Extra Chapter 8 (Current Times): An Unimagined Road
However, although the conflict between the Kutians and the Akkadians was temporarily resolved, the Elamites who were killed at the beginning did not stop revolting. Their remnants went into the mountains further north and found several groups of coveted enemies on the edges of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
One group of the fertile nomads in the two rivers was the Amorites (later Babylonians), while the other group was even more ferocious and good at fighting, and they were the Assyrians.
These types of people are all derived from the ancient Samites, and their several branches are Semites, Canaanites, Ugaritics, Phoenicians, and Assyrians.
In addition, in the northern area, across the mountains and rivers, there are also Hurrits from the Caucasus, and the Xitai people (post-Hittites) who emerged from a certain mountain range in the east.
Therefore, the trade routes in Sumer are now also facing intrusion from northern nomads. However, the advantage compared to eastern nomads is that the Central Asian hunting tribes did not ride horses when they plundered.
But a donkey...
Therefore, when the Sumerians, who are now domesticating horses on a large scale, appeared in front of these nomads on their tall horses, the donkeys were frightened and howled wildly, and they were instantly defeated.
But the Northern Safari members will not give up easily. Even if they are riding donkeys, they still have the perseverance not to admit defeat.
Let’s ride on a donkey and read the songbook—we’ll see!
This has resulted in the current unstable situation of trade routes, and occasionally there will be trade routes that are successfully robbed. After all, not every trade route is escorted by experts.
Of course, there was also a speechless thing, that is, the distance from Tianfang City to Lagash is connected by a short railway track. In order to better transport materials, it was built in recent years, and the gang riding donkeys
A man who once had the audacity to rob a train.
They stood on the railway track, facing the approaching train, and issued an attack declaration of "Look at me, you bastard!"
The result was that seventy or eighty donkeys were killed by the train, and the robbers were lifted into the sky together, with flesh and blood flying everywhere along the way. The scene was so bloody that it could not be broadcast on children's channels.
It is said that after the incident, the conductor of this batch of trains was awarded the honorary title of "Outstanding Citizen" and "One Rider Can Equip a Thousand" by the monarch of the local city-state.
From then on, the safari tribes in the north understood one thing: they must not grab the iron chariot that was rushing forward with smoke on its head, otherwise it would be a disaster of righteousness.
After being hit a few times, I have enough experience in avoiding disasters, so just don't go to places with railroad tracks.
The northern part of Bactria is not peaceful either. In recent years, a group of hunting tribes have arrived near Bactria from the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River in the north, north of the Aral Sea, and from the Ural Mountains. After discovering the fertility of the land of Bactria,
After that, they immediately launched a charge with a roar, and then they didn't look at the traffic lights when crossing the railway tracks, and a number of people were killed by the train.
Another scene of blood and flesh and blood that cannot be broadcast.
However, the batch of trains heading to Bactria seemed to have inadvertently blocked the Aryans from going south.
In the last car accident, the Aryan people had obviously never seen this kind of steel behemoth that breathed steam and possessed indestructible power.
They lost dozens of people in their first charge. Although the train was forced to speed up,... was it worth it?
The frightened Aryan thugs returned to the middle reaches of the Amu Darya River and began to run their own thug territory. They still refused to give up on Daxia and did nothing more than the three things that the nomads did - robbery, robbery, and so on.
robbery!
Zero-dollar shopping activities are rampant all over the world, and the calls for suppressing bandits in various places are becoming more and more intense. There are 720 anti-bandit campaigns and 360 beacon wars, which is really frustrating.
In the post-Persian mythology of Avesta, it is said that they originated from an ancient tribe called Feliton. When his king was old, he divided the world and let his eldest son Tur rule the east. They evolved into the Tur people, a Turkic people.
The ancestors of humans; the second son Salem ruled the west and was the ancestor of the Romans; the youngest son Aryan ruled the south-central part and evolved into the Elamites and was the ancestor of the Aryans.
And this Feliton is the source group of the ancient Indo-Europeans.
And if the Aryans did not control the land of Bactria, there would be no way to continue going south and then destroy ancient India in five hundred years... By the way, by then, the city of Mohenjodaro in ancient India would be destroyed.
That group of Aryans, their leader and hero, was called Indra.
At the same time, almost all the gods worshiped in the Vedic era, including the prehistoric gods before the Vedic era, were Aryan leaders and heroes.
In the Rigveda, Vritra, described as Indra's lifelong enemy, was actually a heroic figure in ancient Indian civilization.
