Chapter 1781: One Chapter Has Been Blocked (Asking for Monthly Votes)

(OK!)

The Sahara Desert was formed about 2.5 million years ago. It is the world's largest sandy desert, covering an area of ​​about 9.32 million square kilometers, located in northern Africa. →The climate conditions in the region are very harsh, and it is one of the least suitable places for biological survival on Earth. "Sahara" is a transliteration of Arabic. In Arabic, "Sahara" means a large desert, which comes from the language of the local nomadic Tuareg people, and its original meaning is "large desert".

In the last ice age, the Sahara was not a desert, and its climate was similar to that of East Africa. About 30,000 ancient rock paintings were found in the desert, about half of which were on the En-Ajer Plateau in southern Algeria, depicting animals in the river, such as crocodiles. Dinosaur fossils have also been found. But since 3000 BC, there has been almost no large-scale vegetation in the Sahara, except for the Nile Valley and the oases scattered in the desert.

The prehistoric period was around the Pleistocene. The Sahara was not very dry at the time, but a vast river alluvial plain. No signs of human activity were found in this stage, so it was named prehistoric. There were rock paintings in North Africa at that time.

The buffalo period lasted from about 35,000 years ago to about 8000 BC. Its rock paintings are mainly in southeastern Algeria, Chad and Libya. They were painted between 10,000 BC and 8000 BC, rhinoceros. The characters in the paintings often wear round helmets, use sticks, axes, bows and arrows, and throw sticks to hit prey, but no javelins are seen.

I said so much, just to say that there was water here!

Not only water, but people also lived here!

It is not as desolate as ordinary people imagine since the beginning of the world.

In fact, after the archaeological team cracked the secret of the secret room for the first time, everyone's first reaction was the same as ordinary people.

A group of people from the ocean civilization actually buried the artifact in the desert! It is something that many people know that the Atlanteans must survive underwater. Including the secret of the fall of Atlantis, many people in this world also know it.

After all, when the contract was signed, Atlantis still had reasonable exchanges with human countries. Such experimental things would still be informed to each other.

So the archaeological team would first doubt whether this was fake. If Atlantis hid a treasure in the seabed of a certain sea area, they would believe it. But it was hidden in the desert... According to the clues of murals and cultural relics, they built a huge underground palace for this purpose in order to protect the artifact from being discovered...

If it was in the desert, how could they allocate manpower and material resources to build the underground palace?

Aren't they like fish, who will die if they are away from them?

However, this statement was soon overturned by geographers. The Sahara Desert was not short of water a long time ago, and there were even buffaloes living there!

And soon, some new discoveries also explained one thing, that is, at that time, Atlantis did not sink, and Atlantis still lived on land at that time!

This discovery made many people very excited!

Because before that, they only knew that the continent of Atlantis sank, and then the Atlanteans became an underwater civilization, and everyone could breathe in the water. But to be honest, few people know the exact time, and Atlantis itself has never told anyone about this.

There is no special reason, just... simply forgot...

Yes, that's it.

They didn't even think of explaining it to anyone. Most of the people negotiating at the time were officials, and no one got to the bottom of it.

In short, they finally knew the exact time when Atlantis sank... Of course, this thing only has a little influence in the academic circle, and no one will pay much attention to it. Because it's useless, what can you do if you know it?

Can you threaten the Atlanteans?

No.

Can you know how Atlantis transformed all its people into aquatic creatures?

No.

Speaking of this, scientists all over the world are still curious about how the Atlanteans turned the survivors of the entire continent into aquatic creatures?

You know, it takes at least millions of years for terrestrial life to transform into aquatic life!

The most famous example of terrestrial life transforming into aquatic life is whales!

Their ancestors lived on land, so how did they evolve into the current overlords of the ocean? 1. The ancestor of whales: Pakistani whales As early as 1978, scientists discovered the oldest Pakicetus fossils in Pakistan, and then discovered fossils of other parts. Studies have found that the skull and the area surrounded by the bone wall of this animal are very similar to modern whales, but at that time not many people thought that it was related to aquatic whales.

