Chapter 120 Cataclysm

The sky is so blue that it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and there are row upon row of tall houses built of stone, carved with exquisite and intricate patterns.The bricks and stones on the ground are very smooth, but there are gorgeous carvings carved inside.There are clusters of white flowers growing on green vines, hanging from the roof, wrapping around the stone pillars and arches, embellishing the streets with vitality.

There were not many people walking on the street, but they all had relaxed and satisfied smiles on their faces, their steps were leisurely, and their expressions were stretched. No one seemed to be in a hurry or frowning.People are humble, gentle, courteous, and smiling to strangers on the road.Their costumes are also very different from those of today's people. Most of the women wear solid-color chest wraps and long skirts with light gauze and soft forging, which look lazy and elegant; most of the men show their arms and muscular chests, full of strength and beauty.They wear golden jewelry and flower branches on their wrists. Only a few people wear shoes, and most of them just walk barefoot. Shoes are not a necessity for them, but a decoration on their bodies.

This is a city full of classical beauty and modern atmosphere at the same time.Those passers-by would turn on an electronic hologram in the air for video calls from time to time, and there were oval or whale-shaped aircraft passing overhead in the sky.Traffic lights and markings are not only on the road, but also in mid-air, forming a criss-cross traffic network.There is an electronic screen with a length and width of more than ten meters in the air directly in front of it, which is broadcasting instant news.

Rong Yuan stood in the center of the intersection wearing a space suit, looking out of place with this street.A girl holding a bouquet came from the opposite side, and walked straight towards Rong Yuan with a smile on her face.Rong Yuan looked up at the sky, without avoiding it, the girl passed through his body directly.

Rong Yuan's expression remained unchanged, he knew that the extremely realistic scene in front of him was a virtual holographic image, this street, these passers-by, and this girl were all scenes from a long time ago.

When he stepped into the reference room, he thought he would see rows of bookshelves, or a huge memory, but he didn't expect it to be just a not-so-spacious empty room. There was a small sign beside the door: "When asking questions Please close the doors and windows to prevent other light sources from affecting the visual effect."

Rong Yuan closed the door, and the room was suddenly dark.He thought for a while and said, "I want to know the history of this place."

As soon as the words fell, thousands of faint light spots lit up from the walls, floors and roofs, and he seemed to be standing in the center of the stars in the vast sky. The light spots flickered like a galaxy flowing around him.After a while, the scene in front of him suddenly turned aside, and this street appeared around him.

……

A string of music broke the tranquility and leisure on the street. On the electronic screen, a piece of news was suddenly interrupted: "48:32:580 in the morning fifteen days later, it will be the time when the moon star will be closest to the earth. The observatory has done Ready to capture... This comet rich in mineral deposits will only pass the earth once every 580 years, if we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait [-] years to see its true face again..."

……

As soon as the screen turned, a planet full of potholes and shaped like a ball-headed missile was full of robots mining and digging. A woman who couldn't see her face was wearing a simple protective suit and said to the camera very excitedly. : "Unexpectedly, the reserves of magnetolite on this planet are 10% more than we originally expected! This is a major discovery! According to scientists' speculation, such a huge amount of magnetolite is enough for We meet energy needs for over [-] years!"

In the background of the shot, a spider-like robot climbs out of an underground hole with a light blue stone the size of a truck on top of it.

……

Turning the screen again, Rong Yuan saw the prototype of the moon-centered city: the interior of the planet has been hollowed out, the huge blue spar is fixed at the core of the planet by a metal bracket, and the end of the bracket is connected to the outer shell of the planet There are some large and small buildings on the road, all of which are shining with brilliant lights.After wearing the translator, Rong Yuan was able to understand the meanings of the various signs on the houses, they were all places like hotels, beverage stores, restaurants, and repair shops.After the planet was mined, it seemed to be built into a tourist destination, and the countless capsules naturally disappeared, replaced by countless surprisingly large flowers, and the entire underground city was like a sea of ​​plants.

Rong Yuan's position at this time is on a platform in mid-air.This underground city that never sleeps imitates the earth. There are many large and small "clouds" floating in the air. The surface is still soft, and it sinks in when you sit on it, making people want to sleep involuntarily.On the platform he was on, there was a ten-year-old child sleeping soundly on his back, and on a nearby cloud was an old couple with gray hair, cuddling together and talking in a low voice.

"Lianna, let's go down and play!" On the clouds below him, a curly-haired girl said while holding her companion's hand.

Her companion was a chubby little girl. She hugged the fluffy cloud, closed her eyes and hummed, "No! I want to sleep!"

The curly-haired girl pulled for a while, but seeing that she couldn't move, she had to give up.The girl sat on the edge of the cloud and looked down, then jumped down!Accompanied by the sound of the whistling wind, she fell for tens of kilometers, and landed straight in the center of a huge umbrella-shaped flower below.The milky white flower suddenly closed and bent down, and bounced up again after a while. The girl flew into the sky with a happy laugh, and her body turned a few times in the air before falling into another flower.

After a while, many people were attracted by her laughter and joined the game one after another.Even the sleepy fat girl couldn't hold back, and finally jumped down.

