The world enters the age of myth

Since it was Lu Yiming's invitation, Jin Lili was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Wait a minute, I'll send a text message to Sister Yuan to ask for leave!"

The two came to a newly opened cafe, and she took a leisurely sip of coffee with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

The latest batch of sugar beets has matured and can be used to produce sucrose, which in turn can be used to make desserts. The quality of life has been getting better and better recently.

Lu Yiming ordered some pastries and said with a smile: "You have really made a profit... Now that it has been determined that the future is the era of biological creatures, you should resign as the sheriff and engage in research work, right?"

"There is really a shortage of talents in this direction."

Jin Lili, who was sitting in front of her, nodded. She carefully picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. She said, "Yeah, I'm not like you anyway. Even if I have the ability to regenerate, no matter how thick my blood volume is, I can't compare to those." A real monster, so after thinking twice, just go behind the scenes and engage in scientific research..."

"Anyway, it matches my major in college. By the way, I recently registered the invention patent for Jinlili brand potion. How much do you think it's worth?"

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little funny: "If the production of that kind of wound medicine can be expanded, the valuation may be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If the production cannot be expanded, forget it, haha."

"Expand production...you want to sell me! It's like what is described in some science fiction novels, blood transfusion and bleeding at the same time, right?"

"This is a good idea! Does other people's blood have the ability to regenerate after it is transfused into your body?"

Jin Lili glared, "Well, the cake here tastes good. You should try it too."

Lu Yiming can still understand her choice. It is also good for girls to do some research work, and their contributions are not necessarily lower than those of front-line workers.

Women can also hold up half the sky.

However, he felt a little regretful that he would not be able to work in the same office in the future. After all, Lu Yiming was the only female friend with whom he could talk.

From now on, I can only interact with a group of big men. Thinking about it, I feel a little dissatisfied... But this kind of thinking is just a thought, and I will definitely not say it out loud.

Jin Lili held her chin with one hand and looked out the window. She seemed to be in a good mood: "With this piece of scientific and technological information, our understanding of life sciences has been greatly increased. Perhaps, those things that were originally difficult to crack The mysterious mechanism can also be cracked."

"Let me give you a few examples. Why can my blood bring certain regenerative abilities? How can I regenerate severed limbs? What is the nature of human superpowers? How can I enhance human mental resistance?"

"How to culture synthetic meat better and faster? Now that Yunhai's breeding industry is limited, meat products must be cultivated through scientific and technological means... These are very good research contents. If we study all these issues, Our lives will definitely be better than they are now.”

"The current results are just the beginning! Maybe there will be more scientific research output in the future."

Lu Yiming frowned and said: "If it's really so troublesome, just explore the laboratory again. There is still a lot of information there that has not been moved out. The first time is alive, the second time is familiar. We also have some understanding of the monsters inside, so bring some Targeted weapons might be able to deal with it calmly.”

"This...maybe not possible. There is no need to take such a risk."

Jin Lili shook her head, "Not to mention that there are many strange things that only our Yunhai possesses. For example, the drop of blue potion that can regenerate severed limbs is extracted from the blood of many superpowers among the people on earth. White It is impossible to have a fog civilization, so it is impossible to have relevant research data...In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."

"What's more, we believe that most of the information has been moved out. It may not be cost-effective to spend a few nuclear bombs and a large number of conventional weapons to enter the mainland for a second time."

"This is true."

Lu Yiming sighed. Without nuclear weapons and the cover of various firepower weapons, it would be too dangerous to go deep into the mainland.

Even if it is only a mere 80 kilometers away, it is still as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.

This brings up the issue of costs and benefits. Things like gasoline bombs can be barely replenished because humans can grow plants and refine alcohol.

Powerful nuclear weapons and various high-power missiles cannot be replenished once they are used up.

If the cost is too high. The harvest is limited, and it is not cost-effective.

Jin Lili glanced at him and said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. According to the documents of Baiwu Civilization, the monsters we encountered are just relatively elementary life forms and can be solved with missiles. When we encounter other monsters It’s hard to say what kind of super life it is.”

"What do you mean? Is there another super life?" Lu Yiming's breathing stagnated slightly.

