Foreword: The Star is Coming
Time is like water, flowing from this end to that end, irreversible and unable to flow backwards.
Although a great scientist once said "speed exceeds light speed, time can flow backwards", it's extremely difficult! The great villain "Chen Zhen" also said "the world's martial arts, only speed is invincible". Indeed! Even if one cultivates to superluminal speeds, it's unheard of. Not to mention humans, even the golden birds and jade rabbits in heaven, or the brilliant stars, wouldn't dare claim to break through light speed.
So, until now, up to today, no one has ever heard of any great master conducting such a scientific experiment to verify whether Einstein's assertion is true or not.
However, this idea is not entirely unfounded. Because people who do things at a fast pace are always able to accomplish more in the same amount of time. Their life cultivation may be "faster" than others. A small portion of them, a tiny fraction of the elite, have indeed cultivated themselves to a realm as swift as light. For example, the great military strategist Bai Qi. The ruthless General Wu Anjun never suffered defeat in his lifetime, and his grasp of war situations was incredibly accurate, even surpassing that of the entire German general staff. His intuition on the battlefield played a crucial role, exceeding that of the entire German army. He fought over a hundred battles, with countless classics among them. He could predict the enemy's moves, adapt to changing circumstances, and his tactics were endless and unpredictable, like a god. He killed over a million enemies, and during the entire Warring States period, the number of soldiers who died in battle was only around two million, while Bai Qi's achievements...
It occupies nearly two-fifths of it, and the name of War God is indeed deserved.
But time is merciless to human beings. No matter if you have moved mountains and seas, no matter if you have created a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, time treats everyone equally.
The military god Bai Qi, who had killed over a million people, also found it difficult to break the curse of time.
A wisp of military soul floats down to the mortal world.
Soldiers are really useful in human society, because the days when humans didn't fight wars are few and far between. Even during so-called periods of peace, it's just a preparation for the next war. Once preparations are complete, they immediately start fighting. They only stop when they're tired, exhausted, or one side is defeated. Bai Qi, as a master of annihilation warfare, has a deep understanding of war. However, his experience was built on the foundation of the early Cold Arms era. At that time, the Warring States were in turmoil, and every country was at war. Every person was born for battle. The methods and tactics of warfare changed daily, developing rapidly and advancing by leaps and bounds. It can be said that famous generals emerged one after another, and a hundred schools of thought contended. Bai Qi achieved a hundred victories in a hundred battles and became famous for the "Battle of Longping". He killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers in one move, which was unprecedented and unlikely to be seen again! Even Genghis Khan, who killed more people, although he often massacred cities, did not achieve such a large-scale annihilation war.
Four hundred thousand surrendered soldiers harbored resentment that reached the heavens, and even though Bai Qi killed himself to atone for his crimes, it was still not enough. For several thousand years, through wind and rain, Bai Qi served as an ox and a horse, suffering the utmost humiliation. Finally, he was able to return to the world of humans.
In the year 3011, a heavy rain poured down, darkening the sky and obscuring the sun and moon.
Rainwater mixed with mud and sand, rushing down from high places, the water flow is getting bigger and bigger, and the mud and sand are also getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, huge rocks with a diameter of 5-6 meters and weighing tens of tons joined the ranks of small stones! Wherever it passes, nothing remains, in the face of nature, human civilization is so fragile.
For a better life, to satisfy the ever-growing needs. Human destruction of the natural environment is getting deeper and deeper, human brothers and sisters are becoming extinct one after another, forever leaving us behind. The varieties of crops that sustain our lives are dwindling, thousands of wheat species have become extinct, and more forests are being cut down.
Mudslides and floods are frequent and getting worse. Protecting the environment can't wait!
"Accept this punishment, ignorant humanity!" A soul that has been tempered for a thousand years sighed. This soul was Bai Qi. For thousands of years, Bai Qi, a great general with profound insight, strong will and bold decision-making, had witnessed the storms of human society and had a deep understanding of it.
For years, he has been thinking: where will humanity go? Will it gradually disappear like the previous civilizations, or will it be transformed in a world turned upside down, becoming yesterday's yellow flower.
Bai Qi has been searching for an answer, always expecting to be reincarnated as a human being, so that he can teach humans to be grateful to Mother Earth and stop the endless development of individuals, which has already weakened the earth's nerves and gradually worsened the living environment of future generations. Unfortunately, opportunities are rare, so he continues to wait.
