End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Chapter 373: The 2.5 billion years of development of the dragon race

"My name is Long Yuan, captain of the frontline troops."

"The armed forces responsible for commanding the battleships."

The third-order dragon clan slowly spoke and introduced himself.

Lin Feng then asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time:

"Why did you leave Blue Star in the first place?"

Captain Long Yuan looked at the humans in front of him and sighed.

Its evolutionary level is only at the early stage of the third level. Although it is already a top-notch existence on this battleship, it is still not enough when looking at the entire Blue Star or this expedition fleet.

After all, the one in front of me, as an evolutionary descendant of the Blue Star mammals, according to the report of the Dragon Lizard Team, is a species called humans...

Not only is his strength not weak, but he already possesses the fourth-level cosmic life form.

This point is slightly different from the report results of the Dragon Lizard Team. For example, according to their observations...

The humans who originally ruled the Blue Star used a sky-wide telescope to see the birth of intelligent species in the center of the cosmic channel of the dinosaur family five thousand light-years away.

Civilization had just entered the primitive days of slavery.

Even if what they received at that time was only the light message sent from the Blue Star five thousand years ago...

But according to the scale of cosmic civilization, five thousand years is just a fleeting generation of dragons that passed by in the blink of an eye.

The blue star calendar time they used, three hundred and sixty-five days in a blue star year, is only equivalent to a blink of an eye.

According to the chronology of the Orion Eternal Protoss...

Taking the 250 million-year rotation period of the Milky Way as one era, 700,000 years is one degree of year, and 10,000 years is one degree of month.

And five thousand years is only equivalent to half a month.

For life forms of the second stage of evolution that only have a life span of a thousand years, five thousand years is indeed a long time. However, for high-level life forms of the third stage, which have a life span of ten thousand years, five thousand years is only the first half of their lives.

Only the cosmic beings of the fourth level and above can easily live a long life of one hundred thousand or one million years. For them, a thousand years is just a short journey in their lives.

Just like one year or one month in a human's hundred-year life span, it is not worth mentioning.

And if five thousand years are put on the scale of civilization, it will be like a fleeting glimpse, passing by in a hurry.

Take the Dragon Clan itself, an intelligent civilization on Blue Star. It was only after the mass extinction of Synapsids before the Permian Period that they found the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Blue Star's food chain and become the overlord of Blue Star...

All the way from a sauromorph crawling on four legs to an egg-laying animal, only a dozen centimeters or tens of centimeters in size, it evolved all the way to become the dominant blue star.

The Permian Period 300 million years ago was the last era of the Paleozoic Era and lasted for 50 million years. This period was also the end of the old era and the prelude to the new era.

Starting with each reptile in the class Sauromorpha...

The Dragon Clan began its own billion-year growth plan.

In the 50 million years from the Permian to the Triassic, their primitive reptilian life evolved into large dinosaurs and various reptile branches...

Including crocodiles, snakes, turtles, as well as blue dragons, plesiosaurs, etc. in the ocean.

Animals of the class Reptiles occupy the upper and top positions of all ecological niches and continue to do so until the next era.

After 50 million years of evolutionary development, reptilian animals finally occupied the entire Blue Star and completed their initial evolution. Many leaders of the reptilian races have evolved to the first stage, and even the second stage, with large size and strength. Powerful giant reptile.

They are also called clan leader-level behemoths. With their powerful second-level strength, they lead the clan to grow and continue.

The final development result of a high degree of evolution is naturally the development of intelligence and brain that is compensated by late development.

Because although reptiles have full talents in advance in terms of physical fitness, their body functions are second only to those of arthropods, and their adaptability is also very high...

Compared with the first-generation landing plus in the initial era, the reptiles chose to balance the physical and mental directions to ensure a certain degree of spiritual and intellectual level to ensure adaptability to the environment.

When the environment deteriorates, they will go out to find new habitats, instead of just living in one area for generations and adapting to the environment with a set of physiological structures like the original arthropods.

But once the environment mutates, a large number of people will die until the population becomes extinct.

Today, they have become the veritable bottom of the food chain.

