Chapter 116 Fish and Fish Tank

A suspected civilization has appeared on the Julang Planet, which is not suitable for the emergence of intelligent creatures. The signal sent out from the "Deep Sea Observation Station" is obviously for use in the deep sea.

This kind of signal can be transmitted over a considerable distance in water after specialization, but it is not suitable for propagation in air or vacuum.

Therefore, while in space, Li Wenyuan did not receive any signals from here.

"But can indigenous people be born in such a place?" Not only Li Wenyuan, but also Gray Feng was quite curious about this.

Not only that, the indigenous people here seem to be living in this "deep sea observation station" built by humans, and have even developed to a higher level.

Li Wenyuan even wondered if he was a human being again, reusing the waste after the "fish tank" was used up, and setting up an observation station for sociological experiments.

Although humans are gone, life here is still evolving normally, and has established its own civilization around these "deep sea observation stations".

"Go in and take a look?" Li Wenyuan was just about to suggest this when the gray wind dispersed into a nano-storm and entered the interior of this giant building through the gaps.

It will take a while for his own drone to get in.

"...Nano robots are really useful. Let's replace these scientific research equipment with nano machines in the future..." He thought so, and then received the picture from Gray Wind.

The observation station is filled with a lot of lights, and there is an artificial sun in mid-air. The proportions of various gases in the air are almost the same as those on the earth.

Strange buildings with different functions stand inside the observation station. These buildings, which are obviously imitating the style of the observation station, are somewhat nondescript and do not look like they were made by human hands.

In addition to these things that may be related to the "indigenous", the environment here is also very humid, which may be some improvements made by the creatures here in order to survive.

This giant observation station located in the deep sea can accommodate approximately hundreds of thousands of people. Perhaps it was not just for observation, but it may have been built as some kind of experimental site.

After his drone was connected to a certain port of the observation station, he directly took over the system of the observation station with obviously much higher authority.

After a cursory inspection, he already understood what it was used for.

[No. 003 Deep Sea Observation Station (now converted into the "Deep Sea Civilization Experimental Area") Log Record 1:]

[The research as a "fish tank" has been quite successful. Following the advice of experts, we put a primitive amphibian into one of the deep-sea observation stations]

[We have tried to cultivate civilization in orbital stations and achieved success, so can civilization also be produced in the deep sea? 】

[With great expectations, we have set up an "evolutionary accelerator" in the experimental stage, hoping that this group of amphibians can bring us different surprises]

"...Civilized experimental station?" He thought of the four Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks in the ring world before.

The civilization there was basically on the verge of destruction under the favorable environment of Ring World.

However, this civilization located in the harsh environment of the deep sea seems to be alive and well now.

And Li Wenyuan also saw the record about the "evolutionary accelerator" in the log.

【Experimental Evolutionary Accelerator】

[Introduction: Too stupid primitive creatures really consume too much of our patience. Even though genetic technology can expand their brain capacity and forcibly increase their intelligence, it is still difficult for these primitive animals that have been comfortable for too long to understand "civilization".

It is a long process. So we decided to let go and use fully automatic machines to accelerate their natural selection and determine the most suitable one among the cruel natural selection. I believe that after experiencing such a cruel test of survival, they will

Can truly understand the importance of "civilization"]

[Special note: Use it in conjunction with the "Civilization Accelerator" for better results! 】

It was also at this time that his database gained a brand new technology.

【Cruel Evolution Theory】

[Technology level: 5]

[Introduction: Every species that can stand at the pinnacle of the planet undoubtedly has an extremely terrifying past. They have exterminated countless other creatures and experienced several changes in the world before finally reaching this point. But this process is still too slow.

, before they form a "civilization", we can use some external means to accelerate their "natural selection"]

[Possible Technology: Perfect Evolution (100%)]

Since it was only a level 5 technology and it was related to the evolution of species, Li Wenyuan didn't have much interest in it at first.

But he soon realized what was "different" about this technology, that is, this level 5 technology was marked with a red skull.

In his current technology tree, only "Natural Disaster Plan", a level 7 technology that could destroy the galaxy, has such treatment.

"...What dangers will this 'cruel evolution' bring?" While he was still thinking, he discovered that the human log records here ended here.

Maybe people at that time originally wanted to find a time to recycle the data, but their attention was quickly attracted by other things, so that they forgot that there was an "experimental area" here.

"As expected of you..." Li Wenyuan felt that this kind of casual behavior was in line with human style.

Although there are no human records after that, the indigenous people living here still found ways to learn to use the equipment here and built something suspected of a "local area network"

And most of their information is also recorded on the network here.

This kind of indigenous encryption method was almost non-existent to Li Wenyuan. He easily cracked the firewall here, and then saw the "civilization development" process of these indigenous people.

The observatory in front of us is limited by the environment. The civilization here has not been able to go into space, but it seems to have formed a unique civilization environment.

The most obvious is the understanding of the worldview.

Since they were in this observatory when they became wise, in their understanding this observatory is the "world", and the deep sea outside is the "universe".

In their ancient mythology, a "god" created the "sky" and "earth" in the observatory, and isolated the terrifying outside world on the outer wall of the "world".

The movement produced by the machines here to maintain the normal operation of the observatory is even understood to be a natural phenomenon.

For example, an air humidifier hidden in the inner wall will spray out water vapor at regular intervals to maintain the humidity here at a level suitable for the life of this amphibian.

This is a "natural law" in the world of these amphibians, and there is even a decent explanation.

In addition, there is a small "dimensional manufacturing machine" here, which was left by humans in order to provide sufficient resources for the development of civilization.

This magical "making something out of nothing" machine is also an "objective law" in the world of these amphibious creatures. They think the world is like this, and it is their "common sense" that more resources will suddenly appear every once in a while.

Limited by the narrow environment and content here, the amphibious creatures here formed a social form of scientific theocracy.

In their world, they are the only successors to the Creator, and the deep sea outside the observatory is a destroyed world. This is their last paradise. In order to find more places to survive, they must develop technology

.

Li Wenyuan thinks their social form is quite interesting, and this sociological experiment done by humans here is indeed interesting.

"...Then if they came to the surface of the ocean and saw the real universe, what would they think?"

While he was still thinking about this situation, he discovered that there had been such a situation in the history of this group of amphibians, but it was just a "taboo" category.

Many of their scientists were curious about what was above and below in the outside world, but due to water pressure, the level of skill required to explore below was much greater, so "exploring up" became their first choice.

However, the dangerous surface of the ocean also prevented many scientists from returning, and only one "lucky man" successfully brought back his experience.

He said that there was a wider world above, with a bigger "sky" and a "black sun", but the "universe" they were in was actually only a small part of the entire world.

However, his statement was denounced as heresy, and the amphibious scientist became the first person to be sentenced for "treason against God."

They still firmly believe that all they are accustomed to is the "world", so from then on "exploring upward" has become a strictly forbidden matter.

Their behavior reminded Li Wenyuan of a certain idiom.

In addition, he also realized other meanings of this "fish tank":

"...Will the 'fish' understand that they are actually in a 'fish tank'?"

He couldn't help but glance at the sky, feeling a chill that pierced his bones, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Finally, after some careful consideration, he recorded the story here in the archives and named it "Fish Tank".
