On the charred black earth, Xu Liang and the three of them were preparing to cross the harsh terrain, cross the deep valleys and hills, and prepare to go to the Civilization Arena. In the deepest part of the deep valley on the earth, there are also constantly combat soldiers and ants transported up through the "ant chrysalis", trying to hinder the progress of Xu Liang and the others.

At the same time, somewhere thousands of kilometers away, in the same charred black land, in the same deep and bottomless valley, there were many creatures.

It is a large group of velociraptors.

It is a creature that has been extinct for tens of millions of years, leaving only fossils and mutilated bones on the ground. Thanks to a well-developed film and animation industry, the species was quite familiar to people before the tsunami.

The number of them that climbed up from the ground is so great that I don't know how many tens of thousands.

They climb up in an orderly manner. After coming up, they did not scatter in a hurry, but divided into 4 queues in an orderly manner, going to the east, west, north and south directions.

They are digging up the stones in a regular geometric shape.

Then the stones are arranged according to a certain degree, on a large flat ground, the higher the higher.

They're building a building of unknown purpose.

The buildings are huge, and they are laying the foundations.

The size of these velociraptors is slightly different from what is shown in movies, animations, and fossils. Judging from movie animations or fossil displays, the forelimbs of the velociraptor have degenerated.

But now the velociraptor has developed and flexible upper limbs. It's like a human who can use a tool.

They have muscular upper limbs and long three fingers that allow them to grasp stones with great strength.

Another example is construction workers.

There are four teams in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and each team is divided into construction, transportation, management, and measurement...... It's like an orderly construction team.

And it's the kind of construction squad that can only be achieved by professional training.

It took a whole day for them to sketch out the scale of the building.

If you look at it from above, the scope of this building is very large, far exceeding the footprint of ten Wanda Plazas. Moreover, the floor area is constantly increasing.

Deep underground, more and more velociraptors are popping up. After a short rest, they joined the ranks of the "construction workers" in an orderly manner.

And with the addition of more and more "construction workers", the area of this building is still expanding.

I don't know how big the final area will be.

I don't know how tall it will be.

These velociraptors were built extremely efficiently, as if they were born to be great builders, rather than gregarious hunters who excelled at hunting in jungles and grasslands.

They have been transformed.

The velociraptors, who were responsible for carrying rocks, had strong lower limb muscles and good endurance, and could go on for long periods of time without resting; The velociraptors, who are responsible for measuring the terrain and placing building materials, have excellent eyesight and can distinguish the smallest errors; Those velociraptors who are in charge of management have the loudest voices and seem to be the most prestigious-

These managers are shouting, and all the other "workers" are listening to these loud velociraptors.

Finally, it's time for a shift break.

The first velociraptors to come to work also had a chance to retire from the construction site.

Two of the velociraptors, heads touching each other, apparently recognizing each other, came to a place where strange food and water had been piled up—food and water had been brought up from the ground and carried on the backs of another large group of velociraptors.

"I can finally take a break."

"It's definitely tiring to move rocks for so long."

"It's really tiring to move rocks, but I still think it's the part of the road that comes up from the depths of the earth that is the most tiring."

"Yes, a vertical distance of more than 200 kilometers, and there is no means of transportation, of course I am tired."

"Of course. Those of us who evolved to build buildings are certainly not like the ants who are responsible for reconnaissance operations...... We are treated too poorly. Even when they come to the surface, they have to climb up on their own, but they have a teleportation with a pupa foot. ”

"Agreed. However, in fact, I am already very happy to be able to come up and breathe. ”

"When was the last time you came out to breathe?"

"650,000 years, or 6.5 million years?"

"Who remembers that much, it's not 65 million years anyway."

"Hehe, that's what I said."

"yes. We were lucky, and we caught up with the once in 10,000 years when we could come out to breathe. ”

"Although only as a construction worker."

"It's just a construction worker, but as long as you can get out, not in the underground burrows built by the ants, it's fine."

"Ants...... Whether it's ants or termites or whatever, they treat them so well, have you heard? They were the first race to be sent out, known as Scouts, to spy on the development of this wave of creatures. ”

"Don't you want the first wave yet? Still want to breathe? “

"Makes sense."

"Every time we harvest one stubble, although the morphology of those races on the ground looks very different, it is nothing more than those creatures: insects? Crawl? Suckle? What's the difference? I never thought that the plan of the main civilization, the plan to raise other races and develop technology, would succeed. ”

"I just want to come out and breathe, but the main civilization doesn't think so, they always feel that the new species represents a new possibility, and they think that the new species will definitely surprise them."

"So many years have passed, so many stubble has been harvested, and there has been no harvest."

"Every harvest is just a chance for us to come out to build a building and come out to breathe."

The two velociraptors discussed what was going on and what they knew.

They don't report any concern or hope for the routine "building" work after each tsunami, they are just creatures that have evolved to do the work of building.

The biggest advantage of this for them is that they can go to the surface to breathe.

