Chapter 401: Experiment
There is no doubt that the Atlanteans were building the Earth. Humans are the test subjects they have bred in captivity. Wang Qinian is right, but there are almost no people who see the problem like him.
Not all creatures evolved according to the Atlantean design. On this earth, there are still many beings that belong neither to plants nor to animals.
For example, Cordyceps sinensis, there is also a species of alien fish that is active in the deep sea and relies on shimmering light and geothermal heat to survive. However, they do not pose a threat to humans and do not affect the circulation of the entire natural environment.
Every piece of information caused a burst of exclamations, and everyone's faces were full of excitement, shock and horror. Several of the researchers' eyes were almost completely attached to the light curtain. What they saw completely subverted their understanding of this world. The word "science" becomes as funny as the smile on the clown's face at this moment. The so-called glorious civilization of mankind is just an inconspicuous gadget. After all, they do not form naturally, but appear according to some kind of predetermined trajectory. The difference is only in the time of day.
Wang Qinian's shock was no less than that of the others present. The old fat man's mood at the moment is very contradictory, both the self-satisfaction of the pre-knowledge of the thing itself, and the fear of potential danger. The Atlanteans have been around for much longer than you think. They created the Earth, but they didn't keep an accurate time on the records.
Long before humans, there were several intelligent life forms on Earth. They were all test subjects dropped by the Atlanteans. The first test object resembles a spider, with an upper body similar to that of a human, but a lower body with eight arthropods. This half-spider, half-human species has created a very powerful civilization on Earth. It was an immensely large empire that lasted for more than six hundred years and then fell into fragmentation, followed by a series of wars, mergers, wars, and mergers...... After more than 1.3 million years, in the last unification war, the Spider-Man Empire suffered a tsunami, and the entire race was completely wiped out.
A detailed image of two Spider-Man men and a woman appeared on the light curtain.
This creature definitely does not fit into the aesthetic point of view of humans. Their bodies are covered with rough bristles, and their shoulders, back, and eight legs even have hard, sharp spines. There is not much external sex trait between males and females. Only when mating with each other will the males pop out the genitals contracted in the body and insert them into the female's uterus.
They are not very intelligent. More than 1.3 million years have passed only to the Iron Age. Spider-Man has always been in the slave age, with a simple and crude language system and no mathematical concepts. It is likely that genes play a role in this. They have small brains but strong bodies. Especially in hand-to-hand combat, it was so good that the armies of both sides caused a large number of deaths during the division war.
According to the data, the war in the Spider-Man Empire was completely provoked by the Atlanteans. The subsequent splits and mergers were for the same reason. In the era when the Spider-Man ruled the Earth, the land and the sea each occupied half of the planet's area, and the continent was also intact. The Atlanteans created the great tsunami that destroyed the Spider-Men. At the end of the document, Spider-Man is labeled: "Advanced Subject One".
The flood waters receded, and the earth was remodeled in just half a year. The main source of change is the plant, the Atlanteans released nutrient growth promoters on a large scale on the earth, and the plants that grew wildly reached the point where it would take decades to flourish in half a year.
"Advanced Subject No. 2" is a species with a human head and a snake body.
Compared to Spider-Men, Snake People have a distinctly gendered appearance and are also more intelligent than Spider-Men. They have been on the earth for about 800,000 years, and they are still slavery, and the highest level of technology is only at the bronze stage. However, the snake people have developed basic mathematical concepts. They know how to make stone-throwing carts, they know how to use plant hemp for compilation, and they also derive simple tactics in warfare.
Due to the special structure of the body, some snake people entered the sea and showed signs of evolutionary regression. There are also some snake tails with legs and feet, which can walk upright for a short time, and still rely on the snake tail to move forward most of the time.
The Snake Man Empire perished in the blazing heat. The light curtain shows some of the cultural materials of the snake people collected at that time. They prayed to heaven with priests, slaughtering hundreds of slaves, cattle and sheep for the blessing of the gods. These pious creatures eventually did not get the peace they wanted, and nine suns appeared in the sky, bringing terrible fire and heat to the earth. Countless snake people were dehydrated and dried out in the sun, huddled in shady corners where the sun could not reach, only to be crushed to death by the ensuing earthquake. The whole land was scorched and foul-smelling, and the corpses of the painfully dead snakemen were everywhere. All the snake people were desperate to think that this was a punishment from heaven, but no one thought that it was just the result of the Atlanteans setting up eight giant heat energy releasers and specular reflectors in outer space.
