prehistoric calendar

Ever since Wu Ming learned that the true face of human beings in this era is just a group of the most primitive primitive people, he has been thinking about a question, where did human beings come from?

There is no mention of this in any books. There is only one sentence in all the books on human research and records, which comes out of thin air.

A good thing comes out of thin air, what exactly does it mean that it comes out of thin air?

Wu Ming's long-held speculation is that the Prehistoric Continent is so big that the places where all races gather, breed, and move together are less than one-tenth of the Prehistoric Continent, and the remaining nine-tenths are desolate and uninhabited.

In these areas, there are the most primitive biological systems, which have not been disturbed by any intelligent creatures for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

Human beings may have been born in these desolate and inhabited areas. In these areas, ape-men evolved into humans, and then left these desolate and inhabited areas to enter the civilized realm of all races.

This was Wu Ming's initial speculation, but this speculation had too many flaws and unreasonablenesses, the biggest of which was the issue of quantity.

There are hundreds of millions of humans in the entire prehistoric continent. This is not Wu Ming's random guess, but a joint guess based on the business alliance.

There are about 80 million human slaves in the entire business alliance. This is based on the constant "consumption" of the entire business alliance. According to the answer of a slave trader asked by Wu Ming, his slave organization will be established at a fixed time.

Humans are captured in the wild at a fixed location, and the number of each capture is about one hundred thousand, once a year. This is called harvesting in their jargon, and they are harvested like growing crops.

And every year, the business alliance needs to "consume" about 30 million humans, and the number of arrests is also about 3,000. This is still the annual consumption, such as hard labor, which dwarves like to buy for humans to carry out large-scale operations.

Labor force excavation work, various minerals, etc., has a very high mortality rate. Then dwarfs, goblins, and high goblins will also buy humans for labor or for experiments, while vampires and other undead are also consumed by humans.

For large households, most of the vampires' food comes from humans, and the undead also consume a lot of souls. Thirty million humans every year are like crops to the entire business alliance.

Although Wu Ming is not a sociology or medical expert, he can probably calculate that there will be 30 million more humans every year, which means that the base of humans must be at least 500 million.

It does not mean that there are 60 million human beings, including 30 million males and 30 million females, and then they give birth to one child a year, which means there are 30 million newborns. This is not how it is calculated. This is a number, not a life.

As a life, it is necessary to maintain the food, drinking water, and resist the harsh natural environment, as well as the invasion of wild animals, etc. First, assume that there are no other intelligent creatures except humans in the primitive continent. In this case,

According to the productivity level of primitive society, as well as illness and casualties, as well as the death of newborns, etc., all put together, let alone 500 million, there may be a total population of one billion, and there may not necessarily be 30 million newborns in a year.

In addition, the population is gradually aging, there are accidental deaths, etc. To maintain the business alliance, which consumes 30 million humans per year, the human wild base must be at least 3 billion or more to maintain it, and that is only

It is maintenance. As adult humans gradually age, 30 million humans are consumed every year, and even billions of humans will gradually decline and become completely extinct within a hundred years.

And the question here is, are there billions of humans in the wilderness areas of the entire Business Alliance territory!?

Not to mention billions, I’m afraid there are not even 50 million human beings in total!!

This is a primitive society. During the primitive society, a tribe had thousands of people. This was a large tribe. It was the kind that could dominate the primitive tribes on the earth. With the productivity level of primitive tribes, in addition to gathering food,

If you hunt and don’t know how to grow food, how much land is needed to support billions of humans? Even tens of millions of humans may not be able to support it!!

Then... where did human beings come from?

Wu Ming has consulted a large number of books. These books have a certain general introduction to each race of the prehistoric tribes. For example, the origin of the second tribe of the prehistoric tribes, the Titan tribe, was created by their ancestors, the ancestors of the Titans. The Titan tribe

They are the dependents of the Titan Ancestor. Similarly, the Earth Spirit Clan was created by the High Saint Varro, the Earth Spirit Ancestor, and the Elf Clan was created by the Smurfs, the High Saint Smurf, the ancestor of the Elves, etc.

Etc. Basically, the origins of all races in the prehistoric times were created by higher-level beings. This has almost become a public opinion.

This is completely different from the situation in the world without demons. Life in the world without demons evolves on its own, but the origin of life in the prehistoric continent is shaped by the existence of innate demons, high-level saints, etc., so in these books

There is a concept mentioned in both of them, and that is the concept of ancestors.

It is said that if a certain ethnic group is an intelligent creature, then this ethnic group must have a saint-level ancestor, either one or several. The first saint-level ancestor of the group is called the ancestor, and the second or third saint-level ancestor is called the ancestor.

