After Chu Lin and Kathlyn flew into the sky, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.
As far as the eye could see, there were endless buildings.
And there were only buildings.
The mountains were flattened, the sinkholes were filled, and countless buildings were uniformly spread all over the land. Nothing else could be seen.
In terms of area alone.
Even the super cities in Su Yao's world that could accommodate hundreds of millions of people couldn't be compared to the "city" in front of them.
It was like the sea, as if the whole world was like this.
It wasn't until they flew very, very high that they could even vaguely see the arc of the earth that they found something different.
But it was also a building.
It was just that it was not the same as the building in the center.
There was an endless roar, and the sound of machines running filled the whole world. Aircraft of different sizes and types flew around these buildings, and they could even see some damaged and fallen aircraft being dragged into some buildings.
After observing for a while, Chu Lin and Kathlyn could also understand.
This was a production base.
Or an industrial area.
It was dedicated to the production of automated machinery. Here, it was also part of the "system" in the entire real world.
"It's amazing." Chu Lin whispered with slight admiration, "From the collection of raw materials to the manufacturing of finished products, everything has achieved complete automation. Even after no one managed it for such a long time, it is still operating. This technology alone, to some extent, is close to the level of 'completely liberating productivity'."
Chu Lin also participated in the 20-year war with Louis with Shen Yi, so he had quite a lot of insight.
He could naturally see it.
Everything in front of him was the primary mode of the "Robot Army Explosion".
Completely automated production also meant the possibility of self-increment.
The only thing left to completely liberate productivity was the collection of resources, and this should have been an easier direction. They only needed to step into the vast universe, where there were countless resources.
However, a civilization with this level of technology had stopped developing and would forever fall at this step.
Chu Lin's heart surged with strong regret.
It was like someone easily abandoned the treasure they longed for.
Moreover, he also quickly noticed.
Not every building was emitting mechanical roars. There were also many that were in a state of "complete stop". Some even looked like they had been abandoned for a long time and were extremely dilapidated.
This was aging.
It was apparent that the system of this world hadn't reached the stage where it could maintain itself endlessly. Perhaps when the humans created this system, they thought that it would continue to operate forever. But now, it had given the result. And this result brought about the destruction of all humans and the destruction of this dream-like blissful world.
Chu Lin calmed himself down. He still remembered his mission.
He continued to check.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
There were no longer any animals or plants in the world. The ecosystem could be said to have been completely destroyed. However, the climate remained calm.
Because humans had created substitutes.
They used huge oxygen generators to replace the role of plants, achieving perfect control of the gas composition in the atmosphere, forever escaping the climate crisis caused by the greenhouse effect. They even used countless huge machines to control the water cycle, avoiding the occurrence of extreme weather such as storms. They even buried huge shock absorbers in the ground to minimize the destruction caused by the movement of the tectonic plates …
In the end, Chu Lin was shocked to the point of numbness.
Even Su Yao's civilization didn't have the technology to transform the entire planet on a large scale. Even from these astonishing projects, one could see the glory of this civilization.
This was a civilization that was extremely outstanding in terms of technological development, productivity, organization, and action.
Without powerful external forces, this kind of human civilization shouldn't have been completely destroyed.
However … it was still destroyed.
And it was destroyed by its own choice.
At the beginning, Chu Lin would have hesitated between the beautiful and blissful virtual reality or the cruel real world. But now, he no longer hesitated.
He even felt that virtual reality was a trap for human civilization. It looked beautiful and blissful, but it could easily lead to despair.
Chu Lin and Catherine returned to Shen Yi's side.
"The original ecological environment of this world has been destroyed by humans, but they have rebuilt a stable ecological environment. However, the new ecological environment is built on the artificial system of the entire world. As the system is gradually aging, the ecological environment is also beginning to become unstable …"
Chu Lin and Catherine each described the information they obtained after their investigation. There was not much difference between them.
It was impossible to determine a winner in this segment.
However, the two of them didn't have a strong desire to win. They were shocked by the technological level of this civilization, shocked by their past prosperity and power, and even more shocked by their destruction.
Everyone in the God Kingdom was the same.
An indescribable feeling reverberated in everyone's heart.
"Civilization is not as powerful as you think. It's very fragile." Shen Yi seemed to have seen through everyone's thoughts. He just smiled and said slowly, "Whether it's strong or weak, civilization is always vulnerable to destruction for various reasons. Sometimes it's because of natural disasters, sometimes it's because of man-made disasters, sometimes it's because of foreign enemies, and sometimes it's just because it took the wrong path. It's because civilization is so fragile that it needs the existence of Pan-Humanist Guardians, isn't it?"
"That's right!"
Chu Lin was the first to regain his senses. He looked at Shen Yi, and his originally lifeless eyes shone with an even brighter light than before.
He clenched his fists and said,
"We may not be able to stop it from happening, but we can change the results! Just like how you saved my world, no matter how fragile civilization is, the glory of human beings will last forever! "
Catherine, who was beside him, also seemed to have adjusted.
The smile on Shen Yi's face widened.
"Instead of regretting that they took the wrong path, it's better to find a way to save them. This is our mission. Okay, let's go and see how the humans of this civilization are doing now."
The exploration of the real world was completed.
The next step was to go to the virtual world.
