4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1200 Frozen Historical Observer
Life freezing technology, this technology seems to be too immature for the virtual people.
But this creature is very good at this technology, for example, the creature in front of Lin is like this.
It has 'saved' for a long time in this place.
It's so long that it has forgotten how long it has passed, but according to Lin's speculation, it may have been hundreds of years ...
Moreover, it is indeed the 'culprit' of all this.
"That is to say, here is your plan?" The disc asked the hairless creatures in front of the cultivation tank.
"Yes, I'm one of the people in charge of the" refuge plan "..." The creature is no longer surprised by the disc, and Lin and it can communicate well.
However, this creature's emotions are full of despair and helplessness, and it feels like Lin is 'it doesn't matter' anymore.
But it was still willing to tell Lin something.
"I don't know where you came from or what kind of species you are ..." The hairless creature looked at the disc and said: "But there is a life that can talk to me and understand our history makes me very happy. of……"
"Our race has lived here for a long time, but we are not a native species here." The hairless creature's hand moved a little, and suddenly made a beep in front of it, showing on the wall behind the cultivation tank Up the image.
In the image, Lin sees a huge city, and feels very similar to the city hundreds of years ago.
"Our race once lived in a green world, but I don't know much about the situation there, because I grew up here." The hairless creature trembles and raises its hand. As its hand moves, the image The scenery changes accordingly.
Lin feels that it is weak now, probably because of long-term freezing. Although she has retained her life, her body will become quite fragile.
"I entered a research institute at that time ..." Hairless creature said: "The purpose of this institute is to avoid a possible war, so I plan to build a refuge underground."
The disc questioned: "You knew early on that there would be war?"
"Yes, we found out very early that something will invade us." The creature said: "But in fact, I didn't really believe it until the time they appeared ..."
As it said, the image behind it also began to change, and it was possible to see huge objects appearing above the city, where everything was destroyed."
Is that ... ferrous metal?Lin saw that the objects appearing in the image were square, but not very clear.
"Because of that war, we hid in an underground refuge." The creature said: "At the same time, I also became the governor of this place."
"Originally we thought that after the war, we could leave the shelter and rebuild our home ... But the war made the environment above worse and worse, making it impossible for us to leave the shelter, and there were some problems with communication, It makes it impossible for us to contact other shelters. "
"But the biggest problem is ..."
The following image suddenly became an underground refuge environment. In the picture, you can see a large number of hairless creatures inside. It seems that the refuge is still operating normally at this time.
However, none of the creatures inside seem to be very spiritual.
"The dramatic changes in the environment have been greatly affected even in the shelter." It said: "Even if we have heating devices that can be used for a long time, the environment is still getting colder ..."
"Therefore, I implemented my plan."
After it finished, the following image showed a large number of thorny balls.
This ... should be a virus.
"Do you know the word?" The hairless creature said to the disc: "We call this kind of thing a 'virus'. You say your language follows the hairy biology society above, so you may not have heard the word." . "
"I haven't heard it," Disc said. "But I know exactly what you mean."
"Okay ..." said the hairless creature: "In short, I originally customized a plan called the" rapid adaptation plan "because at that time although the environmental changes had not caused us much impact, but I know If this continues, our race will slowly perish. "
"We need to adapt to this environment quickly, but that is something that can't be done in a short time ... but fortunately I have a way."
"The research institute I entered at the time had plans in this regard. We developed a virus that was taken from an ancient creature." The hairless creatures in the cultivation tank tried to turn their bodies and look at the image behind Tao: "The virus shown here is that ..."
"This virus has become a special species through multiple mutations. It can stimulate our race to quickly adapt to the surrounding environment." The creature said: "And I had some samples of this virus at the beginning."
"I think that only through this method can our population survive, so ... I injected these viruses to some refuge residents without their knowledge ..."
The disc questioned: "So, do they grow hairy?"
"Yes ... this virus is infectious, and the residents here are infected." Hairless creatures said: "Except for me, in fact, I had already blocked myself in this place. I used the latest freezing technology to block myself Enclosed in this cultivation tank, because I am very old, but I still want to see their subsequent changes, so I did this, I set the cultivation tank to wake me up at a certain time, so I You can see the process of continuous change of residents here. "
"The initial changes made me very satisfied. The residents here have grown hairs to withstand the cold and even adapted to the air here ... However, I found no side effects."
"You have also discovered that we eat something called" non-greasy bacteria "here, and the biggest benefit of this kind of thing is that it will not make the consumer feel" greasy ", even if it has been eaten all the time. There will be no objection. "Hairless creatures said:" Originally these bacteria are harmless to us, but it seems to have an impact on residents infected with the virus ... This makes their intelligence lower and lower, "
"They slowly forgot how to make machinery, how to repair, and finally how to use it. This effect is more obvious from generation to generation." Hairless creatures said: "I want to save it, but there is no way ..."
Disc asked: "Later they left this place?"
Hairless creatures said: "Because they adapted to life here at that time, the number became more and more, because the space was crowded, they wanted to open up more living space deeper, but in the process of digging down In, they dug out a creature ... "
"This creature is not the same structure as us, but it seems very angry to see us. They killed most of the residents. The remaining residents started the excavator and fled outside the refuge." Hairless creature road : "Because the excavator already has the program setting for excavating the" cave dwelling ", it will automatically dig a cave passage suitable for living on it."
"And that creature didn't continue to chase down the residents of the refuge ... and hid back to the ground."
"Is this the whole process?" The disc took out the video installation and said: "You also made this?"
"Yeah, I let every generation of governors record some things in." The hairless creature said: "I also basically use this and the monitors around the shelter to understand what happened when I slept, but this thing last Hidden video, I added it the last time I woke up ... "
"At that time, my compatriots were unable to understand these mechanical items, but I was still looking forward to it. I was looking forward to some special circumstances, which residents might recover their intelligence, and then find this thing, see the hidden video and find me again, But ... "The hairless creature looked at the disk and said:" I didn't expect it was an alien creature who discovered the video. "
"But it doesn't matter anymore ..." The emotions of hairless creatures are getting lower and lower: "As you said before, our population ... seems to have reached the edge of extinction ..."
"That's it ... forget it, I will fall into an eternal sleep, even if it is frozen dormant, my life is about to end ... and our population is extinct ... there is a creature that can remember us, and I also Satisfied. "
It turns out that this hairless creature seems to have completely given up hope ... Although it looks very 'young', in fact its body may be difficult to continue to support, but they may not be the last group of creatures ... …
As it says, there are also refuges in other places, and there may be other refuges for all living things to survive.
"There may be more than one kind of creature remembering you." The disc stretched out its tentacle, holding a virtual coin in the tentacle and handing it to the hairless creature: "Is this you?"
"What?" The hairless creature exclaimed: "Where is the currency?"
"There is another kind of creature that remembers you." Disc said: "They may have been living together with you."
Hairless creatures asked: "How is it possible ... Have you ever seen them?"
"Yes, like you, they are also threatened by war." Disc said: "And it is probably the same species that attacked you ..."
"What?" Hairless creatures startled, "They were also attacked?"
"Yes, but they are not extinct yet." Disc said: "You said before, you discovered the war ahead of time, tell me, how did you find it, this may help to defeat them ..."
