Huang Ji went to bed at twelve and got up at nine the next day.
There is no way, he just wants to sleep longer than others, because his mind is too tired...
In his deep sleep, he also had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to see an elephant trampling the farmland and gnawing on the crops.
The local farmers were very dissatisfied, so they dug traps near the farmland, luring the elephants to step on them and get stuck in the pit.
Eventually, apparently, the elephant was killed by the farmers.
And this is the last elephant in Yu Province. Since then, the elephants in the Central Plains have become extinct.
Huang Ji woke up and played a set of internal classics, from the first group to the fourth group, he practiced all over again.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he came to the front hall.
I saw Lin Li sleeping on the carpet in the front hall, no need to ask him, Huang Ji also knew that he stayed up late last night and didn't sleep until dawn after practicing.
Not much progress, that is, two more successes, but because of staying up all night, I lost 20 hours of life...
Huang Ji shook his head, didn't wake him up, and went out to buy breakfast by himself.
After coming back and sitting on the sofa, drinking porridge and eating eggs, he continued to read.
"I dreamed of an elephant in the Central Plains. Yes, that was the last historical record I saw before going to bed."
In the past, there were many elephants in Yu Province. It can even be said that elephants ran all over the place...
Before Huang Ji went to bed, he saw a document, which was recorded in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and it was a record of farmers hunting and killing elephants.
This... is also the last time a wild elephant appeared in the history of Yu Province.
After more than a thousand years, there were no more wild elephants in the north.
"Why did elephants in the Central Plains become extinct?" Huang Ji flipped through the history books, trying to figure out the answer to this question.
There is no doubt that human beings must be extinct, but Huang Ji wants to deduce a more detailed historical process.
Once he succeeds, the past state information will be unlocked, and he will be able to trace back to the past, see through the historical development process of all things, and reverse the past.
"Although the last elephant died in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, as early as the Han Dynasty, there were basically no wild elephants in the north."
"The famous Cao Chong called the elephant, and it was also the elephant that Sun Quan in the south found from Guangdong and Guangxi as a tribute. Obviously, even if there were elephants in the north at that time, they were already extremely endangered, and they remained deep in the mountains and forests of Henan Province."
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals records, 'Businessmen serve elephants to abuse Dongyi. The Duke of Zhou chased them with his teachers, and as far as Jiangnan', during the war between Yin and Zhou, elephant soldiers had already developed. At that time, there were still many elephants in the Central Plains. "
"However, the Shang Dynasty hunted and killed wild elephants in large numbers. A large amount of ivory and ivory products were unearthed at the Yin Ruins in Anyang. If there was any trade, there would be killings. Wild elephants were hunted and killed in large numbers during the Shang Dynasty, and many of them were expelled to the south by the Duke of Zhou, so Except for the deep mountains and forests in Yu Province, there are almost no elephants, and they are on the verge of extinction. If they are found in the future, they will be hunted and killed, so it will be completely extinct?"
Huang Ji thinks that the derivation is correct, and the elephants in the Central Plains are extinct because of the indiscriminate hunting and killing of human beings.
The root of everything is that Yin merchants loved ivory, so there were only two or three big cats and kittens left in the Central Plains elephants that were all over Henan Province.
However, Huang Ji did not find that the past tense was unlocked.
This means that he uses the wrong concept, or the derivation is completely wrong.
"Isn't it right?"
Huang Ji tilted his head, didn't the Central Plains elephants become extinct because of indiscriminate hunting by humans
No matter how you think about it, it's true...Earlier, there was a legend about Emperor Shun's obedience to elephants: "Shun plowed in Mount Li. There were elephants for it, and birds for it."
Could it be that in the era when elephants could cultivate land, the frantic hunting has already begun
Thinking about it, Huang Ji tried to deduce the historical process of elephants in the Central Plains being hunted and killed in large numbers in ancient times and becoming endangered.
However... still not right!
Huang Ji frowned, he could have had a better derivation, but he still chose to deduce this.
He still doesn't believe it. Is it so difficult to deduce the extinction of an elephant
Then, until one o'clock in the afternoon, he failed to deduce the correct answer.
"How did elephants become extinct?" Huang Ji closed his eyes and thought hard.
Not to mention the correct answer, in fact, as long as the concept used is correct, the process is basically correct, and the result is mostly correct, then it can be unlocked.
This is his experience of unlocking the future state, but after trying various results, he still can't unlock it.
It means that the derivation is fundamentally wrong.
"Brother?" Lin Li stretched his waist and woke up, seemingly startled by Huang Ji.
"Tell me, how did the elephants in Yu Province become extinct?" Huang Ji asked him casually.
Lin Li was stunned and said, "Huh? There are still elephants in Yu Province? Aren't elephants in Africa and Southeast Asia?"
"...Forget it, let's go out to eat." Huang Ji said.
It's time for Huang Ji to think about treatment. After lunch, he took Lin Li to look for something on the street, and soon he found the information he wanted.
It was a telephone pole covered with various small advertisements.
What is finally saved, what is a lot of money to ask for a child, what is a dog search notice, everything.
