"Ahem, that, Xiao Ke, are you an alien?" Clearing his throat in embarrassment, Jin Wenyao asked with some curiosity.

"Aliens?" Hearing Jin Wenyao's question, Kronos's eyes showed a slight confusion, and it was obvious that he didn't understand the meaning of the word.

Seeing that the other party didn't understand what he meant, Jin Wenyao couldn't help but scratch his head with a bitter face, and then pointed to the ground with his finger, "Here, this is the earth." ”

Then he pointed to the faintly revealed stars in the sky and continued: "That, above, those small lights, are alien planets, are you from above?"

Jin Wenyao can be sure that Kronos must be able to understand the concept of extraterrestrial earth, after all, the other party came from such a high-level technology place, so the explanation is more straightforward.

Sure enough, seeing Jin Wenyao's movements, Kronos hurriedly waved his hand: "No, Xiao Ke, it's not an alien, it's the earth, it was born here, and it's always been here." ”

"Huh?"

This is the ancient period, although he doesn't know any scientific terms such as Cretaceous, Cambrian, Triassic, etc., but looking at those dinosaurs and ancient creatures that can only be seen in pictorials before, he can be sure that this is the age of dinosaurs on the earth.

Then this is a bit unbelievable, Kronos said that he has been living on the earth, and instead of later generations of scientists saying that he has lived here for more than a month, he can be sure that there should be no human beings in this world who have evolved to this level, especially human beings who can evolve into a systematic language and social system, and even be able to create such a super-level metal cabin.

Looking at literary works, there is often a mouth, and the monsters have cultivated for thousands of years, but in fact, taking China as an example, the human history recorded by the data is only about four or five thousand years, and after these four or five thousand years of development, human beings have modern science and technology, and the metal cabin in front of them is at least not inferior to modern science and technology, such a majestic civilization should never appear on the earth in this period.

Thinking of this, Jin Wenyao couldn't help but tremble a little and asked, "Then, Xiao Ke, where are your parents? Where were you born? Why did you become like this again?"

Although he knew that he might touch some of the other party's secrets, he really couldn't help but want to know, maybe this big guy who didn't belong to this era like himself would become the next way out for the two.

"Alas~"

Hearing Jin Wenyao's question, Kronos sighed softly again and said slowly: "Xiao Ke, I was born here, but it was a long time ago. ”

"What? A long time ago? You mean, a long time ago, there was a highly developed civilization on Earth?"

In his cognition, the creatures on the earth have evolved from inorganic matter to organic matter, from autotrophic to anomalous, from reptiles to mammals to human beings, this series of evolutions is so reasonable, but if before the age of dinosaurs, there was still an era of human civilization that was absolutely no less than modern civilization, then why did such a highly developed civilization disappear so completely?

Jin Wenyao, who was extremely surprised in their hearts, didn't know how to express it, so they had to quietly continue to listen to Kronos continue to talk about their own affairs, and with Kronos's explanation, their expressions gradually froze, and a grand world that was completely beyond the scope of their cognition gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg.

According to Kronos's recollection, his hometown was a political district called Ilenia, and in the era in which he lived, the entire human race on the earth no longer had the concept of "state", and the world was divided into many "political regions", although each political region had its own relatively independent autonomous system, but the overall planning was determined by the separation of powers of several parties, and he had only lived in that world for more than 20 years, but he witnessed the decline of the entire era.

At the beginning of civilization, similar to the modern earth civilization, most people's understanding of nature is still very shallow, but in the same way, the best of them know how to use natural energy to live and fight, in Chinese language, it can be called magic.

However, with the increasing population, industry and alchemy appeared in large numbers, resulting in more and more scarce resources, and under the increasingly scarce spiritual power between heaven and earth, people had to turn to the study of natural science and mechanics, so similar to the industrial revolution of modern human beings, at that time also set off a wave of scientific and technological industrial enlightenment.

However, unlike the modern earth, due to the deep understanding of magic, human beings at that time also mixed a large number of magical elements in the mechanical industry, technology, in fact, is another way to save magic, such as the invention of a car that can be controlled with very little magic, will use less magic than ordinary human travel and so on.

But with the improvement of scientific and technological civilization, the demand for the natural world is becoming more and more intense, and the modern earth, with high intelligence human beings do not want to sit on the mountain and eat nothing, the most essential difference between human beings and obscurantist animals is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but at that time human beings had super strength and scientific and technological level, and modern human beings developed new energy different, they decided to plunder alien resources.

Relying on the powerful scientific and technological civilization, human beings at that time launched countless expeditionary armies into the universe, and in the long distance when the expeditionary forces were still searching and fighting in the boundless universe, the earth had fallen into a crisis of running out of energy.

The magical energy that exists in nature is like oxygen in the air, although it seems to be inexhaustible, but if the consumption of oxygen is more and more and the source of oxygen production is less and less, then one day the oxygen content on the earth will also be in danger, for example, the oxygen content of modern times has been much different from ancient times.

The expeditionary force has not yet returned, and the resources on the earth are gradually scarce to the point that it is difficult to maintain the operation of the entire human race, so the society began to divide into two classes, people with convenient access began to use their ability to continuously search for resources, while those without access could only watch their supplies become scarce day by day, so that the original society that seemed to take what they needed began to become more and more distorted under the scarcity of resources.

As a result, a small number of people who scavenge resources and hoard magic reserves are gradually separated from more people who lack resources, and those who hoard resources are also divided into two methods, one is to raise prices and establish another set of market economy and monopoly industries independent of communism, while the other part of the people choose to take resources and their families away from the earth and flee to other known planets, so that the resources on the earth become more scarce.