However, he was defeated and died in the process of resisting the invasion. In the post-Vedic era, he became the incarnation of chaos, the master of demons, and the serpent monster conceived in the darkness. It is said that Indra descended into the world to conquer him.
As for the demons, they are the ancient Indians, later the slaves "Dasa". They were called "demons" in the classics of the post-Vedic era, until they became the untouchables in the long evolution.
Luo.
And after the advent of the Atharva Vedas in the late Vedic era, Vritra, along with other ancient Indian leaders Bipala, Bacchen, etc. who were killed by Indra, evolved into Asuras!
The foreign invaders were promoted to gods in the heavens, and the local heroes of ancient India became demons under the Nine Earths.
.........
On the Tulan Plain north of Daxia, a group of safari tribes temporarily settled here. Inside the tight tents made of fur and hay, a large group of safari branch leaders gathered, discussing nervously.
Issues.
They came from the north, from the Ural Mountains to the Aral Sea, from the Aral Sea to the Turan Plain, and from the Turan Plain they invaded Bactria, and then dozens of people were killed by trains.
All the leaders thought this was outrageous.
The scattered small tribes we saw along the way from the north, no matter what ancient race they were, were basically in the Paleolithic Age. Compared with the hunting tribes like them who had invented the round rolling wooden wheel cart, they were not at all
There is no ability to resist.
This kind of round wooden wooden wheeled cart is a front-end technology that ancient people often promoted before they introduced the two arms of chariot and cavalry. It is also the kind of ancient carriage made by Danzhu in the past. The wheels have no spokes.
So, with the carriage and the early chariot soldiers, this should be double the happiness, but why?
Why do I inexplicably see things that I can’t understand at all in this fertile land in the south?
The leaders fell into deep thought.
As for why they went south...
First of all, the climate of the Ural Mountains is continental, characterized by temperature polarization, which is either extremely high or extremely low. This characteristic is gradually obvious from north to south and from west to east.
Of course, the western slopes of the Ural Mountains are warm and humid in this era, and the westerly wind blowing from the Atlantic carries abundant water vapor. Even if a place like the Mediterranean encounters a period of drought, it will not suddenly fall into sixty years like Egypt.
The Great Famine, the climate of heaven and earth is such a magical thing, and human beings can only live in accordance with the changes of heaven and earth.
The four words "survival of the fittest" have never changed, but when adapting to the world, whether it is an active adaptation or a passive adaptation, it all depends on your own ability.
Moreover, to the west of the Ural Mountains is the huge Tonghai Sea in ancient times. It has not yet become a plain in this era...but it is more dangerous there. The reason is because a big fish and a dragon will fight each other.
Every time I have to stir things up completely before I give up.
In the past hundreds of years, their ancestors migrated and migrated again and again to avoid natural disasters caused by climate change and tribal attrition. They did not know where they came from along the way. After hundreds of years of migration, they finally arrived in the Ural Mountains.
the southwest side of.
Therefore, in the absence of climate change, it is unwise to leave your original place.
but!
The tradition since ancient times is to make preparations for "backup". That is, after this piece of land cannot be hunted and inhabited, where will the next piece of land that can be suitable for habitation be located? In other words, how many years will it take until a few years later?
Ten years from now, hundreds of years from now, where will the tribe migrate next?
If you migrate improperly, your race will be exterminated, so you must find the next habitat in advance. Changes in climate between heaven and earth are unpredictable, but people have legs and will leave their homeland. Human actions and future
The destination can be known.
And not long ago...
"A year and a half ago, people who came to the south of the sea in advance to explore the place to live returned to our tribe and told us in the north of the sea that there were fertile plains and boundless rivers and rivers in the south of the sea.
There are many rich tribes in the grassland, so we went all the way south and attacked those tribes, completing our expansion to the east. We are gradually getting stronger. This should be a happy thing two in one, but why
....."
"But can anyone tell me what the black leather thing that his mother used to attack us is?"
So damn good! Open the bottle!
Among the leaders, a middle-aged man questioned several injured leaders in an extremely angry tone. This man was a handsome white man, wearing a shining armor and cloak, holding a rope and a lasso made of snakes.
.
As for the leaders who were questioned, they were silent, mentally depressed, missing arms and legs, and even lost their reproductive capacity. However, they were lucky enough to survive the dump truck accident.
Okay, after all, I survived, so what else do I need for a bicycle?
"Great chief Varuna, heaven and earth belong to you, day and night are your clothes!"
"I have a bold idea! I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
Varuna, the king of heaven who originated before the Vedic era and before Indra, was worshiped in the early Vedic era. He was also the tribal leader of the Aryans in the ancient times and a hero of his tribe. His title is
The one who governs all is the god who reigns in the sky and controls the light.
