This is Mars more than 3 billion years ago.
Standing in the wind, looking at the endless wilderness, Jiang Chen was a little confused for a moment.
At this moment, the light ball floating beside him continued to speak.
Have you seen those rooms?
After sorting out the messy thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chen reluctantly nodded.
See it.
There were originally piles of artworks and priceless antiques, which recorded our civilization for tens of thousands of years.When the end of the world comes, we have tried everything to leave something in this cold universe, but as you can see, nothing is eternal in the face of time.
It seemed that he was remembering something, and the light ball was silent for a long time and did not speak again.
What should I call you?Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
We do not need voice communication. If you follow your language, you can call us Gaia civilization.said the light ball.
Gaia?
In Greek mythology, the mother of the gods, is the respected and prominent god among all the gods. She is the first primitive god born in chaos and is worshipped as one of the primitive natural forces that create life.
As for why he selected this word from the earth civilization to name his civilization, perhaps only he himself knew...
OK, Gaia?I'll call you Gaia.Jiang Chen turned his face sideways, looked at the light ball and asked, "So Gaia, what are you going to do to me?"
However, Gaia did not answer his question, but said softly.
Shhh, it's about to start.
Just as it finished speaking, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed that two strange monsters appeared at about fifty meters in front of him.
The reason he called it a monster is that he had never seen such an ugly insect before.
One was the size of a calf, carrying rows of carapaces on its back, countless long feet shaking on its abdomen, and its swinging tail was like chains, whistling in the air with thundering sounds.
The sharp front teeth were like two pairs of sickles, and hundreds of steel teeth in their mouths were like needles, roaring with sharp and bloodthirsty roars.
The other end is also the size of a tiger and leopard. Two pairs of antennas shaking above the head, shaped like large ants, but there are more strong front feet than the ants, and the front half of the body has left the ground and stood up.
Two spears made of unknown things pointed at the centipede-like beast from afar.
Suddenly, the grass next to it moved.
The soil was arched, and five ants lying in ambush suddenly emerged and threw the short spear in their hand towards the centipede.
It can weigh thirty times the weight of my body. The short hairs are like cannonballs, nailing through the centipede's armor, and green blood spilling the earth.
The prey shook its chain-like tail and tried to escape from the ants. However, under the moderate attack of those ants, this struggle had become futile.
In a dusty fight.
The prey gradually lost its strength due to blood loss. The strong arthropods stepped forward, controlled the prey, and scraped off its soft belly with sharp ore...
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked.
Those are Gaia...
Yes.The ball of light shook up and down, and those hunters holding spears were Gaia.And the beast armed to the teeth is one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, and its bite force is about five times that of the dead claws.
Do you still know the Dead Claw?
I said, I have seen your memory... Please don’t be nervous, you and me are standing here.And I am just a memory myself.Seeing the fear in Jiang Chen's eyes, the light ball whispered.
Due to many reasons such as gravity and environment, the mammals on this planet are very weak. They are short and have fragile bones, which makes us unable to attract hunting.This planet used to be the world of arthropods.All resources such as groundwater, minerals, and energy are also buried underground that can only be reached by those who are good at digging.
Jiang Chen unexpectedly glanced at the light ball.
He was not surprised that the Mars it depicted more than 3 billion years ago was actually an insect world, but that Amos actually guessed all this with his imagination.
We learned to use tools and finally stood at the top of the food chain.Even the most dangerous and bloodthirsty devil worms fell under our spears.
And our civilization began from this day.
We dug our own Great Wall underground, consolidated our caves with granite, made armor with the hard shells of prey, tied the limbs and sharp stones into spears.The cubs of devil bugs are the most delicious food. We build our own pastures underground, cultivate mushrooms and other fungi, and develop our own civilization...
The sun and the moon change above the head, and the grass and trees grow and wither under the feet.
Jiang Chen watched helplessly that the mountain was filled and the plain was dug out of the gullies. Gaia in steel armor emerged from the ground and charged towards another group of Gaia.
The devil worms were ridden by them, and there were other species he had never seen before, and they were also covered in iron armor and trampled on the enemy's position as war beasts.
The two teams collided, and green blood flew in the air.
Iron Age.The light ball whispered, our keen sense of minerals helped us find iron ore.When a prophet realized the technology of iron smelting, our civilization transitioned from the Stone Age to the most barbaric era of the Iron Age at its incredible speed.
The fighting gradually stopped. When the last Gaia pulled the spear out of his kind, he raised the blood-stained flag from the ground, shook the tentacles above his head, and inserted it into the ground with a fierce spear and flag.
We don't have vocal cords, but relatively speaking, our brains are extremely developed.We rely on tentacles to communicate, although most of the time, we rely on the spear in our hands.
All tribes revolve around female insects, and a tribe usually has only one female.Our tentacles are antennas, and our neural signals can be directly converted into electromagnetic waves. We have been standing on an invisible network since we were born, a network with a mother insect as the core.For similar people standing on different ‘signal bands’, our choice is usually war.Snatch the other party's cubs and livestock, kill the other party's mother insects, and occupy their nests.
Then the same fusion day after day repeats, the same division repeats...
The sun and the moon continue to change, and the original position of the spear and flag was inserted has been replaced by a stone tablet.
The battlefield where corpses were everywhere was covered with interlaced tunnels, and low buildings and walls were built.
Although we live underground, due to tradition and faith, almost all our wars are on the surface.
Even in the most difficult times, we are unwilling to live on the surface and have no interest in the sky. But monuments are an exception. We are keen to build tall monuments on the ground to commemorate the victory that once happened here.But that's all, we never stay on the surface for too long.
In a sense, it is this tradition or belief in the earth that restricted our alien galaxy exploration in the years that followed.But if we ask whether we regret our choices, our answer is no, and we never regret it...
