Chapter 992: Prehistoric Civilization
Like Yang Yi, Lalang did not dictate, but directly displayed the information in his consciousness in front of Yang Yi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Obviously, this method of communication is more efficient.
It's just that the information shown by Lalang is really amazing, not to mention the Dragon God Empress, even Yang Yi was dumbfounded, it was unbelievable.
That is, the Silicon Beast is not the original inhabitant of the Northern Alpha System, but a product of creation.
Like other star systems, the North Alpha Galaxy has evolved over a long period of time to become what it is today, splitting into two star systems. Prior to this, the Southern Alpha and Northern Alpha systems were one star system, and they were extremely large. During this period, life has appeared in the Alpha Galaxy, and it is a highly intelligent life, no less advanced than the intelligent civilization that appeared later. More importantly, it was only an intelligent civilization, that is, there was only one intelligent life that existed at that time. After billions of years of evolution, the civilization has developed its technology to the point of unbelievable and has evolved itself.
In the end, this intelligent civilization even completely got rid of its dependence on matter, and became a complete consciousness body, that is, only individual consciousness exists, and it is a powerful, almost omnipotent individual consciousness, and its way of existence has undergone earth-shaking changes.
To put it simply, after becoming a conscious body, any individual of this civilization can go to any place in the Alpha Galaxy at will, and exist in various forms, almost everywhere, becoming a god-like existence in the eyes of other beings.
It's just that it's not a good thing.
When he evolved to his final form, although his ability and strength reached the peak, he also encountered huge, even insurmountable obstacles. Disagreements arose within a civilization over the question of continued evolution, and this led to the first and final civil war in the history of that civilization.
This civil war is the root cause of the Big Bang in the Alpha System, which split into two star systems.
A catastrophe led to the rapid decline of the civilization and its eventual total extinction. It's just that, after the catastrophe, the civilization did not immediately go extinct. While the vast majority of individuals are killed during the disaster, a few are lucky enough to survive. Because they are god-like beings themselves, these individuals who survived by luck still possess powerful abilities that no other creature can match, and they are still god-like beings. It's just that civilization has been destroyed, and the few survivors are scattered in two star systems, so there is no way to rebuild civilization. What's worse is that the civilization has long since transformed into an ideology and needs to be technologically enabled to reproduce. As the foundations that underpin civilization collapse, these surviving individuals simply do not have the ability to reproduce. In other words, this civilization, which was once as powerful as a god, will inevitably perish step by step as the only remaining individuals gradually pass away.
Of course, the same is the result.
It's just that it's an extremely slow process that lasts hundreds of millions of years.
Even if they don't want to admit it, those who survive are well aware that their demise is inevitable after the loss of the civilization on which they are the basis for their survival has fallen. Even if some individuals find a way to survive, such as degradation, that is, to become a life dependent on material things again. Unfortunately, the surviving individuals are scattered across two star systems, and even if they degenerate, it is difficult to change the fate of extinction.
More importantly, from the perspective of civilization, even if it degenerates into a low-level life form, it is only a new civilization that is born. To put it simply, due to the limitations of this new civilization in terms of its form of existence and other aspects, it is impossible to fully grasp the advanced technology of the extinct civilization, and it cannot be said to inherit the legacy of the previous civilization. Obviously, this method will not prevent the complete demise of that powerful civilization.
Of course, some of these individuals took action, i.e., degenerated into material forms of life.
However, the degradation of these individuals, or the life forms created by using their own abilities, are not exactly the same, and have obvious differences.
What appears in the North Alpha Galaxy is actually Silicon Man and Silicon Beast, while what appears in the South Alpha System is carbon-based creatures similar to humans. It's just that the difference is not only that. Most of the individuals who survived that disaster were in the North Alpha system, and only a few were in the South Alpha system. What's more, the birthplace of that civilization, the native star system, is in the North Alpha system. In other words, those civilizations born in the North Alpha system have a first-mover advantage, not only inheriting more advanced technology, but also obtaining more superior basic conditions. It is precisely because of this that in the following development, the silicon-based creatures in the North Alpha Galaxy became more powerful, far surpassing the carbon-based creatures in the South Alpha System, and took the lead in evolving advanced intelligence.
Of course, it's not all.
