The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2150: The Bag Floating in the Void

This was a thing that happened... a long, long time ago.

According to legend, there were once two Ershi people who were mining rare minerals in a place in the void called the 'Floating Mountain Mine'.

They found a creature there, and in fact, this was the only creature there.

They call this creature a sack.

The Bags are a type of void creature that twist their bag-like bodies in the void, floating between void mines and absorbing any nutrient debris that is suitable for them.

Initially, Budai was regarded as a unique "scenery" here and was only used for viewing by the Ershi people.

However, the two Ershi people discovered during their accidental close encounters with these cloth bags that the bags seemed to have very high intelligence.

Although they are very different from the Ershi people in appearance, ecology and other aspects, they can quickly understand the behavior of the Ershi people and will respond.

After testing, the two Ershi people discovered that Budai's intelligence reached an astonishing level of... around 50.

At this level, they can already communicate normally with the Ershi people. Of course, they are now only having some simple interactions and have not had effective communication.

They don't know why Budai has such a high intelligence despite living such a simple lifestyle, and it seems that they have no need to use their intelligence in their daily lives.

They just float around collecting food, like single-celled organisms.

Although I don't understand it, it's obviously a lot of fun.

As a result, these cloth bags became more interesting things, and the two Ershi people often tried to interact and play with them.

One day, two Ershi people mentioned whether it was possible for Budai to develop civilization, and they had different opinions.

One thought it was possible because Budai had a very high intelligence, while the other thought it was impossible because Budai did not have any key parts like hands.

For example, there are many highly intelligent mammals in the sea of ​​Ershi, but because they have no arms and cannot make fire in water, they cannot keep up with the development speed of primates... Some Ershi people hold this view.

The situation with the cloth bags is similar, they live in the void.

It is indeed unlikely that this location could develop, but if it were located elsewhere, it might be different... So, the Ershi people took some cloth bags to a nearby world called a7-0931.

The environment there is suitable for the life of the bag, and the surface also contains a lot of nutrients that the bag can absorb.

Although the bags cannot fly due to gravity, their body structure will not collapse in a gravitational environment, and they can still move on the ground.

The cloth bags are actually not without gripping ability. The four corners of their bodies have a certain gripping ability and can use...many tools of the Ershi people.

So, these two Ershi people gave them some... education about developing civilization, and also gave them some Ershi people's technical information and some... machines that could protect them.

Then they threw the bag onto the world and left.

Because there were many other things to do, the two Ershi people didn't pay much attention to Budai's development.

But occasionally they will pay attention to see how they are doing.

They found that the bag was indeed developing slowly as they had expected.

At some point, the Ershi people suddenly discovered that a new species had appeared among the bag group.

This new type of bag grew limb-like structures from the four corners of its original body, and its body became stronger. It can better adapt to the gravitational environment, move quickly on the ground, and use tools better.

It looks like the original bag has evolved.

But it was only a short time... just a few years, how could they evolve?

And the point is, this evolution should logically live better than the original bag.

But this is not the case. The original cloth bag is very... discriminatory towards the newly emerging species.

Although the new species had superior abilities, the original Budai regarded them as lower-level species...so they quickly enslaved these new species and treated them as 'lower-class people', forcing them to serve the original Budai.

Later, some new species escaped from the control of the bag and went to live in some harsh environments.

And Budai continued to develop in this way.

Ershimin noticed an interesting thing, that is, new types of cloth bags would be produced every once in a while, and these new types were almost all suitable for the current situation.

When Budai conducts a lot of technical research, species with higher intelligence will appear, and species with better physical fitness will appear after more exploration.

However, all of these species were considered "deformed and inferior species" by the original Budai.

As soon as these new species appeared, they would kill them. At first, they would take some of them as slaves, but later they would kill them all, leaving no one alive.

The Ershi people don’t know how they developed into this... but they have no way to manage it.

Because they were far away and there were many things to do later, the two Ershi people no longer paid attention to these...species that they had created long ago.

Until a long time had passed.

Because these two Ershi people recorded a lot of information about the cloth bag, their information was seen by some other people in the research team.

These people believe that...cloth bags have value.

……………………

"Later, they seemed to want to launch some kind of plan on Budai. It seemed like an experiment."

In the dark forest of dead trees, an Ershimin said to the deputy captain: "But I don't know the details of the plan."

"So, you're saying that these pillow-like creatures are those 'bags'?" asked the second-in-command.

"It's very likely. I've seen some information that is quite similar to the one described. Plus, their technology is very similar to ours."

"If that's the case, then we should be able to use their technology easily." The deputy captain looked at the others who were investigating the aircraft and said, "Have you finished your investigation?"

"Yes... This is very similar to our technology, but the operation method is a little different. But I think we can... adjust it. In addition, the engine of this thing is very powerful. It should be able to let us fly back to the space station."

"Really? Then their technology is... a little special." The deputy captain said: "Then hurry up... be careful!"

Countless aircraft suddenly appeared in the sky. They all seemed to be Budai's aircraft, and they were all heading in this direction...
