"My name is Long Yuan, captain of the frontline troops."
"The armed forces responsible for commanding the battleships."
The third-level dragon slowly spoke and introduced himself.
Lin Feng then asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time:
"Why did you leave Blue Star in the first place?"
Captain Long Yuan looked at the humans in front of him and sighed.
Its evolutionary level is only at the early stage of the third level. Although it is already a top-notch existence on this battleship, it is still not enough to look at the entire Blue Star or this expedition fleet.
After all, the one in front of me, as an evolutionary descendant of the Blue Star mammals, according to the report of the Dragon Lizard Team, is a species called humans...
Not only is his strength not weak, but he already possesses the fourth-level cosmic life form.
This point is slightly different from the report results of the Dragon Lizard Team. For example, according to their observations...
The humans who originally ruled the Blue Star used a sky-wide telescope to see the birth of intelligent species in the center of the cosmic channel of the dinosaur family five thousand light-years away.
Civilization had just entered the primitive days of slavery.
Even if what they received at that time was just the light message emitted from the Blue Star five thousand years ago...
But according to the scale of cosmic civilization, five thousand years is just a fleeting generation of dragons that passed by in the blink of an eye.
The blue star calendar time they used, three hundred and sixty-five days in a blue star year, is only equivalent to a blink of an eye.
According to the chronology of the Orion Eternal Protoss...
Taking the 250 million-year rotation period of the Milky Way as one era, 700,000 years is one degree of year, and 10,000 years is one degree of month.
And five thousand years is only equivalent to half a month.
For life forms of the second stage of evolution that only have a life span of a thousand years, five thousand years is indeed a long time. However, for high-level life forms of the third stage, which have a life span of ten thousand years, five thousand years is only the first half of their lives.
Only the cosmic beings of the fourth level and above can easily live a long life of one hundred thousand or one million years. For them, a thousand years is just a short journey in their lives.
Just like one year or one month in a human's hundred-year life span, it is not worth mentioning.
And if five thousand years are put on the scale of civilization, it will be like a fleeting glimpse, passing by in a hurry.
Take the Dragon Clan, an intelligent civilization on Blue Star, as an example. It was only after the mass extinction of Synapsids before the Permian that they found the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Blue Star's food chain and become the overlord of Blue Star...
All the way from a sauromorph crawling on four legs to an egg-laying animal, only a dozen centimeters or tens of centimeters in size, it evolved all the way to become the dominant blue star.
The Permian Period 300 million years ago was the last era of the Paleozoic Era and lasted for 50 million years. This period was also the end of the old era and the prelude to the new era.
Starting from each reptile in the class Sauromorpha...
The Dragon Clan began its own billion-year growth plan.
In the 50 million years from the Permian to the Triassic, their primitive reptilian life evolved into large dinosaurs and various reptile branches...
Including crocodiles, snakes, turtles, as well as blue dragons, plesiosaurs, etc. in the ocean.
Animals of the class Reptiles occupy the upper and top positions of all ecological niches and continue to do so until the next era.
After 50 million years of evolutionary development, reptilian animals finally occupied the entire Blue Star and completed their initial evolution. Many leaders of the reptilian races have evolved to the first stage, and even the second stage, with large size and strength. Powerful giant reptile.
They are also called clan leader-level behemoths. With their powerful second-level strength, they lead the clan to grow and continue.
The final development result of a high degree of evolution is naturally the development of intelligence and brain that is compensated by late development.
Because although reptiles have full talents in terms of physical fitness, their body functions are second only to those of arthropods, and their adaptability is also very high...
Compared with the first-generation landing plus in the initial era, the reptiles chose to balance the physical and mental directions to ensure a certain degree of spiritual and intellectual level to ensure adaptability to the environment.
When the environment deteriorates, they will go out to seek new habitats, instead of just living in one area for generations and adapting to the environment with a set of physiological structures like the original arthropods.
But once the environment mutates, a large number of people will die until the population becomes extinct.
Today, they have become the veritable bottom of the food chain.
At the end of the Paleozoic Era before the Permian, when synapsids were on the rise, reptiles lived by preying on lower-level arthropods. Now, 50 million years have passed, and they have become lower-level synapsids, and they still rely on prey. Lives on arthropods and insects.
