-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"We've reached the edge of the city." Just as a few people were walking on the road in the city that was big enough for two cars to drive side by side, Qiyana suddenly heard Bunonia next to her say abruptly.

"Have you reached the edge of the city?" Qiyana was taken aback. "What about the city wall? What about the buildings? Except for the road, it's quite wide. I didn't see anything else."

"If what Qiyana is looking for is a building." Bunonia pointed to a white crumb-like thing beside the road in the eyes of everyone. "That's it."

"You said that was a building?" Kiyana's eyes widened. "Bronia, it's okay to call me stupid, but you point to a pair of limestone and tell me it's a building. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Wait, Kiyana." However, Ji Zi looked at those white crumbs with a thoughtful expression on his face.Then he turned on the thermal imaging device to make sure there was nothing ambushing inside and around, and then strode over.He knelt down and picked up a handful of those white crumbs with his fingers, put it next to his nose and kissed it, and then his face changed slightly.

"It's really a building."

Except for Bunonia, Kiana and Raiden Mei all showed surprised expressions.

"This is straw." Ji Zi patted the powder on his fingers and stood up again.Looking at the sea in the distance, apart from the pile of independent things in front of her, there are large stretches of white debris on both sides of the road.

"It was originally a thatched house built with straw."

"Bronia." The red-haired Valkyrie first glanced at the pile of white powder that stretched for several kilometers on both sides of the surrounding road, and looked back at Bronia behind her with a serious face. "Check the activity of microorganisms in the soil."

"receive."

Buonia was obviously taken aback when she heard this question, but she still answered quickly.Manipulated the detector to carry out a series of reactions.Then the expressionless face of Wannian showed a clear look of shock.

"Soil conditions are favorable for microbial growth. But... the soil has no microbial response..."

"I knew it..." Ji Zi was a little silent, his expression became heavy, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the city center in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It seems that we will not encounter enemies along the way."

"Why?" Kiyana still didn't understand what the two of them meant.

"There is no wind, and there is no life here. It is a real [dead land]. Animals, plants, and microorganisms do not exist, and even protein activity does not exist." Jizi's expression is solemn.

"So in this case, even after tens of thousands of years, it can still maintain a high level of integrity. Because there is no organic matter here. All erosion, weathering, and biochemical reactions will not occur, only inorganic oxidation reactions Everything here is still eroding. But the erosion is too slow to rely on inorganic reactions without biological action, so that the city can be preserved as we see it now."

"Look, these straw crumbs are white." She grabbed a handful of crumbs and handed them to several girls. They were thin, translucent flakes with rough edges and clear veins.

"If they had biodegraded they would have been black. But no, the stalks have been crushed under their own weight over a long period of time. Their fibrous structures, which are normally strong enough to bear their weight, have not maintained themselves for tens of thousands of years. Time naturally collapses." Ji Zi paused at this point.Then he continued.

"Ten thousand years ago, there was a catastrophe that killed everything here conceptually in an instant. From higher organisms to protein activity. The proteins in the bodies of all living things were instantly decomposed into ashes, leaving only inorganic structures without The things of life were spared. The thatched hut must have remained the same for a long time after the catastrophe. Until it collapsed in time into what we see now."

"These white things are rice fields." Ji Zi turned his head and pointed to the white ocean on both sides of the road. "Like this house, disintegrated into white debris."

"There used to be a farmer's family living here." Bunonia also came up, stretching out her hand to push away the straw debris.Several farm implements covered underneath were exposed.

Something like a hoe, a shovel, something like a dustpan, something like a fan, some pots, and some flint.A rusty knife and a hearth made of stone.Several large pieces of burlap whose original shape could not be seen.

Both hoes and shovels have wooden handles and stone heads.After tens of thousands of years, the wooden part has long been decayed, and when I reached out to pick it up, it broke into pieces directly from the place where I held it.The stone head fell directly, landed on the ground with a thud, and rolled several times on the ground.

"Look at this knife - it should be for cutting vegetables. Their civilization should have the ability to forge metal quite proficiently, but this person is still using stone farm tools, living in the most rudimentary thatched house, and living in the city This shows that this person has a very low status in their civilization. But even so, there are several clothes in his house. This represents two things, one is that the concept of shame in their civilization has been quite developed, Clothes made of animal skins can no longer meet their needs. Second, their textile industry must have been quite developed, and even the poorest people can afford to change and wash their clothes.”

Jizi reached out and opened one of the several jars, looking at the white crystals that had formed into lumps.He took it to his nose and smelled it, then stretched out a finger to smash the white crystal, and looked at the powder in his hand.

"It's rock salt, and it's very pure. Their salt extraction technology is well developed."

"But there is something strange..." Bunonia frowned slightly. "In the early days of farming civilization, the status of farmers should be relatively high."

"Bronia, call out the pictures you took with the drone earlier." Hearing this, Ji Zi seemed to think of something suddenly. "I remember when I saw it just now, there was only this one resident next to this large wheat field?"

"...Indeed." Bunonia did as she was told, and then frowned. "It shouldn't be. According to this density, the farmer's responsibility exceeds his farming capacity by dozens of times."

"That's right." Ji Zi nodded. "Their civilization probably didn't rely on manpower for farming. This man was just a caretaker, not a cultivator. This is undoubtedly a job that an individual can do. He was probably exiled here."

"Do not rely on manpower for farming..." Leiden Mei was the first to respond, and asked tentatively. "Honkai energy?"

"Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs. There is such a legend in the mythology of Shenzhou." Ji Zi nodded. "If Shen Nong is a pseudo-herser with such abilities, he alone is enough to give birth to all the crops in this city and feed the entire city."

"Go ahead." Ji Zi stood up with a solemn expression.

"I have a feeling that this city may be far more complicated than we thought."

dozens of minutes later.

"To be honest..." Ji Zi looked at the dilapidated but neat houses on both sides, and fell silent for a while. "If the outer area of ​​the city gave me the feeling of the Stone Age just now, then now I would think that I came to ancient Egypt."

"They use a lot of mud bricks to build their houses." Bunonia frowned beautifully.

"The mud-turning process is indeed relatively simple, but it should not be in line with the natural evolution of the environment in Shenzhou, right? Buildings with mud bricks as the main body should only be taken in places where forests are scarce like ancient Egypt. It should not appear It’s right in a place like Shenzhou, which is rich in materials. Shouldn’t Shenzhou take the way of wooden buildings?”

"This is... a spinning machine?!" Ji Zi walked into a room, and almost rolled her eyes out. "Or the pedal spinning wheel...they even have this kind of black technology?"

"The specific time when the pedal spinning wheel appeared in the history of China cannot be investigated, but it is speculated that it was not earlier than the end of the Spring and Autumn Period." After hearing the sound, Buonia who came over was also stunned when she saw the rows of broken spinning wheels connected together. "This mass production of cotton and linen ... Has their economy developed to the point of intensive production?"

"Isn't it just that everyone gathers together to produce things?" Kiyana asked curiously as her head popped out from the door.

"What's so strange about that? Isn't it like this in all factories?"
