How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 573: Archeology on Soli

On Soli, in a deep well, a mine elevator is gradually descending its height. As the height drops, you can also hear the sound of gears gnashing from above the deep well. The illusion that the rope will break at any time.

However, the few people who took the elevator this time are quite special, and this small scene can only scare ordinary people...

Have you done a half-life measurement?

The collector asked in the language of the Carters, and the Carters who took the elevator together answered with a smile.

After we discovered it, we calculated it as soon as possible.

How long ago was it? asked another gatherer.

Probably... 800 to 900 million years ago. The Carter's tone was not very sure.

Can't be more precise?

Collectors are not very satisfied with the results of this measurement. Errors in accuracy generally lead to misjudgment of the results. Such problems were very common in the previous ethnic groups. In terms of scale measurement, they are also as precise as possible.

This is already our most advanced measuring instrument. Time has passed for too long, and many traces have been washed away by the long years.

The Carters were helpless, not because they didn't want to be more precise, but because they didn't have that kind of technology.

The other, a Carter who also took the mine elevator but hadn't said a word, asked the two collectors.

Uh... two, can you explain to us the information of this ultra-ancient civilization?

The two collectors glanced at each other. They came here precisely because the Carter archaeologist found them and hoped that they would participate in an archaeological excavation of an ultra-ancient civilization.

Originally, the collectors didn't intend to participate. They didn't have an unusual passion for archeology like their supreme will.

However, after seeing the text in one of the many photos given by the Carters, they changed their minds.

And the reaction was very intense, as if pouring water into sulfuric acid. They went directly through the government channels of the Carters, and the Carters were rigorous in excavating and archaeological remains of this ultra-ancient civilization.

The reaction of the collectors has been vaguely guessed by the Carters. The amoeba is aware of this ultra-ancient civilization. Some people even speculate that the amoeba once fought with this ultra-ancient civilization and destroyed it. Only then will there be such a reaction.

The questions asked by the Carter scholars are not only his personal problems, but also the questions of some archaeological academic groups among the Carter people.

We're still not sure if it's the civilization we know. We'll talk about it after we confirm the ancient relics at the excavation site. The collector responded flatly.

Understood, understood, science is rigorous, hehehe...

The politicians walking next to him were trying to smooth things over while wiping away cold sweat.

The well is very deep. After waiting for a while, the mine elevator reached the bottom. The light at the bottom is very well illuminated. Unlike the collectors, the Carters can change the spectral range of their visual acceptance. They can only see visible light in a fixed frequency range. band, and this demand has produced the technical product of 'light'.

Of course, the visible light band of the Carters and the visible light band of humans are two different things, and the definition ranges of the two sides are different. If there are humans present, they will rush to wear sunglasses, because the brightness of the light bulb is too dazzling.

A simple scan around the archaeological site, except for their group, there was no other person present, the site was cleaned up very clean, there were no piles of rubble, it should be that the Carter government knew that there were amoeba individuals Went there in person, and did it on purpose.

But their behavior like this is just throwing eyebrows to the blind. The collectors don't play this kind of false tricks, and they can't even understand this kind of behavior.

Eventually, the focus of the two collectors converged on the excavation location.

You only excavated this one? asked the gatherer.

Yes, after all, it is a long-standing ancient relic. Our current technology cannot excavate these items intact. Therefore, after the discovery, we stopped work urgently and did not excavate further.

The fellow politician answered the collector's question with a smile that he didn't know if he had froze.

Although the collector felt strange, he didn't think too much about it. He only thought that the Carter had some neurological disease, nodded in approval, and praised the Carter government's approach.

You are right. The most important thing in archaeological work is to protect the excavated objects during excavation.

Another collector has arrived at the excavation position. At that position, there is a fragment with two relatively clear geometric characters written on it.

After looking at it carefully for a while, the forager used the life field to inform his own kind.

I took a quick look, and it's true that they left it behind. The text on it is exactly the same as the text in the Book of Arrays.

After learning this piece of information, the collectors who were still talking to Carter politicians felt a burst of joy.

After a brief exchange of opinions with the same clan, he said to the politician, According to the agreement, your Carter civilization will receive material subsidies for ten years as a reward for your conscious protection of these ancient objects.

Thank you so much!

