Chapter 329: The Battle of the Most Powerful Evolutionary
Jiutian looked at the giant creature outside the window and took a sip of tea.
It is already the eighth day, but people are still talking about it. Jiutian feels very bored, because this matter has made his work difficult these days. Since it has no impact, just ignore it. If you are anxious
It’s useless, so what’s the point of being anxious?
Jiutian shook his head.
He is not a special or important person in any aspect. Among the more than seven billion people on this planet, he is just the most ordinary and weakest human being. He just celebrated his twenty-fourth birthday not long ago.
I also spent twenty-four years in an ordinary way. After graduating from the most ordinary school, I found the most ordinary job and did the most ordinary things.
So when that thing arrived, Jiutian was only slightly surprised, but soon discovered that humans couldn't even slightly affect the will of that thing, so he stopped paying attention. He was just an ordinary person. If there was something
If the entire human race is helpless about something, then it is meaningless to an ordinary person like him. A meaningless thing is not worthy of anyone's attention, no matter how eye-catching it is, or even
It set off huge waves around the world.
Although this is said, compared to Jiutian's indifference, the craze set off by the entire planet is greater than in the past thousands of years combined. Because of the existence of that thing, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, history, biology
, physics, mysticism...almost all disciplines have some theories and discoveries that need to be reinterpreted or even overturned.
Countless media and short video photographers gathered from all directions to 12,800 places on the earth. Faced with this magnitude of crowds, violent law enforcement agencies such as the military and police seemed powerless for the first time. Some governments tried to solve the problem through legislation.
People flocked to areas where that thing existed, but the result was that all the prisons and jails were full, and the number of violent crimes in their areas increased exponentially.
Jiutian's city is relatively better, but the streets are still crowded with all kinds of people. He never uses the anti-theft lock function, but when he sees a large number of people pitching tents on the grass suddenly pouring out of the community,
After meeting a stranger, now I have to lock the anti-theft lock every day when I go out.
I got off work in more than an hour. Jiutian looked at the shadow of the huge thing suspended over the city in the sunset and wondered if the journey home today would be smooth. It was not like he was not the same as everyone else.
I have thought about the changes this thing may bring to the world, but I still feel powerless. I even think those who come to watch are a bit ridiculous. If this thing is really harmful, then aren't they themselves the first to suffer? This
Is this kind of fun thing really more important than life?
Since he didn’t have anyone to contact, Jiutian didn’t really want to check his phone. As soon as he opened it, there was an overwhelming number of push messages about that thing, which were the concerns of his mother and a few good friends. Because he was in his own city, and his mother
He was so worried about Jiutian that he asked Jiutian to take leave and go home more than once. He himself didn't take it seriously, because if something really happened, it would be useless to go back to his hometown. These words made Jiutian suffer for half an hour.
scold.
Jiutian is not talking nonsense, but he is really qualified to say so.
Eight days ago at night, that huge creature like an upright "ray" pierced the clouds illuminated by the moonlight, like a man-eating shark quietly emerging from the dark deep sea, slowly descending in front of the horrified eyes of countless people.
in this city.
The huge head diameter of the "ray" covers almost half of the city, but the "trunk" that narrows from top to bottom is only a few meters in the end. Such a huge gap in the shape of any object is only
It may make people feel ugly, but it is breathtakingly harmonious.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but the “tail” that was only a few dozen centimeters above the ground landed right in front of Jiutian who was taking a walk after dinner. The surface of the thing was made of a frosted material, and the specific color was not clear whether it was black or black.
Gray, if I had to say it, it was similar to the color of the clouds illuminated by the moonlight at night. Everyone around him was so scared that he ran away, but Jiutian only had surprise and confusion in his heart, and he stretched out his hand towards the "tail" and gently
He rested lightly on it.
Jiutian may not know that his touch is the first time this civilization has directly come into contact with the products of other civilizations, and the touch on his palm may be a feeling that Jiutian will never forget for the rest of his life. It obviously has a frosted shell.
, but when it came into contact with his hands, it was as smooth and moist as jade, and at the same time, it had a real grainy feeling on his hands. And the next moment, he was swept away by a horrified crowd.