At the same time, they also sympathize with the life on the surface of this stubble, because it also means that another free race has become a slave to the master civilization of the seabed.

They were bored with this routine action, and yet, at this point—

"This time is completely different from the previous ones."

It was a third velociraptor who spoke out, and it looked like it had some unusual message.

It said: "The race discovered this time is the race of the 'human' family under the class Mammalian class!" ”

"Human?"

"People?"

The two velociraptors just now shook their heads, their huge heads shaking, and they looked funny.

The first said, "I haven't heard of it." People, what do they look like? ”

The second said, "Has the monkey changed?" Did the crocodile become it? Do insects become insectic? Or is it fern-like? ”

"Neither." The newly added velociraptor who seemed to be well-informed said, "You know what? This species, which named itself the 'human' family, is different from all the species that have been harvested before! ”

"And us, and rabbits, and ants, and us, and giant sharks, and trilobites...... Unlike all previous races...... "the well-informed velociraptor said, "Humans are an 'unplanned' species. ”

When it said "unplanned species", the two velociraptors stopped shaking their heads and opened their mouths instead - in expression of surprise and curiosity.

The third, well-informed velociraptor was very satisfied with the expressions of the first two: "I've heard that all the species were planned before. But people are unplanned! And it eliminated the mammoth that was ordained by the main civilization - that's a big guy, and its combat effectiveness is not much worse than ours. ”

"Then I have a question, after the tsunami, this ...... Terran? How much survived? Is there a five-percent? No, no, no, five percent is too high to look at them, is there one percent? ”

"Yes, do you know that only 0.3 percent of our reptiles are alive, and we have more human stocks than we do?"

"Less."

The two velociraptors listened, their tongues sticking out even more, as if they were about to die of hanging.

Few?

"In fact, the survival rate of this species is probably the lowest ever!"

"Before the tsunami, there were about billions of human individuals on the surface, but now, according to preliminary statistics, only a few hundred have survived."

The two velociraptors: "Billions—hundreds?" Could it be that their survival rate is not one percent, but one in a million? ”

"Miscalculated, it's one in ten million!"

"Only a 1 in 10 million survival rate?"

"This is already the equivalent of extinction!"

"It's miserable!"

"That's the most distinctive race you're talking about?"

"If you are a weak race, you have no value at all!"

The two velociraptors have been talking to me for a long time, but the third, well-informed velociraptor completely refutes the two of them with a simple sentence.

"Humans don't survive tsunamis with physical strength."

The well-informed velociraptor paused after saying that. Seeing the reaction of the two velociraptors with longer tongues, he continued with satisfaction: "The strength of the human body is probably the weakest among all the creatures that have stubble. ”

"They survived the tsunami because they relied on what they created!"

"According to the latest news, they can create something called 'metal', which is hard and smooth, with a smooth and shiny surface, which is a hundred times more practical than the stone we use to build buildings! This is something that we can't produce and process through microbial methods anyway! They also used things like 'metal' to create something with a unique shape that they named 'boat', and then hid in it, and lived until now! ”

Two other velociraptors: "What's the use of that?" They only survived 1 in 10 million. ”

"Don't you understand?" Well-informed velociraptors, "This is technology!" ”

"Technology is what the main civilization has been looking for, and after it is developed in legends, it can be used to defeat ten thousand! Something that can be created out of nothing! Something that can make us rush out of the planet! Something that can cripple those bastards on Venus! If we had 'technology', why would we have to go to great lengths to build the big building we have now? ”

Speaking of which, the three velociraptors simultaneously refocused their attention on the building, which had just begun to be built.

In fact, they all have a sense of gratitude for the building. Although being a builder is a coolie, it is precisely this kind of coolie that gives them the opportunity to go up to the surface to breathe.

"Technology? What exactly is technology? ”

Well-informed velociraptors: "Technology, unlike what we do now, did things by changing our bodies...... Technology, you can make tools, use tools to do things! This is also the way for the one-in-ten millionth individual of human beings to survive in the end! ”

First Velociraptor: "I don't think technology is useful. ”

Second Velociraptor: "I don't think technology is useful either. ”

Both velociraptors disagreed at the same time and flexed their muscles: "Is it good to have a flesh-body?" ”

The well-informed third velociraptor was clearly mentally motivated, and said, "You don't understand this, it's like ...... It's like the building we're building right now, do you know what it's for? ”

"Yes!" The first velociraptor said, "Is there any other vassal race that doesn't know?" ”

"If we had created this building, we would have been able to see Venus more clearly!" The second velociraptor said, "The main civilization said that you can only see more clearly if you build taller buildings. Therefore, after each tsunami harvesting event, the biggest project is to build stargazing platforms in multiple places. ”

"It's already a routine, okay, what's there to say?"

"Of course there is!"

The well-informed velociraptor god said mysteriously: "We spent a huge amount of energy and biological power to build the observatory. But the human race only needs such a small thing to play the same role as a huge observatory! ”

When it describes it as "so small", it also draws it with two front paw pens:

It's about the length of its forelimbs, and a cylindrical thing as the width of its fingers.

