There are only seven people left in the world, and no one can explain why this situation occurs. Although they have not gone to the mainland to confirm, they can deduce from the infinite silent radio that mankind is finished.
So in the face of Dulan's questions, these smart people had to face the reality, that is, what should they do? Should they strive to have children and reproduce, or should they hope that the petrified people can one day recover?
In short, something must be done, and we can't continue to live like this.
To be honest, the two youngest astronauts cannot accept the reality and have been trying to escape, but escaping is useless, at least in this doomsday environment.
"I believe that one day mankind will be free from petrification, I believe it." This is the island nation's uncle, and he will not give up.
"As long as there are us, humankind will not end." The only couple encouraged each other. They were a legal couple, and they were in their prime and could have many, many children.
In fact, they have all thought about the future, but they are just talking about it now.
"Yes, but I think it's not enough. If humanity is really at the critical point of survival, we must give full play to our characteristics as tool men and spread our best skills. By then, whether it is the rise of new humanity or the resurrection of old humanity,
is useful."
What are you good at?
Of course, their astronauts have special skills. Except for the singers who spend money to go to space, the others are all engineers. They are all elites with strong practical ability and good theoretical level. However, their skills all need to be matched by modern machines. Here,
On a deserted island, even if you have skills, you can't use them.
"The main reason is that this place is too remote. If we land on the mainland, find a city and give birth to a dozen or twenty babies, we can inherit some technologies." Dulan also felt that it was a pity that the last few human beings would fall here.
There is not a single machine around on this barren island, and we have to clear the wasteland with our bare hands. The machines in the city are just old and vacant. If the descendants of the astronauts cannot go to land, then modern industrial civilization will be over.
Already.
"Yes." They also thought so: "It's just that there is only one broken ship on the island, so there is no way to cross the sea. The risk is too great." This is not wrong. Their landing point is far away from the nearest mainland, and only one of them is left.
With so few people, they couldn't take any chances.
"But I won't go. When a few of us die, even if we have many descendants, they won't know how to operate the machine."
Everyone was silent at this point, and the future was uncertain.
"Human beings are really too insignificant, and they are not worth mentioning in the face of the mysterious and unpredictable universe." Only at this moment can we truly feel the insignificance of human beings. So what if we enter the universe? What about scientific discoveries? In the end, it is not a green light.
All petrified.
"So we can no longer rely on machines. We must turn our hands into lathes, turn our eyes into instruments, and let our descendants all become tool workers. Only such an industrial miracle can be possible again.
Now." Duran put forward his own idea.
"You mean to train all children to be skilled workers?"
Dulan thought to himself that he was clearly talking about tool people, but they understood that becoming a mechanic would be fine: "Absolutely."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Even a mechanic must have tools. How can a person perform skills with only ten fingers?
"I have my own way, but we have to start with babies. You are just three couples, so you can work hard to have children." Dulan encouraged them to have children.
The two young ladies are in a big scandal. They are indeed interested in the two bachelors, but they haven't revealed it yet.
But Dulan still said very realistically: "We must give birth as soon as possible. There are no hospitals now, and there is a lack of medical treatment. A cold can wipe out the last human beings. Moreover, food is scarce on the island. It can be seen that everyone will fall into malnutrition in the future."
We are in such a situation. When the time comes to give birth to a child, we will be fighting the god of death, and even if we go wrong, we will die." "And now we must collect as much garbage as possible washed up from the sea. These industrial garbage are our treasures.
Now you must regret not dumping more rubbish into the sea."
"..." This guy is really annoying.
In fact, after Dulan appeared, the two bachelors had a sense of crisis, but now they feel that Dulan's mouth is really unlikable, and the sense of crisis is less. It is impossible not to have a sense of crisis, because now they are like a carrot and a pit.
, there is no possibility of picking and choosing.
Dulan did not want to compete with them for mating rights, but began to live a life of survival on a desert island. Collecting materials, especially industrial waste, the garbage washed up on the island by the waves became treasures.
"Everyone, collect all the metals and put them in glass bottles." The uncle from the island country said this, because he believed that the old mankind would not end like this. If the old mankind restarts one day, these metals that are difficult to extract may become a help to them.
artifact.
The return warehouse that fell on the beach was moved to the center of the island to prevent the typhoon from blowing the return warehouse away. These people have also made plans to live on the island forever.
"Children give birth to children, and children's children will give birth to children. However, the resources on this island are limited, so after a few generations, children will definitely leave the island to find land. We must pass on the method of going to land." As modern people.
You must think carefully about the future and plan for the future.
"Not only that, we also need to pass on the knowledge we know and let them know it through poems, stories, etc." The girls began to collect knowledge and write children's songs and other content for future dissemination.
Dulan did not live with these six people. He chose to live alone on the other side of the island. After all, experts are all mavericks.
In this way, they spent three years on the island, and three pairs of men and women were successfully matched. The life on the island made them look ten years older. In addition, giving birth to children deprived the women of nutrition, so
The woman is much older.
The island is in mourning today because the youngest woman is sick. At first she just had a cough, but now she is coughing up blood. She is obviously suffering from a lung infection and is terminally ill.
There is no way to treat people trapped on a desert island. The woman's husband is crying and shouting that he wants to go to sea to find medicine. As long as he goes to the mainland and finds medicine, his wife can be cured.
But in the vast sea, there is a lonely boat. Even if you are lucky enough to find the mainland, how can you come back? The time wasted back and forth, it is better for them to spend it as a couple.
Death is finally coming. Originally, there were only a few single seedlings of human beings, and each one died. Seeing death coming, the remaining astronauts felt that death was so terrible and cruel.
In the steel jungle, they didn't think that death would be so powerful, because they had medical institutions, doctors, nurses and antibiotics, but now they are defenseless in the natural environment. They are just ants in front of the god of death, and they can deal with minor illnesses and disasters.
can take away their lives.
Everyone is crying. Things that they did not understand before when they were born under the protection of industrial civilization, now they finally understand. They understand why the ancients worshiped wind, rain, thunder and lightning, why they were afraid of venomous scorpions and beasts, and why humans have such a fear of green shadows in their genes.
Because wild beasts like to hide in green shadows and ambush humans, and humans are best at finding enemies in green shadows.