At the end of the Paleozoic Era before the Permian Period, when synapsids were on the rise, reptiles lived by preying on lower-level arthropods. Now, 50 million years have passed, and they have become lower-level synapsids, and they still rely on prey. Lives on arthropods and insects.

In addition to using huge changes in sample size to bet on the existence of species that can survive, they are not willing to improve the brain structure and enhance individual intelligence to develop the group from primitive life to civilization.

After 50 million years of evolution, the reptiles that became the overlord of Blue Star came to the Triassic Period 250 million years ago, the early beginning of the Mesozoic Era.

At that time, the reptiles, like the first two overlords who once occupied the entire Blue Star, faced a major decision.

Like the arthropods, they are content to enjoy the status quo and improve the evolution of the group and stagnate; or are they like continuing to follow the hegemonic hegemon of the previous era, on the road to physical enhancement, without looking back? rush.

Eventually the reptiles chose two lines of development.

One is to continue to rush on the road of physical enhancement like the synapsids, to ensure that the external physical strength continues to rise, to ensure that their own race can occupy an advantage among the reptiles of the blue planet, and not be eliminated by the internal circulation under the racial category.

The other is to specialize in spiritual wisdom...

and the awakening of self-awareness.

As a back-up left by reptiles.

At the same time, the evolution and development of the entire race is also gradually shifting to the compensation and improvement of spiritual attributes after occupying the dominant position through the rapid improvement of physical fitness.

On the side where the physical system continues to develop, the largest land life form in the history of the blue planet has evolved, the dinosaur family that was gradually born in the late Triassic period.

Among them are the herbivorous Diplodocus and the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which are the most perfect evolutionary creations in the entire history of life on the blue planet.

On the other hand, the seeds planted in the early Triassic period, the reptiles with spiritual wisdom as the core of development, another branch, successfully evolved into the first civilization in the history of the blue planet in the Jurassic period.

A high-level reptilian civilization with lizardmen and dragon lizardmen as the main body.

For this moment, they have been dormant for many years.

Because the physical structure of reptiles is far stronger than the spiritual attribute in terms of physical fitness, and also in order to take advantage of the mass extinction of organisms that began in the Permian period, the environmental changes caused by alternating cold and hot...

They have evolved the ability to adapt to temperature changes, and can adapt to the temperature of the environment and adjust their own body temperature in high-temperature and high-cold environments.

In high-temperature environments, they grow very fast, and their body size can grow several times in a few months. In low-temperature environments, they hibernate, reducing their body functions to the lowest level, and their heartbeats can even slow down to once every five minutes.

In this way, they can survive the long winter or dry season.

Even on the blue planet 60 million years later, many reptile descendants, including crocodiles, turtles, and snakes, still retain this genetic ability.

Because of their strong adaptability to the environment, reptiles are also called cold-blooded animals, but later mammals and humans prefer to call them cold-blooded animals.

It is related to the ferocious and sinister appearance of reptiles.

Although cold-blooded is just a literal meaning, there are still many humans who think that reptiles are cold-blooded killers without wisdom and ungrateful wolves.

In fact, they also have individuals with outstanding intelligence.

Especially the crocodile, a masterpiece of evolution for hundreds of millions of years, some individuals in its group have a high mental IQ.

And the overall intelligence is actually better than most mammals.

So they are still the best in their respective ecological chains, second only to humans.

Especially on the Philippine continent, crocodiles can still prey on mammals for a living, and can be called one of the overlords on the grassland.

And it is precisely in order to better adapt to the harsh environment that the temperature-changing talent of reptiles has become a limitation for the development of their spiritual wisdom.

Because to adapt to the temperature, a large amount of energy and evolutionary strengthening direction in the body must be supplied to the entire body tissue, especially the trunk below the head.

To develop spiritual wisdom and brain evolution, at least 40% of nutritional energy must be supplied to the brain tissue...

But once this happens, reptiles will definitely be weaker in other aspects!

It may even cause a certain degree of damage to the original body structure.

To be honest, every race will make destructive changes and innovations on a mature body that has been verified to use environmental changes.

At that time, the research team of this branch encountered opposition from various reptile races, including some clan leaders who had evolved to the second stage...

