This old house of the Lin family in Liuye Lane has been passed into the hands of Lin Shuo, and it has gone through more than 100 years of ups and downs, and it is an old house.

A few years ago, Lin Hechun renovated it once, and recently took advantage of Lin Shuo's wedding, and picked it up again.

The house is not big, a two-story small building with a brick and stone structure, which looks similar to the homestead of ordinary country people on the outside, and is not outstanding, but there is a lot of goodness inside.

The restaurant is on the first floor, the tables, chairs and screens are all small leaves of red sandalwood, and the cups used by everyone to drink are all Jun porcelain fired by retro Song Dynasty craftsmanship.

Everything here is antique, harmonious, and pleasing to the eye, but the topic at the dinner table was suddenly taken by Miao Guangqi to a field unknown to everyone.

Nine Dragons Beast, this is the biggest taboo in the hunting gate for thousands of years.

The mystery of this topic is so deep that even the Kowloon family with the hunting door is not known to the world.

At present, two of the people sitting at the table are the supremes in the door, and the other few are also the core figures of the hunting gate, even if these people talk about this topic, they must be extremely careful.

Cao Yusheng waved his hand to stop Miao Guangqi's words, stood up by himself, closed the front and back doors of the restaurant, and closed the curtains again.

These actions may not have any effect in practice, but after doing this, Cao Yusheng felt a lot more at ease.

The old mastermind of the hunting gate sat back in his original position, picked up the wine jug, and filled it with Qin Xiangyang.

What Miao Guangqi was about to say, Cao Yusheng knew in his heart, because this topic had been discussed privately by the two before.

The ancients couldn't understand what kind of existence the Nine Dragons Beast was, but now, with the continuous accumulation of human knowledge, it is somewhat eyebrow-raising.

At least, it's qualified to take a guess.

And the results of the discussion between the two, Cao Yusheng has been secretive, and even Lin Shuo didn't tell him.

Because even Lin Shuo, in Cao Yusheng's opinion, there is no need to know these things.

This kind of thing that can't be handled at all, the less you know, the less you have to worry about.

But now that Miao Guangqi wants to say it, Cao Yusheng will not stop him.

I thought that sooner or later I would have to talk about it.

And in the final analysis, this is just a conjecture of Miao Guangqi, whether this is really the case or not, it remains to be verified.

I only heard Miao Guangqi say to Qin Xiangyang:

"Most of the creatures known at the moment stay at the level of biochemical energy at the level of energy.

Although a few species, such as the Dover Demon, have evolved some means of applying electromagnetic waves and the ability to directly convert oil into physical kinetic energy, this is still the level of chemical energy after all.

And why the seven-colored muntjac is so strong, it is because this species, according to the current intelligence, should be the ultimate evolution of living beings under natural conditions. Biochemical energy, which has been exploited to the limit.

We humans are, in a sense, an exception.

Through the accumulation of knowledge and social cooperation, we can now make the first use of nuclear energy, that is, atomic energy.

In the big picture of energy utilization, human beings, on the whole, are certainly stronger than other beasts of prey.

However, if we put aside social cooperation and only talk about us human beings, then at present, even Lin Shuo and I, including you Brother Qin, are still stuck at the limit of biochemical energy.

This is also the end point of all life on Earth under natural evolutionary conditions.

To break through this end, we need to develop civilizations, establish systems for the transmission of knowledge, discover new forms of energy, and learn how to use them.

Nine Dragons, obviously, should have crossed the end of this natural evolution and walked to a higher level.

The means of energy utilization that they currently have at their disposal are superior to those of humans.

Such an existence would not have been incomprehensible until human beings had truly developed science and realized the level of energy utilization.

Therefore, whether it is the ancestor of the Yun family of the Hunting Gate, or the nine ancestors of your Sea Guest Alliance, they only regard them as nine extremely powerful beast aliens.

And in fact, they are nine civilizations. ”

When Miao Guangqi said this, everyone present gasped except for Cao Yusheng and Lin Shuo.

The needles on the dining table could be heard all of a sudden, as if digesting Miao Guangqi's conjecture.

Miao Guangqi looked at his son-in-law Lin Shuo and said, "Lin Shuo, you don't seem surprised. ”

Lin Shuo smiled: "When I drank with Yang Tuo before, I talked about this matter. Yang Tuo said the same thing, I think it makes sense. ”

"But ......" A

E said, "Is there any other civilization on earth besides us humans?"

"Naturally, there is. Miao Guangqi said as he pointed to Di Lan's stomach, "For example, the King of Mountain Yama, this is an example.

With a little more time, it is highly likely that this species will evolve into a civilization.

It's just that it's not very lucky, at this point in time on Earth, our human civilization appeared one step earlier.

So, it couldn't hide under my microscope, and I ended up strangling it in the cradle. ”

After Miao Guangqi said this, he paused slightly, and continued: "In recent decades, many people have focused their eyes on the sky to find other civilizations, hoping to find aliens.

Various conjectures followed, the most famous being the Fermi paradox.

But in my opinion, we need to pay attention to the things in the sky, but we need to understand the things in the earth.

