Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 415 Look, this is an asteroid hitting the earth

Eisen and Hermione sat on the rocks extending outward from the mountain wall, eating dinosaur barbecue while looking at the mountain scenery.

"How's it going? I've seen all kinds of dinosaurs these days. What do you think?" Eisen looked at Hermione with a smile.

A gust of wind blew by, and the aroma of barbecue spread!Hermione couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Professor, you said that dinosaurs have lived on the earth for so long, why haven't they slowly grown in wisdom like humans?" Hermione bit off a piece of meat hard and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Well, this is a question worth pondering!" Eisen paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Eisen had never thought about such a question before, but now that he heard Hermione ask the question, after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the answer to this question was actually quite interesting.

In fact, it stands to reason that dinosaurs have lived on the earth for more than 1 million years, and they should indeed be able to evolve wisdom and develop into civilization.

As a result, dinosaurs really did not evolve wisdom during such a long period of time.On the other hand, human beings have embarked on the path of intelligent civilization in just a few million years.

So why is it so?
In fact, just compare the living environment of dinosaurs and humans.

You know, the reason why dinosaurs became the overlords of the earth may have something to do with their "ability", but the biggest reason is still because of the Carnian flood event.

It is said that for 200 million years before the rise of the dinosaurs, the climate of the entire earth was in a humid period all year round.It is precisely because of this abnormal climate that lasted long enough that species extinction occurred on the earth.

This abnormal climate complicates the earth's environment, or simply put, because the climate is humid enough, there is more rainfall.

When there is more rainfall, the plants growing on the ground must grow as high as possible to get more sunlight.

In this way, although some species became extinct, dinosaurs took advantage of them because of their huge size.

In addition, dinosaurs are huge and more intimidating than other beasts, so they naturally became the overlords on the earth.

In this way, since dinosaurs became the overlords of the earth and ruled the earth for 1.7 million years, they were extinct by an asteroid that landed on the earth.

There is a saying called natural selection, survival of the fittest!
To put it simply, species will evolve in the direction of adapting to the environment.

But to be honest, after dinosaurs became the overlords on the earth, they almost became a existence with "no worries about food and clothing".

They have no competitors and have lived leisurely on the earth for 1.7 million years.During such a long period of time, dinosaurs had no survival crisis at all.

Since there is no survival crisis, there is no need to evolve "wisdom" to help survive.

Instead, look at how our ancestors rose to prominence.That's really not an easy thing to do.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the various beasts living on the earth, as well as various harsh environmental tests and so on.As long as you think about this situation, you can understand that if human beings want to survive, they must adapt to the environment.

However, the living environment that humans face is extremely harsh. In addition, humans are very weak in size, far beyond the reach of wild beasts such as jackals, tigers, and leopards.So, how to adapt to the environment?
Obviously, human ancestors set a good example in evolving unparalleled "wisdom"!
With wisdom, human ancestors can think about how to survive. With wisdom, human ancestors can make various tools and so on.

In the end, the role of wisdom became more and more important, and human beings surpassed other species on the earth because of their wisdom, and finally developed an intelligent civilization to rule the entire earth.

Afterwards, Eisen briefly explained his thoughts to Hermione.

"It makes sense!" Hermione said as if she suddenly realized it. She nodded and changed the topic, "By the way, Professor, you mentioned so many types of dinosaurs, are there any dinosaurs that are actually magical animals?"

"It's possible, but-" Eisen pondered for a moment and then said softly.

"But what?" Hermione answered curiously.

"I think the greater possibility is that maybe after the end of the era when dinosaurs ruled the earth, some dinosaur descendants slowly evolved into magical animals!" Eisen expressed his speculation.

But in fact, Eisen observes the entire world all the time, has seen the entire history of the earth, and has a very good understanding of whether magical animals are born among the descendants of dinosaurs.

For example, some of the strange beasts recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", especially those that mention dragons, actually have many similarities to dinosaurs.

What?You said that the alien beasts in Shan Hai Jing are false and do not exist?Ahem, maybe it was like this in the previous life.But in this world right now, it's really hard to say.

For example, the phoenix raised by Dumbledore!

To be honest, Eisen had always thought that the bird next to Dumbledore deserved to be named Phoenix.After all, the phoenix is ​​so beautiful. In the movie, it is a magnificent mythical beast, how could it look like a chicken?

However, there is a sentence about the phoenix recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is a bird, its shape is like a chicken, and it is useless for writing."

You see, the turkey raised by Dumbledore might be a phoenix.Of course, maybe, probably, because Dumbledore's phoenix didn't have colorful wings, it might be a hybrid phoenix.

Of course, no matter how you say it, some things in this world always become specious because of magic.

"By the way, Professor, you said that the human living environment is harsher than the living environment of dinosaurs, so how about we go and take a look?" Hermione changed the subject.

