Chapter 232 Development History
This is... an icy void.
The massive star shines brightly in the distance, but fails to bring warmth to the region.
In this ethereal void, there are some objects floating - fragments of metal.
These fragments vary in size, but they are basically no more than one meter in size. They are slowly floating around in a position far away from the star...
Why are these fragments here? No living thing knows how they got there.
However, there are some creatures that have inhabited this place from a long time ago, they live on the cold metal block, some creatures feed on the energy of stars, and some creatures, they capture other creatures on it.
Among these creatures, there is a tiny creature... a crystal chameleon.
They have lived in this wonderful place since their ancestors, and they have never seen a tumbler or a foothold larger than a meter.
However, they survived.
These creatures are scattered and gathered on some fragments in small communities. The original crystal chameleons are very fragile... They are very small and have no ability to leave their fragments.
If you accidentally get out of the debris, you may drift in the void forever, so the crystal zard has strong claws to grab the 'ground' under his feet.
However, they also have one problem to solve - food.
Crystal Zards don't have the ability to use light to generate energy, but these creatures can't leave their fragments, so they can only wait.
In fact, all the creatures that live here are just waiting for the fragments to collide with each other. to come into contact with other creatures.
Crystal Zard also lived a life of waiting at first. without hitting other debris. They go into a state of sleep, only to wake up when they wait for other fragments to collide with their own.
Then, step on other fragments to hunt the creatures there. Sometimes the crystal zard colony is too large, and it will also be divided into two colonies at this time, some stay in the original fragment, and some step on the new fragment.
This kind of life seems to have lasted for a long time.
The randomness of this life is great.
Because they don't know what the creatures of that shard look like after hitting another shard, and if they are too powerful, they themselves will be hunted.
They didn't even know if the other fragment had any creatures.
This era should be regarded as the 'primitive era' of the Crystal Zards. Their lives are very difficult, but they are also different from the various creatures here...
Crystal Zard's intelligence is higher.
Slowly, they started to figure it out, because there were many finer pieces on these pieces. Crystal Zard began to use these fragments to piece something together.
They create weapons, traps, and more. Increased their odds of winning against other Shard Unknown creatures.
These crystal chameleons only made simple things at first, but later their technology became more and more powerful, and they could make more useful things.
However, no matter how strong the manufacturing ability is, they cannot leave their small fragments.
What really brought the crystal zard to a turning point in its life was... some changes in this space.
The fragments originally floating in the void were all monolithic, with only occasional small debris on them, but... at some point, these fragments changed.
They start to come together.
After colliding with each other, many scattered metal pieces were no longer scattered, but gathered together as if they were stuck.
Crystal Zard noticed this wonderful change, and soon, they began to plan to approach these massively gathered metal fragments...
But oddly enough, these clumps of metal seldom collided with the shards where the crystal chameleons were staying, and they often flew past in close proximity.
So the crystal chameleons also adopted the most direct method, they jumped directly from their own fragments to those gathered metal clusters.
This method has certain dangers, but many crystal chameleons have also successfully landed on the metal cluster.
These metal clusters are very special, they attract many fragments around them, but there are some specific fragments that are not attracted, and the small colonies of crystal chameleons are usually on those specific fragments that are not attracted.
Although the crystal chameleons don't know what's going on, they reach new places by leaping, and in the metal cluster, they start a new life.
There are usually many other creatures in these metal clusters besides the crystal chameleons, which gave the crystal chameleons sufficient food, and they began to develop rapidly.
However, in the process of development, Crystal Zard found that some metal clusters will not continue to grow after increasing to a certain size, while some metal clusters will keep growing.
As a result, the crystal chameleons began to migrate to those larger metal clusters, and some metal clusters would keep growing, and the crystal chameleons usually moved where they saw which was bigger.
This era has been referred to as the 'migration era' by the crystal chameleons. From the beginning, they waited to move around on their own initiative.
At the same time, the Crystal Zards are also slowly breaking away from the previous 'primitive' stage in the process, because there are a large number of small parts on each metal cluster, and the Crystal Zards use these parts to combine more and more complex. thing.
