legend.
Zaire is produced from the fruit of the Mulan tree. Zaire is the ancestor of Zaire, that is, the ancestor of the rough man, which is roughly equivalent to the ape man, the ancestor of humans on earth.
The Mutu Mulan Tree is a legendary tree that grows in the far north of the Earth.
If I have to describe it, this is a ginseng fruit tree.
Zaire fell to the ground, rolled, and became a human form. They began to survive in the destruction ball. After their death, they will grow into a new Mulan Tree. The tree of Mutu and Mulan will bear countless fruits, give birth to more Zaire, and bloom everywhere in the Destruction Ball.
until one day.
Dead Zaire no longer turns into a tree.
"The ancestors offended the majesty of God, they stole the power of God, and the disaster of our planet Wobofu began from that moment... Zaire fell, the gods punished them, Nasbibiu was no longer gentle, and Sa The light that comes down no longer protects us, it cuts off our roots.”
Weedao spoke sadly about ancient myths.
That is a piece of history passed down by old people without distinguishing between true and false. The ancestors of the rough people, Zaire, are pure creatures. They live in harmony with nature, and are accompanied by flowers, plants and trees. They are born on trees and turn into trees after death. The trees of Mutu and Mulan are their roots. Only with roots can there be hope of flourishing branches.
But something happened later, and Zaire no longer turned into trees. They began to give birth to viviparous children, a new way of reproduction, and they became Zaire.
Zaire means a large animal that lives in trees; Zaire means a large animal that makes tools.
As for Nasbibiu, it is Arcturus.
In the legends of the rough people, Arcturus is the place where the gods live and is the manifestation of the gods, possessing endless energy. The gods cut off their roots, and Arcturus began to scorch.
"This myth probably describes Arcturus's transition from the main sequence stage to the red giant stage, where larger stellar winds began to erupt."
Shen Cong thought.
Although the myths are said to be made up by the ancients, they more or less involve some real history. The intelligent creatures at that time were still ignorant and ignorant of the changes in the civilization, so they could only make up myths to support their theories.
So he asked.
"You, I mean Zaire, what power of God have you stolen?"
Weeds didn't answer.
Next to it, a very old rough man who was responsible for passing on knowledge sighed quietly: "According to legend, what our ancestors stole was wisdom, the wisdom of the gods. With wisdom, Zaire no longer lives in harmony with nature. Zaire has besieged us, and Zaire has wisdom, so the evil comes with it, including greed, rage, selfishness, and killing... "
Just when Shen Cong felt that this set of rhetoric was very similar to the religions created on earth, something like original sin.
The old rough man changed the topic: "But that's just a legend. The legend is to numb yourself. In fact, the real reason is not the gods, but Nasbibiu. It has entered a period of decline from a stable period and can no longer help Wobo Fu. The planet provides a suitable lighting environment.”
"Hmm." Shen Cong made a meaningless echo.
It turns out that the rough guys are not stupid. They have studied astronomy a long time ago and know that Arcturus has become a red giant.
Weedao took over the words of the old rough man and said: "About a thousand years ago, this is the earliest recorded history of our Wobofu, and the temperature began to gradually rise. Although our technology is developing rapidly, we cannot stop the temperature from getting hotter and hotter. , Zaire wants to leave Wobofo, but does not have the technology."
"Have you ever flown a destroying ball?"
"Probably not, I can't answer for sure, because a lot of history has been destroyed, and some of it has been abandoned underground. I have been to the Tak Ulam tribe, and their records are also intermittent... For us, history is actually nothing. There is no meaning, Wobbof will be destroyed, Zaire will end, everything will go to nothingness."
"So, you all knew that the Destruction Ball would kill all life from Arcturus's stellar wind and radiation."
"Yes, it's not a secret. Everyone knows that Nasbibiu is not normal, and Wobofu is too hot. In the past, we were a green planet, with countless flowers, plants and trees, seas, rivers, and even we had It emits fountains a thousand meters high and waves hundreds of meters high.”
Now.
The Killing Ball is dry, there is no sea, no big river, not even small puddles can be found, that is, in the underground city, there is a shallow underground river flowing.
Shen Cong was indifferent to the experience of destroying the ball.
He asked: "Are you sure you have never left in a spaceship to find a suitable planet to live on?"
"I don't know, I really don't know, but Mr. Universe Tianzun, you can go to the Tak Ulam tribe to find the answer. If there is none there, then the only place where the answer may exist is at the center of the Valian Circle."
"Walien Center?"
"A hundred years ago, when there was still surface water in Wobofo, the center of the Walian Circle was the last lake, which was once a trench of the sea. The center of the Walian Circle was home to all the elite Zaires, where they gathered and studied, searching for Hope of survival.”
Shen Cong asked a knowing question: "Have you found it?"
"Probably not, because the Wallian Center only lasted for more than a year because the lake dried up and was no longer suitable for habitation. But before that, the elite Zaire there caused a huge explosion and buried the Wallian Center in the Underground. Perhaps the answer you want is buried there."
"You haven't done any archaeological research there?"
"It's not easy to survive, so who would go into archeology?"
"Okay, let's continue talking about history. A thousand years ago, you have documented records that science and technology were greatly developed, but the temperature was getting hotter and hotter; five hundred years ago, the surface environment began to deteriorate; a hundred years ago, the last lake was in Wa Even the center of the circle disappeared; after that, you went underground?"
"Yes, underground life was relatively stable at first. After all, Wobofor is a very wrinkled planet with many cave ecosystems and a lot of food. But the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cave ecosystem is gradually collapsing, and our habitat is gradually decreasing. , and experienced poisonous stones falling from the sky half a year ago. As of now, there are probably only more than 120 tribes left."
Calculating a tribe of 5,000 people, the total population of the destroyed world is only over 600,000.
This is what weeds and old rough people say, the development of ball-killing rough people's civilization.
It's not spectacular, on the contrary, it's full of sadness.
Intelligent life was born on a planet that was destined to exterminate life from the beginning. When they understood their situation, they realized that they had no way out and could only wait to die slowly. But their desire to survive has kept them multiplying until now.
Shake his head.
Shen Cong felt that the reason why the rough people lost their chance of escape was that their civilization evolution speed was too slow.
There are documented records a thousand years ago, which is equivalent to the beginning of civilization in China's Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
A thousand planet-destroying years.
It is equivalent to more than 260,000 years of the earth's time. With this time of development, humans on earth have probably conquered the universe. After all, in just five thousand years, humans have begun to explore space. Even if metal civilization does not come, humans will definitely be able to travel the universe within a thousand years.
It seems like this.
Compared with humans, rough people are inferior beings. They look big and thick, but their creativity is actually limited. Shen Cong said: "I have obtained the weeds and poisonous stones. Take me to the Tak Ulam tribe."
At this time, the weeds suddenly lay on the ground.
Then he raised his head and looked at Shen Cong: "Mr. Universe Tianzun, you are from an alien planet. I know that you must have a highly developed civilization. Please help us Zaire! As long as we are given a habitat, we are willing to do anything Sacrifice, even if it means becoming a slave.”