"Human living environment?"

"Well——, the living environment of human ancestors!" Hermione said and looked at Eisen, "How about it, Professor! How about we go to the time point where human ancestors lived and take a look?"

"The point at which human ancestors survived?" Eisen put the roast into his mouth, chewed it, and looked at Hermione calmly.

"An ancient ape! I know, it will be tens of millions of years after the end of the era when dinosaurs ruled the earth!" Hermione wiped her mouth and said.

"Then, do you want to go and see it now?" Aisen clapped his hands and thought to himself. After cleaning up, he stood up.

"That's right, we've been shopping for several days in this era anyway, and we-" Hermione stood up and grabbed Eisen's arm, but she did pause before she finished her words.

"Uh, what's the problem?" Eisen stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth in front of Hermione's eyes.

"Professor, let's go and see that asteroid that fell from the sky first!" Hermione said, her eyes suddenly lit up.

As if she had discovered something interesting, Hermione suddenly became particularly interested.

"The asteroid that fell from the sky! The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?" Eisen said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"That's right, Professor, I haven't seen the scene of an asteroid hitting the earth, let's go and see it!" Hermione grabbed Eisen's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Ha! Don't say you haven't seen the scene of an asteroid hitting the earth. I'm afraid no one in this world has seen such a scene!" Eisen said with a smile.

"But Professor, don't you have the ability to take me through time and space? I think this is the meaning of time travel! Are you right, Professor?" Hermione hugged Eisen's arm and started coquettishly.

"Okay, you're right! I said before, I will take you wherever you want to go!" Eisen smiled, "So, are you ready?"

"Professor, get ready!" Hermione held Eisen's arm tightly and nodded vigorously.

"Then let's go!"

As Aisen spoke, his vision kept changing, with pictures appearing and then disappearing again.

From the free living environment of dinosaurs on the earth, to the continuous changes in climate, from land to ocean, to ocean to hills...

One species becomes extinct because it cannot adapt to changes in the environment, and another species gradually chooses another evolutionary direction because it adapts to changes in the environment...

The sun rises and sets, the stars flow!For a long enough time, dinosaurs, the overlords of the earth, still ruled the earth.

Until a certain moment!
In an instant, a certain picture appeared in front of Eisen's eyes.

Eisen's eyes were fixed, and as his mind turned, Hermione disappeared into this era.

……

This is a slightly silent jungle. A raised hill rises straight up from the jungle, giving you a panoramic view of this primeval forest.

At a certain moment, on a flat spot on the hill, two figures appeared out of thin air. It was Essen and Hermione who had come to this era.

"Professor, is this the era when dinosaurs are about to die out?" After appearing in the new environment, Hermione looked around, as if she didn't find anything strange.

On one side of the hill, the primitive jungle is a completely wild scene.

There are thick vegetation and intertwined vines. If you calm down and feel it carefully, you can also hear the sound of streams flowing in the forest and surging among the rocks.Occasionally, the chirping of insects and birds will be heard in the forest, letting people know that this forest is not completely silent.

Eisen's sight penetrated through the forest and landed on the ground, and he could find many traces of dinosaur life.Likewise, signs of gnawing on some vegetation are clearly visible.

In addition, Eisen also saw a huge and completely decomposed dinosaur corpse hidden deep in the jungle.

"That's right, the asteroid that hit the earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs is about to come!" Eisen said and looked up at the sky.

Without relying on the super perception of the authority of the five elements, Eisen can easily observe an asteroid with a diameter of ten kilometers flying in the vacuum environment outside the earth with only his eyesight.

Judging from its flight trajectory, its target is the Earth.

This asteroid is so leisurely, it looks like it is taking a careless walk in the universe, but for the Earth that is about to hit it, it is an unspeakable disaster.

Especially for the creatures living on the earth, this is a foreseeable extinction disaster.

If it were the era when Eisen and Hermione lived in later generations, humans might have used some methods to change the orbit of such a huge asteroid so that it would pass by the earth.

But in this era, when the overlords of the earth were still dinosaurs, they could only be baptized by asteroids.

"Professor, have you seen that asteroid?" Seeing Eisen looking up at the sky, Hermione couldn't help but look up.

"It's almost here, it probably won't take more than a few hours!" Eisen looked at Hermione's movements, stretched out his arms to hug her, and already shared the perspective with a thought.

"Professor, you can see so far, how do you do it?" After her vision changed, Hermione saw the asteroids heading towards the earth in space, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Magic is so magical!" Eisen said with a smile.

Time passed slowly, and two hours later, the asteroid passed through the vacuum zone and officially approached the earth.

Roar--

A rough and long roar came from the depths of the jungle and was heard by Eisen's powerful hearing. After a moment of thinking, he calculated from the Laplace Demon system that the roar was at least dozens of kilometers away.

