After Tang Shuxing lifted the corpse state again, he was worried that Gaia would attack, so he subconsciously took a step back. But Gaia had already roughly understood what was going on, and did not take any action, but asked puzzledly, "Are you a new human?" How could new humans be able to adapt to the same form as ancient humans? ”

"Adaptation?" Tang Shuxing took a step forward and walked back to his previous position, "Isn't it a biological weapon battle form?" How is it called adaptive morphology? ”

"No, the combat form is only support." Gaia explained, "Actually, you're just looking like this to get used to the environment, and you don't know about it? ”

Tang Shuxing shook his head: "I don't know, I unintentionally became like this, I thought it was related to the corpse craftsman earlier, and then I learned about the ancient human beings, we call it corpse transformation, and the earliest human beings are called demonization, maybe it is not said literally from the past, but the meaning is the same." ”

"I see, corpse and demon." Gaia nodded as if she had recalled, "According to modern terms, it can indeed be defined and described in this way, but no matter how you describe it, this form is created to adapt to the environment. ”

Tang Shuxing shook his head, and Gaia explained in detail: "The climate determines the environment, and the cause of climate change on the earth comes from the sun, the earth's atmosphere, the movement of the earth's crust, volcanism, and external factors, which are what you call meteorite impacts, these factors have changed through countless eras, and have caused several mass extinctions. 'Destroying the heavens and destroying the earth's ultimate weapon', 'Tianmu', found that it is still unable to fight against nature......"

The ancient humans who could not fight against nature began to go extinct, and the Celestial Eye was also destroyed, and the remaining people were divided into four expeditionary forces, and then four countries were born in the name of the four holy relics to continue to fight against nature, and in order to fight and survive, they began to study the two biological forms of demonization and corpse. In the end, it was a success.

"The Demonizer is above the Corpse and belongs to the ruling class, similar to the emperor or king of your feudal era, and the Corpse is the slave under his command. It can be subdivided into several types, among which there are also corpses who can be close to demonizers, also known as mutants, my father is a mutant, and so are you. Gaia looked directly at Tang Shuxing, and a gentle and respectful female voice came out of the monster's mouth, making Tang Shuxing feel uncomfortable.

Tang Shuxing nodded after listening: "I know this, so the mastermind who caused the current disaster has never killed me, he thinks I am precious." ”

"Yes, mutants are precious. Even ancient humans believed that mutants were a kind of intelligent creature that was protected by nature and different from them. You know, whether it's a demonizer or a corpse, you can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments in a tenacious and weird form, in a sense. Maintaining an adaptive form can survive in very harsh environments, whether it is a warm earth or an ice age, but other creatures or lower corpses will face complete extinction. After Gaia finished speaking, she glanced at the bottom of the deep pool, "The new humans are fortunate to have been living in the Ice Age......

"Wait! Are we living in an ice age? Tang Shuxing wondered, "I remember that the whole world is discussing the issue of warming, how can it be?" ”

"I'm sure people who don't study the Earth's climate will be surprised to hear this. There have been five such ice ages in the history of the earth, two in the Precambrian, two in the Paleozoic, and the last one in the Quaternary, which is the era we are in now, and ancient humans happened to have hit the last epoch of the Paleozoic era. During the Permian period, they encountered great climate changes at the intersection of the times, because they had not yet developed demonization and corpse transformation, so they almost became completely extinct. Gaia said, tilting her head to one side. But there's one thing I want you to know, according to my father's calculations, if the new humans don't stop what they're doing now and work together to deal with the climate change they are about to face, they will face a huge reduction in the number of creatures, if not extinct, in a few years. ”

"I finally understand why Shang Du is playing up apocalypticism." Tang Shuxing remembered the words of the person in the bracelet, combined with Gaia's words, and Shangdu's so-called doomsday theory, all clarified a truth - the earth's climate will change drastically, which will lead to the so-called doomsday.

