Progress: Restoring the history of human evolution

Reward: unknown

Not long after they met the African ancient ape, the trial system updated the dungeon reminder.

Restore the history of human evolution.

Xia Mingdong pondered for a moment, trying to approach the African ancient ape, but Ninge was faster than him and walked ahead of him.

Ning Ge stopped moving after walking a few steps, Xia Mingdong bumped into Ning Ge's back again and it hurt a lot.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mingdong rubbed his nose, feeling that it was about to swell.

"You can't go any further." Ning Ge said, "This place is blocked."

Xia Mingdong came out from behind Ning Ge, tried to touch it forward, and found that there was an invisible wall of air in front of him, unable to move forward.

Cen Heng and Ren Sheng also followed.

"What's going on..." Halfway through Cen Heng's words, lines of words slowly emerged on the air wall, as if someone was writing with a pen, one stroke at a time——

Each person corresponds to an evolution opportunity

evolution?

The four African ancient apes suddenly stopped, motionless.

The first line of words on the air wall slowly disappeared, and a line of words reappeared in front of each African ancient ape——

Write down the direction and content of the evolution

"Fuck!" Cen Heng's eyes widened, "Is this for us to make history?"

"No." Xia Mingdong corrected, "We want us to restore the history and the changes of human beings."

"That is to say, we are going to create us?" Cen Heng said a very awkward sentence, "Is this difficult? We just live well, and don't know how we got here?"

Xia Mingdong: "Oh."

"No, what do you mean, fourth child?"

"It means that from the African ancient ape to the present, it has been millions of years, and how many 'us' have died in the entire evolution process. To find the correct evolution path, not to be eliminated by natural selection or human development, you Do you find it difficult?"

...It sounds like it's really difficult.

It's hellish difficulty.

Cen Heng shrank, "Then what should we do? My ability is limited, and I really can't penetrate the world's civilization for 200 million years."

"I do not know either……"

Xia Mingdong looked at the four lines of writing on the air wall, each African ancient ape corresponds to one line of writing, which means they need to write four times.

Each of the apes represented an evolution, that is, they had four chances to write down the evolution.

But... If it failed once, they will be wiped out as a group, or as long as one person succeeds, they will pass collectively.

If the group is wiped out after one failure, there is no need to set up four African ancient apes.

"According to my guess..."

Cen Heng immediately said: "Your guess is usually correct, just tell us."

"...Okay, let us write down the evolution process of the African ancient ape. According to this process, we should be able to evolve into the current us, that is, the current human civilization, which is the 'please ensure the present' in the mission requirements You can survive'. It means that we have to restore the process of human history and ensure that we can evolve into what we are now."

Cen Heng: "...It still feels like a tongue twister."

"Anyway, it's quite complicated." Xia Mingdong felt a headache, "Is there anyone who studies history?"

Ren Sheng asked sincerely: "Do you think I know the history of human beings? I don't even know the history of dogs."

Xia Mingdong said that his words made sense, Gu Mu couldn't possibly know the history of mankind, "What about you, Cen Heng, you should know something."

"Ahem, well, I know something when I play games, but I'm not sure, why don't we discuss it together and brainstorm."

"If it starts with the Australopithecus, it is a very long story." Xia Mingdong said: "Leaving aside other discussions, there are several branches of the Australopithecus, one of which evolved into Neanderthals, and the other is Our ancestors, Homo sapiens, had wars, plunder, mating, and multiplication between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, and finally became us today. Our birth is very complicated. Calculated from ancient times, we have a lot of Part of it is the genes of the ancestors of Homo sapiens, but it also retains the genes of Neanderthal people."

Cen Heng's mouth has grown into an "O" shape, "Is it so complicated, I thought...it was very simple."

"Of course it's complicated." Xia Mingdong twitched the corners of his mouth, "The formation of a group that almost occupies the earth and plans to go to outer space is not so simple. After all, human beings are intelligent life."

Cen Heng was speechless, "So, our ancestors must first defeat the other branches of African apes, and then develop into us step by step? I thought Xia, Shang and Zhou were already very ancient, but now Straight to millions of years ago."

"There are many options for evolution." Xia Mingdong also felt a headache, "If we can deduce Xia, Shang and Zhou, it is basically considered a victory. Xia, Shang and Zhou are only a few thousand years old, and they are molecules in millions of years. what?"

Cen Heng: "...That's right, it would be great if you can connect to the Internet now, check it online, you don't know anything."

"What human beings have researched may not be all right." Xia Mingdong poured cold water, "Historians also have different opinions on what happened millions of years ago. From the perspective of history, there are currently a few points that are relatively certain. From Homo sapiens to the current human beings, there are several indispensable conditions. Fire, records, tools, farming, manufacturing, these add up to the indispensable conditions for the birth of a civilization."

