Chapter 214: Reviving Civilization

In this way, I took back the five Infinity Stones from Thanos, snapped my fingers, wiped out Thanos and his army, and brought half of the world back to this land."

Tony roughly told them some of the plot of the Avengers, but ignored the background of the era, and some things were replaced by him with words that these people were more familiar with.

For example, "alien" was replaced by "extraterrestrial." For example, "starship" was replaced by "warship".

Seeming to be a little thirsty, he hit his box again, and groped for a hot water kettle from inside, unscrewed the lid, and a few goji berries floated in it.

He poured the kettle on the lid, gently blew away the heat in front of him, and took a sip.

Goji berry soaking water is something Char has been drinking recently, and according to him, it has some benefits for the body.

Tony's age has also arrived, so he naturally learned to drink.

He used to drink cold water, but after drinking too much tea, he gradually became accustomed to drinking warm water.

According to Char, drinking warm water is better for the body than drinking cold water because the stomach does not need to expend excess energy to heat cold water, it can be absorbed directly.

Gallant and the others also recovered from the shock.

"In this world, such a thing has ever happened?"

"But why is there no record at all?"

"It must have been a long time ago, and there are no records of Egyptian civilization?"

"How do I think people in the past are better than people now.

There are so many pyramids that are not easy for people to build now, and they can still fight against such an army of extraterritorial demons. ”

Simon came back to his senses and asked, "Does the Infinity Stones still exist?" ”

"There's definitely no such thing in this world." Tony said.

Simon nodded reassuringly.

"That's the best outcome."

"Indeed." Gallant nodded, "If there really is a treasure of this power, then there will never be peace in this world." ”

He looked at Tony, "And after that?" ”

"I died after that snap of my fingers, and what happened after that, I don't really know." "But when I woke up again, it was the same person who woke me up and gave me a new life." ”

"Perhaps the gentleman also thought it would be a pity for a hero like you to die like that." Gallant said, "You deserve it." ”

Tony raised his chin, but didn't say anything.

As a person who said the classic "I am Iron man" at a press conference, he is not a low-key person, on the contrary, he also has a certain amount of vanity, so he is not uncomfortable with Gallant's compliments.

He has no regrets about his past life and is proud of it.

Although it is shorter than the vast majority of people, it is also more wonderful than the vast majority of people.

There aren't many opportunities in this world to save so many people.

"Dada~"

The sound of clockwork turning and the footsteps of the mechanical rat caught everyone's attention, and they turned their heads, and at the end of the tunnel, a badly damaged pathfinder rat was crawling towards it tremblingly.

Many parts of the body fell out, and there were even some hideous knife cuts.

"It doesn't look like it's been a very quiet journey." Tony said quietly, his silent hand raising his hand to grab the mouse.

The refining array on the armor of his right hand lit up with a faint glow, and the treasure hunting rat was quickly rerefined and changed back to its previous appearance.

He took the clockwork key and continued to wind the rat, then put it back on the ground.

"Let's go."

Hearing this, Gallant and the rest of the team stood up from the ground, "Is it okay?" ”

"Since it's back, it means it's found its way." Tony said.

They hurriedly lifted the bag containing those fluorescent fruits, and followed the mouse deeper into the dungeon little by little.

As they walked deeper into the tunnel, they threw some glow fruits around.

Fear comes from the unknown, and darkness is most of what brings the unknown, so these glow fruits may give them a higher sense of security than a wand in their hand.

As Tony said, this dungeon was bigger than they had imagined, like a beehive of countless identical but different bridges, corridors, platforms, and staircases, forming a vast and incredible geometric labyrinth.

If there were no pathfinders, there would be no way out of such a maze if anyone came in.

There were still many unknown traps on the way, and they had already seen many triggered traps along the way, a huge guillotine that split some of the treasure hunt rats they had released, and many dark arrows that shot all over the wall.

If this dungeon has really been established for more than 3,000 years as Tony said, it is incredible that these institutions can still be effective after so many years.

There are a lot of murals and texts on the way, and Gallant really wants to know the meaning of these words, and maybe he can understand what kind of civilization existed thousands of years ago.

"Shhh

Suddenly, as he was thinking, a strange voice sounded in his ears, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the wall on one side, but the black shadow was caught by Tony when he was still some distance away from Gallant.

The shadow bit down on Tony's handarmour, but how could Mithril's handarmor be something like this.

Gallant came back to his senses, only to realize that it was a cobra.

They turned their heads to look at the corridor, and as the glowing fruit gradually brought light, the various poisonous snakes on both sides of the corridor gradually revealed their bodies.

