After the failure of the first voyage, we completely and completely refurbished the spacecraft. Starting from the smallest link, we must strive for excellence. No one likes to fail, and even more, such a failure has to take the lives of many people. And just like that, in the midst of the great attention of the Atlanteans, the second launch took place again. Again, the same results were obtained. Almost at the same time, in the same place, they also lost all contact with the Earth. It was from that time that we felt that the problem was important and strange. After all, two spaceships crashed at the same location, and such a reason really doesn't make sense. Tianxiang nodded approvingly. Such a "coincidence" is really unacceptable to the class. In the next two years after that, Atlantis did not launch any manned spacecraft. Instead, he buried his head and carefully analyzed all the components that make up the ship. Starting from the tiniest proportion of the metal content of the screws, to the reasonableness of the overall design of the spacecraft, the most comprehensive and complete inspection began. At that time, we still thought that the crux of the problem was still our own. This tedious and energy-consuming work continued until two years later, when an archivist's negligence diverted everyone's attention to something else. ”

"Negligence? What negligence? "That's a guy in the space department who is responsible for all the spacecraft's archives. During one of the changes in the Archives, he took a document containing copies of all the communication records of the two ships. Misplaced in the location of the normal machine file. And the person who took this file was none other than the second designer of the spaceship. His youngest son was also one of those shipwrecked during the voyage. Probably wanting to see the last words sent back by his loved ones when they were dying! He made a private copy of the file and took it home to study it carefully. It turned out that in the two communication documents, there was a rather strange problem. ”

"Oh? What's the problem? Tianxiang asked. The normal recording time of the spacecraft is calculated based on the Earth time system. The designer discovered that both spacecraft had sent back a nearly identical communication as they approached the edge of the solar system. Moreover, if the departure time of the two spacecraft is combined into the same day. Then, the time when these messages were sent was only less than an hour before and after, that is, two Earth days after that, the people on the spaceship never contacted us again... ”

"That message ... What exactly was said? Tianxiang couldn't help but be a little curious. The original text of the message. It goes like this: "That huge meteorite. It has been following us. It seems that the spaceship has an incomparably attractive attraction to it. However, it is too far away from us. It will not be able to do any damage to the ship itself." ”

"Are the two messages exactly the same?" "Roughly the same. The theme of the earth mentioned in it is this large meteorite. Due to the amount of information sent back by the spacecraft every day, such a short sentence is of no practical significance. Naturally, it was put aside as a joke by the reception staff at the time. If it weren't for the archivist's negligence, I'm afraid we still don't know what happened to this day. ”

"You mean, you know the inside scoop?" Tianxiang asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not so sure. "That's true. We know everything. ”

"What is the reason for this?"

Speaking of this, the Sea Tribesmen sitting around the round table couldn't help but show a strange expression. The eyes also looked at the leader in the middle. The face of the subject of the look also obviously has an indescribably complex expression. "This question ... I can't tell you the exact reason for that."

"Why?" Tianxiang screamed in surprise. The Sea Tribesmen showed nervousness and panic. and the desire of the head to stop talking, it really made him incomprehensible. What else could make them so fearful of such a powerful evolutionary race as they were? "I'm sorry......" The leader shook his head with a wry smile: "In this world, there are too many things that you can't understand but actually exist. I won't tell you why, but it's for your own good. After all, you haven't evolved enough. Knowing these things too early. For you and your people, there is no time for good. The ability to accept foreign things is too limited by human knowledge. Knowing too much before you have enough power is for your present situation...... It can only add more trouble. Tianxiang didn't dwell on this matter. just nodded silently, and quietly suppressed the doubts in his heart. Since the other party's attitude is quite clear, if you chase after your subordinates, you can only get strong disgust and resistance. Instead of this, it is better to take advantage of the good atmosphere of conversation and learn some more secrets from the sea people. What's more, they have already said that I am afraid that they will not be able to understand the specific reasons at all.

