752. Civilization in the depths of the ocean
Carrie was full of praise for the shrimp meat that Goofy brought back, and ate one piece after another, quite unsatisfied.
"Dad, where did you buy this shrimp? It's big, fresh, and delicious! ”
The little girl looked up at Gao Fei and asked.
"In one ...... Let's take a seafood market. Goofy didn't plan to tell Carrie about Blue Star, he was worried that Carrie wouldn't be able to go to the universe and swallow a few planets to satisfy her hunger, so he casually made up a lie to prevaricate the past.
Fortunately, the little girl would not use mind reading on Gao Fei under normal circumstances, otherwise Gao Fei would be in danger of being a goofy on the spot.
After feeding Carrie, Goofy returns to his study, and after Carrie leaves, Goofy enters the baby universe again.
In fact, the universe at this time is no longer a baby universe, after all, she has given birth to her own life, although the life on the blue star is the result of Gao Fei's human intervention, but this also shows that the process of the universe has taken a big step forward.
Coming to Blue Star again, the temperature on the planet has dropped a little bit compared to before, the sea level has dropped a bit, the land area in the eastern part of the planet is larger, and there are some towering peaks in the western part of the planet.
And these surfacing peaks still have traces of being washed by the ocean, and some of the soil even has fossils of marine life, one of which is a huge fossil of a creature that is fifteen meters long, and the shape of a claw can be seen at the front of the torso, which is the kind of strange shrimp that Gao Fei has just eaten, an oversized leather shrimp.
"Oops, this shrimp can't be extinct, right? If Carrie argues that I want shrimp to eat, where can I give her delicious shrimp? Gao Fei had a headache, "It's better to hurry up and develop new ingredients, so that Carrie likes the new and hates the old, and forgets about shrimp meat......"
Standing on the top of the mountains in the west, looking at the entire blue planet, Goofy thought to himself, "I don't know what happened to those little snakes I transformed last time." ”
With a thought in his mind, Goofy began to search the entire planet for their tracks, and soon he had the answer - the descendants of these creatures had fled to the depths of the warm waters of the Northern Hemisphere.
Clenching his fists, Goofy used the Space Gem in the Infinity Gauntlet to teleport himself to the location of these creatures, and at a distance of fifteen hundred meters below sea level, Goofy found the offspring of these creatures.
After a long period of evolution and evolution, these little snakes have become unrecognizable, very different from the last time Goofy saw them.
They look more like fish now, and they are modern fish, they are a bit like oversized carp, except that the fins are larger and wider.
And the guys seem to have learned to work together and use simple tools – Goofy watched as three foraging fish picked up a large shellfish and threw it slamming into the reef to get the meat.
"Looks like you've evolved well......"
Gao Fei nodded slightly, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
The current speed is fast, but it is still too slow to evolve into intelligent beings.
"I'm going to have to speed you up......"
Goofy enters the microcosm again, dismantling the genes of these fish - their brains are too small, which is related to their body structure, their brains are usually only responsible for controlling the fins and tails, and the most complex action is just lifting shellfish and throwing them at the corals - this level of behavior cannot promote the development of their brains and thus generate consciousness, and Goofy must make them have a more complex structure.
On this basis, Goofy began to drastically modify these fishes, retaining the aquatic characteristics of these fishes, but incorporating primate characteristics into them.
After modifying the genetic structure, Gao Fei began to promote them to continue to reproduce, and the genetic changes were not obvious in the current generation, but they were already very intuitively reflected in the second generation.
The fins at the front of the torso of the second generation of fish have changed and have begun to become stronger and more slender, while the head of the fish has protruded forward, completely detached from the torso.
This generation of fish has developed stronger fins and more sophisticated tools, allowing some to lift shellfish and throw them at the coral with their fins, rather than teamwork.
The third generation of fish has changed even more, and the fins in their front have become more like the forelimbs of mammals, and although they have not evolved such complex organs, the forelimbs are already very powerful.
At the same time, these fish have more independent heads, and their torsos have become more primate-like, but their tails are still similar to those of fish, and their large tail fins are getting larger.
Next comes the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations......
Over the years, these fish have evolved more and more apparently.
It wasn't until three million years later that these fish completely changed their form.
They have a human-like head, torso, and upper limbs, but the lower half of their bodies resemble that of a large fish, and they breathe with their gills, but they are skilled at using their hands as tools.
Goofy looked at the creature he had created in the deep sea and nodded with satisfaction.
Like a mermaid-like species in a Western story, this will be the first intelligent creature to exist on this planet, and even in the entire universe.
