Chapter 1434 Expectation

Watching these ape-human children at a very close distance create primitive myths full of childlike interest from scratch, and watching them create hieroglyphs from immature murals out of the need for complex narratives, Jiang Chanji seemed to have experienced time and space. While traveling, he saw not just a few ape-man infants, but human ancestors who were not just content with survival in the wild and dark primitive era, but were doing their best to expand the boundaries of imagination.

The reason why ape-man infants have made such rapid progress, surpassing in just a few months what took their human ancestors thousands of years to complete, is not because they are smarter than our human ancestors, but because they know the importance of writing in advance. and necessity, but the ancestors of mankind slowly realized it through ignorant exploration.

In addition, they have two innate advantages that our human ancestors did not have. First, they do not need to worry too much about survival for the time being. The firewood and ingredients are provided by Jiang Chanji and the others. As long as they stay in the fence, they will not be attacked by wild beasts; The second reason is that children have an innate advantage over adults in terms of imagination. The older they get, the more trivial matters they are involved in, and the more energy they are distracted by other things. They spend less and less time in imagination, and their imagination is also constrained. The more there are, just like the famous saying of a certain science fiction writer - the gravity of reality is too heavy, and any detached and flying thoughts will crash to the ground.

If they were not a few innocent children, but several adult apes, they would never have made such rapid progress. If several adult apes stay in a settlement, they will most likely determine each other's status in a more violent way, then compete for mates, then breed offspring, and then raise offspring. They are wary of others taking away their status every day, and are ambitious. If you want to go out to explore, or anxiously speculate on Jiang Chanji and the others' intentions, how much free time will you have to devote to your wild imagination? That will also disappoint Jiang Chanji and the others, which means that the apes will not have any exciting and interesting progress for a long time, and this is the best thing.

It will take ten years for them to grow up. By then, the current batch of babies will be in their early ten years. Their status among them has been fixed ten years ago. What is even more curious at that time is how they will What kind of social system should be adopted? Is it a matrilineal clan or a patrilineal clan? Is it group marriage or fixed spouses? Is it serfdom or some other new system that has never been born before human beings? Will conspiracy and rebellion break out among them? Will there be divisions within them due to differences of opinion? When will they step outside the fence and explore new horizons? Everything is so exciting.

As for the child who showed leadership qualities that Jiang Chanji and the others had always paid special attention to, they are still paying attention to it now, although it does not participate much in graffiti. It is more involved in arranging and coordinating the daily work in the settlement, such as Arrange who will take care of the baby and who will cook. Of course, it will also personally participate. After all, there is a shortage of manpower. It has shown a strong sense of responsibility and responsibility, and its position is very stable, but this does not mean that its position will always be stable. If it goes on, maybe one of its current followers will challenge it in the future.

It probably won't become the next ancestor of Homo sapiens or ape man. The expectations for it are too high, and times make heroes. The ancestors of Homo sapiens and ape man only made great achievements in troubled times. At present, it only needs Be a good "king of defense" and make every effort to avoid divisions and internal strife among the apes - of course they will not tell it these things. Even if it disappears from the rest of the world in the future, even if the apes are divided and infighting, there will always be consequences. A leader stands up, because the general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite.

However, there is one characteristic of it that is very noticeable, that is, it always likes to meditate. It sits on the highest point in the settlement, looking into the distance and meditating, showing maturity beyond its years - maybe it is yearning for freedom, maybe it is worried. In the future, I may miss the days of living in the base with Jiang Chanji and the others. Who knows, time will give the answer.

Jiang Chanji and the others were a little worried about whether it would lead the apes out of the fence before the time was ripe. If they were in danger of being wiped out, would they save them or not? Or will it be used in this way to force these "gods" who want to hide behind the scenes to reappear?

It's precisely because there's so much uncertainty that makes things so interesting.

Sometimes he would inevitably wonder, if Youqisi chose to stay in his body, was she also reliving the lives of these "primitive people" and finding it interesting?

It was late at night on an outlying island far away in the southern hemisphere of Noah's star. The apes were sleeping soundly. However, one baby suddenly woke up and started crying. Other babies in the same room were also woken up. The originally quiet settlement became lively. There was a toddler who got up from the bed, rubbing his eyes, making a paste with rice flour or something like that, and then went to feed and comfort the crying babies. When it passed by the corridor, it felt like there was a figure standing outside. It was taller than these children. There seemed to be strong light swaying. It fell in through the glass with low transparency installed by Jiang Chanji, and it was frightened. I jumped and almost threw away the paste I was holding, but when I looked carefully, I saw that it was clear and clear outside, and there was no one there. He must have been confused in his sleep.

Jiang Chanji had already entered the invisible state when it passed by the corridor, and turned off the flash that was used to take photos and videos on his mobile phone. This routine observation was almost over, and he was going back.

Today is the monthly Yuan Festival, and not only are they celebrating the festival today, there will also be invited guests from the earth. Although the guests all agree to abide by Noah's fasting system today, after all, they are guests from afar. , Jiang Chanji and the others deliberately arranged their arrival at noon, so that the guests would only have to fast for half a day. This would not only show respect for Yuan Yuan, but would not embarrass the guests too much.

But there was still a little time before the guests arrived, and he had one place to go before returning to the base.

He walked to the back of the house in the settlement, broke out of invisibility, quietly opened the teleportation channel, and disappeared from the island... He stepped out of the darkness with one step, and stepped into the light with the other.

The late night on the outlying island coincides with the daytime in the polar tundra, and it is also the extreme daylight of summer.

A huge figure sits quietly and alone on the vast tundra. It is a giant ape-man and Yuan Yuan.
