Chapter 018: A Prophecy
Wang Rong did not accept Su Qing's analysis, in the years he and Cheng Quan got along, he could feel the care and love of his elders, but it was not very similar to the relationship between father and son.
"Sooner or later, this matter will come to light." Wang Rong let out a long sigh: "At this time, how can I survive is the problem. As the environment deteriorated, the beasts that began to mutate grew up quickly. This land has long been not ruled by humans. Last year's beast tide almost solved the Eastern Region, if there is another beast tide this year, if the mutant beast is even more powerful...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”
Su Qing thought so: "When you find out your background, let's go back to the island base together." It's like a paradise, at least you can live a stable life. ”
Wang Rong nodded and did not make a sound. In fact, there are eggs under the nest. If humanity really fails on this land, how long will those who live on the islands hold out? So far, most of the people who have begun to mutate are beasts, but what about birds? The three districts also don't know how many birds are starting to mutate. What's the point of living on an island when the bird mutation is very strong? Do you keep fighting with anti-aircraft guns every day?
…………
On the comfortable and wide bed, Qiao Lianyu was holding a notebook and was reading it intently.
This notebook is from Cheng Quan, and it was an unfinished topic for Cheng Quan back then. But now it seems that the content inside makes Qiao Lianyu a little creepy. Perhaps, the topic that Cheng Quan wanted to study back then will really happen in this world.
The note reads: "In the history of human evolution, there have been many species with high intelligence, such as Homo erectus, craftsmen, Neanderthals, etc., but they were all exterminated by Homo sapiens, that is, modern man. The goal of evolution is not to be advanced, much less to IQ. The goal of evolution is to survive and reproduce effectively in the environment in which we live. ”
"Bacteria are much lower than humans, and their IQ is not at all, but bacteria can adapt to the environment that humans can adapt to, and some bacteria can adapt to the environment that humans can't adapt to. From a devastating point of view, humanity has no chance of exterminating all bacteria and germs. But some terrible germs can kill people on a large scale or even in the whole area. ”
"To put it mildly, the so-called high intelligence of human beings is just the result of having to make more and more complicated mistakes on the road of evolution, not finding a stable position, and other creatures that have been on the right path for a long time have long been in peace. Evolution is a cruel thing, and no species wants to evolve. Every evolution comes from mutations, and only a very small number of species get favorable mutations, but what about the others? All extinct. ”
"Evolution is really about genetic mutation, survival of the fittest. Assuming that the reason why people are human is the key is the gene of "wisdom". Let's look at large animals first, they are generally carnivorous, but the number of races is small, there is no threat, and the probability of mutation is low. Looking at small animals with a large base, such as insects, the probability of obtaining "wisdom" genes is high, but unfortunately, the life span is too short, generally not more than one year, and the "wisdom gene" cannot be opened, that is, it has little effect and will be eliminated. ”
"Humans, on the other hand, are moderately in size, have a large number of monkeys and apes, and at the same time have a high pressure to survive and have a long lifespan. With the quantitative basis of "wisdom" gene mutations, the high survival pressure helps to open the "wisdom" gene, and the long life span can develop and pass on "wisdom" to the next generation, which is the reason why people are lucky. Multiply such a key probability, and the final probability is very low and low, and the person is the most suitable, so it wins. ”
And now, the whole world has changed dramatically. The harsh environment has once again brought the problem of survival of the fittest.
Humans still have weapons and intelligence, but the number of humans has declined significantly. Moreover, the earth, which is already in a state of devastation, simply cannot afford to withstand the devastation of weapons of mass destruction. Once that happens, it's not the earth that will go extinct, it's the humans themselves.
This is also the fact that the three regions have abandoned the research of weapons of mass destruction and invested in the exploration of the potential of the human body itself.
Similarly, species with strong fecundity and aggression are becoming more and more powerful. Changes in the environment will force them to evolve, and over time, those aggressive creatures will continue to develop their intelligence, and even revolutionary changes will be no less than a blow to the survival of human beings.
The note also reads: "Homo erectus differentiated into early Homo sapiens, dwarfs, and other bizarre human races. Early Homo sapiens had no advantage over other races, developed independently, and eventually produced isolation according to normal conditions, and differentiation did not affect after isolation, but isolation did not occur. About 150,000 years ago, early Homo sapiens underwent a change, and early Homo sapiens began to evolve into late Homo sapiens. ”
"Tens of thousands of years ago, a volcano erupted in Indonesia, the earth's environment changed drastically, and there was already a huge competition between early Homo sapiens, late Homo sapiens, descendants of Homo erectus, dwarves, etc., began to compete fiercely, and the environment determined that only one race could exist, and late Homo sapiens survived this competition and became the final winner."
"A lot of people don't understand evolution right now. There are several misunderstandings: one is that evolution is actually a death theory, and 1% of species develop on the basis of 99% extinction. The second is that there are still many people who think that evolution must be slow, in fact, it is slow overall, but it can be fast for one or two species, such as dogs. The third is that evolution is not differentiation, but survival of the fittest, such as the evolution of giraffes. ”
Qiao Lianyu also had to agree that the theory of evolution is a huge system. There are many small theories: convergent evolution, isolation theory, deleterious evolution, random variation, and so on, not to mention a much larger system of genetic theories.
Then the current situation is a time of cutthroat competition.
All kinds of powerful mutant beasts are breeding, and they are becoming more and more dangerous in the confrontation with nature and humans. In the same way, in order for human beings to survive and continue to reproduce on Earth, they must reclaim their position as rulers of Earth.
The three regions have renounced weapons of mass destruction, but they do not have the resources to build nuclear weapons of the same terrible yield as they did before nuclear war. As for biological weapons and so on...... Are you planning to kill yourself?
The more Qiao Lianyu looked at it, the more frightened he felt, and at the head of his bed, there was still a video of last year's beast tide route and analysis.
Here, for the time being, there is no ironclad evidence of the obvious progress of the mutant beast, but Qiao Lianyu has an indescribable confidence in Cheng Quan, that is, as long as it is predicted by this guy, it will all be true in the end.
