Chapter 640: History
In the next few days, Chu Tianjiang was very busy.
In front of Memphis, Chu Tianjiang did not hide his superpowers, but he did not fully display them, and the superpowers he showed were comparable to those of ordinary modulators. If there were also modulators on the United Continent, then Memphis would know the Dao and could also see the strength of Chu Tianjiang. Of course, Chu Tianjiang also made full use of the laser pistol found in the shipwreck, which greatly improved the efficiency of hunting desert horses.
For Memphis and other survivors, the arrival of Chu Tianjiang and others was definitely an accident, but also a surprise.
On the first day, Chu Tianjiang took Memphis and more than thirty other young adults to find the herd of horses roaming near the camp. To be precise, it is two herds, because it is mating season, so these desert horses live together, and the number of males is very large. There are hundreds of them in total, most of them adult males, the strongest one is at least 350 kilograms, the others are also around 300 kilograms, and the adult females weigh around 200 kilograms. Even if only half of the desert horses were hunted, and the horses were mainly hunted, the horse meat obtained was enough for more than 100 people in the camp to survive for more than half a year, and even the elderly and children would not go hungry. This means that Memphis will no longer have to venture to the towns and villages or other places to find food for the next six months.
After setting up camp, Chu Tianjiang began to hunt desert horses the next day.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Tianjiang showed his superpowers to Memphis and others. Although he was under control and did not exert his full strength, the ability shown by Chu Tianjiang, especially the running speed of up to hundreds of kilometers per hour, and accurate marksmanship, were enough to make Memphis and the others stunned.
In just one day, Chu Tianjiang hunted dozens of desert horses.
Because there weren't enough people to send the hunted desert horses back to the camp, and not even enough people to make the prey into jerky in time, Chu Tianjiang slowed down the hunt on the third day to avoid letting the fresh horse meat spoil because of the placement in the hot desert.
The hunt lasted ten days, and a total of one hundred and fifty desert horses were hunted.
Through these ten days, Chu Tianjiang successfully convinced Memphis that he had superpowers and could do many things that ordinary people couldn't do at all.
Of course, during these ten days, Iskar and Soya also got to know a lot of people.
Although there are still some people who regard Chu Tianjiang and them as outsiders, Memphis has changed his opinion and even regards Chu Tianjiang as hope.
Memphis is well aware of the value that a superpowered person represents.
To the people on the United Continent, superpowers are no strangers. Superpowers have been around for a long time, but not everyone has them. According to Memphis's understanding, except for a few people who are born with superpowers, only a very small number of strong people can obtain superpowers through transformation. In the words of scientists, everyone has superpowers, but some people act strong, and some win people but don't. The transformation carried out by scientific means only leads to the superpowers that they originally possessed and amplifies them.
Of course, it is impossible for a civilian like Memphis to have access to superpowers.
Half a year ago, Memphis didn't think superpowers were very important, because even without superpowers, he could make his family live a prosperous life through his hard work. Besides, the vast majority of people are ordinary people, and not all of them have survived for generations.
It's just that right now, the value of a superpowered person is too great.
In just ten days, Chu Tianjiang solved the food problem for more than 100 people in the next six months, so that everyone no longer had to worry about hunger. If it weren't for Chu Tianjiang, these fugitives led by Memphis wouldn't have lasted a month at all, and maybe they would soon part ways.
"You're leaving?"
Chu Tianjiang looked up at Memphis, then nodded and said, "Leave early tomorrow morning." As agreed, you'll have to arrange a guide for me. ”
"I am your guide."
"You don't have to take care of anyone else?" Chu Tianjiang looked surprised.
"With enough food, there's nothing to worry about." Memphis smiled reluctantly and said, "Besides, I'm just sending you to the nearest city, and it will only take more than ten days to make a round trip, so I won't delay too much." Here, I'm afraid no one is more familiar with the neighborhood than I am. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything more.
"After curing her illness, what are your plans?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Chu Tianjiang put down the luggage he had packed, sighed, and said, "Obviously, we can't return to the New World in the short term. ”
"Then we have to stay here."
"Maybe." Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "Allowed, we will go to other places." ”
"You can come back to us too." Memphis finally said what he wanted to say.