The oldest rock ever found on Earth, 4.3 billion years old.

The age of the earth is at least 4.6 billion years.

Our current entire earth's ecosystem, traced back to its roots, was the Cambrian explosion of life 530 million years ago.

The most basic life that emerged at that time has become our biome today through cruel natural selection and survival of the fittest.

And the Cambrian period is also the limit of the current biological fossil archaeology, and there is no more of it before.

However, from the birth of the earth to the Cambrian explosion, more than 4 billion years in between, is there really nothing?

Based on the objective existence of 'Kowloon', I have two conjectures about the origin of Kowloon.

First: Kowloon is a prehistoric civilization, and this prehistory is the prehistory of mankind.

After the Cambrian explosion of life, until the emergence of human beings, in the long years of more than 500 million years, countless species stood at the top of the biological chain.

Current fossil research can only reveal the tip of the iceberg of the evolution of organisms, and many mysteries have not yet been solved.

And those species that stand at the top of the biological chain may have developed civilizations, and their ability to use energy is beyond the stage we are currently in.

It's just that under the erosion of time, the traces of the existence of these civilizations have been erased, or there are clearly traces, and we humans are still unable to understand them.

Second: Kowloon is still a prehistoric civilization, but this prehistory is the prehistory of the current earth creatures.

Before the Cambrian eruption, there may have been several times of life on Earth, and the result of these several life evolutions is the current 'Nine Dragons'.

All in all, Kowloon is a prehistoric civilization, and although they are the result of the evolution of life on earth in space and latitude, they are very far away from us in time and latitude.

If it's the former, then it's okay, because it's the result of the Cambrian biological explosion, everyone is of the same origin, they all have genes, and they should barely be able to communicate.

If it's the latter, then it's troublesome, and it's actually no different from aliens. ”

"If your conjecture is true, then why did these civilizations end up in the form of 'Kowloon'?"

E then asked, "What is their state like this, is civilization still developing, or has it been destroyed, and Kowloon is currently only nine ruins?"

"Well, that's even harder to say. Miao Guangqi shook his head, "I said that the origin of the Nine Dragons is a conjecture in itself, and it is not certain whether this is the case or not."

If you think about it further, it will be even more unreasonable, and there are too many possibilities.

But in any case, in my understanding, the current form of civilization in Kowloon is an overall convergence, not a diffusion.

At present, they exchange very little material and energy with the outside world, and their impact on the earth's environment is relatively small.

So, there are two more possibilities.

The first is what Nian Qiu said, this is the grave state of civilization, civilization has been destroyed, or transferred, and the nine dragons currently on the earth are only nine ruins.

On the other hand, this is the extreme defensive state of civilization, which can also be understood as a latent state.

They are under some kind of pressure to abandon the expansion of civilization, at least, on Earth, and converge within the shell of Kowloon.

They may be waiting to die, or they may be waiting for an opportunity to fight back. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy after all, and Miao Guangqi's words are something that Lin Shuo has not heard from Yang Tuo's mouth before.

Obviously, Miao Guangqi wants to be deeper than Yang Tuo about the matter of Kowloon.

But it's no wonder, after all, Yang Tuo was a temporary topic at the wine table at that time, and the content of the topic was beyond his professional scope.

Yang Tuo was just a scientist who made a bold assumption and did not study it in depth.

Miao Guangqi thought about this problem, obviously it was not a day or two.

And when Miao Guangqi led the topic here, Lin Shuo naturally thought of the "Earth Bodhisattva".

He had a very strong feeling that there should be a connection between the "Nine Dragons" and the "Earth Bodhisattva".

As for what the connection was, Miao Guangqi did not continue, and Lin Shuo did not ask.

Because the conjecture is deduced here, it can no longer be continued.

The possibilities are too great, and the current information is seriously insufficient, which will greatly interfere with the future course of action.

If you want to understand these things, you definitely need to conduct on-the-spot surveys, and maybe you have to "hunt" a Kowloon-level thing.

And these are obviously not things that Lin Shuo has to deal with in the near future, after all, there is still a big deal in Borneo.

The topic of Kowloon was over for the time being, and Lin Shuo looked at Qin Xiangyang who was sitting beside him.

The general leader of the Haike Alliance, who had not spoken much just now, looked even more confused at this time, obviously not understanding much.

It's no wonder that the old man doesn't look at the dragon spirit and the tiger, but he is actually over seventy.

Let him look at the sea chart and watch the stars, set a route, or kill some strange beasts on the sea, this old man is a good hand, and his ability will not be much worse than today's Miao Guangqi.

But he went to sea with the previous generation of general alliance leaders at the age of eight, and his cultural level was barely able to read and write.

A body of ability is passed down orally, and what Miao Guangqi said just now is obviously outside his field of expertise.

"So this Nine Dragons ......" Qin Xiangyang cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice, "It's really powerful?"

"Hmm!" Lin Shuo nodded vigorously, "It's very powerful." ”

"Okay, got it. Qin Xiangyang said, "I'll turn around and greet those boys and hide away." ”

"Yes, that's what it means. ”

Lin Shuo doesn't pay attention to it, anyway, as long as the effect is achieved.

......
