When exactly did life begin to have a clear concept of numbers?

It's hard to answer this question clearly, but perhaps it's because life grows up and gradually comes into its own. According to the object and the environment, there is a vague concept in the memory, and with this vague concept of numbers, it continues to deepen, so that there is a complete sense of numbers. However, if we want to say that when life, especially intelligent life, has a clear and intuitive concept of numbers, no one can answer this question.

Again, the same applies to the elves, who have had complete wisdom since they had awakened on the shores of the great lake of Quiveen. But at that time they were as simple as a blank sheet of paper, and there was no advanced knowledge in their minds. They are like babies with adult bodies, curious and unfamiliar with everything.

Then, according to their own talents, they acquired simple knowledge from all things. In this way, the baby-like innocence gradually evolves into maturity. And after the tempering of time and the continuous acquisition of knowledge of the natural world from all things, a comprehensive and complete concept has been formed in an instant. Such as the concept of numbers, the concept of time, and so on.

Later, the elves created their own language, and at first their vocabulary was very simple, but they continued to acquire knowledge from all things. Gradually, the elves' vocabulary began to increase. But if you insist on saying when the elves have a clear concept of numbers, this question is that even Yiningville can't answer. Although he also woke up from the shore of the great lake of Queviln, for a long time afterward, he did not take care of things, but jumped into the oak tree to understand the rules of the world, so he did not know when the elves began to have a clear numerical concept of one, two, three, and four, and he could not explain.

But none of this matters, because the above content is based on the following content and is not very relevant.

The woodland elves are all immersed in the sheer numbers that Inningville said, millions of people! The elves could not imagine this picture, because their thoughts and memories were still stuck in the First Age stage. The first era, full of glory and history, was regarded by the elves as the strongest moment of the elves. Because the elves at that time gathered the power of the three races, and the humans and dwarves were just the servant army of the high elves. Together, although the population of these two races is larger than that of the three elves, the humans and dwarves at that time still had to look at the faces of the elves.

Although, Yiningville united the forces of the three clans and finally assembled a huge army of seventy or eighty thousand people. However, the forces of the Dark Lord Morgoth are still superior to them, especially in terms of numbers, they are several times larger, and at their peak they are more than ten times larger! In other words, whether it is elves, humans or dwarves, their most massive concept of numbers is more than a million. Although there are more than one million people, the water is very large, but when more than a million people appear on the plain, the impact caused is very huge, and it is also very shocking!

But now, in the midst of the Woodland Kingdom, above the majestic King's Palace, which is full of the majesty of the king. The elves had heard with their own ears the problem that their ancestor Inningville had expressed to them, that is, the population of their elves was now under his rule and had long surpassed the number of the three tribes of Middle-earth combined. Even counting the newborn orcs, it's the same.

The calm king's hall began to boil like boiling water in an instant. All the elves gathered to watch, with excitement and disbelief, began an eager discussion. The expression of everyone, whether male or female, is the same. The most intuitive embodiment of the convergence of various voices is the current King's Palace, which is as noisy as a vegetable market. During this period, it was accompanied by the cry of the elf toddler.

It wasn't until Yiningville patted lightly that the pestle in front of him was accompanied by a nebula's brilliance, and the noise and chaos finally subsided. Even the elven toddlers, who were awakened by the noise, were so enchanted by the beautiful nebula that they stopped crying. Then, with simple and curious beautiful eyes, he gazed at this beautiful light, and then was soothed by this peaceful and beautiful light, and fell into a deep sleep again.

And little Legolas, continuing his question, glared at his big eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there really such a beautiful new continent in Alda?" Where, are there really millions of people? ”

"Naturally, there is." Ininville held up a finger and corrected, "However, I want to correct you a little, that beautiful new continent, where many incredible lives live, is not in Arda, but in another world that is wider than Yiya. There lived millions of people, as well as tiny elves that were not much bigger than birds, which we called 'forest elves', and griffons with one-horned horses on their foreheads, eagle heads, and wings on their backs. Although, there is no such beast as a lion in Arda. However, in that vast new world, there are many beasts and magical creatures that you have never seen or heard of. He continued to describe the vastness of the unified universe to these people who listened in disbelief and disbelief.

"We elves occupy a beautiful and resource-rich continent that is not inferior to Middle-earth." Inenville said, placing his left hand on the Elven Diamond, his eyes began to flicker with a misty white light, and in an instant the entire King's Hall was shrouded in nebula light, and in this light, a huge scene appeared. It is a vivid picture of the unified universe, from the main material world.

So all the elves looked at this huge vivid scene as if they were watching an epic movie. It gives people a sense of immersive realism, the vast and boundless sea, the countless islands distributed in the sea, more than a dozen huge areas are connected to each other, not connected to each other, very close to each other, and very far away from each other. The scene then shifts to a piece of land that is smaller than the other continents. It's just that it's like a slightly larger island than those continents.

But there is something in this land that is not found on other continents. For example, the one that cannot be measured with the naked eye, and the number cannot be precise in its height is huge, like the majestic and strange tree of the Twin Sacred Trees. He towered into the clouds, and the clouds floated in half of his body, golden clouds everywhere. And under the clouds, the land shrouded in giant trees is an endless green space.

Endless mountains, lush native forests, and rivers that meander across the continent. Star-glittering lakes, babbling streams, and animals frolicking freely between the wilderness and the meadows. Between the mountains and forests, the figure of the occasional short-lived beast, the dragon that suddenly swooped down between a certain mountain peak. In the same way, the beautiful unicorn that enjoys a peaceful life in the valley, and the beautiful and majestic white city built inside, built on the shore, one after another.

The eyes of the woodland elves entered the city, and they saw that the city was full of tall and beautiful cities, pavilions, temples, garden squares, fountains, and urban forests. They watched one elven man and woman in fine costumes walk around the city. I also saw a group of carefree elf children, playing and playing together, and I also saw the young figures flying back and forth in the garden of every citizen, they had dragonfly-like wings, and their immature bodies were not much bigger than birds, flying in the garden, taking care of flowers and trees.

The beautiful and vivid scenes shook the hearts of the woodland elves, and also made their language vocabulary seem so pale at the moment. They felt that even all the beautiful words in the language of the Hua Ran tribe could not fully describe the scene they saw at this moment. Such a land of legend, abundance, beauty and tranquility that they had never seen in their lives.

And the few Isver elves who migrated from Valinor to Middle-earth were no different. They had lived in Valinor, but even Valinor could not compare to what they had seen at this moment. Just because this beauty and abundance are completely beyond the world!