Huang Ji pointed at the bottom of the telephone pole, a very inconspicuous, business card-sized advertising sticker of 'doing various graduation certificates and qualification certificates', and said: "You can contact this person to help me get a graduation certificate, and Medical license."
Lin Li nodded, pointed at the telegraph pole, at the height of the face, a particularly eye-catching advertisement that was also a fake certificate, and said, "Why don't you contact this company?"
"You can see that his introduction is more detailed, and the advertising paper is bigger than others, and the position is also very eye-catching. At first glance, it is the industry elite in the fake certificate..."
After hearing this, Huang Ji on the side couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Li thinks that the bigger and more eye-catching the small advertisements are, the more capable they will be.
But this is obviously a typical misunderstanding of thinking. After careful consideration, it is simply unreasonable.
"Isn't it right?" Seeing Huang Ji laughing, Lin Li couldn't help asking.
Huang Ji said with a smile: "The person who posted this advertisement really put his heart into it and grabbed the best position. The paper used is bigger than others. Maybe he checks it every day. If he finds that it is covered or torn off by his peers, he will Post it again, so we come over at random times and it's probably in the best spot."
"But it can only show that his technique of posting advertisements is better than others, and he knows how to publicize. What does it have to do with his ability to issue false certificates? Not to mention the industry elite."
"I even think he's out of class!"
Lin Li scratched his head, not knowing why.
Huang Ji said: "Let's put it this way, the person who posted the fake certificate advertisement so well has probably been arrested..."
"This..." Lin Li was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly understood.
The advertisement is so well played, the tree attracts the wind, and the business may be better than others for a while, but it is a violation after all, and it will not last long.
With such a high profile, even if he is not arrested now, he will probably be soon.
In comparison, posting your own small advertisement in an inconspicuous place is the real evergreen tree in the industry.
Even if it takes a long time to wait for a customer, it doesn't matter, the advantage is stability, and you can eat repeat customers and use customers to attract new customers.
The purpose of posting small ads is just to get the first customer.
People who can do this must be very confident in their skills, otherwise how can they eat
Conversely, people who promote hard work may be a manifestation of lack of confidence in technology.
Huang Ji said: "What's the use of being big? What's the use of being good at technology? No matter how good the technology is in making false certificates, the police won't arrest you? Business is good, the tree is big and the wind dies faster, and the long flow is the kingly way. "
Speaking of this, he was suddenly taken aback.
Lin Li was still nodding aside, but Huang Ji patted him on the shoulder.
"That's right... Species that are big, powerful, and diverse are not successful. Only by living long can they be truly successful. If you want to live long, you must adapt to the environment." Huang Ji said, thinking of the problem. Where are you.
Lin Li blinked and said, "Huh? False certificates will lead to the survival of the fittest?"
"There is no survival of the fittest, only the survival of the fittest." Huang Ji corrected: "The success of a species does not depend on its strength. You can't beat me, but can I say you are inferior?"
"On the contrary, species occupying a higher ecological niche are more likely to become extinct, because it is difficult for them to adapt to the environment!"
"Dinosaurs were powerful enough to occupy the upper-middle ecological niche, while the ancestors of mammals were very weak at the time and were at the bottom of the food chain. But after a disaster, all the dinosaurs became extinct, and the weak ancestors of mammals continued. Who do you say Which one is better?"
Lin Li scratched his head and said, "Yes... I remember, brother, but why are you telling me this?"
"It's nothing..." Huang Ji smiled, and began to deduce the extinction of the Central Plains elephant.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of mountainous areas were developed and forests were cut down. Wild elephants had nowhere to forage or hide, so they could only break into human habitats to eat crops.
Messed with humans, no doubt, pawns.
This is the reason for the death of the last elephant. It is not because humans are easy to kill, but because of the environment.
Yin merchants were indeed easy to kill, and killed a large number of wild elephants to obtain ivory, but they did not kill wild elephants for hundreds of years, which shows that they were also breeding, or hunting in a regular and restrained manner.
Yu Province was one of the most suitable places for agriculture at that time. The Duke of Zhou did not choose to kill the enemy's war elephants, but expelled them to the south. The reason for expelling them was to prevent the elephants from trampling on the farmland. At that time, Yu Province had been extensively developed. , not enough to feed so many wild elephants.
"The change in the environment is probably also due to human beings, but to directly define it as the cause of human beings, and then use this as a premise to combine clues in the literature is definitely not in line with the attitude of exploring history."
"The extinction of the Central Plains Elephant is due to the loss of habitat. Most of the loss of habitat is caused by humans, but it is due to the development of agriculture."
"No, agriculture is only a later process. It was the Yellow River that led to the mass migration and death of elephant herds earlier!"
Obviously, Huang Ji is also a top expert in the field of biology, but when deducing the extinction process of a species, he did not take into account the impact of the environment on the species.
It is really that he has just mastered the research methods of historians, and he really wants to find clues from the literature.
As everyone knows, there is a fart for light literature. Deducing the historical process of a thing must be considered from all aspects. The more knowledge used, the closer the result will be to the truth.
A simple historian cannot do ancient research, and all top archaeologists are also biologists and geologists...even anthropologists.
