The old man didn't expect to hear new perspectives from Lin Yuan.

He became interested and said kindly.

"Young man, tell me what you think! As an old man, I like to hear insightful opinions. Speak boldly."

Ning Xuejun was jumping up and down as she listened.

My grandfather always seems to say the same thing before changing his face.

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said.

"In fact, this answer is because both were eliminated in the process of evolution, so they are both weak. Otherwise, neither Megalodon nor Leviathan Whale would be seen now. Even if the sharks in the ocean have reverted to their ancestral mutations and some have mutated towards Megalodon, they are no longer Megalodon or Leviathan Whale after all."

This view silenced the old man.

All I've heard so far is that the Megalodon is stronger or the Leviathan whale is stronger.

Or the two sides are evenly matched, but without exception, everyone says one is stronger. This is the first time I heard someone say one is weaker.

However, this weakness is understandable from the perspective of natural selection.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan’s point of view was too novel. Even when the old man heard that the Megalodon was said to be weak, he did not explode immediately, but asked back.

"Why?"

"Megalodon and Leviathan whales ruled the oceans of the Tertiary Period for tens of millions of years. However, both Leviathan whales and Megalodon sharks were too high in their peaks, which led to the slow evolution of marine animals in the Tertiary Period. Therefore, natural selection used a meteorite 65 million years ago to convince both sides to stop the war with irrefutable truth. This collision ushered in a new era of the ocean in the Quaternary Period, and also wiped out Megalodon sharks and Leviathan whales. Therefore, from the perspective of the creator, Megalodon sharks and Leviathan whales are both weak in terms of species survival and evolution."

Lin Yuan expressed his thoughts.

This idea is not just based on smart learning.

It is more about Lin Yuan’s accumulation of knowledge in his previous life and his insights after promoting the evolution of spiritual creatures in this life.

In the long river of time, everything is nothing but smoke and dust.

The evolutionary path of a successful person is never to stand directly at the top and look down on the masses.

Truly successful species evolution is about knowing how to evolve over tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to be able to overcome the next disaster.

Only by allowing your species to continue can you become the eternal winner on the road of evolution.

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, the old man was silent for a while, as if he was savoring what Lin Yuan said.

The way Ning Xuejun looked at Lin Yuan this time was no longer the same as before when she regarded Lin Yuan as a troublemaker.

Because such words are not something an uneducated person can easily say.

Lin Yuan just stood there quietly, neither arrogant nor impatient.

At this moment, the old man suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said something.

"good!"

The old man's voice was very loud and immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

But the old man didn't care at all and looked at Lin Yuan and said.

"Young man, what you said is really interesting! But why did the meteorite you mentioned 65 million years ago directly wipe out the Megalodon and the Leviathan whale? But the shark and whale populations are still passed down to this day?"

When the old man asked this question, his eyes were no longer thoughtful, and it was obvious that he knew the answer.

The reason I asked this question now was purely to test Lin Yuan.

Let’s see whether Lin Yuan’s previous answer was inspired by his feelings or he truly understood the key point.

"The higher up the food chain, the weaker it is. The meteorite 65 million years ago first destroyed the algae in the ocean. The algae were followed by the shrimps, which are the food source for various baleen whales and large filter-feeding fish. Baleen whales and large filter-feeding fish are also the common food for megalodon and leviathan whales. While megalodon and leviathan whales are at the top of the food chain pyramid, they are also the weakest link in their ecological niche. This is the reason for their demise."

The old man listened to Lin Yuan clearly speaking out the answer to what he was thinking, and he looked at Lin Yuan and felt that he liked him more and more.

People who study often value talented people.

Especially seeing such a young boy, there is a sense of inheritance, which makes the old man very happy.

He turned around and said to Ning Xuejun who was standing beside him.

"Girl, those who are going to take the exam will come out one after another soon. If you can't leave, I will take this boy to take the three knowledge-based spiritual profession exams to see what level the young people today are at!"

Ning Xuejun put the form filled out by Lin Yuan in her grandfather's hand, and then secretly gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up.

Lin Yuan returned the gift to express his gratitude and followed the old man into a classroom.

The old man turned his head and said to Lin Yuan.

"I will be the invigilator for the exam later. Actually, being an invigilator is very interesting. You can tell three qualities of a person by watching how he answers the questions."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The old man didn't care whether Lin Yuan answered or not, and continued talking to himself.

Maybe he was happy, he seemed to have opened his mouth and didn't stop talking along the way.

"You can tell a person's state of mind by looking at the way he answers a question, you can tell his attitude towards learning by looking at the answers on his test paper, and you can tell a person's psychological quality by looking at the steps he takes when answering a question. It's been almost ten years since I last invigilated an exam!"

As he spoke, some memories appeared in the old man's eyes.

Lin Yuan listened quietly.

I just feel that even the vice-president of the Bauhinia City Architects' Union, a person whom the city lord has to show courtesy to, is sometimes just an old man who is a little paranoid about studying.

During the exam, the old man was straightforward and handed the three test papers for the three subjects to Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan entered the exam, he was extremely focused, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

When Lin Yuan just started answering the questions, the old man didn't notice anything.

But after a while, the old man felt that watching Lin Yuan answering the questions was actually a pleasant experience.

The rustling sound of the pen tip hitting the paper is of consistent frequency, neither fast nor slow, but steady and measured.

Lin Yuan, without changing his expression, answered the questions on the test paper page by page in order.

The old man admired Lin Yuan's calm demeanor and couldn't help but look forward to Lin Yuan's results, which was also the answer.

While answering the questions, Lin Yuan finally understood why Ning Xuejun had said before that the questions asked by the Architects’ Union would be very tricky.

Because 10% of the questions on this test paper came from the notes page in the book.

There are even some questions whose answers can only be found in the preface of the book.

Such question setters really set questions with the intention of making things difficult for others.

But for Lin Yuan, it still means that if you don’t know how to do it, it’s not difficult; if you know how to do it, it’s not difficult.

Because of this, Lin Yuan's answers were as smooth as flowing water.

I finished answering the papers of three exams in just two hours for one exam.
