Chapter 2360 Petrified Weapons
On this day, the new humans were observing the old humans as usual. Suddenly, a meteor shower began to fall from the sky, and a large number of small fireballs fell with long tails.
Fortunately, the meteors were very small and did not cause too many casualties when they fell on the island. However, the things that fell from the sky were obviously not simple meteorite fragments, but mysterious high-tech.
The appearance was two interlocking rings made of advanced alloys, and there were some circuit patterns on them. It was obvious at a glance that this thing was definitely not simple.
After the primitive people on the isolated island picked up these small instruments, they didn't know what they were. They didn't eat or drink them. It seemed that they were really just meteorites falling from the sky. It wasn't until someone was accidentally petrified by these little things that everyone realized that something was wrong. It turned out that this little thing was so evil.
So the highest authority on the island, the priest, said that all these little things should be collected and destroyed. This kind of evil thing that can petrify people must not continue to exist on the island.
However, some people think this thing is interesting. Wars will break out on the island every once in a while. It was because the resources of the island were not enough to feed too many people that the bloody war led to a lot of hatred. Different tribes and families were more or less dissatisfied with each other. Now that there are weapons that can petrify enemies, how can we not use them?
So the war will start again.
However, the primitive man who mastered the petrification weapon was not stupid. He said: "As long as I become a priest, I will never start a war again. For those who disobey us, we just need to petrify them. As long as we win, no one will bleed anymore." He shouted to his allies.
The allies responded one after another, because they also knew that as long as they occupied the isolated island with petrification weapons, they would have another way to control the population besides war. They didn't need to use knives and guns, but petrification. Petrification is a one-sided crushing, and you don't need to go into battle in person to save your life.
So a battle must be fought to decide the outcome.
This battle will determine the direction of the island.
The old ruler is no longer popular because he can't change the tragic fate of the isolated island. The cruel reality of bloody wars every once in a while puts great pressure on the islanders. They are the heirs of the first civilization, but they survive in the most cruel way. They have abandoned too much to survive.
It can be said that controlling the population through petrification is more humane and more acceptable than controlling the population through war.
"But there is a problem, that is, humans are also part of the ecology of the isolated island. After death, people turn back into nutrients and return to the earth. It is naturally good to be immortal, but petrified people are just stones, and the nutrients rich in the human body cannot replenish the isolated island. If this continues, the land of the isolated island will become barren." Duran pointed out the shortcomings of petrification to control the population.
"Uh, shouldn't we care about where these petrified weapons come from?" Fu Hao said how could such high-tech things fall from the sky at this time: "Is it really aliens?" If it is aliens, she has no choice but to do it. She led 13,000 soldiers to attack the ghosts in the north, and now she is willing to lead the army to fight against aliens.
Unfortunately, Duran's focus is not on the origin of petrified weapons, but on the loopholes of the rebels.
Wu Ding also said: "Master, don't you really want to know why the first generation of civilization fell? Aren't you curious about the origin of petrified weapons?"
"Just think of it as aliens. Since it is aliens, it is normal to destroy humans. After all, what is the point of aliens coming to Earth without destroying humans?" Duran didn't care about the evil plan of aliens: "It's still human affairs that are interesting. At present, petrification to control population is a step further and represents advancement, but humans trapped on isolated islands have no perfect solution at all. If you want to gain something, you must lose something. If you don't start a war, you have to face a barren future. It's sad and pitiful."
"..." If Duran was really so compassionate, he could have rescued everyone on the isolated island long ago.
Fu Hao and Wu Ding just remained silent to Duran's hypocrisy and didn't give Duran any response.
Duran was a little embarrassed. It seemed that they were not satisfied with the arrangement of the second generation of civilization.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Don't you look at the technological level of the second-generation civilization? Although their civilization is different, they have inherited the technology. They have built a large number of bronze and iron mechanisms. It's just that their aesthetics have some problems." The tool magic skills taught by Duran have not disappeared. The second-generation civilization can have so many arts that need to be coded because their bodies are like precision machining lathes.
"But it is also true that you ignored the first-generation civilization. You didn't give them any help. Leave them on the isolated island to fend for themselves." Fu Hao and Wu Ding were like rabbits dying and foxes mourning. They were the remnants of the first-generation civilization and had no place to stay in the second-generation civilization. They were very sad to see the inheritors of the civilization that was connected to them struggling on the isolated island. Their glory and their achievements were finally obscured by the most primitive and bloody suffering, and they could no longer release their light.
It was like a toad run over by a wheel, with no power to fight back.
The uprising on the isolated island was a great success, because the islanders could no longer bear the bloody wars that were launched regularly. They longed for change and wanted to be freed from the endless cycle of war. So the priest who advocated the destruction of petrified weapons was overthrown, but before he died, he destroyed a large number of petrified weapons, but left one for the rebels.
From then on, the isolated island ushered in a new era, an era in which resistance would be petrified.
At first, everyone was still very happy, but unfortunately this happiness did not last long.
The victors who had petrified weapons continued to study the use of petrified weapons and finally knew how to use petrified weapons.
Petrified weapons, first of all, do not distinguish between friend and foe, so when launching petrified weapons, you must be outside the attack range. Therefore, the first element of launching petrified weapons is to set the time for the weapon to attack, which is for the operator to stay away from the weapon. For example, ten seconds, then the weapon will be activated after ten seconds.
Then there is the range of petrification. If the range includes the entire earth, the operator can't run away. For example, one meter, then it is a range of one meter of petrification.
Ten seconds, one meter, that is, after ten seconds, the petrified weapon will be a circle with a diameter of one meter.
The activation method is voice control, just whisper the command next to the weapon to activate it. After all, the primitive people on the isolated island are the last descendants of the first generation of civilization, and they still know the units of seconds and distance.
The isolated island has entered a new era, but it does not mean that they can sit back and relax. The real solution to the problem is to go out. Unfortunately, so far, except for Duran, only one group of people have successfully escaped from the isolated island and arrived at the island country to establish a village. Other people who went out to sea were swallowed by the waves, which also made the islanders dare not take risks.