The politicians were overjoyed when they heard the words. With these material subsidies, it would not be a problem for the Carter civilization to recover in a short period of time. In contrast, the remains of an ultra-ancient civilization are nothing at all. Even if they have that kind of thought, they don’t have the ability It is better to focus on the present than to compete with amoebas.

However, the Carter scholar hadn't gotten his own answer yet. Seeing the politician's ecstatic look, he curled his lips in disdain and asked the two collectors solemnly.

According to the agreement between us, can you introduce to me this ultra-ancient civilization hundreds of millions of years ago?

The two collectors exchanged information with the life field again.

This Carter looks like Will...

Should I tell him?

Then satisfy him, because he is so similar to the will.

Um.

The collectors began to introduce the Qihui civilization to the Carter scholars, and the politicians who had not yet left could not help but prick up their ears to listen. After all, people are always curious. What is the origin of this ultra-ancient civilization is not only the Carter archaeologists. They care.

These ancient items are left over from a civilization that calls itself 'Hui'. We don't know much about them. We only know that when they still existed, they developed civilization to a very high level. This high-end The extent is far beyond the limit of your imagination.

How high is it?

Carter scholar asks, he needs a concrete concept to understand.

The collector thought about it, and described the concept of Hui civilization according to his own understanding.

...In your civilization, there is a game of shooting spheres around, and Hui civilization can pat black holes around like you play with spheres.

Are you kidding me?

The Carter scholars are not very able to accept the collector's metaphor. Even the Carters who don't understand astronomy will definitely know what a black hole is after experiencing the incident where the singularity erupted.

Such a terrifying thing, being used as a ball to play - this is already a god!

I'm stating the truth, you just can't understand it.

The collector shook his head, he had already said the words and given the concept, whether he believed it or not was a matter for the Carters themselves.

Then...the comparison between Hui Wenming and Amoeba is higher or lower? The politician beside him suddenly asked.

The collector took a deep look at the politician meaningfully. This question seemed to be asking Hui Wenming, but it was actually testing the amoeba's technical level.

Although the collectors are stupid, it doesn't mean that they won't be able to understand such a small routine because they are used to seeing big winds and waves.

They once traversed the sea of ​​stars, and they are the absolute rulers of the river system we are currently in, as well as many other river systems in the universe. We amoebas are not yet able to do this.

After the two Carters heard this description, they only felt that their brains were not enough.

How is such a powerful civilization doing now? the Carter politician asked excitedly.

If we can make friends with such a civilization, wouldn't the Carter civilization no longer have to worry about survival in the universe?

With this in mind, politicians dared to ask, even at the risk of offending the foragers.

And the collector's words extinguished the politician's ignited ambition in an instant.

Extinct.

Extinct? This is impossible. Even if it is the most terrifying astronomical disaster known, it is absolutely impossible to destroy a civilization of this level.

Politicians feel bad, very bad, if such a powerful civilization is destroyed, then this universe...

The facts are in front of us.

The gatherer pointed to the location of the archaeological dig with his tentacles.

The Carters, who were once on the verge of 'destruction of civilization', are very sensitive to this question. After recovering from the shock, the Carter scholars couldn't help asking.

But, there is always a reason, right? Have you investigated the reason? Even such a powerful civilization is destroyed, and one day the same disaster may be our turn.

The specific details are not clear. We only know that the Hui civilization died because of an experiment. The specific experiment is still under investigation. The collector replied.

Another collector also replied, We have long been aware of the issues you care about, and that's why they appear here.

After pondering for a while, the Carter scholar asked another question.

Since the Hui civilization appeared on this planet, is the birth of our Carters directly related to the Hui civilization? Or maybe we are a branch civilization derived from the Hui civilization.

Why do you care about this kind of problem?

Collectors feel that this question is very strange.

The implications for our civilized society are huge.

Carters are no more than collectors, they are more hypocritical, they will think about where I come from? Where are you going? What did you come into this world for? these philosophical questions.

Hui civilization is iron-based organisms, and you are carbon-based organisms, so branch civilizations are impossible, and the combination of the underlying gene chains is different. As for the birth of your Carters, it should have nothing to do with Hui civilization. It is unlikely. Even if there is, it can only be a relationship like Hui Civilization has created a stable ecological circle on Soli that is completely different from its own physiology, and this ecological circle has undergone hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and finally gave birth to you Carters. .”

However, there is no way to verify this, because too much time has passed. Even if there are traces of human modification in your genes, 800 million years is enough for these traces to disappear.