The well-informed velociraptor said, "I've already inquired. This cylindrical thing is called a telescope by those 'humans'! ”

"Telescopes?" The first (second) Velociraptor Road.

"According to the humans." The well-informed velociraptor saw the length of the tongues spit out by the first two velociraptors and said proudly, "This is a mysterious technology that can observe the stars in the sky!" ”

"I can magnify the stars in the sky 100 times!!"

"Even more!"

"In other words, it is much more effective than when we stand on the stargazing platform and look at Venus!"

Hearing this, the two velociraptors were completely stunned!

What the heck?

How could something so small, as long as their forelimbs, have such a big use?

Can magnify Venus 100 times?

More effective than the observatory they built with so much effort?

Don't...... Is this the power of 'technology'?

"You know what? There's more exciting news. ”

"It is said that this telescope technology of Super Bull X was invented by one of their human beings called Galileo, who is said to be the first person to invent this telescope technology. The key point is that they don't call telescopes technology! ”

"They humans call this thing that can magnify objects 100 times 'art.'"

"Through the human beings that have been captured, we have worked hard to distinguish and finally crack the difference between 'technology' and 'art' in the eyes of humans."

"In their eyes, 'technology' is synonymous with progress and requires work, while 'art' is used to enjoy when they are idle and bored. In other words, the practical role of science and technology is far greater than that of art! ”

"They say that this telescope is a work of art because it represents a memorabilia called the Renaissance 500 years ago, and it has no practical value, but only a collection value, and it is kept in memory of the scientist named Galileo of their family!"

"In fact, in the metal refuge creation made by humans, that is, the thing they named 'ship', all of them are stored in this kind of art, that is, they are all used for collection, and they have no practical use value!"

"For example, some strange patterns (oil paintings)? Unintelligible round film (music)? Pattern strokes written on the sheepskin (literature)? And a recorder for human mating and reproduction (**)? All in all, these are classified as 'works of art', i.e. things that have only collectible value and no actual use! ”

"You use your flesh and brain to think about it, such a powerful technology as a telescope is only reduced to a work of art by them humans!"

"I've heard that in their human eyes, 'technology' has a greater meaning! Telescopes that can magnify 100 times are nothing, they also invented super telescopes that can magnify 1 million times! This telescope was placed higher by them! ”

"Thousands of times higher than our observatory!"

"Real space!"

"They really know how far those bastards on Venus have got!"

"This is the great telescope!"

"That's the power of technology!"

The well-informed velociraptor has already said HIGH, and the first and second velociraptors have long been in complete shock.

The tongue is sticking out, and I'm almost out of breath!

"I heard." The well-informed Velociraptor continued, "This art ship of theirs is one of many ships before the tsunami, and there are many more, more powerful "ships" loaded with other technological products, and they are still on the lookout! ”

"Now you know why, right?"

"What, why?"

"Of course, why those ants are treated better than us!"

"Those ants can be transported out of the surface by state-of-the-art pupae, quickly searching for other human creations, and we can only slowly emerge from the ground with two hind limbs. That's the pay gap. ”

"So, did the ants make any new discoveries?"

"Yes!" The well-informed velociraptor is clearly very well-informed.

It continued: "Of course I don't have any specific information. ”

Velociraptor I: ......

Velociraptor II: ......

"The latest news is obviously in the hands of the main civilization, but there is no doubt that it is obviously related to 'technology'. This is not something that a small vassal race like us can know. ”

……

About this peculiar "human" race, and their great telescopes, the discussion about technological gadgets and artistic pastimes has come to an end for the time being. However, a long-standing question that has been in the minds of every vassal race has gradually emerged......

The second velociraptor finally couldn't help but ask the question, and it said to the well-informed velociraptor "You're so well-informed, you...... Have you ever met the Lord Civilization? ”

The second velociraptor stared at it expectantly.

The first velociraptor also said: "yes, have you seen it?" What kind of race is this main civilization? They...... What does it look like exactly? ”

The well-informed velociraptor had its mouth closed tightly – a gesture that would only be used to express the most serious meanings.

It stretched out its two front paws, twisted the tongues of the other two velociraptors, and pulled them out! The two velociraptors felt a sharp pain and jumped to their feet and ran backwards! Then, both velociraptors closed their mouths.

"You're crazy!" Well-informed velociraptor road.

"You dare to ask this question?"

"You forgot?"

"Whoever has seen the true body of the Lord is dead."

"Whoever makes any false remark about the true nature of the Lord's civilization is dead."

The two velociraptors were dragged by their tongues, and they were in severe pain and could not speak for a long time. At this time, a velociraptor with a particularly loud voice appeared in charge of management, announced the end of the break time, and continued to move bricks.

The two velociraptors returned to the construction site to continue their work, continuing to build a observatory for observing Venus.

Their underdeveloped minds were still thinking about the words of the well-informed velociraptor just now - telescopes?

What is it like?

Technology, what is it?