The disaster buried a small village, and Bai Qi had no chance to save anyone. He now stands at the top of the mountain, grateful to have narrowly escaped.
The cold wind was blowing, drying his hot tears. Bai Qi gritted his teeth and secretly vowed: "One day, I will change all this. Let the green trees stand on the hills, let the rivers no longer roar. Let the beasts and birds be able to live in peace, let the flowers and trees be able to breathe, let the people be able to live in peace and happiness, let the various ethnic groups no longer attack each other, let the earth's home be filled with harmony everywhere.
Bai Qi has great ambitions and beautiful dreams.
On this day, he was very lucky. He witnessed all the old and young masters of the village being buried alive in an instant. And he himself accidentally escaped danger because of chasing a fox. Because the fur color of that fox was familiar, it looked like the white fox that gnawed on a wounded soldier of Zhao's army under the moonlight during the Changping War. Bai Qi could not tolerate the warriors who fought bloody battles being insulted in this way, even if that Zhao soldier was already dying, even if his moaning voice was barely audible, even if he was an enemy. So Bai Qi rode his horse to kill the white fox, and the white fox ran away. At that time, his guards did not understand why the general, who had always been calm, would lose his composure like this, but no one dared to ask, because the 400,000 Zhao soldiers had just been buried. They knew the general's mood was very heavy. But they never thought that the heaviness in Bai Qi's heart existed for thousands of years.
Then he saw the white fox and got very angry, so he chased after it, unexpectedly picking up a life!
He is still a nine-year-old boy, but he has the vicissitudes of several thousand years. The nine-year-old boy Bai Qi found a bluestone slab and used all his strength to set it up. Then he picked up some small stones and surrounded them with a heap centered on the stone slab. He bit his finger and wrote three big characters on the stone slab, "Shanyang Village". Pre-Qin font, strong and powerful!
A drop of hot tears fell on this land. Kneeling heavily on the ground, after three loud knocks, Bai Qi got up and left with big strides without looking back.
At this point, he had walked to the age of 36 in his life. He was already a captain at the age of over thirty. Of course, it wasn't an ocean-going ship, but a million-ton star-class transport vessel! Since the disaster when he was nine years old, Bai Qi had been convinced of one belief: only science and technology is humanity's strongest resistance! So he worked hard to learn scientific knowledge, and then rose rapidly every day. However, he still couldn't keep up, because he was too complicated, with too many things in his mind. So he began to study management knowledge. This was something he was good at, as he had a deep understanding of human nature, so he began to swim like a fish. Finally, he became the captain of the transport vessel.
He and his four hundred crew members shared the same joys and sorrows, becoming inseparable. He even took them to play war games together, and the energetic young men were always enthusiastic about it, playing with great enthusiasm, but every time they played team games, they couldn't beat their captain. Every time they analyzed the reasons and asked Bai Qi, Bai Qi just smiled and didn't answer. Modern warfare was distant and unfamiliar to him, but his battlefield intuition was still sharp! The bond between them deepened in play, and Captain Bai Qi had established a reputation in their hearts.
His ship was called "Ice Field", with a cargo capacity of one million tons. This time, they were going to transport machinery and equipment from the Dongfang Red Machinery Manufacturing Company, as well as 200 technical personnel. They were preparing to transport them to a planet codenamed Gliese581g in the Libra constellation of the Milky Way galaxy. A previous ship was about to arrive, and by the time Bai Qi walked onto the road, they should be able to establish an advance base. Previously, Bai Qi had never traveled such a long distance, and the approximately 14-light-year journey was enough to make him sleep in the hibernation chamber until he felt sick. Due to the vastness of the journey, there were many uncertain factors, so the risk was relatively high. Fortunately, he had 200 technical elites of all kinds to rely on, so he wasn't afraid. Soon, the cargo was loaded, and they set off.
The massive hull of the Iceberg burst through the sky, flying towards the distance. The crew members stood guard at their respective posts, diligently performing their duties. This ship had been running for three years, and the crew members knew each other deeply, so their relationship was very harmonious. They worked together seamlessly. Soon they flew out of the solar system and entered the predetermined orbit. Flying towards the planet Gliese 581g in Libra. This flight would take about thirty years, which meant they had to sleep soundly in the hibernation chamber.