In the end, it was the dinosaur clan, the new overlord that stood out in the food chain at that time, that strongly supported the research process of spiritual wisdom.

I want to pave the way for the dragon clan in advance!

In fact, the reason why this idea was able to get strong support from the dinosaur clan was mainly because the rights and status of the reptile clan were controlled by the original old clan.

For example, the crocodile clan occupied all rivers and the coastal line.

Their clan leader has evolved to the late second stage, with a body length of an astonishing 50 meters, becoming the strongest amphibious existence in history.

But they can't find the next evolutionary direction.

They can only occupy the top of the ecological niche and then maintain their own power and status.

For the new generation of dinosaurs, this is an obstacle to their rise.

On the other hand, supporting the research on spiritual wisdom is to suppress those old-school people who pretend to be profound and rely on their age.

They are unwilling to give up their own interests and hand them over to the new generation.

Fortunately, the spiritual wisdom research that can be continued finally came to an end after another 50 million years...

In the next era of the Triassic period, at the junction of the Jurassic period, the lizard people finally developed the awakening technology, which can allow most of the first-order and second-order reptiles to directly awaken their own consciousness. While having self-awareness, they can also form the cornerstone of civilization...

And the dinosaurs, who have been the second for thousands of years and have been helping the research on spiritual wisdom, have also been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for 50 million years...

Finally, 150 million years after the rise of reptiles, the dawn of the peak of the race has come.

By virtue of the transformation of their spiritual attributes, the vast majority of first- and second-order dinosaur groups have awakened their self-awareness, and their intelligence levels have been raised to the point where they can learn independently and understand the world.

At one time, dinosaurs of different species in the tribe decided to unite and form the first unified tribe in the history of Blue Star, which later gave birth to a large number of fourth-order cosmic life, the great dragon tribe.

Since its birth, the dragon tribe has begun to work together to develop its own civilization, improve the dragon tribe's understanding of the world, and develop many scientific and technological achievements.

Among them, the dragon people are the representative. Their technology has entered the stage of mining and iron smelting, and they are about to enter the feudal civilization.

At this time, the bigwigs of the dinosaur tribe also obtained the way to advance to the third stage through the evolutionary research of the dragon bloodline...

After 150 million years after the dragon tribe reached the top of reptiles, it led the life of Blue Star to enter the third stage for the first time, and led the Zerg to become the pride of the sky at that time.

And quickly seized the power of the old faction.

Let the dragon tribe become the leader of the reptile tribe.

From then on, it occupied an absolute position.

And the remaining reptiles, including the ancestral lizards at the beginning of evolution, also underwent surgical transformation and gradually developed their own third-order existence.

It's just that the dragon race has always been dominant.

In the following 50 million years, the dragon civilization has undergone several changes, but the level of development of civilization has never fallen behind.

Because of the stable climate development period and the absolute dominance on the blue planet, the dragon race has safely passed the evolution of civilization.

From the initial feudal society to the rise of capital brought about by technological progress, it finally entered a stable and harmonious society, where strength and bloodline are respected.

As for five years ago, after the Jurassic entered the Cretaceous period...

The 200 million years of development of the dragon race...

In front of us at this moment, there are living third-level dragons...

Captain Long Yuan, who is ten meters tall, said:

"The Cretaceous period was the peak period of the dinosaur race, and it was also the period when reptiles ushered in rebirth and destruction."

"During this period, our dragon race gave birth to fourth-level cosmic life, and led the tribe under its command to break away from the constraints of the blue planet and go to outer space and the solar system."

"Driving giant spaceships and ship-destroying aircraft, they are rampant in space."

"For a time, the development of civilization was like riding a rocket. In just 10 or 20 million years, seven or eight fourth-level reptile evolutions were born..."

"Among them, there is also an ancestor who is about to be promoted to the sixth level. Unfortunately, everything changed later."

Captain Long Yuan sighed.

Looking at the two humans in front of him, his tone was deep:

"The reason why the dragon race was forced to leave the blue planet where they had been operating for hundreds of millions of years..."

"It is because of the 250 million years of galactic rotation mentioned earlier..."