Since the "Advanced Subject III", the experimental species have undergone changes that are clearly different from the previous two. The Atlanteans gave up extracting genes from spiders and snakes and directly injected culture agents into marine creatures, completing the whole process of transforming from fish to apes in a short period of time. In today's view, this kind of technique is actually not too mysterious, nor is it profound. It is equivalent to using computer simulation, placing selected marine microorganisms in a virtual environment, and dividing and reproducing hundreds of millions of times according to a pre-set pathway. From asexual to intersexual, from tiny individuals to ever-increasing that can devour other species, and then evolve into fish with hard carapaces and sharp teeth.
People who love to have pets have had such experiences. It does take a lot of time and effort to train a dog to be a follower who obeys the owner's commands. Dogs are not born to go to the toilet, and defecating in the open at home will only attract a stick. The dual effect of food and violence can teach dogs to go to the bathroom on their own when they are in an emergency. Of course, it will never learn how to wipe its butt with toilet paper.
The Atlanteans forcibly trained fish to live ashore. It was a very cruel, extremely cruel act. Biological agents are constantly being injected into the ocean, with doses ranging from weak to small amounts, increasing in concentration. Lower-level organisms that do not adapt die in large numbers, and those that can adapt must face the grim reality of massive food shortages even if they survive. The only way to change this dilemma is to leave the familiar marine environment and move to land.
In the process, a series of strange biological forms emerged. The Atlanteans used a constant supply of potions to speed up the evolution of living things. The first species to land was a crocodile-like lizard. This is followed by a huge number and variety of animals. Among them, there is even a fish-headed human body, a fish-man who began to walk upright with two hind limbs.
The appearance of the Fish-Man is an exception. The two tests that preceded them were the Spider Man and the Snake Man. They all carry Atlantean genes. Obviously, Spider Man and Snake Man are among the failed works. Given the lessons of the past, the Atlanteans did not intend to implant the same genes into Subject Three. However, the Atlanteans were unable to clean up the Earth's testing site thoroughly, and a very small number of spider-man and snake-man genes were still preserved. They eventually combined with Subject Three to become the fish-people the Atlanteans never expected.
It is an extremely crazy, savage, and cruel species. Since there has been no intelligent transformation, the fish-man's sense of action is completely dictated by the instinct of the species. They have no food restrictions, any animal is their source of nutrition, and most plants also become food in the fish population. What's even more terrifying is that the reproductive system of the fish-people completely inherits the characteristics of the fish. Although they have landed, they are still breeding in the seawater. A female fish-man can give birth to up to tens of thousands of fish eggs at a time, coupled with the drastic changes in the marine environment, there are almost no natural predators in the liquid environment, and the fish-man population has occupied the entire earth for more than 200 years.
It was an unprecedented disaster. They eat almost everything they can use as food. From plants to animals, nothing was spared. Trees, weeds, ferns, seaweeds, vines...... Large reptiles, mollusks, insects...... Each fish-man clan has at least a few hundred thousand in size. Every migration causes devastating damage to local species. At the end of the day, the fish-man who has nothing to eat takes aim at his own kind. They are constantly waging wars on the barren earth, annihilating a tribe and eating a tribe. The intact land makes killing incredibly easy. There is no need to cross the sea by boat, just run from one point on the mainland to another. When all the rival tribes are slaughtered, the spearhead of food is directed against their own people. At the end, the hungry red-eyed fish-man could only open his mouth full of sharp teeth and pounce on his parents, his wife and children, and his brothers.
Experiment 3 lasted less than 50,000 years. But I don't know why, but this extremely bloody information is marked with "5% success rate." 12".
The destruction of the entire continent began after the extinction of Subject Three.
There is no reason for this, only a detailed list of the process. The Mariana Trench and the Great Rift Valley are masterpieces left over from that time. Compared to the intercontinental land, which has been forcibly divided, they are actually only a small crack.
"Advanced Subject Four" is a monkey.
The word "monkey" is indeed a bit insulting to the creature. In fact, it was a giant ape created in a laboratory. According to the data, this is a synthetic life form based on the Atlanteans based on their own genes and added the genes of some alien species. It is an omnivore and has a similar physical appearance to the Atlanteans.
Subject 4 was placed in its current location in the Pampas savannah. It was a forest. Two months later, a second identical test subject was introduced. Of course, this is not the same male as the first one, but a female.
The Atlanteans of this period may have felt that the mass creation of species would produce uncontrollable changes. As a result, the number of Subject 4 has not increased. The testing area is also artificially isolated, with all dangers being kept out except for small creatures that do not pose a danger to the subject. The purpose of the experiments was only to observe, and they regularly injected the female great apes with sterilization agents, constantly bringing them back to the laboratory for detailed testing.