This journey was also smooth sailing, but just as they were about to enter the galaxy where Libra is located, an unexpected event occurred. Countless comet fragments appeared on their flight path, and with a speed close to that of light, they would collide within minutes! The situation was extremely critical! Captain Bai's bedroom was suddenly awakened, and in less than ten seconds, he made a decision. If they forced a turn now, the nearly fully loaded Ice Origin might disintegrate due to its strong inertia, which would be difficult to overcome in a short time. Now, the only option was to create a massive explosion ahead, strong enough to disrupt the comet fragments' trajectory and force them to change course! Time was of the essence, and Captain Bai quickly smashed the emergency launch button with his fist, launching a missile with a payload of 5 million tons towards the comet fragments. At the same time, the emergency brake was activated, and Captain Bai carefully controlled the spaceship, continuously firing missiles. One minute later, the missile reached a safe distance from the ship and exploded! The explosion of 5 million tons was nothing in the vast universe, but it only slightly pushed the comet fragments off their original course. Captain Bai let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the greatest danger had been averted. The largest piece of the comet fragment had already passed by the Ice Origin, and the remaining smaller pieces were easy to deal with. However, Captain Bai couldn't let his guard down; he was responsible for the lives of 600 people on board and the safety of nearly 100 million tons of advanced equipment. This ship was also his pride and joy, and any small collision would make him anxious! The other tiny fragments were difficult to avoid, but the spaceship's hull could withstand them easily. However, when he saw the composition analysis of the comet, his heart immediately became tense again - this comet was made up of metallic hydrogen, a small amount of helium-3, and a small amount of rock! Such things were what every crew member dreaded; they were extremely unstable! It was as if they had encountered a sea monster in the middle of the ocean. Because the distance was already very close, the previously launched low-yield missiles were continuously exploding, and now all they could do was wait and hope that their luck would be good enough to avoid the comet fragments from being detonated. But hope is always beautiful, while reality is cruel! The sudden explosion destroyed Captain Bai's hopes, and the intense blast pulled the Ice Origin in every direction. Each explosion released more energy, and more fragments were ignited by the explosions. A chain reaction had begun! Captain Bai manually steered the Ice Origin to dodge left and right, looking very flustered. Suddenly, a larger explosion pulled the ship sideways, changing its course in an awkward manner. The crew members were now all awake, knowing they had hit the jackpot. The technical experts, however, were helpless because they knew that such situations were difficult to escape from. They had prepared themselves for death; every time the interstellar pioneers ventured out, there would be sacrifices. Their mental preparation was already done. Just as everyone had resigned themselves to their fate, Captain Bai's strange maneuver suddenly steered the ship into a calm space! The explosions seemed like something from the previous century, miraculously disappearing! The cabin erupted in cheers! People knew they were saved! Captain Bai was lifted up by the crowd, again and again, with tears of joy flowing freely!
Afterwards, Bai Qi explained this forced turn, saying it was his subconscious behavior, just a feeling. Experts say that the intense explosion may have pulled space and created a "wormhole" in spacetime! And coincidentally, Bingyuan Hao happened to rush right into it!
They are now in the solar system! When they confirmed the position of the sun, everyone was stunned! The mysterious outer space played a big joke on them, but the injured Ice Origin can no longer provide them with shelter for a long time. Ice Origin won't last long! Bai Qi decisively ordered to land on the moon. There is no atmosphere in the lunar sky. It can avoid friction and has a higher safety factor.
Yutu rover kicked up about 5,000 cubic meters of dust when it made an emergency landing on the far side of the moon. The expected connection with Earth had not been established yet.
His patience was wearing thin, the joy of being alive after a great calamity had long been thrown to the back of his mind. The ship was filled with complaints about the Earth Space Agency. At this time, Bai Qi and some experts were quietly discussing in the conference room, they all felt that something was not quite right. There should be many long-wave radio stations on Earth, there should be many radio waves being transmitted. But now, even those 0100100011010 haven't been received, had something happened to Earth?!
Bai Qi has dispatched a landing vehicle to the side of the Earth for direct observation. The other three batches of personnel have gone to the lunar base for rescue, and a small lifeboat has started flying around the moon. However, the information sent back by the driver is: "The moon is desolate, there's nothing except for the ring-shaped mountain. Our three large bases have all disappeared, it's possible that we've come to a planet similar to the moon."
The team searching for the nearest lunar base sent back information that "Zhang Hengshan Base does not exist, all facilities have disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been established. There is no sign of mining in the titanium mine near the base either. The third team has completed its exploration mission and applied to return to Bingyuan No. 1." Bai Qi suddenly remembered something, and it was very likely that the term "crossing" popular in 2000 had come true on himself.
