Vol 2 Chapter 59 human gigantic

Finding fossils is a hassle, and this planet has been transformed by humans. Including the earth’s crust has been transformed, various geological movements are much slower than on normal planets, volcanic eruptions rarely occur, and a large number of creatures are buried in an instant, forming a large number of fossils.

Even if fossils can be found to determine the age of fossils, it is not an easy task. Paleontologists on earth can identify the age of fossils with relative ease, because countless people have accumulated and researched to get the paleontology on the earth. Based on numerous data, the climatic conditions of the ancient earth in various time periods have been calculated.

With these as the premise, it is easier to judge the age of the fossil. If not, the degree of isotope decay can only be used to make a rough judgment. Although Chengying has technology in this regard, the error of the year will be relatively large. There may be an error of tens of thousands of years. After all, after this planet has undergone artificial transformation, the carbon 14 test may not be reliable.

Fortunately, his mental power is quite strong, and the process of finding fossils has saved a lot of time. Although the formation of fossils in this world is relatively difficult, there are still a lot of them that can be found by searching the world.

The diameter of this planet is similar to that of the earth. It can be regarded as a habitable planet for human beings. Its gravity is slightly lower than that of the earth, but the difference is not too much. This can be seen from the fact that the height of humans in this world is slightly higher than that of humans in the Great Desolate Continent.

Chengying found a rock formation with a large number of fossils buried, and then scanned with his mental power. There are actually more fossils left by other creatures that have been transformed by humans. They are very competitive in nature. A variety of species have been extinct, occupying a huge advantage in the process of evolution, growing continuously, occupying more and more ecological niches.

And because their bones have high-strength metal elements, they are easier to preserve. Even if they have experienced oxidation and corrosion in the rock formations, the bones have become fragile, but it is easier. identified in the rock formations.

Even if the metals are oxidized and turned into oxides, they are very different from the ordinary soil around them, and their images can be distinguished very intuitively.

Among the skeletons of many modified creatures, there are a few human and giant skeletons. Judging from these human skeletons, the height of wild humans who have just arrived in this world is not as tall as it is now, and they are generally less than one meter seven.

Humans in the prehistoric era lacked nutrition, and it was good to be able to find this height, but as they came to this planet and experienced a slightly lower gravity, even if the materials were not extremely abundant, the individual size of human beings also increased slightly. The average height increased by about five centimeters.

Continuing to rummage forward, Chengying’s mental power entered a deeper layer, an older area, and in that area, human bones became less and less, and closer and closer. The original appearance of humans on the Great Desolate Continent.

in deeper layers. Human skeletons equivalent to those in the prehistoric world have disappeared, but the skeletons of giants are still there. Judging from the year, it is probably around 500,000 years ago. Judging the time through the strata is still somewhat inaccurate, and we can only calculate a rough year to come.

However, the bones of the giants can still be found before this. The bones of these giants look similar to the current size, and they seem to be smaller, but the average difference should be less than one centimeter.

This should not be a big gap for the huge size of the giant.

However, as you continue to search down, the appearance of the giant will change more obviously. If you continue to search down the history of about 50,000 years, you can see that the size of the giant has become smaller. The average height of the current giant is ten meters. The giants in the Great Desolate Continent were much smaller, but they were already too huge for the humans of this world.

And continue to search forward 50,000 years of history. The giant was about thirty centimeters shorter than it is now.

The degree of this shortening is not obvious. It may be an error caused by a statistical error. It is possible that the one buried here is a relatively short giant tribe. After all, there are differences among the populations. So we can’t draw conclusions so easily.

Continuing to search forward, the height of the giant has not changed much. It seems that the record of this shortening just discovered should be a statistical error. It happened to meet the giants that became fossils during that time. It is a relatively short group.

But another important historical event was discovered in the strata. That is the appearance of creatures that contain metals in their bodies.

This thing didn’t exist from the beginning. The man-made parts of this creature’s body are too obvious. Obviously, they are not naturally born creatures in this biosphere, and their large-scale appearance is a sign.

It is obvious in the ground. From a certain stage, which lasted for a very short period of about 10,000 years, the number of metal-bearing organisms in the formation suddenly decreased, replaced by a large number of bones left by normal carbon-based organisms.

On the other hand, a large number of carbon-based organisms died out during this period, and were replaced by organisms containing metals in their bodies. From this point of view, the situation seems to be relatively clear.

At this stage, which is about 1.5 million years ago, maybe someone released it voluntarily, or maybe there was an accident, and the creatures that were originally kept in the laboratory escaped. They have natural resources. organisms come into contact with each other. It soon took a huge advantage, and the mass reproduction led to a mass extinction.

A large number of carbon organisms died out at that time, and the remaining small part barely reached a dynamic balance with the metal organisms contained in their bodies, but they were still in the process of continuous extinction, but it was much slower.

“It should be that the possibility of leakage is relatively high, and the leakage should be that some modified drugs accidentally contaminated native organisms, not the biological samples that were leaked directly.” Chengying will make this judgment because the metal here Organisms do not live longer than normal carbon-based organisms, and some even have shorter lifespans.

If it is a living body in a laboratory, it is difficult to preserve it for a long time. If it is a small ecological circle built in a laboratory, it is easy to be destroyed in a long time, maybe even hundreds of years. The way to preserve it, if the creatures inside were not extinct, or an accident caused by some of these creatures occurred, making the isolation of the laboratory a mistake.

