Chapter 1 - author's preface

Runas

The abbreviation for "Eye of Runas" is a globally connected giant computer that can mobilize all computing resources. Its development process and working principle are top secret, and this supercomputer is not replicable.

It is named after the powerful rune "Runes" in Norse mythology (Runes is its plural spelling), and the giant race guards the Fountain of Wisdom. The main god Odin, in order to obtain the power of Runes, requests the guarding giant to give him a sip of the spring water to drink. The giant demanded that he pay a price that matched this power, which was Odin's own right eye.

In order to obtain the greatest power in nature, Odin offered his right eye and was willing to be hung upside down from a tree as a sacrifice to the gods for nine days and nine nights. And the main god of the world is precisely Odin himself, so he is himself as a sacrifice to himself.

After the ceasefire of the Third Total War, the "Eye of Runas" with strong predictive ability was developed, and the entire L.M.A.'s code of conduct was based on Runas' predictions about the future. The calculation method "chaos" used by Runas to simulate the real world is also the highest secret. For the vast majority of senior scientists, it is incomprehensible. For ordinary people, they believe in the accuracy of the Eye of Runas and Chaos, but do not need to understand this' ultimate wisdom '.

Mercury

Under the balance of power among all parties, L.M.A. only gained full control of the low orbit spy satellite controlled by Runas. Although it can rely on the satellite networks of other powers, it needs to accept their supervision.

And using Mercury means that Runas cannot monitor any place on Earth 24 hours a day, which indirectly limits his power.

L. M.A

The abbreviation for "Lorentz Military Academy" is used by its internal staff to refer to it as an academy, but in fact, this military academy established by a private foundation harbors intricate political relationships, and the work it carries out is far beyond the capabilities of an academy.

Hound Fox

L. One of M.A.'s most elite agents, real name Theodore Lin, of Asian descent, with identification number 17. His nickname is "Hound Fox", and it is said that he is a fox who can hunt hunting dogs in reverse.

S. C.C

The abbreviation for 'Storm Crisis Management Committee' is also referred to internally as the 'Supreme Committee'.

The committee has multiple members, although the vast majority of them have never formally appeared in person to attend meetings, and even in conference calls, not all members attend at the same time. The identities of the committee members are also the highest secret, and those who can attend meetings and discuss with them need to undergo strict identity checks.

The only S.C.C. committee member who can confirm their identity is Nathan Mann.

Nathan Mann, the chairman of L.M.A., was a military expert who served in the United States Navy and was one of Lin's instructors. He obtained his doctoral degree from West Point Military Academy, hence he is known as the 'Doctor'.

The Caucasus Democratic Republic does not exist on the world map, and the other countries mentioned in the article do not represent any practical significance or implication.

The Doomsday Clock in reality hangs at the University of Chicago in the United States, adjusting time according to the international political situation and the development of atomic weapons. Its endpoint is the nuclear apocalypse of Earth.

The Doomsday Clock of L.M.A. is controlled by the prediction of Runas, and whether L.M.A.'s Doomsday Clock will come to an end and the "Proton Apocalypse" will really come is still an open question.

Peng Bolji, the head of the military government of the Caucasus Democratic Republic, is commonly referred to as the "General". He once served L.M.A. and was one of the earliest core members, but after the "Alibaba Night" that L.M.A. did not want to recall, he left L.M.A. He is also one of Lin's instructors and a devout believer. He is the most kind and amiable person among the instructors, so he is called the "pastor".

Young people

The young man who is always with cigar smokers is someone who has a deep connection with L.M.A., but undoubtedly, he is working for the hostile forces of L.M.A.

One of the most taboo topics in the Alibaba Night L.M.A. records, the members of the S.C.C. have always had a deep fear of this tragic event. At present, all we know is that on that night, L.M.A. lost the vast majority of excellent agents and suffered heavy losses.

Its official name in the document is the "Fernan Incident", which is still a unsolved case. As the main person in charge of the case, Dr. Man has not been able to fully explain his responsibility in it. So far, apart from Dr. Mann, the only known informant is Peng Baoji. Dr. Mann needs a testimony letter issued by Baoji to prove to the Supreme Committee that he is not the main person responsible for the incident.

A small town in central southern Europe, now in ruins.

The most mysterious figure among cigar smokers, the supporters behind the 'young people', are also at odds with L.M.A.
