Chapter 359: Primitive Civilization
A couple of ships, that's right! In front of everyone's eyes were several ships, not much different from those of the sailing ships of the earth, which should have been wooden in appearance, with sails hanging on them, and sailing on the ocean near the coastal line.
The appearance of ships, although it is only the appearance of very ordinary or even very ancient wooden boats, at least represents the existence of intelligent life on this living planet, and judging from the size of these boats and the navigation situation, this should be a fishing boat.
"Zoom in, zoom in more!" Kevin. Adams shouted excitedly, his head almost close to the three-dimensional image, and as the robot operating the small shuttle stayed in the sky, the image began to become clearer and clearer, and soon everyone could see the intelligent life, or the humans on this planet.
Outwardly, they are very similar to humans, including the Blue Star people, except that they are taller and burlier, and their skin is a faint red, which looks similar to the Indians on Earth. The limbs are slightly longer and more developed, and the hair on the body varies, some with thick hair, some with less, and the appearance is close to that of the Westerners of the earth, with a high nose and sunken eyes. These people are working on the boats, some are directing, some are driving, and many more are using tools similar to fishing nets to catch .......
"They are still in a primitive civilization, but it is not clear what stage of primitive civilization they are in." Tang Le looked at it with the same excitement and finally came to a conclusion.
"It seems to be in the same state as before the Industrial Revolution, the fishing operation is relatively simple, and they use basic tools, and there is no trace of any industrial equipment on the ship." Kevin. Adams added a few points, compared to the Blue Star civilization, which was already a third-level civilization. The civilization of the earth, or the people of the earth, are more familiar with the stage that the humans of this planet are in. It is important to know that a hundred years before the beginning of the earth, that is, before the start of the Industrial Revolution, and even for a long time after the start of the Industrial Revolution, such fishing practices still existed. However, this is only a preliminary judgment. It is not entirely accurate to determine the stage of the primitive civilization of this planet from the situation of just a few fishing boats, but at least it is possible to roughly deduce their technological situation.
Perhaps the small shuttle stayed in the air for too long, and a working "fisherman" inadvertently looked up at the sky, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then pointed to the sky and exclaimed.
Hearing the exclamations of his companions, some of them also looked to the sky in the direction he was pointing, and soon the same exclamation came from the sight of the small shuttle stuck in the sky. Soon. The whole boat ...... No! The people, including a few nearby boats, also saw the shuttle in the sky, and all of them forgot about their work and looked up at the sky in amazement, as if they did not understand how there could be a strange big bird in the sky that stopped motionless.
This scene also reached the bridge of the Vanguard spaceship, and everyone looked at the surprised expressions of the humans, although they thought it was a little funny, but at the same time they felt very normal. For example, in ancient times on Earth, a group of ancient people suddenly saw an airplane flying overhead. I'm afraid I'll be just as shocked. Even a few decades ago, the earth's civilization had not yet entered the period of cosmic civilization. The so-called UFOs are very noisy on the earth, and at that time, when the spaceships of other cosmic civilizations suddenly appear in the atmosphere and are discovered by people on the ground, earthlings will also have such expressions.
These fishing boats and fishermen can only confirm the existence of a primitive civilization on this planet, but it is not completely certain to what extent this primitive civilization has reached the level of technology. Therefore, Su Yichen and the others decided to let the small shuttle continue to fly inland, looking for the gathering point of the human race on this planet. Complete an accurate confirmation of the stages of the primitive civilization of the planet.
The small shuttle that had stopped steadily in the sky soon moved, and under the gaze of the fishermen, the strange "big bird", which was still shining silver in the sun, moved at once, and even changed from stationary to moving extremely quickly. Before they could react, the small shuttle was pushed by the engine from stationary to extremely high speed in the blink of an eye, and flew inland with a swish, and by the time they came back to their senses, the small shuttle had already flown far away, and then flew away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Su Yichen didn't see the next scene, and the fishermen on those fishing boats showed stunned expressions on their faces when they saw the small shuttle flying out of their sight in an instant at such a high speed. Immediately afterwards, some people even fell down in the direction where the small shuttle flew away, and knelt down in a five-body posture. When the first man did this, soon the others began to bow down with him, perhaps in their minds that what they had just seen was a miracle.
The small shuttle continued to fly inland, and when they entered the interior, they saw several villages, which were not very large, and the location of the villages was very close to the coastline, if I guessed that these villages were the fishing villages of the fishermen.
In addition, there are a number of trails between the villages, including further inland, which are very ordinary, even rudimentary, and the small shuttles only fly over the villages without stopping, and it continues to move forward, trying to find the location of the big city.
A few minutes later, about 30 kilometers from the coastline, a city appeared and was not very large, similar in size to the 18th-century European cities on Earth, the main body of the city was made of stone, which looked very rugged. The city has walls, and there are various buildings inside the city, but when you look at the sky, you can only see the shape of the buildings, but you can't judge the function of these buildings. There are also many people active in and around the city.
"It does look like it was before the Industrial Revolution, and it's a bit like the eighteenth century in Europe." Luo Yan took a closer look at the structure of the city, including the people who moved within the city.
