The sun and the moon continue to change.
Jiang Chen noticed that the monuments collapsed in the years, and the walls of the guardian monuments were destroyed in the flames of war. However, the only constant is that the prosperous fires still grow stubbornly, in the dark age of **** barbarism. Germination.
At this moment, the ball of light that had been silent for a while was gently shaken, and then it opened.
“I noticed that in your memory, the time of existence of your civilized matriarchal society is very short. However, in our civilization, the matriarchal society has only loomed a little loosely in the late Renaissance. However, from the dark age of **** barbarism The Renaissance, we have spent 20,000 years."
20,000 years!
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.
It took 20,000 years to transition from the dark ages to the Renaissance in 20,000 years...this is almost faster than the time of human civilization itself.
"You may be surprised that 20,000 years is too long for any living creature, but it is related to our living habits, there is nothing to elaborate on. There is nothing to see above, it will take you to Look down on the ground," said the light ball.
The picture has gradually changed.
Jiang Chen looked at the soil at the bottom of his feet, and the gravel collapsed. He looked at himself and sank to the ground. He crossed the distance of 10,000 meters and stood in an underground nest.
Surprisingly, he thought that it must be full of chaotic, can kill the hole of intensive phobia, but did not expect to appear in front of him, was actually a large stone paved pavilion. Tailored, solemn, sacred, bricks and tiles are full of civilized atmosphere and special aesthetics.
Markets, houses, military camps, all the functional facilities are connected by the tunnel to the central hall. For example, the stars and arches generally surround the mother nest, forming a three-dimensional city.
He didn't know where every tunnel was going, and he didn't know what each Gaia was doing, but from the busy pace of them, it was not difficult to feel the breath of prosperity.
"Whether it is a worker, a miner, a farmer, a soldier, or a civilian, they have acquired the same power after the death of the Revolution, and enjoy all the power from private assets to mating. The matriarchal society has come to an end, and it has surrounded The sub-sealing of the mother insects unfolded, and eventually collapsed in the flame of industrial leather."
"We used steel and oil to create a siege beast. It was able to slam in the ground, and all the fortifications became futile. Even the devil worm was just like a cockroach in front of it. The cavalry completely withdrew from the stage of history. Returning to the barbaric three-dimensional era, we began to learn to arm ourselves with machines, to replace the weak parts of our body because of evolution, and to destroy our enemies in the most efficient way."
"Although the barbarism has not changed, in this era, any Gaia has the same power, and the concept of equality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We write all this in our code... If you came to me a hundred billion years ago, maybe you I can still see the stone tablet, but now, nothing is left..."
"And the end of all this is the beginning of prosperity."
The mechanical shackles of the agitated earth disappeared, and the walls of the hall collapsed backwards. Thousands of spiral-like buildings like works of art springed up in the darkness, stretching its branches in the depths of several kilometers. Like a high-rise building of human civilization...
At this moment, Jiang Chen finally understood what he found at the 071 mine.
All the staleness of the family with the mother's nest as the core of the collapse of the community, replaced by a larger and more great empire. They completed the unification and connected all the cities together by rail and tunnel.
In the past tens of thousands of years of ignorance, the Gaia civilization has ushered in a golden age of prosperity and prosperity.
"It's incredible..." Through the gravel and gravel, Jiang Chen stared blankly at the black crowded "popular" on the spiral high-rise.
"I understand your surprise, probably just like I saw you appear in front of me." The light ball whispered, "If the big revolution. The life smashed the old thoughts, then the industrial revolution. The great unity of life is completely Let our civilization enter the golden age of prosperity. But this is not the best, the true best time is after a thousand years, we invented the nerve augmentation device."
“The nerves make the antennas on our heads stronger, our 'sounds' can be transmitted to more distant places. If you find it difficult to understand, you can compare its meaning to us to your internet. ""
Jiang Chen nodded.
He can understand this when he says this.
After all, he didn't have such a tentacles, and he didn't know how to turn his ideas into electromagnetic waves. The golden age that Gaia said is probably the same as the Internet era that Earth civilization entered at the end of the twentieth century.
The nerve augmentation device is based on Gaia, which is probably equivalent to a phantom helmet for humans.
All needs can be met in the virtual, all individuals have unprecedented happiness.
"If you want me to come over with people who have died for 3.7 billion years to sum up the differences between our two civilizations, I think it is probably an understanding of the word happiness. When we entered the 'nerve growth era', we The spiritual needs have been met with unprecedented satisfaction, and the rest of the unmet, probably only obsessed with the metal itself."
"I remember I said that we are extremely sensitive to the smell of minerals. This sensitivity has not changed in tens of thousands of years, we are immersed in the happiness surrounded by metal. For the pursuit of all metals such as iron ore, or Greed is probably the driving force behind the development of our civilization."
"And this greed turned into a deadly poisoned wine at the end."
Having said that, the sound of the ball of light brought a bit of emotion.
"Poisonous wine?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes," the light ball swayed gently. "I will take you to a look and you will understand."
Over the thousands of years, the picture has changed again.
There was a ripple in the air, following the footsteps of the ball of light. Jiang Chen crossed a transparent film and came to a spherical space made entirely of metal. In this spherical space, a machine with three-dimensionally distributed strange shapes is connected by an alloy skeleton.
"Light is watching, you may not feel it," the light ball said softly. "We are now standing on the core of Mars, and this planetary furnace is the greatest crystallization of our civilization."
"The planet...the furnace?"
Jiang Chen swallowed hard and spit.
He couldn't imagine how these species, called Gaia, actually dig through the planet 3.7 billion years ago! Even transforming the entire Martian core into a furnace for smelting iron or smelting other alloys, turning the entire planet into their factory.
Planetary furnace.
The word madness is not enough to describe their behavior...
Looking calmly at the shock on Jiang Chen’s face, the light ball continued.
"Our industry is very developed. The local shell can't satisfy our appetite. We have dug the mine hole into the mantle circle. The local cockroaches are not enough to meet our needs. We are aiming at the core. The core is rich in mineral deposits, iron. The elements here are like the ocean, even if we only draw a little bit from it, it is enough to make our civilization take a big step forward..."
Speaking of it, the light ball paused and sighed softly.
"But you also know that once something takes the first step, it will never stop."
"Time has weathered everything, and we have used hundreds of centuries of forged steel, all of which have been blown into iron filings. Have you seen the sand outside? Every rusty mottled gravel is the tears of Gaia... ”
