4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2350
'Booming--'
A fast-flying missile flew over the city with a roar of sound. It flew over the edge of the city and flew further away.
No creature knows where it will fly.
However, some creatures know about the missile's destination ... legend.
It is also a legend about "God". There is no such word as "God" in the dust crocodile language. Since the history of the dust crocodile, they have imagined a "natural phenomenon" that they cannot explain as a powerful ... creature, and then Sooner or later, I decided to surpass this ... creature.
There is only one god, it is not used to be surpassed ... Its legend was long ago, when dust crocodiles were very popular for adventure activities at that time.
They are constantly trying to find ways to travel to places where they could not go. Outside their territory, they are the kingdom of other intelligent creatures. If they go out of these countries, they will go to places with abnormal environments.
There is no oxygen in these places, the temperature is very high or low, and there are many changes in gravity, just like going to the void, and at that time, many dust crocodiles tried to go to these unknown places to find ... wealth.
Therefore, even if there are countless dust crocodiles died in a changing environment, there are still countless dust crocodiles continue to explore.
Legend has it that there was a team that made special armor at the time, allowing them to travel farther than other teams.
However, because this team was unable to find food and lost their direction, they could not return. During the journey, the armor worn by these dust crocodiles was slowly damaged. They could only continue to wander in the wilderness ... waiting death.
In the end, this team went to such a place in a state of confusion.
This place is called by them ... 'the most beautiful place', but it is said that the environment there is not so beautiful, it is a vast wasteland covered with sand.
The crocodile's aesthetics are similar to the virtual people. They all like shiny things, probably because living in a world without stars, the dust crocodile prefers things that shine.
So how did this barren scene make them like it?That's mainly because ... here is full of oxygen suitable for them, so they can take off their armor here to repair.
And the gravity is very low, allowing them to run briskly, and the temperature is also very suitable ... Of course, the most important thing is ... This expedition heard a ... 'sound'.
They followed the sound and finally found a huge ... tree in this gravel wasteland.
Although the world of dust crocodiles does not have such a tree as a creature, there are many similar plant species. The dust crocodile thinks it is a kind of plant creature, but it looks a little special ... No, it is quite special, except for the shape In addition, it has nothing like a plant.
It's more like ... a boiling monster.
It is as high as 100 meters, and its surface is like flowing lava, exuding high temperature and light, but the hot liquid does not spread out, but gathers together. When the dust crocodile saw it, the first time What they feel is fear, they want to escape quickly under this lava tree, but ...
The dust crocodile found out that the "sound" came from it.
After receiving its words, the dust crocodiles were very curious, and they also tried to communicate with this ... tree.
However, the tree itself does not answer their words, but instead speaks various words like self-talk, but the dust crocodile gets it in the "self-talk" of this tree ... Guidelines.
From the words of the tree, they knew that there were some cell creatures nearby, and the dust crocodile successfully captured these creatures, so they finally filled their stomachs.
Then, the dust crocodile got more guidance in the tree's words, for example ... the tree told them to repair some damage on the armor that they didn't even notice.
Tell these dust crocodiles, they can find some special 'treasures' here.
These treasures are shining ores, and dust crocodiles can be used to sell them at relatively high prices.
In the end, the tree told the dust crocodiles ... how should they go back, it means that as long as they follow some 'phenomenon' in the sky, they can successfully find their way back.
The strange thing is that from the beginning to the end, the tree has never answered any questions from the dust crocodile. Although the dust crocodile is constantly trying to communicate with it, it has not ignored it, but told it to itself. Dust crocodile all kinds of things.
Finally, the dust crocodile left the tree, and they successfully returned to the dust crocodile's kingdom according to the tree's guidance, because the treasure they brought made them a famous expedition.
However, this matter is not over yet. After the dust crocodiles returned, they were surprised to find that ... the "sound" of the tree still echoed in their thoughts.
However, this sound is not as irritating to creatures as the sound that cannot be guarded. In fact, the dust crocodile likes this sound very much, and this sound gives them a sense of security.