"I also feel like, I even feel like I'm watching a movie, the kind of old movie that depicts the 18th century in Europe." Gao Jian pointed to the image and said, except for Tang Le, who didn't know the history of the earth's civilization and those movies, the rest of the people nodded again and again.
"I feel more like medieval Europe. If you look at these buildings, if I'm not mistaken, they should be similar to the structure of the arrow tower, and there were many such buildings in medieval Europe. Kevin. Adams pointed to the minarets at the corners of the city walls and said, as the only Westerner on the Vanguard spaceship, he should have been more accurate in his judgment of these buildings, he reminded. Including Su Yichen, they all agreed.
The city is not a big city in terms of overall structure, including the area covered, not even a medium-sized city, just a small city. Looking from the sky, the entire city probably does not even have 5,000 people, and at most it can accommodate more than 3,000 people.
However, this situation was normal in the eighteenth century and even earlier, when even China, the world's most populous country, had a large city of a million people, as well as small counties and even small towns with sparse population. As for Europe, including the newly built Americas, some small towns are no more than that, or even worse than it.
The small shuttle continues forward, that is, to explore deep inland. Along the way, many similar cities like this were discovered, some of which were larger than the first ones, and some of which were even smaller, and more than a dozen large and small cities were found before and after. But there is not a single megacity to be seen.
This situation is a little strange to everyone, it stands to reason that there are some big cities on a planet like this that already has civilization. Could it be that the human population of this planet, or their habits, has not yet produced such a situation? But according to the results of this search, it is a little different.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Yichen looked intently at the terrain map of the ground that had been transmitted back to the Vanguard spacecraft, and then asked the small shuttle to adjust its course and move forward along a large river. This large river is the largest river to be found by small shuttles flying inland along the way to the sea, curving forward, passing through some mountain ranges. The scenery is very beautiful.
Walking upstream along the river, the terrain gradually flattened for a distance, and the direction of the mountains eased considerably, and when the shuttle passed through another bend, the front suddenly opened up. A plain appeared.
"Look! The city! “
Tang Le's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to shout, and soon Gao Jian also exclaimed, because a huge city appeared not far from the plain, and this city was the megacity they had been looking for, far more than those cities they had met along the way in terms of the size of the city, although it was not sure how many people the city had, but it could accommodate at least more than 100,000 people in terms of the area of the city alone.
Cities of more than 100,000 people could be called metropolises in the Middle Ages and even in eighteenth-century Europe. As the shuttle approached, the scene on the ground became clearer and clearer, and indeed they were right, this was indeed a megacity, and the city was extremely prosperous, and countless people lived, worked, traded, walked, and ...... in it. Looking at this scene, people feel a strong atmosphere of exotic life.
The appearance of the megacity excites everyone, and the small shuttle once again stays in the sky, but this time it stays a little higher, but the equipment carried by the small shuttle can still clearly transmit the scene from the ground back to the Vanguard spacecraft.
Looking at those images, everyone discussed with each other, especially the people on the ground from the clothing, behavior, behavior and other aspects of the analysis, and finally came to a basically accurate conclusion, the intelligent human beings on this planet do have a primitive civilization, but their primitive civilization is much more backward than the original earth civilization, and their civilization stage should be in the end of the Middle Ages to the industrial revolution of the earth civilization.
The whole civilization has not seen the scientific and technological items that will only exist after the industrial revolution, and what it has is just very ordinary handiwork, and this civilization should have its own beliefs, because along the way they found a relatively strange tall building in the city they passed, at first they thought that this was the central building of the city, just like the palaces and castles of European lords, but in this megacity, there are three buildings with such a structure, and these three buildings are in three places in the city. Of course, the structure is more majestic and spectacular, and they can see many people entering and exiting the building, and even making a five-body throwing to the ground, similar to kneeling.
Judging from this situation, these buildings should be religious buildings, because only religious buildings have such scenes. As for what religion this civilization embraced, it is not known for the time being, and this remains to be seen later.
The small shuttle stayed in the sky over the city for more than an hour, and after collecting all the information on the ground, it continued to search forward again, and the next time, the small shuttle continued to search forward for the situation of the planet's civilization, and in a few hours, many cities were found along the way, and even one city was about the same size as the megacity discovered before, which made the people on the Pioneer spacecraft even more excited.
"Almost, let the small shuttle come back, I think this planet is still very safe, with their civilization technology will not have any impact on us, our spaceship can stay and rest on this planet for a short time, and even directly contact the humans of this primitive civilization."
After several hours of video observation, everyone gradually became a little tired from the initial excitement, Luo Yan suggested appropriately, Su Yichen nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to order Zhi Brain to send a command message to the small shuttle to return home, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes suddenly stared at the image straight.
"My God! This...... This! Kevin. Adams' mouth was wide open, and his eyes were about to pop out. Gao Jian also looked dumbfounded, his eyes were straight, and Tang Le and Luo Yan were also shocked by the sudden scene, everyone looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while.
Because they saw a megacity in the image...... No! To be precise, it should be a megacity, the size of which is far larger than any city seen before, almost ten times the size of the first megacity discovered, which means that it is a megacity capable of almost a million people.
Not only that, but what shocked everyone even more was not the size of the city, but the structure of the city and everything that was happening, and it was all this that made everyone stunned for a while, and they couldn't believe their eyes. (To be continued......)
