We Are Human

In the Russian Far East, the Great Road

A ravenous brown bear was tracking its prey, who had not eaten for three days. And it was also coldness that pushed it to intake some calories in case of dying in the Siberian highlands.

The bear spotted a fawn. It could have waited for a bigger prey to appear, such as the fawn’s mother, but it was so hungry that it had to take action

Locking onto the prey and lurking near it, the seasoned hunter had not lost any of its skills. Finally, it moved out; the fawn was alert, soon sensed the smell of danger, and escaped. This was a common scene on the Siberian plateau, but directly affected the lives of these two animals.

Everything was clear, the distance between the monster and its prey was getting shorter and shorter, and the predator would soon be able to catch up with it. Immediately, just as the IT lunged to prepare for the final end, the ground Beneath its feet suddenly crumbled away. The bear then fell, and the fawn got a chance to escape.

The place where the bear fell was near an iron gate, seemingly forgotten for centuries. The internal structure was necrotic, no better than its rusted surface. With the bear's last stomping force, the door was stomped out into a large hole. Long ago, this had been a restricted military site, but with the passage of time no one remembered it, and it had been abandoned. On the iron door, which was broken by the bear, there was a warning sign, reading Вход запрещен! Врата ада (Hell's Gate), it was obvious that the bear had not seen this warning sign, if it could read it.

But the bear had not yet hit the ground, not knowing how deep the "hole" in the end.* It howled while falling; not yet hitting the ground, it died in the weightless environment and extreme cold.

* S=1/2Vft. S is the distance, Vf final velocity, t is the time of acceleration. vf=at, a is the acceleration

a = acceleration of gravity g = 10

S=12km

We can get t=1.55hour

Under the hole...

"Hey, Rogneff, pass the hammer to me."

Near the earth’s core, the true sense of humanity lived. Humans had moved here before leaving the world to the AI to fend for itself. They had re-established the order that belonged to the earth's core, and nations and races still existed, but they could no longer solve their problems through war. This generation of humans had fair skin and hunched bodies because they had never been exposed to sunlight, but they were not weak, and their muscles grew on curved bones.

Geocentric humans did not know the existence of the surface world and could only glimpse that once-world in ancient books. After their ancestors gave the AI emotional functions, it was as if the AI began to evolve themselves, strengthening and closing the gap with humans until they were exactly the same as them, both outside and inside. They became stronger, more agile, and more advanced than humans, which made humans realize they had made a big mistake, so they moved to the Earth's core world before the robots ruled the world and also blew up all the passages connecting it to the surface, so that they were completely unconnected to the surface world.

"Here you go man, here's the hammer."

However, all this seemingly peaceful life again deemed to have been disrupted with the accident that befell the expansion of the Russian bunker. During the expansion of the Russian bunker, a massive collapse occurred. Although collapses were a common occurrence, the scale of the collapse and the death toll shocked the geocentric world. As the site of the collapse was cleaned up, a historical monument was found in the soil, which was inscribed Кольская сверхглубокая скважина - Kola Super Deep Borehole. People didn't know what it meant, even the Russian leaders said they couldn’t understand it. Even more puzzling, as the collapse was cleared, people found an additional deep hole overhead, which was so dark that it looked like a bottomless pit.

The news was quickly reported to the United Nations. After deliberation, leaders finally decided to organize expeditions to explore deeper into the cave. Having been working day and night, finally the rescue team shouted on the radio: There is light up there! It must be paradise! The UN leaders hurriedly organized manpower to prepare for the exploration of the "paradise", but one by one the expedition of the cave died, again and again for various reasons (blinding daylight, bone-chilling cold, tiny gravity ...) Failure. But people did not give up, and finally having crafted the perfect equipment to resist the unfavorable factors of "heaven", they began to explore the surface of the vast project.

As expeditions continued, they saw many landscapes that had only they had only seen in text. At first it was gas stations, small houses, followed by countryside, farmland, but these seemed to had been abandoned for ages, revealing a cold air everywhere. As they explored deeper for longer, they found the outline of the city. They approached the edge of the city carefully, cautiously, but when they tried to enter the city, they were startled by the sound from the speakers on the fence -

"Identification failed, please do not approach or you will be arrested for the crime of intrusion!"

The people from the earth core were surprised that their language could still be heard on this surface. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and reported the news to the guides of the earth core, who decided after a short meeting that they should continue to go in. They considered that these voices were recorded by people from a long time ago to defend themselves against foreign enemies.

At this point the loudspeaker on the enclosure began to sound an alarm, followed by a red light. The explorers were in a mess, not knowing how to respond. Even those guides could not give any judge or order.

At that moment the guard team inside the enclosure arrived. When they looked at the strange creatures outside the gate, they were shocked beyond words. Likewise, not only the guard team, but when these Geocentrics saw the tall and lanky guard team, their worldview was once again shaken. Coincidentally, both sides opened their mouths at the same time.

"What are you?"

"We are human."

Both sides said in the same breath.

---------- THE END --------- -
