Chapter 10.21 The temptation to return to humanity
Tianzhu was the last area covered by Pandora Field before the Great Destruction, so it was also the place where the last refugees from the old civilization gathered in the world at that time. If viewed from space, the high concrete walls of the city-states here are much taller than those in Jianye
. Observed from the ground, these city-states are like the high walls of Khufu Dam, each of which is more than ten kilometers or even thirty kilometers long, full of the grandeur of the doomsday fortress of Gothic civilization!
This is the last effort of mankind to create a miracle, and of course it seems to be a magnificent tombstone.
[In the modern times of the main world, when the great river basin on the Eastern An continent was undergoing decline and transformation, all the gold, silver, and talents from all the provinces in the old era were gathered on a small island in the east, which could give birth to a 'little dragon' that would prosper for decades.
But where the old essence lies, it becomes covered with dust over time.】
In the Pandora era, the world's best technology and talents are gathered in the last zone, naturally forming a "doomsday prosperity".
When there were city-states left in Eastern A, there were naturally a large number of city-states on the Deccan Plateau. However, the life of these city-states was no better than that of Eastern A more than a hundred years later.
To the east, there is a super powerful "Apostle of Tianshu Long" in the east area. To the west, there are just some "regional overlord" communities. Although humans are suppressed, there is still room for breathing.
As for Tianzhu, the climate in the north is equivalent to Jiangnan in Dong'an, and the climate in the south is equivalent to San'an in Qiongzhou. They are both good places for strong communities to settle down.
So the north is the "devourer" community, and the south is the Tianzhuyang "smashing snail" community. Neither of them is good.
What Yucheng faces is the apostle codenamed "The Great Devourer".
This apostle community is a species with catfish as its mother body. It originated from the northern region of Tianzhu in the early stages of the Great Destruction, and then spread to infect all life.
Tianzhu River and Ganges River are distributed in the shape of "human". "丿" means that Tianzhu River merges into the Arabian Sea, and "乀" means that the Ganges River merges into the Bangladesh Ocean.
Nowadays, the entire Devourer community spans the two river basins. It has a wide range of ecological areas on land and in the Tianzhu Ocean. Its total area seems smaller than the area occupied by the Devourer community running north and south through Dong'an forty years ago.
Some, but these are all located in the golden zone of 30 degrees north latitude.
~
The birth of the Devourer community in the Tianzhu River Basin is the only fully recorded origin and development process of the apostles in the existing human city-state.
A hundred years ago, the "Face Code" database of the last doomsday civilization recorded: At the end of the old civilization before the Great Destruction, the ascetics who lived here at that time were isolated from the world, and the local people's cultural level was low and superstitious.
That day, they saw catfish crawling up from the river, and for a time they knelt down and worshiped as if they were gods.
But when these catfishes grew weird limbs, crawled on the ground, began to eat monkeys and dogs, and made various frightening sounds, they realized that the end was coming. Well, these people were the "messengers of Lord Shiva".
". After devouring a large number of human genes, these devourers acquired universal intelligent properties.
On this land, some "architects" among the Great Devourers built eight-meter-long, or hundreds-meter-long, round, upside-down mud bowl-like buildings to prevent exposure to the sun. And in this mud
Underneath the big bowl are the entrances to passages. Under these passages are underground rivers run through by devoured catfish.
~
When the Yucheng human biological battle group entered this area, although it easily swept through the surface vegetation, it encountered a counterattack from this type of creature in the area close to the river. This type of creature relies on underground rivers and is quite tenacious.
How can I put it! On the current earth, except for the "death wave" weapons in the control area, or letting Wei Keng come over and use "high-energy carbon-based life radiation" to suppress it, this kind of loach-like existence is really difficult.
eradicated.
Chongqing City used various methods to block the air vents, pour in hydrogen and explode, and repeatedly fought with the Devourer community. Such a battle naturally attracted the attention of other local human forces.

Pandora March 163.
On the Deccan Plateau, on the city-state of Avalon, the dragon-type Min tribe from the north quickly fell into the intelligence records of the city-states in the region.
They launched the only remaining solar-powered sail plate aircraft, and after conducting reconnaissance to the north, they happened to run into the metalized propeller-powered mechanical beasts of humans in Yucheng.
The two collective consciousnesses of human survivors after the Great Destruction became aware of each other's existence in the 163rd year of the Pandora Calendar, and began "communication."
Communication is difficult. The humans in Chongqing use Eastern Chinese characters, while the Deccan Plateau uses English. Well, although the native aborigines have been almost eliminated long ago, of course the English language is still permanent.
It smells like curry, and it is difficult to understand whether it is from Tongfu District or Chongqing City.
Even the language of actions is difficult to understand. For example, to the humans in Chongqing, what does it mean for these people from the Anhui subcontinent to always shake their heads.
People in Chongqing are puzzled: The head is such a precious organ. If it is shaken around, won't it affect the orderly supply of blood to the brain?
~
The perspective shifts to the other side.
