Chapter 2353: Exiles underground (2/2)
”It was supposed to be a very advanced underground shelter at first, right?”
Li Yao patted the moss and sludge on his palms, and continued to look at the structure up and down—the town of No. 10084 was full of time tunnel-like contradictions, as if it was a combination of advanced and backward, civilized and wild, artificial and natural. All kinds of completely different feelings are put together abruptly.
Perhaps the seemingly chaotic ”vines” are the most advanced psionic pipelines in the past; what looks like stalactites are the long-dust defensive arrays; the super crystal brain that was once used to control the entire underground refuge has been used by millions of people. The years have eroded to the point where there is only one empty shell left, and the children who have long forgotten the glory of the past ”joy and hop” as the ball.
”should be.”
Li Jialing said, ”Sister Long's statement is similar to Brother Yao. Long, long ago, this place was indeed a very advanced refuge or underground base, magic treasure warehouse and the like.”
Li Yao folded his fingers, flicked the steel plate, held his breath to listen to the fine echo, and said, ”How could it be like this?”
Li Jialing said: ”Sister Long gave me two examples. The first one is geological faults. With the vicissitudes of life and the vicissitudes of time, the more ancient creatures or civilizations are, the more they will be covered by soil and rocks, and gradually fall into them. To the depths of the earth.
”If you cut the earth open to reveal faults like a thousand-layer cake, and then study the fossils embedded in the faults, you will find that the more fossils found in the upper layer, the newer the age, and the more buried deep underground. Fossils represent the older creatures and even civilizations.”
Li Yao nodded: ”This is easy to understand, what else?”
”Also, it is the ocean.”
Li Jialing said, ”The unfathomable ocean is a top-down three-dimensional ecosystem. With changes in sunlight, temperature, seawater salinity, density and pressure, it is actually an ecosystem that does not interfere with each other. The fishes living in shallow seawater may never dive into the seafloor of several kilometers or even tens of thousands of meters in their entire lives, and the giant squid living in the depths of tens of thousands of meters will never look forward to the warmth of the sun, although The same are marine creatures, but the upper layer and the lower layer have long formed two worlds that do not communicate with each other.”
Li Yaodao: ”What can these two examples illustrate?”
”Sister Long said that human civilization has developed for a full 100,000 years. From the ancient world of cultivation 40,000 years ago to the modern cultivation civilization today, in fact, different classes have gradually differentiated, human beings living on different levels, Like fossils formed in different ages, or marine creatures inhabiting different depths, they are people in different worlds. Even if you don’t distinguish between “real people” or “primitives,” this distinction is destined to exist. , Turning a blind eye, does not solve the problem.”
Li Jialing said, ”As early as 40,000 years ago, the erosion of the weak by the strong never stopped for a day or even a second. The weak who could not resist the strong had no choice but to flee.
”Some of the weak have fled from the plains to the rugged and barren mountainous areas, and some of the weak have continued to wander deep underground, and as the strong's claws extend to the ground, they flee step by step to deeper places.
”In the beginning, this kind of escape was sporadic, spontaneous, and unsystematic.
”At the beginning of the Great Dark Age 40,000 years ago, when the Monster Race replaced the Human Race to rule the Xinghai, those humans who were unwilling to be ruled by the Monster Race were the main force for the first large-scale'advancement to the underground'.
”When the cruel rule of the monster race was overthrown ten thousand years ago, the human race launched an extremely **** retaliatory killing against the monster race. The human race, full of 30,000 years of hatred and anger, vowed to kill the last monster race, so, There was another large-scale escape to the ground, but this time the fugitive became a monster.
”The good times are not long. The Xinghai Empire established by the human race has just crossed the checkpoint of a thousand-year rule and faced the cruelest civil war. The flames of war have swept through almost every large world. Countless human races who have joined hands against the monster race in the past have broken up and become deadly enemies. , So, the third large-scale underground flight followed one after another.
”The next ten thousand years will be the endless **** battles of the Stars and Seas. The battlefields of warriors such as the extreme heavens and the celestial stars are naturally the center of the war. Countless people who have lost their homes have fled to the ground one after another. It's not surprising.
”Generations of fugitives constitute the main body of the underground residents. They regard the refuges, military bases, and magic warehouses built by various races and forces in the past dynasties as new homes. This is the origin of most underground towns.
”Naturally, the residents who escaped into the ground later tended to live on the shallower the surface, while the earlier the residents who escaped into the ground, their living space was constantly squeezed by the latecomers, and they had to continue to flee downwards and slowly settle down. Go deep underground, like here.”