"I'll give you a name, let's call it Sea Clan...... The race in the ocean is also the oldest race on the planet. ”
Goofy whispered, wandering around the Sea Clan.
But at this time, the Sea Clan's mind is not civilized, they only have the most basic memory, and they will react instinctively based on experience, but other than that, they are far from intelligent beings.
"I still need to give them some guidance......
Goofy whispered, then aligned his time with theirs before entering their habitat.
……
Today's sea tribes are all over the ocean, and there are at least tens of thousands of sea tribes throughout the ocean, and they live in groups and are divided into different communities, each of which has about three or four male sea tribes and dozens of female sea tribes of different ages.
Goofy chooses one of the Sea Tribes and tries to join them, but Goofy's integration is not easy, and the Sea Tribes have a strong rejection of foreign species.
When Goofy appeared, several young female sea tribes in the community bravely came out and appeared in front of Goofy.
These female sea tribes are very similar to the mermaids in the movie, they have the same upper body as humans, and the lower body like dolphins and whales, because they live in the water all year round, their skin is crystal clear, and they can be blown apart.
However, the creatures that looked almost human-like lacked basic intelligence, much to Goofy's pity, waved his hand at the female sea tribes in his way, motioning for them to get out of the way.
It's a pity that the female sea clan didn't have this awareness, they angrily besieged Gao Fei, Gao Fei smiled helplessly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The bodies of two of the four sea tribes suddenly stopped, and then they looked at each other in shock, and then the bodies of the two sea tribes began to turn to ashes, slowly dissipating in the ocean along the current.
"Hmm!"
"Hmm!"
The rest of the Sea Clans were shocked by their teammate's sudden death and cried out in horror - they knew the most primitive fears though their minds were not open.
At this time, Goofy snapped his fingers again, and the ashes in the ocean current were reunited, and the two female sea tribes who had disappeared came back to life and returned to the front of everyone.
They looked at each other, and they panicked.
The Sea Clan who witnessed all this only knew that their kind disappeared and were reborn, but they couldn't figure out what the connection was.
They were stunned for a moment, and then waved their arms and rushed towards Goofy, they still couldn't understand Goofy's power, they were a group of inferior creatures after all.
Goofy was very patient, raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.
Two more female sea tribes turned into ashes and disappeared in the shocked eyes of everyone.
The Sea Clan screamed and stopped their siege of Goofy, and they seemed to come to their senses.
Goofy snapped his fingers again, and everything was restored.
The same thing happened three times, and then three times, and then three times.
Eventually, Goofy finally taught these Sea Tribes awe—a higher fear that evolved from fear.
When in the end, even if Goofy didn't snap his fingers, these Sea Clans were respectful and bowed to him, Goofy understood that they had been tamed, and now Goofy could enter the Sea Clan community and teach them something more complicated.
The Sea Clan women who had come to drive Goofy began to surround Goofy, swimming slowly and regularly slowly, and after seeing Goofy's behavior of not attacking them, these female Sea Clan got closer, gently rubbing Goofy with their slippery bodies, so that they had physical contact with each other.
Goofy had observed the Sea Clan for millions of years, and he knew that this was the Sea Clan's way of expressing friendliness, and he also learned to swim like the Sea Clan women, and rubbed his body against the Sea Clan's body.
This strange and solemn "ceremony" lasted for about half an hour, and then the women of the Sea Tribes entered their community with Gao Fei, and the male Sea Tribes in the group also greeted them, and they did not show any hostility towards Gao Fei again.
For the rest of the year, Goofy took the sea tribe to hunt and harvest in the ocean.
And when prey appears, Goofy will twist his body to signal the sea tribe.
At first, the Sea Clan didn't understand the meaning of Goofy's twisting his body, they were just attracted by Goofy's "strange" behavior, but after cooperation and communication, they began to realize that Goofy was sending a message to them, and the writhing of his body had a fixed meaning.
So the sea tribes who followed the high-flying hunt learned this method, because they found that it could transmit the location and situation of their prey more quickly.
They learned how to twist their bodies at high flying, how to twist their bodies to indicate that they have found their prey, how to twist their bodies to indicate that their prey has fled, and how to twist their bodies to indicate that their prey is too big and that it would be dangerous to catch them......
And imperceptibly, Goofy taught these sea tribes the most important point - information transmission.
When the Sea Clan mastered the essence of information transmission, Goofy quietly left the colony and withdrew from the Sea Clan's life.
At this time, the wisdom of the sea clan was not opened, and they did not know the meaning of separation.
They only vaguely noticed that the strange man who often took them out hunting with them and taught them to twist their bodies to convey messages was gone.
