To be honest, Chen Yan didn't understand.
So Chen Yan instinctively thought that Li Fengnian was exaggerating.
However, Li Fengnian looked serious and didn't look like that.
After thinking carefully, Chen Yan said, "Since the situation of amphibious mutants in the ocean landing on land is quite common throughout the world, then the five top forces must be well aware of this, right?
You also said that you noticed this situation before you left the Oasis of Life, and took the initiative to capture amphibious mutant creatures for research, and then came to the corresponding conclusion. What do the top forces think?
If your speculation is correct, the end of the world will come when no one can survive. Are the five major powers willing to just sit there and watch without taking any reasonable countermeasures? "
Li Fengnian snorted coldly and scoffed, "What are reasonable countermeasures? If the five top powers can truly work together, then with the power and technological advantages inherited by the five top powers, they can not only completely end this wasteland, but at least truly begin to rebuild human civilization and allow the existing survivors to live a life at least 70% to 80% of the standard before the catastrophe.
Because if the five top powers join forces, it won't just be the five that will be affected, but a force powerful enough to sweep across all human territory! At that time, no matter how large the human survivor forces are, they will be swept up in this trend. Whether they like it or not, all survivors must obey the common will of the five top powers and truly begin to work hard and strive for the future of all mankind.
But what is the reality? As you can see, the situation is a mess. Even something as well-known as this is impossible, let alone a disaster that is expected to happen in the future. No matter how extraordinary the rate of evolution, it still takes a very long time to achieve the level of ecological transformation that would affect the entire world. The Devonian period took nearly 60 million years to complete this transformation. Even if the rate of evolution were accelerated 10,000 times, it would still take 6,000 years.
Hehe, for the top figures of the five major powers, even though they have a lifespan far beyond the normal range after becoming rulers, isn't it too much to ask them to worry about an extinction-level disaster that might not happen until thousands of years from now? The time is too long, and no one knows what will happen in such a long time. Instead of worrying about the future, it's better to live in the present.
Chen Yan sorted out Li Fengnian's meaning in his mind and said, "You mean that although the current landing of amphibious mutants has greatly squeezed the living space of coastal mutants and zombies, this squeeze is not unlimited.
Because the number of amphibious mutants is not very large at present, the living space they need is limited. Moreover, although amphibious mutants can live on land, they relatively prefer the marine environment. This situation will not change fundamentally in the short term.
But as time goes by, more marine mutant creatures will evolve into amphibious mutant creatures, and at the same time, amphibious mutant creatures will slowly evolve into reptilian mutant creatures. If this evolution continues, mammalian and avian mutant creatures will begin to appear?
Isn't this a repeat of the origin of species? According to your theory, will dinosaurs evolve all over again? Mutated dinosaurs?! What about humans? Will humans evolve all over again?! Mutated humans? New humans? Then what are we?"
Li Fengnian spread his hands and shrugged. "In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before dinosaurs evolve again. Of course, dinosaurs that evolve from mutant life are destined to be more powerful and more dangerous than any dinosaur that has ever appeared. But whether humans will evolve again... that's hard to say."
"What's the meaning?"
“Literally.”
“…”
Seeing Chen Yan's face darken, Li Fengnian continued with a smile: "You should be very clear that the evolution of human beings, compared with the evolution of other species, has many contradictions and things that cannot be explained by science.
Before Lamarck proposed the theory of evolution, humans firmly believed that all species were immutable. In other words, whatever organisms look like now, they have always looked like that, and will naturally look like that in the future.
But Lamarck believed that living things could not appear out of thin air, and must go through a process from nothing to something. So he proposed the ideas of use and disuse and acquired inheritance, which was very controversial, but denied creationism and the theory of species immutability.
After this, Darwin proposed a more scientific and universally acceptable theory of evolution: natural selection, survival of the fittest. Later generations have continuously refined and supplemented this theory until today.
Having said that, Li Fengnian noticed a hint of impatience on Chen Yan's face.
He could only cough dryly and cut to the chase: "In short, no matter how perfected the theory of evolution becomes, it can never fully explain the emergence of the human species. Compared to other species on the planet, humans are unique and possess certain characteristics that are difficult to replicate.
So, can this wave of mutated marine life retracing its evolutionary path actually give rise to humans? I personally think it's unlikely. Humans... don't seem like the kind of primitive life that could emerge simply through species evolution."
Chen Yan pondered and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. It's getting late, Rongrong and I are going to rest."
Li Fengnian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Please go ahead. The moonlight is quite nice tonight. I plan to continue admiring it in this square. I'll also help them check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."
"Hard."
Chen Yan said this simply, then took Qin Yourong's hand and turned to walk towards the castle building.
In the huge castle building, there are hundreds of rooms that can be used for living. Since there are only so many people in the small group, they can naturally choose any room to live in.
"Do you think Li Fengnian is telling the truth?"
Chen Yan chose a nearby room with a bed and a bathroom. He closed the door and went into the shower room to take a shower while asking.
Qin Yourong naturally went into the shower room with Chen Yan.
As the hot water with lower pollution level gushed out from the shower head, Qin Yourong wiped Chen Yan's body and shook her head, saying, "I don't think he's lying."
"It's not a lie...but it's not necessarily true..."