Even after a long time, that strange and fatally attractive touch still lingered in his mind. That is, the moment he put his hand on that "tail", even if he didn't know that thing at the time
What it is, but Jiutian has already felt an instinctive threat from the deepest part of his life towards its existence.
After returning home after a lot of effort that day, Jiutian felt that he was exhausted and fell asleep on the bed without even washing up. He had not dreamed for a long time and had a strange dream that day. In his dream, he fell asleep.
The behemoth just stared at him quietly, and he couldn't do anything. He could only "look at each other" with the uninvited guest. The word "look at each other" is actually not appropriate, because the thing didn't actually have "eyes".
Something. But Jiutian always felt that he was being "watched" by it, so he just looked at it until he woke up. The feeling was so real that it even made him wake up the next day.
For a long time, there was a moment when I couldn't distinguish between reality and dream. And this kind of dream continued continuously in the next few days, and there was no tendency to end.
Seven days ago, the area around that thing was sealed off, and everyone's transportation and daily life were hindered in different ways. And the existence of that thing was spread to most places on the planet through the Internet.
Six days ago, after communication from all governments, it was quickly confirmed that the number of this thing existed, which was 12,800, evenly distributed in all human settlements, and had the same appearance, the same proportion, and the same size.
At the same time, one-tenth of the planet's population began to flow to these 12,800 areas, as if there was some magic calling them.
Five days ago, in the face of increasingly popular parades and demonstrations, a country that was in the midst of an election was the first to expose in order to compete for votes, in addition to advance research on the mysterious things that had descended on the planet, the result was: "Nothing at all."
"No gain." According to the highest-precision military-grade measuring instruments currently available with technology, to the extent that they can capture an error of 1.5 microns, humans still have not found any difference in these 12,800 behemoths, which means that these 12,800 things
They are exactly the same in appearance. Scientists speculate that even if human civilization and technology develop for another thousand years, they will not be able to create products of this level. At the same time, all detection instruments currently owned by humans, including radar, sonar and infrared detection
Without their existence, this thing is like air in all detection instruments, which is why there is no movement at all in the planet's defense equipment when it arrives. The only way to observe them is with the naked eye, and
There is touch.
Four days ago, because no harmful effects occurred for three consecutive days, some cities with unknown objects began to gradually unblock, including the city where Jiutian is located. Some extremist organizations and religions began to advocate "miracles" and "gods".
"punishment"
Three days ago, the city where Jiutian was located began to experience material shortages and panic buying. The price of all food tripled and that of drinking water nearly five times.
Two days ago, the tide of discussion on the topic of UFOs continued to rise, and all means of public opinion guidance were almost out of control.
One day ago, it had been a week since UFOs landed on the earth. The number of people shot and killed in the United States due to random approaches exceeded 1,000. Demonstrations intensified, and regimes in small countries in South Africa and Southeast Asia were overturned.
In a few hours, it will be the ninth day. Jiutian looked at his watch and started packing his things to get off work.
The street was still surrounded by water. It took a lot of effort for Jiutian to get through the crowd. He didn’t know what was left in the supermarket. Fortunately, Jiutian cooked by himself at home, so he habitually
The refrigerator is full of ingredients, but they can only last for a week at most.
Returning to the familiar street, the familiar neighborhood was full of unfamiliar people. After confirming that the door lock was still intact, it took a long time to open the door and go in.
His life is different from that of most young people, and can even be considered "boring." It may be because Jiutian himself has no hobbies, so so-called entertainment activities are basically insulated from him. The only "interest" is
Reading. So Jiutian’s home has always been filled with all kinds of books, ranging from classics to some essays that no one has read. “Reading” is the only pleasure in Jiutian’s leisure time, and the other is “playing”.
"Game". Jiutian is somewhat obsessed with open world and management games. According to his words, these games and books have one thing in common, which is "recreating a world." He will be obsessed with and amazed by those producers and
The author's fantastic imagination does not mean that he has any opinions on the real world. It just means that after 20 years of experience in this world, it is good to have other fresh feelings, and he does have some talent for playing games.
I was flipping through the book for a long time, and the live broadcast was playing on my computer. The chaotic and lively scene made people completely uninterested. Suddenly, such a sentence popped up in a dialog box.
"Could this thing be a colonizer? I always feel that those things are here to collect planet data."
