Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 373: The mass extinction event

　　 Zhang Yuan sat in his seat, listening to a group of people complaining about the strange culture of Riley civilization, smiled and comforted: "Forget it, forget it, it's already a lot of money, it's not that bad. ……"

　　"How is the transaction going on this time? Are there any special reports about our diplomats?"

　　 Secretary-General Li Cheng who stood on the side replied: "It is still going on, and there are not too many twists and turns. The trade fair will go on until they can't get anything new. Our scientists are studying the delivery. It takes a long time for the alien animals and plants in China, and there will be no good research results for a while."

　　"As of now, a total of 422 sets of stainless steel tableware, 3309 pieces of metal weapons, 122 pieces of armor and 64 sets of primary production tools have been traded. The number of slaves traded is about 40,000 person-times..."

　　"There are probably nobles from 16 countries. From this transaction, they selected preliminary scientific knowledge."

　　 Those stainless steel tableware, metal weapons, etc. actually don’t matter. Zhang Yuan raised his head and said with a hint of fun: “Are there 16 seeds to be sown? Interested."

　　 Li Cheng said with a smile: "The main reason is that it is cheap...this knowledge is the cheapest in the transaction list. It can be exchanged for this knowledge for almost half the price of a small knife."

　　 However, the book doesn’t clearly state how metals should be smelted, how flames should be produced, etc., but "Mathematics", "Chemistry", "Physics", "Biology", etc. seem inexplicable Typeface. Because of the difference in language and writing, humans are too lazy to design specially for them. They just looked through the junior high school textbooks very roughly, and deleted some sensitive content, which made these books obscure and incomprehensible.

　　Another scientist explained: "There are also some fanatical religious people who take these books as gifts from gods and choose to buy them. They want to buy them home and use them as bibles... I don’t know these fanatics. I studied it deep and understood the meaning and what kind of expression it would look like."

　　 For a while, everyone felt a little funny.

　　 Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan sighed again, "However, how it will be applied is not within our jurisdiction...It is even more difficult for us to predict what will happen in the future."

　　 just such a little interference caused a global shock to the entire Riley civilization. Even if this change will stop immediately after human beings leave...

　　"The influence of higher-level civilizations on lower-level civilizations is evident."

　　"But according to the current observations to calculate and analyze, there is a high probability that even if these countries have acquired chemical knowledge, they will not use it."

　　Because there are too many religious restrictions in this civilization, flames are hailed as a symbol of gods. If chemistry can bring flames, how should traditional teachings explain this view? They will probably cover it up hastily, and nothing will happen.

　　In this era, the restrictions of religion are simply too big and a bit too much, and its restraining ability is stronger than that of human beings in the Middle Ages.

　　 Those who question the gods will be sentenced to death for blasphemy!

　　 "Even if the Riley people really discovered these facts, they would hide them and not use them... These guys are still fanatics, maybe they have schizophrenia directly!" Li Zhendong laughed happily on the side.

　　 Zhang Yuan denied: "That's not necessarily, every world has heroes. Don't think they are very ignorant now, but in the distant future, who can really predict?"

　　 These 16 seeds may indeed take root and sprout.

　　 Chemistry brings flames, and flames bring smelting and benefits.

　　Under the instigation of interests, there may be some new variables.

　　"Furthermore, the interests of this time are in the hands of the royal nobles. They have enough ability to fight against the deep-rooted theocracy. It depends on whether they are greedy enough and whether they can abandon their original thinking."

　　 "If all the seeds are dead, then there is nothing we can do."

　　 It will be difficult to predict what will happen next. Even if human beings have a new science of civilization, the science of prediction, this science must be based on massive amounts of information, and it is impossible to completely predict the future.

　　 Human beings simply don’t have the time to investigate this civilization’s industry, population ideology, etc., and it’s even impossible to stay here for hundreds of years to observe the subsequent historical evolution.

　　 "It's a pity! We can't see the result." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

　　 Everyone in the meeting room showed regret.

　　 At this moment, Dr. Li Cheng suddenly thought of something. He directly sent a report to Zhang Yuan’s mailbox: "Mr. Captain, here is a geographic report on the Riley Star. We seem to have made a major discovery. According to our scientists’ speculation, the Riley Star may be experiencing a mass extinction, and the Riley race may be completely extinct within one million, or even ten million years."

　　"So this group of scientists would like to invite you to participate in the next meeting to discuss related matters in this area, do we want to help."

　　"Especially Professor Ichiro Yamamoto, who is studying microbes that can degrade certain materials... You'd better go and take a look~ IndoMTL.com~ Zhang Yuan was taken aback, within one million to ten million years... …Total extinction?

　　What does this mean?

　　"Ten million years?"

　　 "Yes!"

　　 Although this period of time was very, very long, it was so long that humans might not exist anymore, but he was still taken aback and felt a little weird.

　　 He soon thought of some key words, such as the Ice Age, which led to the mass extinction of human ancestors, leaving only a few thousand people.

　　 Could it be that this planet is also experiencing a huge meteorological disaster?

　　 But it doesn’t sound like it, especially... What kind of microbes the genius Yamamoto is playing around? It doesn’t seem to have much to do with meteorological disasters, right? !

　　 "Go! Let's go over and take a look!"

　　……

　　Life in the universe is not a rare commodity.

　　What we have seen and heard along the way of mankind has gradually proved this point.

　　 Geographically, a planet that can develop life appropriately, as long as there is enough time to accumulate, all kinds of strange life will always be born.

　　 In order to explain this, people have put forward various explanations, such as "creation theory", "cosmic life theory", "chemical origin theory" and so on.

　　The view that is most recognized by current scientists is called "Chemical Origin Theory."
