72. Myth and reality

(Thank you for the tipping of the book of the seeker.) )

"And then what?" It wasn't Yuan Yi who asked the question, but the ship girls who came with Yuan Yi, and it seemed that they were also interested in the story Bam said.

"Because this tower leads from the ground to heaven, it is understood by the gods as a kind of human arrogance, a blasphemy against divine power. In order to prevent the construction of the Tower of Babel, the god punished those who dared to challenge the divine power, because he promised that the human beings would not destroy the world with floods, this time the god used 333 thunderbolts to destroy the entire Tower of Babel, and then used a storm to blow away all the stones and dust, and finally, he severely punished the humans who proposed and built the Tower of Babel, and in order to prevent similar things from happening in the future, he divided the human beings in different regions into many different languages, Humans can no longer work together to do one thing, and at this point, there is no longer the existence of the Tower of Babel. ”

"That god is so bad, it's really unreasonable." Yukikaze said.

In this era, although faith has not been broken, human beings have passed the age of ignorance, and they do not have so much reverence for the gods.

Bam smiled, "Well, after all, this is just a myth and legend, but this Tower of Babel did exist in history. ”

"The ...... that did exist," Yuan Yi chewed on the language disease in Bam's words that was not a language disease.

"Yes, the real Tower of Babel was destroyed by the war between Babylon and Persia, and the savage game between men destroyed it, not by the hand of God."

Yuan Yi knew that the god here was the god in Bam's mouth earlier, one of the gods believed in by the old humans.

But if he said that, the Tower of Babel would have been destroyed a long time ago, so why did he say that this was the Tower of Babel, isn't it a contradiction between the two?

However, when Yuan Yi saw the smile on Bam's face, he knew that this old boy must have something to say.

Sure enough, after satisfying everyone's appetite, Bam spoke leisurely again.

"You don't know that the name of the Tower of Babel itself is taken from the Tower of Babel, which literally means the tower that leads to the sky." Bam turned his head to look at the tower, and said in a good manner: "Whether it is from the height of this tower or the design of the shape, it deserves this title. ”

"But you said the Tower of Babel was destroyed." Many of those who listened to the story did not turn the corner.

"Yes, it was destroyed in history as far as I know." Bam's words were not clear, and many people were confused when they heard it, but Yuan Yi understood it, it was better to say that he had already been prompted before and figured out the joints.

Don't forget, Bam came through time.

He was talking about the fact that the tower had been destroyed in the war before him, but that the fact that the tower was here now is certainly not a miracle, and the only explanation is that the humans rebuilt the tower for some reason after Bam disappeared and before the human catastrophe.

This behemoth, which was built with a lot of manpower and material resources, will definitely not be just used as an ornament, and then think of Bam's story about the legend of the Tower of Babel, Bam's meaning has actually been said very clearly.

No wonder there is a sense of déjà vu, isn't this a project built by the old humans to prevent their own destruction in the cataclysm?

However, what has been said so far is only speculation, and it does not prove that it is correct.

As if seeing what Yuan Yi was thinking, Bam went straight to the experts who were surveying around with toolboxes and borrowed a masonry hammer.

"It's very easy to find out what time this tower is." Bam weighed the weight of the masonry hammer with his hand and said, "Just test it with your own hands." ”

As he spoke, he winked at Yuan Yi, then picked up the masonry hammer that he knew was very heavy at a glance, and smashed it violently on the stone pillar.

Bam's actions frightened his subordinates who were scholars or researchers, after all, this is a rare relic, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure, it is too late to protect where can it be smashed so rashly, but those guards feel that the young master is arrogant, the only thing in his heart is this kind of rough work, the young master can order them to do it.

However, in the imagination of the scene of the stone pillar breaking and dust rushing, or because of the young man's lack of strength, the stone pillar did not move in the slightest, and what appeared in front of Yuan Yi and others was that with Bam's hammer without much force, the surface of the stone pillar caused a crack, and soon, the crack seemed to extend to the surroundings like a life, and the hard soil blocks that could not be absorbed easily fell off, revealing the strange metallic luster inside.

No, it can no longer be called a stone pillar, because this pillar is entirely made of metal, and Bam looked at it and smashed it elsewhere, and came to the conclusion that the Tower of Babel, which was built later, may have been made of metal in all parts. Yuan Yi, who came to this conclusion, was undoubtedly shocked, do you think about how high this tower is, and how much manpower, material resources and resources will be spent to refine these metals?

"It's supposed to be some kind of alloy." Bam tapped his hand against the metal edge with a crisp sound, and this time he took out another dagger and tried to scratch it out, but after several attempts he found that it was in vain. These metals are far stronger than the blades of a knife, and even a mark on them cannot be done: "I don't think it is possible that such a huge project could not have been made by humans at that time to show off their wealth, and their smelting technology has far surpassed the level of my time." ”

Yuan Yi couldn't help but reach out and touch the sand and stones after they fell off. The exposed metal surface is very smooth, and most importantly, there is no trace of welding and patchwork at all.

"What the hell is it for?" Shock is shock, but if you don't know what this thing is for, then it's not as good as a piece of scrap metal, which can be used to make steel as a resource.

"This would require a thorough investigation before a conclusion can be reached, but I think that since they designed it in the form of the Tower of Babel recorded in the literature, they must have had the same expectation." Bam smiled a little noncommittally, which made his gaze skip over Yuan Yi and fall on the Bei Mansion who was touching the metal without authorization: "And Miss Bei Zhai is here, I don't want to be too far in class." ”

Yuan Yixin said that what you just said is still less, but he actually understands that Bam knows best what is before the era in which he lives, and it is understandable that he does not know or is not clear about the things of the era of the Great Tribulation because he has not experienced them at all. The reason why he still said that he had such a big call just now was actually to show favor to Yuan Yi at the same time, and to prove that his vision, experience, and what he said was true.

Yuan Yi felt that it was really troublesome to deal with this kind of person, and he spoke with a godly voice, and he had to make seventeen or eighteen turns around you in one sentence, and it was not easy to say that he was a smart person if he didn't make a fool of himself. If it weren't for the fact that Bam was really of great use to him now, otherwise Yuan Yi really didn't want to associate with this kind of person, and he would be tired and half dead when he heard him speak.

He turned his head and looked at the North Mansion where he was concentrating on collecting samples alone, and asked, "Do you know this?" ”

"He just said, the Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babel, the city of divine punishment." Beizhai replied in a calm tone.

"What's the use of it?"

"If the documentation I've seen is correct, it's a sanctuary." Kitazhai explained, "Shelter the remnants of humanity and wait for rescue from above the sky. ”

"Above the sky, do you mean the gods?"

"It's not." Beizhai stared at the no-man's land, as if searching for memories, and lightly opened his lips: "People have a premonition of the coming catastrophe, and build 13 sanctuaries at the thirteen steep peaks and mountains in this world to preserve the fire of human civilization. The sanctuary is stocked with food, materials, and equipment, which can ensure that humanity can survive in a closed environment for a hundred years, even without any support. In addition, the Sanctuary is the only sending and receiving point that can communicate with the dispatch to search for habitable planets after the destruction of the ground, provided that they can find and return to the site, of course...... I'm sorry, but as a recorder I shouldn't be so pessimistic, but ...... I really don't see any hope, a sanctuary can only hold a thousand people at most, and the calamity we face next, all those who can't be chosen will die in this calamity...... Zizi ...... Maybe...... Multiply...... The punishment for impersonating a god... We have no way back... Zizi ...... Named ...... Babel. ”
