Chapter 359 Primitive Civilization

A few ships, yes! What everyone is showing is a few ships. The shapes of these ships are not much different from those of sailboats on the earth. From the outside, they should be made of wooden, with sails hanging on the ship and sailing on the ocean near the coastline.

Although the appearance of ships is just the appearance of very ordinary or even very ancient wooden boats, it at least means that this life planet already has the existence of intelligent life. Moreover, judging from the size and navigation of these ships, this should be a fishing boat. As the image gradually enlarges, it can be clearly seen that there are human-like intelligent life on the ship.

"Enlarge it, enlarge it!" Kevin Adams shouted excitedly, his head almost approaching the three-dimensional image. As the robot operating the small shuttle machine stayed in the sky, the image began to become clearer and clearer. Soon everyone could see clearly these intelligent lives, or the humans on this planet.

From the outside, they look very close to humans, including the Blue Star people, but their figures are taller and taller, with a slightly light red skin, which looks similar to the Indians on Earth. The limbs are slightly longer and more developed, and the hair on their bodies is different. Some people have thick hair, some are less, and their appearance is close to Westerners on Earth, with high noses and concave appearances. These people are working on the boat, some are commanding, some are driving, and more people are using tools similar to fishing nets to catch them...

"They are still in the state of primitive civilization, but they are not sure what stage of primitive civilization they are in." Tang Le also looked carefully excitedly and finally came to a conclusion.

"It seems that it is similar to before the Industrial Revolution, and the fishing operation is relatively simple. Moreover, they use basic tools and no sign of any industrial equipment on the ship." Kevin Adams added a few points. Compared with the Blue Star civilization, which is already a third-level civilization, the Earth civilization, or the Earthlings, are more familiar with the stages of humans on this planet. You should know that a hundred years ago on the earth, that is, before the industrial revolution, or even a long period after the industrial revolution began. Such fishing operation methods still exist. However, this is just a preliminary judgment. It is not necessarily completely accurate to determine the stage of the primitive civilization of this planet from the situation of a few fishing boats, but at least they can roughly calculate their scientific and technological situation.

Perhaps the small shuttle was staying in the air for too long. A "fisherman" who was working accidentally looked up at the sky. He was stunned at first, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then pointed at the sky and exclaimed.

Hearing the exclamation of his companions, some people looked towards the sky in the direction he pointed. Soon, when they saw the small shuttle machine staying in the sky, these people exclaimed the same. After a while, the whole boat... No! People including several nearby boats also saw the shuttle machine staying in the sky. Everyone forgot their work and looked up at the sky in shock, as if they didn't understand why there was a strange big bird in the sky that stopped there motionlessly.

This scene also came to the bridge of the Pioneer spacecraft. Although everyone looked at the surprised expressions of these humans, they also felt that it was normal. For example, just like in ancient Earth, a group of ancient people suddenly saw a plane flying over their heads. I am afraid they would be shocked. Even decades ago, the Earth civilization had not yet entered the period of cosmic civilization. The so-called UFO was very lively on the earth. At that time, spacecraft of other cosmic civilizations suddenly appeared in the atmosphere and were discovered by people on the ground. Earthlings would also have such expressions.

These fishing boats and fishermen can only confirm that the planet has a primitive civilization, but it is not entirely certain how far the technological level of this primitive civilization has reached. Therefore, Su Yichen and others decided to let the small shuttle continue to fly inland, find the gathering point of humans on this planet, and complete the accurate confirmation of the stage of the primitive civilization on this planet.

The small shuttle that was parked steadily in the sky quickly started to move, under the gaze of the fishermen. This strange "big bird" that was flashing silver light under the sun moved suddenly, and even its speed of transition from stationary to movement was extremely fast. Without them reacting, the small shuttle only took a blink of an eye from stationary to extremely high speed under the engine to fly inland. When they came to their senses, the small shuttle had already flew far away and flew without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Su Yichen did not see the following scene. When the fishermen on the fishing boat witnessed the small shuttle flying out of their sight at such a high speed, everyone's faces showed a stunned expression. Immediately afterwards, someone even lay down in the direction of the small shuttle flying away and knelt down in a protruding position. When the first person did this, the others soon followed him and knelt down one after another. Perhaps in their minds, the scene they just saw was a miracle.

The small shuttle continued to fly inland. After entering the inland, they saw several villages. These villages were not big, and the locations of the villages were very close to the coastline. If you were not mistaken, these villages were the fishing villages of those fishermen.

In addition, there are some paths connected between the village, including more inland directions. These villages look very ordinary and even simple. The small shuttle only flies over the village but does not stop. It continues to move forward, trying to find the location of the big city.

A few minutes later, a city finally appeared about 30 kilometers away from the coastline. The city was not large in size and looked similar to the European cities of the 18th century on Earth. The main body of the city was built of stone and looked very rough. The city has walls and various buildings inside the city, but from the sky, you can only see the appearance of the buildings, but you cannot judge the function of these buildings. As for the city, there are also many people moving inside and outside.

"It does seem like it was before the Industrial Revolution, and to be precise, it looks a bit like the situation in the 18th century in Europe." Luo Yan carefully observed the structure of the city, including those who were active in the city.

