Depth into Attic Novel

Story behind the Atticverse

A deeper view of the Atticverse 2222

The world is now divided into four continents. For a century and a half, disasters and wars have completely changed the original face of the world.
A century and a half ago, exactly 150 years ago, there was still the word "state" in the world. Later, experts were generally dismissive of the term "state", believing that the existence of states was the rhetoric of a small group of people who enslaved and controlled the majority of the population, but soon, this saying was also disproved.
The world has evolved over the past two centuries, and to this day, the four major continents still exist as "states," except that the major cities of the East and West Continents have relatively more complete sovereignty. On the surface, this seems to eliminate what experts called the "slavery control", but in fact, slavery and oppression still exist in major cities like Avalon, and are even more rampant.

When did the war, which lasted for nearly two centuries, begin?

According to sources, at the end of 2071, a message suddenly exploded on the social media of the Asian cultural circle at that time: the earth was about to be destroyed and the human race was about to become extinct.
The original version of this news was an article called the "End of Days", which did not have any evidence or explanation, nor did it cite any scientific data, but just listed nearly a hundred future disasters that would happen on earth within a year in an expansive style.
No one wanted to believe these " bullshit ", but now it seems that people at that time were just trying to escape.
The following are mentioned in "End of Days" as leading to massive changes in the world.
1. The near-Earth planet Mars will explode (or be destroyed by alien life), which will substantially affect the Earth's climate and geographical conditions.
2. Unspecified attacks on the nuclear weapons storage sites of the Western powers, leading to an increase in the movement of the Earth's plates.
3. Religion will once again become the key presence that dominates all activities in the human world.

NEXT?

First of all, astronomers at the time simply did not observe any astronomical data about the calamity of Mars, the scarlet planet, which was incomparably stable, floated quietly in the universe as the future home of mankind.
Secondly, the wording and expressions in the "End of Days" were not supported by any scientific basis or data, but more like the imagination of a middle school student.
Third, the Earth already had a perfect self-defense system, a project decided and implemented by the world powers at that time, which consisted of two parts: the construction of a large number of space stations in near-Earth space to intercept meteors that might strike the Earth in the future, and the installation of a propulsion system "Kuafu" inside the Earth, which could artificially change the Earth's gravity to push the Earth in a predetermined direction.
These known conditions were foolproof in anyone's opinion, so people were preparing to celebrate New Year's Day with great enthusiasm.
It was only when Mars suddenly did explode on New Year's Day, as predicted, that people began to panic.
At first, the sky of the Western Continent suddenly became red in the daytime, and by the time the human beings who were immersed in the festive atmosphere came back to their senses, the debris from the explosion of Mars had already struck the Earth, and the space station was able to launch an emergency capture operation and turn on the propulsion system to prevent the Earth from turning into a sea of fire.
The meteors that flew towards the Earth after the explosion of Mars were intercepted and smashed by the space stations, turning into a red blood mist in the space tens of thousands of miles away.
In a poem titled "Death of Mars" at the time, it was written, "His crimson blood drifts like a poisonous mist to mankind; how can you and I escape our destiny when the sharp blade is at the throat of the earth?"
Gradually people began to panic, a vague panic that reached its peak when news emerged that a Western power was attempting to send nuclear weapons into space.
Demonstrations began around the globe, and the common demand was for their own country to step in and stop the actions. But the conditions at the time were such that there was nothing wrong with the country's actions, so the country was asked to spend heavily to equip the rockets carrying nuclear weapons with protection systems.
Therefore, in the midst of hesitation, the country's ten nuclear weapons were sent into space one after another.
When the last nuclear weapon was sent into space, an accident occurred, however, after the explosion of that nuclear weapon, due to the pre-installed protection system, the Earth was not completely destroyed as predicted. But the explosion of a series of byproducts still affected the Earth. Originally, after the explosion of Mars, in order to prevent the Earth's gravitational shifts and fall into the Sun, the immature "Kuafu" system was turned on so as to reverse the Earth, which was already suspected of causing the Earth's plate movement, and as soon as the explosion of the nuclear weapon happened, the Earth's plate movement intensified, and the global plate migration occurred to varying degrees.
The two successive catastrophes made the Earth shake and almost break apart, which led to the formation of the four major continents today.
Thankfully, however, no evidence of "alien life destroying Mars" or "unspecified attacks on nuclear bombs" as described in the "End of Days" was observed, and all the evidence that existed at the time pointed to chance.
The legend that "the Earth is about to be destroyed and the human race is about to become extinct", which was spread by word of mouth on social media, did not come true either.
Many organizations turned to the search for the author of the "End of Days", but after decades, even centuries of searching, all to no avail, the author of the original article was also nowhere to be found, the article appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, and the incident haunted the human world for many years, which then gradually evolved into one of the reasons why religion has re-emerged on the stage of history.
This was followed by the climate change. The dramatic climate change has caused decades of almost no global food harvest. In the period before the emergence of new industrial food production and new agriculture, that is, in the twenty years from 2100 to 2120, during which, to clean up the aftermath of the disaster on the one hand, and to deal with the survival of the global population on the other. For a while, the Earth became a purgatory, many countries also began to disintegrate from that time.
Like the "End of Days" said, religion has once again taken the stage of history and turned into a spiritual pillar for people.

In the century that followed, human civilization survived the faltering. In the continuous changes, science and technology were again developed, and so gradually formed the world today.