When Huang Ji understood this point, the past tense of information was opened.
"Concrete floor?" Huang Ji turned his head and walked into the nearby park.
In the park, he looked at the ground beneath his feet, right where he was standing, as if time was running backwards, and he was retracing its past!
"Hiss..." Huang Ji felt that his brain couldn't bear it, and quickly blocked most of the information.
He wants nothing but geological information, which relieves the pressure.
One hundred years... Two hundred years... One thousand years... Two thousand years... Two thousand and five hundred years... This is the capital of South Korea.
"Hiss, uh! Even if we only accept geological information, wouldn't it work in 2,500 years? What a fart geological change in 2,500 years!"
Huang Ji shielded it, and then the pressure disappeared.
"Huh?" Huang Ji soon discovered that he could still go back to ancient times, but the content was blocked.
When rehearsing the future, the reason why it is difficult to go back too long is because time is passing and changing every moment, so Huang Ji is under shock every moment, and the duration of the rehearsal is very short, and he has to faint.
But the past state of information will not change!
History is history, and even if the earth is destroyed now, so will history. The information that will not change, the perception is like this today, and the perception will still be the same tomorrow!
So he doesn't need to worry at all, history will not change anyway, he reverses the shield state to thousands of years ago, and then lifts the shield, there is no pressure at all.
Not to mention thousands of years, even billions of years can be reversed. The duration of the reverse is infinite, as long as you don’t receive information continuously for a long time.
The history is there, he is just querying, not deducing. This is not the same as the future state.
The only thing that limits him is the amount of information. He can only check the context roughly. If he knows too many details in a short period of time, he will get dizzy.
Huang Ji closed his eyes, and soon felt that four thousand years ago, there was a whole country here!
Where he was, the five senses around him were full of floods! The waves directly submerged here!
"You can't see anything just by looking at the geology, so let's be more open..." Huang Ji lifted the shield, and felt a severe headache for a while.
But correspondingly, he also knew what happened to the flood...
Three thousand nine hundred and fifty years ago, an earthquake hit the upper reaches of the Yellow River, forming a natural flood storage dam. Half a year later, the dam suddenly collapsed, flooding the middle and lower reaches.
Huang Ji kept micro-manipulating. In order to ensure that he could withstand the pressure, he searched for some information purposefully. If he didn’t want to know for the time being, he would block all the information. If he wanted to know, he would open the information.
Repeatedly, he gradually understood the real reason for the extinction of elephants in the Central Plains.
That flood continued intermittently and periodically for forty-two years, and even destroyed many ancient small countries.
The people in the middle and lower reaches of the basin were in dire straits, and their civilization suffered severe damage. Right under his feet, an ancient city was completely buried by floods and sand.
The Yellow River passes through Xinzheng. It can be imagined that the entire Henan Province is densely covered with water, and it will almost certainly flood during the rainy season.
"The old river channel has been washed away, and the flood has been intermittent, receding and coming, coming and receding... People are eager to manage it."
"So after forty-two years and three generations, it finally came into the hands of Dayu, and people finally managed it."
For their own survival, the people in this area followed the mountains and dredged rivers, dredged the floods, and adapted to the disaster.
Human beings are a species that will take the initiative to transform nature. This kind of wisdom is also part of human beings' adaptation to the environment, but they have adapted, and some animals that originally lived in the Yellow River Basin have become extinct.
The mutation of the ecological environment will lead to the extinction of some species that cannot adapt, and the species with a higher ecological niche will find it harder to adapt to the mutation of the external environment.
Elephants in the Central Plains, they were once the top of the food chain, and they have no natural enemies unless they are human beings.
Floods have a great impact on humans, as well as on elephants, directly causing the death of a large number of wild elephants.
However, this does not make them extinct. What really makes wild elephants extremely endangered is Dayu's flood control!
Dayu dredged the waterway, diverted the Yellow River away, and sent it to the north... so that most of the entire Henan Province is located in the south of the river.
This is not the point, the point is that he dredged mountains, artificially dug a large number of tributaries, and destroyed the habitats of many animals...
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have struck wild elephants in multiple stages within 42 years, and the environment has changed dramatically.
Wild elephants have survived two waves of baptisms in a row, and have survived tenaciously, but they have ushered in the third wave of chronic blows... Agricultural development...
Dayu's water control is undoubtedly of great help to the development of agriculture. Beside the artificially dug river, human beings have established their own new gathering areas and let the tributaries irrigate the farmland. This kind of water conservancy project has made agriculture advance by leaps and bounds.
But that doesn't help the wild elephants, it makes them desperate because they lose a large water source, and elephants have to drink a lot of water every day.
It is impossible for humans to allow them to be close to the river that irrigates the farmland, close to the water conservancy project that they spent three generations building with great difficulty...
At this point, Dayu controlled the water, Yu died in Kyushu, and designated the south of the river as "Yuzhou". However, on the fertile plains of Yuzhou where wild elephants ran everywhere, there were no traces of wild elephants. It exists in the mountains and forests until it becomes extinct.
Huang Ji never expected: "Da Yu, so it's you..."
"This is nature. To save our compatriots, we must harm other species. Some people cheer and others cry."
