Chapter 659: Origin of Species
Everyone looked at each other, although they were mentally prepared, they were still surprised by Qiu Lan's narration.
Qiu Lan's voice did not stop, and continued to speak: "At the beginning, the creatures created by the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa were all according to their own appearance, or the appearance of the creatures that once lived on the earth. Therefore, in the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there will be many strange-looking creatures. For example, a fish with wings, a monster with a human face and a beast body, etc., ......"
Everyone nodded in unison.
In the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are indeed many strange-looking and even unbelievable creatures.
Because of these, people have different opinions about the origin of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Some people think that it is just a strange book, a strange world imagined by some ancients. But there are also those who feel that it is an encyclopedia of antiquity......
Now it seems that the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" may really be an encyclopedia of ancient times. The strange creatures recorded in the book once really lived in this world. It's just that they're all experiments. In the end, it disappears, either because it does not adapt to the new environment on Earth, or there is some kind of defect in the genes......
Although there were all kinds of speculations, everyone did not say anything, but waited for Qiu Lan to continue to tell the information she saw.
Qiu Lan's next words also confirmed their guess.
"It's a pity that the creatures that were first created by the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa have many peculiar abilities, but they can't adapt to the new environment on the earth and are extinct one after another...... Some of the creatures that survived by luck were also difficult to grow their groups and develop civilizations because of their poor reproductive ability. ”
When Luo Yun heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the earthwork and the old earthwisp next to him.
Isn't this kind of creature like Qiu Lan said, lucky to survive, but because of its poor reproductive ability, it can't grow the race and develop civilization?
Although the Hijikata believed that the reason why the Tuji clan could not grow was because of the food. But Luo Yun found that the number of cubs in the Earth Wisp clan was extremely small.
Obviously, like pandas, they have the defect of poor reproductive ability.
They didn't wipe out, so they were lucky.
Qiu Lan continued: "The Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa did not get discouraged, let alone give up, but made persistent efforts. Finally, they created a group of creatures that were able to adapt to the new environment of the planet. But these creatures still have their shortcomings. That is, the IQ is not high, and the learning ability is not strong. Such creatures are obviously unable to develop civilizations. ”
"In the years they have been creating, they have encountered several attacks from extraterrestrial demons. Some of their companions were brutally killed after being discovered by the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons. Because their hiding place is very hidden, they have escaped these disasters. At the same time, they found that the extraterritorial heavenly demons had no desire to occupy the earth. They came to Earth for the purpose of plundering! ”
"Plunder all the resources of the earth, from the aura to the veins...... As long as it is a resource, they will not give up. Sometimes, they even plunder the creatures of the earth. The ancient gods speculated that the looted creatures had either become food for the extraterritorial demons or had become their slaves. ”
"Why don't they take over the earth? Wouldn't it be more convenient to develop this place into a colony and plunder it? ”
Everyone was puzzled.
In fact, after knowing the existence of the extraterritorial heavenly demons, this question has been bothering them.
Qiu Lan checked the information and said, "According to the guesses of the ancient gods, it is likely that the extraterritorial heavenly demons are unable to immigrate to the earth on a large scale due to some special reasons. And a small number of people are left on the earth, and they can't establish colonies, so they simply don't leave people, let the creatures on the earth multiply, and every three thousand years, they come to harvest once, saving worry and effort. ”
Everyone nodded.
Such an explanation is also in the past.
Qiu Lan continued the previous topic: "In order to keep the civilization of the earth from being interrupted, the ancient gods kept trying biological experiments and created all kinds of creatures. Finally, one day, they discovered that the creatures created based on the extraterritorial heavenly demons were not only suitable for the new environment on the earth, but also possessed high intelligence and learning ability...... So they imitated the extraterritorial demons and created many creatures. Among them, the creature that is relatively most like an extraterritorial heavenly demon is called a ...... in modern biology Apeman. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately exploded.
"Ape-man?"
"I remember biology seems to say that the direct ancestors of humans are ape-men, right?"
"The ape-man was actually created based on the extraterritorial heavenly demons? Doesn't that mean that in our bodies, more or less, there is a little bit of extraterrestrial demon genes? ”
Everyone's words made the laboratory very noisy, so that Qiu Lan had no way to continue talking. As a last resort, Luo Yun could only speak: "Be quiet and listen to Qiu Lan continue." ”
Only then did everyone fall silent.
Qiu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, in our bodies, there is more than a little bit of extraterritorial heavenly demon genes......
"What do you mean?" Zou Peng, Ling Xi and others were stunned.
Luo Yun and Xia Yue glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Obviously, the two of them guessed something.
Although Qiu Lan wanted to calm herself, she couldn't calm down: "As I just said, ape people are just relatively speaking, most like extraterritorial heavenly demon creatures, so although they have intelligence and learning ability, they have only developed some small races, not even tribes, let alone developed city-states, countries, and civilizations. Such a situation obviously could not satisfy the ancient gods. So on the basis of the ape-man, they created a creature that was more like an extraterritorial demon......"
Ling Yiyi's mouth opened wide, and she spit out two words in shock: "People...... Kind? ”
"That's right." Qiu Lan nodded.
"it!" Ling Xi couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth, "We actually created it based on the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, this amount of information is a bit large, and my brain is a little messy......"
Luo Yun said: "What's so messy? Although we were created by the ancient gods based on extraterrestrial demons, we are human beings, not extraterrestrial demons. Even if they look the same and have similar genes, they are two completely different creatures. ”
"That's true." Xia Yue agreed, and then sighed and said: "No wonder the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon can easily pretend to be a human and blend in with us, it turns out that he himself is similar to us in appearance and genes, and it is naturally not a big problem to impersonate us." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, thinking that this was the reason.
At this time, Li Bo thought of another question: "From ape-man to human, there are millions of years in between. Can the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa, the survivors of the previous civilization, live for so long? ”