Bai Qi and the experts waited for news from Earth, but what they got back from the spaceship and ground observation vehicle was "This is our Earth, only the surface facilities are not right, and the technological level of the Earth is probably only at the 20th century level." They heard this information, looked at each other in dismay, and were speechless. Bai Qi cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, we haven't come to the wrong place, this is indeed the Moon, our home is not far away. It's just that time isn't right, we've returned to the Earth of the 20th century. This phenomenon can't be explained for now, so let's not bother looking for a reason. Our top priority now is to repair the Iceberg and try to get back home as soon as possible. Now let's assign tasks...
After more than ten days of rest, Bai Qi and his team had established a base on the moon. The equipment that was originally intended to be used to establish a base on Gliese 581g was instead used on the moon. Since the moon has no water or oxygen, the base is only temporary. Bai Qi extracted enough titanium to replace alloy materials, and after initial processing, the titanium alloy was used to repair the Ice Origin. Although the current Ice Origin cannot travel long distances, it can now land on Earth.
In these dozen or so days of observation of the Earth, Bai Qi determined that the current time on Earth is the summer of 1942, and humanity is currently engaged in a world war. Bai Qi watched all this with great interest, thinking to himself: 'The opportunity has come'.
Next, Bai Qi ordered the manufacture of more than 30 satellites to orbit the Earth for observation and exploration. Then he gathered everyone together for a meeting, preparing to head home!
He knew that this team of people would definitely change the status quo on Earth, although it was uncertain whether this planet was their hometown or not, but here they had everything! His subordinates were all Chinese, and among the 200 experts, apart from the Chinese, most were of Germanic and Jewish descent. The only two women were a Chinese woman and a fiery Latin American woman!
Bai Qi thought of this place and had a plan in mind. He had already decided that after landing, he would change the whole world through this war.
He ordered the collection of as much helium-3 as possible, and a lot of pure titanium. He knew that on Earth he needed a lot of energy. The 200 tons of helium-3 produced enough electricity for him to use for thirty years. They manufactured many robots to extract helium-3 from the moon. The robot factory's production capacity was limited, and it could only extract about 50 tons per year. Even so, it was enough to meet the needs of Earth.
His crew knew little of the world in 1942, and so did the technical experts. Based on their trust in Bai Qi, they followed him unconditionally.
Bai Qi carefully analyzed several major warring nations on Earth.
China, having experienced the impact of modern science, is in a state of turmoil socially, culturally and militarily. Most people are still not awake, although there is a large number of enlightened scholars and patriotic youth. However, it will take time for the entire nation to awaken. Bai has deep feelings for his motherland, but he does not want to put his immature ideas into practice in China. Helping his country is certain, but using his country as an experimental field is unacceptable.
The Soviet Union, the country with the largest territory, also has a big appetite. Their traditional expansion strategy is deeply rooted. In this country, there is only one person who can make Bai Qi have a good impression of him, and that is Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who is now deceased. This is because the founder of the Republic once said something in a declaration issued by his government: "The Soviet government will return to the Chinese people all the things that the Tsarist government plundered from the Chinese people or jointly plundered with Japan and the Allied Powers." Whether it's true or not, they've got a prior statement. As for other old Soviets, Bai Qi only has one attitude: annoying!
As for those little Japanese, what more needs to be said? They are a bunch of beasts, and should naturally be dealt with in the way one deals with beasts!
The John Bulls, they have been rampaging on the earth for too long, now it's time to make these hypocritical gentlemen pay the price they should pay! This biggest virus in Europe, the greatest destabilizing factor of European stability, must be thoroughly resolved!
The Americans, with so much land, the key to grain reform is North America! As for manufacturing, aerospace, and all other high-end industries, don't worry about them. Although Uncle Sam has many clever people, just let your little cleverness be used for farming!
Germany, that's where Bái Qǐ chose. Because this era of Germany has all the qualities that Bái Qǐ is familiar with, and it's exactly what he wants to have in a country. Every citizen is fully mobilized, every soldier is well-prepared, and the nation has high obedience and highly educated citizens. This immature nation is now being manipulated by a group of conspirators - Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill. These three people are cunning and Germany is being taken advantage of! Bái Qǐ can't let such a useful tool be destroyed, so he uses Germany as a breakthrough point to start his journey to change the world through war! With one order from Bái Qǐ, the Ice Origin rises into the air and flies towards southern Germany.
