美国，华盛顿特区

在此之前，没有人相信恐怖分子有一天能拥有核武器。

一名未知来历的恐怖分子在这一天用一枚万吨当量级普通裂变弹袭击了白宫。

事件造成千余人死亡，数万人受伤和被辐射污染。

这一事件成为高速发展的经济与政治局势下
紧张国际关系的平衡破坏者。

美国借故发动漫无目的的军事行动，成为战争全面爆发的强效催化剂。

微小的火线迅速连成片，2054年，三战全面爆发。

而且因为有着使用核武器的开头，核威慑终结，
各种高杀伤力武器全面投入使用。

各种国际公约被置若罔闻。没有人真正知道战争的目的是什么，
但是所有人都在互相攻击，在杀戮中陷入兽性的疯狂，仿佛要发泄数千年的仇恨和痛苦。

用人间地狱来形容这一时代显然太过单薄。

核武器，
闻所未闻的生物化学武器，
小型但无处不用的物理武器；

针对非生命设施的破坏武器，
针对非人类生物以破坏食物网的武器；

人类似乎觉得，明天，不存在。

如果不是基金会、GOC等亲人类组织使用异常手段强行介入，
从各种角度看，人类的彻底灭绝和地球环境的非宜居化都只是几年之内的问题。

2056年，约35亿人站在一片广袤的废土上放下了武器。

核爆产生的辐射尘和土壤、水源、生态系统污染，
尽管全面投入异常力量，也是几年之后才清理到对人类安全的水平。

但是接近破坏殆尽的基础设施，尤其是通信和供应链，
还是使得两亿人在接下来的四年里死于慢性辐射病、难治生物武器感染和化学武器残余的慢性中毒。

剩下了三十三亿人。

一战持续约4年，死亡人类约0.6%。
二战持续约6年，死亡人类约4%。
三战持续约2年，死亡人类约40%。

但无论伤痛如何，人类又是继续活了下去。

从此，名为翠鸟纪元的时代永远离去，取而代之的是所谓的和平纪元。

那五十亿亡魂成为生者不愿触及的存在。

A short intro story before Final Victory's timeline.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

TL;DR

Final Victory is a tale featuring a panoramic view of human civilization in the near future, mainly within the upcoming two centuries, that hopes to establish a well-rounded story canon that merges the SCP universe and general, alternate-history science fiction together. While the supernatural warrants more possibility to the "hard" science fiction, the route that science fiction takes will ensure a bottom-up style world-building for the canon in contrast to typical short supernatural stories.

+ What makes a science fiction? [WIP]

- What makes a science fiction? [WIP]

Science fiction is a literary genre that uses coherent epistemology to stem its core concepts and keep them playing a significant role throughout the story. That means it branches out from one or multiple core concepts, and the logic makes its way to actually construct the story. The narrative revolves around this zeitgeist and is derived from the relationship between characters and some basic principles that wired up this world, whether the characters are to fight against, make good use of, or just study those basic principles.

It's not purely a philosophical argument. I enjoy discussing genres and different varieties of approaches in stories I have read, but not for the sense of debate. Whether there is a definite answer or not, I think that this kind of discussion might spark new possibilities in some of the crevices we ignore or have not yet discovered before.

One of the most common arguments is whether or to what extent a story's logic should be the same or submit to known science. Most people would argue that if one story seems way too parascientific, that it introduces too many original concepts without proper explanations, like magic, ghosts, or other supernatural powers, then the story will be disqualified from being considered science fiction.

But the SCP Foundation itself has opened another page of that literature arena. It speaks that even the most bizarre, horrific, and outlandish things could be measured and perceived and contained by some kind of scientific thoughts, or the thing we call clinical tone. To describe things in an objective, precise, and even monotonous manner. It has been proven that even if the actual materials are not scientific at all, they may still inherit the traits of science fiction.

So here is my statement. Science fiction may not necessarily stick with the science that we know in reality, but one core aspect is that it must possess a coherent system of epistemology, and this shall be the essence or the intriguing flavor of your story to qualify it as a good science fiction. One's attitude toward science fiction or any given genre might indeed be heavily influenced by their past experience of what stuff they have read in that field or that genre before. In my limited point of view, it's exactly this kind of chilling flavor that all obstacles, threats, or opportunities in your story exist in the bigger picture. Maybe it could be a story where the gravity constant went wrong, and you write about the consequences. Or just simply a slice-of-life scenario, but the emphasis shall always be on the logical side.

