Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

The four seasons begin to cycle from then on.

It was about [-] million years ago in the Ediacaran period, and the fossils of suspicious origins also withdrew from the stage of history with the disappearance of "bad things".

Then, the biological group named Ediacara by modern people has since jumped into the long river of evolution.

But they are not animals native to the earth, or only half of the earth's blood.

"The primitive animal group about [-] million years ago, the Ediacaran animals are different from most animals today. Human beings have not found any rules about them. Some of them have no head, tail, limbs, and no mouth and Digestive organs, nourished only in water. They were fashioned by the descendants . . . probably to practice new truths."

- Will the world get better?

Six hundred million years ago, the descendants did not know such things.

They have spent [-] million years in the solar system, which is much longer than the history of human existence.Most of the extraterrestrial creatures do not undergo iterations. They have extremely long lifespans, that is, they have really been thought about for [-] million years.

It was also an evening [-] million years ago, and they saw the distant starry sky once again coiled up a spiral that violated the laws of optics.So with their long lives and highly developed civilizations, they became nervous again.

The Descendants, who had been used to a long and stable life, fell into confusion and began to think about what was the most important thing.

"Are we going extinct?"

One of them asked.

"The calculation results are presented, the results are confident, and the probability is 98%."

The other body always answered in a straight line.

"It's okay, everyone, I found something interesting."

Finally, a young earth-born descendant spoke.

That is the enlightenment brought to them by the native species of the earth and their origin.

It brings these old and new descendants together under the cold ice cap, and beside the hydrothermal springs, to see the communities of bacteria that are constantly iterating.

"You see, we will go extinct, but they will survive, won't they? The way to make something eternal is not to prolong the life of an individual, but to establish a collective will. This collective will move on autonomously. It will not Keep self-reproduction, keep overcoming all kinds of difficulties..."

Everyone else stared at it blankly.

"Haven't we always dreamed of an automaton before? Didn't we always think of a robot that can mine by itself and then copy itself, and think that this robot can colonize the entire universe."

In modern human knowledge, humans are also trying to create this kind of machine that humans call von Neumann automata.

The characteristic of this kind of machine is that it will collect resources by itself to copy itself, even more powerful, and even improve its own functions, so it will grow exponentially, and will become more and more powerful.

For example, after dismantling an asteroid resource in one day, a self is copied.On the second day, two can be disassembled to create two selves, and on the third day, four can be dismantled to create four selves.As before... Even the universe can be conquered!

But so far, the descendants have not seen any civilization that can create such a machine, and naturally they have never practiced this theoretical growth.

"It's because we're all thinking the wrong way."

said the young descendant.

Its eyes were gray, making other descendants feel profound.

It says slowly:

"Actually...we, and these bacteria...isn't it just such a machine?"

It can replicate itself and reproduce continuously, so that it occupies the entire earth.

It can also evolve and produce different changes according to the environment. As long as the accumulated gene pool is large enough, there will always be people who can survive.

——Therefore, we are the greatest machines of existence!

It raised its arms and shouted.

"If you want to exist forever, you have to give up yourself! Get rid of the concept of 'star people'!"

In this way, the group of life can move endlessly by itself.

This is a crazy move.

But this is worth trying, not to mention that the descendants really need more biological weapons.

Zion walked past the mural of a descendant standing in front of all the descendants, and walked to the next one, which painted the endless achievements of many descendants.

"I don't know why they decided to create more lower life species, but the Ediacaran biota may be their failure to create."

Aya went on to tell the whole story.

"After the Ediacaran biota, perhaps the greatest and most incredible thing in the entire history of the earth has finally happened."

That was after the long snowball earth event, the unrepressed growth of the earth's creatures ushered in a great explosion, which is the famous...

"The Cambrian Explosion of Life."

Zion also knows this.

It was at that time that the soul of the earth was gradually taking shape.

Not only Earth's own, but also the intervention of the descendants.

The combination of the two forces created an unexplainable mystery in the history of biology this time, and made the first monster era of this monster planet officially kick off its grand and splendid curtain.

It's just that this era of monsters has far surpassed the imagination of those who descended, and they are unaware of the situation.

They also know too little.

