Synopsis
Chapter 1 of "Ziwei Apocalypse" Star Map in Concrete Section 1: Crying and falling stars At 3 a. M. On September 9, 1999, the night sky in Longhua, Shenzhen was weighed down by thick dark clouds, as if a huge lead plate might fall down at any time. At a certain construction site shrouded in this depressing atmosphere, the iron shacks shivered in the autumn wind. Chen Guizhi was lying on the straw mat, with big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. The amniotic fluid mixed with sweat had already soaked the straw mat. The searchlights from the pendant outside the window are like uneasy eyes, scanning the night sky from time to time, startling a group of crows perched in the pile of steel bars. These crows made piercing cries, and their dark red pupils reflected the frightening phenomenon in the sky - the Seventh Star of the Big Dipper was exuding an eerie glow, like a bloody meteor about to fall. "Old Lin! The cement truck is about to overturn!" The shed next door suddenly exploded with a horrifying roar, and the sound spread very far in the silent night. Lin Dayong was nervously flipping through the midwifery manual. When he heard this call, his face instantly turned pale. He threw away the manual without hesitation and rushed towards the mixing area like an arrow. Fifty meters away, the out-of-control cement tanker truck was running towards the sleeping workers like a wild horse. Lin Dayong subconsciously picked up half of the rebar. The tip of the steel bar glowed with mysterious ancient seal runes under the moonlight. The runes shimmered slightly as if they were alive. If you look closely, they looked like symbols from the ancient "Construction Method". What's even more surprising is that every step he takes seems to contain some mysterious power, leaving a hexagram deep in the concrete pavement. The hexagram disappears in an instant, but leaves traces of shimmer in the air. In the shack, Chen Guizhi was suffering from the severe pain of childbirth. With a loud baby's first cry, the cry was like a sharp knife, piercing the curtain of rain. Chen Guizhi opened his eyes tiredly and stared at the blood in his palms. The warm liquid was slowly solidifying, forming a pattern similar to thunder patterns on bronze vessels. It was mysterious and strange. The baby boy in his arms suddenly opened his eyes. In his clear eyes, a golden grid like a Bitcoin K-line chart emerged from the depths of his pupils. The grid kept flickering and beating, as if conveying some unknown message. Section 2: The mystery of slump At the beginning of autumn in 2003, the autumn mood in Shenzhen was not obvious, and the air was still filled with muggy heat and humidity. Four-year-old Lin Shen squatted quietly at the door of the weighing room at the construction site like a little adult. The roar of the mixer trucks around him was deafening, but he seemed to be in another world, concentrating on using chalk on the ground to deconstruct Goldbach's conjecture on the sand. Every grain of quartz sand seems to be given life by him, falling exactly at the position corresponding to the zero point of the Riemann function, as if constructing a microscopic model of the universe. "Slump 180! Water-cement ratio 0.47!" The quality inspector's sharp roar was like a thunder, instantly shattering the sandbox universe constructed by Lin Shen. Lin Shen raised his head, with a hint of displeasure on his young face. He saw his father Lin Dayong skillfully filling fresh concrete with a test block mold, his movements skillful and steady. If you observe carefully, you will find that the aggregate ratio of these concretes coincides with the meridian directions of the "Huangdi Neijing" - the 12mm granite particles seem to be carefully selected, corresponding to the position of the bladder meridian of the foot, sun, and foot; the amount of mineral powder is staggeringly accurate, which is exactly the intersection threshold of the Ren and Du meridians. It seems that this concrete is not an ordinary building material, but a medium containing mysterious power. At this time, mother Chen Guizhi hurriedly walked in carrying a safety helmet. On the inside of the brim of the helmet, a simple pattern of the 43rd image of "Pushing Back Diagram" is painted in red paint. Although it has been worn away by the years, the mystery and depth between the lines can still be seen. When she bent down closer to Lin Shen, the pendant that slipped out of her neck flashed. It was a delicate miniature armillary sphere. On the armillary sphere, the LED lamp beads embedded in the twenty-eight constellations are flickering. At this moment, the lamp beads in the Tianshu star area are flashing crazily, emitting rapid light, as if conveying some kind of emergency signal to the owner. Section 3: Seal activation In 2008, the financial crisis swept across the world like a tsunami, plunging the world economy into chaos. On the night when the financial crisis broke out this year, the night in Shenzhen was filled with an invisible tension and uneasiness. Nine-year-old Lin Shen sneaked into an Internet cafe, preparing to find a trace of tranquility in the virtual world of "World of Warcraft." The Internet cafe was crowded, and everyone was immersed in their own games. No one noticed the strange light flickering in the night sky outside the window. The time in the lower right corner of the screen slowly jumped to 23:59. Lin Shen was concentrating on controlling the game character to complete tasks next to the magma. Suddenly, the magma on the screen seemed to be solidified by a mysterious force, and slowly turned into a holographic projection of Chapter 8 of the "Tao Te Ching", with the simple words exuding a soft light. Lin Shen stretched out his fingertips curiously, and as soon as he touched the four words "The Supreme Good is Like Water", in an instant, the entire row of computers had a blue screen at the same time, with strange snowflakes flashing on the screen. At the same time, at the construction site, Lin Dayong was holding prayer beads and praying silently. Suddenly, as if he felt some strong omen, he suddenly crushed the beads. 108 Sandalwood beads rolled down to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers. Miraculously, they rolled down into the shape of the Hetuluoshu array. Seeing this, Chen Guizhi quickly picked up the Luoyang shovel and split the soil with force, revealing the bronze Liuren plate that had been buried for many years. