In a deep shaft, a mine elevator is gradually descending its height, and at the same time as the height drops, you can also hear the sound of gear snapping from above the deep shaft, which is terrifying, and always gives people the illusion that the elevator rope will break at any time.

However, the few people who took the elevator this time are more special, and this kind of small scene just scares ordinary people......

"Do you have a half-life measurement?"

The gatherer asked in the Cater language, and the Cater who was riding the elevator with him hurriedly replied with a sneer.

"When we found out, we immediately made calculations."

"How long ago was that?" The other gatherer asked again.

"Probably... 800 million to 900 million years ago. Carter's tone wasn't very sure.

"Can't be more precise?"

The collectors are not very satisfied with the measurement results, and the error in accuracy will generally cause the misjudgment of the results, which is a very common problem in the previous ethnic groups, so the collectors have learned from the pain, and never forget the spirit of excellence, and they are also as accurate as possible in the scale measurement.

"This is already our most advanced measuring instrument, and time has passed so long that many traces have been washed away by the long years."

The Carters were helpless, not because they didn't want to be more precise, but because they didn't have that kind of technology.

The other, the Carter, who had also taken the mine elevator but had not yet spoken, questioned the two gatherers.

"Uh...... Can you explain to us more about this ultra-ancient civilization? ”

The two gatherers looked at each other, and they had come here because the Cater archaeologist had approached them and wanted them to participate in an archaeological excavation of some ancient civilization.

Originally, the collectors were not going to participate, and they did not have the same extraordinary passion for archaeology as their supreme will.

However, after seeing the text in one of the many photos given by Carter, they changed their minds.

And the reaction was very violent, like pouring water into sulfuric acid, they went directly through the government channels of the Carters, and the Carters excavated the remains of this ultra-ancient civilization.

The reaction of the gatherers has already been vaguely guessed by the Carters that Amoeba is aware of this ultra-ancient civilization, and some people even speculate that Amoeba once had a war with this ultra-ancient civilization and destroyed the other party, so there is such a reaction.

The questions asked by the Carter scholars were not only his personal questions, but also those of some archaeological scholars among the Carters.

"We're not sure if it's the civilization we know about yet, and we'll talk about it when we get to the excavation site and confirm the ancient relics." The gatherer's bland response.

"Understand, understand, science is rigorous, hehehe......"

The politicians who were traveling next to him were wiping cold sweat while playing a round field.

The shaft was very deep, and after waiting for a while, the mine elevator reached the bottom, and the light at the bottom was abundant, and the Carters could change the spectral range of their visual acceptance like the gatherers, they could only see the visible light band in a fixed frequency range, and this demand gave rise to the technological product of 'electric light'.

Of course, Carter's visible light band and human visible light band are two different things, and the definition range on both sides is different, if there is a human present, he will be in a hurry to put on his sunglasses, because the brightness of the light bulb is too dazzling.

A simple glance at the archaeological site, there were no other people present except for their group, the site was cleaned up, there was no gravel mounds or anything like that, it should be that the Carter government knew that there were amoebas who would come to the scene in person, and deliberately did so.

But their behavior is nothing more than throwing their eyebrows at the blind, and the gatherers do not play this kind of trick, they do not even understand this behavior.

Eventually, the attention of the two gatherers converged on the excavation site.

"That's the only one you've excavated?" The gatherer asked.

"Yes, after all, they are ancient relics, and our current technology cannot do the excavation of these items intact, so after the discovery, we urgently stopped work and did not excavate further."

The executive answered the gatherer's question with a smile that he didn't know if he had frozen.

Although the collector felt strange, he didn't think too much about it, just thought that this Carter had some neurological disease, nodded approvingly, and approved of the Carter government's approach.

"You're doing the right thing, the most important thing in archaeology is to protect the excavations at the time of excavation."

The other gatherer had already reached the excavation site, and in that place, there was a fragment with two relatively clear geometric characters written on it.

After looking at it carefully for a while, the gatherer used the life field to inform his kindred.

"I took a brief look, and it was they who left it, and the text on it is exactly the same as the text in the Book of Arrays."

After learning this information, the gatherers who were still talking to the Carter politicians felt a wave of joy in their hearts.

After a brief exchange of opinions with his fellow people, he said to the politician, "According to the agreement, you Carter civilization will receive a material subsidy for ten years as a reward for your conscious protection of these ancient objects." ”

"Thank you very much!"