"So..." Zion looked up, and a conjecture was ready to come out, "Did they finally create humans?"

On the hundredth painting, the descendants who have accumulated enough experience are showing their own figures on the water surface, and creating a brand new species according to their own appearance.

It is something similar to the ancestor ape, which is crawling in front of the descendants.

So Zion guessed so.

Aya had some reservations about it, and only said:

"It can only be said that they may have indeed created a human being."

If she guessed correctly, and the image fragment of Mitochondrial Eve, which is older than the descendants, is also correct...

"From the perspective of fossil evidence, the end point of the evolution of the species created by them using the materials of the earth is—"

3000 million years ago, super ancient humans.

As for the existing human beings, after the extinction of the descendants, under the watchful eye of the soul of the earth, the fragile creatures that happened to be fleeting in the evening of the evolutionary history.

It only appeared 300 million years ago, and the process of civilization began only 5000 years ago. It imitated the posture of outsiders, and the phenomenon of convergent evolution occurred, and passed on the beacon fire of the powerful human species that became extinct 3000 million years ago.

Until now, humans have been unable to reproduce and understand the time machine sent 3000 million years ago.

However, you must know that being strong or weak has nothing to do with survival, only the butcher knife of fate hangs above the head, and one's own will and choice will stand in front of the butcher knife of fate.

But heaven and earth are ruthless in the end, and treat everything as a straw dog.

The descendants are ultimately just passers-by in the history of the earth, and they have never even been able to see the dawn of the dinosaur age.

Chapter 28 The End of History

Convergent evolution, in biology, refers to the phenomenon that originally different species inhabit similar environments and evolve similar traits and forms in order to adapt to similar ecological niches.

For example, fish and dolphins are actually not related, but they look very similar at first glance, and indeed, they also have similar structural forms.

For human beings, the research on convergent evolution is still new after the 21st century.But in the history of life on earth, it has appeared countless times.

"Is there an incredible imitation somewhere?..." Aya's tone was filled with confusion, "There is no doubt that the super ancient humans and the existing humans are descendants of the ancient species of the earth. It is only possible that one of them One was favored by the descendants, and the other was not, a small mammal that grew up naturally. They tried to imitate the former, and finally the phenomenon of convergent evolution occurred."

The Retribution hangs above the Antarctic continent, and the Giant is under the Antarctic ice cap.

"This is my guess and interpretation, and it may not be true.

she says.

"But it can explain Mengmei and all the fossil evidence of human archaeology that I know so far."

No one experienced time 3000 million years ago.

What happened in the mysterious and super ancient times, of course no one knows.

"But no matter which one continues...it's actually the same."

She leaned against the robot girl, and the robot girl's head began to emit white smoke as it kept searching and processing data, like a boiling kettle.

And Zion continued to walk in this tower.

The tower leads to both the upper and lower floors.

As you walk, you don't know whether you are going up or down.

But that doesn't matter.

It's good to see pictures.

Being in it, Yun Shen doesn't know where it is.

The next ten paintings are about many things that happened in the peaceful days of the descendants.Because there are no major events depicted, it cannot correspond to the ancient historical events known to mankind, and it is also difficult for Aya to imagine.

She could only guess at The Revenant itself from these fragments of life.Speaking of this, she also relaxed:

"These descendant races may all be kind, no, they can't talk about good and evil..."

Aya realized that there was a problem with her statement, so she smiled:

"Their purpose is pure! It's not for destruction, it's not for destruction, it's just... just like other animals! They just want to live a little longer and live a better life. Maybe many of the traits that we have converged to evolve Here, it conveys the idea of ​​​​this race that came to earth in the first place."

"You're right... amazing, Aya."

A few murals, another billion years have passed.

Over the course of billions of years, Zion has gradually lost its sense of time scale.Geological age is a terrible scale.Human history only originated in the latest and shortest geological age.

"Thank you...I'm very happy."

Aya responded in a low voice.

It just didn't last long.

Soon the atmosphere of the murals became gloomy again.

"The descendants have been in a long-term conflict. The monsters on the earth have something they can't understand, which leads to constant disputes. Many descendants have left, and many strange alien species have arrived on the comet or by themselves. This planet has fought with the descendants. Their creations have also fought with them."