"Existence is reasonable. This sentence is very appropriate to apply to the changes in human history. There may be many things in our civilization that we cannot understand, but their existence may just be part of our historical evolution." Xia Mingdong continued, "Many Things are more complicated than we imagined, and sometimes an ordinary butterfly can change our world."

"Butterfly effect." Ninge whispered suddenly, his voice was cold and deep, "We can't predict it, and it's meaningless to discuss it."

"That's right." Xia Mingdong sighed, "To put it bluntly, it's useless for us to say so much now. If we don't try it ourselves, we don't know whether the so-called development is rough or fine."

"Try it yourself?" Cen Heng's voice almost changed, "How do you try it yourself?"

"Of course we want to write down the evolution process we think here." Xia Mingdong pointed to the words on the air wall, "We don't do any practice, and it's useless to deduce the theory here."

Cen Heng was silent for a moment, "Indeed."

"In this case, I..." Xia Mingdong wanted to try to write, but Ning Ge held his hand.

Ning Ge's expression was cold, but his voice was firm: "I'll do it."

"That..." Cen Heng scratched his head, "Although I don't know what it means, but there are four African ancient apes here, and there are four opening sentences, it should be for us to write, since it is better for me to come first. "

Xia Mingdong looked at Cen Heng in surprise, "You..."

"It's okay." Cen Heng was very open-minded, "Anyway, I can't do anything else. It's okay to be a pathfinder. You are all better than me. I will come first. In case something happens, I can still save my strength. .”

Xia Mingdong's face became serious, "Cen Heng, I'm telling you, according to my guess, we should have four chances in total, and we should be able to write four evolutions, as long as we can deduce our current civilization within four times." That's fine, but I'm not sure if our deduction will be punished if our deduction fails."

"That's why I'm here." Cen Heng said, "If something happens to me, you can still find a way to save me. If something happens to you, are you sure I can figure out a way?"

Xia Mingdong: "...it seems to be the same."

"I can't do whatever I want, turtle No.1." Cen Heng shrugged, "We are all in the same team, I can't just do nothing and enjoy the rewards every time, I can help you in the dungeon every time. I'm not too busy, so I'll come first this time. Tell me, fourth child, and I'll write according to what you said."

Xia Mingdong thought about it for a while, and stopped persuading him, and began to talk to Cen Heng: "Ready to write, human beings discovered that they drilled wood to make fire, created characters, worked in farming, and made stone tools..."

Cen Heng wrote down what Xia Mingdong said stroke by stroke on the air wall with his fingers, lines of words hanging in the air appeared where his fingertips brushed.

The African ancient ape behind the text seems to have entered a real ancient scene, holding two logs in his hand, studying how to drill wood to make fire. The fire illuminates his facial features that are slowly approaching modern humans, and there is a shimmer in his pupils.

Afterwards, he slowly picked up the slate, began to record some things with simple lines, carried out the most primitive farming, and went to defend against the Neanderthals who liked to live in caves, had well-developed limbs, and their brains were relatively inferior to Homo sapiens, with a low level of civilization. Predatory females, reproduce offspring.

Then, he started to make some simple tools for hunting and farming, and learned to build houses...

Then, the Ice Age came, and before he could learn how to weave, he froze to death during the Ice Age.

The African ancient ape controlled by Cen Heng fell coldly and stiffly, and the words written by Cen Heng were also frozen on the air wall.

At the same time, within a circle with a diameter of one meter centered on Cen Heng, the temperature continued to drop, as if it had really entered an ice age, ten or twenty degrees below zero, which immediately made Cen Heng, who was only wearing thin clothes, shivering from the cold trembling.

"Quick, get dressed!" Xia Mingdong took out their winter clothes from the space box and threw them to Cen Heng.

Cen Heng put on two overcoats, his lips were still pale from the cold.

Xia Mingdong took out the sports car from the space box and placed it in front of Cen Heng, "Get in the car and turn on the heater."

Cen Heng stretched out his hand stiff with cold to open the car door, sat in the car and turned on the heater, the glass windows were covered with a layer of mist almost immediately.

Xia Mingdong breathed a sigh of relief, "How are you doing?"

"It's okay." Cen Heng's voice was still trembling, "What happened?"

"I guess..." Xia Mingdong said slowly, "The punishment for failure is to let the writer experience the scene of human extinction. In the evolution process you wrote, the other party was frozen to death in the ice age, and you should also experience the ice age. period."

Cen Heng: "...are there many ways that could lead to the extinction of mankind?"

"Many." Xia Mingdong nodded, "There are more ways for human beings to perish than you can think of."
