Chapter 14: A Major Discovery

"Zhong, we are not humanly interfering with nature, and the environment here will slowly improve without us."

"Of course, it's just that we've accelerated the change. As a result, the lake is no longer able to adapt to automatic shielding. Changing places is a must, and also to validate our inferences. A few people chatted while eating, and ate a few fish without wasting anything, and also put those small red shrimp into their backpacks.

In this way, several people burned three more fires without fatigue. The situation is the same as in the first fire, not only are large fish automatically sacrificed to extinguish the fire source, but also small fish and shrimp are thrown onto land in groups. Zhong and a few people made a bumper harvest of fish and shrimp, and the shore of the lake was also purified with a clear and bright lakeshore. Before you know it, it's a new day, and the morning sun is rising and shining. The shores of the lake are sparkling, the aquatic plants are green, and the fish are swimming among the aquatic plants. What a beautiful view, such a warm lake. Several people's backpacks are also full of small fish and shrimp.

"That's it, we can't eat it while it's burning."

"God, why don't you feel tired after a night, the fish and shrimp are really delicious."

"Foodie nature! Hey, how far we've burned out in half a day and a night, oh no, we're heading for that glittering lava mountain. What about lava mountains? ”

"It should still be on our right, yes, in that direction. Hey, why can't you see it? ”

"The lake is round, and it's normal that we can't see it because we're far away from the lava mountain. Zhong, go back, walk back along the shore of the lake. ”

The lake at night and the lake at night give people different senses, I thought that the clear lake water would be wide and long, but in fact it is a path, a path in the water. Thinking back to the fires, several people sighed again.

"Hey, last night's experience reminded me of the zombie encounter in Lava Village, and those dogs really had a spirit of sacrificing themselves to preserve their race. It's like when we burn a fire, big fish and small shrimp throw themselves into the fire, and big dogs rush over and zombies desperately. There is also this kind of sacrificial spiritual power in nature. ”

"Yes, it's like how many brave people sacrificed themselves to create the pinnacle of technological wonders by building ring heights."

"This is the law of nature, in ancient times, insects were eaten by their partners in order to continue their offspring, and some were hermaphrodites to adapt to the harsh living environment, and some... The multitude of life in nature is a mystery that we will never be able to solve. Although archaeological research is constantly changing its focus, these species are only superficially explored. ”

"Zhen, you're right, it seems that the willfulness of human beings has triggered the crazy revenge of animals and plants, but it is not that these animals and plants themselves have died together under intolerable circumstances. But none of the races went extinct, they just continued to thrive where humans could not reach. ”

"Humanity has lost its vitality and has no energy, and there is no need to continue to plague them. Who would dare to say that this is not nature's last resort for self-elimination. ”

"Both sides lost and went their separate ways, and started all over again. God, we know so little about ourselves but ourselves. ”

"It is also the inevitable outcome of the population explosion. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is an immutable law through the ages. It is also the trouble that human beings have created for themselves. ”

"Hey, I see the lava mountain, it's on the right."

"Why is it so bright, it was only a little glow in the direction of Lava Village, but now it is a bright and shiny piece."

"Distance, distance error. Zhong, looking at this distance, it is also difficult for us to walk to that place in the evening. Do you look ahead? ”

Right in front of everyone was a large ruin, and the steel bars and synthetic metal poles were sticking sharp heads above the dust of the ruins, and it looked like a jungle from a distance. It's not hard to imagine what it was like to be here. Several people walked on the surface of the thick dust, and under their feet were granular things, and beside them were those steel bars and metals of different lengths, all pointing straight to the sky, stubbornly refusing to be corroded by wind, frost, rain and snow. A person who accidentally hangs up his clothes is light, and being punctured in the skin is a small fight, and it is very likely to lose his life.

"Now I can't locate it, this was once a country that stood at the forefront of the world, the fastest developed science and technology, and these former high-rise buildings have not been weathered for more than 100 years."

"That's where our ancestors lived, and at that time it was one of the most populous countries in the world. And we are one of the fastest growing. ”

"Oh my God, we're in the land of our ancestors. It is said that at that time, our life was the envy of many people, yearning for the existence of jealousy and destruction. Wars are also the most frequent. ”

"These also promoted the rapid development of our ancestors in science and technology, and they were all leading in that field."

