I Am the Swarm

"How about it?"

"Don't worry, it's a small thing." Warwick was triumphant. With the help of technology and technology, the Ratman's internal network protection was as useless in front of him.

"Warwick, assign authority to us as well. Everyone checks out their respective categories according to the division of labor just now." Although the captain delegated the command to Warwick, in the end, it was Branca who actually commanded.

Then, the intense busyness began. These team members had learned the characters and language of the Ratman long ago, and it seemed that the Ratman's intranet was effortless at this time.

hours later.

"It's really weird." Emina murmured in confusion, she was in charge of investigating the history of the Ratmen.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?" Blanca asked.

"The history of the rat people is unusually short. According to their own historical records, nearly a thousand years ago, a fireball fell from the sky and fell to the earth, exterminating the carnivorous species that were at the top of the food chain at that time. Rat species took advantage of this opportunity to rise and become the rat people we are today."

What Emina said, although everyone didn't know the specific situation, they all had guesses. Because the monitoring mechanism of the Ji Clan is to send personnel every five thousand years to record and update the data of the star system that has no life. The star system that gave birth to intelligent life is recorded once every thousand years. And the star system where the primitive civilization was born will install equipment, enter the routine monitoring stage, and depending on the situation and timing, launch the "treasure" spacecraft.

But don’t think it’s too long. You need to know that a star system may take billions of years to produce life, and life may take hundreds of millions of years to produce wisdom. With wisdom, I don’t know how long it will take to be born. civilization. Coupled with the interstellar distance and time span, the monitoring mechanism of the Ji clan is still very scientific.

"Is that fireball a large meteorite?"

"That's right, I just applied for authorization, connected to our family's database, and checked the original records. Coincidentally, before the meteorite fell on the origin star, it happened to be the turn of the thousand-year inspection. The inspectors at that time discovered this However, out of the principle of not interfering too much, they did not prevent all this from happening. According to records, at that time, the origin star was dominated by reptiles. After the impact of the meteorite, the ecological environment changed and reptiles became extinct in large numbers. But they I didn't observe too much, I simply recorded the situation and left." Emina said, looking at the information in front of her.

"Then the information of my family seems to match the records of the Ratman?"

"That's right, less than a thousand years ago, those reptile bones were still very well preserved, and the landform changed by the meteorite was not destroyed. Although the level of technology of the Ratman is not very good, but based on these, it is still not a problem to analyze the cause and effect of."

"Then what you are wondering is that their history is too short? This is true. It takes tens of thousands of years for a normal race to go from ignorance to civilization. However, it only took less than a thousand years for the rat people to grow from food to the present. This is definitely not the result of natural evolution."

Emina shook her head. She is in charge of historical data inquiries, and she is an expert in the study of biological evolution. She has long been puzzled by these questions that everyone can see at a glance, so naturally she will not raise it now: "I doubt What's more, the Ratmen recorded the impact of the meteorite as God's punishment. And it's recorded in this way whether it's the trail forum or the official website."

Hearing her words, everyone frowned slightly, thinking about the key point.

Wright scratched his head, he hated this charade: "What's so strange about it."

"I see!" A member named Yate interjected: "In the early ignorant stage of a race, it is easy to have some primitive worship. However, as they continue to progress, they understand that those are just illusions. Some Civilizations abandon this kind of worship. They begin to believe in science more, and believe that everything in the universe can be explained by science. The sublimation of this primitive worship has risen to the level of a spiritual totem, which is used to constantly alert and restrain oneself."

"What kind of rat man is it?" Wright couldn't help asking.

Art raised his hand to signal to Wright to be calm. He is an expert in history and religion. He expressed the answer to this question with his own understanding: "Normally, the rat man should be the first .Because their evolution is so fast that they may have gotten rid of the stage of ignorance before they even had time to produce primitive worship. But the reality is just the opposite. Their expressions are easy to say on the trail forums, but the official information is more authoritative , should not use such misleading remarks. According to the meaning of the rat people, they agree that there is a god."

"How is that possible!" Wright exclaimed.

"Do you know what's weird now?"

Warwick scratched his head and said, "The rat man is abnormal, so it shouldn't be possible to use common sense to deduce it."

"Indeed, but Art's analysis still has reference value. Have you ever thought about it? If the Ratman's ignorance period is very short, but now the folks and the government agree with the existence of gods. Perhaps the gods in their records really exist. .” Emina analyzed.

"The rat people are very respectful to their gods. I can tell from their communication." A female team member suddenly spoke. She is an expert in social relations. She said this probably in the In the intranet, what was found.

"This so-called god, shouldn't it be the Zerg race? As a biological civilization, the Zerg race should not be a problem. The reason why the Rat People don't know the existence of the Zerg race may be because of the different names. We are called the Zerg race. They call them gods?" Wright made a point.

"Well, what you said is very possible. I am impressed with you." Emina exaggeratedly exclaimed, and after receiving a contemptuous gesture from Wright, she continued: "But where did the Zerg come from? I When I checked the monitoring records just now, I have already read the records of the thousand years ago, including all the records of the previous 50,000 years, and there is no information about the Zerg at all."

The topic went around the starting point again, and everyone pondered.

The appearance of the Zerg has been around for nearly a thousand years, and the time seems to be about the same as the appearance of the Ratmen. What Wright said is likely to be true. But if the Zerg created the Ratmen, where did the Zerg come from?

But at this time, the social relations expert just now spoke again: "I have carefully studied the vocabulary of the rat people. In some adjectives, they have extremely accurate and detailed divisions. And their gods, in their cognition Among them, it is an individual, not a group, which is a concept that is difficult to confuse."