In addition to using huge changes in sample size to bet that there are species that can survive, they are not willing to improve the brain structure and enhance individual intelligence to develop the group from primitive life to civilization.
After 50 million years of evolution, the reptiles that became the overlord of Blue Star came to the Triassic period 250 million years ago, the early beginning of the Mesozoic Era.
At that time, the reptiles, like the first two overlords who once occupied the entire Blue Star, faced a major decision.
Like the arthropods, they are content to enjoy the status quo and improve the evolution of the group and stagnate; or are they like continuing to follow the hegemonic hegemon of the previous era, on the road to physical enhancement, without looking back? rush.
Eventually the reptiles chose two lines of development.
One is to continue to advance on the road of physical enhancement just like the Synapsids, to ensure that the external physical strength continues to increase, to ensure that their own race can have an advantage among the reptiles of Blue Star, and will not be classified under the racial category. Eliminated by involution.
And the other one is specializing in spiritual wisdom...
and the awakening known as self-awareness.
As a backhand left behind by reptiles.
At the same time, the evolution and development of the entire ethnic group is also through the rapid improvement of physical fitness. After occupying the dominant position, it gradually focuses on the compensation and improvement of mental attributes.
While the physical system continued to develop, it evolved into the largest terrestrial life form in the history of Blue Star, a family of dinosaurs that was gradually born in the late Triassic period.
They include the herbivore Diplodocus and the carnivore Tyrannosaurus Rex, both of which are the most perfect evolutionary creations in the entire history of life on Blue Star.
On the other side, the seeds planted in the early Triassic period were reptiles with spiritual wisdom as the core of their development. The other branch successfully evolved into the first civilization in the history of Blue Star during the Jurassic period.
An advanced reptilian civilization dominated by reptilian lizardmen and dragon lizards.
They have been dormant for years for this moment.
Because the body structure of reptiles is far stronger than the mental attributes in terms of physical properties, and at the same time, in order to use the mass extinction of organisms that began in the Permian period, the environment changed dramatically with alternating cold and hot...
They have evolved the ability to adapt to changes in temperature and can adapt to the temperature of the environment and regulate their own body temperature in hot and cold environments.
They grow very quickly in high-temperature environments, and can grow several times in size in a few months. In low-temperature environments, they hibernate, reducing body functions to the lowest level, and the heartbeat can even slow down to five minutes.
Use this to survive the long cold winter or dry season.
Even on the Blue Star 60 million years later, the descendants of many reptiles, including crocodiles, turtles, and snakes, still retain this genetic ability. Because of their strong ability to adapt to the environment, reptiles are also called cold-blooded animals, but later generations of mammals and humans prefer to call them cold-blooded animals.
It has something to do with the sinister and sinister appearance of reptiles.
Although cold-blooded is just a literal meaning, there are still many humans who think that reptiles are cold-blooded killers without intelligence and white-eyed wolves who are not well-raised.
In fact, they also have individuals with outstanding intelligence.
Especially the crocodile, a masterpiece of evolution over hundreds of millions of years, some individuals in its group have not low mental IQs.
And the overall intelligence is actually better than most mammals.
Therefore, they are still the leaders in their respective ecological chains, second only to humans.
Especially on the Philippine mainland, crocodiles can still hunt mammals for a living and are considered one of the overlords on the grasslands.
Precisely in order to better adapt to the harsh environment, the temperature-changing talent of reptiles has also become a limitation on the development of their spiritual wisdom.
Because in order to adapt to the temperature, most of the energy and evolutionary strengthening direction in the body must be supplied to the entire body tissue, especially the trunk below the head.
To develop spiritual wisdom and brain evolution, at least 40% of the nutritional energy must be supplied to the brain tissue...
But once this happens, reptiles will definitely be weaker in other aspects!
It may even cause a certain degree of damage to the original body tissue structure.
To be honest, every race will make destructive changes and innovations on a mature body that has been proven to use environmental changes.
At that time, the research team of this branch encountered opposition from various reptilian races, including some clan leaders who had evolved to the second stage...