Varuna looked at the strong man who was speaking and was very happy:
"My number one warrior, Agni, the one in charge of fire! Speak!"
Agni suggested: "I have discovered that the black monster that spits out heat mist cannot be stopped by human power, but it seems that it must have two long, black and hard looking monsters.
It can only move if it has two long pieces, which means those two long things are what it relies on to run."
"This thing is very important... Moreover, under the body of the black giant beast, there are also those wheels, which are similar to ours, but the thing that emits power is the one at the front that can spray steam. Think about it,
Animals are needed to pull goods, so the square thing at the back is the body of the car...so!"
"The thing in front is actually an evolved giant beast. It lies on the wheels, activates its own magical power, and pulls the cars behind it to run!"
"It's like an animal pulling a wheelbarrow!"
"Yes, this city-state called Daxia (the railway station security room) is actually a tribe that is very good at taming giant beasts! As long as we break through their defense (the brick wall outside the station), we can capture this tamed giant beast.
With our methods and means, we will be invincible!"
"As long as this is so, so and so..."
Agni's suggestion was to go to the train station at night and steal the rails.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Varuna said: "My Agni! You are indeed the bravest Agni! Your suggestion is very effective. I have unilaterally decided that this matter must be implemented immediately, no later than nightfall in two days.
In an instant, you can reach the place where the black-skinned giant beast passed by."
"This time we will definitely wash away our shame! Everyone, if you have any other ideas, you might as well say them all!"
Someone opened the chat box, and immediately someone hit the snake with a stick.
"Concerning your bold idea, I have a little immature suggestion."
"As for your immature suggestion, I have a detailed plan."
"I have a key to add to your detailed plan."
"As for the key point you added, I have a high-quality executive body."
"I have some objective opinions about your high-quality executive body."
"Concerning your objective opinion, I have a decent funeral method..."
For a moment, the leaders who had been lifeless before suddenly felt as if they had been on stimulants. The operation of stealing the rails made them excited, thinking that they could regain their lost dignity in front of the black giant beast.
"Very good! Everyone spoke enthusiastically! Then go back and prepare. In the evening two days later, I hope that all members of our tribe will stand at the place where the black giant beast appears!"
"Mitra, Khotar, Rudra, Yajna, Visukarma, Pushan, Surya, Daksha, Aditi! I hope you will not betray my trust this time, and you must use those things
Completely dismantle it and let the black giant overturn!"
Varuna gave the order, and the leaders of these tribes immediately dispersed and began to make hasty and nervous preparations.
Two days later.
Starting from the middle reaches of the Amu Darya River, they chanted the slogan "My mother, your mother" and arrived at the railway track where they lost their mother. In the distance, you can see that the brick wall that was broken open last time has been repaired.
As night fell and the stars were turning, Varuna looked at the traffic lights near the railway tracks with a serious expression.
"Chief, do you want to take action immediately?"
"slow!"
Varuna looked at the bright red color, glanced at the group of people with extremely confident and calm eyes, and then slowly uttered two pretentious words:
"idiot."
The leaders were confused. Varuna, as if he had discovered a new world, pointed at the signal machine inside the railway and scolded them:
"I discovered this detail last time."
"If this ball shows green, then the black-skinned giant beast will pass through here soon. Walking to the front at this time is a dangerous move."
The signal is green and runs at the specified speed.
"And that time, after hitting and killing our warrior, the black-skinned giant beast suddenly accelerated. I saw it run away, and then the bright ball turned red."
"And not only that, several of these things along the way have turned red!"
"This shows that red is a safe color."
(Red: Subsequent vehicles are prohibited from passing.)
The leaders were enlightened and started shouting!
"As expected of the great leader of Varou!"
"Your wisdom is as good as heaven and earth!"
"Lonely people are always good at observing..."
Varuna was very proud. He pressed his hands to signal everyone to keep a low profile and not to be arrogant. They were still within the enemy's control. It would be bad if such a loud noise attracted the people on the opposite side.
I purposely found a far away place to steal the rails, but if I was discovered, wouldn’t my success end in failure?
After all, how can a normal person squat by the railway track in the middle of the night and brag? He is either a thief or a thief.
Wuwuwu——!
The sound of the train rang in the distance, Varuna's spirit perked up, and the other leaders immediately fell silent!
The giant black beast blew out white smoke and ran past the railway tracks with extremely arrogant and domineering power. Varuna and a group of others were hiding behind the brick wall used to block outside beasts from entering the railway tracks, feeling the ground.
