caused by that fallen Red Star Fragnt?"
"Hard to say, but right now the majority of scholars believe, that The Red Star's main body is the true culprit that caused all of this, the fragnt was just an accident... After all, the fragnt's volu isn't even one ten-thousandth of the true Red Star."
"But having said so much, you still haven't explained clearly why the Lord of the Aurora is a Fusionist... What exactly did he fuse with back then?"
Dr. Yi's drunken face beca rarely serious. He looked at Han ng's eyes, speaking word by word:
"What he fused with, was the scientific research inference he spent his entire life studying and exploring... which is 'Magnetic Field Theory'."
