#539 - Chapter 539: No Inheritance
"So, do we belong to the human survivors?" Dongfang Chen asked curiously.
The Mayan high priest said that they had all migrated from Venus, so theoretically, they should be human survivors.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I bring you here?" the robot replied.
"Then I have a new question. Since the technology of humans was once very advanced, why did it decline later? At least, from the information I know, primitive people lived a life of drinking blood.", Dongfang Chen asked.
"Drinking blood? Are you sure you're talking about humans, and not some other animal?" the robot asked.
"This…" Dongfang Chen was speechless.
It seemed so, after all, apes were not humans.
And now there is no evidence that humans evolved from apes.
"But the low level of ancient technology is also a fact," Dongfang Chen said.
"This is because the survivors who migrated from Venus did not successfully pass on the achievements of civilization. But it's not entirely like that. Some human races can inherit a part of their memory through genetic inheritance. But it is very limited," the robot replied.
"Didn't pass it down?" Dongfang Chen probably understood what it meant.
It's like a group of amnesiacs trapped on an island. They don't know anything, and can't even write. That's no different from a group of primitive people, and in many ways, they are not even as good as primitive people, and may not even have the most basic survival skills.
Everything needs to start from scratch.
This requires generations, dozens, or even dozens of generations of continuous exploration and accumulation of knowledge to build a new civilization.
On the other hand, there are many unsolved mysteries in human history.
For example, the Mayans had a complete astronomical calendar thousands of years ago, including the Blue Star calendar and the Venus calendar.
People on Blue Star didn't even understand their own planet, so why would they be free to study the Venus calendar?
If we follow this little guy's explanation, it makes sense.
The Mayans can inherit some knowledge through heredity, which gives them a very high starting point.
"Yes, it was not passed down. During the long years on Venus, humans and the Moni people controlled by Sirius continued to have conflicts and wars. In addition, with the ravages of viruses and ecological crises, human survival became more and more difficult. During this process, more and more knowledge was lost," the robot replied.
This is understandable.
Just like now, people are huddled in underground bases. Eating is a problem, so how many people will sit in the classroom to learn knowledge.
This generation can understand some things without learning, but at the same time, they will also miss some things.
If the crisis cannot be resolved, and it is passed down from generation to generation, the knowledge that is missed will become more and more.
By then, there will be a break in the inheritance of civilization.
But no matter how the fault occurs, some essential knowledge will definitely be passed down.
For example, language and writing.
So, there must be other things in between.
"Then how did the human survivors come to Blue Star?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"No one came to Blue Star. The current survivors are all cultivated by me," the robot replied.
"What?" Dongfang Chen was shocked.
"What's so surprising about this? We have a sound gene pool, isn't it normal to cultivate new life?" The robot gave another contemptuous look.
Technically, there is no problem. Dongfang Chen was surprised because this operation was completely beyond his expectations.
"Since you have the ability to come here from Venus, why don't you transport them here?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"That's not my mission. I was independently manufactured by the Dragon Kingdom after the Second Peace Treaty was signed. My main task is to continuously optimize the Blue Star's ecology and cultivate a new home for humans. At that time, Blue Star had already had the most primitive single-celled organisms, but the oxygen content in the atmosphere was still very low."
"In comparison, Venus at that time was already a fairly habitable planet, and there was no need to migrate to Blue Star."
"There is another reason in between. All along, no one knew that the Moni people were puppets controlled by the remnants of Sirius, including themselves. I only discovered this when I came to Blue Star for the last time. But it was too late. By then, humans on Venus had been completely extinct for nearly 1 billion years," the robot replied.
"Extinct for nearly 1 billion years? Have you been performing the task alone all this time?" Dongfang Chen couldn't help but gasp.
"Not entirely. There were originally many relatively independent underground bases on Mars and Blue Star. My spaceship can get supplies and repairs there. But now this is the only one left. The other bases have been damaged due to frequent geological activity," the robot said.
