Chapter 312: The Truth of Life
Zhang Yunxian's biggest hobby used to be to read astronomical science magazines.
In what Shen Yi said just now, he basically agrees with the theory of the explosion of the universe.
Another point is that the universe has existed for more than 16 billion years, and the planet inhabited by human beings was born more than 4 billion years ago.
Therefore, Zhang Yunxian's heart, in addition to being shocked, couldn't help but be slightly inclined to agree with the 'myth' told by Shen Yi.
"Did you appear from the moment the universe was born, or were you born later on a wandering journey?"
"Born on the way to wandering, according to the unit of time measured by human beings, I existed for about 535 million years from birth to death, of course, I really can't remember it so clearly for thousands of years in more detail!"
"Understand!" Zhang Yunxian thought to himself, a billionaire, when calculating his worth, naturally it will not be accurate to the extent of thousands of quick money.
"The gods and spirits have inhabited this remote but very special planet, and the stories that follow, basically all versions of myths and legends, are all the same! Our two races have begun to enter a period of fairly long peace mode, not only have we stopped killing each other, but have even learned to work together, and we have made many attempts to create life together on this silent and remote planet......
"Are you saying that from the very beginning, there was actually no life on this planet, and that the origin of all species came from the creation of your two races?"
"Initially......" Shen Yi seemed to hesitate, "In my memory, there is indeed no sign of life on this planet! When it was just formed, there were only two colors, light and dark, and after more than a billion years of crustal movement, it was finally completely stabilized, and the earliest life form, that is, the real appearance of the so-called 'single-celled individual', should be more than three billion years ago, and the life forms at that time were basically some algae plants that existed in the ocean......"
"After another billion years, the nearby cosmic environment has undergone some changes, and the oxygen content in the water and air on this planet has suddenly increased dramatically! Some mutations have occurred in single cells, and more life elements, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and other substances that can form primitive life, have appeared ......."
"It's a very amazing thing, and we've been studying it for many years to figure out the end result of the interaction between these two components, which means that the two most important things in the living system have been solved, one is metabolism, and the other is reproduction. The life forms we have created have finally begun to enter a new stage of biological evolution from the chemical stage of the origin of life......"
"In the next billion years, the evolution of life has been quite dull, but fortunately, we all have an almost infinite lifespan, watching the world change bit by bit day every day. It wasn't until 500 million years ago that the climate, seasons, air, and geography here really formed an environment suitable for the life we created...... Strange shrimp!"
"The overlord of the Cambrian Strange Shrimp!" Zhang Yunxian recalled a paper he had read in a scientific magazine, which mentioned the planet where human beings lived and experienced several major historical epochs, including the relevant description of the strange shrimp.
"That's what humans later summed up as a name! Odd shrimp are very reproductive, and in the 100 million years they have dominated the oceans, they have eaten up almost all other species of the same period! This is actually not a big deal, but this creature cannot derive the slightest intelligence, and for us 'Creator', it is quite a failed lesson! In order to correct this failure, our two races joined forces to block the distance between the sun and the planet. 'Connection', so that the marine world entered a decades-long freezing period, and completely wiped out the strange shrimp, a mistake in the history of evolution......"
"Then there is the Devonian era, right? The overlord of the ocean has been replaced by the shield fish race? how long have they existed? 30 million years? Or 40 million years? How did you destroy it?" Zhang Yunxian asked tentatively, recalling the contents of the paper he had read.
"Thirty million years is about the same, the shield fish is smarter than the odd shrimp, but it is far from enough, at this time, the seeds of life we put on the land began to enter the era of high-speed reproduction and mutation, we feel that the land may be the most suitable cradle for the birth of intelligent life! Next, we selected several samples of marine fish with relatively tenacious vitality, modified their genes, and forced them to live on land......"
"This must be the story of the Permian period, right? From the original amphibians, a canine species suitable for terrestrial survival gradually separated, and occupied the dominance of the planet for 120 million years? And then immediately after the advent of the Triassic, the predecessor of the dinosaurs, the crocodiles, rose to dominate for about 50 million years?"