Shocked, and at the same time amazed by the vast power of this giant beast.
If it can be used by them, wouldn't it be easy to expand one's territory and become the master of ten thousand tribes?
"This giant beast keeps running, does its power have an endless supply?"
"In short, as long as we can master how to tame it, we will be invincible!"
"That's right. First of all, we have to force this giant beast off its lying wheels. To do this, it is necessary to break these heavy long strips and steal all these things!"
"As long as there is no such giant beast, attacking Daxia shouldn't be too easy!"
The leaders were gearing up, as if they had seen themselves riding such a giant beast across the grassland.
Varuna looked at the traffic light and suddenly clapped his hands: "It's red!"
"Frozen hands!"
The voice was a little distorted. But after giving the order, countless stone axes and shovels took turns to attack the rails and knocked hard on the rails!
when!
broken!
The stone ax cracked immediately, and the ax head and ax handle "separated" immediately. The flying ax hit his teammate at once. A brave warrior was accidentally killed by his own people before he could start his work.
The leaders responsible for raising the rails suddenly gasped and stopped global warming!
"What a hard thing! Is this the deified copper?"
At this time, among the many leaders, the wise multi-star Agni, who is famous for his bravery, once again had a flash of inspiration!
"It seems that only copper can be defeated!"
"Chiefs, don't be stingy with the weapons in your hands, take them out and work quickly!"
Agni urged them. During the previous expedition south, they obtained a lot of bronzes. The group reluctantly took them out, and then knocked on the railroad tracks again!
when!
In a classic re-release, the bronze ax also acted separately, flying out in a graceful counterattack arc and killing his teammates!
"Aditi! Aditi, what's wrong with you? Aditi! You died before you even attacked!"
"What a shame! This thing (referring to the railway track) actually killed Aditi, who was my brother!"
With the hatred of avenging their brothers, the leaders continued to fight against the railway tracks with mixed grief and anger. However, the I-beam could not be pried, and there was a dimensional difference in hardness between stone tools and steel. But equally, the careful leader Varuna,
Found the connecting plate on the railway track.
"Stop knocking! Come over and pry this! You see, there is a gap between these two things, which are fixed with this hard board. Get rid of these raised bumps on the outside and take this board away. This thing will not work.
used."
"As expected of a leader! He can always find problems in small places like this!"
"Lonely people are always good at observing."
Everyone was having sex in full swing when they were suddenly covered by a bright light!
At this time, they were like novice dancers who were under the spotlight on the stage. They were at a loss for a moment. The staff who was holding the flashlight was also stunned for a moment, then picked up the speaker and let out a loud roar!
"Someone stole the rails!"
woo woo woo woo--!
The steam siren made a loud sound, and the originally silent station in the distance immediately made a huge noise! The leaders, with pale faces, dropped their crime tools in a panic and fled towards the north.
After running back to the temporary stronghold, Varuna was breathing heavily. This time they brought not many people. If they were discovered by the enemy at the station, they would really be captured alive, but this time it was futile.
On the contrary, it made the other party wary.
In the next two or three days, Varuna looked at the north side of the station many times and found that searchlights were shining all the way over there, and there were people patrolling in the middle of the night in smoke-emitting monsters (tractors).
"What should we do, leader? Our plan seems to have failed. Is the only option left is to attack by force?"
"Yes, leader, I have an immature suggestion."
Agni blew out a breath of smoke and once again expressed his opinion with his muscular and proud IQ: "Now that the big leader already knows, the black-skinned giant beast will only appear when there is green light, and when there is red light,
It will run away, which shows!"
"I thought about it carefully and I think! This giant beast must be afraid of red light, so as long as we hold torches, wear red things, or paint ourselves red, then this giant beast will not dare to approach us.
Got it!"
All the leaders’ eyes lit up!
"O Agni! Agni, who is in charge of fire and is extremely wise! You are such a smart person!"
"In this case, we don't have to be afraid of the giant beast and can attack the opponent at any time!"
Varuna pondered for a moment, and then said to Agni: "However, even if there are no black behemoths, they still have many small smoke-breathing behemoths. Are these behemoths also afraid of the color red?"
Agni volunteered and beat his chest: "Big leader, I am willing to sneak into the other side's tribe and observe the movements of those giant beasts, so as to help our great tribe achieve the ultimate victory!"
Varuna was very grateful: "Okay! Then I will send you, and I will give you five more warriors. You must ensure your own safety and do not be discovered by the people on the opposite side!"
