Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 686: Ancestral Legacy
Time flies, millennia, 10,000 years, 100,000 years have passed.
The Green Star Civilization has already left this starry sky and ran to other places to harm it. At this stage, mankind walked out of the African savannah and gradually entered the Paleolithic age.
As a result, another intelligent civilization was born on Karina Star.
Second-age intelligent creatures, hemisphere civilization was born!
When Zhang Yuan saw this line of text, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.
It is not uncommon for a planet suitable for life evolution to have developed two different intelligent creatures one after another. Just like the little earth, Homo sapiens, also known as humans, is a relatively definite intelligent species.
But humans are not the only intelligent species.
Just like Thai macaques, West African chimpanzees, Brazilian black-banded capuchin monkeys, and white-faced capuchin monkeys, these species may have transitioned to the Paleolithic age. In the distant future, if there is no human intervention, There is a certain probability of evolving into an intelligent species.
This is not a joke.
These smart monkeys will use stones as their tools, smash nuts, dig dirt, and store things. That is, they have a certain learning ability.
The use of stone tools is not natural, but acquired through social factors. Give them more time, the monkeys may not be able to learn more.
These monkeys also have their own language, and the last step to intelligent creatures is just using flames.
If given enough time and certain opportunities, the monkeys may be able to develop a real civilization in hundreds of thousands of years.
However, if the humans on the earth do not perish, the monkeys will never have a chance.
The reason is not that human beings are afraid of the emergence of another intelligent life and prevent them from developing. But... the ecological environment of monkeys is completely controlled by humans. They can only live in the same environment forever and cannot survive beyond their habitat.
When the environment is extremely stable, there is no mobility, which means that there are no variables. As long as the monkeys maintain their current lifestyle, they can live well. In this way, the monkey society will inevitably undergo involution, and society will stop progressing.
The mediocre theory of the universe is universal, applicable to interstellar civilization, and also to the most primitive monkey natives. Ease and satisfaction are the factors that are most likely to lead to mediocrity.
So, the development of civilization requires internal factors as well as changes in the external environment. If there is no change, you have to look for changes yourself. This is also the main reason why the new human fleet is constantly wandering in the universe.
Closer to home, the second-age intelligent creature hemispheres appear in this world. They are close relatives of the multispheres. Now the multi-ball people are extinct, and the hemispheric people have been lucky enough to rise to the top after hundreds of thousands of years of the Stone Age. However, due to the same age, they did not know that there was ever a first era of wisdom civilization.
With the development of the times, the people of the hemisphere have also born brilliant civilizations, created their own languages, and established feudal dynasties.
But they face a very big dilemma-no fossil fuels.
There is no oil, coal, natural gas, not even combustible ice under the ocean.
No, nothing.
These fossil fuels were consumed by the multi-ball people of the First Era. In a mere tens of thousands of years, it is impossible to give birth to any drop of oil or a piece of coal.
If there is not enough fossil fuel to overdo it, people in the hemisphere can be miserable. No matter how smart they are, they cannot enter the industrial age. The cost of relying on plant burning to provide energy is too high. The production of charcoal requires a large number of people to mine it, and the productivity is limited. After all, the growth of plants depends on photosynthesis, and the total amount of growth every year is fixed, and it is impossible to ask for something like coal.
Under these conditions, the accumulation of capital is too slow, and technology naturally cannot develop.
Hemisphere people who have not been able to enter the industrial age for a long time gradually become a mediocre civilization...
They have been staying in the traditional handicraft era. Hemisphere people can use charcoal to smelt some metals, but the cost is too high and it is very difficult to further large-scale steelmaking.
The large-scale steelmaking is one of the very important conditions for industrialization.
This sluggish era has lasted for at least 50,000 years. Many historical materials have been lost. Compared with human contemporaries, it seems to be too long.
But long explorations can always accumulate production experience. In the long-term separation and recombination, the idle upper class began to prefer some spiritual enjoyment, such as mathematics, art, and...archaeological culture.
Archaeological culture, the biggest variable of Karina Star.
Actually, people in the hemisphere can often dig out strange things in their daily lives, which is the so-called "ancestral heritage."
There are some very strange things like rusty steel bars, concrete bricks, etc. The confused Hemisphere people always thought it was the traces of life left by their ancestors, and would store these things.
Karina Star is an oxygen-rich planet. In a long time, oxygen has corroded most of the first era heritage. Therefore, the hemispheres who have stayed in the feudal age for a long time have not regarded them as Baby's consciousness.
The common people picked up interesting rubbish, and directly smelted it with metal content, and sold it to merchants who collected antiques that seemed a little valuable.
The merchants then sold the valuable antiques to the nobles.
The nobles compared their collections of antiques with each other, and suddenly discovered that modern arts and crafts are not as refined as the ancient ones. This fact makes them puzzled.
The handicraft industry has developed to the present, why is it still inferior to the ancient times? They knew what life was like in ancient times.
In particular, there has been no way to decipher the various ancestral characters. There are a lot of these characters, which are completely different from the ones they currently use. Under curiosity, some idle aristocrats began to organize manpower to decipher these words.
It wasn't until an archaeological expert initially deciphered the language of "ultra-ancient civilization" that the entire upper class suddenly realized!
"It's not our ancestor!"
"But... there was a super ancient civilization in the world, they were far more developed than us!"
"What is this? Magic?"
"The place where we live is called the planet~IndoMTL.com~The planet is round! There is the universe outside!"
The discovery of this fact stunned the people of Hemisphere.
Immediately after that, the news spread throughout the kingdom, and all the nobles began frantically looting antiques and collecting valuable things.
A vigorous archaeological operation appeared on Carina. The fanatical hemisphere dug almost three feet of the entire planet. In this high-oxygen environment, only some shelters buried in the ground are available. May save.
Just like digging an ancient tomb, every time one is excavated, it is a big harvest. Everywhere you can hear the news that so-and-so dug a treasure and became rich overnight
Although the heritage of the entire planet has been lost a lot, but the total number of them adds up, it is a lot. These crazy nobles even went overseas to make big purchases, and because of this they launched wars of aggression again and again to **** the wealth of other countries.
But it is precisely these archaeological data that provide a solid foundation for future development.