As for cryopreservation, it is even more impossible. Maintaining ultra-low temperature for a long time is even more difficult than cultivating organisms in a small closed ecosystem. The greatest probability is still their genetic drugs or bacteria and viruses. If things leak, these things can be stored in airtight containers for a long time and will not be damaged for thousands of years, and if they leak out, it may cause large-scale mutation of native organisms in a short period of time.

Putting this question aside, Cheng Ying continued to observe the skeleton of the giant before that, and then he found that the size of the giant began to shrink significantly. It took less than 10,000 years and his height was only half of what it is now. about.

“Tsk! I understand, I made a huge mistake.” Cheng Ying slapped his head and found that he had made a major mistake. In the past 1.5 million years, there was basically no need to watch it. During this time, the giants It is unlikely that there will be much change in size, because the giants alone did not dominate the biosphere during this time.

Perhaps there are extraordinary people among them, who have powerful fighting power, and other species on the entire planet can’t beat them if they are tied together, but this does not mean that they occupy the dominance of biological rights. This thing cannot be solved by strong fighting power. of.

They are strong in combat and can’t solve their own food shortage problem, because the carbon machine creatures have been greatly squeezed the living space on this planet. Because of this, the giants have always been a kind of difficult to maintain internal race during this time. A state of satiety.

In this state of not being able to eat enough, even if there are no natural enemies, the body size will probably not increase greatly with the continuous evolution.

Because of this, the process of rapid growth of the giants should be before the planet is contaminated by artificial organisms, and this is exactly the case. Before the mass extinction of carbon organisms, that is, before the leakage of human-made genetic medicines, this happened. The body shape of the giants on the planet has indeed undergone drastic changes. The whole process took place within 20,000 years. It was a very short period of time in the formation, and it was barely possible to distinguish their body shape changes at this stage.

Twenty thousand years ago, the size of the giants was no different from that of humans, and if they continued to dig forward, it would be difficult to dig up bones. Instead, they found the remains of some man-made objects, such as those buried deep in the ground. Ancient buildings, or something similar to means of transportation were buried in the soil. Although they have been oxidized and corroded, they have completely changed their appearance and become fragile, but through the difference in the content of various elements in the surrounding soil layers, they can still It can be seen that this is a means of transportation built by an ancient scientific and technological civilization.

This thing should be a kind of flying device in the atmosphere, because it has wings and no wheels, the shape in the fossil of this thing can be judged. As for the principle of flight, it can only be speculated. Shadow speculates that his flight relies on magnetic levitation to fly. After all, the wings of this thing are too small, and it doesn’t look like it has too many thrusters.

In addition, similar evidence can be found, that is, in the strata of that era, a huge coil structure was buried. How huge is it, about a dozen kilometers in diameter, even if this magnificent building has experienced The erosion of time can still leave indelible traces in the strata. This thing seems to be ubiquitous in the strata of this era, and it should be a public facility in many cities.

Chengying estimates that this thing is used to provide a magnetic field, so that a large number of magnetic levitation aircraft can fly freely in the city.

So far, the birth of the giant clan in this world has been basically figured out. There is no giant clan at all. These guys are human beings, but after tens of thousands of years, there is no natural enemy that can eat and drink. Growth, and because of the loss of civilization, this growth is only interfered by nature, so it only took a short time of 10,000 years, and the body began to expand rapidly.

Until they live in a wild state for more than 10,000 years. Originally, a leak occurred in one of their laboratories, causing an ecological disaster that swept the world, turning a large number of natural creatures into a type that symbiotically coexists with metals, while humans or giants just happened to be uncontaminated.

It is not suitable to use it to describe it. If it is a chemical substance made by humans, maybe humans can resist this kind of transformation by nature, so it is not an accident to be spared in this process, and at this stage, they basically do not. After eating enough, the body shape will be stuck at this stage. If you even have to compare, this population has actually shrunk by 10% or 20% compared to their peak height. In the case of insufficient food, they were forced to evolve and adapt. A body that consumes relatively less energy.

“Unfortunately, there are too few ancient secrets that can be discovered by observing fossils. How did human civilization in this world decline? If it was 1.5 million years ago, it is very likely that the emperor led mankind to establish a technological empire. that rise.

However, according to the historical records of the elves, it seems that the **** emperor has fallen in that era, and it has fallen, not a short time, it is my mistake in the calculation of the year, or it is still developing for a period of time after the fall of the **** emperor.

If it is the former, it is easier for the tribes of human civilization to understand. In the process of counterattack of all ethnic groups, the civilization here was directly destroyed. The reason is simple and rude, and there is nothing to dispute. But if it’s the latter, things get a little more complicated.

It stands to reason that the outer plane is still relatively hidden, especially since it has not been discovered by the Wan clan until now. It should be a quite hidden space. If it continues to develop here, as long as it does not die, theoretically it will not destroy its own technology. There is no phenomenon of resource exhaustion on this planet, why is this happening?

Another important question is, how did the giants get to the Great Desolate Continent? Or that the giants in this small world and the giants outside are not the same kind at all, and there is no blood relationship between them. “Chengying searched for ancient secrets and speculated that it was no longer possible to speculate here, because there was no evidence at all in the strata.

The sudden collapse of human technology is a matter of at most a few decades, and such a short period of time in the stratum is a momentary event, and no record is left at all.
