It's horrible.

All subjects have the basic appearance of a human. Walk with both feet upright and use tools with both hands. Of course, their appearance is still different from that of modern people. The joints are larger and vary in height. Some of the subjects were simply gnomes, and some were even giants over five meters tall. In the process of creating test subjects, the Atlanteans apparently added a lot of abnormal foreign genes. The original source of these species is supposed to be other planets. Subject 31, for example, is good at digging and building on a large scale underground. They are short in stature, with an average height of only about 1.30 meters.

The preference for living underground is not a mental illness of the mind, but a purely physical and physical need. Subject 31 has cold-blooded genes that must obtain more heat from the outside world. Living on the surface is, of course, the best choice for ordinary people. But summer was followed by winter, and the long cold season was fatal to Subject 31. They can only dig as deep into the earth as possible, relying on eternal geothermal heat to keep the population going.

Due to its geographical and physiological needs, Subject 31 has an unrivaled advantage in ore finding, smelting and forging. Especially to satisfy the cold body that needs calories, they have things like alcohol and chili peppers all year round, and even constantly wage war for this.

Of all the subjects prior to Forty-Seven, Thirty-Three is the most in line with human aesthetics. They are on average around 1.90 meters tall and have perfect proportions (human opinion). Both men and women are extremely handsome and beautiful. Even from a modern perspective, Subject 33 has an aristocratic elegance. They aren't very good at fighting with force, but they have surprising agility and speed. During Subject Thirty-Three's reign on Earth, the bow and arrow became the most widely used weapon. They are computationally savvy and have a highly evolved degree of visual evolution with the naked eye. In order to compensate for the lack of physical strength and strength, Subject 33 even further developed ballistics and parabolic principles based on mathematics. Although their civilization only lasted 120,000 years and did not evolve to the age of the steam engine, it was the most brilliant and impressive of all the test subjects before Forty-Seven.

Food remains a common basic need among all subjects. This is also the part that all the researchers and "worker bees" present are confused about.

"That's not right! At its peak, the population of these subjects was only about 20 million. They are scattered and not concentrated on a single continent. Cultivating crops is more than enough to meet the demand. Look at Subject 31, they can even make wine. War for food, it clearly doesn't make sense. ”

"Every war of annihilation was preceded by no large-scale natural disasters. The variety and quantity of flora and fauna are also numerous. Even if there is a problem with farming, it can be supplemented by hunting and breeding. I really can't figure out why they starve. ”

"That's true. The claim of killing war for food is really ridiculous. Even if you have to feed on your own kind, you don't need to start a war at all. All it takes is an order from the king or the chief to kill all the inhabitants of one village and feed the other. ”

"No, no, no, the problem is obviously not as simple as you think. To kill one's own people is to slaughter, and to exterminate a population by war is quite different. The former would cause convulsions and opposition within the race, and perhaps the king himself would be assassinated by an angry populace. It is not the same to wage war against foreign countries. Problems and responsibilities can be shifted to neighboring countries, and the war dead can become smoothly resolved. Rulers have always played this kind of trick. Whether it's a test subject in the past or a present, it doesn't really make a difference. ”

"You've forgotten some of the most fundamental things."

Wang Qinian raised his head, slowly kneaded the corners of his sour eyes with his fingers, pointed to the screen with the other hand, and said in a dull voice: "Looking at things with God's vision can indeed be evaluated at will. But don't forget, the subjects are all creatures in captivity. Take a good look at the history of their civilization, Thirty-Three took 120,000 years to evolve to the feudal era, and the most advanced weapons were bows and arrows and stone throwers. The 28th Moon Min lasted for more than 300,000 years, and the rioting commoners cut off the king's head and appeared in parliament. Their weapons at that time were only the initial development and use of gunpowder, and they had infantry tactics similar to those of the Spanish phalanx. There is also Subject Forty-Six. They are the ancestors of robbers and butchers, and are as ferocious and savage as Vikings. During the period of more than 50,000 years of civilization, they only made breakthroughs in navigation and shipbuilding. He knew how to use astrology to calculate the direction of navigation, but still used the most rudimentary spears and wooden shields. ”

"Don't you think there's anything wrong with that?"