For example, your protagonist was stuck in the middle of a highway in the distant outskirts of a remote area or something. This premise can have millions of ways to make up a story and achieve an ending, but in this joking case, it's more likely that the protagonist's trouble was actually triggered by or rooted deeply in the way that humans facilitate wheels and gasoline fuels to contrive the thing we call transportation. The fact is that we are using wheels made from rubber, whether artificially compounded or extracted from natural rubber trees, to add friction against roads and solid ground surfaces to provide us the force to move forward. The wheel itself is rotated by either electromagnetic forces or a piston moving due to exploding oils we mined from deep underground. This is what probably a scientific point of view is like.

It could also be other constitutions, like the car is not running on gasoline and wheels, but magic gems and carpets. This approach will most likely be seen as not a science fiction, but we've seen this kind of setting make sense in the SCP wiki or even elsewhere, like that book trying to explain the magic in the Harry Potter universe by a theory of science. SCP universe has done the same by inventing a new field of study named thaumatology.

In fact, the story or simple premise I have stated above is far from enough to actually make a story. It just described what had happened. What contributes to the story twist is how you might spot a tension, it may be a strong will or an unresolved problem of your characters, a preexisting threat waiting ahead of them, or some intimidating, pervasive trouble hanging in the sky of that world that composed a vital part of the commune, the society of a given country, or the entire civilization.

This ran into the realm of traditional literature creation, but the difference lies here: you can try to exaggerate, solve, or just simply bring the tension or incentives of your story to the front of your show, by modifying different bits that made up your world's web of knowledge. A small distortion makes a huge impact.

Imagine a world where, due to astronomical complexities, the residents have never encountered a night on their planet, so the entire concept of night or dawn or dusk or stars does not exist in their culture, languages, and minds. They may view a dark sky falling as a horrible curse, an exotic world of torture and madness. This might play a role in any fantasy premise, but if you intend to write a science fiction, it might be useful to focus on this very aspect. To focus on how a different logic, a different pattern of mind, and a different system of science will work, and what will happen if the characters that are subordinate to this setting collide with an unprecedented situation.

What happened?

(The story actually started at 2048)

In 2054, the Third World War broke out. It's a genocide nightmare with nuclear disasters and paranormal disclosures. The global population reduced from 8.3 billion to 3.3 billion.

Dulce bellum inexpertis.

Name	Total Death Toll
WWI	About 10,000,000
WWII	About 80,000,000
WWIII	About 5,000,000,000

The entire world had actually become a loose federation.

After the war, many things had changed beyond the wildest dreams of the most progressive revolutionists.

An incredibly peaceful era came even before the wound of war had healed. There was not a single firing line all over the world during the two decades; This era was later named "Age of Pacification", or its nickname, Golden Age.
The world took up Esperanto as a common language for formal communication.
There were no more concepts of states and nations; humans organize themselves by small communes and social groups with weak social bonds.

Alexis Talcite, a designer working at the Tokyo branch of the biggest international enterprise "Emerinos Corporation", went to a live concert of an avant-garde rock & electronic music band, "Expotential", on New Year's Eve of 2066. He met and befriended one of the vocalists in the band, Corsica Guel, who was also an artist of AWCY. Corsica said she knew someone who was Chinese before WW3 and had written several Chinese lyrics for the band. Corsica then assumed that Alexis might know the writer, and said that her band was on a stroll from Tokyo to the Asian mainland, Europe, North America, and finally, South America, where Corsica's motherland was. Moreover, she was going on the world tour also hoping to find her sister, Lucerna, who had lost touch with her since the war started.

Hearing all that, Alexis decided to ask for a long leave from his company and follow Corsica onto the journey westward.

White Night

On New Year's Eve on Jan 1, 2080, humankind's first nuclear fusion power plant was launched at Leowata, both as a celebration for the new decade and for the epic science breakthrough. An unbridled revelry of millions broke out at Steam Plaza, during which a 1,000 MW laser emitter turned the night as bright as day.

Later in the chronology of The Brief History of Epochs, this event was considered the exact beginning of the Age of Nightingale.

Abstinence in Hedonism - An Intro to Unuigismo/Sensoligismo

Mass Purge

How about moving from decimating humankind to deracinating life? A radical, fanatical, extremist ideology that hopes to eternally eradicate all sapient beings in all reachable multiverses. (Because all civilization sucks. This was based on a thesis that once a civilization can succeed in biological and adversary evolution, it's bound to be egocentric, uncharitable by nature, even if under altruistic covers - the deracinationists consider all philanthropy as surviving strategies and deny "constitutional kindness".)

Locations of Interest

Wanderers' Library

Abbr. WanLib. Something changed since the mid-2050s; Many patrons and regular visitors settled down into permanent residences, thanks to improved amenities and enriched collections of realities.

Welcome to the Steam Plaza.