He was really touched by this. It's like a great mathematician full of wisdom talking about the profound geometry of functions to a baby who is less than a year old. Probably because the conversation just now touched on too many past events that the Sea Clan people didn't want to mention! For more than ten minutes after this, neither the head nor Tianxiang spoke. It seems that they are all trying to figure out how to change the current embarrassing situation.

The first to break the ice was Tianxiang.

"Why do you live under the sea? Is this due to your own evolution? Or, for some other reason?" That's probably something you've been trying to figure out for a long time! The leader slowly stretched out his hands. Curled up his fingers and slowly made a void ring in front of the table. The faint mist that filled the room with a faint blue glow brought up tiny swirls. All of this, it seems, seems so mysterious, and has a kind of beauty and wonder that cannot be described in words. "Sea Clan, that's the only name we claim to be by the outside world. It is also a veritable and most accurate name. According to the normal living environment of human beings, the area of the oceans occupies the absolute majority of the earth, except for those who can breathe with their gills. or mammals that have fully adapted to the aquatic environment and have evolved to be able to take shape in the water. I'm afraid there is no other creature that would take more interest in the sea. As a result, all life on the earth is divided into two parts: terrestrial and aquatic. In spite of all this, he has not yet touched on the crux of his own problem. But Tianxiang is still extremely serious. Keep all the words in your heart. Judging by the previous conversation of the first one. What he said was definitely not the kind of empty talk that didn't make any sense. "I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's a deliberate arrangement by a creature. Like later evolutionary humans, the ancestors of the Atlanteans were also due to an ape that lived in an earlier period. Of course, the living habits and environments of the two species may not be exactly the same. However, their eventual evolutionary result was the creation of a bipedal high-level sapient creature that was identical in appearance. If we can take a longer view, so that the traces of time can leave traces in the earlier past, then you will definitely see with your own eyes that at the beginning of the formation of the earth, when all living things had not yet evolved into independent individuals, the first single-celled organisms were born in the environment of the sea. So, in this sense, Atlantis settled in the depths of the ocean is fundamentally a biological instinct that traces back to its roots. This is our home! No matter what kind of creature is, only at the most critical moment, will they think of their home.

"The origin of human beings and the ocean, this truth Tianxiang understands, but he didn't expect that the head would actually use such a reason to explain, which really made him feel emotional, but also a little more surprised in his heart." Hehe! Loving home, of course, is not the best excuse. The one who saw through his mind laughed: "In fact, the Atlanteans settled in the sea, except for the return of the origin of life, the most fundamental purpose. Or because of the war. ”

"War?"

"Yes, it's war." The leader nodded affirmatively; "The war, which killed more than 200 million Atlanteans, destroyed almost all the cities we built. Even, they want to destroy the entire Atlantean human civilization. At that time, Atlantis as a whole did not have any organized military power at all. We are a peace-loving race, a culture. Art and all kinds of civilian technology, that is the thing we are most obsessed with, never imagined that one day, these things can be used to kill people. It is for this reason that all the Atlanteans were defenseless when disaster struck. We can only watch as the city we built with our own hands is blown into blackened ruins by the thunder and fire that fell from the sky. He could only watch his relatives being killed alive, but he had no ability to resist at all. The only thing we can do is to destroy the foundations of the entire continental shelf with electromagnetic bombs under the last fortified city. Caused a huge tsunami that engulfed almost half the world. Wrapped in monstrous waves and red-hot lava, our last city slowly sank into the sea. In this way, the only remnant bloodline of the Atlantean civilization is preserved. ”

"Wait, you mean, the legendary Great West Continent of the ancients really exists? And, you sank this huge piece of land to the bottom of the sea? Although such a statement is really jaw-dropping, Tianxiang can't help but want to confirm it again. Not bad! The leader said calmly: "It is true that we personally blew up and sank our own Atlantis continent. That is, what you call the Great West Continent. According to the original ocean-to-continent ratio of the thunder earth, it should be five or five, not as it is now, most of which is occupied by the ocean, and if it weren't for the explosion, the sea level would not have risen suddenly. There will also be much more land locations exposed to the surface of the water than there are now。。。。。 ”