Moreover, the sound of this tree is indeed beneficial to them. It constantly guides these crocodiles, mainly about them ... social affairs.
This made the status of these dust crocodiles soaring. In the end, the dust crocodiles in this expedition all climbed to the high position of the dust crocodile's social status. They no longer engaged in adventurous work, but lived comfortably in the city. .
Therefore, these dust crocodiles are very grateful for this tree, they worship it, and promote a kind of ... doctrine, set up a church.
This may be regarded as the true and only denomination in the history of the dust crocodile. The dust crocodile has not worshipped anything before, but the scale of the confessions is not very large, and the teachings are not very extensive ...
However, the influence of this sect is very deep, because their core members are all high-level, and some even entered the military ...
To be specific, the church itself did not have any special influence, because they worshiped an object, there were no special rules, and there was nothing special to do. Later, the leaders of the church found that they recruited more members. The meaning of is not very great, it does not continue to collect, but maintains a certain amount.
The only thing their members expect is when the tree can guide it and let it climb to a higher position.
In this way, although the scale of the church is not large, it has continued. Only when a group of members go to leave, new recruits will be recruited, and the tree has been guiding them.
In fact, it is not always guiding, but it will take a long time to communicate with them a little, but it also ... proves that the tree is always there.
They continued until some time ... At that time, the tree suddenly said that it was going to sleep, at that time it would stop all guidance to the dust crocodile.
The members of the church group at that time expressed great shock. Some of them even wanted to go to the tree to see what was going on.
In fact, there are not many dust crocodiles looking for this tree, some heard rumors, some wanted to find treasures, and some church members wanted to witness this legendary tree.
It's just that none of them succeeded in finding trees, they were all lost in the wilderness ...
Then there was no dust crocodile.
Until now they have renewed their desire to go, but now the members of the sect are enjoying a comfortable life, and they also ... don't want to take risks, so they have been hesitating.
The tree also said that they do not have to come, but if there is any major crisis situation in the future, the dust crocodile can wake it up.
The tree gave the dust crocodiles a ... coordinate, which means that if you want to wake it up, you do n’t need to come in person, you just need to enter this coordinate into the missile and launch the missile, but the required number of launches is a little ... …many.
Because some dust crocodile believers were military at that time, although they wondered why they had to shoot missiles, they still recorded this plan. In the end, no dust crocodile had found the tree, nor did the tree sound. It sounded again.
It seemed to be completely asleep.
Because life is still so easy, the dust crocodile believers did not care too much, but this cult has continued, and the legend of the tree has never been interrupted.
Although various incidents such as large and small conflicts with other races occurred during the period, the dust crocodile did not wake up the tree because the tree required the number of missiles to be launched to almost move the dust crocodile's treasury to ... air.
Therefore, the tree has never been awakened.
till the end.
A major event really happened. When the invaders swept the country of dust crocodiles, when the dust crocodiles were frightened, the members of the sect also remembered the promise of the tree.
At that time, the dust crocodile customized a lot of "final tricks" program.
In addition to the solidified bloom known to all crocodiles, there are some other schemes, such as launching the most powerful missiles in the country ... Returning with all invaders, and then rebuilding by a few dust crocodiles protected in the "security fortress" civilization.
Or maybe it is to make a large spaceship to escape.
Waking the sleeping tree was also one of the planned plans at the time, but this plan was not supported because a large number of missiles had to be shot at the tree, plus the dust crocodiles planned at the time had only a few believers, non-believing dust crocodiles were all Not quite sure if this plan will succeed, they feel that even if it really wakes up a weird tree ... it's useless.
In the end, all the plans were rejected, and most of the other plans were not enough ... Well, the dust crocodile only adopted the coagulation and blooming scheme. Although the coagulation and blooming is still being tested, it is relatively the best plan. .
As for the tree, it was not forgotten.
At that time, the dust crocodile in the army entered the coordinates of the tree in some missiles.