Leowata

An anarchic research city. The Foundation suffered from drastic resource loss since WW3, but managed to operate in a highly conscientious manner, continued to devote to protecting humankind from dangerous anomalies in the world after war, and prevented the conflict from escalating to become the Eighth Occult War. The Foundation has contributed to restoring the nuclear-polluted world ecosystem by exploiting its non-anomalous technology, causing a nearly actual Lifted-Veil scenario. This cost was deemed acceptable as compared to enhancing the general welfare of humankind after the war.

Nonetheless, some parts of the gargantuan Foundation continue to roam on a different path. Area-03 has always been the largest research facility of the Foundation, since several decades before the war. It was the predecessor of the city Leowata, built upon the ashes of the war among the hills on the western coast.

Spinal Spiral Spike (nickname) is the famous landmark of Leowata, a rod made of high-tenacity material and held upright by several long ropes at the epicenter of Leowata. The rod is exactly 1,000 meters high and was constructed using a defunct rocket launcher at the site.

A handrail-secured pedestrian slope spirals all the way along from the ground to the tip of the rod, making it possible for residents to climb 1 kilometer high into the clouds and mists of the mountains, and enjoy a good view of the sea in the distance. It usually takes less than an hour for an average adult to climb to the top without bringing any load. The rod is totally insulative and safe to approach even in thunderstorms. Natural lightnings are channeled via the supportive ropes to the ground.

Below is a visual depiction of this design:

Perspective view of the structure.

Orthographic view with stay cables.

It is literally a tapered spiral, generated by a parametric curve:

\begin{align} a = ( 2 0 ( 1 - t ) ^ { 2 } \cos ( 4 2 0 \pi t ) , 2 0 ( 1 - t ) ^ { 1 5 } \sin ( 4 2 0 \pi t ) , 1 0 0 0 , ( 0 \le t \le 1 ) \end{align}

GeoGebra preview.

Snappy Cosmos Productions is a grocery company owned by and based in Leowata, producing organic, non-polluted food and other necessities to sell to the public. Its main income benefited a lot from the advanced biotechnologies of Area-03.

Grand Particle Accelerator (nickname) is the possession of Area-03 ever since late 20th century. Buried deep underground, it luckily escaped the damage of nuclear demolition, and it was the largest particle accelerator on Earth by its diameter of over 10 km. The Spike stands at the exact center of it, with roads radiating from it and surrounding it, forming a cobweb-shaped road meshwork covering Leowata.

The above-ground part of Area-03 is constructed out of a half-buried white sphere, made of high-durable material, that was intentionally sunk underground previously as a project attempting to create an isolated artificial ecosystem.

The semisphere above ground is a whole dome inside. Corridors run along the inwall and form circular alleys of different sizes hanging over the open area on the ground floor. Floors are connected by elevators of a special design that give them enough strength to serve as pillars to support the dome structure.

The underground part is used for experiments and occupied by numerous containment cells. It also connects with the particle accelerator from the lowest floor.

On the highest floor, there is an exit to the outside overlook - a glass icosahedron. It is also an observatory, though not the best place to get a clear look at the stars - if you are an astronomy enthusiast, we recommend the hills or the spike, or larger observatories in other cities.

Spaxcur stations

Stations for publicized free cross-dimensional travelling, or so-called (as easy as) spatial "excursion".

Made possible by fusion energy technology in the late 2090s, Spaxcur was initially a byproduct of cutting-edge interdimensional physics experiments, which later enabled a method to create and sustain artificial wormholes. The wormholes could then send people and other objects to an "ideal" higher dimension, an "empty" plane that inherently overlaps with our world since the genesis of the universe, but not visible to the bare eye. After travelling through a fairly short "distance" in the higher dimension, the subject could actually skip a huge distance in the real world, then goes back to Earth through another wormhole. This process will be perceived as an instant teleportation. The majority of energy expense is from creating and sustaining the wormholes, but as fusion generators have granted thousands of times higher energy capacity to humankind, energy cost is no longer a problem.

The common identifier of Spaxcur stations, usually decorated as neon lights on the top of the entrance gate.

With flickering effect:

The "brand"¹ logo of Spaxcur resembles a figure 8 knot. It looks like an infinity symbol, symbolizing both the limitless possibilities that cross-dimensional travel and teleportation bring to humans, and the knots and ties that the technology has fused and brought together within humanity.

Back in the years when airplanes hadn't been invented, transportation was constricted in two dimensions - to move only on the ground. Later, when travelling by air and into space was no longer a daydream, the expansion of human transportation became three-dimensional, though the farthest traveller had never make it outside the solar system, the progress that we can fight against gravity means a huge difference. However, teleportation, and any ways to directly traverse unbreakable obstacles, remained delusional magic and ghost stories.

