In the following time, Yuan Haochen and the strange creature had two more rounds of conversation.
During the conversation, one "sun" in the sky had set first, and the other sun continued to hang in the air.
It seems that the night of the Sand Star should be very short.
The strange creature was very cooperative throughout the communication process, perhaps he was also eager to understand the secret behind Yuan Haochen, and in the later communication process, he even tried to boldly take the initiative to ask Yuan Haochen some questions.
Of course, Yuan Haochen's answer was reserved, only revealing that the purpose of coming to this galaxy was to investigate and find some leftovers.
Relying on his relatively strong position and quick thinking and skills beyond that of the negotiators, Yuan gradually deciphered the story behind this bizarre Sand Star creature.
......
The race of this strange creature calls itself the Nameks (a few words chosen by Hara Chenchen based on the frequency of ultrasounds), and their race has lived on this planet for more than 30 million years since records began.
Of course, these 30 million years are their recorded history of existence, and perhaps in a much longer period they have already given birth to a more obscurantist primitive civilization, but there is no way to verify.
However, after 30 million years of development, today's Namek people are still so backward, which really makes Yuan Haochen and others feel extremely embarrassed.
Perhaps, the reason behind it is indeed as Yuan Chen speculated before, this is indeed an extremely resource-scarce planet, there are no rich metal deposits, and nearly 500 kinds of non-renewable energy have been packed and taken away by the creator's civilized world.
It is even more regrettable that, judging from the natural environment of Sand Star, even after 2.1 billion years, there is still a problem with the reaccumulation of fossil resources.
In the limited records of the Nameks, it is true that no ocean existed on the surface of the Sand Star. However, in earlier times, it was not as barren as it is now. At that time, the oases on the surface of the Sand Star were slightly larger in number and area than they are now.
The Nameks were born in a relatively good era, and they lived in the waters of the oasis from the earliest times, from which their ancestors evolved. However, at the beginning of the prosperity of the Namek civilization, the environment on the surface of the planet changed drastically. A large number of oases began to dry up, and the already thin natural environment was almost forced to collapse, and more and more plants and animals went to extinction.
The Nameks have also been brutally struck by natural disasters, and the fledgling ethnic groups are on the verge of extinction.
Fortunately, some of the people found the underground river through the source of the lake bottom and reached the underground world connected to it while searching for water.
They were amazed to find that almost every oasis lake had an underground world beneath the water, but it was either deep or shallow from the ground.
Although the underground world is dark and lightless, the Namerks' body structure has an ultrasonic transmission and reception system, so it does not prevent them from surviving here.
The Nameks gradually observed that all of the underworld was not naturally generated. Moreover, each underground city has a very majestic building complex, as well as a complete survival system, in addition to relying on the underground river water circulation system, the very developed underground microbial world also provides sufficient food for the survival of the Namek people.
However, from the conversation of the sand stars, Yuan Haochen could not judge whether they needed to take oxygen for the time being.
Yuan speculated that if needed, they might be able to take in oxygen from an underground river like deep-sea fish.
However, it is not known whether there is an ecosystem in the underground river that produces or circulates oxygen.
It was God who saved them at the most critical moment!!
The Nameks were convinced of this.
They believe that the gods had foreseen this catastrophe a long time ago, and they created the underground world in advance, and guided the Nameks to live underground (other species cannot survive in the underground world like them), so as to escape the disaster and continue the fire of civilization.
Since then, the Nameks have been living underground, and they have found that the living environment of the underground world is much milder than the harsh natural environment on the surface, so the originally endangered ethnic groups have flourished again, and the population of the ethnic group has gradually become much larger than before.
However, there is a serious problem with living in the underworld, as the eye-like light receptors that the Nameks have evolved have begun to deteriorate severely over the years.
The Namerk elite believe that it was the God of Salvation who created the underground world, and claim that the God of Salvation has communicated with them in a special way and transmitted the blessings of the gods, hoping that the Namek people can continue to thrive in the underground world.
