Chapter 373 The mass extinction event

Zhang Yuan sat in his seat, listening to the group of people below complaining about the strange culture of Riley civilization, and comforted him with a smile: "Forget it, I have gained a lot, it's not that bad..."

"How was the transaction going on this time? Are there any special reports on our diplomats?"

Secretary-General Li Cheng, who stood aside, replied: "It is still going on and there are not many twists and turns. The trade will be until they can't come up with anything new. Our scientists are studying the alien animals and plants transported. It will take a long time and there will be no good research results for a while."

"As of now, a total of 422 sets of stainless steel tableware, 3,309 metal weapons, 122 armors, and 64 sets of primary production tools have been traded. The number of slaves traded is about 40,000..."

"There were about 16 countries who chose preliminary scientific knowledge from this transaction."

Those stainless steel tableware, metal weapons and other things actually don’t matter. Zhang Yuan raised his head and said with a little interest: “Is there 16 sown seeds? It’s pretty good. I thought no one was interested at all.”

Li Cheng smiled and said, "It's mainly because it's cheaper... This knowledge is the cheapest in the transaction list. You can exchange it for almost the price of a knife."

However, the book does not clearly state how to smel metals, how to produce flames, etc., but rather words that seem inexplicable. Due to the different languages ​​and characters, humans are too lazy to design them specifically. They just read the junior high school textbooks very roughly and deleted some sensitive content, which makes these books obscure and confusing.

Another scientist explained: "There are also some fanatical religious people who regard these books as gifts from gods and choose to buy them. They want to buy them home and offer them as Bibles... I don't know what expressions these crazy believers will study them deep and understand what they mean."

For a while, everyone felt a little funny.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan sighed again, "How it will be applied is not within our jurisdiction... It is even more difficult for us to predict what will happen in the future."

Just a little interference caused a global shock to the entire Riley civilization. Even if this change stops immediately after humans leave...

"The influence of higher-level civilizations on lower-level civilizations can be seen."

"But according to current observations, there is a high probability that even if these countries have obtained chemical knowledge, they will not be able to use it."

Because there are too many religious restrictions in this civilization, flames are hailed as symbols of gods. If chemistry can bring flames, how should traditional doctrines explain this view? They may have been covered up in a hurry and just pretend that nothing has happened.

In this era, the rules and regulations of religion were a bit too large, and its binding ability was even stronger than that of the medieval times of mankind.

Those who question God will be sentenced to death for blasphemy!

"Even if the Rileys really discover these facts, they will hide them and not use them... These guys are still crazy believers, and they may be schizophrenia!" Li Zhendong laughed gloatingly.

Zhang Yuan denied: "That's not necessarily the case. Every world has heroes. Don't look at them being very ignorant now, but in the distant future, who can really predict it?"

These 16 seeds do have the possibility of taking root and germination.

Chemistry brings flame, flame brings smelting and benefits.

Under the instigation of interests, some new variables may arise.

"And, this time the interests are controlled by the nobles of the palace. They have enough ability to fight against the deeply rooted theocracy. It depends on whether they are greedy enough and whether they can abandon their original thinking."

"If all the seeds die, then there is nothing we can do."

It is difficult to predict next. Even if humans have the prediction science of new civilization history, this science must be based on massive information, and it is impossible to completely predict the future.

Human beings have no time to conduct in-depth research on the industry, population ideology, etc. of this civilization, and it is even more impossible to stay here for hundreds of years and observe subsequent historical evolution.

"What a pity! We can't see the result." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

Everyone in the conference room showed a look of regret.

At this moment, Dr. Li Cheng suddenly thought of something, and he sent a report directly to Zhang Yuan's email: "Mr. Captain, here is a geographical report about Riley Star. The scientific expedition team members seem to have made a major discovery. According to our scientists' speculation, Riley Star may be experiencing a mass extinction, and the Riley race is likely to be completely extinct within one million or even ten million years."

"So this group of scientists wants to invite you to the next meeting to discuss related matters in this regard. Should we help?"

"In particular, Professor Ichiro Yamamoto is studying what microorganisms can degrade certain materials...you'd better go and take a look."

Zhang Yuan was stunned. Within one million to ten million years... completely extinct?

What does this mean?

"Ten million years?"

"Yes!"

Although this period of time is very, very long, so long that humans may not necessarily exist, he was still shocked and felt a little incredible.

He soon thought of some keywords, such as the Ice Age, which led to the extinction of human ancestors, leaving only a few thousand people.

Could it be that this planet is also experiencing a huge meteorological disaster?

But it doesn't sound very similar, especially... Yamamoto is fiddling with microorganisms, which doesn't seem to have much connection with meteorological disasters?!

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"

...

Life is not a rare product in the universe.

What mankind has seen and heard along the way has gradually proved this point.

Geographically, a planet that can develop life appropriately will always be born with all kinds of strange lives as long as you have enough time to accumulate.

In order to explain this, people have put forward various explanations, such as "creation theory", "cosmic life theory", "chemical origin theory", etc.