She smiled and explained: "In the information about Baiwu Civilization, there are also some scientists who are studying supernatural phenomena. They have a very strange saying that the appearance of Baiwu is probably to give birth to a supernatural life like a god. Body—Gaia!”

Lu Yiming said: "Gaia...do they have religious beliefs? Do they also have this word?"

"It should have a similar pronunciation. I'm not sure. Anyway, that's how the translation experts translated it."

"Okay..." Lu Yiming was stunned, not knowing what to say, because this term also exists in some human myths and legends.

The birth of the same noun may be just an accident, or it may be inevitable among accidents. For example, among thousands of languages ​​​​in the world, the pronunciation of "mother" is almost universal.

It’s just that no one knows the connection for a while.

Jin Lili seemed to be thinking about the connection, and she added: "The White Mist Civilization has reached a conclusion through long-term observation: as long as the life forms here prey on each other and devour each other, they will be able to gain strength."

"Yes." Lu Yiming nodded.

"There are even second, third, and fourth evolutions..."

"Then what will happen if we continue to eat each other for countless years?"

She said word by word: "That is, the most powerful life form appears! That is Gaia!"

"No one knows what it will grow into. It may be comparable to the gods we imagine! It will have multiple supernatural abilities, and may evolve wisdom beyond humans! These are all possible!"

As Jin Lili described, Lu Yiming's face became more and more solemn.

But I have to admit that the reasoning of Baiwu Civilization is very reasonable, and this possibility exists.

"A god-like existence? Appearing in this way is really... creepy."

Jin Lili also sighed: "...so that later on, the original residents here could not defeat the increasingly powerful monsters, so they had no choice but to flee as a family."

"According to the records in the literature, the monsters in the depths of the continent are much more powerful than those on the seaside. Each creature is as big as a small mountain, with a mass of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons. Every step of the way is like an earthquake. It's incredible. If we don't use nuclear weapons, we won't be able to kill them."

"That was decades ago, and no one knows what it will turn into now."

"Maybe it will become larger and spray people to death with just one breath."

"So most scholars in the laboratory believe that we should not be too radical. The existing research data is already quite abundant. If it provokes a Godzilla-like existence with a mass of tens of thousands of tons, we will kill it. I can’t even afford it.”

Lu Yiming nodded. People's hearts are not like snakes swallowing elephants. Everyone knows that it seems that they can't rush in again.

People cannot expect everything to be provided by Baiwu Civilization. There are always some things that need to be studied by oneself.

He asked again: "So, does the White Mist Civilization have any primitive religious records about the god Gaia? The white mist should be regarded as a manifestation of spiritual power, right?"

"Of course there is...you can take a look at this information." Jin Lili sent him something on her phone.

According to some primitive religious records of the White Mist Civilization, the original appearance of the world was a thick layer of white mist.

The white mist is the true origin of Gaia.

Gaia was born from the white mist. She is the god who created all things and is the only true god.

[The moon and the sun are the incarnations of Gaia, revolving around the planet. 】

Lu Yiming frowned and found that there were all kinds of messy nonsense inside, which is a common primitive religion on the earth. Its basic characteristics include mysterious concepts and prayers for food, reproduction, ancestors, death, all things in nature, and social groups. worship, and thus developed the belief and worship of supernatural gods.

There are many fallacies in it, including "the sun revolves around the earth", which is obviously impossible.

"Rain is the tears of God", "white mist nourishes all things", "Gaia's body turns into the earth, blood turns into rivers" and so on, it seems a bit inexplicable. Primitive religion itself is the ancient people's explanation of the world, which is based on subjective consciousness.

Finally, there are various punishments for apostates, such as "turning into livestock in the next life", "going to hell and being punished" and so on.

The only difference is that this religion believes that for apostates, the god Gaia will deprive the person of his body, occupy his spirit, and reawaken on this earth through physical rebirth.

[At that time, the white mist will reappear, and the whole world will be re-established. Gaia will also reappear. 】

Lu Yiming frowned: "Okay, this mythical story has the charm of Cthulhu... Moreover, the facts currently happening in the White Mist Continent are actually somewhat consistent with these myths and legends? I can't help but think of our earth. The great flood in the world was actually predicted by myths... Do you think it is the rules of idealism that are at work?"

"It is possible."

That’s it for today’s update!