The two, the third, the fourth and so on are added together and are called clans, and the ancestors can give this group of people enough powerful talents, body, spirit, magic power, etc., and the ancestors are definitely the most powerful existence of this group.

If it is a non-intelligent creature, its ancestor can be as low as a demigod, and its ancestor is also the strongest being of the group.

What about... humans!?

Where are the ancestors of mankind!?

The answer is no. Human beings have no ancestors. Human beings have not mentioned the existence of ancestors in any books, and some saints even directly made remarks, saying that if human beings had ancestors, heaven and earth would not target human beings, because

The holy position itself is a position of authority given by heaven and earth. If human beings have ancestors, they will be one with heaven and earth. Human beings are the existence of this side of heaven and earth and will not be targeted again.

Moreover, if humans have ancestors, they can change their life factors, so that humans can also learn extraordinary energy and have their own extraordinary path.

But these remarks are just that. What really makes Wu Ming confused is that since human beings have no ancestors and are not shaped by any existence, then how did the human beings in the ancient continent come from!?

Come out of nowhere...

Wu Ming felt that he was thinking too much. When he first saw these four words, the feeling he had was that those ancient races created by existence did not think that human beings evolved from apes were really born in this way, so they said

It came out of nowhere.

But now that he has checked the number of humans in the entire business alliance, he truly knows that humans really come out of thin air. To put it simply, it is exactly what it says.

In order to verify all this, Wu Ming even took the map of the slave trader and went to the wild where humans were captured. Then he saw with his own eyes that tens of thousands of humans appeared out of thin air in the wild one night. These humans were very ignorant. Then they dispersed in the wild and naturally formed dozens of tribes, large and small, and lived in the wild naturally, just like real primitive tribes.

Lucifer was also traveling with her, but she turned a blind eye to all this. It was only after these humans who appeared out of thin air had completely dispersed and disappeared without a trace that she curiously asked Wu Ming why he was staying here.

Not only Lucifer, the skeleton magician, the Argonian magician, and even the demigod Ice Scythe, but Wu Ming asked everyone who could be asked, including Ziya from the blood clan. Once Wu Ming talked about human beings coming out of thin air. , everyone felt a brief but obvious sense of pause, and then they ignored Wu Ming's mention of appearing out of thin air, as if the number of human beings was completely normal.

Wu Ming only felt horrified. The whole world seemed to turn a blind eye to this biggest anomaly. Only he could know, detect, and speak out. The rest of the people, including Ziya from the Blood Clan, all just said "Wild", and then they seemed to be forced by something. It's like diverting attention.

Wu Ming felt really creepy. What he thought of for a moment was the brain in the vat.

Perhaps, he is still on the earth, and has never traveled to the prehistoric heavenly government, nor to the prehistoric era. Everything is just the evil scientists who took his brain and shaped it out of thin air. The number of humans is a program bug. He noticed the bug, but the information shaped by the brain in the vat could not be recognized, so...

"No, that's not right!"

Wu Ming arrived at the top of the magic tower anxiously, not caring about the skeleton magician, the ice sickle, the Argonian magician, and Lucifer's surprised eyes. Eight runes appeared above his head, and the eight runes condensed in the sky. , then four pieces merged into the void, and four pieces merged into the ground.

"Virtual Nascent Soul... comes out!"

Wu Ming forcibly used his computing power to calculate his Nascent Soul. This is a virtual technology that can only be achieved when you have enough computing power. The essence of the Nascent Soul is that runes are condensed together with the soul of life. At this moment, Wu Ming's consciousness, thoughts, memories and other things can be temporarily transferred to Nascent Soul. At this moment, he no longer needs to use his brain to calculate everything.

"The Nascent Soul can function. After blocking out all signals from the brain, I am still me, and the world is still this world... This is not a brain in a vat, a world without demons, or a world without a soul that cannot be verified or falsified. In the brain, for a world with demons and souls, it is not difficult to verify and falsify..."

"So I have indeed traveled to the prehistoric heaven, and I have indeed traveled to the prehistoric continent. This world is real, not a virtual program, nor a brain in a vat. In that case..."

Although Wu Ming proved that he was not a brain in a vat, this actually made him even more horrified, because the existence of human beings is really like a bug in the multiverse. All life, and it is not yet certain whether the holy status is the same. But at least all the lives that Wu Ming knows so far will turn a blind eye to humans who appear out of thin air. This reminds Wu Ming of some self-set science fiction short films he has seen on the earth. One of the SCP things contains D-class personnel appeared out of thin air, but the whole world turned a blind eye to these D-class personnel who appeared out of thin air.

"What is the meaning of my coming to the prehistoric calendar? And..."

"What is the meaning of our human existence!?"
