Chapter 2753 2754, Inheriting the Underground World (4)
——???——
Spire of the Deep.
Not that surprising... Sherlock looked at those huge shadows and nodded slightly.
According to the description, there is no doubt that the "Ute tribe" is at the top of the food chain, and their short-sighted and unprogressive behavior is not much different from that of humans before encountering the "alien invasion". But if we really want to make an analogy, it should be in The extinct "dinosaurs" in the ancient history of the earth were also huge, spread all over the planet, and became extinct because they could not find food due to drastic changes in the environment - the archaeological community seems to
There are different opinions, but that has nothing to do with the current problem. Before Melina read out the "setting", Sherlock had been thinking about what would happen if the natural environment of a planet or even a galaxy was directly destroyed like what happened to the seven kingdoms. Disasters can be solved as long as Melina moves her fingers.
After all, the probability of that situation happening has countless zeros after the decimal point, but now it seems that what is to be prevented is actually the extinction of the biological group as the "planet master", but that cannot be solved by pure force.
Judging from the title of the "Pillar of the World" of the Utes and the information obtained from the "Ministry of Magic", what was destroyed was actually a "world line", that is, "the Utes survive as the overlord of the 'Dark Sea'" world line.
To use the analogy of dinosaurs again, it is a world line in which dinosaurs successfully survived some kind of disaster and continued to rule the earth, while human ancestors had to hide in trees.
It was so ruined...ahem.
Although I have met many friendly races other than humans, when I encounter problems, I still prefer humans unconditionally.
Relatively speaking, the Ministry of Magic has a relatively relaxed attitude towards "other world lines". As long as humans dominate the earth, even if they cause a disaster that may destroy them, they will send agents to rescue them.
Hmm? How come it doesn't seem to be very different from what I am about to do? And if I later master some kind of formula to save the world, and start saving the world in batches through "Sherlock's Unpredictability"... it's similar, it's very similar.
However, compared to that small organization that only focuses on the earth and the human world, Melina, who wants to save the world regardless of race, is obviously much more generous.
——
"What was your original plan to save the world?" Sherlock retracted his wandering thoughts and turned to ask Melina, who was just looking "out the window" after reshaping the "Sand World".
For now, just follow the plan she made, and if something unexpected happens, you can immediately "backtrack" and make corrections to see if you can implement it to the end.
"Well... I thought they looked like 'sardines', so I threw a 'catfish' in." Melina replied.
"Lost... what?" Sherlock didn't react for a moment.
He knew the catfish effect, but if the "Ute", which is already large enough, was compared to a small sardine, what would a "catfish" look like?
"Over there." Melina raised her hand and pointed in the direction where the previous shadows went.
Boom! The next moment, where she pointed, a huge red pillar shot into the sky - rising from the sea. With a low roar, everything under the sea was shaking violently. The person who just swam leisurely past Several Utes too
He fled back in a hurry.
During this process, the "viewing pavilion" remained still, and only a low echo came in from the sound that should have been very loud.
It seems feasible to create natural disasters when resources are still abundant to make the Utes feel the crisis and take the initiative to land.
Sherlock was about to make a comment, but found that things had changed further. The pillar of fire, which was probably the eruption of a submarine volcano, gradually cooled and disappeared, but the seafloor rock formations began to crack in large areas and lifted up in all directions. In the end, a huge and incomparable fire pillar , almost completely covering the “viewing window” on one side of the tower
The whole body was covered, and a dark monster with huge thick lips crawled out of the crack in the seabed.
At the same time, the two "beards" located on both sides of its big mouth, which were thicker than the escaped Utes themselves, swept across the seafloor, crushing all the undersea mountains that could barely be seen into pieces.
What a catfish! "[Now is the period of 'second energy development,'" Melina continued to read in a scripted tone while commanding the tower to climb higher: "[The 'food' and 'minerals' on the seabed 'After everything has been discovered, Ute began to drive
Discover the ‘explosive particles’, ‘alien natural gas’ and ‘rare crystals’ beneath the rock formations.]”
"Oh..." Sherlock tried to compare them to earth resources but failed. "[In the process of mining these conventional resources, they discovered 'living metal', 'Zera' and 'dark matter',]" Melina continued Said: "[These rare resources are important raw materials for space technology, but due to premature discovery
It has been misused and wasted on a massive scale.]”
...Is it roughly equivalent to directly burning oil for heating? At this time, the tower has climbed to a height close to the sea surface, and Sherlock can clearly see the animal that climbed out of the submarine volcano, with six legs and four pairs of fins. , a pair of giant "catfish" with long beards, it is angry
Angrily, he rushed towards a large mine not far from the volcano. "[It comes from another world, called 'Zera Collector'. It will actively search for and devour 'Zera', but it will not consume it, but Accumulate it in the body, and if it is successfully hunted, it can be extracted again,]" Mei
Linna looked at Sherlock: "I think it can not only make 'Utes' feel threatened and actively develop technology, but also prevent this rare resource from being wasted."
"Sounds like a good plan," Sherlock nodded: "How did it fail?"
"To fight against the 'Zera Collector', the Utes invented new weapons and then used up the 'living metal' and 'dark matter'."
"That……"
"I also tried the 'Living Metal Ooze Monster' and the 'Dark Matter Cocoon', but Ute couldn't defeat them and ended up being extinct early."
"Tsk." In short, at least on the surface, there is no problem with this plan. Just add variables to prevent Ute from wasting rare resources. In any case, implement it to the end according to the original plan and see what other problems will arise later.
Make new plans when problems arise.
"Speaking of which, what did you do in the mirror?" Sherlock asked.
"What she said," Melina tilted her head to think for a moment, "is that she picked up a ute from the sea, did something to it, and then put it back into the sea."
"Is it spiritual interference? Let the Ute lead the fish to develop technology in a non-wasteful way?" Sherlock asked: "Then what?"
