I Am the Swarm

Chapter 139 Civilization Evolution

According to incomplete statistics, there are suddenly more inventors among the Ratmen. People try to fly in various ways, openly or secretly.

Although everyone shouted that they did not believe in "God", their bodies were very honest.

It's a pity that the rat people's tools are still very backward. Those who make a large slingshot and shoot themselves into the air are relatively advanced ideas. Most skaven choose to take a "leap of faith" by climbing to the top of the tallest tree in sight.

For a time, the Ratmen suffered heavy casualties.

Luo Wen, who was always peeping, couldn't laugh or cry when the matter unfolded like this. Fortunately, the population of Ratmen is large now, so it is not a big problem to lose some.

But this wave of operations ignited some kind of enthusiasm among the rat people, and all kinds of inventions and creations sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Although most of them are for fun, there are always some that are more practical.

It is against this background that the wheels come out. The birth of the wheel soon gave birth to the car, and the appearance of the car accelerated the transportation efficiency of the rat people.

In addition to the Ratman, some other animals also survived the disaster. One of the dinosaur-like and bird-like creatures had its forelimbs completely transformed into wings, but it was short and fat, and could not fly. The hind legs are thick and powerful, very good at running.

Some skaven found them and tamed them to use as cart animals. Inspired by this, many creatures have suffered. After a lot of tossing, the rat people found some creatures that could be used for domestication and breeding, as food or labor.

The population of fat tail rats, whose productivity has been greatly improved, exploded again, but as the resources allocated per capita became less and less, war broke out again.

It is said that war is a catalyst for the development of science and technology. If both sides of the battle have nuclear weapons that can destroy cities and land, this is farting. But in primitive society, there is some truth to this statement.

During the war, the rulers invested a lot of manpower and material resources in weapons for research. Many military equipment began to show their prominence, and chariots and crossbows appeared one after another.

Metal implements even appeared later in the war.

Civilization has evolved to such an extent that the little ink in Rowan's stomach can no longer hold on. He was just an ordinary person before, and after so many years, most of the knowledge he learned has been returned to the teacher. Moreover, he is on an alien planet, and it is still unknown whether Blue Star's knowledge is applicable here.

However, although he can't continue to help the Ratman with scientific knowledge, he can still guide him in other aspects.

As a result, the rulers of the Ratmen learned about such terms as "family planning" and "prenatal and postnatal care" successively, and understood their meanings.

Over the next decade or so, the Ratmen fought several more wars. After the war, thousands of previous tribes were integrated into five factions.

At this time, Rowan had touched the bottom of the deep sea, which was eight thousand meters deep. The atmospheric pressure here was extremely exaggerated, and a place the size of a fingernail would bear almost a ton of weight. He borrowed the talents of many creatures along the way to get here.

First of all, after several times of molt, he replaced the outer shell with a cartilage structure, which is softer and more resistant to compression than hard bone. But its defense is poor, and Rowan is trying to absorb their respective advantages to create a new type of armor.

In addition, the pressure here can even crush the protein structure at the cellular level. So his body also produced a high concentration of oxidizing substances, which can make the body structure more stable.

In addition to these, he has also acquired many other interesting talents. For example, in the deep sea, sunlight cannot reach here, so many creatures here have their own lights. Therefore, they have a unique understanding of some applications of bioelectricity.

Luo Wen digested these harvests silently, and the deep sea was short of supplies, so he gave priority to transforming the creep. The creep itself has strong adaptability, with some deep-sea creature genes added, they took root here and began to provide Rowan with a steady stream of energy.

In the outside world, the ratman civilization is evolving rapidly. Some of these rulers saw the power of technology, and under their secret guidance, they began to popularize education and promote talents.

However, due to the longevity of the Ratmen, their rulers changed very frequently. Some of them were unwilling to make progress and wanted to hinder this progress, but they always encountered various accidents inexplicably.

The wise men of the rat people also have the same lifespan problem. It takes time to learn and accumulate advanced scientific knowledge, and the Ratmen simply cannot complete this kind of accumulation in their short ten-year life.

As a result, the Ratman's technology stagnated after reaching a certain level.

Luo Wen, who was secretly observing, also discovered this problem, and soon, a group of swarm ratmen carrying longevity genes were released.

Thanks to the super production efficiency of the Ratmen, this gene quickly became popular. The upper limit of the ratman's lifespan has also been increasing year after year, and the technological progress has once again advanced forward.

However, after a long life, the population pressure of the Ratmen increased sharply. It didn't take long for the war to break out again because of resource issues.

The five powers eventually became two powers, the Kingdom of Kerrigan and the Kingdom of Myrican.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Kerrigan is an alienated white-haired rat. They are very beautiful and rare with white hair all over the body, and they have a natural appeal among the fat tail rats with multi-colored mixed hair.

Rowan discovered their ancestors very early, and gave them the surname Kerrigan out of some commemoration. The white-haired mouse, who thought it was bestowed by the gods, was very excited, so relying on the appeal of its unique fur color, it formed a faction.

And they can get to this point today, and they cannot do without the help of Luo Wen.

However, the Kingdom of Myrican has come to this point entirely by its own means. Their royal family is pure gray fur, and several rulers with vision and talent have emerged, which have improved and accumulated their strength. Only then have the present thick and thin hair.

The two kingdoms, one in the north and the other in the south, divided up all the land in the mainland. They were evenly matched and finally chose a truce.

Five changes and two, resources have been integrated again, and technology has ushered in another leap.

However, the population problem still plagued the two kingdoms. Not long after the war, the population of both sides began to increase again, and the life that had just been affluent became tense again.

Rowan, who was peeping in the dark, was really worried. A group of new swarm-version fat rats were quietly released in multiples. They have been engineered for fertility and can give birth up to once a year, 1-3 pups at a time. And their lifespan was extended again, so that the maximum lifespan of the Ratman was extended to 60 years old, which was four or five times higher than the original one.

More than thirty years have passed in a hurry, and two more wars broke out between the two kingdoms due to various reasons. Those Ratmen who didn't have the new fertility gene before were basically extinct, and the rest also lost their fertility due to age.

The newborn population of Ratmen has been declining year after year, and after years of development, it has finally stabilized at a suitable position.
