Jiang Chanji's consciousness was suspended in the deep blue ocean, surrounded by all kinds of strangely shaped sea creatures.

He gradually realized that the images he saw were not real-time, but a condensation of hundreds of millions of years of history in the waters, as evidenced by the fact that the creatures that swam here were becoming more and more advanced from an evolutionary point of view, from the lower creatures that seemed to be formed by the accumulation of countless single-celled organisms in the "hot water bottle" at the beginning, to the more flexible, powerful, and intelligent higher creatures, and even the predators that could hunt in groups, and they would use all kinds of clever tactics to hunt larger and more ferocious enemies.

Time passed, and a new creature quietly appeared in the waters, with long and flexible wrists and feet, which were inconspicuous at first, hunted and chased by other large predators, but they were good at learning and working in groups, and were smarter than any other creature in the waters, and the buoyancy of the water allowed them to grow very large, muscular, and have a large brain capacity, taking into account both strength and intelligence, and soon became the overlord of the waters.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zenji realized that this might be the ancestor of the squid whiskers, just as the ancient apes were the ancestors of humans.

On top of that, their brachiopods are very flexible, and with their intelligence, they have gradually learned to use their brachiopods to make tools, at first just to build nests for habitation, and later they have learned to use their brachiopods to roll up one stone and cut another stone to make it more regular and build larger, more stable nests.

As they become more and more elaborate with stone tools, which in turn stimulates the brain and further develops the brain, the squid beard subspecies, which has a slightly smaller brain capacity, is gradually eliminated.

Generations of squid whiskers have evolved, building huge nests on the ocean floor, like primitive cities, to hide from ferocious predators, and their numbers have continued to grow, but they are no longer satisfied with the bottom of the sea.

A small number of squid-whisker ancestors began to look up at the starry sky, and they were characterized by their eyes that were often very large and bright.

Jiang Chanji's consciousness floated up with them, surfacing out of the sea.

There are many moons in this world, large and small, and some moons can be seen even during the day, and at first glance they are thought to be two suns, so they form a complex tidal effect.

Seeing these moons, he finally confirmed his suspicion that this was not Earth.

The squid-whisker ancestors who liked to look up at the starry sky floated to the surface of the sea every night, their huge eyes observing the movement of the stars, and then returned to the bottom of the sea during the day, and used stones to record what they saw—they arranged the stones into strange shapes, which may be the prototype of their writing, which should be some kind of hieroglyphs, some like the words on the inner wall of the bottle that Jiang Chanji's parents mailed back.

At this point, they can no longer be called animals, they have evolved to be more intelligent than chimpanzees and dolphins, capable of making tools and inventing writing, and can accumulate and pass on knowledge from generation to generation through writing.

The appearance of writing has greatly increased their rate of evolution, and those who like to look up at the stars may have been so longing for the sky that half of their squid whiskers have become so wide and flat that they can flapp awkwardly...... Let's call it Bearded Wings, briefly leave the sea and fly into the sky.

Jiang Chanji's heart moved, isn't this like Frigga just starting to learn to fly?

The respiratory organs of this part of the squid whiskers have also changed.

This part of the squid that has embarked on another evolutionary route has mastered better and better flight techniques through repeated practice, and has become an amphibious in the sea and air. During this time, mathematicians seem to have been born from the squid whiskers that remained on the bottom of the sea, and since each individual has 16 squid whiskers, they use hexadecimal to count, just as humans have 10 fingers and use decimal counting.

Mathematicians have helped pilots design more scientific flight movements through calculations, similar to the flapping movements of birds, and there are no birds in this world, only flying squid whiskers and some other fish that glide at low altitudes, so they have learned the principle of flapping wings without a teacher.

Having mastered the base hexadecimal, they are better at math and computational science than humans, presumably because 16 is exactly the fourth power of 2.

Is there no world without birds?

Jiang Chanji's doubts were quickly answered, there were no large pieces of land in this world, only a few islands that surfaced to the surface, which were the tops of high mountains under the sea.

There is no land, no terrestrial animals, no birds, and the whole planet is almost an ocean, it is a planet of water.

Jiang Chan was able to understand this because the explorers of the Squid Whisker had successfully circumnavigated the planet, which took a long time, but the lifespan of this race was very long.

They may have some kind of natural navigation device in their body, just as fish are born to migrate between their habitat and spawning ground, and even if they swim to unfamiliar places, they will not lose their way and will always swim in one direction.

When the explorers returned to the starting point, they finally understood that the world was a sphere, and this fact not only boosted their understanding of the planet itself, but also stimulated an explosion of astronomy, because they could reasonably speculate that the sun, moon, and starry sky were all spheres.

Jiang Chanji saw that they used stone knives to carve rudimentary shapes on the stone slabs—the planet was revolving around the sun, and the moon was revolving around the planet.

In version 1.0 of the Celestial Chart, each sphere is connected by a thin line, which they believe is the thin line that leads the planets to rotate.

More teams of explorers are heading in all directions, some soaring through the skies and others diving deep to find the "line" – a difficult task on a planet where land and sea coexist, but relatively simple on a planet that is completely covered in water.

The explorers returned to their starting point, of course, but the information they brought back further improved the scientists' geographical knowledge and gave them a preliminary overview of the planet.

Their scientists were puzzled by the non-existent "thread", and this confusion did not last long, at least not for too long under Jiang Chanji's gaze. There was a squid whisker who liked to think, and the scientist threw it up and caught it with his wrist and feet, and so on, and so on, and one day it seemed to think of something suddenly, and it didn't catch the stone, and was hit on the head by the sinking stone.

Although it was not an apple but a stone, it used a stone knife to flatten the thin lines in the celestial charts and came up with the law of gravitation.

The scientific community of squid whiskers has taken an explosive leap.
