Chapter 154 Where Did We Come From?
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to meet you all here. I am Olina Christoff of the National Exploration Society, and it is an honor to speak to you as the Honorary Dean of the School of History at the Amerinsia State University."
"Over the past few years, through the efforts of Her Excellency President Alice and the people, we have established the Federal Republic of Amelan, a great nation. Now, the country is initially stable, the great chasm between the North and the South has been bridged, and we are finally able to integrate the academic community from the South to the North."
"Before looking to the future, a serious question confronts us—where do we come from?"
Olina Kristoff wrote a sentence on the blackboard with chalk, ending it with a question mark.
Before this, no one had ever imagined what the past, which shaped the civilization we know today, was like. Throughout history, the victors have always controlled the past, but after the founding of Amelansi, the first document that could be considered a history book came from Alicia's possession of the "Chronicles of the Vampires."
Among a whole bookcase of well-preserved books, history is extended to 2300 BC, the year the vampire ancestors began to rule the Demon Realm. Although many things in the Chronicles of the Vampires are suspected of being exaggerated, it still contributed a lot to the beginning of the history of Amelansi.
In 2300 BC, after the collapse of Ancient Amelansi, the Demon Realm was formed.
The church was formed on what is now the Sacred Peninsula around 2200 BC.
In 2130 BC, the concept of the Elven Empire was introduced to the West.
In the year 2000 BC, the Demon Realm underwent its first major expansion, which ended in the area of present-day Brittany.
In 1900 BC, the vampire ancestor, Empress Lillian, established the unified Crimson Empire. In the same year, the royal family moved from Red Ridge to what is now Versailles.
In 1749 BC, the unified Scarlet Empire expanded for the second time, encountering the Church in what is now the Savoy area.
In 1722 BC, the Church unified the entire Holy Peninsula.
In 1604 BC, the Church and the demons became enemies, and the first war broke out in the same year.
The Duchy of Brittany was established in 1500 BC.
In 1453 BC, the Church achieved a great victory over the Sherpas in the Battle of Constantinople, and its conquest of the desert peninsula was a complete success. In 1452 BC, the diocese system was established, with the original Sacred Peninsula becoming the central diocese of the Church and the desert peninsula becoming the eastern diocese.
In 1349 BC, the Indiana Wars began, and the new Empress Astoria, who unified the Crimson Empire, authorized the formation of the Demon Race Anti-Church Army.
In 1230 BC, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy was established...
If nothing unexpected happens, the major events in the history of the Demon Race have already been clearly depicted. Future generations will not need to rebuild this framework; they will only need to add to and supplement these major events.
But an unexpected event occurred: since Olina Christopher sailed to the New World a few years ago and established the New Town colony, the island group in the middle that stretches across the entire world from north to south was clearly out of touch with the times.
What are they? When did they appear? And what impact did they have on civilization?
No one knows.
“Our archaeological work should have proceeded in an orderly manner, but now, with the application of carbon-14 dating, the age of the samples we brought back from the abandoned ring islands has also been measured.”
A section of the robotic arm was removed, and Olina Kristoff's team extracted a small piece of organic matter from the gap in the machine.
"Its age is around 40 millennia, which is about 40,000 years ago."
"Obviously, we have no idea what happened on our planet over the past 40 millennia, but the only thing we can be sure of today is that the word Amelansi is 40 millennia old."
The card brought from the wasteland ring clearly spelled out "Amelancy." This planet was called Amelancy.
Aimelanxi is an ancient word. In the legends of the Demon Realm, Aimelanxi was a kingdom that once stood on this land in ancient times.
The archaeologists' discovery turned the legend into reality. The ethereal legend suddenly became a reality, and the audience below the stage felt their hearts tighten and began to break out in a cold sweat.
What exactly is Amelansi?
What exactly was this so-called ancient Emeransia like over 40 millennia?
Where did they come from?
As the Amelanian industry developed, crossing the western ocean became increasingly easier, and more and more adventurers began to flock to the so-called Wasteland Ring. They divided these rings, which stretched for tens of thousands of nautical miles, into three parts: the far northern Wasteland Ring, the equatorial Wasteland Ring, and the far southern Wasteland Ring.
As the construction of Trian City came to an end, the West Coast Trade Building in the new city of Port Hilla rose from the ground. Glass curtain walls and reinforced concrete buildings began to dominate the sky. More and more adventurers were surprised and frightened to find that the ruins stretching in the wasteland ring were so similar to their hometown!
“We have reason to believe that the so-called ancient Emeransia, 40 millennia ago, may very well be what we are today.”
"But how exactly do we enter the wasteland ring? Nobody knows. We can only place our hopes on your efforts. Ladies and gentlemen, I, Olina Christopher, as the Honorary Dean of the History Department of Amelansi United University, hereby declare the Amelansi United University History Department established today!"
"May we unveil these 40 thousand years of days and nights, may we reveal our history, thank you all!"
The applause was thunderous. Today's founding ceremony was actually a press conference, which was undoubtedly a bombshell for Amelanxi.
"Some say that establishing Amelia is like building a kingdom from a fairy tale. Others say that we are a princess who can't escape a fairy tale."
"But today, they will realize they were wrong. Amelansi has a history spanning 40 millennia."
"Miss President, oh, you've arrived too."
"Of course, Miss Olina Christopher, our explorer and captain, thanks to you, we were able to touch the dusty past and explore a whole new continent."
"You flatter me, Miss President. You are the one who created all of this."
"Alright, enough with the formalities, Miss Olina Christopher. The country is now stable, and we finally have a ship to allocate to you."
Since the founding of the nation, Alice has always worn that dark blue pantsuit, with a small bowler hat on her head, making her look slightly mysterious.
"Oh no, my New World?"
"The New World is unable to undertake the mission ahead, Miss Olina Christopher. I'm afraid this time it will be even more dangerous. I think you're familiar with the concept of space."
Alice nodded slightly. Olina Kristoff looked at Alice and both felt that her little head held the secrets of the whole world.
How did she learn about the New World? And how did she single-handedly broaden people's horizons?
"The universe? Director Sainz told me that above the sky, outside the so-called atmosphere, lies the endless dark universe."
"Ah, very good. You are now a scholar, but are you still qualified to be a captain?"
“You’re looking down on me, Miss Alice. I’m ready to sail the oceans anytime. Just give me a ship like the one from the New World!”
"I'm afraid this time, the place you're going to is farther than the universe."
"where is that?"
"Antarctica."
Alice was eager to find evidence to prove her conjecture.
"In the southern part of our planet, at the southernmost point where solar radiation is scarce, on the other side where your magic points, on the southern side of this planet, I need you to explore there, and incidentally—find something at the end?"
"I'll prepare immediately."
