Chapter 373: Mass Extinction Event

Sitting in his seat, Zhang Yuan listened to the group of people complaining about the strange culture of Riley civilization, and comforted him with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, you've already gained a lot, and it's not that bad..."

"How is the transaction going this time? Is there any special report about our diplomats?"

Secretary-General Li Cheng, who stood aside, replied: "It's still going on, and there are not too many twists and turns. The trade fair will go on until they can't come up with anything new. Our scientists are studying the aliens sent up. Animals and plants, it will take a long time, and there will be no good research results in a while."

"So far, a total of 422 sets of stainless steel tableware, 3,309 metal weapons, 122 armor sets, and 64 sets of primary production tools have been traded. The number of slaves traded is about 40,000 person-times..."

"Nobles from about 16 countries have selected preliminary scientific knowledge from this transaction."

Those stainless steel tableware, metal weapons and other things don’t really matter. Zhang Yuan raised his head and said with a little bit of fun: “Are there 16 sown seeds? It’s not bad. I thought no one was interested .”

Li Cheng said with a smile: "It's mainly because it's cheap... This kind of knowledge is the cheapest in the trading list. It can be exchanged for this kind of knowledge for almost half the price of a knife."

However, the book did not clearly state how to smelt metals, how to generate flames, etc., but "Mathematics", "Chemistry", "Physics", "Biology" and other seemingly inexplicable words. Due to the different languages ​​and characters, human beings are too lazy to design specifically for them. They just flipped through the junior high school textbooks very roughly and deleted some sensitive content, making these books obscure and foggy.

Another scientist explained: "There are also some fanatical religious people who choose to buy these books as gifts from the gods. They want to buy them home and use them as Bibles... I don't know how deep these fanatics have studied. If you understand the meaning, what kind of expression will you have?"

For a while, everyone felt a little funny.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan sighed again, "However, how it will be applied is beyond our jurisdiction... It is even more difficult for us to predict what will happen in the future."

Just such a little interference caused a global shock to the entire Riley civilization. Even if this change will stop immediately after humans leave...

"The influence of higher-level civilizations on lower-level civilizations can be seen."

"However, according to the calculation and analysis based on the current observation, there is a high probability that even if these countries obtain chemical knowledge, they will not use it."

Because there are too many religious restrictions in this civilization, fire is hailed as a symbol of gods. If chemistry can bring fire, how should traditional teachings explain this point of view? They're likely to cover it up like nothing happened.

In this era, the rules and regulations of religion are simply too big, and its restraint is stronger than that of human beings in the Middle Ages.

Those who question the gods will be sentenced to death for blasphemy!

"Even if the Laili people really discovered these facts, they would hide them and not use them... These guys are still fanatics, and they may have a direct schizophrenia!" Li Zhendong laughed gleefully at the side.

Zhang Yuan denied: "That's not necessarily the case. Every world has heroes. Don't think they are very ignorant now, but in the distant future, who can really predict?"

These 16 seeds do have the possibility to take root and germinate.

Chemistry brings fire, and fire brings smelting and benefits.

Under the instigation of interests, there may be some new variables.

"Moreover, the interests this time are in the hands of the nobles of the palace. They have enough ability to fight against the deep-rooted theocracy. It depends on whether they are greedy enough and whether they can abandon their original thinking."

"If all the seeds die, there's nothing we can do."

It will be difficult to predict the future. Even if human beings have the prediction science of new civilization history, this science must be based on massive amounts of information, and it is impossible to completely predict the future.

Humans simply don't have the time to investigate the industry, population ideology, etc. of this civilization, let alone stay here for hundreds of years to observe the subsequent historical evolution.

"What a pity! We can't see the result." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

Everyone in the meeting room showed a look of regret.

At this time, Dr. Li Cheng suddenly thought of something, and he sent a report directly to Zhang Yuan's mailbox: "Mr. Captain, here is a geographical report on the Riley star. A major discovery has been made. According to the speculation of our scientists, the Laili planet may be experiencing a mass extinction, and the Laili race may be completely extinct within one million, or even ten million years."

"So this group of scientists would like to invite you to participate in the next meeting to discuss related matters in this regard. Shall we help out?"

"Professor Ichiro Yamamoto, in particular, is studying microorganisms that can degrade certain materials...you'd better go and have a look."

Zhang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, within a million to ten million years... completely extinct?

What does it mean?

"Ten million years?"

"Yes!"

Although this period of time is very, very long, so long that human beings may not even exist, he was still taken aback and felt a little unbelievable.

He quickly thought of some keywords, such as the Ice Age, which led to the mass extinction of human ancestors, leaving only a few thousand people.

Could it be that this planet is also experiencing a huge meteorological disaster?

But it doesn't sound like it, especially... What kind of microorganisms is this ghost Yamamoto playing with? It doesn't seem to have much connection with meteorological disasters, right? !

"Go! Let's go and have a look!"

...

Life is not a rare thing in the universe.

What humans have seen and heard along the way has gradually proved this point.

In terms of geographical location, planets that are suitable for the development of life, as long as they have enough time to accumulate, will always give birth to all kinds of strange life.

In order to explain this, various explanations have been put forward, such as "creationism", "cosmic life theory", "chemical origin theory" and so on.

Among them, the view most recognized by current scientists is called "Chemical Origin Theory".