The birth of Spaxcur makes humanity ascend to the fourth dimension - the first time in history - and declares the mastery of dimensional science, a real huge leap as a whole civilization, which has never been thought to be possible except in theoretical science, before the invention of controlled fusion and antimatter generators that finally warranted ample energy to bring the wormhole hypotheses to life.

Some things are only possible in very specific environmental conditions, of which on Earth and in our familiar universe, we always tend to take them as granted. Water's strange property to weigh less when frozen, gravity, oxygen, and day-night cycles - all have created delicate conditions for life to grow.

But few people know an interesting trivia of topology: knots can only exist in the 3rd dimension. Otherwise, knots are not stable and will instantly fall loose (4th dimension), or it conflicts and cannot be tied at all (2nd dimension). This is why Spaxcur eventually chose a knot shape as its emblem. Across the parallel lines, you enter the knot, then leave it, back to the familiar three-dimensional world that allows the knot to exist. This tiny knot exists as a miracle, from any perspective.

The world's first experimental Spaxcur station was set in [DATA EXPUNGED], and the second one in Tokyo. Their ultimate goal is to establish a transportation network across the globe, so over a hundred Spaxcur stations were built and then assigned serial numbers in order of creation. Interestingly, Leowata, the actual cradle of the science breakthrough, did not own a Spaxcur until the 71st station was built. The famous address has thus become Spaxcur#71, Leowata.

Ideologies

No. 1 Transhumanism & Abolitionism²

I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am.
I know that I am not a category, I am not a thing - a noun.
I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe.

— Richard Buckminster Fuller

What will happen in a world where humans can reach grand longevity, cure any disease, rewrite memories, neuron connections and personal characteristics, change genes of grown individuals and transfer consciousness so that everyone can become whoever they want? Maximum well-being can be induced by either anomalous (mental-affecting) or non-anomalous (biochemical) ways. Nanobots can edit life like editing data. Nobody needs to work to earn a living. Entertainment, art, science, abundant factual liberty of thought and speech - people recovered from the deep wounds of the war and developed a paradise without much afterthought. It seems that all is fine.

But controllable nuclear fusion is born at the very moment when Imera Games tries to expand its market to the western semiglobe…

Until we're all brain patterns on computers, there are still forces that do not bend to our wants, including senescence and death.

An ideology without a proper title is more dangerous - inferring that it has fused into the mass normalcy, without being able to be noticed by the majority. A good example is stereotypes.

In most cases, politics is a kind of systematic violence that the majority cast to the minority.

Universal Nationalism

A new form of "nationalism" in the particular future milieu of intergalactic civilization(s), of which the residents of adjacent galaxies/ monoverses together form chauvinistic bonds, and in many cases they eventually proceed to become de facto geopolitical entities, similar to the geopolitical countries once on Earth. However, this term is not limited to describe human.

This phenomenon was believed to be firm evidence of deep-rooted hubris, ralationism and partitionism within the physiopsychologies of social sapient beings.

Obliteratism

A deconstructive ideology that tends to question all existing social constitutions, and to presume political problems to be repercussions of unnecessary social constructs that should be obliterated. (eg. genders, classes, other identity systems; currency and other parts of the capitalism/private-ownership economy system)

If you find something causing bountiful negative, painful concomitants and ramifications that can barely be reconciled and resolved by itself, and you believe that the world could be better without it, then you may be right.

This is why conceptual groups often do not own memorable names in Final Victory II, unlike other stories I wrote: I chose to do so because it resembles our present best. There are abundant names for political, social, religious, and cultural beliefs in the real world, but sometimes to name a lot of new things, linguistically, is to alienize them. Languages make good propaganda, but they also derive. You have to feel some of the weirdest and wildest future trends and see where they can be placed into your world scape. Honestly it negates the possibility that you share cool nouns and verbs in this book with your friends (saying "I read a sci-fi called Final Victory. It's written by a non-binary polyglot! Really cool! I guess you'll be curious about what xyz-ism and abc-ed is. Come. Become our compatriot.), but I hope it's worthwhile.

A parody of the song below.

Vitamins - Mili

I appeared to them that I'm not like everyone else
I was teased so harshly that I could barely hold back my tears
Why I have To bend to their view
Is this the point I've got to follow to live on this Earth?
Many voices were muted to avoid anything else
They've hit the target to keep alone their safety zones

You were the only king
Emperor
Who play the hierarchy
And be so satisfied
Be so satisfied
At what you have killed

Oh The bolts and cogs Little nails
Composed the apparatus Made me alive
Ticking obediently Letting the drive
And they don't even bother to survive

Sing my ode Eternal self
Where is hope Here is hope
Fell and drown Return the cells
Into myself Into myself