When the politicians heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, with these material subsidies, it is not a problem for the Carter civilization to recover in a short period of time, in comparison, what is the remains of an ultra-ancient civilization, it is nothing at all, even if there is that thought, there is no ability to compete with amoeba, it is better to focus on the present.

However, the Carter scholars had not yet received their own answers, and when they saw the politicians so ecstatic, they pouted disdainfully and solemnly asked the two gatherers.

"According to the agreement between us, can you introduce this super-ancient civilization hundreds of millions of years ago to me now?"

Once again, the two gatherers used the life field to exchange information.

"This Carter seems to be ...... will"

"Do you want to tell him?"

"Then satisfy him, for the sake of him being so similar to his will."

"Hmm."

The gatherers began to introduce the Hui civilization to the Carter scholars, and the politicians who had not left couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen, after all, people are always curious, what is the origin of this ultra-ancient civilization, and not only the Carter archaeologists care about them.

"These ancient items are the legacy of a civilization that calls itself 'Hui', and we don't know much about them, except that when they still existed, they once developed civilization to a very high level, and this high-end level is far beyond the limits of your imagination."

"How high?"

The Carter scholar asked him if he needed a specific concept to understand.

The gatherer thought about it and depicted the concept of Hui civilization according to his own understanding.

“…… In your civilization, there is a game of slapping spheres around, and the Hui civilization can slap black holes around as you play with spheres. ”

"Are you kidding?"

Carter scholars are not very able to accept the metaphor of the gatherer, what a black hole is, even the Carter, who no longer understands astronomy, will inevitably know after experiencing the singularity explosion.

Such a horrible thing is used as a ball to play with - this is already a god!

"I'm stating the facts, you just can't understand it."

The gatherer shook his head, the words had been spoken, the concept had been given, and it was Carter's own business to believe it or not.

"That's... This Hui civilization wants to compare with amoeba, is it high technology or low technology? The politician on the side suddenly asked coldly.

The gatherer gave the politician a meaningful look, and the question seemed to be asking Hui Wenming, but in fact he was testing the amoeba's technical skills.

Although the gatherers are stupid, this does not mean that they are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and they will not understand such small routines.

"They have traversed the sea of stars, and they are the absolute rulers of the river system we are currently in in the universe, as well as many other river systems, and we Amoeba can't do it to this extent now."

When the two Carters heard about this depiction, they felt that their brains were not enough.

"With such a powerful civilization, how is it doing now?" The Carter politician asked with some excitement.

If you can make friends with such a civilization, wouldn't the Carter civilization no longer have to worry about survival in the universe?

With this in mind, even if there is a risk of angering the gatherers, the politicians are bold enough to ask.

And the words of the gatherer made the politician's small ambition instantly extinguished.

"Extinct."

"Extinct? This is impossible, even the most terrifying astronomical disaster known is absolutely impossible to destroy a civilization of this level. ”

Politicians don't feel good, very bad, such a powerful civilization is destroyed, then this universe ......

"The facts are in front of you."

The gatherer pointed to the location of the excavation with his tentacle finger.

The Carters, who had once been on the verge of the 'destruction of civilization', were very sensitive to this question, and the Carter scholars couldn't help but ask after recovering from the shock.

"But, there's always a reason, right? Have you investigated the cause? Even such a powerful civilization has been destroyed, and one day the same disaster may come to us. ”

"The specific details are not clear, we only know that the Hui civilization was destroyed because of an experiment, and the specific experiment is still under investigation." The gatherer replied.

The other gatherer also replied, "We have long been aware of the problems you care about, which is why they are here." ”

After pondering for a moment, the Carter scholar asked another question.

"Since the Hui civilization appeared on this planet, is the birth of our Carter people directly related to the Hui civilization? Or maybe we are a side civilization derived from the Hui civilization. ”

"Why do you care about this?"

The gatherer felt that this was a strange question.

"This has a great impact on our civilized society."

Carters are no better than gatherers, they are more hypocritical, and they will think about where I came from? Where are you going? What did you come to earth for? These philosophical questions.

"The Hui civilization is an iron-based creature, and you are a carbon-based creature, so the side branch civilization is impossible, the combination of the underlying gene chain is different, as for the birth of your Carter, it should have nothing to do with the Hui civilization, it is unlikely, even if there is, it can only be that 'the Hui civilization has created a stable ecosystem on the Soli that is completely different from its own physiology, and this ecosystem has gone through hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and finally gave birth to you Carters."

"However, there is no way to verify, because too much time has passed, and even if there are traces of human alteration in your genes, 800 million years will be enough time for these traces to disappear."