The Sea Clan didn't react much to Goofy's disappearance, and soon they forgot about Goofy and went about their lives.
It's just that none of them notice that their lives have been turned upside down.
The Sea Tribes used their bodies to transmit messages, which greatly improved their work efficiency — the number of prey they caught increased because the risk of being killed by powerful prey during the hunt decreased — and in this case, the number of Sea Tribes in this colony increased dramatically, and a few years later the colony became the largest Sea Tribes community in the nearby seas.
The frequent use of gestures to transmit information has exercised the brains of these sea tribes, making them smarter, and after becoming smarter, the sea tribes have begun to improve their communication methods - it is too clumsy to use body twists to transmit messages, is there a better way to replace it?
Some clever sea tribes accidentally invented gestures under further research - long-distance information communication can be done with the body, but close information communication with gestures is more convenient, the five fingers on the hand are more flexible, can transmit more and more complex messages, and gestures to transmit messages are also more convenient, much stronger than clumsy body communication.
As a result, sign language appeared, and within a short time it became the main mode of communication used between the sea tribes, which quickly replaced the wriggling method of transmission.
Seeing this, Gao Fei was very pleased.
The enhancement of information transmission and the application of the hand are now mastered by the Sea Clan, and they have the qualifications to evolve into higher intelligence.
And the communities that were raised by Gao Fei have become more and more powerful, and they have swallowed up dozens of small sea tribe communities in the nearby seas, as if they have formed an empire entrenched in the depths of the ocean!
"Civilization is about to be established, let me witness it all......"
Goofy hid in the corner of the planet and watched them silently, waiting for the birth of the Sea Clan civilization.
But just then, another sea tribe caught Goofy's attention, coming from the far eastern seas, but with the same body structure and behavior as the sea tribes of the northern seas.
Gao Fei vaguely remembered that these Eastern Sea Tribes seemed to have a strong connection with the Northern Sea Tribe, and that they were once an offshoot that had escaped from the huge colony of the Northern Sea Tribes hundreds of years ago.
At that time, the Northern Sea Tribe's community was not as large as it is today, and it was a strong male Sea Tribe's leader who had dozens of female Sea Tribes, each of whom bore several children to him.
Among these spouses, there is a female spouse with a beautiful face, who is most favored by the Sea Clan's chief, who has already given birth to three babies for the Sea Clan's chief, and is now pregnant again in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the female Sea Tribes, jealous, gathered together to launch a siege on the female Sea Tribes and her children, and while the Sea Tribe's leader was away, the jealous female Sea Tribes drove the favored female Sea Tribes and several of her children out of the northern colony.
After being banished, the favored female Sea Tribes swam all the way to the eastern seas, and finally miraculously survived......
And now, these Dongfang Sea Clans who appeared in Gao Fei's field of vision are the descendants of the exiled woman back then.
It's just that the number of these Eastern Sea Tribes is thin, only a few tenths of the number of the Northern Sea Tribes community, and their bodies are not very strong, so they don't seem to have any advantages.
Goofy hid behind the scenes and watched all this silently, but he felt quite interesting in his heart.
"The Prince's Revenge? It's just that the strength of the Dongfang Sea Clan is still too weak......"
But just as Goofy finished saying this, he discovered one thing - although the number of the Eastern Sea Clan was small, they could use weapons.
The leader of the Eastern Sea Clan was a young man with long blue hair, and he held a sharp, sharp trident in his hand, the tip of which was probably made of the bones of some kind of sea creature, and shimmered in the deep sea!
"Do you already know how to use weapons? That's an advantage......" Goofy looked at the blue-haired Sea Clan leader, "I'll call you the Blue King, well, the Blue King, no......"
As Gao Fei observed the Oriental Sea Clan, he found that the Oriental Sea Tribes also had another characteristic - they evolved a language, and they communicated with each other using language, rather than gestures similar to those of the Northern Sea Clan.
This is related to the geographical location of the Eastern Seas, which are deeper, and it is difficult for sporadic rays of light to penetrate the surface of the sea into the sea, and the Sea Tribes themselves have no light source, which makes it difficult for them to see each other's gestures.
The northern sea is shallow, and the light in the water is brighter because of the direct light of the stars in this area, so the sea tribes can clearly see each other's gestures.
Because of this, the Oriental Sea Clan, who could not see gestures clearly, learned to use sound to convey signals, and although their language was still relatively simple, with only a few simple words at the moment, this was already a great improvement for the Sea Clan.
"Interesting, it seems that this revenge victory is in suspense...... Gao Fei said with a smile.
The real battle for revenge began five days later, with the Blue King and his Eastern Sea Clan scouting the nearby seas before taking revenge.
