Chapter 688: Super Virus Reappears!
Archaeology has always been the most popular discipline in hemispheric civilizations.
Since the completion of industrialization, they only need to eat a little of the legacy of the First Age to be able to take off in science. Obviously, this kind of old-fashioned activity can continue for a long, long time...... Even if there is something, the hemisphere can't eat it thoroughly.
For example, the most cutting-edge brain technology, there are some differences between the brains of the two species, so there is no way to copy it directly. The lack of information makes the hemisphere very anxious.
The standard for the classification of indigenous civilizations below the first level is the energy level that they can control, like the human civilization in the early 21st century, which is a civilization of 0.73. Therefore, the civilization of 0.9 is still quite powerful, and it is only one step away from the first-level civilization that can really get out of the starry sky.
Unfortunately, after a long period of excavation, the entire planet's underground remains are gradually being depleted.
The era between the first and second epochs is more than 100,000 years, and many materials have not been well preserved. Just like the puzzle, hemispheres struggle to find that a large piece of the puzzle is missing, and the more high-end the industry, the more key pieces are missing.
Most of the excavated machines have become scrap metal, and it is difficult to analyze the specific data of the memory chips inside.
This fact pained them immensely.
So what should be done?
Naturally, they turned their attention to the north and south poles of the planet, and many experts believe that the inaccessible region is likely to preserve the richest legacy of the First Age!
The north and south poles of Karina are covered with large glaciers several kilometers thick, and in the first era, more than 100,000 years ago, due to the greenhouse effect, the climate of the planet was a little warmer than in the second era. At that time, the glaciers were not so thick, and subsequent glaciers were regenerated in these hundreds of thousands of years.
The oceans reabsorb excess carbon dioxide, slowing down the greenhouse effect and lowering the temperature of the entire planet again.
So, theoretically, there are many scientific relics of the First Age buried in the glaciers.
Glaciers are a very good means of protection, almost completely enclosed occasions, much more effective than moist soils.
With this in mind, an ambitious international expedition team set out.
Mining the remains of a glacier in a cold environment is not easy, but with the support of a large amount of money, the technology of the hemisphere is up to the task. All kinds of large-scale mining machinery excavate the glaciers of the Arctic and Antarctic day and night.
After some efforts, the expedition team members found a large scientific refuge site.
They crept inside and found that the equipment inside was completely amazing!
They even found the "corpse" of the First Age "multispheres"!
Many, many "corpses"!
Hibernators, to be exact!
Some of the leaders of the multi-sphere civilization of the First Age, in the last moments of despair, have frozen themselves in hibernation chambers, waiting for future generations to rescue them...... What miracles might happen?
It's a pity that their entire civilization didn't solve the problem in the end, and there were no descendants to save them.
Due to the loss of electricity, no one knows whether the hibernators are dead or alive, but the climate in this area is cold enough that even without electricity, the hibernators are still frozen.
To the greatest excitement and frenzy of the hemispheres, they discovered that the excavated scientific relics contained almost the entire set of materials from the First Age! This is the multi-ball civilization carefully preserved in order to restart the civilization, if this disaster is survived, the multi-ball people still want to rely on these materials to resurrect......
I didn't expect to cheapen the hemisphere civilization of the Second Age......
"It's really developed now!"
It was in this piece of information that the expedition team finally discovered the terrifying truth about the extinction of the First Age!
"Biovirus!"
At the end of the biochemical catastrophe, the First Age "Multispheres" did not give up hope, and they have been trying various biochemical experiments, including virus healing drugs, hibernation, cloning and other technologies to prevent the extinction of civilization.
It's just a pity that technology takes time to accumulate, and the millions of years of history of multi-ball civilizations have all been spent on virtual games and electronic poisons......
……
Zhang Yuan turned here and found that it was the last page of the information, and the back was all blank.
He couldn't help but ask, "What about next?" ”
It's as uncomfortable as if you're looking at it and suddenly it's interrupted. Most of the members in the room had the same expression.
"Don't have any follow-up information?"
Lao Yang cleared his throat and explained, "...... The rest of the history, those hemispheres have not provided for the time being, we only know a general idea, through this information, we should also be able to understand a part of this civilization. Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to listen to stories, we need to analyze whether this hemispheric civilization that requires the formation of an alliance is reliable and what their ideology is......"
"A more detailed history will only be given by the other party when we cooperate and communicate in an all-round way...... After all, this kind of cooperation requires both sides to understand each other, not to understand each other unilaterally. ”
"They also need historical materials from our side."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Lao Yang, I advise you to finish the story first, so that you can't go up or down, but no one is willing to help you analyze it." ”
Everyone laughed.
Lao Yang pondered for a while and said, "The next historical trend is probably like this...... The explorers of that group brought out some of the First Age hibernators from the ruins, and the expedition members believed that if they could resurrect the First Age hibernators, there would be no doubt that they would be in the best interest......"
"But what they didn't expect was that this exploration plan would cause a big disaster!"
“…… The hibernating ones did not come back to life, but an ancient virus hidden in the ruins leaked! These viruses have even mutated a lot because of the passage of time! ”
The original biological virus was created by the fifth-level civilization Green Star civilization, and the specific virus to deal with the multi-sphere civilization was tailor-made, and even biological relatives would not be infected.
Once the polysphere becomes extinct, the virus will have no host, and it will naturally become extinct along with it, and will not destroy the natural ecological environment.
But now more than 100,000 years have passed, and after this terrifying virus has been resurrected, I don't know what happened, and uncontrollable mutations have been produced! The nature of this virus has changed horribly, and it has begun to infect all kinds of organisms on the planet on a large scale.
"Infecting all kinds of organisms on a large scale?"
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, this kind of thing...... It seems a little incredible.
Because of the reproduction of the virus, the requirements for the environment are very high, and protein matching is required. Just as AIDS only infects T lymphocytes, Ebola attacks dendritic cells, all types of hepatitis infect the patient's liver through mucous membranes or body fluids, and genital warts infect epithelial cells...... Viruses infect cells conditionally.
Of course, the creation virus of the legendary fifth-level civilization may not be the same as the traditional virus, which is a point worth studying.