"In fact, when technology reaches a certain point, there is no choice for disaster. In the end, it is not the pinnacle of technology that breaks the national boundaries and unifies science and technology and creates the feat of Huangao in the universe. ”

"yes, now that I think about it, how ridiculous and funny the war for the earth's resources is. In the end, the different paths ended in the same end, the war eliminated the weak, the disease eliminated the unhealthy, and the natural disaster eliminated the undesirable. In the end, it is nature that has eliminated human beings, and human beings have brought disaster to nature. Life and death are still there, and the injured are all living beings, so why bother? ”

"People do not all grow up in self-reflection, and the world is moving forward in continuous forging. Everything is inevitable and lawful. Hey, it's a tough road. ”

"There's an open area ahead, so we'll rest there tonight. It's strange, I didn't feel tired when I was busy setting fires last night, but I'm so tired today. ”

"You know, last night was to contribute to nature, tired and comfortable, today is running towards the unknown, that's really tired. Fortunately, there is food and water, so that you don't have a deflated stomach to sleep. ”

"After a day's walk, I went from green to reddish-brown. What time is the end. ”

"The day the ring height was restored and opened to traffic. But when that day came, no one came to explore the earth anymore. Zhen, what do you usually do as an archaeologist? ”

"Look up the information, look at the screen, guess the puzzle, and solve the puzzle. It's also very busy, and it's always not as intuitive as it is now. We are equivalent to restoring part of the true appearance of history and being immersed in the scene, and we will not lose anything in this life. ”

"How did you rise to the height of this life, in fact, the history you guessed is not the original face of history. There are no witnesses to history anymore, just like those partners who have died in the past, and they have also died on the way to witness history. We don't know that day we will die and history will be taken away by us,"

"I can't stop my mouth when I eat, and the more I talk about this topic, the heavier it gets. Look at the glowing lava mountain in the distance, the flickering points of light during the day, how is it blue in the moonlight? ”

"No, I don't think it's red, and it's purple, oh, it's yellow."

"That's the result of the refraction of light, and you can see different colors from different angles, like a gem."

The night passed slowly in the gem dreams of several people. The moment I opened my eyes in the morning, the light in the distance was even more thrilling in front of several people. I didn't have time to guess what it was, and I ate small red shrimp as I walked through the steel alloy of the ruins. Finally, at noon, we arrived at the foot of the high lava mountain. Looking up at the top of the mountain, everyone was shocked and couldn't say anything.

Right at the top of the mountain, surrounded by a circle of colorful and shiny belts, all of which were gems that pierced the lava surface. Red, blue, yellow, purple, and sparkling white. The exposed area is large and small, the big one is connected to the city, and the small ones are broken and shimmering charmingly in the sun. It took a while for a few people to regain the language function.

"Good boy, it's all gems! A natural gem!! ”

"Clock, we're rich!"

"Yes, we got rich, what's the use of getting rich, this is to Baoshan empty-handed, so high we can climb up? If there is a lava eruption in the middle of the process, we may all get stuck in the lava and not be able to get out, and end up becoming gems. ”

"Zhen, you are studying archaeology, these gems are all corpse changes, bluffing, they are the crystallization of mineral condensation after tens of millions of years of wind and frost."

"I won't argue with you in this regard, the eruption of lava layer by layer, and the change of mineral structure under the action of high temperature, there is a qualitative change. And this change is instantaneous, otherwise there would be no pearl agate amber in later generations... You don't understand, what we've seen is synthetic, vivid, just like the real thing. ”

"Zhen, when it comes to gemstones, we really don't understand, tens of millions of years of geological structure changes, or it is also the speculation of later generations, but we are determined to get these gems, because we still have more than a dozen robot partners who need gem energy."

"Zhong, you're right, the energy gems of the robots are basically gone, and those will soon rust and turn into a pile of scrapped metal parts, and finally dissolve into time. Now for the sake of these robots, we also have to climb up and bring back the gems. ”

"Tree, I'll support you, and we'll climb this lava mountain."

"It's really a husband and wife. It's a must to go up, start climbing the mountain tomorrow and recharge your batteries this afternoon. ”

"Zhong, you have also learned badly, it looks like the sky is going to be dark, and it is really not a wise choice to go up the mountain now." The tree looked at the insect and said the clock.

In the evening, everyone rested for a few hours with their backs against the gem mountain, sorting the tools in their backpacks.

"Why are the nights so long here?"

"Are we so excited, do we have all the ropes with us?"

"Bring it, that's a must-have for our trip."

"Shovel?"

"It's all there, it's in your backpack."

"Light source?"

"I have one here, there are not many batteries, and I still took them out of the warehouse, and I have not been willing to use them."

......

"Food?"

"That thing took up space, so I brought a bag of dried shrimp."

"I don't think it's okay to bring anything with you, there is no shortage of bugs in the lava mountain, just summon them to eat at any time."

"Without knowledge, how can this be a pure lava mountain, if our knowledge of history is not based on complete speculation, this is originally a mountain, and what has become a gem is a rock."

"Agree with this inference, then this should be the site of a volcanic eruption. But now it has been planned to become an extinct volcano, otherwise the gems that changed the structure would not have been exposed. ”
