Chapter 695
Time flies. Thousands of years, thousands of years, and hundreds of thousands of years have passed.
The Green Star Civilization has already left this starry sky and ran to other places to harm it. In this first stage, human beings walked out of the African savannah and gradually entered the Paleolithic age.
As a result, another intelligent civilization was born on Karina Star.
The second-age intelligent creatures, hemisphere civilization was born!
When Zhang Yuan saw this line of text, he couldn't help but eyebrows raised.
It is not uncommon for a planet suitable for life evolution to have developed two different intelligent creatures successively. 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. They will be in the distant future, if not Human intervention has a certain probability of evolving into an intelligent species.
This is not a joke.
These smart monkeys will use stones as their tools to 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 monkey may not be able to learn more.
These monkeys still have their own language, and the last step from intelligent creatures is just using flames.
If given enough time and a certain opportunity, the monkeys may be able to develop a real civilization in hundreds of thousands of years.
However, if humans on Earth do not perish, monkeys will never have a chance.
The reason is not that mankind is afraid of the emergence of another intelligent life and prevents 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, a society composed of monkeys will inevitably undergo involution, and society will stop progressing.
The mediocre theory of the universe is universal, applicable to interstellar civilization, and also applicable to the most primordial 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. Many people in the ball are now extinct, and the people in the hemisphere have survived hundreds of thousands of years in the Stone Age and are very fortunate to rise to the top. 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 also gave birth to brilliant civilizations, created their own language and characters, and established feudal dynasties.
But they face a very big dilemma-no fossil fuels.
There is no oil, coal, natural gas, and there is no combustible ice under the Sea.
No, nothing.
These fossil fuels were consumed by the multi-ball people of the First Era. After more than 100,000 years of trifling, it is basically impossible to give birth to any drop of oil or a piece of coal.
Without enough fossil fuels, 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 per year is fixed. Impossible is like coal.
Under these conditions, the accumulation of capital is too slow, and the development of science and technology naturally does not raise.
Hemisphere people who have not been able to enter the industrial age for a long time gradually become a A mediocre civilization...
They have been stuck 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 the contemporaries of mankind, it seems too long.
But long-term exploration can always accumulate production experience. In the long-term separation and combination, the idle upper class began to prefer some spiritual plane enjoyment, mathematics, art, and...archaeological culture.
Archaeological culture, the biggest variable of Karina Star.
In fact, in their daily lives, people in the hemisphere can often dig out strange things, the so-called "ancestral heritage."
There are some very strange things like rusty steel bars, concrete bricks and the like. The confused Hemisphere people have 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 hemisphere people who stayed in the feudal age for a long time have been There is no consciousness of treating them as treasures.
The common people picked up interesting rubbish, and directly smelted it with metal components, and sold it to merchants who collected antiques that seemed a little valuable.
The merchants then sold the valuable antiques to the nobles.
Comparing the antiques collected by the nobles with each other, they 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 ancient times? They knew what life was like in ancient times.
In particular, there has been no way to decipher all kinds of ancestral characters. The number of these characters is very large, which is 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 ancestors!"
"But...there was a super ancient civilization in the world, and they were far more developed than us!"
"What is this? Magic?"
"The place where we live is called the planet, and the planet is round! There is a universe outside!"
The discovery of this fact makes the hemisphere People were stunned.
Immediately after that, the news spread throughout the kingdom, and the nobles began to rush to looting antiques and collecting valuable things.
A vigorous archaeological action appeared on Carina. The fanatical hemisphere dug almost the entire planet three feet into the ground. In this high-oxygen environment, only some were buried under the ground. It is possible to save the shelter.
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 has dug up treasures and became rich overnight
Although the entire planet’s legacy has been lost a lot, the total number of them adds up to a lot. These crazy nobles even went overseas to make big purchases, and as a result they launched wars of aggression again and again to snatch the wealth of other countries.
But it is precisely these archaeological materials that provide a solid foundation for future development.