Giant apes are not human after all. Even real humans may develop a fear of such casual scrutiny, which can turn into hostility. In the sixth year of the experiment, the giant ape brought back to the laboratory suddenly attacked. It caused considerable damage, bypassed the electronic alert system and fled outside.
With the ability of the Atlanteans, it is actually very simple to capture the two giant apes. But instead of doing so, they chose to release new life species on Earth in large numbers, while sealing off the area where the two giant apes live. In this way, new plants and animals appeared. Under the action of nutritional growth promoters, the rate of evolution of plants and animals is increasing. Giant apes that survive in confined environments are also affected, and they quickly breed into large populations and then split up and spread out to all corners of the land.
The Atlanteans' move to divide the continent was most likely intended to create an independent testing ground. Some great apes learned to walk upright during migration and began to use tools. In order to verify that this was not due to one region, the great ape population was dispersed and transported to other continents. During this process, the Atlanteans monitored their daily activities and eliminated threats from other species as much as possible. After all, the great ape population is actually very weak compared to other species. This period is known as the "Cretaceous Period" in the history of the study of earth civilization.
Human research on the history of the Earth is not accurate. This is entirely because of the interference of the Atlanteans with the evolution of the species. Thanks to the effects of growth-promoting agents, the great ape population evolved into hominid after 2,000 years. They are about the same height as the Atlanteans, reaching about two and a half to three meters. The intelligence of these giants far exceeds that of any previous experimental species. They survived on Earth for more than 70,000 years, successfully evolved into the feudal era, possessed short voyages, and were able to build cities of a certain size. However, these giants were still no match for dinosaurs and other large creatures, and their numbers were so small that the Atlanteans decided to lift the lockdown and let the alien species experiment with them for fusion, and all the giant groups were exterminated by the dinosaurs.
There are many more test subjects to come. The standard numbers are arranged all the way up to the "forty-seven".
Each test subject has gone through the process of going from savage to civilized. The duration of these civilizations varied, but all dates from the obscurantist Stone Age. Some are hundreds of thousands of years old, others are less than 50,000 years old. The social details of each generation of test subjects are documented. Chiefs, chieftains, kings, emperors...... The degree of civilization continued by each test subject varies according to the time of its development. The social system is still dominated by slavery and feudalism, and only two experimental subjects with a civilization that lasted for more than 200,000 years have successfully evolved into a constitutional monarchy. They even invented the steam engine and learned how to use electricity.
None of the subjects survived. They are always suffering from all sorts of disasters. Volcanic eruptions around the globe, intense El Niño, melting icebergs at the poles causing flooding of land, or simply the collision of warm and cold air currents leading to hurricanes that last for several years, or even tsunamis ......
Natural disasters are only one of the causes of the extinction of civilization. The main cause is still the war between different countries within the same test subject. Although they did not make the feared weapon of the nuclear bomb, the rulers and warriors had a shocking tyranny and blood. Due to the extremely low productivity, food has been almost the biggest cause of wars. The war between the test subjects' nations is largely aimed at plundering the population and feeding on its own species that have died in war. Every winter and spring is the time when the armies of various countries go to war on a large scale. In addition to all the civilians in the occupied area, the victor can also get the corpses of all the dead on the battlefield. If the two sides are tied and neither side has the strength to continue fighting, then send messengers to divide the dead on the battlefield. Whether it is one's own people or enemies, it is food that can sustain the existence of the state and provide for more living people.
This information made everyone's eyes redden, and there was something indescribable in their hearts that was struggling wildly. Most of the researchers' faces were pale, and the "worker bees" also looked solemn, their expressions more serious and heavy than ever before.
"This, is this possible?"
A half-bald researcher lifted his eyes on the bridge of his nose and slid down his nose, put his hand on his chest, let out a long exhale, and said with difficulty, "It's, this, it's incredible." Are they short of food? Or is there not enough crops to harvest? It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense. ”
No one answered his question, and the room remained silent.
Whether it is a researcher who can be favored by Wang Qinian as a confidant, or an evolutionary "worker bee" who is qualified to participate in this plan, they are all extremely outstanding figures in peacetime. They have received a systematic education, have an eclectic view of things, and have strong understanding and thinking skills.
The birthplace of the history of human civilization on earth should be China. Beginning with the recorded Xia Dynasty (Western scholars have always disrecognized the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, this book does not intend to discuss this aspect, graduate students please pass by), it has continued for thousands of years. Wars between nations and nations always have different inducements, mostly for the interests of commerce, land, population, etc. Of course, fighting for food is one of them, but it is inconceivable to kill a test subject simply to satisfy hunger, or even feed on the dead.
