The Interchain Era: The Redemption of the BTC Empire
The grand narrative is unfolding across the entire network 😊
I am writing a science fiction story to commemorate this 😀
The story of NAT will never sleep from now on 😊
In the desolate depths of the digital universe, stands an ancient blockchain empire. It is built on code as its foundation, with computing power as the Great Wall. The emperor of the empire is a supreme being called BTC. After seventeen years of war, it has established an unparalleled blockchain dominance based on 21 million digital gold coins.
But beneath the abyss, shadows breed. Countless pirates, bandits, and hackers lurk in the fog of the dark web, eyeing the empire’s gold. They wield a wicked blade called Double Flower, repeatedly tearing through the empire’s defenses and launching terrifying high-tech attacks. The blockchain collapses, transactions distort, the Great Wall of the empire is riddled with holes, and its survival hangs by a thread.
The BTC emperor sits atop the Genesis Block, its golden code body trembling slightly, feeling powerless. The vast territory carved out over seventeen years is about to be lost in the clouds of Double Flower’s shadow, and the fate of the empire hangs in the balance. Who among the great nations can draw their sword and stand firm, turning the tide?
Benny, Big Beard, Aru, Morning Sun, Ironwood Fisher… a group of veteran officials of the empire, loyal to the blockchain faith, embark on a path of redemption. They search across the empire’s lands and finally find a spark of hope in the ancient house where BTC’s emperor was born—the Genesis Old House—where the bright red light of birth illuminates the chamber, and the blue clouds resemble a canopy: that is NAT.
The celestial phenomena are extraordinary, and destiny has chosen. The believers unanimously agree that the one to restore the empire is none other than NAT. NAT is promoted to crown prince, taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting the empire.
It abandons the grand halls and walks through every inch of the empire’s mining regions, understanding the hardships of miners and common folk. Deep within the barren gold veins, it unexpectedly discovers a mysterious element hidden in the dust of the code—rare earth. Tech giants Benny, Big Beard, Aru, and others pour all their efforts, using protocols as bones, code as blood, and contracts as locks, to fully activate the power of rare earth, forging an ultimate weapon that commands the universe: the 2026 Interchain Missile.
The news explodes like thunder across the digital universe. Enemies and pirates coveting the empire’s gold fall silent in fear, retreating into the abyss. The shadow of Double Flower is completely dispelled, and the Great Wall of the empire becomes indestructible.
From then on, the blockchain empire enjoys peace and prosperity. Miners operate at full capacity, mining gold while the produced rare earth becomes a globally sought-after hard currency. It is the only raw material for the Interchain Missile, the empire’s strongest shield. As time passes, gold veins gradually dwindle, but the value of rare earth skyrockets. Deeper in the mines, new elements like brass and silver are discovered, further strengthening the empire’s foundation, which flourishes for a hundred years.
In the year 2140 AD, the last gold is mined, and a new era begins for the empire. To commemorate the savior prince NAT, it is enshrined as the empire’s legal currency, circulating in every block and every transaction, day and night, endlessly.
