Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 438: Convergent civilization
This old Lin family house in Liuye Alley was passed to Lin Shuo, and it has gone through more than a hundred years of ups and downs, and it is an old house.
A few years ago, Lin Hechun renovated once, and recently took advantage of Lin Shuo's wedding, and took advantage of Lin Shuo's wedding.
The house is not big, and the two-story masonry building looks similar in appearance to the homestead of an ordinary countryman. It is not outstanding, but there are things inside.
On the first floor of the restaurant, the tables, chairs and screens are made of small leaf red sandalwood, and the cups used by everyone for drinking are all Jun porcelain made with retro Song Dynasty craftsmanship.
Everything here is antique and harmonious, which makes people look familiar and pleasing to the eye, but the topics on the dinner table were suddenly brought to an unknown area by Miao Guangqi.
Nine Dragons, this is the biggest taboo in the hunting gate for thousands of years.
This topic is so secretive that even the Kowloon family with the hunting door is not known to the world.
At present, two of the people sitting on the table are the supreme inside the door, and the others are also the core figures of the hunting door. Even if these people talk about this topic, they must be extremely careful.
Cao Yusheng waved his hand, stopped Miao Guangqi's words, stood up by himself, closed the front and back doors of the restaurant, and closed the curtains again.
These actions may not have any effect in fact, but after doing these, Cao Yusheng feels quite relieved.
The old hunter's master, sat back in his original position, picked up the hip flask, and filled it with Qin Xiangyang.
Cao Yusheng knew what Miao Guangqi was about to say, because the two had discussed this topic privately before.
The ancients simply couldn't understand what kind of existence the Nine Dragon Beast was, but now, with the continuous accumulation of human knowledge, it is somewhat eye-catching.
At least, I am qualified to guess.
As for the results of the discussion between the two, Cao Yusheng has been secretive, even Lin Shuo did not tell.
Because even Lin Shuo, in Cao Yusheng's opinion, there is no need to know these things.
This kind of thing that can't be dealt with at all, if you don't know it, then you don't have to worry about it.
However, since Miao Guangqi wanted to say it, Cao Yusheng would not stop him either.
I thought this matter, sooner or later, I still have to talk about it.
Furthermore, in the final analysis, this is only Miao Guangqi's conjecture. Whether this is really the case remains to be verified.
Just listen to what Miao Guangqi said to Qin Xiangyang:
"The vast majority of all living organisms currently known, at the level of energy, stay at the level of biochemical energy.
Very few species, such as the Dover Demon, have evolved some applications of electromagnetic waves and the ability to directly convert petroleum into body kinetic energy, but this is still at the level of chemical energy after all.
And why the seven-color muntjac is so strong, it is because this species, according to the current intelligence, should be the extreme evolution of organisms under natural conditions. Biochemical energy has been used to its limit.
We humans are an exception in a sense.
Through the accumulation of knowledge and social collaboration, we can now initially use nuclear energy, that is, atomic energy.
Under the big picture of energy utilization, human beings, on the whole, are of course stronger than other beasts and alien species.
However, if we put aside social cooperation and only consider our individual human beings, then even Lin Shuo and I, including your brother Qin, are still stuck at the limit of biochemical energy.
This is also the end of all life on earth under natural evolutionary conditions.
To break through this end point, we need to develop civilization, establish a knowledge transmission system, discover new forms of energy, and learn how to use it.
Jiulong, obviously should have crossed the end of this natural evolution and reached a higher level.
The energy utilization methods they currently master are superior to humans.
This kind of existence is completely incomprehensible until mankind has truly developed science and realized the level of energy use.
So, regardless of the Yun Family Patriarch of the Hunting Gate, or the nine ancestors of your Seake Alliance, they just regarded them as nine extremely powerful alien species of beasts.
In fact, they are nine civilizations. "
When Miao Guangqi said this, everyone present except Cao Yusheng and Lin Shuo took a breath.
Suddenly the needles fell on the dining seat, which seemed to be digesting Miao Guangqi's conjecture.
Miao Guangqi looked at his son-in-law Lin Shuo and said, "Lin Shuo, you don't seem to be surprised."
Lin Shuo smiled: "When I was drinking with Yang Tuo before, I talked about this. Yang Tuo also said the same, I think it makes sense."
"But..." A
e said, "Apart from us, are there other civilizations on Earth?"
"Naturally, there are." Miao Guangqi said while pointing at Dilan's belly, "For example, King Mountain, this is an example.
Just give this species some more time, it is very likely to evolve into civilization.
It’s just that it’s not very lucky. At this point in time on Earth, our human civilization emerged one step earlier.
So, it had nowhere to hide under my microscope, and was finally strangled in the cradle by me. "
After saying this, Miao Guangqi paused for a while and continued: "In recent decades, many people have focused their eyes on searching for other civilizations in the sky, hoping to find aliens.
A variety of conjectures emerge in an endless stream, the most famous of which is the Fermi Paradox.
In my opinion, things in the sky need to be paid attention to, but things on the earth need to be understood even more.
The oldest rock ever found on earth, 4.3 billion years ago.