Chu Tianjiang looked at Memphis and did not immediately express his position.
"Of course, we have a terrible environment here, but I believe that this will all pass." Memphis knew she was too eager. "If you want to come back to live, you can do so at any time, and we welcome you back and hope you can become a permanent resident here."
"The premise is that Iska can be cured."
"How much do you know about the United Continent?"
Chu Tianjiang pursed his lips and said, "I only heard that the medical technology here is very developed, and it can cure Iskar's disease. I've heard of other things, but I don't know about them. ”
"Then we'll have to talk."
"Talk?"
"Either way, you can't take risks blindly, and what I'm telling you might be able to help you somewhat." Memphis smiled, and smiled sincerely. "Although I am not you and have no superpowers, I am a resident of this place and know this world better than you."
Chu Tianjiang also smiled, he did all this in the hope of learning more information.
Unlike the Northern Continent and the New World, people on the United Continent don't know about the Church at all, and Memphis hasn't even heard of the Church. What's more, there is a complete historical record on the United Continent. What happened in the last few thousand years is completely recorded in historical documents. What is related to history is the most basic knowledge. Although Memphis did not go to college, all secondary schools have history classes.
On the United Continent, the recorded history dates back 8,000 years.
On a stone tablet excavated, it is clearly recorded that about 8,000 years ago, ancient humans established the first kingdom in the center of the continent, a place called the Vani River, and used the fertile land of the delta to develop a fairly developed agricultural civilization. This ancient kingdom existed for about 1,500 years, went through hundreds of rulers, and left a large legacy, including the tombs of the rulers. Because it is no longer possible to verify the name of this ancient country, it is called the country of Vani in the official history books.
Fifteen hundred years after its founding, the kingdom of Vani suddenly disappeared from history.
It's just that the human race has not disappeared, but has dispersed into tribes. What followed was centuries-long wars, in which scattered tribes fought and killed each other for land, resources, and honor. In the Vani River Delta, there have been several empires that flourished, but these empires were extremely short-lived, some only existed for more than a decade, and the longest was less than a hundred years.
The long scuffle destroyed the foundations of the Vani River Delta.
When the melee ended, two powerful kingdoms emerged on the United Continent, one still in the Vani River Delta, historically known as the "Lyon Empire", with a lion on the royal coat of arms. Another country is located at the other end of the United Continent, centered on a highland plain, known as the Edgar Empire, which is extremely powerful, and even above the Lyon Empire, it controls nearly two-thirds of the United Continent, including the desert areas in the north.
The two empires did not live in peace, and the war remained the main body on the united continent.
The Edgar Empire had a land advantage, while the Lyon Empire had a population advantage.
The war lasted for hundreds of years, and the two empires failed to conquer each other, which made it difficult for the people of the country to endure the prolonged war. The Lyon Empire first fell apart under the pressure. Although the Edgar Empire unified the entire United Continent for a short time, its rule lasted only a little more than a hundred years. Because of the long-term repression, which led to popular rebellions, the Edgar Empire soon followed in the footsteps of the Lyon Empire.
With the collapse of the two empires, the United Continent entered the "Age of Nations".
Between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago, the United Continent was never unified. Although many empires have emerged, and some have even almost completed the great cause of unification, due to the influence of geography, climate, culture and other aspects, the United Continent has always been divided, and many empires are just short-lived.
All this did not change radically until about 3,000 years ago.
The point is a kingdom called Red, and a man named Movas, especially the latter.
Red is a very small kingdom, in the northeast of the United Continent, most of the country is in the tropics, and only a few small islands in the south have a climate that is more suitable for farming. Due to the limited land, the kingdom of Red has not been able to grow and grow, and most of the people do not live on the land, but are strangers on the sea. Movas is a craftsman in the kingdom of Red, and his father is also a craftsman, and he has been exposed to a wide variety of tools since he was a child. Before he was thirty years old, Movas invented a device that changed the fate of the kingdom of Red, and indeed the fate of all people, a power system that uses internal energy to power the machine, so that the machine can run on its own at any time, regardless of the natural environment.
As a result, the kingdom of Red entered the industrial age, and the human civilization on the United Continent also entered the industrial age.