Wang Qinian opened his eyes and stared at the screen intently, his voice and tone were colder than ever: "Our civilization has only evolved from the period of ignorance to modern times after only thousands of years. We know how to build an atomic bomb, the space shuttle can leave Earth, and we leave footprints on both the Moon and Mars. And what about them? For hundreds of thousands of years, even muskets could not be made. The scene of breaking the shackles of feudalism reminds me of the French Revolution. Robespierre's **** killed the king in 1789. Compared to these test subjects, he was undoubtedly a great sage. For what? He is much more advanced than those foolish idiots who spend hundreds of thousands of years at every turn. He thought he was smart, a free leader who led the people to free the shackles of oppression. Hehe! Robespierre probably never dreamed that everything he did had a hidden force at work in the dark. It may be that some mysterious figure taught him the word "democracy" in his childhood, or that Marx traveled back in time and taught him the mystery of the exploitation of workers by capital...... All right! You are all familiar with history, and you all know what Robespierre did in 1789. Now, seeing these materials recorded by the Atlanteans, don't you have any more ideas? ”

When he said this, Wang Qinian couldn't help but think of Su Hao.

He and Su Hao had discussed similar issues countless times. It is only now that the vivid evidence is in front of him, and the doubts in Wang Qinian's heart are truly explained. If Su Hao was present, there would definitely be a difference in the angle and method of looking at the problem. After all, he is a time-traveler from another time and space, with unique thinking consciousness and logical concepts, and his ability to think and understand is also very special. Unlike now, these researchers and "worker bees" do not even have the least constructive advice except to scream and exclaim like a spring cat.

Thinking of this, Wang Qinian really wanted to travel back in time and space like Su Hao and strangle the previous ministers of education. It's all these **** who have come up with that dull assembly line education model. Whether it's a bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D., the mindset is fucking the same. can't invent and create, can't take the initiative to think, just follow other people's butts and keep copying, copycating, and picking up cheap......

"They're in captivity. They don't have any rights in the big breeding farm of the earth. You'd better keep that in mind. ”

Wang Qinian's mind was full of the urge to spray these **** researchers to death with saliva: "Food and war are just fundamental results. The subject will die and become extinct. They are indistinguishable from the guinea pigs in our lab. Don't fucking compare the current environment to the past. That's stupid. Don't you know that the Atlanteans of Hindu are able to close the environment? Don't you know that the Atlanteans had control over the soil, the air, and the water? In the age of productivity and research capacity, crop yields can be cut by technical means. If nothing else, as long as there is some force to weaken the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil, the earth will always be just a wild land where no grass grows. ”

The researcher and the "worker bee" in the room looked at each other. They all understood the hidden meaning of the old fat man's words.

"They're test subjects, and we're test subjects."

Wang Qinian directly pulled the information on the screen to the bottom of the screen, pointed to the "Advanced Experimental Subject One Hundred and Ninety-Seven", that is, the number of the human race, and roared loudly: "From now on, you'd better forget the damn history you have learned and read in school and books." Biology, botany, zoology, geology theories are all fucking nonsense. We're just a bunch of playthings that the Atlanteans hold in their hands. It's not a pity for the two fools outside to die 10,000 times (Sinoth and Ahab), and Lao Tzu wants to whip the corpses and seal them in the laboratory and dispose of them as fertilizer. Do not be bothered by your habitual experience, and look at this world from a new perspective. Remember! We are not the product of natural evolution, but the plaything of creation! Plaything! Plaything! ”

Wang Qinian's roar echoed in the room. Dozens of researchers and "worker bees" looked at the old dean they knew with great astonishment. Under the light of the light blue screen, everyone saw that Wang Qinian's eyes were overflowing with sour liquid, and tears flowed down his face.

"Don't you feel humiliated? Don't you feel pain? We consider ourselves free from the day we are born. We claim to be the wisest rulers of the earth, and all animals and plants are only vassals of humans. However, the reality is not as rosy as we imagined. We are a bunch of pigs locked in a pen looking up at the sky, stupid frogs confined to a hole in the ground and watching the sky. We have always thought that we are changing the world, creating brilliance, fantasizing about leaving Earth and going into space, ushering in a new era of interstellar migration and greaterness. But who would have thought that all this was fake. What we see with our eyes, and even what we touch with our hands, is unreal. ”

"Looking at the test subjects recorded on the data, it took more than 100,000 years to discover the wheel and start using it. Wheels, wheels, just one wheel, took them tens of thousands of generations. Look at this, Subject Fifty-One, the Norland Pheros, who did not develop the Electric Age, but developed the steam engine to the extreme. Subject Eighty-Nine, a native of Iakra Bissa, is a master of skillful craftsmanship. Although there is no power core such as an internal combustion engine, it is possible to create castles, vehicles, and even flying machines that can move freely from wood. Looking at this photo of the aircraft taken at that time, does the aircraft powered by a human-powered bicycle sound familiar? They make vehicles comparable to the gliders we had during World War II. With hundreds of people relaying the pedals, super-sized aircraft can even fly over the ocean...... And this one, Subject Ninety-Three, a native of Humeson Radamusk. This is a race that is full of violence from top to bottom. They have evolved a technological civilization that is more special than any test subject through killing and warfare. Did you see that? They used prisoners of war, slaves, and hunted large animals as their power sources, and obtained energy by pushing a fixed winch. Haha If it were you, would you have thought of such an unbelievable move? ”

Wang Qinian's big smile seems crazy, but it is not unreasonable. The "violent technology" of Subject Ninety-Three, the people of Shumeisen Radamusk, on the screen, is truly shocking, even indescribably terrifying.

