4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 4666 - Learning

They are learning about their history at .......

The civilized creatures seem to be too lonely to talk to the motionless shells about them.

Then the shells began to move.

They seemed to understand what the civilized creatures were saying, so they began to gather in the ruins of the civilized creatures' buildings.

They found the historical materials left inside and began to look at them. Text

The 'word' of this civilization is actually a kind of excrement, and like cellular organisms, they excrete what is left over from digestion, but they do not resent the excrement.

This is because their excrement is harmless to them and does not spread germs as easily as the excrement of cellular organisms, where most microorganisms live on the surface of the organism and very few in the body.

As a result, this group of civilized organisms developed the habit of using excrement as a language.

Initially, they represented things based on the similarity of their shapes, but later, through complex development, they were able to use this particular language to describe various things, and they also created recording devices to store knowledge.

The recording devices were much like compost boxes, and for this group of civilized creatures, each box contained a rich history of knowledge.

After the explosion of the Eternal Light, since they were no longer at rest, the excrement containing knowledge was also eroded by microorganisms, but much of it remained intact.

Because they digested what was left, most of the microorganisms did not eat much.

A large number of carcasses came to the underground historical archives, and they searched through the history, but ...... didn't do anything even when they saw the records, but just looked at some of them and then stayed there.

The civilized creature, on the other hand, was very happy with the behavior of the shells, which it thought could still move.

As long as there was a stimulus, it could get them to do something, and that stimulus was ...... education.

It began to teach these shells all kinds of things, in great detail, like how to use a limb, how to hold it, how to walk.

It was also very detailed because it realized that the shells themselves didn't know anything about it.

Everything the shells did was biologically related to the civilization, including the first steps of walking, and going to historic buildings to find things, which they didn't know how to do at first, but only bounced around indoors until the civilized creatures opened a box of information themselves to show them, and they followed suit.

The civilized creatures taught the shells all sorts of things, as well as how to use language and how to understand the ...... meaning of each piece of excrement.

The shells were amazingly unable to understand anything, but they could understand the words of the civilized creatures.

Of course their speech is not by making sounds, but by touching and making movements.

In addition to the general instruction, it talked with the shells about their ideals, mainly their future direction, and that the civilized creatures wanted to never have war again, and that they should devote all their energy to exploration.

Although there were no stars here, the civilized creature thought that there must be more creatures in faraway places, and that there might be worlds that would break into pieces like this one.

The civilized creature thought that if it kept on teaching, sooner or later these shells would become a normal creature and become its own kind.

However, it soon discovered something strange about these shells.

They would learn from it and do various actions, but many of them, including language and such, they would only do once and then they would not do again and would continue to be dazed.

Once the civilized creatures had taught them all kinds of "written" information, the shells once again gathered in the historical archives.

They began to study the information in the archives, and no matter what the civilized creatures said to them they would not leave.

It's just that they will now react to the civilized creatures' attacks, and if the civilized creatures hit them, they will fight back.

So the civilized creatures can only watch the shells ...... and study the data all day long.

In fact, they have little interest in the history of civilizations; they mainly study the ...... structure.

Like the way civilized creatures construct their shells, they learned it through research.

The shells began to construct more "similar" creatures, and they created a large number of shells, which moved by the contact of roots and whiskers.

Now they no longer needed to be taught by civilized beings and could learn new things on their own.

The civilized creature's initial expectation of them slowly turned to fear.

It began to fear what these things that looked exactly like it were.

Are they a whole new species? But why are they so keen to study and learn, unlike previous organisms?

As more of their kind were made from these shells, they began to march into the ruins of civilized creatures.

They were not interested in buildings, but just kept collecting materials from these ruins and piling them up in one place.

The civilized creatures discovered that they were collecting materials for the making of 'Eternal Light'.

The Eternal Light was a large explosive bomb, and they had collected a large amount of materials to make it.

However, most of them were not used, and the rest of the materials were now found by the shells.

The shells then started to make things out of these materials.

The civilized creatures were surprised to find that they were also making Eternal Light.

At the same time, they also made something else, which was a propulsion device.

This is a very common propulsion device, but in reality, civilized creatures have never built anything like it, and there is no record of it, but the shells did.

This was the result of the shells' own research into combining various materials for explosives.

It could be said that they had the ability to innovate, rather than just learn.

The main reason they made the thrusters was to attach them to the explosives.

The 'perpetual light' made by the shells is small, nowhere near as small as the original one that could affect an entire land mass, but they can make many of them.

Then they put thrusters on these small Eternal Lights, and fired the blasts into a black void.

It's as if ...... was trying to hit something with the blasts.

The civilized creatures watched these shells do this all the time until they ran out of all the materials they could use.

They probably made thousands of explosive shells and fired them.

Of course they got smaller and smaller as they built them, and they were only after quantity.

In addition to the materials they found in the cities, they also dug in the wild, but could not use much material.

Civilization has been watching them do these things, and it doesn't know why they are doing it.

The only thing it could think of was that it had spoken to the shells about its ideals and thought that there might be creatures out there in the darkness.

So what were these shells doing attacking other creatures?

It does look like this.

Because soon after it saw the ...... alien creatures.

You could also say it was an alien world.