In the end, it was the dinosaur family that emerged as the new overlord in the food chain at that time, and fully supported the research process of spiritual wisdom.
I want to pave the way for the Dragon Clan in advance!
In fact, the reason why this idea was able to receive great support among the dinosaur clan was mainly because the rights and status of the reptile clan were controlled by the original old clan.
For example, the crocodile family occupies all rivers and coastal waters.
Their leader has evolved to the late second stage, reaching an astonishing fifty meters in length, becoming the strongest amphibious being in history.
But can't find the next evolutionary direction.
They can only occupy the apex of the ecological niche and then maintain their own position of power.
For the dinosaur family of the new generation, this is an obstacle to their rise to power.
On the other hand, supporting research on spiritual wisdom is to suppress those of the old school who pretend to be sophisticated and rely on their own experience.
They are unwilling to give up their own interests and hand them over to the new generation of ethnic groups.
Fortunately, the research on spiritual wisdom has been able to continue, and finally after another 50 million years...
In the next era of the Triassic, during the transition from the Jurassic to the Jurassic, the Lizardmen finally developed the awakening technology, which allowed most first- and second-order reptiles to directly awaken their own consciousness and possess self-awareness. At the same time, it can also form the cornerstone of civilization...
And the dinosaur family, which has been the second child for ten thousand years and has been actively supporting the research of spiritual wisdom, has also been struggling for fifty million years...
Finally, 150 million years after the rise of reptiles, the dawn of the race's peak came.
By virtue of the transformation of their mental attributes, most of the first- and second-order dinosaur groups have awakened their own consciousness, and at the same time their intelligence level has increased to the point where they can learn and understand the world independently.
For a time, dinosaurs from different groups in the group decided to unite together to form the first unified large group in the history of Blue Star. It was also the existence that later gave birth to a large number of fourth-order cosmic life forms, the great Dragon Clan.
Since the birth of the Dragon Clan, they have begun to work together to develop their own civilization, enhance the Dragon Clan's understanding of the world, and develop many science and technologies.
Among them, the dragons are represented. Their technology has reached the point of mining and smelting iron, and is about to enter feudal civilization.
At this time, some of the big bosses of the dinosaur clan also obtained ways to advance to the third stage through evolutionary research on the dragon bloodline...
One hundred and fifty million years after the reptiles reached their pinnacle, the Dragon Clan led Blue Star Life to enter the third stage for the first time, and led the Zerg Clan to become the favored son of heaven at that time.
And quickly seized the powerful position of the old school.
Let the Dragon Clan become the leader of the Reptile Clan.
From then on it occupied an absolute position.
The remaining reptiles, including the ancestral lizards at the beginning of evolution, also underwent surgical transformation and gradually developed their own third-order existences.
It’s just that the Dragon Clan has always been dominant.
In the following 50 million years, the dragon civilization went through several changes, but the level of development of the civilization has never fallen behind.
Because of the stable climate development period and the absolute dominance of Blue Star, the Dragon Clan has survived the evolution of civilization safely.
From the initial feudal society to the rise of capital brought about by technological progress, it finally entered a stable Datong society where strength and blood were respected.
As for around five years ago, the Jurassic period entered after the Cretaceous period...
The 200 million-year development history of the Dragon Clan...
In front of me at this moment, the living third-order dragon clan...
The ten-meter-tall Captain Long Yuan said:
"The Cretaceous period was the peak period of the dinosaur family, and it was also a period of rebirth and destruction for reptiles."
"During this period, our dragon clan gave birth to the fourth-order cosmic life, and led the people under our command to break away from the shackles of the blue star and move toward outer space and the solar system."
"Driving giant spaceships and ship-breaking planes, running rampant in space."
"The development of civilization was like a rocket. In just one to twenty million years, seven or eight fourth-order crawling evolutionary beings were born..."
"There was also an ancestor who was about to be promoted to the sixth level. Unfortunately, everything changed later."
As he spoke, Captain Long Yuan let out a long sigh.
Looking at the two humans in front of him, his tone was deep:
"The reason why the Dragon Clan was forced to leave Blue Star, which has been in business for hundreds of millions of years..."
"It is precisely because of the 250 million-year galactic rotation mentioned before..."