Then, the sound became louder and louder, and then boomed, as if it caused countless dinosaurs to run.

But at this moment, it was still quiet around Eisen and Hermione.

Time passed slowly, and a few minutes later, the roars of wild beasts were heard in the jungle, and the chaotic but deafening footsteps reached the ears of the two of them.

This was a change caused by the roaring sound deep in the jungle. After a few minutes, this change had reached near the hill where the two of them were.

"Professor, what's going on?" Hermione couldn't help but grabbed Eisen's arm.

"Maybe it's the instinct of life!" Eisen said, his heart moved, and then his vision changed and his perspective continued to increase, settling on the outer space on the other side of the earth.

"Professor, you are amazing!" Hermione once again exclaimed after discovering the change in perspective.

boom--

The asteroid was the first to make contact with the Earth's dense atmosphere, and Hermione imagined the sound of the impact.

The moment it comes into contact with the Earth's atmosphere, the air in front of the asteroid is compressed and heated dramatically.Then, the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed out, rapidly rolling outwards with a supersonic shock wave.

Immediately afterwards, the asteroid penetrated a channel in the earth's atmosphere and rushed towards the earth without hesitation.

The heat generated by high-speed friction quickly accumulated at the front of the asteroid. The intense combustion caused by this caused the asteroid to begin to peel off its outer skin layer by layer like an onion.

What?You said the asteroid was burned up during the landing?
This is purely a joke, you know, its diameter is basically ten kilometers.Although it burned violently when it landed, the main body remained intact until it hugged the ground.

"Professor, aren't we going to do something?" Hermione felt unbearable as if she had expected the tragic situation that would happen to the earth next.

"This is history, we don't need to do anything!" Eisen shook his head slightly.

"Is our safety okay?" Hermione squeezed Eisen's arm.

"Of course there will be no problem. With my strength, I can definitely ensure that we are safe!" As Aisen said his thoughts, he saw an invisible shield covering the two of them.

A huge burning meteorite hit an offshore continent hard.

It's like a pebble thrown into a pond by a naughty child, causing countless splashes and ripples in circles.

Then this effect is amplified countless times to the scale of the earth, and certain special effects are added.

This is what Aisen and Hermione saw.

There was a roar that resounded across the sky and the earth, and the asteroid carried huge kinetic energy and almost shattered the earth's crust.Then, the kinetic energy rebounded, and the impact force squeezed together and quickly accumulated.

In an instant, more than 100 trillion tons of TNT-equivalent explosives explode with energy.

After the impact force squeezes and accumulates, a stream of molten material recoils from the ground and sprays into the sky, reaching outside the atmosphere, and then quickly falls back.

Some of the ejecta even broke away from the Earth's gravity, began to float in outer space, and revolved around the sun in irregular orbits.

A considerable amount of material will be blown by stratospheric air currents and spread to every corner of the earth.

Of course, this is only part of the disaster caused by an asteroid hitting the earth.

What Eisen and Hermione realized more clearly was that the moment the asteroid hit the earth, there was a huge shock, followed by tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

With Eisen's vision, he could clearly see that near the impact point, countless trees and animals that had no time to escape were directly destroyed by the terrifying shock wave.

"Professor - this is too scary!" Hermione stared at all this blankly, and couldn't help but snuggle into Eisen's arms.

"Yes, such a natural disaster is really shocking!" Aisen hugged Hermione and nodded.

However, in his mind, Aisen simulated it through the Laplace Demon System and found that even if he did not rely on the authority of the five elements or use the abilities of the five elements, he could easily use the fire spell to create the same power.

Such simulation results let Eisen know that his strength is indeed "invincible".

"Professor, where is the asteroid that hit the earth? Is it missing?" Hermione looked at it from Eisen's perspective and asked curiously.

"It should have evaporated!" Eisen said thoughtfully, "Such a violent impact, and then there was a strong reaction force, which directly tore the entire asteroid apart."

Eisen was right. The torn asteroids and the evaporated earth's magma blended and mixed, and then formed a huge smoke column rising into the sky.

Driven by the reaction force, the smoke column rushes out of the earth's atmosphere, then quickly falls back and collapses, and then mixes with the earth's air to form a condensed dust cloud.

The dust cloud spreads rapidly, and due to the rotation of the earth, this dust cloud will quickly cover the entire earth, and then bring huge disasters to all living things on the entire earth.

Of course, this huge disaster was devastating to the dinosaurs, the current overlords of the earth!

Well--

Maybe some small dinosaurs can adapt to the new environment, and then choose to evolve in another direction, and slowly become another magical animal!
Roar--

The beasts in the jungle roared more frequently, or in other words, they were not roars, but whines!

Standing on the hill, Eisen and Hermione could already see that the smoke and dust in the air was moving rapidly this way.Obviously, it won't be long before the virgin forest environment here will be destroyed and hit.