Later, the Namerk elite issued a decree requiring all the people to worship the creator of the underground city as the supreme god, and to follow the god's instructions to forbid the Namerk to return to the surface world again.
......
Yuan Chen: "You violated the laws of the clan and came to the surface world. ”
Popodam: "Yes, I have found that the terrestrial world, while still very barren, is not as hostile as it has been recorded in history. ”
After practice and upgrading, the language translation system is much more optimized than before, and the various language expressions and feedback are already very smooth.
Hara Chen: "What prompted you to end up violating the law?" ”
Bopodam: "We shouldn't lose our sight, if we live in the underworld, the Namerks will survive, and our world will stand still forever." ”
Hara: "Indeed, having eyes is a great leap forward in the evolutionary process of living things. ”
Hara noticed that one of Bopodam's tentacles had been blocking in front of his "eye".
It is clear that his eyes have deteriorated badly and can no longer withstand the intense light.
Bopodam: "I thought that the Nameks might be able to use the water from the underground river to transform the surface of the earth and create a new home. ”
Hara Haochen: "I agree with your idea, but your idea is incompatible with the decrees of the ruling class. ”
Bopodam: "You're right, the magnates slander our plan to drain the blood of the underground city, saying that we are blasphemous demons who want to destroy the underground city!" ”
Hara Chen: "Radical and blind religious beliefs are sometimes just tools of the ruling class. ”
Bobodam: "I can probably see what you mean. ”
Yuan Haochen: "Do you think that the God of Salvation created the underground world for you?" ”
Bopodam: "I thought it was now, but now I don't think so. ”
Yuan Haochen: "Why do you say that? ”
Bopotim: "Because Bopotim and I have made new discoveries in the underworld. ”
Hara Chen: "Bobotim? ”
Bopodam: "It's the other Namek I was talking about. ”
Bopodam relaxed, and he began to pick up a piece of "gravel" from the ground with his tentacles and stuff it into his mouth.
Yuan Haochen: "You eat stones? ”
Bopodam: "It's not a stone, it's a plant that combines with grains of sand, and the Nameks used it for food when they lived on the ground. ”
Yuan Haochen: "I see, it's a good food, which can supplement various minerals. ”
Yuan Haochen grabbed a piece of "gravel" from the ground and crushed it without much effort.
Bopodam: "What are minerals?" ”
Hara Chen: "Minerals are a general term for inorganic matter in living organisms, which come from the land and nature. ”
Bopodam: "I don't know, maybe it's something that Bopotim and I found in the underground city." ”
Yuan Haochen: "By the way, what did you find in the underground city?" ”
Bopodam: "We've found something strange. They are lifeless, large, hard, and not made of stone and soil, or other plant materials. ”
Yuan Chen: "Metal materials? Mechanical equipment? ”
Bobodam: "What are metallic materials and machinery?" ”
Yuan Chen: "Metal materials are some substances buried or combined in the earth, and the machinery and equipment you find should be tools for building underground cities and finding metal materials and other materials. ”
Bopodam: "Why didn't we find the metal you said in the land?" ”
Yuan Haochen: "I think this question is still difficult for you to understand. ”
Bopodam: "They've all been taken away by the God of Savior, aren't they?" ”
Yuan Haochen: "This is the main reason, but the salvation god can't take it all away, it's just that it's difficult for you to continue refining the part that is left." ”
Bopodam: "Actually, the underground city wasn't built for the Nameks, it's actually a place used by the Salvation God to find the minerals you said, right?" ”
Yuan Haochen: "This ......, what you said is basically right!" ”
It is indeed a very ironic thing, the underground city was once considered by the Nameks to be a holy place to save their civilization. In fact, the underground city and the reason for its birth have become the shackles that restrict the development of Namek civilization.
Thinking of this, Yuan Haochen couldn't bear to reveal the truth to Bopodam.
Yuan Haochen pondered for a while, and then continued to ask, "Can you describe your discovery to me in detail?" ”
At this time, Yuan Haochen had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the Sand Star, and he had some new ideas in his heart about how to find the scientific relics of the Creator next...... (To be continued.) )