Densely intertwined with poisonous snakes that could poison the lion and tiger blocked their path, and their hissing made the scalps of the people behind them tingle.

If you look closely, you will see that many pathfinders have been caught by these snakes.

"Don't take it lightly, I can't save the lives of any of you." Tony reminded.

"Thank you." Gallant said gratefully.

But then, he looked at the poisonous snakes and said puzzledly, "How have these snakes survived for so many years?" ”

"It means it's not airtight." Tony said calmly, "Maybe it'...... We're not the only ones here who have come in and lived......"

He led the group down another corridor.

"Let's go, let's go the other way."

Gallant came back to his senses and hurriedly followed behind Tony, followed by the rest of the group.

Strange to say, as they went deeper, the corridors became wider and larger, like the corridors of the palace, guarded by many round stone pillars and statues.

Soon, they entered a particularly spacious room, about a few hundred square meters, where many sarcophagi were neatly placed, it seemed to be a group of tombs, but I don't know who the owner of the tomb was buried, and the number was very large.

The faint smell of spices wafted through the air, indicating that there were quite a few mummies here.

Some of the people behind Gallant finally had a little excitement in their eyes when they saw these sarcophagi with coffin lids.

The reason why they followed Gallant to this Egypt where birds don't poop was to find the treasure here.

But they have been looking for so long and have found nothing, and they have long been a little impatient, and now they finally see some hope.

Some people stepped forward and tried to push open the lid in one of the sarcophagi.

Seeing this, Gallant's face changed, "Wait, don't move!" ”

But it was too late.

"Wow!" With a birdsong.

A large bird of about one meter suddenly flew down from the ceiling, rushed directly at the man, and bit him on the neck.

"Ahhhhh!!!h

The man wailed in pain, and kept flapping the bird to get it off of him.

But the next second.

"Flutter!!"

Blood burst out, his throat was bitten directly, countless blood was sprinkled on the ground, and the heavy smell of blood permeated the space.

It was no ordinary bird, it had a human head on it, but its eyes were full of cruelty and blood, grinning at the corners of its mouth, revealing sharp teeth full of blood.

After killing the man, the strange bird directly leaned down and devoured the corpse, the blood quickly spreading around, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

Tony frowned slightly, but not much sadness.

Before entering, Tony had warned the men of the danger of the dungeon, but even so, they still followed.

Greed makes them lose their minds.

He doesn't mind if these people who are called explorers and are actually tomb robbers die or not.

What's more, this is their own death, and it has nothing to do with him.

Galant reacted, and was about to raise his wand and shoot at the monster.

But he was stopped by Tony.

He raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling, and everyone slowly raised their heads, this hall was very high, about ten meters, almost five or six stories high, so the light of the fluorescent fruit could not be touched.

But with the light of the fluorescent fruit, you can still see something.

Countless human-faced birds like this hung upside down from the ceiling, their scarlet eyes silently watching everything on the ground......

Gallant's scalp was numb, his hair stood on end, and he didn't dare to gasp.

"Now, we're slowly withdrawing." Tony lowered his voice.

Gallant nodded.

He turned his head and motioned for the rest of the people behind him to retreat, and at the moment of life and death, they didn't dare to make too many moves, they all retreated towards the room little by little, not daring to say a word.

Suddenly, the human-faced bird that was lying on the ground eating the corpse seemed to have discovered something, and looked up at Tony and the others.

They stopped, breathing almost to a halt, but the human-faced bird didn't seem to entangle them, and flapped its wings again and flew up to the roof.

The group breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow!"

A shrill and loud chirp echoed throughout the burial chamber.

A moment later, one eagle chirp after another, the chirping seemed to wake up all the human-faced birds sleeping on the ceiling.

The cacophony and cacophony of countless people scratching the blackboard with their fingernails pierced and permeated, and with the sound of wings flapping, Tony's voice was heard with it.

"Running !!"

There was almost no hesitation, and everyone took a step at that moment, turned around and ran.

Move the castle in the courtyard.

Char was lying on the chaise longue, and the magic projection in front of him was playing what was happening in the dungeon.

Alicia was sitting on a chair behind Char, peeling an orange, peeling off the peel and tearing off a piece of flesh that went straight to Char's mouth.

Alicia looked up at the human-faced monsters and frowned, "What are these things?" ”

"You'll find out later." Char looked at the people on the screen who were being chased by the human-faced birds and whispered, "In a sense, this is all the bitter fruit of these Europeans themselves. ”

Alicia didn't ask any more questions, but reached out and gently rubbed her fingers against his cheek, "Did you let this group in just to find that jade record?" ”

"Or else?"

