Chapter 360 Religious Civilization

In this way, people quickly began the interrogation of the natives of Dige Star...

Nothing major happened during this period, except that these natives all gained weight. Life in captivity is different after all...

Time passed day by day, and with the intense work of various biologists and linguists, people quickly mastered their language and obtained a large amount of detailed information...

The first thing that shocks people is that this civilization has a very long history!

Their written history is actually "claimed" to be... 120,000 years old!

120,000 years is really too long. Such a long history has completely destroyed mankind or the Knicks!

But in such a long time, their technology has only developed so far, and it is even worse than the Knicks who have been there for thousands of years.

This is a bit incredible!

The winding social process seems to be going around in circles for a long time...

There must be something hindering the development of science!

On this day, many people were having a heated discussion in the large conference room of "Titan Z", including military personnel, biologists, sociologists, as well as Yu Yifeng and other high-level government officials.

They hope to figure out its properties and characteristics in the shortest possible time and capture the elusive "Gaia creature"! Because the sense of crisis in Yu Yifeng's heart has become stronger day by day, they can't delay it any longer and must act as soon as possible!

Of course, this meeting also discussed the history and culture of Dige civilization...

And... how did this indigenous civilization become extinct! How did you turn your own planet into a wasteland?

Judging from the existing evidence, "Gaia creatures" played an indispensable role in the development of the Dige civilization...

Seeing all the participants sitting in their seats, a young female host came on stage and played various pictures and related texts on the screen.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, this Dige civilization is a true religious civilization. The object of their worship is probably... the Gaia in our eyes. biology."

"But for various reasons, they have never been in the habit of recording history, so the so-called 120,000-year history is just an inaccurate number."

"There are no historical documents?" Yu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, "This is a bit troublesome."

Not every civilization has complete records of history. The same is true for some countries on earth, such as India, and countries such as ancient Loulan. They have no historians. After the decline of civilization, all history cannot be verified.

This is even more true for the Dige people. The dynasty has changed for who knows how many generations, but without historical data, all the history is unclear.

I only heard the female host continue to say: "...the specific history is difficult to verify, but we can still find clues of 'Gaia creatures' through some religious classics, epics, and stories."

"The stories in religious classics have been passed down orally for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps many of them are fabricated...but there are also some stories that may have actually existed. You can refer to them dialectically."

In the words of this host, the religious culture of Dige civilization was pieced together bit by bit.

First, there is the development background and biological information of the civilization.

The Digger, born in the ocean, is an intelligent life that evolved from amphibians.

Their biggest feature is...the original tail has not degenerated.

With this ping-pong board-like tail, it can flap the water better and swim quickly. On this watery planet, a tail that can help swim is quite useful.

Therefore, every Dige person is a natural swimmer. If you pick one at random, he will be more awesome than a human swimming champion. This is due to the evolution of biology...

"Even now, their swimming ability has not deteriorated. They can swim as soon as they are born."

"But because they lived on land for a long time, they evolved sweat glands. While their ability to survive on land was further improved, the function of skin breathing was lost."

"So, like us, they cannot breathe underwater, and there is still a risk of drowning when swimming in the sea... just like some amphibians on the earth can also drown..."

These are the most basic biological information, distributed one by one to everyone by a functional robot.

Yu Yifeng also received a piece of information and read it carefully.

He nodded unconsciously and thought to himself: "It seems that the physical structure and genetic material of Dige people are quite different from humans. As for the similar facial features, is it just a coincidence?"

"Biologists are studying why this coincidence occurs, but there are no good results in the short term."

Closer to home, this kind of amphibian intelligent creature can obtain food on land as well as things in the ocean, and its survival ability is quite good. If you want to better adapt to land, sweat glands are obviously more important. After all, this planet is so hot that it is easy to die from heat if you don't sweat.

As for the issue of drowning... a creature as big as a blue whale can drown. Perfect creatures do not exist.

"It seems that the environment of the planet Dige 114 is similar to that of the Earth, except that it has more water, the satellite is closer, oh... and there is also a "Gaia creature" with a history that may be quite long!"

There are only these differences, but they result in huge differences in the history of social development...

"Because of this extremely old Gaia creature, they actually became a fanatical religious civilization... In this, we also got the first information..."

"Let's not talk about whether it is 120,000 years old, at least in ancient times, Gaia has already appeared... Is that right?"

"Yes, the history of this group of creatures should be very long. But from the existing information, in ancient times, it was not as smart as it is now, and did not have real self-awareness."

Yu Yifeng heard several familiar voices discussing in a low voice behind him. He turned around and found that it was Professor Hegel and others. He hurriedly greeted them: "Professor, this host is your student, right? What's her name?"

"Her name is Kalena, she is just 40 years old this year..." Professor Hegel said with a smile, "The vigorous development of cosmic sociology is also inseparable from the addition of these fresh blood."

The host named "Kalena" is a relatively young cosmic sociologist and one of Professor Hegel's outstanding students.

She was not stage-frightened in front of so many important people, and was obviously well prepared.

"In the most primitive period, most of these Dig natives lived by the sea. They relied on their excellent swimming skills to hunt various creatures in the shallow sea area..."

The Dig people are good swimmers, but they are not the strongest creatures in the ocean. For them, the ocean still has various unpredictable dangers... and because the satellite is close and the tidal gravity is huge, the waves here are too violent, and various tsunamis have become commonplace.

"So... hunting in the sea, even if it is just simple gathering, can lose life if you are not careful. Once the sea is powerful, it will even completely submerge the villages on the coast..."

"The quality of their survival depends on the sea. They worship the sea, but they also fear the sea..."

"The fear of death is the common characteristic of all intelligent life. So... the most primitive religion was born before the emergence of writing, that is the sea god 'Umoru'!"

Yu Yifeng nodded, such social development is expected.

The fear of unknown things is the common nature of intelligent life. Fear psychology is of great significance to the origin of religion. Many Dig people believe that they will return to the embrace of the sea god after death, which also reduces the great panic in their hearts to a certain extent.

The legend of the sea god "Umoru" is the core of the religious culture of the Dig civilization. They believe that everything originates from the sea and returns to the sea.

The sun rises from the sea and sets from the sea; the moon also rises from the ocean; no one has ever walked to the end of the ocean, and no one knows how big it is.

All kinds of magical and incredible phenomena are attributed to the "sea god". For primitive civilization, this is a natural thing.

But generally speaking, with the development of science, various religions will be overturned by science. But the Dig people are completely different. This culture has been passed down for... 120,000 years! With the development of society, it has not only not disappeared, but has become more and more intense...

This is very strange...
