Deep Space Fleet

Time flies, thousands of years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years have passed.

The green star civilization has already left this piece of starry sky, and went to other places to cause harm. At this stage, humans stepped out of the African prairie and gradually entered the Paleolithic Age.

As a result, another intelligent civilization was born on Carina Star.

The intelligent creatures of the second era, the hemispheric civilization was born!

When Zhang Yuan saw this line of text, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

It is not uncommon for a planet suitable for life evolution to develop two different kinds of intelligent creatures successively. Just like the little earth, Homo sapiens, that is, human beings, is a relatively definite intelligent species.

But humans are not the only intelligent species.

Just like Thai macaques, West African chimpanzees, Brazilian black-striped capuchin monkeys, and white-faced capuchin monkeys, these species may also have transitioned to the Paleolithic age. In the distant future, if there is no human intervention, there will be certain Probability to evolve into an intelligent species.

This is no joke.

These clever monkeys use stones as their tools to crack nuts, dig dirt, and hold things. That is to say, they have a certain learning ability.

The use of stone tools is not born, but learned through social factors. Given more time, monkeys may not be able to learn more.

These monkeys still have their own language, and the last step from intelligent creatures is only to use fire.

If they are given enough time and a certain opportunity, after hundreds of thousands of years, monkeys may be able to develop a real civilization.

However, if humans on Earth do not perish, monkeys will never have a chance.

The reason is not that human beings are afraid of the emergence of another intelligent life and prevent them from developing. Rather... the ecological environment of monkeys is completely controlled by humans. They can only live in the same environment forever, and cannot escape outside their habitats.

In an extremely stable environment, the absence of mobility means that there are no variables. Monkeys can live well as long as they maintain their current lifestyle. In this way, the society composed of monkeys will inevitably involve, and the society will stop progressing.

The mediocre theory of the universe is universal, applicable to interstellar civilizations, and also applicable to the most primitive monkey natives. Ease and satisfaction are the factors that most easily lead to mediocrity.

Therefore, the development of civilization requires internal factors as well as changes in the external environment. If there is no change, you have to find changes by yourself. This is also the main reason why the new human fleet keeps wandering in the universe.

Closer to home, the intelligent creatures Hemispheres appeared in this world in the second era, and they are close relatives of Multispheres. Now the multi-spherical people are extinct, and the hemispheric people have gone through the Stone Age for more than 100,000 years, and they are very lucky to be on the top. However, because the age is still the same, they don't know that there was a first era intelligent civilization.

With the development of the times, people in the hemisphere also gave birth to splendid civilizations, created their own languages ​​and characters, and established feudal dynasties one by one.

But they face a very big dilemma - no fossil fuels.

No oil, no coal, no natural gas, not even flammable ice under the ocean.

No, nothing.

These fossil fuels were exhausted by the multi-sphere people of the first era. It is impossible for a drop of oil or a piece of coal to be produced in a mere hundreds of thousands of years.

Without enough fossil fuels, people in the hemisphere will be miserable. No matter how smart they are, they will not be able to enter the industrial age. The cost of only relying on plant combustion to provide energy is too high. The production of charcoal requires a large number of people to mine, and the productivity is limited. After all, the growth of plants depends on photosynthesis, and the total amount of growth each year is fixed. It is impossible to get what you want like coal.

Under such conditions, the accumulation of capital is too slow, and technology naturally cannot develop.

The people of the hemisphere, who have not been able to enter the industrial age for a long time, have gradually become a mediocre civilization...

They have been stuck in the traditional handicraft era. People in the hemisphere can use charcoal to smelt some metals, but the cost is too high, and it is very difficult to further large-scale steelmaking.

Large-scale steelmaking is one of the very important conditions for industrialization.

This slow era has lasted for at least 50,000 years, and many historical materials have been lost. Compared with the same era of human beings, it seems to be too long.

But long-term exploration can always accumulate production experience. During the long-term separation and reunion, the idle upper class began to prefer some spiritual enjoyment, such as mathematics, art, and...archaeological culture.

Archaeological culture, the biggest variable on Karina.

In fact, people in the hemisphere can often dig up strange things in their daily lives, which is the so-called "ancestral heritage".

Rusted rebar, concrete bricks, and some really weird stuff. Confused people in the hemisphere always thought that they were the traces of life left by their ancestors, and they would keep these things in their collections.

Karina is a planet rich in oxygen. Over a long period of time, oxygen has corroded most of the heritage of the first era, so the hemisphere people who have stayed in the feudal era for a long time have never regarded them as treasures. .

The common people picked up interesting garbage, and those with metal components were directly smelted, and those that looked worthwhile were also sold to merchants who collected antiques.

The merchants then sold the valuable antiques to the nobles.

The nobles compared each other's collections of antiques, and suddenly found that modern arts and crafts are not as exquisite as ancient ones. This fact makes them puzzled.

With the development of handicraft industry to the present, how can it not compare with the ancient times? They knew what life was like in ancient times.

In particular, the various ancestral scripts have not been able to be deciphered. The number of these scripts is very large, which is completely different from the ones they are currently using. Out of curiosity, some nobles who had nothing to do began to organize manpower to decipher these words.

It wasn't until an archaeologist initially deciphered the language of the "ultra-ancient civilization" that the entire upper class suddenly realized it!

"It's not our ancestor!"

"It's rather... there was an ultra-ancient civilization in the world, and they were far more developed than us!"

"What is this? Magic?"

"The place we live in is called a planet, and the planet is round! There is a universe outside!"

The discovery of this fact shocked the people of the hemisphere.

Immediately afterwards, the news spread throughout the kingdom, and all the nobles began to frantically loot the antiques and collect those valuable things.

A vigorous archaeological operation appeared on Karina, and the fanatical hemisphere almost dug the entire planet three feet into the ground. In this high-oxygen environment, only some buried shelters could be preserved.

Just like digging an ancient tomb, every time one is excavated, it is a big harvest. Everywhere you can hear the news that someone dug a treasure and got rich overnight

Although a lot of the heritage of the entire planet has been lost, there are quite a lot of things added up. These crazy aristocrats even went overseas to make big purchases, and because of this, they launched wars of aggression again and again to rob the wealth of other countries.

But it is also these archaeological data that provide a solid foundation for future development.