"Rebuttal." Jiutian started typing on the keyboard without thinking. "If you were reclaiming land and suddenly discovered an island with resource value, but there was a group of monkeys on the island, what would you do?"
"If I'm kinder, I'll drive away the monkeys, or I'll capture them in the zoo, and if I'm crueler, I'll kill them directly."
"Wouldn't you like to send a few detectors over to explore for a few days?"
"...Most likely not. They are just monkeys. Even if they develop into a stone civilization, they will not pose a threat to me."
"That's it, for that level of civilization, we are just monkeys." Jiutian replied seriously, "Just like monkeys can't understand humans, the idea of us trying to understand a civilization higher than ours is ridiculous."
"It's really sad that humans have become monkeys in an instant."
"It's normal. We are not special in the first place. It is our arrogance that hinders our understanding. Giordano Bruno, Ceco Dascoli, Servetus... those who have broken the idea that human beings think of themselves
What will be the final fate of the harbinger of the center’s arrogant delusions?”
"Burned to death."
"Yes, he was burned to death."
Jiutian chatted with each other. As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and the person on the other end of the dialog box is also Jiutian's rare confidant. He has been his best friend since high school and is also very interested in astronomy and geography.
After the simple exchange, Jiutian opened several niche forums. The originally lifeless astronomy section has been growing like bamboo shoots after the rain in the past few days. The number of replies to the newly posted discussion thread did not take long to reach 99.
I picked out a few posts from familiar IDs and clicked on them. They were all conspiracy theories. The aborigines were buried under the influx of ordinary people and marketing accounts, and real astronomical posts were also discussed in various ways.
The post went down. Some people on these forums are already very familiar with Jiutian. After all, this is a small circle. Some even sent private messages complaining that no one read them when there were few people in the past. Now that there are more people, they still take turns when speaking.
Without bookworms like them, Jiutian had no choice but to comfort them one by one.
The whole world has been like a boiling hot pot for a few days here, with all kinds of ingredients rolling excitedly on the planet. On the best side, the planet has become more vibrant than ever before, on the worst side
It is said that the order of this world is gradually collapsing.
Rubbing his brows, Jiutian no longer wanted to think about these issues. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Ordinary people like him are just screws in a huge civilization. With him or without him, the world will still be the same.
It was running, so there was no point worrying about it. I opened the curtains and looked outside for a long time. The lights were still bright. I wonder if I can buy food tomorrow? The supplies in the refrigerator are almost gone, and such a chaotic situation is not good.
Know when to start.
I got sleepy earlier than usual today, and Jiutian yawned. It's already the ninth day, and those things still haven't moved. No one knows how long it will be suspended there. It will consume something if it is suspended.
, if there is consumption, there will always be a day when it will be exhausted. Even if the technological content of that thing is far beyond human understanding, it is unlikely to break the law of energy conservation. This also means that it will eventually have some movement. When it is passive,
, the best way is to find ways to solve problems.
His mind was more groggy than usual. He lay in bed for a long time and felt that he would fall asleep quickly today, but he was a little reluctant to sleep these days because the strange dreams have been lingering since the arrival of that thing, and it has been tormenting him until now.
He is eight days old.
The 12,800 mysterious objects on this planet are suspended quietly in the sky everywhere, as if they have been overlooking this land for thousands of years. If this situation continues, human beings may gradually adapt to its existence.
, just like countless times before, even forgetting its origin, just treating it as a part of this world and one's own life.
Maybe I struggled for only a few minutes and finally fell asleep. After all, reading or thinking are very energy-consuming things. Today's dream also came quickly. In the dream, the huge "ray"
He was still watching himself silently, and he had been observing it in his dream all night, and almost remembered all its details. Jiutian also compared the thing in his dream with the thing in reality, and they were no different. Although
It is said that the human subconscious can record many things, but Jiuzhen really doubts whether his subconscious can record such a complex thing in such detail and feed it back to the dream in such a real way. If not, then all this cannot be explained.
Everything may be attributed to that extraterrestrial visitor.
It was a familiar dream again, but this time the dream made Jiutian feel a little uncomfortable. Yes, this time the feeling in the dream was clearer and more real than usual. He who could not move and could only observe even moved his fingers.
