Road to science and technology

The whale family continued to talk about their prosperous years: "Gdbr is the name of a family, and it is also the name of every whale in the family who did that thing."

"Gdbr is great. He only does one thing in his life, which is to drive a certain kind of fish to the seaside. He first remembers the initial form of this fish, and then in the following days he drives it day by day. Observation, and this observation is a lifetime.

Before he died, Gdbr gave all his memories and described the original form of the fish he observed and the form he saw before his death to his successor, who also only did one thing in his life.

He would also eventually describe to his successors the original form of that fish and the form of the fish before his death. And so on, generation after generation, generation after generation.

In this way, a thousand years have passed. A thousand years is long enough for the ancestors whose average life span is only 50 to 100 years. However, through comparison, this generation of Gdbr found that the fish has almost no change at all, but He was not discouraged and continued to do this seemingly meaningless thing all his life."

"The hard work paid off. Millions of years later, through comparative observation, Gdbr finally discovered changes in the appearance of the fish. Their fins became harder and harder, and their shapes became more and more like limbs. But it was not over yet. , Gdbr knows that such a small change alone is not enough to convince the population."

"At this time, the fish or their subspecies that Gdbr saw have grown flippers, and they can stay out of the water for a long, long time at a time. They can even breathe on the water, and they can even breathe on the water. A short climb into a place considered off-limits.

Finally, Gdbr announced his findings to the tribe. Because what he did was not a secret among the group, for more than 10 million years, although few whales cared about it, they did not know everything. Many whales had heard stories about Gdbr.

In this environment, what Gdbr said was well-founded and the facts about that kind of fish were in front of them. At this point, the whale family finally believed that there was a new world on the continent. "

As a result, our entire tribe finally ignited the passion that has lasted for thousands of years and launched an evolutionary charge towards the land! "

The whale civilization paused for a long time after saying this, seeming to be infected by the history it described. After a long time, the communication continued: "Ah~ please don't laugh at us, the great Shenzhou civilization. You heard it right, we started from that time It's like the Charge that initiates evolution on land, yes it's evolution!

We were just a kind of intelligent beings but could not go ashore. We had no fire or electricity. We had nothing except being smart.

But even just a few animals can come ashore, but we don’t believe that we can’t, so our ancestors began to consciously move their living space to the coast,”

"We put our heads out of the water again and again, enduring the pain of broken bones and broken fins, propped up our weak bodies, raised our heads and felt the air that suffocated us, which was full of oxygen. We puffed up our gills but couldn't. Breathe, without water we will suffocate”

“During those years, countless of our ancestors were stranded and died of lack of oxygen. Our bodies were scattered all over the fields if we were not careful, but for the sake of a wider sky, we did not hesitate!

The ancestors succeeded one after another, and they firmly believed that with the will to move forward, they could also complete their evolution, and then lead the entire ethnic group towards a more prosperous world. "

"However, what our ancestors never expected was that their evolution seemed to be much slower than those stupid animals. It took about 10 million years before they could evolve the most primitive lungs.

The small progress made the ancestors ecstatic. From that time on, they were born to do only one thing besides living, and that was to use their lives to launch a charge to the land. Of course, they would also tell their descendants to continue doing this. thing,"

“One year, a lifetime, a thousand years, ten thousand years, one million years, two million years, the rings of time are engraved in our genes, in the genes of our descendants of the whale family, and finally in the genes of the endless whale family. With great efforts, during the 15 to 20 million years since we charged on land, our fins began to evolve into flippers, and at this moment, we finally found a foot and stepped on that Looking forward to land for almost 20 million years.”

"The ancestors took a deep breath of water, used their weak flippers to support their heavy bodies, and slid on the mud. When the sun was unbearable and they could no longer hold back the suffocation, they then retreated into the water and recovered. Come and continue preparing for the next landing

In this way, we go ashore more and more frequently, the trimmed CD becomes shorter and shorter, the muscles and bones become more and more developed, and so the ability of our ancestors to breathe air and move on land also becomes stronger and stronger. And this also allowed our ancestors to feel the fertility of the land. "

"Finally, finally, our ancestors finally set foot on land at some point. It was from that time that our whale civilization ushered in its first explosive leap!"

"We, who are fully adapted to life on land, quickly discovered fire with our wisdom, and then less than a hundred thousand years later, we discovered magnetism, then electricity, and then electromagnetic induction. Since then, the development of our whale civilization has It is moving rapidly towards the industrial era with an unstoppable momentum."

"Oh, thank you for listening. What follows is almost the same as most terrestrial technological civilizations. It's just that we entered the atomic age and crossed over to the information age in a shorter time than they did. In the end, you must have guessed that civilization Our journey is always between stars and sea, and we are no exception!”

There is nothing more magnificent than this in life.

Quietly listening to the self-report of the whale tribe's civilization, Yue Yuanzhou secretly sighed.

Even Huo Chi, who had been eating everything carelessly, stopped chewing, as if sighing at the blooming of life. It seemed difficult to imagine how a civilization that had possessed wisdom early on could charge towards the land from generation to generation.

Perhaps it was millions of years of accumulation that enabled them to develop so rapidly.

At this time, another message came: "Life is so difficult. If we had been even a little bit disunited, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"Is this why you came out to prevent the big nebula from destroying the Milky Way?" Yue Yuanzhou also breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"Yes!"

"Speaking of which, I remember you started saying that you still live in the water? What's going on?" Yue Yuanzhou asked next. He had some guesses, but since the whale civilization is so easy to talk to, he just asked directly.

"This one"

The whale civilization quickly sent back a message: "After our civilization became highly developed, we traveled across the stars and explored the unknown of the boundless deep space. We tried to find the true meaning of life and the meaning of life to the universe, but after searching and searching we found... Not so, so we thought, maybe there might be some clues about the original cradle of life, and the original environment might make our lives throb and bloom again!

We hope that through this most direct contact, we can touch the most essential thing about the true meaning of life, so that our science and technology can progress again and help us find the answers we want to know. So we use the most advanced technology to change ourselves so that we can naturally adapt to life in the water. "

Well, there is such an operation. With advanced technology, you can do whatever you want. Yue Yuanzhou shook his head, secretly sighing at the wayward civilization of the whale tribe, and at the same time lamenting about life.
