Chapter 1230 (2/2)

Jiang Chen nodded.

So he can understand.

After all, he didn't have antennae, and he didn't know how to turn his ideas into electromagnetic waves and send them out. And Gaia's golden age is probably the same as the Internet age that earth civilization entered at the end of the 20th century.

The meaning of nerve augmentation device to Gaia is probably the same as phantom helmet to human.

All needs can be met in the virtual, and all individuals are happier than ever before.”If you want me, who has been dead for 3.7 billion years, to sum up the differences between our two civilizations, I think it is probably the understanding of the word happiness. As we enter the ”era of neural amplification”, our spiritual needs have been met as never before, and what remains to be unsatisfied is probably the obsession with metal itself. ”

”I remember saying that we are very sensitive to the smell of minerals. This sensitivity has not changed in tens of thousands of years. We are immersed in the happiness surrounded by metal. The pursuit of iron ore and other metals, or greed, is probably the driving force for the development of our civilization. ”

”And this greed, in the end, turned into a deadly poison.”

At this point, the sound of the light ball takes a bit of emotion.

”Poisonous wine?” Jiang Chen asked.

”That's right,” the light ball shook gently. ”I'll show you a look, and you'll understand.”

Over thousands of years, the picture has changed again.

Rippling in the air, following the footsteps of the light ball, Jiang Chen crossed a layer of transparent film and came to a spherical space completely made of metal. In this spherical space, there are three-dimensional distribution of strange machines, connected by alloy skeleton.

”You can't feel it just by looking at it,” the ball whispered. ”We're standing in the core of Mars, and this planetary melting pot is the greatest crystallization of our civilization.”

”Planets The furnace? ”

Jiang Chen swallowed and vomited hard.

He could not imagine that these species, called Gaia, had dug through the whole planet 3.7 billion years ago! Even the entire core of Mars has been transformed into a furnace for smelting iron or other alloys, turning the whole planet into their factory.

Planetary melting pot.

Crazy is not enough to describe their behavior

Calmly looking at the shock on Jiang Chen's face, the light ball continued to say.

”Our industry is extremely developed. When the earth's crust didn't satisfy our appetite, we dug the mine into the mantle, and the local mantle was not enough to meet our needs. We focused on the core. The earth's core is rich in mineral resources. Iron is like the ocean here. Even if we only draw a little from it, it will make our civilization move forward a great step forward... ”

At this point, the light ball paused and sighed softly.

”But you also know that once something takes its first step, it never stops.”

”Time has weathered everything and blown the steel we forged for hundreds of centuries into scrap iron. See the sand out there? Every rusty gravel is Gaia's tears... ”
