In the beginning, the Sea Star heard that the Insectoids were terrified and fled.
Later, the Amonians were afraid of the pyramid and had no choice but to flee.
To be precise, the latter was earlier than the former, and the two were somewhat of a father and son civilization.
This could be considered to be of the same origin. One didn't treat this place as his home at all, so of course he would run. The other forgot that Earth was his home, so he ran away as well.
It made it seem like Earth was very dangerous. Nowadays, all kinds of movies and TV series liked to say that aliens would invade Earth, but the truth seemed to be the opposite.
Lan Mu remembered all the history of mankind in his mind. Although it was dead information, he was more knowledgeable than most historians.
Compared with the records in the Book of Yun Sui Yue, the origin of human civilization had been affected so much that it made his scalp tingle.
Perhaps Earth had been affected in one way or another, but in the end, it still developed tenaciously.
Earth, Earth, the higher Lan Mu stood, the more he knew, and the bigger the mystery in his heart.
For example, dragon culture. Long before the birth of civilization, the worship of dragons had already appeared in the East. Various cultural sites excavated in Huaxia showed that dragon worship had a history of at least eight thousand to ten thousand years.
And in addition to the East, there were also ancient American natives who worshipped dragons. They also worshipped dragons in a way that was close to dragon worship.
In addition, America was the only place that had not been affected by Egyptian culture. The Egyptians did not discover the New World at all, and their exploration stopped at the coast of Huaxia.
Even the ancient Egyptian civilization, which was protected by aliens and led the world in ancient times, had a protective god with a hawk's body and a snake's tail. Although it had some influence on Huaxia, it was still called the Winged Dragon.
It was as if if you didn't have anything to do with dragons, you wouldn't be powerful …
Another example was the anomalies. Without mentioning anything else, just the Pyramid of Doom was too powerful. Its existence was a bit like protecting Earth, or maintaining a kind of order.
It had existed for many years, and no one knew when it began. Anyway, when the Amonians came, it existed silently. It was unreasonable. A creature like Apophis was strong enough to be called a demon god, which showed how powerful that monster was, at least much more powerful than the monsters in the parallel world.
Lan Mu estimated that the flood was also extremely terrifying, otherwise, with the Amonese's technology, it would not have taken them a hundred years to completely subside. Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that they were deliberately delaying it like him.
According to Yun Shinian's book, the existence of the pyramid had completely subverted their scientific view. They had studied it for a hundred years, and the final result was only one word: unscientific.
Lan Mu was also considered a top scientist, and he could understand how desperate the Amonians were at that time.
A powerful technological civilization had discovered an artifact that was obviously man-made on a backward planet, but they could only see it without any scientific reaction. There was no way to measure it, and even after a hundred years, they still hadn't made any progress. They couldn't understand how that artifact had caused the two Apocalypses. One could imagine how big of a blow this was to a research team, and how helpless they were to give up and leave in the end.
In fact, the ancient Egyptians were even more pitiful. They thought that the pyramids were a test left for them by the Amonians, and that as long as they were built, the gods would return.
This self-deceiving idea had plagued ancient Egypt for thousands of years and wasted too much time.
Little did they know that this was also a problem that troubled the Amonians. It was a mysterious existence native to Earth, and the pyramids that they had imitated for generations were not the product of the gods at all.
Yun Shinian said: "… At that time, everyone voted and finally decided to leave this planet because we found that Earth was too special. Every living planet is a miracle of nature, but Earth is too miraculous, so miraculous that it was difficult for us to accept.
"We have some thoughts about Earth to tell you, consider it a reminder."
Lan Mu asked: "What is it?"
"First of all, Earth's birth history is much older than our home planet, a full 4.6 billion years old! It is already middle-aged … "Yun Shinian said.
Lan Mu was stunned and said: "Isn't that normal? There are many planets around here that are older than us. How young is your home planet? "
Yun Shinian said: "Don't compare it with the wild planets. Some planets are even more than ten billion years old, which is completely meaningless. Our home planet has been born for 3.3 billion years, the Amonians have been born for six million years, and the history of civilization is 150,000 years old. In my records, there are a total of six living planets, three of which have given birth to intelligent life. Their home planets are 3.5 billion years old, 3.7 billion years old, and 3.8 billion years old respectively. As a planet that can give birth to intelligent life, it took 4.6 billion years for an intelligent race to appear, which is very rare in our records. "
"Your existence has broken one of our previous cognitive misconceptions, which is that the age of a living planet is a reference for the length of the history of civilization on that planet."