The age of the earth is at least 4.6 billion years.
Our current entire planetary ecosystem, tracing its roots, is the Cambrian explosion of life 530 million years ago.
The most basic life that appeared at that time, through cruel natural selection and survival of the fittest, became our biome today.
The Cambrian is also the limit of the current biological fossil archaeology, and there will be no further.
But, from the birth of the earth to the Cambrian explosion, more than four billion years, is there really nothing?
Based on the objective existence of "Kowloon", I have two conjectures about the source of Kowloon.
First: Kowloon is a prehistoric civilization, this prehistoric is the prehistoric of mankind.
After the Cambrian explosion of life, until we humans appeared, in the long years of more than 500 million years, countless species have stood at the top of the biological chain.
Current fossil research can only reveal the tip of the iceberg of biological evolution, and many doubts have not been solved yet.
And those species that stand at the top of the biological chain may have developed civilizations and have energy utilization capabilities beyond the current stage of our humanity.
It's just that under the erosion of the years, the traces of these civilizations have been erased, or there are obviously traces, but we humans still can't understand it.
Second: Kowloon is still a prehistoric civilization, but this prehistoric is the prehistoric of the current earth creatures.
Before the outbreak of the Cambrian, there may have been several life birth processes on the earth, and the result of these several life evolutions is the current "Nine Dragons".
In short, Kowloon is a prehistoric civilization. Although they are the result of the evolution of life on the earth in the same latitude as us, their time latitude is far behind ours.
If it's the former, it's okay, because it's the result of the Cambrian explosion. Everyone has the same family and has genes, so we should barely be able to communicate.
If it’s the latter, it’s troublesome. It’s actually no different from aliens. "
"If your instructor's conjecture is true, why did these civilizations finally become the form of "Nine Dragons"?" A
e asked again, "What kind of state are they like this? Is the civilization still developing or has been destroyed? At present, Kowloon is only nine ruins?"
"This, it's even harder to say." Miao Guangqi shook his head, "I said, the origin of Nine Dragons, this is a guess in itself, it is not certain whether it is like this or not.
If you think about it further, it will be even more useless and there are too many possibilities.
But anyway, in my understanding, the current form of civilization in Kowloon is a convergence rather than a diffusion.
They currently exchange very little energy with the external material and have relatively little impact on the earth's environment.
So, there are two more possibilities.
The first is what Nianqiu said. This is the tomb state of civilization. Civilization has been destroyed or transferred. At present, Kowloon on the earth is only nine ruins.
The other kind, this is the extreme defense state of civilization, and it can also be understood as a latent state.
Under certain pressure, they had to abandon the expansion of civilization, at least, to abandon the expansion of civilization on the earth and converge in the body of Kowloon.
They may be waiting for death, or they may be waiting for a chance to fight back. "
After all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Miao Guangqi's words were something Lin Shuo had never heard from Yang Tuo before.
Obviously, Miao Guangqi wanted to go deeper than Yang Tuo about Kowloon.
But this is no wonder, after all, Yang Tuo was a temporary topic on the wine table at that time, and the content of the topic has exceeded his professional scope.
Yang Tuo just made a bold hypothesis as a scientist, and has not studied it in depth.
Miao Guangqi is thinking about this problem, obviously it's not a day or two.
And when Miao Guangqi brought the topic here, Lin Shuo naturally thought of "Earth Bodhisattva".
He has a very strong feeling that there should be a connection between "Nine Dragons" and "Earth Bodhisattva".
As for what the connection is, Miao Guangqi didn't go on, and Lin Shuo didn't ask.
Because the conjecture has reached this point, it can no longer continue.
Various possibilities are too great, and the current information is seriously insufficient, which will greatly interfere with the direction of future actions.
If you want to understand these things, you will definitely need on-site surveys, and maybe you will have to "hunt" something at the level of Kowloon.
And these are obviously not things that Lin Shuo will deal with in the near future, after all, there is still a big deal on Borneo.
Speaking of Jiulong, it ended temporarily. Lin Shuo looked at Qin Xiangyang who was sitting next to him.
The general leader of the Seaker Alliance, he hasn't talked much just now, and now he is even more confused, obviously he didn't understand much.
It’s no wonder that the old man, don’t look at the dragons and tigers, but in fact it’s more than 70~IndoMTL.com~ Let him watch the charts, watch the stars, set a route, or kill some strange animals on the sea. This old man is a good hand, and his ability is not much worse than that of Miao Guangqi today.
But when he was eight years old, he followed the previous generation of chief leaders to go to sea, and his cultural level was barely able to literate and hyphenate.
The ability to do it all comes from oral teaching. What Miao Guangqi said just now is obviously outside of his field of expertise.
"So say this Kowloon..." Qin Xiangyang cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice, "Sure enough?"
"Hmm!" Lin Shuo nodded vigorously, "Extremely powerful."
"Okay, I understand." Qin Xiangyang said, "I will look back and greet the boys, and stay away."
"Yes, that's what it means."
Lin Shuo doesn't care about it anyway, as long as the effect is achieved.
