Chapter 247: Civil War of Ancient Humans
When Lu Meng was speaking, she was also paying attention to Fang Xing's reaction.
Seeing Fang Xing showing surprise, she smiled and said:
"Sure enough, Fang Gaogong also knew that the metal door was a mechanical feed trough. It seems that I was right here this time."
Fang Xing saw that Lu Meng seemed to know the details of this matter, so he asked directly:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, to be honest, I just know the name of the mechanical feed trough.
As for its origin, I don't know anything, otherwise I wouldn't have activated it accidentally."
Lu Meng nodded after hearing this, and then said with quite understanding:
"The world's knowledge inheritance is monopolized by sects and the vast majority of people have almost zero understanding of ancient history.
Fang Gaoyi knows the name of the mechanical feed trough, which is more than most people in this world.”
Speaking of this, Lu Meng paused for a moment and continued to explain:
"Actually, I was also one of many ignorant people.
However, since the last time I completed my transformation near Nucleoside Mountain.
The ancient information in the mitochondrial genes was also activated under that stimulus.
From this, I learned a lot about the ancient times.”
Fang Xing asked curiously when he heard this:
"Since Fellow Lu awakened the ancient information, do you know the reason for the destruction of the ancient times?"
Seeing this, Lu Meng shook her head and explained:
"The information I received was very messy. I don't know very well what that ancient catastrophe looked like."
Seeing Fang Xing showing disappointment, Lu Meng continued:
"Although I have not obtained relevant information, I can also guess some through other information.
I guess the reason why that catastrophe occurred was mostly due to the war between ancient humans.”
"oh?
Is there any civil war between ancient humans? Why did they fight?"
Fang Xing couldn't help but be surprised by Lu Meng's statement.
The impression that Fang Xing gave in ancient times was that his technology was extremely superb.
Such a level of civilization will definitely have a very low dependence on natural resources.
This is not something Fang Xing guessed. Look at the sects that inherited the ancient knowledge inheritance. They all counted one and basically played with themselves in the closed door.
Except for a small number of supplies such as spirit stones, the sects do not look down on anything else.
If the network nodes were not allowed to be packaged and taken away, Fang Xing estimated that the sect's forces would have less connection with reality.
As for this and that, since the sects are still in this way, then what will the ancient humans with more developed technology start a war?
Minerals, energy, territory, population, in that era when technology was magical, was there any need to compete for these things?
Just when Fang Xing was confused, Lu Meng continued to explain:
"The war between ancient humans was naturally not for the redistribution of materials. Humans in that era did not lack these at all.
In fact, that civil war was a dispute about social structure and power.”
Speaking of this, Lu Meng looked at Fang Xing and asked:
"It can be seen that the original human society was dominated by the matriarchal system."
Fang Xing nodded when he heard this. The structure of matriarchal clans is very common in primitive society.
Fangxing's original world also developed step by step from this structure.
After all, women have the right to reproduction, which means continuation for a tribe.
However, with the beginning of hunting and fighting, the male advantage gradually emerged, and the patriarchal society gradually replaced the maternal line.
At this time, Lu Meng did not tremble in circles anymore, but continued to explain directly:
"Although technology was developed in ancient times, the matriarchy was also dominant at first.
However, the alternation of power is not completed in a subtle way like the primitive society.
The opposition between the paternal and the maternal line broke out the war I just mentioned.
I have reason to suspect that the civil war that was power was the fuse that led to the demise of ancient humans."
Lu Meng's words shocked Fang Xing.
Unexpectedly, such a war occurred within humans in ancient times.
The technological strength of ancient times is indeed possible that one of them cannot control the attack and destroy the entire civilization.
Thinking of this, Fang Xing asked:
“The information provided by fellow Daoist Lu really opened my eyes.
However, what does this have to do with the mechanical feed trough?”
Seeing this, Lu Meng did not answer Fang Xing’s question positively, but asked:
"Fang Gaogong thinks that we humans are born naturally."
Lu Meng asked Fang Xing for a moment when she asked this question without any end.
However, Lu Meng did not want to get an answer from Fang Xing, so she asked and answered directly:
"I don't know what others think, but I think that humans do not naturally evolve.
Just as humans created intelligent machinery, we are just creations that exist at a high level.
Especially combined with the ancient information awakened this time, I believe this more firmly.
In ancient times, the matriarchy was originally dominated by the matriarchy.
That's because ancient humans believed that it was Nuwa who created humans and all things in the world.
The double helix structural gene that is exactly the same in the world is constructed by Nuwa imitating their reproductive forms.
It is this cognition that constructs an ancient human society dominated by matrilines.
Even ancient paternal humans agreed with this, but they felt that the genes of the double helix structure were just appearances.
Humans shouldn't be what they are now, and their real genes are hidden within chromosome 17.
In order to limit human development, a lock called p35 was added there.
Ancient paternal humans called this gene Pangu, believing that this is the real self.
In this way, the patriarchy representing Pangu and the matriarchy representing Nuwa launched an unprecedented civil war in ancient times."
As Lu Meng threw out a fierce piece of information, Fang Xing was shocked and gradually understood.
This ancient dispute seemed to be a power struggle, but in fact it was an extension of where human beings came from.
The matriline believes that humans were created by Nuwa, while the paternal line believes that Nuwa created humans just to limit human development. The true Pangu gene of human beings was even locked.
Fang Xing is a person who masters the genetic modification of the Yellow Turban Rex, so he is naturally very familiar with human genes.
In human chromosome 17, there is indeed a fragment called p35. This gene exists to inhibit cancer cell production.
At the same time, the p35 gene also indirectly restricts human morphology.
Without the p35 gene, humans might be as tall as giants.
This gene fragment is difficult to remove. Once the p35 gene is removed, it means the collapse of the entire gene chain.
Most humans in this world have the p35 gene, and so far only two types of people know about Fang Xing does not have this gene.
One is a parthenic monk like Lu Meng. They replaced the entire gene chain with a mitochondrial gene, and there was no p35 in the mitochondrial gene.