Zhang Yun was idle and made up this history that was so far away that it could not be verified at all, and he had only one thought in his heart, what kind of natural evolution? It was all nonsense! It turned out that everything was in the hands of the Protoss and the Spirit Race.
There is no way to confirm these things in prehistory, and all the current human cognition of those great epochs is only based on some biological fossils found by chance, as for what the planet looked like at that time, I am afraid no one in this world knows.
What Shen Yi said fit the scientific cognition in Zhang Yunxian's mind to a certain extent, but he did not come up with any practical and useful evidence.
In fact, when Shen Yi said what he said just now, Zhang Yunxian's brain was not without doubts, and he also wondered, could these be a 'story' carefully compiled by Shen Yi after reading his relevant memories in advance?
However, he immediately ruled out this possibility.
First of all, Shenyi is a member of the Protoss, and Lingxiao is a member of the Protoss, and they exist together in their own bodies, and the legend of the Apocalypse has existed for 30,000 years, which in itself is very revealing.
Secondly, he felt that Shenyi had no need to weave such a grand 'lie' to deceive him.
Shen Yi could sense the change in his thoughts, he gave Zhang Yunxian enough time to digest, and only after he had completely calmed down did he continue: "What I said is all the past in my memory, maybe because the time is too long, the details are a little vague, but they are generally true and correct. ”
"I know, when did you create human beings?" asked Zhang Yunxian calmly.
"After the dinosaurs, speaking of dinosaurs, this race is the longest ruler of this planet, from 270 million years ago when it was created by us, until 65 million years ago, in this relatively long time, whether it is land, sea or even sky, almost all the space on this planet is completely occupied by their race, more than 200 million years, there has never been a living race, can accompany us for so long. It's still quite sentimental in retrospect, you humans have a word called 'feelings', and the relationship between dinosaurs and our creator is much deeper than that of humans!"
This is a little different from Zhang Yunxian's memory, what he remembers is that dinosaurs did go through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous eras, but the total is only about 160 million years.
"If you have such a deep affection for dinosaurs, why did they suffer the fate of extinction again?"
"Although the wisdom of dinosaurs is very primitive, it is enough to make us feel happy, and this is the most successful creation of life that we feel! However, wisdom is also something that evolves over time...... Over the course of 200 million years, the dinosaurs we created have become more and more restless in our control, and they want to be the true masters ......of this planet! They actually attacked us......"
"Because they have existed for the longest time, and they have multiplied so many times and occupied so much space that there is no way to erase them in a simple way, so we had to use the power of an alien planet, through its impact, to trigger tsunamis, storms, and storms in all directions on this planet. I can't remember whether it was 200 or 300 years of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, when the living environment here was almost completely destroyed, sunlight was blocked by the dust in the atmosphere for a long time, the photosynthesis of plants almost completely stopped, and about three-quarters of the other species on the planet were extinct along with the dinosaurs. ”
"Human beings have not appeared for a long time, after we exterminated the dinosaurs, the experiment on the creation of life has been suspended for about 20 million years, we have been analyzing, summarizing and reflecting, and we are also a little confused, I don't know what kind of new life to create to meet our needs!"
"You need essence and spiritual power, but aren't these all from the universe? How can the life you create meet your needs?"
"The universe at that time was a little different from now!" Shen Yi said lightly, "The life energy of our two major races was born with the Big Bang of the universe, it can be said that whether it is essence or spiritual power, they naturally have a new attribute, and the life experiment we conducted itself is also a creation about a new life, every time a new life is born, it itself will bring some new energy, dinosaurs used to be our most satisfactory energy carrier!"
Zhang Yun was in a trance and understood a little, it turned out that the fundamental purpose of their creation was to harvest essence or spiritual power from the process of the birth of life, the so-called 'heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs', which roughly means this, right?
Human beings are always grateful for the merits of the Creator, but they have never thought of passing it, and they are not from Lei Feng, so why did they go to such great lengths to create us?
