Chapter 1229 From Prosperity to Fall

8days ago Celebrity fiction 15
The sun and the moon continue to change.

Jiang Chen noticed that the monuments collapsed under the years, and the walls guarding the monuments were destroyed in the war. However, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the fire of prosperity still grew tenaciously and was launched in the bloody and barbaric dark age.

At this moment, the light ball that had been silent for a long time shook gently and then spoke.

I noticed that in your memory, the matriarchal society of your civilization existed for a short time, but in our civilization, the matriarchal society did not appear faintly until the late Renaissance.However, it took us 20,000 years to move from the bloody and barbaric dark age to the Renaissance.

Twenty thousand years!

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched.

It took 20,000 years to transition from the Dark Age to the Renaissance... This was almost longer than the time when human civilization itself existed.

You may be surprised that 20,000 years is too long for any living creature, but this is related to our living habits and there is nothing to say in detail.There is nothing to see above, it’s time to take you to the ground to see.said the light ball.

The picture gradually changed.

Jiang Chen watched the soil dissolved and the gravel collapsed downwards. He watched himself sink to the ground, crossing tens of thousands of meters away, and stood in an underground nest in a blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, he thought this place must be full of messy holes that can suffocate to death, but he did not expect that it would appear in front of him that a hall paved with neat stone bricks.

Neat, solemn, and sacred, every brick and tile is full of civilization and special aesthetics.

The market, residence, military camp, and all functional facilities are connected by tunnels to the central hall. They unfold around the mother nest like stars and moons, forming a three-dimensional city.

He didn't know where every tunnel led, nor what each Gaia was doing, but judging from their busy pace, it was not difficult to feel the breath of prosperity.

Whether it was workers, miners, breeders, soldiers, or civilians, they received the same power after the Revolution, and they were fairly entitled to all powers from private assets to mating.The matriarchal society came to an end, and the feudal system surrounding the mother insects eventually collapsed in the flames of the industrial revolution.

We used steel and oil to create siege beasts. They were able to rush underground, and all fortifications became futile. Even the devil worms were like earthworms in front of them, and the cavalry completely withdrew from the stage of history.War has returned to the savage three-dimensional era. We have begun to learn to arm ourselves with machines, replace the weak parts of our bodies that are convenient for evolution, and at the same time destroy our enemies in the most efficient way.

Although barbarism has not changed, in this era, any Gaia has the same power and the concept of equality is deeply rooted in people's hearts.We write all this in our words into the code... If you came to me a billion years ago, you might have seen that stone tablet, but now, nothing is left...

And the end of all this is the beginning of prosperity.

The mechanical centipede on the stirring earth disappeared, the walls of the hall collapsed backwards, and thousands of spiral buildings like works of art spring like mushrooms after a rain, winding up in the darkness, stretching its branches and leaves several kilometers deep underground, like the skyscrapers of human civilization...

At this moment, Jiang Chen finally understood what he had discovered at the 071 mine.

All the stalemma collapsed with the centralized society with the mother's core, and replaced by a larger and greater empire.

They completed the unification and connected all cities into one whole with railways and tunnels.

Tens of thousands of years of ignorance have passed, and the Gaia civilization ushered in a prosperous and powerful golden age.

It was incredible... Through the gravel and gravel, Jiang Chen stared blankly at the spiral high building with a crowd of black people.

I understand your surprise, probably the same as when I saw you appear in front of me.Light ball said softly, if the Great Revolution shattered the old ideas, then the great unification after the Industrial Revolution completely brought our civilization into a golden age of prosperity.But this is not the best. The truly best era is a thousand years later, after we invented the neural amplification device.

The nerve device makes the tentacles on our heads stronger, and our ‘sounds’ can be transmitted to farther places.If you find it difficult to understand, you can compare what it means to us to your Internet.

Jiang Chen nodded.

He could understand it after saying this.

After all, he doesn't have things like tentacles, and he doesn't know how to turn his thoughts into electromagnetic waves and emit them.

And what Gaia mentioned about the Golden Age is probably equivalent to the Internet Age that Earth civilization entered at the end of the 20th century.

The significance of the nerve amplification device to Gaia is probably equivalent to the Phantom Helmet to humans.

All needs can be met in virtuality, and all individuals are unprecedentedly happy.

If I want to summarize the differences between our two civilizations, a person who has been dead for 3.7 billion years, I think it is probably my understanding of the word happiness.When we entered the 'Neurogenic Age', our spiritual needs were unprecedentedly satisfied, and the only thing that was not satisfied was probably the obsession with metal itself.

I remember saying that we are extremely sensitive to minerals’ sense of smell.This sensitivity has not changed in tens of thousands of years, and we are immersed in the happiness surrounded by metal.The pursuit of all metals such as iron ore, or greed, is probably the driving force for our civilization to move forward.

And this greed turned into a deadly poisonous wine in the end.

Speaking of this, the sound of the light ball is filled with emotion.

Poisonous wine?Jiang Chen asked.

That's right.The light ball shook gently, I'll take you to take a look and you'll understand.

The picture changed again after thousands of years.

Ripples appeared in the air. Following the footsteps of the light ball, Jiang Chen stepped over a transparent film and came to a spherical space made of metal.

In this spherical space, strange-shaped machines are distributed in three-dimensionally, connected together by alloy skeletons.

Just watching, you may not feel it.The light ball said softly, we are now standing on the core of Mars, and this planetary furnace is the greatest crystallization of our civilization.

Planet...the furnace?

Jiang Chen swallowed with difficulty.

He could not imagine that these species called Gaia actually dug through the entire planet 3.7 billion years ago!

It even transformed the entire Mars core into a furnace for smelting iron or smelting other alloys, turning the entire planet into their factory.

Planetary furnace.

The word madness is no longer enough to describe their behavior...

Looking at the shock on Jiang Chen's face calmly, the light ball continued.

Our industry is extremely developed.The local crust cannot satisfy our appetite. We dug the mine into the mantle circle, and the mantle is not enough to meet our needs. We set our sights on the core.The core of the earth is rich in minerals, and the iron element is like an ocean here. Even if we only draw a little from it, it is enough to take our civilization forward a big step...

Speaking of this, the light ball paused and sighed softly.

But you also know that once something takes the first step, it will never stop.

Time weathered everything, blowing all the steel we forged for hundreds of centuries into iron filings.Have you seen the sand outside?Every rusty gravel is the tears shed by Gaia...