Everyone was having fun, when suddenly the whole planet seemed to shake, and the huge roar echoed repeatedly in the entire dungeon.Amidst the screams, the white clouds in the sky fell to the ground one after another, and some people fell down due to the vibration of the sound waves, lying on the flowers and unable to get up.At several entrances of the dungeon, black muzzles protruded in, aiming at the panicked people, followed by a creature that did not have the appearance of a human being.

……

The earth is crying.

Countless cannonballs descended from the sky with blazing flames, and there were also attack beams on the ground to meet the opponent.Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the earth was scorched, countless buildings burned and collapsed, and the ferocious steel spaceships were shot down from the sky one by one.There were also people on the ground fighting with the enemy. The opponent's body was much stronger than theirs. Human beings could hardly resist a single blow when they fought head-on, and countless people died.But no matter how many people die, the successors will only continue to join the battle one after another, without flinching or fear.

……

"We have won! We have won! We have driven out the invaders, and mankind has won!"

On the earth that has become wasteland, human beings are running and shouting, with unspeakable sorrow and joy.Such a tragic victory caused everyone to bear heavy pain.When the aggressors left, many dropped their weapons and knelt and wept, more like losers than their opponents.

However, this is not the end, a bigger disaster has arrived.

The harmfulness of the weapons of mass destruction used by both sides in the war has not disappeared with the end of the war, and the earth is more fragile than human imagination.

Like knocked down dominoes, a series of disasters formed a chain reaction.Continental plates oscillated frequently, volcanoes and earthquakes erupted everywhere, slightly smaller islands and coastal land sank into the sea; glaciers melted, heavy rain continued for days and nights, and huge waves up to nearly a thousand meters were set off on the sea surface. The cities were submerged without resistance, even some low mountain peaks were not spared; the sky was filled with smog that never disperses, and the air was full of harmful gases to the human body. In just a few years, a large number of people Suffering from an unprecedented disease, people often fall down while walking on the road.A large number of animals and plants were extinct during the war, and human beings fell into a serious food crisis.

"This is a difficult decision, but we have to abandon the earth. This planet has become unsuitable for human habitation. In order to survive, we will go to the universe to find a new home." In the news, the tired leader said .

Human beings have obtained space navigation technology from the spaceships shot down by alien invaders, and this technology has developed rapidly because of people's urgent needs during the disaster.Therefore, most people take a spaceship and set off like a distant universe.

Not all people have the courage to sail into the unknown dark universe, some people choose to stay and continue to suffer on the earth.

A few years later, some people chose to leave.However, they did not go far, but went to the planet that was transformed into a tourist attraction, and established a base that was barely suitable for human survival.They watched the changes on the earth from afar, waiting for the day when the nightmare would end and return home.

However, how can the development of the world be as expected?

……

In the end, a small group of people who stayed on the earth experienced unimaginable pain.Every year at the turn of spring and summer, continuous days of heavy rain and floods will submerge the place where they live, and people have to be driven by the flood to move to higher peaks; The high temperature will quickly evaporate all the water, the rivers and pools will dry up, the sea level will evaporate, and the groundwater will dry up. For a little water source, people will dig deeper holes and migrate to lower altitudes.People who migrate back and forth like migratory birds have to endure the severe cold of being sprinkled with water and freezing in winter. Even though they are wrapped in thick animal fur, people still continue to freeze and starve to death.

What's more, because of those weapons, the earth is full of harmful rays and gases, which corrode human bodies all the time.

Ten years, 20 years, 100 years...

The people watching the earth in the Moon Heart City have not seen the good changes they expected, and the situation is developing in a worse direction.

Civilization is destroyed, and people are no longer human.

It only takes 100 years for a civilization that has developed over tens of thousands of years to be completely forgotten.

A developed civilization requires long-term and systematic learning and years of exposure before it can be inherited by the latecomers. However, the survivors on the earth in the disaster do not have a learning environment.After the cataclysm, the exquisite instruments of the civilization era were either meaningless, or they were destroyed in the flood and the climate change of alternating hot and cold.When the last earthling with the memory of the civilization era died, it announced the end of the last civilization on the earth.Born in the era of disasters, the new generation spent most of their memory migrating and searching for food, and resisting severe cold and heat, not to mention inheriting and developing past civilizations. Most of them only mastered simple words and calculations.It is enough to have this knowledge in this era. For them, how to run faster, be stronger, climb higher, and find food that can fill their stomachs in an environment with nothing is the skill that determines life and death. .

Soon, numbers and words were also forgotten.People wield weapons made of sticks and stones to drive away wild animals, wear simple clothes made of animal skins and leaves around their waists, and howl like ferocious beasts to increase deterrence for themselves.

Maybe it's the changes made by humans to adapt to the environment, maybe it's the ubiquitous radiation on the earth that has changed the genetic structure of the human body, and the appearance of the people on the earth has also gradually changed-the back is curved, the limbs have become more slender and powerful, and the skin has changed. Rough, sharp teeth, long hair all over the body.

They no longer look like humans.

Causality: The chicken came first?Or came first the egg?

Zhuangzi: Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly?Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou?

Yu Mo: Monkey becomes human?People become monkeys?
