Chapter 2361 Three Thousand Seven Hundred Years
Many petrified weapons fell from the sky, in the shape of two crossed rings. Small but powerful, as long as the delay time and attack range are input, this petrified weapon can be used. Even primitive people can use it, just like the cleaners of the Singer civilization in "The Three-Body Problem" can apply for two-dimensional foil. There is no need for any complicated operation and difficult learning. You only need a mouth and a certain concept of time and space.
Although the original ruler destroyed most of the petrified weapons, two were left in the end, one in Duran's hands and one in the hands of the rebels.
In the end, the rebels won a complete victory, and the isolated island entered the second stage.
Previously, the main form of population control was war, and now the way to control population is petrification. At present, the islanders think that petrification is more humane than war, so they are happy to accept it, but in a few hundred years, petrification will probably be considered brutal.
If productivity does not improve, mankind will stand still and repeat the tragedy.
Of course, some people will set sail, but so far only a group of people have come to the island country to settle by the lake, because they make a living by fishing and gathering on the isolated island. So even if they arrived on a larger continent, these immigrants would only fish and gather, and their productivity was low.
Fu Hao and Wu Ding said that Duran should investigate the origin of the petrification weapon instead of just focusing on the exchanges between the old and new generations of humans.
In fact, Duran was thinking about petrification. If this kind of interlocking ring petrification weapon caused the petrification of all mankind, then how did the swallows petrify before humans? You should know that before humans were petrified, there were swallows flying and petrified.
And it happened all over the world. The petrification of swallows was not an attack but a sign. Is the petrification light two thousand years ago different from the petrification light now?
The petrification light at the beginning was too weak, so it could only work on swallows, but could be digested by humans? But if it only worked on swallows, why not all swallows, but random swallows?
Or the reason is not the petrification light, but the swallows, just like animals will react in advance before a disaster, and swallows are a warning of danger. It may also be because some swallows are more likely to be petrified, and some are not easy to be petrified.
Duran believes that it may not be aliens, but it may be a technological production line that automatically produces weapons. For two thousand years, they have been continuously researching petrified weapons, mass-producing petrified weapons, and miniaturizing them.
And now the production plant of petrified weapons is in the sky.
"Let's go, let's go to the migrating tribes on the island country."
The scale is small, the population is small, and life is not good. Because the island country is a disaster-prone place, earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis will come from time to time.
In two thousand years, the terrain of the island country has changed completely. The island country is completely different from the ancient Roman Dragon Rising Land chosen by Duran. The cities on the island country have no traces at all. In the face of the power of nature, reinforced concrete is nothing more than plasticine that can be kneaded at will. So this area has returned to the original appearance of nature, and the statues of the old humans have been washed away to various places in pieces and have not been well protected.
Survival in an island country is not an easy thing, not to mention that the migrating tribes have no outstanding abilities. They migrated from the seaside to the inland and settled by the inland lake. Basically, they survived by the fish in the lake.
Because there is no hunting option on the isolated island, they also don't have the ability to do it after migrating here. So this group of people still have to worry about food, and the population has not increased.
Of course, Duran is very curious about one thing, why don't these people continue to migrate? You know, even primitive people in the first generation of civilization know to migrate.
The old humans of the first generation of civilization have been migrating since thousands of years BC, and large-scale migration has lasted for thousands of years before they occupied a huge territory.
But the people of this tribe would rather endure population restrictions than migrate. For example, they fished all year round, there were fewer fish in the inland lake, fewer fruits around, and people starved to death, but they still didn't migrate.
This is completely different from the way they escaped from the isolated island. These people should know that migration is the solution to the problem. Finding a more fertile land to live is something that even animals know.
Anyway, they were reduced in intelligence after arriving on the island country. These dozens of people stayed in place as if there was some important mission waiting for them. They would rather maintain a low population than leave.
The new humans came here to observe, and naturally left countless terrible legends.
Fu Hao and Wu Ding were speechless when they saw the two groups of old humans left on the isolated island and the island country. They just felt that the old humans were really hopeless, especially the old humans who had landed on the island country. They stayed in one place and waited for death, and were unwilling to migrate to other places on the island country.
In the Eurasian continent, primitive people carried out arduous and outstanding migration activities, using their feet to measure the energy for survival. For a milder climate, for more sufficient food, and for a safer living space, primitive people overcame thousands of difficulties and dangers and spread their footprints across the vast continent.
Even in the Central Plains, where the terrain was not so open, a large number of immigrants were carried out in the Zhou Dynasty, which expanded the territory. It was precisely because of the development and migration in the Zhou Dynasty that there was the involution in the Warring States Period.
Even the new humans also migrated everywhere in the land of the rise of ancient Rome, because migration avoided many wars.
Duran really wanted to show up and tell this old human tribe that migration was the only way out. Even if the tribe did not migrate, criminals or other branches could be allowed to migrate, which was better than being trapped in the same place and enduring periodic food shortages.
"It's really pitiful and sad. Have they even forgotten the instincts of the first generation of civilization? Do you still need to teach them about migration? Wouldn't it be better to learn from animals?"
Herbivores will migrate, and primitive people should be better than herbivores no matter how stupid they are.
Fu Hao and Wu Ding just watched and said nothing. They saw through Duran's nature of saying one thing and doing another. Last time Duran said he would help but ended up coding the new humans. Now he is pointing fingers at the old humans but does nothing practical. He just keeps criticizing them verbally. What's the point? !
Of course, it is to gain a sense of superiority in IQ. Duran only pursues this.
As time passed, the crazy rumors continued. The civilization of the new humans became more abstract and more difficult to understand, but the development of the technology of the second generation of civilization became more powerful, and many ancient god skills were developed.
And the time finally came three thousand years later.
If we still follow the AD calendar, it should be 5738 now. It has been 3,700 years since the petrification, which is much longer than the time Duran estimated to be released.
Duran estimated it to be 3,000 years, and now it has been 700 years longer.
It makes people ask: Are there people who have been thinking all the time?
Yes, but only a few, some are geniuses, and some have received special training. These special people have been thinking all the time, and have never stopped for 3,700 years.
This group of people in different regions have been released from petrification at about the same time, facing the earth that has completely returned to nature.
There happened to be a boy who had been released from petrification in the island country, a genius with high IQ, and also the adopted son of the island country uncle among the six astronauts.
