Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 56 Natural Disasters
For a long time, Lao Fang had a feeling that he was watching a fantasy blockbuster, and he seriously suspected that when the Creation Jade Disc created this world, he might have adjusted a certain parameter too high, resulting in these creatures in front of him being extremely intelligent, and even an ordinary beast couldn't see where there was any ignorance and stupidity.
The beasts in front of them, all of them seemed to have become essences, and they were chattering and bargaining with the Xuanhuang people, their eyes were sometimes dazed, sometimes they flashed, and it could be seen that they were thinking.
Can these guys in front of them still be called beasts?
Isn't the beast supposed to act on instinct?
He had the heart to ask Dao Zu, isn't the world in front of him arranged according to a certain script in order to improve the watchability?
But when I put my mind down and study it carefully, the world in front of me is more like a world built in strict accordance with the laws of physics, whether it is from a macroscopic point of view or a microscopic description, the formation and extinction of each creature is not the arrangement of the plot, but the real thing.
From this aspect, it can be seen that Dao Ancestor is clever.
Maybe I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain.
However, he thought of another question, even if the Jade Disc was manipulating all aspects of the entire world according to the script, with its vast supernatural powers, how could there be a flaw in such a low-level issue as animal intelligence?
If there is a problem with this place, even such an inferior level of self can see it, isn't Dao Ancestor clear?
Maybe it's because I have an inherent view of primitive people and beasts, so I've been underestimating them.
He focused on recalling his experience on Earth, he had a dog, and he tried to recall the bits and pieces of that dog, but fortunately, this memory is still there.
Through his memories of the dog, he suddenly discovered that animals, although they seemed stupid, were actually extremely intelligent, and he often heard some lace news that an animal could do arithmetic, smoke, and use fire to make barbecues, and that all the animals in the circus could perform certain shows after training.
Through the example of this dog and some other animals on the earth, compared with the beasts in front of him, he felt that these behaviors in front of him, which originally felt rebellious, were suddenly completely acceptable.
It seems that he is completely wrong to blame Dao Zu, and there is no need for Dao Zu to do anything on this issue. After thinking about it, as long as Dao Zu is willing, he can completely turn the entire Xuanhuang prehistory into a myth, why bother to create a fantasy world.
Lao Fang figured this out, and no longer doubted the authenticity of the world in front of him, and he accepted the society in front of him from the heart.
However, Lao Fang was a little worried, because according to the current trend, whether it is the Xuanhuang people or the Yalongs, it is very likely that they have already developed a spaceship that broke out of their own planetary system in prehistory, after all, there are still more than a million years before the historical society mentioned by Dao Ancestor.
With the wisdom of these two races, as well as their current strength, it is impossible to say anything without creating something.
Spring goes to autumn, two hundred years of war, the beasts on the entire Xuanhuang Star have been sharply reduced by seventy, and the herbivores have ushered in an explosive period, and the natural enemies are sparse, which is a rare opportunity for them.
Soon, the number of herbivores, which had a large base, skyrocketed, and each population was breeding with full firepower.
In less than a decade, the number of herbivores has more than doubled, and the ecosystem is finally unable to sustain this overload.
Under the bottomless gnawing of herbivores, countless vegetation is gnawed, and the sun is steaming, and the soil, which has lost the protection of vegetation, cannot retain enough water, and gradually dries out and slowly desertifies.
Desertification is getting more and more serious, and seeing patches of originally green grasslands slowly swallowed up by the desert, Lao Fang has an indescribable distress.
Compared with the desert, the grassland is simply a biological paradise, countless insects have their own habitat here, countless snakes and rats live and work here, there are many omnivorous small animals here to suck the nectar of the grass tip, cattle, sheep and red deer can run here, and wolves and lions can also forage here......
But now, it has become a desert, the sand is hot during the day, and the grit is cold at night, where plants cannot take root and animals cannot find water......
Because of the large number of plants and the decrease in plants, herbivores can no longer be blessed by nature, they become disasters, and nature is the first to clean them up.
Due to the lack of food, large numbers of herbivores starved to death on the roadside, and the carnivores did not have enough ability to digest their carcasses, so nature distributed them to microorganisms and let them slowly dissolve, whether it was flesh or bones, they were slowly turned into nutrients and returned to the barren land.
But the process is too slow, the harmful gases decomposed from the decomposing corpses are diffused in the air, and the piles of mosquitoes are also too good to reproduce, causing the number to skyrocket.