"I also feel like, I even feel like watching movies, which are the kind of old movies that describe the 18th century in Europe." Gao Jian pointed to the image and said, except for Tang Le, who did not understand the history of Earth civilization and those movies, the rest of the people nodded repeatedly.

"I feel more like medieval Europe. If you look at these buildings, if I guess correctly, they should be structures similar to the Arrow Tower. There are many such buildings in medieval Europe." Kevin Adams pointed to the spire at several corners of the city wall and said, as the only Westerner on the Pioneer spacecraft, his judgment of these buildings should be more accurate. After his reminder, Su Yichen agreed.

From the overall structure and area, this city is not a big city. Even a medium-sized city is not a big city. It is just a small city. From the sky, the entire city may not even have 5,000 people, and it can accommodate up to 3,000 people.

However, this situation was normal in the 18th century or even earlier on Earth. At that time, even China, with the largest population in the world, had large cities with a population of one million, small counties and even towns with sparse populations. As for Europe, including the newly built America, some small towns and towns were just the same, and they were even worse than it.

The small shuttle continued to move forward, that is, explore deep inland. Along the way, many cities like this were discovered, some were bigger than the first time they discovered, and some were even smaller. More than ten cities of all sizes were found. But none of them were seen in huge megacities.

This situation makes everyone a little strange. Logically speaking, there are some big cities on planets like this that already have civilization. Could it be that the human population or their living habits of this planet have not yet occurred? But according to the results of the searches along the way, it is a bit different.

After considering it, Su Yichen focused on the ground topographic map of the Pioneer spacecraft that had been sent back, and then asked the small shuttle to adjust its course and move forward along a large river. This large river is the largest river found by the small shuttle from the entrance to the inland, bending forward, passing through some mountains, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Walking up the river, after walking for a distance, the terrain gradually became flattering. The direction of the mountains also eased a lot. When the shuttle passed through a curved bend, the front suddenly became clear and a plain appeared.

"Look! This city!"

Tang Le's sharp eyes were the first to shout, and soon Gao Jian exclaimed, because a huge city appeared not far from the plain, and this city was the megacity they had been looking for. From the scale of the city, it far exceeded the cities they had encountered along the way. Although it is not sure how many people this city has, it can accommodate at least 100,000 people based on the area of ​​the city.

A city with more than 100,000 people could be called a metropolis in the Middle Ages and even in the 18th century Europe. As the shuttle approached, the ground scene became clearer and clearer. Indeed, they were right at all. This was indeed a megacity, and this city was extremely prosperous. Countless people lived, worked, traded, and walked... This scene made people feel the strong atmosphere of exotic life.

The emergence of megacities made everyone excited. The small shuttle was once again stuck in the sky, but this time it stayed a little higher. However, the equipment carried by the small shuttle could still clearly transmit the ground scene back to the Pioneer spacecraft.

Looking at the images, everyone discussed it at the same time, especially when analyzing the people on the ground from various aspects such as clothing, actions, and behavior, they finally came to a basic and accurate conclusion that the wise humans on this planet did have primitive civilization, but their primitive civilization was much behind the original earth civilization. Their civilization stage should be from the end of the Middle Ages of the earth civilization to before the Industrial Revolution.

The entire civilization did not see the technological items that were only after the Industrial Revolution. They only possessed very ordinary handicrafts. In addition, this civilization should have its own beliefs, because along the way, they found a rather strange tall building in the cities they passed by. At first, they thought it was the central building of the city, just like the palace and castle of the European lord. But in this mega-city, there are three buildings of this structure. These three buildings are in the shape of a font in the city. Of course, their structure is more majestic and spectacular. Moreover, they can see many people entering and leaving the building, and even making a provocation, similar to kneeling and worshiping.

Judging from this situation, these buildings should be religious buildings, because only religious buildings have such scenes. As for what religion this civilization believes in, it is unknown for the time being, and it needs to be understood slowly in the future.

The small shuttle stayed over the city for more than an hour, and after collecting all the information on the ground, it continued to search forward again. In the following time, the small shuttle continued to search for the situation of this planetary civilization. In a few hours, many cities were discovered along the way, and even one city was about the same size as the megacity discovered before, which made the people on the Pioneer spacecraft even more excited.

"It's almost done, let the small shuttle come back. I think this planet is still very safe. With their civilization technology, our spacecraft can stay and rest for a short time on this planet, and even directly contact the humans of this primitive civilization."

The video observation for several hours made everyone feel tired from the initial excitement. Luo Yan suggested appropriately, and Su Yichen nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to order the intelligent brain to send the order information for return to the small shuttle, he suddenly became stunned and his eyes were staring at the image and straightened.

"My God! This...this!" Kevin Adams' mouth was wide open, his eyes almost glaring out. Gao Jian also looked stunned, his eyes straightened. As for Tang Le and Luo Yan were also shocked by the sudden appearance, everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak for a moment.

Because when they saw a mega-city appearing in the image... No! To be precise, it should be a mega-city. The scale of this city is far larger than any city I have seen before. From the area of ​​the area, it is almost ten times that of the first mega-city found. In other words, this is a mega-city that can accommodate a population of one million.