"In the Late Permian, the Gondwana continent (meaning "original Gondwana continent") was a prehistoric continent that existed from the Middle Proterozoic to the Neoproterozoic. The original Gondwana continent contains most of the Gondwana continent, except for South America and the Congo Craton) and other continental blocks developed into a pan-continent extending from the Antarctic to the North Pole. As a result, the Paleozoic Era ended with terrible cold, about 250 million years ago during the Permian period. Gaia shook her head and sighed, "My father said that in your human research, the Permian cataclysm is called the 'mother of all natural disasters', and there have been five mass extinctions on Earth, which is what you call the Five Cataclysms. ”

Gaia's words were written down one by one, although there were many words that he had not been exposed to before, but what he was most worried about was whether the real end would come, so he immediately asked: "Then will this era face the end of the world?" ”

Gaia nodded: "I'm sorry to tell you that it will definitely come, but if the new humans start to work together to protect, it will greatly delay the time of the next catastrophe, but if it encounters external factors that are irresistible to manpower, it will be a different matter." Didn't the new humanity also draw up an agreement called the Kyoto Protocol? Therefore, I believe that the scientists of the new human race have long understood that it is urgent to save their own living environment. ”

"But it didn't work." Tang Shuxing simply sat down cross-legged, "The climate issue has been transformed into a political issue. ”

In 2001, 36 industrialized countries were required by the Kyoto Protocol to reduce their emissions four years earlier than others, but this was highly controversial. First of all, we must reduce exhaust emissions, and we will face the problem of industrial reduction, which will cause a certain economic contraction, resulting in a large number of workers losing their jobs, and many countries believe that if they implement their agreements, their own economies will certainly face a major blow.

Thus, it was not until the final adoption of Russia in November 2004 that the last obstacle was removed. The agreement on greenhouse gas emission reduction and emissions trading came into effect in February 2005 and is applicable from 2008 to 2012. However, among the industrialized countries, the United States and Australia, the world's largest emitters of climate-damaging pollution, have not signed the agreement, and some businessmen in the United States who do not need the coal and oil industries to spend a lot of money on emissions reductions accuse the scientists of being "the liar of the century funded by certain forces".

Then, at the end of 2012, Russia announced that it would withdraw from the second phase of the JD Protocol in 2013, two years before Canada announced its outright withdrawal.

Countries are beginning to blame each other, with developing countries arguing that developed countries should take the lead, while developed countries believe that they should take leadership on climate change, but are unwilling to be held back by a flawed treaty that requires obligations.

"Yes, this is the same reason as when the ancient human race split into four great powers, accusing each other of destroying the holy relics in their hands, and at the same time, in order to maintain their own living environment, they plundered and destroyed, which led to the outbreak of war, and war represents multiple plunder, which will cause great damage to the environment." Gaia's eyes were full of despair, "If someone regathers the four holy relics and recasts the Heavenly Eye, which is what you call the Eye of Nyorai, then the end will come early, and then the human race will survive without any other way than to evolve into a survival form, but that will not last long." ”

"Why?" Tang Shuxing stood up and asked, "Isn't this kind of appearance able to survive in a harsh environment?" ”

"The food chain is broken." Gaia shook her head, "It's an obvious question, such as the Ice Age destroyed most of the species living on land, and the later Permian Cataclysm destroyed more than 75% of the species that inhabit the oceans. You must know that both ancient humans and new humans have one thing in common at the beginning of evolution, and it is because of this that ancient humans thought of using demonization and corpse transformation to adapt to the harsh environment. ”

Tang Shuxing immediately asked, "What do you have in common?" ”

"The ancestors of ancient humans and the ancestors of later new humans were not hunting creatures because they did not have the fangs and claws needed to hunt their prey." "The ancestors of the new humans should be traced back to the African plateau 10 million years ago, when the plateau became cold and caused them to evolve and became known as the African australopithecus, at that time the people who could not be called human had no hunting ability and had to feed on the carrion left behind by a large number of megafauna, and they used their more flexible bodies and relatively intelligent minds to make up for their inferiority, in other words, the earliest human ancestors were scavengers." ”

Tang Shuxing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "This is not evolution, it's degradation, right?" ”

"Everything that comes into being in order to adapt to the environment is called evolution." Gaia looked at Tang Shu and said, "In the era of civilization, people can make weapons with their hands, which is evolution, but in the post-civilization era, that is, when there are no extra materials and other things to make weapons, people themselves can evolve into combat weapons and at the same time adapt to the environment, which is also evolution. ”

Gaia's words made Tang Shuxing very conflicted, and he didn't know what to do right now. According to Gaia, if the Heavenly Eye, that is, the Eye of Nyorai, no longer appears, the end will be delayed, but sooner or later it will still come, so if he finds basalt now, do he need to return to Shangdu?

Even if Ji Ye is allowed to break into his interior according to the plan, will he be competent? Is he so ruthless?

Tang Shuxing fell into contradictions.