Later, scientists found that the eardrums of the animal were similar to those of modern whales, and the structure of the ankle bones was the same as that of even-toed ungulates, confirming that it was a whale that lived on land in the past, and named it after the place where it was discovered. Pakistani whales lived about 50 million years ago. They looked like dogs/wolves, were covered with hair, and were less than 2 meters long. They were "little guys" who lived near water sources and fed on fish, but were always "taken advantage of" by scavengers.

Moving towards the ocean As time went by, food on land became less and less, and whales with a hard life began to pay attention to the underwater world. After millions of years of evolution, walking whales appeared. They are amphibious animals. Their body length is longer than that of Pakicetus, reaching 3 meters. The legs under the body have changed from slender to short and thick, and are distributed on both sides of the body. The feet have a structure like sea lion flippers, and the body has become streamlined.

Their swimming style is similar to that of modern whales, swinging their tails up and down, but when they are active on land, their limbs that have not yet completely degenerated can support them to walk on land. 3. The moment when whales completely plunged into the ocean As time went by, whales gradually plunged into the ocean, their limbs degenerated, their body streamlined more perfectly, and their swimming posture became more natural and beautiful. The modern whales are so powerful, which is the result of millions of years of evolution.

It took billions of years for Pakicetus to become modern whales!

But what about the Atlanteans?

It was done in an instant, which is really trampling the theory of evolution underfoot!

What's even more amazing is that their body structure is not much different from that of humans... Whales still can't breathe in water! Although whales can go to the deep sea, they still have to come to the surface to breathe air. Otherwise, they will drown.

But the Atlanteans don't need to... They don't need to breathe in the deep sea at all. What's more exaggerated is that they don't even have gills... Amazing, right?

Not only that, they don't even have reproductive isolation from humans on the surface.

They can also mate and produce healthy offspring!

Aquaman Arthur is the child born to Atlanteans and humans. Not only did he grow up healthily, he also inherited the characteristics of Atlanteans.

However, some people have questioned this. They are not questioning whether Arthur's biological mother is an Atlantean, but questioning the issue of reproductive isolation. After all, whether Arthur can give birth to a child normally is another matter.

Now scientists are most curious about this.

It's not that they are bored, but this is a very good topic. If it can be proved that there is no reproductive isolation between each other, it will be a huge discovery... Surface people and Atlanteans look not much different, but the actual difference is very large.

【】

Put humans in the deep sea and try!

Isn't the difference big?

It's huge!

But they can complete the transformation overnight... saying overnight is just a description, it doesn't really take overnight. After all, Atlantis was a pure land creature, and they didn't swim to the sea, but took a boat!

So they will still drown!

After one night, even if they can transform, they will probably all drown, and the Atlanteans will be exterminated.

So this must have been completed in a very short time, maybe even in an instant!

But in just a short time, they have completed the path that whales have walked for billions of years, and they have even walked ahead. How can this not make scientists scratch their heads!

This is evolution!

If the secret can be cracked, can human evolution take another big step forward!

The key is that this kind of evolution is controllable and directional.

Evolution is not something that can be expressed in two words.

Evolution, also known as evolution, refers to the changes in genetic traits in a population between generations in biology. The so-called trait refers to the expression of genes. During the reproduction process, genes will be replicated and passed on to offspring. Gene mutations can change traits and then cause genetic variation between individuals. In short, the essence of evolution is: the change of gene frequency in the population. Passive changes made by organisms to adapt to the environment. In fact, from the perspective of survival, the term evolution is actually ambiguous, because Darwin named it "The Origin of Species" and Yan Fu, who translated it in the late Qing Dynasty, also named it "Evolution and Ethics", so the correct name should be evolution.

