Chapter 116 Fish and Fishbowl

Suspected civilizations appeared in Julang Planet, which is not suitable for the emergence of intelligent creatures. The signal sent out from the "Deep Sea Observatory" was obviously intended for use in the deep sea.

This signal is specialized to travel considerable distances in water, but is not suitable for propagation in air or vacuum.

Therefore, when he was in space, Li Wenyuan did not receive any signal about this place.

"But can natives be born in this kind of place?" Not only Li Wenyuan, but also Gray Wind was quite curious about it.

Not only that, but the aborigines here seem to be living in this kind of "deep-sea observation station" built by humans, and they have even developed to a higher level.

Li Wenyuan even wondered if it was human beings again, reusing waste after the "fish tank" was used up, and setting up an observatory for sociological experiments.

Although human beings are gone, the life here is still evolving normally, and has built its own civilization around these "deep-sea observation stations".

"Go in and take a look?" Just as Li Wenyuan was about to suggest this, Gray Wind had already dispersed into a cloud of nano-storms and entered the interior through the gaps in this giant building.

And his own drone will take a while to get in.

"... Nano-robots are really easy to use. Let's replace these scientific research equipment with nano-machines..." he thought, and then received a picture from Gray Wind.

The observation station is filled with a lot of lights, and there is an artificial sun in mid-air, and the ratio of various gases in the air is almost the same as that on the earth.

Strange buildings with different functions stand inside the observation station. These buildings, which obviously imitate the style of the observation station, are somewhat nondescript, and they don't look like they were made by humans.

In addition to these things that may be related to "indigenous", the environment here is still very humid, which may be some improvements made by the creatures here in order to survive.

This giant observation station located in the deep sea can accommodate about a hundred thousand people. Maybe it was not just for observation, but maybe it was built as some kind of experimental site.

And after his drone was connected to a certain port of this observatory, his apparently much higher authority directly took over the system of this observatory.

After a cursory inspection, he already understood what it was used for.

【No. 003 Deep Sea Observation Station (now converted into the "Deep Sea Civilization Experimental Area") log record 1:】

[The research as a "fish tank" has been quite successful. According to the advice of experts, we put a primitive amphibian in one of the deep-sea observation stations]

[We have tried to cultivate civilization in the orbital station and have achieved success, so can civilization also be produced in the deep sea? 】

[With anticipation, we set up an "evolution accelerator" in the experimental stage, hoping that this group of amphibians can bring us different surprises]

"...the experimental station of civilization?" He thought of the four crouching dragon and phoenix chicks who were in the ring world before.

Under the favorable environment of the Ring World, the civilizations there were basically on the verge of destruction.

However, this kind of civilization located in the harsh environment in the deep sea here seems to be alive and well.

And Li Wenyuan also saw the record about the "evolution accelerator" in the log.

【Experimental Evolution Accelerator】

[Introduction: Too stupid primitive creatures have consumed too much of our patience. Even though genetic technology can expand their brain capacity and forcibly increase their intelligence, it is still difficult for these primitive animals to understand "civilization" It is a long process. So we decided to let it go and use fully automatic machines to speed up their natural selection, and decide the most suitable one in the cruel natural selection. We believe that after going through such a cruel test of survival, they can truly understand "civilization" the importance of]

[Special Note: Use it together with the "Civilization Accelerator", the effect will be even better! 】

It was also at this time that his database gained a brand new technology.

[Cruel Evolution Theory]

[Technology level: 5]

[Introduction: Every species that can stand at the pinnacle of the planet undoubtedly has an extremely terrifying past. They exterminated countless other creatures and experienced several changes in the world before they could reach this point in the end. But this process is still too slow. Before they form a "civilization", we can use some external means to speed up their "natural selection"]

[Possible Technology: Perfect Evolution (100%)]

Since it was only a level 5 technology, and it was still related to the evolution of species, Li Wenyuan didn't have much interest at first.

But soon he realized that this technology is "unique", that is, this level 5 technology is marked with a red skull.

In his current technology tree, only the "Natural Disaster Plan", a level 7 technology that could destroy the galaxy, has such treatment.

"...What dangers will this kind of 'cruel evolution' bring?" While he was still thinking about it, he realized that the log records belonging to humans ended here.

Maybe the people at that time originally wanted to find a time to recover the data, but their attention was quickly attracted by other things, so that they forgot that there was an "experimental area" here.

"As expected of you..." Li Wenyuan felt that this kind of casual behavior fits the style of human beings.

Although there are no records belonging to humans after that, the aborigines living here still managed to learn how to use the equipment here and built something that looks like a "local area network"

And most of their information is also recorded in the network here.

This kind of native encryption method is almost non-existent to Li Wenyuan. He easily cracked the firewall here, and then saw the "civilization development" process of this group of natives.

The observatory in front of me is limited by the environment. The civilization here has not been able to go into space, but it seems to have formed a unique civilization environment.

The most obvious is the cognition of worldview.

Since they were in this observatory when they were enlightened, in their understanding, this observatory is the "world", and then the deep sea outside is the "universe".

In their ancient mythology, a "god" created the "sky" and "earth" in the observatory, and isolated the terrifying outside world on the outer wall of the "world".

And the movements produced by the machines here to maintain the normal operation of the observatory are even understood as natural phenomena.

For example, an air humidifier hidden in the inner wall will spray water vapor every once in a while to maintain the humidity here at a level suitable for the life of this amphibian.

This is a "natural law" in the world of this group of amphibians, and there is even a decent explanation.

In addition, there is a small "dimension manufacturing machine" here, which is left by human beings to provide enough resources for the development of civilization here.

This magical "creation out of nothing" machine is also an "objective law" in the world of these amphibians. They think that the world is like this, and it is their "common sense" that there will be more resources suddenly every once in a while.

Limited by the narrow environment and content here, the amphibians here have formed a social form of scientific theocracy.

In their world, they are the sole heirs of the Creator, and the deep sea outside the observatory is a destroyed world, and their place is the last paradise. In order to find more places to live, they must develop technology.

Li Wenyuan thinks their social form is quite interesting, and this sociological experiment done by humans here is really interesting.

"...Then if they come to the surface of the ocean and see the real universe, what will they think?"

He was still thinking about this situation, and realized that there had been such a situation in the history of this group of amphibians, but it belonged to the ranks of "taboo".

Many of their scientists were curious about what lay above and below the outside world, but due to water pressure, the level of skill required to explore below was much greater, so "exploring up" became their first choice.

It's just that the dangerous ocean surface also made many scientists never return, and only one "lucky guy" successfully brought back his experience.

He said that there is a wider world above, where there is a bigger "sky" and a "black sun", and the "universe" they live in is actually only a small part of the whole world.

But his statement was dismissed as heresy, and the amphibious scientist became the first person to be convicted of "treason".

They still firmly believe that what they are used to is the "world", and "going up" has since been strictly prohibited.

And their behavior made Li Wenyuan think of a certain idiom.

In addition, he also realized other meanings of this "fish tank":

"...'Fish', will they understand that they are actually in the 'fish tank'?"

He couldn't help but look at the sky, feeling a bone-piercing chill, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Finally, after some deliberation, he recorded the story here in the archives, named "Fishbowl".
