Chapter 583: Evolutionary Fragments

In the process of biological evolution, there are three most obvious points. The evolution from lower organisms to higher organisms is the starting point and the end of the entire biological evolution process. At the same time, this process is also the longest and never-ending. process, and intermediate organisms are an intermediate process between lower organisms evolving into higher organisms. It is a transitional stage. However, in many biological evolutionary histories, a conclusion can be drawn. The intermediate stage is very short in the process of biological evolution. and important process. Intermediate organisms can also be said to be an indispensable process for the evolution of low-level organisms to high-level organisms. It is a process and bridge that lower organisms must go through, just like a person's adolescent period. It is an indispensable step from boyhood to youth. It is a small process, but its existence is vague and fleeting. In the process of biological evolution, the unnatural oxidation society and the natural reduction society in the intermediate biological stage can also be said to be the bridge among the bridges in the process of life evolution and civilization.

The oxygen component in the air has always been an important factor in biological evolution, but this oxygen is not the kind of oxygen we call modern oxygen, but a much larger concept, which includes everything from the birth of the earth to the end of the world. All oxygen, including the oxygen in the turbid period, the oxygen that was initially separated, the oxygen that was formed, and the oxygen that is now full of viruses. At the very beginning, primitive life survived and reproduced on the earth. Eventually, the oxygen accumulation process occurred, forming the biosphere of life on earth. Oxygen became the main part of the atmosphere and an integral part of the life cycle. Until now, many living creatures that have existed have relied on oxygen. Changes in content and oxygen composition have led to the evolution of ever-changing appearances and states of life on Earth. Therefore, oxygen is the most important external substance that constitutes the evolution of life and civilization on earth. On Earth, the origin of life can be traced back to the evolution and synthesis of the Earth's atmosphere. The evolution of the atmosphere is of special significance because it creates conditions for the emergence of life.

In the peaceful times before the end of the world, scientists from various countries have speculated that the evolution of the earth's atmosphere can be roughly divided into three generations. The first generation of atmosphere, the primitive atmosphere, may have escaped in the early stages of the earth's evolution. The second-generation atmosphere is the result of physical and chemical reactions of internal materials during the process of the earth's gravity and the gradual shrinkage of original earth materials. Heavy materials sank into the core and light materials floated up. Finally, the layered structure of today's crust, mantle and core was formed. What is squeezed out is called reduced atmosphere. The third generation is a mixed-color atmosphere, which is regional. In the hundreds of years before the end of the world, humans have become the dominant force on the earth with the help of technology. Every part of nature has been affected by humans. In cities, the atmosphere has become a kind of energy that can make living things Objects that survive also harm humans. In mountainous rural areas, the part of the atmosphere that harms humans is greatly reduced. In inaccessible natural environments, this harm factor is almost zero.

Various chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere and the earth's surface have caused a large number of organic compounds such as amino acids, nucleotides, and monosaccharides to appear on the earth's surface, which originally had only inorganic substances. These organic substances continue to undergo chemical reactions and gradually polymerize from simple organic substances. Complex organic matter, biological macromolecule proteins and nucleic acids appeared. These proteins and nucleic acids were slowly stored and aggregated in seawater. After hundreds of millions of years of long-term development, life monomers with self-replicating functions finally appeared. With the emergence of life monomers, the evolution of life in the process of natural selection has begun. Life monomers have evolved in an increasingly complex direction, first as primitive single-celled organisms, and then in two directions. First, the autotrophic function is strengthened and the motor function is degraded, evolving into single-cell algae and becoming the evolutionary source of the plant world. The other direction is the enhancement of motor function and heterotrophic function, the degradation of autotrophic function, and the evolution into single-celled protozoa, becoming the evolutionary source of the animal kingdom.

But the knowledge that has been deduced only rests on the known and excavated antiquities. Therefore, in peaceful times, scientists have raised questions about whether there was a civilization that was more developed than the present one before the known civilization. However, due to various reasons, this civilization collapsed, and even the traces disappeared over time. On Earth.

This kind of reasoning in peacetime is not groundless. The time since the birth of the earth can be measured in billions of years, and the creatures living on the earth have also experienced five mass extinctions, with constant repetition between rebirth and destruction. The most recent mass extinction was also 65 million years ago. Therefore, people have absolutely reason to believe that there were still some unknown civilizations before the four mass extinctions. Perhaps the extent of the development of these civilizations is far beyond what people can understand now. Unfortunately, it is due to some irresistible factors. , it may be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, which caused these advanced civilizations to suffer a devastating blow. Therefore, the earth's periodic climate changes will lead to the periodic origin and evolution of advanced intelligent creatures.

However, even so, many people deny the existence of prehistoric civilization. They believe that prehistoric civilization is just some people who were influenced by many myths, legends and religious classics, thus producing some illusory and nihilistic history with strong perceptual thinking. , that is, the so-called prehistoric civilization, and since the ancient European Renaissance, the literary world has begun to follow such a path, using the splendor of myths and legends to modify a historical figure or historical event, deifying it and then deifying it. , and finally became a character on par with the gods. If you think that prehistoric civilization is real based on logical judgment, you are undoubtedly agreeing that the legends recorded in religious classics are also real, and at the same time you are also identifying those who were deified. Historical figures also possess supernatural powers. This is undoubtedly absurd to modern scientists. What's more, due to the influence of modern technology, the most commonly used c-14 method can only measure history within five thousand years. Once it exceeds At this limit, all history seems extra nihilistic.

However, less than a year after the end of the world, this mystery that had troubled mankind for hundreds of years was solved by survivors at the time. An ancient relic from deep underground proved to the world that this place was still a distant place. Civilization is covered up in the dust of history for some reason.

Ancient divine civilization! A prehistoric civilization with ultra-high technology that was hundreds of times higher than the current level. However, due to an inevitable war, this glorious civilization was eventually overturned and became an inconspicuous little thing in the history of billions of years. trace.

What Feng Ya never expected was that the slate that appeared in the cloaked man's hand was not a superpower or a monster's natural function, but an evolutionary fragment from an ancient source!