"But。。。。。 But...... Why is all this? ”

"For evacuation." The leader sighed helplessly: "If it weren't for the war, who would have made such a crazy move?" This is the only way we can make our enemies think that all the Atlanteans have been killed. That's why you can see the underwater Atlantis City today. ”

"Aren't you afraid of destroying the entire earth by doing this?" Tianxiang was shocked and angry, and he couldn't help but hear the step-by-step instructions of the leader when he first came, asking him to live in peace with other creatures. "Afraid! But in that case, we simply don't have a second option. Speaking of this, the tone of the head was obviously mixed with a hint of shame: "But." Then again, if it weren't for the fact that we almost blew up the entire earth and caused all living things to evolve again from the most basic state, I'm afraid there would be no later earthlings. ”

"Say so. I am able to stand here today. Or was it thanks to the Atlanteans? Tianxiang narrowed his eyes and replied mockingly. It's all a coincidence! I don't know if he didn't hear what the other party said, or if he didn't want to refute it, the leader ignored Tianxiang's sarcasm, just raised his head and sighed towards the hazy blue of the zenith: "In order to be able to continue the reproduction of the population." All the Atlanteans who survived the war went to the bottom of the sea. And the huge explosion that sank the entire continent into the sea also caused irreparable damage to the entire environment of the earth at that time. While we protect ourselves, we also create an artificial sea of death. It was filled with a large amount of deadly material filled with radioactive elements, and it was not until thousands of years later, when everything was naturally dissipated, that new Earth life reappeared in the ocean. Moreover, in terms of its variety and quantity, it is far beyond the past. "Thanks to you. It's not small. Tianxiang secretly gritted his teeth and returned sarcastically.

"Maybe!" The leader doesn't seem to have any intention of justifying. Just said lightly: "The man-made explosion caused a violent movement of the originally calm crust. Under the traction of the volcano, all the magma buried in the ground erupted at about the same time. They burned off all connections between the continents, and slowly and irresistibly pushed them out of their original positions under the tremendous gravitational pull. This was undoubtedly the most terrible desperate situation for all kinds of creatures who were accustomed to the earth's environment at that time. "Is the drift of the continent so terrible?" Tianxiang was a little puzzled. According to his understanding, the moving continent is like a huge and stable ship. Although it is impossible to predict the future of the earth, there is no danger that sailing in the sea may capsize at any time! "If it's just a short-distance drift, of course it's not worth worrying about," the leader who saw through his inner thoughts slowly shook his head: "However, that drift has lasted too long, and the continents are too distant from each other. So much so that when it came to complete stabilization, the continents that were originally united eventually split into several pieces. And their respective positions are also far from their previous positions. Such a situation is simply the most terrible catastrophe for the creatures living on the continent. "How is this possible?" Tianxiang smiled disapprehantly: "Don't be so alarmist, isn't it just to transfer your location." How could it be so serious as you say? ”

"Young people, how strong do you think you will be able to adapt to the environment?" Instead of answering his question directly, the leader asked rhetorically.

"I don't know," Tianxiang said frankly, "I only know that no matter how harsh the environment is, human beings can face it." Because we have the ability to transform nature. "Clothes and fire keep the cold out, water and ice cool down. This is the most basic truth that every human being understands. The leader sighed lightly: "As an intelligent creature, of course, this is understandable. However, for those who are still evolving, cold and heat are simply the most terrible enemies that cannot be resisted! ”

“…… What do you mean...... Climate change? Speaking of this, Tianxiang seemed to have some understanding of the other party's words. It's just that the meaning it represents really makes him shudder. "Yes, I'm talking about the climate." The leader nodded slightly: "The divided continent has drifted to all corners of the earth. From the cold poles to the hot equator, the huge climate change made almost all life on earth extinct at that time. Only a very small number of races with particularly strong survivability are able to continue to reproduce ....... ”。
