The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 63 New Research Directions

According to research, it was found that these bugs all breathe aerobically, and the oxygen concentration they adapt to is about 16%-20%.

This is very good news: it means that the oxygen content of the parallel world is about the same as that of the earth!

The current level of human technology does not have the ability to create a completely sealed large-scale ecosystem. In the original "Biosphere 2" experiment, eight people survived for less than two years, and the ecosystem was paralyzed. A closed ecosystem of more than 100,000 people is completely unimaginable given the current technological strength.

But now, after learning about the oxygen concentration in the parallel world, scientists are greatly relieved. As long as gas exchange with the outside world can be carried out, maintaining the ecology will be much simpler. Many preparations can be given up directly and go. Turn in other directions.

You can prepare less oxygen tanks and the like, but instead install a large air filtration device in the shelter.

Only preparation in the right direction will be more conducive to the future survival of mankind.

The second batch cleared out were various weird props made from insect derivatives. They were all kinds of things. Some looked like decorations and could be worn on the hands or around the neck; some It's just a big pile of haystacks covered with the corpses of centipedes and ants. It's disgusting.

There are also some little people who are simply tied up with straw, but due to the age, the straw has fallen apart. I don't know what the use of these things is.

One of the descriptions said: "We have not detected any supernatural power on these objects. It cannot be ruled out that these objects have lost their supernatural powers due to their age."

This is quite regrettable.

What was cleared out in the third batch was all kinds of furniture, pots and pans, just some very ordinary things anyway.

"From these items, we can infer the cultural heritage of this civilization. We believe that the culture of this ancient civilization may be similar to some areas of Xia Kingdom."

"But it's just similar...it's still unclear what it is like."

The effective information obtained from these materials is less than expected. In particular, people have not found a large amount of written materials, which is a bit surprising.

Lu Yiming swallowed.

He clicked on the institute's internal forum and checked it out.

Sure enough, many researchers inside were already discussing this matter with great interest. Debts are overwhelming, and the world is getting weirder and weirder. First, a notebook from a parallel world appears, and then an ancient sailing ship appears in the Yang River.

Moreover, these two civilizations are completely different civilizations. The civilization behind the notebook has a technological level equivalent to that of human beings on earth at the end of the 20th century; the civilization represented by ancient sailing ships is exactly the technological level of the Ming Dynasty or Tang Dynasty, and can be sunk by a single missile.

What exactly is in the Yang River?

Have all the different civilizations fled?

this is a big problem!

The atmosphere inside the forum is much better than that on the outside network. Most of the people here are senior intellectuals, and a lot of the content is informative, not just talking nonsense.

"According to scientists' speculation, on the surface, this is a civilization that is good at raising insects...these insects may even be legendary Gu insects with certain special abilities!"

"Some props have something in common with some witchcraft culture in the Miao border of our country. Of course, this is just speculation. We have applied for animal experiments. We don't know if animals will mutate after eating the corpses of these bugs..."

Next comes various professional theoretical analyses.

Lu Yiming couldn't understand what these people were talking about. Literally, some new protein structures were discovered in the bodies of these bugs, which may affect the normal operation of the human nervous system...

Another biologist commented in the post: "Through the analysis of the structure of organisms, we strongly suspect that some bugs will penetrate into the brains of organisms, control the brains of organisms through these weird proteins, and force the organisms to make certain actions. action."

"Don't be surprised... There are similar situations in nature. For example, when iron worms parasitize among praying mantises, they force the mantises to look for water sources and die next to the water sources, allowing the iron worms to breed."

"The parasites of mice will make them fascinated by the smell of cats, forcing them to run in front of cats and let cats eat them. Then these parasites can successfully parasitize in the hands of cats."

"We don't yet know what a parasite with superpowers looks like and what effects it will have... Whether it can parasitize in the human brain and control human thinking is worth studying and guarding against. .”

Lu Yiming shuddered, this was... a bit scary.

He clicked on the next post.

I saw an introduction inside: "Our working group discovered many new materials on the wooden sailboat. Most of these materials are the silk of insects, which are extremely strong. An ancient sailboat can persist at sea for three hundred years, and most of them are made of these special filaments. The credit goes to the materials, otherwise the wood alone would have been completely rotten.”

“The strength of this new material is comparable to our carbon nanotubes!”

"The most important thing is that there are some new materials that can repel shipworms and reduce corrosion."

Shipworms are shellfish that like to cling to the bottom of boats. If there are too many such shells attached to the ground, it will easily affect the normal operation of the boat, and the wood or metal will rot quickly.

This post, in a fanatical tone, constantly promotes the significance of this new material.

This enthusiastic tone sounds a bit like Professor Huang's research laboratory.

Of course, it is always good to have a new research direction.

Next post.

"... We found some hieroglyphics carved on a sailing ship in a small room. This should be a prison, and some messages carved by desperate prisoners with their fingernails... Only a small amount of blood stains were found here, and some Insect carcasses.”

"There are many differences in the science and technology culture of various civilizations, but they also have some similarities. At least in a small part, they overlap. We are sending ancient language experts from the southern Xinjiang region to try to decipher these words. "

"However, the number of these texts is so small that it is extremely difficult to decipher them."

"But it also directly proves that this civilization has a written language, but what about the text materials on the ship? We found almost no books recorded in written form on the ship. Because of the lack of information, the value of the loot this time has shrunk a lot. "

"I have a big question here. No traces of serious fighting were found on the ancient sailing ship, and there were not many valuable trophies. So why did the indigenous people on the ship disappear?"

This issue is the core of this operation.

It involves the important issue of whether "Yang River" is safe, and also concerns the future of mankind!

Lu Yiming thought about it for a while and believed that humankind's technological strength was still far stronger than this ancient sailing ship. A single missile could sink this sailing ship.

But in terms of supernatural power, it's hard to say. There are too few human studies on superpowers. The civilization represented by this ancient sailing ship should have mastered a small amount of extraordinary power, including insects raised in bottles and jars, and may also have skills such as witchcraft and curses.

"So who is stronger and who is weaker? I think if we really fight, we will be stronger..."

If this ancient civilization can survive the "Yang River", then humans don't have to worry too much. If soldiers come to block it, and water comes to cover it, there will always be some way.

If this ancient civilization is completely destroyed, then the future of mankind will not be optimistic, and we must be more careful in the future.
