"They are extremely civilized and have advanced technology. Of course, this is in the case of the northern barbarians. The process of civilization of the white Southerners corresponds to the early seventeenth century, or even earlier, the stage between the Dark Ages and the Age of Enlightenment. They knew how to use arquebuses, and perhaps there were rudiments of primitive flintlock pistols, at least not to me. They had a powerful navy, the massive use of wooden sailboats, and a culture and economy far superior to that of the northern barbarians. Compared to them, we are real savages. ”

"I don't know exactly when the confrontation between the South and the North took shape. Barbarians and whites are irreconcilable mortal enemies. I suggest that if you have the chance, it is best to go to Suolong Pass. The terrain there is difficult to describe in a sentence or two, there are many things that you have to see in person to experience, my life has reached its end, and the amount of information stored in genes is limited, and it is impossible to record it in detail. ”

"I'm a cow guy. Aristocrat...... Hehe, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to be among the upper class in this life. It's a local custom! My current name is Niu Jianhua. ”

Surname again.

The silent Tianhao's gaze became soft with this genetic message. Unexpectedly, even the survivors of the civilized era are not exempt from vulgarity, and the pressure from the moral framework of society is indeed greater than the will of the individual.

"It's a strange thing to have a surname from the tribe you belong to. I don't know what's going on in this world, but I remember when I went into the pod to be genetically dormant, everyone in the base had a different last name. I assume it was a great destruction that changed everything. A global nuclear war? Violent crustal movements? Or is it as the Gospels say, God flooded the land with a flood and only the last righteous Adam was entitled to live? ”

"If it is the last hypothesis, it is consistent with the current state of the world, and it can barely explain the past. History has proved that only when the entire social system is subverted and those in power firmly rule the minds of the people can some unthinkable decrees be regarded as normal by everyone. Especially large-scale human sacrifice, which would have been unthinkable in civilized times. But here, in the Tiger Clan, I have seen them slaughter tens of thousands of people at once, make the corpses into dishes, and serve them to the banquet table. ”

"I'm personally inclined to nuclear war. It is true that the terrain of Suolong Pass is dangerous, but with the advanced technology of the white people in the south, fighting a war of attrition, and continuously providing more gunpowder and soldiers, it is a matter of time before Suolong Pass is lost. But that's how strange things are, I've spent some time on the front lines with the army as a Bull Witch, and I've interrogated a few white captives, who seem to be terrified of setting foot on the northern continent. The number of captives was small, and it should even be said that it was extremely rare. They refused to surrender and preferred to commit suicide even in a desperate situation where there was no hope of breaking through. ”

"There is a legend in the white kingdom that the northern continent is a forbidden land, and anyone who sets foot on that land will die."

"Weird, isn't it? It reminds me of the world after the end of nuclear war. Everything, including the soil, is also contaminated with radiation, and humans cannot survive in such an environment. Like Chernobyl, that dead domain has existed for many years, and no one dares to set foot in it. ”

Nuclear warfare?

Radiation?

Tianhao remembered the Giant Horned Deer. The deer herd at the back of the stockade is so large that it's hard to imagine that there is enough food to feed these animals in the wooded mountains. They are tall and large, which means they have to eat a lot of food every day to stay alive. Mountains and forests are not pastures, there is not enough forage, how do they survive by eating on the bark and young leaves?

There is also the giant emperor ribbon fish in the sea, if it is caused by the mutation in the radiation environment, it is indeed a logical explanation.

"The biggest problem is the barbarians living on this land of the Northern Continent." The message transmitted by the shrunken human head directly touched the deepest part of Tianhao's thinking: "The forbidden land of white people is a paradise for barbarians. They live freely here, hunting in primitive ways, farming in the fields at a low level, and the transfer of knowledge follows the ancient "dictation" method. ”

"No matter what tribe is, there is a shortage of food every winter. The actions of the superiors seem to me so stupid that they would rather expend a lot of food than make wine, feast and celebrate at so-called festivals and sacrifices to the gods, and turn a blind eye to the common people who starve to death under their rule. No one thought of rising up to resist, and everyone felt that the actions of the superior were taken for granted as "aristocratic rights". Fortunately, the barbarians' fertile capacity filled the death trap, and the girl reached adulthood at the age of 10 with a 60 percent chance of becoming pregnant and giving birth that year of marriage. The ten-month period of mature pregnancy for an adult woman in civilized times has now been shortened to five, or even four. I observe a lot of fetuses, they have never had a birth defect, and "Down screening" is useless in this day and age. They do not hesitate to marry close relatives, and in some remote and remote tribal villages, there are even cases of intermarriage between men and women of the direct line. ”

"Latecomers, you can observe the world with the data I have so far. There is no correlation between shortening the pregnancy cycle and rapid growth. The only result they have led to is a massive population explosion of the entire northern barbarian population. The problem of population reproduction, which was so difficult to solve for the managers of the state in the age of civilization, is now completely naturalized. It's not as simple as one plus one equals two, but an explosive pattern that grows in geometric multiples. I think I'm beginning to understand the seemingly cruel practices of the barbarian tribal superiors, and I'm no longer disgusted by the mass murder of every god. Born more, killed more, they ensured a balance in the social framework in this simplest way, at least on the surface. ”

"I haven't been to the South. For the barbarians, it was also a forbidden place of death. ”

"I don't understand, why do white Southerners have such advanced technological power? In fact, from a geographical point of view, there is a lock between the north and the south. According to the view of the Age of Civilization, war is the best scientific catalyst, and both warring sides can learn more from their opponents. Yet after all these years, the barbarians were still ignorant, refusing to use new weapons and never studying gunpowder. White Southerners, on the other hand, have always been at the forefront of technology. The lockdown is so tight, and even though I'm a great wizard, it's hard to get more information about coming from the South. But the front-line soldiers were deeply touched by this, and I have seen a report that white people have made progress in the research and use of arquebuses, and the range of this ancient firearm has increased by 20 meters in ten years. ”