At the same time as the silicon-based creatures were created, the survivors of that civilization learned the lessons of the civilization's demise, and to be precise, it was after the lessons learned that the silicon-based creatures were created. That is, ideologies detached from material things are extremely fragile, and they have lost the ability to reproduce and cope with sudden changes. Although ideology has more developed wisdom, no matter how developed wisdom is meaningless when survival and reproduction are difficult to guarantee. Only with strong vitality and adaptability can we adapt to the changing environment and achieve more stable and long-term development. There is no doubt that silicon-based organisms are extremely viable, and their ability to adapt to the environment is also higher than that of carbon-based organisms. However, silicon-based organisms are not perfect carriers of intelligence, and in some aspects, especially in terms of intelligence, they are significantly inferior to carbon-based organisms. At the time, the survivors of that powerful civilization did not see this as a problem, because in the eyes of those powerful beings, the use of advanced technology at their disposal could completely offset the shortcomings of silicon-based creatures' intelligence.
It is precisely because of this that the first to be born in the Northern Alpha system was the Silicon Beast, not the Silicon Man with a higher level of intelligence.
By this time, the powerful individuals who created the Silicon Beast had also discovered the problem, that is, the Silicon Beast with too low IQ simply could not use the advanced technology they had mastered!
Even if the Silicon Beast has a strong vitality and can survive in almost any environment, but without the wisdom to control the advanced technology, the Silicon Beast will always be a Silicon Beast, and it will not be able to evolve into an advanced civilization at all, let alone make use of those advanced technologies.
It's just that it was not only the silicon beast that was created at that time, but also the silicon man, but the proportion was very small.
Strictly speaking, silicon people are not ideal either. Quite simply, the vitality and adaptability of the silicon people are inferior to those of the silicon beasts, and the intelligence level is not much higher, at least at that time, it was difficult to take advantage of those advanced technologies. The only advantage of the Silicon Man is that he relies more on his mind, so as long as he has enough time, the Silicon Man can evolve enough wisdom and may develop into a powerful civilization.
In other words, if you start from the perspective of inheriting the heritage of civilization, the silicon people are a better choice.
Unfortunately, there is a prerequisite.
That is, it takes enough time.
Time is obviously a big issue for those powerful beings who survive. Don't forget, by the time they created the Silicon Beast and the Silicon Man, their civilization had been extinct for hundreds of millions of years, and the two star systems that had formed after the split had stabilized. That is, they have also reached the end of their life and are about to face their final moments. For these powerful beings, there simply isn't enough time for the Silicon Humans to evolve into higher intelligence. If they all die, even if the Silicons develop into a powerful intelligent civilization, they will not be able to use their legacy. What's more, when creating the Silicon Man and the Silicon Beast, they used up almost all of their abilities, so they couldn't help the Silicon Man evolve. All they can do is take a part of it and exert some of the necessary influence to change the evolutionary process.
Obviously, herein lies the problem.
The point is that the resources that can be used to influence the evolution of silicon-based life are extremely limited, and not only can only a few populations accelerate their evolution, but they also have to make choices about the direction of evolution.
The real question is the direction of evolution.
At that time, the powerful beings who created the Silicon Beast did not admit that the Silicon Beast was inferior to the Silicon Man, that is, the difference in intelligence was not the decisive factor. The point is, their civilization eventually perished and caused the Alpha Galaxy to split because intelligence developed faster than it did. They also believe that the defect in the intelligence of the silicon beast is not a defect at all, but an advantage, which can more effectively prolong the existence of the population, and enough time for itself to evolve enough to adapt to and use advanced technology. At that time, mastering advanced technology will not lead to another disaster.
It is precisely in this way that these powerful beings spend their last resources on the Silicon Beast, and instead of helping the Silicon Beast evolve into a higher intelligence, the Silicon Beast can gain an instinct based on itself through evolution, and rely on this instinct to gain stronger vitality and adaptability.
Of course, only a handful of Silicons have been helped, after all, there are too many Silicons that have been created.
These chosen Silicons were the first rulers of the Northern Alpha System, the Royal Silicons, not just four, but tens of thousands.
The blue-blooded wolf is one of them, but the 10,000-horned dragon is not.
It's just that these chosen silicon beasts only gain innate talents, that is, superpowers, rather than more important intelligence.
Thankfully, the powerful beings have recognized the problem, so they have selected some individuals from among the chosen silicons, made them the rulers of the entire population, and through transformation, they have been given a high level of intelligence, making them the most powerful beings in the North Alpha System.
These individuals are actually the puppets that Yang Yi thought before! (To be continued.) )