On the Deccan Plateau, in the city-state of Avalon, protected by a fifty-meter-high reinforced concrete wall, the city center is five kilometers away from the city wall, in the middle of the sacred tower. Although the main structure of this tower is a concrete base,
The top structure is made of fine marble!
[This is about luxury. Among all ancient civilizations, the Xia civilization is actually restrained. Other major civilizations built flashy wonders, which wasted the country's maximum points. Tianzhu is even more outstanding. The underground palace of Moon Well is completely invisible.
Substantial military defense is purely a show-off and is not uncommon. This kind of flashiness has been continued into modern times.],
In such a marble hall, Hawasi looked at the information coming from the north.
These mechanical fusion beasts from Dong'an shocked him very much.
Can this shocking technology tree really develop like this?
Avalon, as the world's last refuge, can know the last information from various laboratories around the world until it loses contact with the world.
One hundred and forty years ago, before the communication between human civilizations around the world was completely broken, Dong'an's mechanical beast technology was also in the database. However, it was a technology that allowed human life to control the core. This kind of control carries serious risks.
.
Please note that at that time, the founders of Dong'an Jianye and Five Color Federation chose the mechanical beast technology route, which was a very decisive act.
At that time, the success rate of fusion was only 70%, which meant that 30% of people would die. It was not until later that the genes of the mechanical beasts were mixed with the genetic information of these pioneers, and then the trainers would be safe when controlling the mechanical beasts.
.
The first batch of trainers in the early days really risked their lives to protect the continuation of Eastern human civilization.
~
Avalon, as the last refuge of mankind, accommodates a large amount of superstructure, so naturally it would not choose this cruel technology tree in the east.
Even if other people in Avalon were willing to risk their lives, the upper echelons who fled here were not willing. Because the model of the mechanical fusion beast had to absorb the resources that the upper echelons of Avalon had at the time, and it might become a challenge to their power in the future.
Challengers of the structure, this is also not allowed.
After human civilization was completely cut off, Avalon adopted the "soldier slave" model technology.
That is to say, "willing experimenters" are fused with genetic organisms to form tall and powerful humanoid fighting machines. They control these soldier slaves by inserting pipes and electronic components into the neurons of their brains. And they are deployed and deployed from generation to generation.
Produce the most loyal soldiers.
What is loyalty? It is a model that can ensure priority obedience to the master's orders under various "human experiments".
These "humanity experiments" tested many requirements under extreme circumstances, including what the master wanted and whether the slave slave could sacrifice himself to satisfy it? These are all criteria for whether the technology can pass the test.
In the early days of the First Plane War, the explorers of the main world commented this way: A group of people who are most afraid of betrayal by others use the most cruel way to actively test the "souls" of others, but they don't know that they have no heart.
~
It is obviously impossible for "soldiers" to complete the cleanup of the ecological world. This kind of biological fusion weapon is not strong enough against genetic pollution.
After all, Jianye's mechanical beasts can fight for several hours under the swarm frenzy and kill swarm creatures dozens of times their weight without being contaminated.
In the early days of the Great Destruction, Dong'an relied on this technology to once gain partial control of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Except that the Tianshu Dragon community was too buggy and the humans in Chongqing City were too evil, the key living space was still captured.
On the other hand, the last civilization of Tianzhu only guarded the Deccan Plateau city-state area for a hundred years and was unable to expand the ecological living space.
Perhaps it can be said that the people who proposed the concept of "soldiers" had no belief in restoring humanity from the beginning. The first priority goal of these old people in the end of mankind is to continue to control the rule of human city-states without risking their own death.
~
Now when the Deccan city-states in Tianzhu encountered the standardized mechanical-biological fusion of the Yucheng community, they were curious. Just like the Europeans in the Middle Ages looked at the silk porcelain from the East with curiosity.
When the Deccan people came into contact with the Eastern human community, they discovered that this human force member called "yug" had organs matching mechanical devices.
Hawasi and the think tanks obviously believe that this is the model in which Dong'an's mechanical beast technology tree has developed to what it is today.
As everyone knows, at least twenty years ago, the Chongqing community was still the most conservative community and had almost become a "weird community with human genes."
And these mechanical beasts were not taken from the original forces such as Jianye and the Five-Color Alliance, but were given to the west of Chongqing City for requisition after second-hand analysis by the commanding area.
As for the current situation, these Tianzhu city-states have no idea to what extent the strongest human force in the East has developed.
This is just like the Middle Ages, when Europeans regarded Eastern palaces as a wooden-dominated yurt-shaped model, and mistakenly believed that this was a place of Eastern silk civilization. The word a may come from the pronunciation of Khitan.
~
Havasi showed the information to the councilors who were now undergoing immortal transformation in the medical bay.
He recounted: "The human power from the East has developed to a level of power beyond our imagination."
Rockefy from Cabin 3: "If they want to gain a foothold in the north, they must compete with the Devourer Apostles. Judging from their current capabilities, this is a very long process."
Tesla in Cabin 15: "We should seize their technology, and we need to understand the current situation in Dong'an. This 'yu' force seems to have been driven out by some force. Has a powerful force been born in Dong'an?
apostle!"
These upper echelons are planning their future.