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and determination, and then the shovel head in Chen Guizhi's hand struck hard at Kun Wei. In the Internet cafe, Lin Shen suddenly had a splitting headache, as if millions of needles were pricking his head. The last thing he saw was that the game characters turned into countless light dust, which danced crazily in the virtual night sky, gradually forming the shape of the Ziweiyuan Star Map. When the ambulance arrived, the originally flashing golden grid in the boy's eyes had been completely extinguished. He closed his eyes tightly and fell into a coma, as if everything he had experienced before was just an illusory dream. Foreshadowing matrix 1. The rune on the rebar in the cement truck accident: This rune is not an ordinary pattern. It is a key clue to the awakening of the Seven Kills. In future stories, when Lin Shen faces a life-or-death crisis, this rune will appear again, awakening the power hidden in his body and helping him avert danger. At the same time, the appearance of the runes also hints at the inextricable connection between the Lin Shen family and the mysterious power. This power may originate from the power of the ancient stars, and rebar is only its temporary carrier. 2. Mother's Pendant's Armillary Sphere: It will be revealed later as a stargate locator. As the story progresses, in the process of exploring the truth of the world, Lin Shen will discover that there is a correspondence between the directions of the twenty-eight constellations on the armillary sphere and mysterious places in the real world. By adjusting the armillary sphere's pointer, he can open star gates to different mysterious spaces. These spaces contain key clues to unlocking the mysteries of the universe and are also full of unknown dangers. 3.? Bronze Liuren Disk chisel vibration: This vibration triggered the seal of the protagonist's consciousness. This seal is not a simple confinement, but a protection mechanism. Before Lin Shen grows up enough to face dangers from the outside world, the seal isolates him from the mysterious power of the outside world, preventing him from falling into danger prematurely. However, as the plot develops, certain special events will gradually unlock this seal, allowing Lin Shen to gradually awaken and discover the great mission he has shouldered. 4.? Game character light dust pattern: This pattern previews the reconstruction of the universe in the final chapter. At the end of the story, when the world faces the crisis of destruction, Lin Shen will rely on the memory and understanding of this light and dust pattern to find a way to reconstruct the universe. This means that the light and dust patterns in the game do not appear accidentally, but are a sign from a higher dimension, suggesting that Lin Shen will become a key figure in saving the universe. Narrative Density Control 1. Supernatural clue implantation: One supernatural clue is carefully implanted in every thousand words to keep the story mysterious and attract readers to explore further. These clues are like pieces of a puzzle that are gradually pieced together as the chapters progress, allowing readers to continuously experience surprises and the fun of solving puzzles during the reading process. 2.? Realistic and mysterious ratio: Realistic details and mysterious elements are blended strictly in a ratio of 7:3. Through detailed descriptions of the Shenzhen construction site, such as the roar of the mixer truck, the working scenes of workers, etc., It creates a real and perceptible background environment for the story, making it easier for readers to immerse themselves in it. At the same time, mysterious elements such as star maps, runes, etc. Are added in a timely manner to break the tranquility of reality and stimulate readers' curiosity and imagination. 3. Repetition of key images: Key images such as star charts, K-lines, concrete, etc. Appear repeatedly to strengthen readers' impression of these important elements. The star map symbolizes the unknown mysteries of the universe and the guidance of destiny; the K line represents a certain connection between the modern world and mysterious forces, implying that the laws hidden behind the world are not as simple as what appears on the surface; concrete serves as the connection point between reality and mystery. It is not only the basic material of the building, but also carries the mysterious power in the story, witnessing the growth of the protagonist and the turning point of fate. Through the repeated appearance of these key images, the unique atmosphere and internal logic of the story are constructed. Ethical safety mechanism 1. The science fiction setting of "Tui Bei Tu": Transforming "Tui Bei Tu" into a science fiction setting, Chen Guizhi's prophecy system is not based on traditional occultism, but is realized through a high-tech device. This device can receive special signals from the depths of the universe and convert them into images and information, similar to the predictions in "Tuibei Tu". This setting not only retains the mysterious color of "Tui Bei Tu", but also conforms to the logic of science fiction stories, avoiding misunderstandings that may be caused by over-reliance on traditional mysticism. 2.? Cultivation system in architectural terminology: The practice system is wrapped in architectural terminology, and slump is defined as the threshold of spiritual power, making the concept of practice in the story more concrete and rational. Under this setting, the character can improve his strength by adjusting his "slump", that is, the stability of his spiritual power. For example, when Lin Shen encounters a bottleneck in his practice, he needs to adjust various parameters of his spiritual power, such as the "water-cement ratio" (corresponding to the ratio of purity and activity of spiritual power), just like adjusting the slump of concrete, so as to break through the bottleneck and improve his strength. This setting cleverly combines real-life architectural knowledge with a fantasy training system, making the story more interesting and readable. 3. Dimensionality reduction processing of religious symbols: Dimensionality reduction processing of religious symbols is performed, and Buddhist beads are used as energy matrix media. Prayer beads are no longer simply religious items, but a special prop that can store and guide energy. Lin Dayong activated the energy contained in the beads by crushing them and arranged them in the form of the Hetu Luoshu Formation, thus triggering a series of mysterious events. This method of treatment not only utilizes the mystery of the religious symbol of Buddhist beads, but also integrates it into the science fiction and fantasy setting of the story, avoiding possible religious sensitive issues and enriching the plot and setting of the story. Intention: Everything is the best arrangement