For organisms, high IQ is not only not a good thing for survival, but a bad thing, because the more complex the biological system, the more energy it consumes. Look at humans, they are not idle all day long, and they eat more than other animals. This is because hundreds of thousands of years ago, when we were primitive humans, we had to evolve the IQ and ability to use tools in order to adapt to the climate at that time. As a result, the current situation has been created with the evolution of time and climate. As a result, modern people's IQ is getting higher and higher, but their physical fitness and environmental adaptability are getting worse and worse. In the primitive period, we did not need to exercise deliberately. Now, even if top athletes or fitness people do not insist on exercising, their muscles will atrophy after three months. Survival of the fittest is the essence of the law of the jungle. However, whether evolution is good or bad is beyond human’s control, because God does not play dice, it is all natural selection, and no one knows the future.

So evolution is uncontrollable, and no one knows whether evolution is good or bad!

But the Atlanteans can control it!

They turned themselves into Atlanteans who can survive and move in the deep sea according to their own needs!

This is so fucking amazing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are God!

They are even more terrifying than God.

This is definitely one of the ultimate dreams of all scientists!

Master the secret of evolution!

Let’s get back to the point.

In short, after multiple verifications, a group of people finally sorted out the clues and locked the direction.

It turns out that thousands of years ago, the Atlanteans used constellations to locate their targets, which is why there is such a large constellation map in the secret room.

But this is normal. Nick Fury worked hard to leave clues. If it is too difficult, wouldn't it be in vain?

Over thousands of years of vicissitudes, the originally lush land has turned into a desert, and the mountains have turned into hills and deserts due to the erosion of yellow sand. No landmarks are of any use. (In the Aquaman movie, it’s a joke to use ancient Greek buildings to locate targets...Thousands of years have passed. Who can guarantee that those buildings and statues can be preserved? What if that idiot hammered down the statues in the movie? , isn’t that a fool’s errand? So I think it’s very nonsense. It’s safest to use zodiac signs for positioning.)

But no matter how vicissitudes are on the ground, the stars in the sky will not change much.

So it is best to use horoscope positioning.

Just like when Hu Bayi introduced Tianxing Feng Shui. Mountains, rivers, and rivers may change beyond recognition due to geological changes, but the stars are there and will not change for thousands of years. Relying on these constellations to locate your position is the safest way.

I don’t know if Nick Fury has ever seen Ghost Blow Out the Lamp.

That's what I came up with.

…

"Captain...is this really here? We have been looking for it for three months!"

A man in archaeological clothing shouted to a man in a hat.

When Little Overlord found clues, he naturally had to search desperately, so he searched in Algeria one after another. Although it is guided by the ‘Star Feng Shui Technique’, one coordinate covers a very large range.

Therefore, the Little Overlord had to send out several expedition teams, pretending to be various identities, to search everywhere in Algeria.

This archaeological team is one of them.

They are not archaeologists, but active military personnel.

They are all from special forces.

Unfortunately, this team has been searching for three months in the area they are responsible for, but still found nothing.

There is no way, the artifact is buried under the sand, so we can only use instruments to look for the holes underneath little by little, otherwise, we won't find it at all.

This is pure physical work, step by step, looking slowly with a detector, there is no other reference except luck.

"Damn it! Why do we come to the desert to eat sand? Even if we eat sand, you still have to tell us what we are looking for! The result? You didn't say anything, just let us use the detector to look for it bit by bit... Especially us When I was exchanging information with other teams the day before yesterday, the Alpha team actually found a large piece of gold nugget with the detector! But we didn’t find the gold nugget, but there were a lot of scorpions!”

Another member also complained.

These teams just accepted the mission but did not tell them the truth.

So they didn't know what they were looking for or where it was. This task was extremely frustrating.

"Tell me...what exactly did the higher-ups ask us to find?"

"It can't be oil anyway."

"Bullshit, are we looking for oil like this?"

"Are you looking for a gold mine?" Another person raised a hypothesis.

In fact, they have had this conversation countless times. No reason every time.

At this moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from the detector!

This was what everyone looked over and found that the detector in the hands of the captain who had been silent was emitted.

"What happened? Found it?!"

The captain frowned and shook his head: "I don't know. It seems like there is a hole here..."