"If before we came here, someone told us that there was a planet that gave birth to an intelligent race in this galaxy, and that the planet was 4.6 billion years old, then we would definitely not dare to come. Because we would think that the intelligent race must have developed a god-level civilization that was beyond our imagination. After all, Earth is 1.3 billion years older than our home planet! This time span is enough to scare away many civilizations on young planets. "
Lan Mu was speechless. "What do you mean by saying all this?"
He understood what Yun Shinian meant. Earth was obviously the oldest planet, and planets that were born later than them had already given birth to intelligent life. It was like a mother, who gave birth in her forties while others gave birth in their twenties or thirties …
Yun Shinian said: "There are only two possibilities. First, your planet originally would not have given birth to intelligent life, but it was born because of external interference. This kind of thing can be done technically, especially on a living planet. As long as the genes of a certain creature are affected, it can develop mature intelligence. "
"As for the second possibility … you are not the first generation of intelligent life."
Lan Mu was stunned. He had heard this countless times, but there had been no direct evidence. Now that the alien had personally voiced this suspicion, Lan Mu's heart pounded.
"Are you saying that we have a prehistoric civilization?"
Unexpectedly, Yun Shinian said: "No, I didn't say that."
"Don't confuse the concept of an intelligent race and a civilization. Many intelligent races may not give birth to a civilization. Remember, entering the civilization stage is the first obstacle for an intelligent race to continue, and entering space is the second obstacle for a race to continue. "
"If an intelligent race does not enter the civilization stage, how is that different from having no intelligence? Also, if it does not enter the civilization stage, it is almost impossible to leave behind any ruins, and there is no evidence to prove that it was once an intelligent race. "
"If you are not the first generation of intelligent life, then it can explain why your civilization is so young. It is not rare for an intelligent race to die prematurely. It is possible that your planet gave birth to an intelligent race in the past, but it was destroyed by external interference or some other accident. "
Lan Mu asked, "Is the second possibility the most likely?"
"Yes … No one knows how many intelligent life forms disappeared on Earth before humans appeared," Yun Shinian said. "Usually, a planet's tectonic plates will stabilize within five to one billion years of birth. If life appears on this planet, it will be born within one to one billion and a half billion years. In the first two billion years, the climate might keep changing, and a batch of life forms might die, but the remaining life forms will keep adapting and developing rapidly. After that, intelligent life forms will appear in 2.5 to 3.9 billion years. As long as there is no external interference during this period, then this race will definitely have mature intelligence. This is one of the basic conditions for a civilization. "
Lan Mu asked, "One of the basic conditions? What other basic conditions? "
Yun Shinian said, "Weak … This is not common knowledge. We are also working hard to prove that it is one of the basic conditions."
"Weak? Weakness is one of the basic conditions for the birth of a civilization? Why don't I understand? "Lan Mu was shocked.
Yun Shinian explained, "This is just a guess. The weakness here refers to the physical aspect. After all, the enemy of intelligent life forms is nature. Their continuation is an epic of fighting against nature. It is a long road for intelligent life forms to enter civilization. They have to go through many small stages and rise from nothing. Under this principle, if an intelligent life form is already at the top of the food chain, then why do they need to build a civilization? They don't need a civilization at all. Their race represents everything … "
Lan Mu understood. When a race stands at the top of cognition, they will not have the desire to explore the wider world.
However, there was a problem with this statement, and that was how to define a civilization.
Sure enough, Yun Shinian said, "Of course, this condition only applies to our definition of civilization. It does not represent the universal consensus. If a group of powerful intelligent life forms united together is considered a civilization, then this condition can be abolished. "
Lan Mu understood that all the cognition in the universe was actually defined by intelligent life forms themselves. There was nothing absolute in this. For a civilization with a narrow definition, weakness may be a basic condition.
But what about the Zergs? Were they considered a civilization?
At this time, Lan Mu suddenly remembered the broadcast of the Silver Heart civilization. When Zhuo Yue told him the content of the broadcast, he did not feel much.
But now, he finally understood what the Silver Heart civilization meant. "The Zergs … are the enemy of all civilizations!"
Obviously, the Silver Heart civilization's definition of civilization was the same as the Amon civilization, and so was Earth.
The Zergs were an exception. Were they not a powerful intelligent life form united together?
The stages that the Silver Heart, Amon, and Earth civilizations went through were similar. Perhaps their life forms were different, their cultures were different, their living environments were different, and their values were completely different. But they definitely went through the path of establishing civilization, global integration, and the interstellar era.
For them, were the Zergs not the enemy of civilization?
The Zergs were too uncivilized.