At this time, the northern sea tribe was still immersed in the prosperity and strength of their community, and in addition to tasting the food they hunted every day, they were lying on the coral to rest, and their lives were quite comfortable.
Therefore, when the Blue King appeared, the guards of the Northern Sea Clan thought that they were just a small tribe that came to take refuge nearby.
It wasn't until the vanguard of the Eastern Sea Tribes pierced the chests of the Northern Sea Tribes with sharp spears, and when their green blood spread in the blue sea, that the Northern Sea Tribes knew that these scarce Sea Tribes were not small tribes that had come to take refuge, but an army that had come to take revenge.
The Northern Sea Clan guards who fled from the desert writhed their bodies wildly in the water, conveying signals to their accomplices in the distance, but fortunately, the Northern Sea Clan had a mature defense mechanism, and the news of the enemy's invasion was immediately transmitted to the leader.
The leader of the Northern Sea Clan was furious and led his men to pour out of the nest, although they did not have as advanced weapons as the Eastern Sea Clan, but the Northern Sea Clan had a numerical advantage.
The huge army turned the entire northern sea upside down, and they formed a fan-shaped encirclement of the Eastern Sea Clan in an instant, although the Eastern Sea Clan's weapons were more lethal, their numerical disadvantage was too great.
Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but sweat for the Blue King.
"Weapons alone are not enough to accomplish revenge, you have to have a more powerful killer weapon to do it."
Actually, the Blue King really has it.
When he saw the Northern Sea Clan pouring out, he immediately fled to the east with his men.
They brutally killed dozens of guards of the Northern Sea Clan, of course, the leader of the Northern Sea Clan could not let them retreat, the army of the Northern Sea Clan followed, chasing the Blue King all the way to the Eastern Sea.
However, for the northern sea tribes who have never traveled eastward, this area of the eastern sea is too unfamiliar, the dim light, the turbid sea water, the environment here makes the northern sea tribes begin to be restless, and they don't even know whether to advance or retreat.
The leader of the Northern Sea Clan hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to pursue for the time being, although he didn't understand the truth of the poor Kou Mo Chasing, but he also knew that the environment in front of him was too unfamiliar to the Northern Sea Clan and not suitable for combat.
He turned around and gestured to his subordinates and ordered him to retreat immediately, but the visibility here was too poor, and the gesturing could not be seen by his subordinates.
The leader began to panic, twisting his body frantically to convey the message, but the light around him became dimer and dimer, and he could barely reach out his fingers.
The other northern sea tribes were also unable to communicate, their way of transmitting information completely collapsed at this moment, no one knew the orders of the leader, no one saw the signals of their comrades around them, they became blind at this moment, and they were all "dumb".
Just when the northern sea tribe was in chaos, a strange sound came from the deep sea, these sounds sounded like they were made by the sea tribe, but these sounds were sometimes high-pitched and sometimes short, and sometimes there were strange changes in tone.
"Chirp! Tweeted! ”
"Kangkang! Kangkang! ”
"Reckless! Mangal! ”
……
These strange sounds caused chaos among the Northern Sea Clans, and their instincts told them that they seemed to be a sign of death.
And intuition is often accurate.
Suddenly, the Blue King led his people out of the gloomy sea!
Armed with spears and halberds, they killed the unarmed Sea Clan, and they exchanged information through language to know exactly where the enemy was.
The Northern Sea Clan had no power to fight back in this dark sea, and even if there were many of them, it was difficult to resist the precise attack of the Eastern Sea Clan, and soon the blood stained the entire Eastern Sea Clan, and the leader of the Northern Sea Clan was also killed with a spear by an unknown pioneer of the Eastern Sea Clan in the chaotic battle......
At this point, the largest community in the entire ocean, the northern sea community that had the opportunity to create a civilization, completely disappeared......
And the heir of the favored female Sea Clan a hundred years ago, the grandson of her grandson, the Blue King, finally led his people to successfully take revenge, spilling the blood of the enemy all over his own seas.
Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the large community in the northern sea is only one step away from creating a civilization......"
"The sea tribes of the eastern seas originally grew up in a wild land, but because of the dim environment, they were blessed by misfortune and created a language ......"
"The complexity of language far exceeds that of gestures, and the exercise of the brain is also more comprehensive, and the Eastern Sea Tribe, who master the language, is getting smarter and smarter, which is why they invented weapons earlier than the Northern Sea Tribe......"
"And because of these differences, the Eastern Sea Clan was able to defeat the Northern Sea Clan with less, and ......"
"Was it fate, or was it just chance?"
