This was a legend that was not very old for this creature.
This creature referred to the new creature that Lin found here – flying bricks.
They had lived here for a long time.
Just like most creatures who tried their best to survive in the apocalypse, they all yearned for the prosperous past before the apocalypse.
They were not in the shape of bricks in the past, but more like bats. Anyway, they used to have a civilization.
Their civilization had a lot of 'mainstream activities', and these sports were held on a large scale around the world.
Among these activities, there was one that was the most popular, and that was … model sculpting.
The flying brick species regarded carving as a … religion. Their civilization had given birth to countless craftsmen. These craftsmen would constantly produce many exquisite works and conduct large-scale exhibitions. Countless awards were given for carving. Every cub would be taught to become a great carver as soon as they were born. Even if they didn't succeed, they would still worship the carvers.
The entire civilization loved sculpting to a very … crazy point.
And this seemed to be the reason for their … destruction.
Because somewhere between them, they had excavated a … strange machine.
This flying brick was an archaeologist. Its job was to excavate, but like most flying bricks, it always wanted to be a great sculptor.
And this machine … realized its dream.
This machine was covered with a lot of dust, and the archaeologist was surprised to find that the dust was actually … some fine sculpting, and all of them were produced by the machine.
This machine could make a perfect sculpting model. Its technical level was far better than all the sculptors in their civilization.
After all, it even sculpted the internal organs … and the flying bricks of the entire civilization had never thought of sculpting the internal organs.
Of course, the external details were also unparalleled, which made them very shocked.
They thought it was a product of alien technology. After careful investigation and finding that it was not a threat, the archaeologist changed his profession and became a sculptor.
Of course, it did not sculpt by itself, but used machinery to help it.
At first, the models were very small, but very beautiful. Later, it found a way to let machinery make larger models.
Using machinery, it participated in various competitions, won countless awards, and earned more than its original profession could earn in several lifetimes.
However, at some point, it found that … the machinery had changed.
At first, it was a metal machine, and then it slowly became … what Lin saw in the model sand.
That was, a crystal-like shape.
This came as a shock to the scientist, but he also found that the mechanical model building was much more efficient.
So it opened a … company and began to mass produce all kinds of exquisite models. Later, it also tried to make machines to build many things, such as houses and facilities. In short, its industry soon covered the entire civilization.
Then the machine disappeared.
It didn't matter. After all, it could produce other substitutes to continue the production. Of course, the products wouldn't be as exquisite as before.
Although they were curious about the disappearance of the machine and organized a search, they gave up when they couldn't find it.
Later on, it started to care.
Because one day, when it returned home, it found that its house had turned into a pile of dust.
A pile of dust made from tiny models.
The machine was gone.
But it still continued to make models … It continued to make models.
Then, the end of the world came.
Houses, streets, transportation, everything began to collapse and turn into exquisite miniature models.
The creature would not be turned into a model, but it could only watch as everything around it began to collapse.
This machine … was actually a manufacturing device. It was tens of meters in size, but its manufacturing speed was terrifying.
It was far faster than the manufacturing speed of hundreds of factories.
This meant that it could turn an entire city into dust in a short period of time, and it never stopped.
Lin didn't know whether it was a single device that was making model sand, or many devices working together to make model sand.
After all, the device disappeared at that time. It might have gone somewhere else, such as a tunnel, and contacted its own kind.
In short, with the archaeologist's home as the starting point, everything around it was rapidly collapsing.
In the end, the archaeologist … turned himself in.
Looking at the collapsing city, he confessed what had caused all this.
And so, the entire flying brick civilization began to try to find a way to stop it. Of course, no matter how hard they tried … they couldn't find the missing device.
But at that time, they did find something else.
That was the collecting device.
The first thing they noticed was … the monitoring system. There were many collecting devices that appeared in certain buildings.
They were usually in areas that were hard to notice, such as basements. When they appeared, they were constantly scraping off large amounts of debris from the walls and other places, and then putting it into the storage box of the body.
They felt that these strange things were related to the manufacturing device, so they began to capture and destroy them, but it was no use.
Later, they found that the collecting device would leave after the building collapsed into dust, so they tried to follow the collecting device … In the end, they found that some collecting device would follow some underground caverns to a very deep place, and pile up the debris it collected in one place.
The accumulated debris would soon … disappear into thin air.
So, the flying bricks finally thought of … a concept like teleportation.
They tried to put things like bombs in the places where the collecting device accumulated debris, and those bombs would also disappear.
But it was no use, and the collapse continued.
Later, the flying bricks slowly increased the power of the bombs, but there was no way to stop the powder and collapse.
In the end, when the entire civilization was about to collapse, they didn't care so much … They directly placed the most powerful bombs they could make in various' suspicious' places underground and detonated them.
This explosion finally stopped the manufacturing device from continuing to make models.
But it also destroyed more than 90% of their city.
The flying bricks that crawled out of the ruins still preserved a lot of … key technology and resources. And after investigating, they found that the manufacturing device indeed didn't continue to make models with buildings.
So, they thought … that it would only take time to restore the glory of the past.
But in fact, that wasn't the case.
Because they found … that although the manufacturing device didn't continue to make their buildings, it used other things to continue to make models.