"I have a feeling you have the rest of your purpose." Alicia said.

Char smiled helplessly, "Sometimes you understand me too well, Alicia.

There are little secrets in life that are interesting, aren't they? ”

Alicia didn't speak, just waited quietly for his answer.

Char raised his hand, and a map appeared in front of them, it was a map of the world, and it was drawn very clearly, and the borders of all countries, disputed borders, were drawn on the map.

Britannia and Beichen stand out on the map.

"What do you see?" Char asked.

"Maps?" Alicia frowned.

"And I see the future." Char stared at the map in front of him and whispered, "Britannia occupies all of North America, and Beichen occupies most of Asia.

It is almost certain that in the future, the world will be dominated by these two countries. ”

"Isn't that bad?" Alicia asked.

Char shook his head, "It depends on what position you stand on, and if you stand on Britannia's side, it's naturally good."

But if you stand in the shoes of human civilization as a whole, it's not the same.

The world has become polar, but there is no room for a second tiger on a mountain, and an iron curtain will divide the world in two in the future.

The civilizations of the East and the West will face off fiercely in the future, perhaps the most brutal war, or the technological and economic competition, until one side decides the winner.

The victor will draw nourishment from the corpse of the loser to strengthen itself, and the world will turn from bipolar to unipolar and become a superpower.

As a result of the establishment of the absolute preponderance of this country, the long-standing struggle for leadership in the international system, which has led to world conflicts, will no longer exist.

Bringing about a kind of "stability and peace under the dominance of unipolar forces" in the world

The more prominent and powerful this force is, the more stable and peaceful the international order under its dominance.

However, under the influence of unilateral hegemony, it will cause instability in some regions and terrorism will become more and more rampant.

There will be many countries oppressed by it.

From the point of view of the state, if there is no enemy from the outside, then the enemy will naturally emerge from the inside, and absolute hegemony will lead to the abuse and corruption of power, thus disintegrating itself.

Therefore, the unipolar world only allows the world to be temporarily peaceful and stable, but it cannot be stable for a long time, and it is very harmful.

Better yet, it should be the pattern of a multipolar world.

In this way, the world will form a relationship of mutual reliance and mutual checks and balances, which will help avoid the outbreak of a new world war. ”

"That's not right, right?" Alicia frowned, "Any powerful country has the desire to expand its territory, even if such a multipolar world really exists, it is impossible to stop the war, on the contrary, there will be more conflicts, right?" ”

"What if in the future world, there is one more weapon that is powerful enough to destroy a city, powerful enough to make all nations throw rats?

Moreover, this weapon is possessed by the countries of these multipolar worlds. ”

Alicia fell silent.

"In this case, the cost of war will be expanded." Char said.

"Economic warfare will become the norm in the future, and then the existence of a multipolar world will be necessary.

It can curb hegemonism and power politics and promote the establishment of a truly just and rational new international order.

Many things will be obtained at the negotiating table, democratizing international politics.

Regional globalization of the economy will gradually provide the basis for a great unification in the long future. ”

"Of course, the great unification will be a long time in the future." Char said.

"Until a certain point emerges, a multipolar world will be superior to a unified world.

Although the unified world avoids internal friction to a certain extent, it can concentrate on doing great things.

However, as the saying goes, being born in sorrow and dying in peace is not reliable to rely solely on human consciousness.

And for a closed world, a unified world runs the risk of falling into the Tasmanian effect, which leads to the degradation of civilization. ”

Since the disintegration of that red world, the ugly country has gradually fallen into decline because of the lack of a strong opponent.

Once the first leader to land on the moon, at the moment he didn't even own his own space station, and he couldn't even go to the moon again, not to mention the decay inside it.

"What is the Tasmanian effect?" Alicia asked.

"Tasmania is a small island in the southern hemisphere. It is separated from Nanchen by the 200-kilometre-wide Bass Strait.

When the Europeans discovered this group in 1624, they found that they were a fairly primitive race, covered in animal skins, without even the simplest animal skin clothes, unable to fish, engaged in the most basic hunting, and used the most crude stone tools.

However, according to scientific research, they were not so backward from the beginning, they had garment-making technology, advanced fishing and hunting techniques, and many standard stone tools and bone tools, such as bone needles for sewing clothes.

In an isolated environment, humans will close off their creative abilities, and in this environment, people will slowly lose their past technology, and even lead to the regression of civilization. ”

Alicia nodded, looking at the map in front of her and said, "So, you're going to come here to find one of them?" ”

"To be exact."

Char's eyes flickered.

"I'm ready to revive a civilization."