The manufacture of crystal zards is progressing very fast. From the simple tools at the beginning to the complicated machinery at the back, it didn't take long, probably hundreds of years in the time of the virtual people.
And the lives of the crystal chameleons are slowly changing as they develop.
These metal clusters are getting bigger and bigger, and the structures inside them are becoming more and more complex. Not only the crystal chameleons, but also many kinds of creatures are attracted to the metal clusters.
As a result, the crystalzards found that they no longer needed to move around, and some crystalzard groups chose to live in the inner layer of the huge metal cluster and began to build their own cities inside.
At this time, through the mechanical technology they invented by themselves, the Crystal Zards established a quite large country, but because the Crystal Zards themselves are very small, no matter how huge their country is, they will not occupy too many positions.
Within the entire metal cluster, there is still a lot of space for other creatures to live in. At the same time, the Crystal Zard also hunts those creatures for a living.
In this stage, according to the civilization of the virtual people, the crystal zards have completely left the 'primitive' stage and entered the 'medieval' that belongs to them.
There are multiple groups of crystal chameleons, which are clustered on different metal clusters, and while they are developing rapidly, the metal clusters themselves are also developing.
The initial diameter of many metal clusters is only more than ten meters, but after years of accumulation, they have gradually grown to a volume of hundreds of meters, even several kilometers, tens of kilometers.
This is a huge and complex world for the crystal zards, and they live quite comfortably in it.
But there are not many of these giant metal clusters. As far as Crystal Zard knows, there are only a few, and each of them has a crystal Zard colony living in it.
But because the distance is too far, there is no communication between the groups, and they don't even know that there is a similar kind on another metal group.
until sometime...
Crystal Zards generally live in the outer areas of metal clusters, but they also often venture into deep exploration...
Crystal Zard accidentally discovered that there was a mutation in the deep area, and the metal inside seemed to be getting denser and denser.
However, the crystal chameleons did not give up their exploration. Like all creatures of personality, they are quite curious, and they never care about the consequences of their curiosity.
Crystal Zard called this the sealing layer. At first, no creatures could get in the sealing layer, but Crystal Zard kept trying to find a way to go in and explore. They finally dug out some channels on the sealing layer and entered it.
They found that the inside was completely different from the outside, with weird and thin pipes all over the place, and there was no such a large number of metal fragments as the outside, but a complete and neat structure...
Moreover, when the crystal chameleons move here, they will feel strange... They feel that there is some kind of transparent thing in this blockade, this kind of thing makes the crystal chameleon inflexible when moving, and they find When you want to jump to where you want to jump, it will not keep jumping to the target, but will slowly stop in the air because of the obstruction of this transparent object.
Crystal Zard calls this object 'gada', which translates to air.
Because they have never seen air, the crystals think that air is a very 'evil' thing. They are invisible and everywhere, and they will keep obstructing the crystals. Occasionally, the corrosive substances in the air will make the crystals Injuried.
However, even with the evil air blocking, the Crystal Zards did not give up their exploration in the blockade area, where they saw many strange creatures they had never seen before.
Crystal Zard tried to bring some creatures to the city, but after leaving the blockade, these creatures died soon, and Crystal Zard found out that there are creatures that depend on it to live in such an evil air.
At the same time, Crystal Zard also discovered something wonderful in this place... energy.
At first, it was just a crystal zard who was curious about the air bubbles in the floating water block.
What are bubbles?
This crystal lizard came up with this idea, and after its idea was passed on, the crystal lizard also began to study these floating liquids.
During their research, they discovered something that could change their lives... energy.
With the support of this wonderful energy, the life of the crystal zards has changed again, their technology has risen again, and they have created deformable machines, new weapons, and tools that can fly in the void.
Using this tool, they reached other metal clusters, made contact with other crystals, and shared their technology.
If it was 'medieval' in the past, the Crystal Zard at this time could be considered 'modern'. (To be continued...)