~
In Avalon, groups of soldier slaves are guarding the city gates, while the survivors in the city-state wearing white printed and dyed clothes are working day after day. They wear shackles on their helmets, well, in order to save money.
Cost, these helmets were changed into mechanical devices eighty years ago. Once a special electronic signal is received, the gears will shrink and pierce the forehead, and the accompanying severe pain will prevent them from paying any attention to the "holy and wise" Human Senate.
Resistance to domination.
Different people are designated to live in different areas, just like worker bees and ants.
As for the Supreme Holy Tower, except for blood people, only children and young women can enter.
~
On the banks of the Tianzhu River, the Yucheng community is also making its next step of planning.
After the expedition, the number of thinking individuals in this biological community of human genes increased from 6,000 to 24,000. And with the exchange of spirits, more individuals are becoming enlightened.
Chongqing City is a community, and its main mode of reproduction is not the gestation of both sexes, but the birth of new individuals from a huge plant mother. Of course, this kind of reproduction is still uncertain. At this time, the dragon-type Min herself belongs to a group similar to human girls.
From the age of two to sixteen, the second generation is developing, so that the community in Chongqing is now very sensitive and special.
In the base of Chongqing City, placentas will appear in the amniotic fluid inside these plants, which can be said to be the tree of life, and then they will evolve into various forms of animals and begin to be born.
These croaking animals are not human to a certain extent. Their shapes still look like animals, some have bird wings, and some have fish breathing gills.
Only after being considered as children by the existing humans in Chongqing City, these 'animal' individuals will "metamorphose" and return to human form.
This process, like a tadpole turning into a frog, or a caterpillar chrysalis turning into a butterfly, are all traces of evolution left by humans in Chongqing during this hundred-year community state. Even if they change back to human form in the future, during the development of amniotic fluid in the future
It may be impossible to erase.
[Just like whales in the era of species were originally land creatures with lungs. Even after entering the water, they still breathe with their lungs instead of opening their gills again. Of course, there will be profound evolution in the technology of animal lungs.
】
The same goes for humans in Chongqing. Although they evolved in a roundabout way and reappeared in human social status, the development process still left behind these things.
~
Dragon Min is the "chief spirit" who now controls the Tree of Life, but her "chief spirit" no longer has absolute control like her mother.
Instead, the personnel management before the Great Depression was introduced. Multiple departments of military, agriculture, industry, and transportation were established.
After the human order was re-introduced, a problem also arose, that is, the dragon type Min is now held hostage by the genetic descendants he created.
Now Yucheng has re-developed human beings from animal bodies, coming from eighty-seven species sequences.
Birds, fish, dragon lizards, carnivores, primates, and plant sperm, six major categories, plus miscellaneous categories.
Although after becoming human, the genes have converged, and the spiritual language based on protein-organic radiation has also been unified. However, these categories have the concept of group, and we do not want more miscellaneous species to grow on the dragon-type mother.
Because genes are selfish, while they are loyal to Long Ximin, they also tacitly believe that they are all a branch of human beings. But they really don't hope that other species will appear.
Especially after the different existing 'secondary humans' have mastered key resources, Long Ximin cannot have a "second child" without sufficient reasons and without the permission of these existing 'children'
.
~
At the meeting, generals wearing various uniforms sat on both sides of the table. After Long Ximin sat down, they had a complex spiritual exchange and then came to one conclusion after another.
Xiao Yi Ke (female, derived from owl genes): "Our Air Xiao Master production is now up to eight sorties a month. We are seriously lacking a high number of small and medium-sized air suppression units."
Her big eyes are very beautiful. There is a piece of yellow bone in the middle of her small lips, which is inherited from genes. But even so, she looks forward to her glory.
Another person, Leopard Hongmin (female), also gave the same suggestion, that is, facing more and more wetlands, there is a lack of fighting animals.
…
After the daughters spoke one after another, Long Ximin understood the current situation of the tribe and the solution they wanted. That was to ask for machines modified by the now mature "Standard Beasts" from the unification area.
Long Ximin looked at the slender girl on his left who was recording the meeting, Qing Hengxi.
This girl's complexion is very white, and her hair is also white, but the hair is very thick, like the back quills of a porcupine. Of course, this is not a porcupine gene, but a snake gene. Her hair is actually in the stage when scales turn into hair again.
process.
Qing Hengxi: "My dear mother, there is no credible possibility for the human city-states in Nan'an. To unite with them, it is better to turn to the human king for help. He (Wei Keng) has fulfilled all his promises to us so far."
Seeing that Long Ximin was still hesitating, Qing Hengxi added: "If the human king wanted us to disappear, there wouldn't be so much hope left."
Long Ximin looked up at his daughter.
Qing Hengxi lowered her head, exposing her snow-white neck, but pouted her mouth as if mumbling something.
There is one sentence that Qing Hengxi did not say: "So far, the Human King has been trying to deflect the entire human community in Chongqing City. Mother, as long as your posture is not fully unlocked, he will continue to help us."
Note: The "posture" here refers to the completeness of development. According to genes, Long Ximin is only sixteen now and is not yet mature.