These mosquitoes are not satisfied with rotten flesh, they also covet fresh flesh, so they attack the living animals.
Under the spread of mosquitoes, some germs have been given a living environment, and they have the advantage of numbers, overthrowing the suppression of white blood cells, successfully occupying blood vessels, internal organs and other military points, and ending the life of a certain animal that was originally alive and kicking as quickly as possible.
The cost is huge, the entire ecosystem has been affected, and even the Xuanhuang people and Yalongs have paid a terrible price.
However, all this, including the Xuanhuang people and the Yalongs, didn't know why the world had become like this, and only the old man who was observing from the sidelines knew it.
Plagues spread everywhere, when these plagues spread, the genes of some organisms began to modify against these germs, this is the biological self-correction, the stronger the will, the faster this correction, the weak-willed individual, in some kind of negativity, can not complete the transformation at all, so they die.
Lao Fang observed the world, and he felt that his knowledge was actually growing, and the issues he was considering were becoming more and more profound.
In the past, he had never thought about the world of microorganisms, but now, he has gradually developed the habit of thinking about problems from the perspective of the microcosm.
Nature is merciless, but also amorous, and her punishment has drastically reduced the number of animals in the whole world, but at the same time, she has silently helped the surviving species in places that ordinary people cannot discover, and improved her own quality.
Many organisms have immunity to a certain germ in their genes, and this immunity will be passed on to their offspring, and when their descendants encounter the current situation, they may survive the existential crisis without much effort.
Nature is constantly exercising its creatures according to its own rules, and she is constantly spurring the creatures under her command, so that they continue to grow and break through, instead of blindly being happy and blindly not knowing how to make progress.
The survival of the fittest may seem unsympathetic, but it is nature's greatest gift.
The Xuanhuang people were also overstretched when dealing with this war without gunpowder, and at the beginning, the plague spread extremely fast, and they did not have time to react at all.
And as the plague intensified, a series of absurd treatments appeared, what to worship and pray to God, what to give one's own flesh to the river......
But it was fire that really suppressed the plague.
It's a fantasy guy who has people piling up corpses and putting them in a hunch.
The flames are ever-changing, as if they are reading the will of a certain god, so this method is gradually accepted by most Xuanhuang people.
The reason is very simple, it is not yourself who is burned, but the corpse that has died, and you don't have to pay anything, and you can get spiritual comfort.
The plague was brought under control, and the places where mosquitoes could infest were reduced, and the space for germs to survive was gradually reduced.
In the thirtieth year after the signing of the peace contract, the whole Xuanhuang Star regained its vitality, and nature finally reached a certain equilibrium, and the first to feel the gift of nature were the plants, which gladly absorbed the nutrients that the earth had received from the animals, and then marched towards the desert with a high fighting spirit in order to recover the lost land.
Nature is on their side, and under its control, the dark clouds send rain, paving the way for the plant army with a silent gesture of moisturizing things.
When the grass seeds ripen in autumn, it brings in strong winds to spread the grass seeds farther.
Animals that feed on plants have also come out of the slump, and many of them have disappeared, but there are many more that are unfamiliar to the old side.
For example, when a population could no longer get food on the ground, they turned their eyes to the trees and kept their necks up to eat the leaves, until the disaster passed, and their necks were like giraffes.
Most of the carnivores did not change much, a number of deaths, but there were also many births, after all, the disaster did not last very long.
Only a handful of populations that were already on the verge of extinction have been affected by this turmoil and have completely disappeared into history.
This situation made the old party embarrassed, but there was nothing to be done. He focused on many familiar races, including the mammalian camp, the wolf, the iron-backed ape, the mammoth, the long-armed baboon, the silver-threaded rhinoceros, the red-haired pig, the griffin, the golden-clawed eagle, and the three-headed bird......
The crawling army includes giant dragons, six-clawed pterosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, cangsaurus, mega-ringed dragons, earth dragons, and earth-digging dragons......
These familiar creatures are still there, which comforts Lao Fang, who hopes to see them in the midst of war next time, after all, peace is never nature's theme song.
Seeing that everyone was there, Lao Fang was relieved, he exhaled lightly, and then changed the speed of time.
Time flies, even more so at a hundred-fold speed deliberately driven by the old party, alternating day and night, the cycle of the four seasons, everything is turned into a certain picture in an instant.
The old man took his focus away from the ground, and he looked at the sky, the starry sky was mesmerized, as if calling him to go and find out.
But the old man resisted this impulse, his eyes fell on the game "Prehistory", thought about it, and entered the game again.