They made a large number of war machines out of wood and metal. There are combat vehicles similar to armored vehicles and tanks, which rely on wheels to move freely; There is also a jumping machine that uses two slender and flexible hind limbs like a bird to move forward agilely. Due to technological limitations, the people of Shumeisen Ladausk did not develop gunpowder. Therefore, these war machines are not equipped with machine guns and turrets, but only serve as carriers for transporting soldiers and archers. Whether it is a combat vehicle or a jumping machine, its internal power source is a huge geared winch. It was usually manned by five to twenty slaves, or simply a sturdy beast that resembled a cow or horse.

"Did you see that? We are not the only ones who can find the most correct path to scientific evolution. None of these subjects found electricity, let alone any use or research on it. Looking at these materials, the Norland Ferros had already designed a steam castle more than 500 meters high at the time of their extinction, and this thing could move freely anywhere. Entering the sea will enclose the bilge and turn it into a warship. The understanding and thinking of the people of Iacla Pizza in mechanical transmission is extreme. It only takes five Newtons of force to drive an aircraft through the air for nearly six minutes. Even we can't do that, or even understand the relationship between the precision gears on the design drawings. There is also the human warfare machinery of the people of Shumeisen Ladausk, and only blood, fire and war can create this terrible creation in the age of low ignorance. Instead of pushing or pulling the chariot forward, the slaves and beasts were translating energy inside the well-protected hull. The operator can control the direction, and there is a special overseer who is responsible for whipping the slave with a whip to control the speed of the vehicle...... When you see this, don't you have any doubts in your hearts? Don't you feel scared? ”

There was complete silence in the room. Both the researcher and the "worker bee" are lost in thought. No one was afraid of Wang Qinian's clamor and madness as usual, and everyone's face showed doubts and trouble.

"Electricity is the foundation that can never be bypassed by technological development. Without electricity, how could they possibly produce a further advanced civilization? ”

"Perhaps, we are lucky. Electricity, while important, may not be essential for technological evolution. The steam engine civilization of the Noland-Pheros people is already very telling. They can even take their burning boilers into the sky to create steam helicarriers. ”

"The path of technological development is not absolute. The geared aircraft of the Iacla Bisas may be a substitute for a spaceship. High-speed and precise energy conversion may be able to create a new kind of energy. Maybe it's magnetic energy, or it's the radiant energy from an explosion. ”

Wang Qinian's words were like a key that opened a new door in front of everyone. Inside, there is a whole new field that has never been imagined or set foot in. It's all exhilarating, it's all intimidating. The science and technology of these subjects are refreshing, but they are also accompanied by heavy worries.

Yes, technology is not isolated, and there are many ways to get there. Either way, it's possible to reach it. The difference is only in the length of time.

The excitement of the conversation died down, and the room fell silent again. This time, there was no longer the same impulse and eagerness on people's faces, only nervousness and trepidation.

After a long time, a short researcher slowly asked in an extremely strange tone: "For what, for what will it be us?" ”

A tall middle-aged "worker bee" remembered what Su Hao once said, and subconsciously blurted out: "Because we were chosen." ”

Wang Qinian did not participate in the discussion. His frenzy and anger had subsided, and he seemed calm. In the faint light, his hair, eyebrows, and eyes were a dull grayish white, even the clothes on his body. The whole person seems to be a statue without thinking and blood pressure, cold and dull to be fearful.

"Yes, we were chosen."

Wang Qinian said slowly: "But this sentence is not entirely true. We should have been "turned". In order of these materials, the human being is Subject 197. The Atlanteans apparently saw the shortcomings of the evolution of civilization in a single line, so they synthesized the advantages and disadvantages of various previous experimental subjects, and constantly revised and transformed the later experimental subjects. "The same goes for clothes. The whole person seems to be a statue without thinking and blood pressure, cold and dull to be fearful.

"Yes, we were chosen."

Wang Qinian said slowly: "But this sentence is not entirely true. We should have been "turned". In order of these materials, the human being is Subject 197. The Atlanteans apparently saw the shortcomings of the evolution of civilization in a single line, so they synthesized the advantages and disadvantages of various previous experimental subjects, and constantly revised and transformed the later experimental subjects. ”
