After the other party finished speaking, there was no sound.
The virtual world in front of Chen Feng changed again, turning into an environment that was familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
In the deep and dark universe, a blue planet was slowly orbiting the sun in space.
This was the earth.
The view quickly zoomed in.
After a blink of an eye, the scene in front of Chen Feng turned into a primeval forest.
In the forest, a group of ancient apes were building wooden houses around a giant tree.
This was a large tribe, with at least three hundred individuals.
The tribe seemed to have just migrated here from a distant place and needed to build a new home as soon as possible.
The scene looked busy and bustling.
Some apes were dragging wood back from far away, and some were sitting cross-legged on the ground, grinding the sticks in their hands, trying to make them sharp.
Some female apes were feeding their children nakedly.
In addition to these young people and children, in the center of the forest plain occupied by the tribe, there was a group of elderly people who were obviously out of tune with other apes.
They gathered together, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking down to calculate, and sometimes trying to communicate with each other with different pronunciations.
Compared with the busy young people, the elderly seemed too leisurely and lazy.
This is simply too much.
But in fact, what really distinguishes humans from other animals is not walking upright or learning to use tools.
Monkeys can also use stones to crack walnuts and use sticks to pry stones.
But why did monkeys always remain monkeys, while ancient apes eventually became humans? The fundamental reason is that in the process of progress, humans gradually realized the value of knowledge and began to value the life experience of the elderly, no longer simply judging the value of each individual to the group based on whether they were physically strong. In
ancient times when the external environment was harsh, being able to live longer than other ancient apes was not just a matter of good luck.
Elderly people usually excel when they are young, not only have physical advantages, but also have brains and reactions that are far ahead of their peers.
For example, a group of ancient apes are being chased by a tiger.
Those who run faster survive.
Those who reacted in time, knew to avoid the tiger's pursuit route, and changed direction to climb a tree that the tiger could not climb, also survived.
Those who fell in the process of escaping, ran to the end and were caught up, were eliminated when they were young or infants.
In the ancient ape era when the average life expectancy was only ten years old, every ancient ape who could live to twenty years old had its own unique characteristics.
It takes time for civilization to enrich knowledge.
The knowledge of a group does not come out of thin air. Most of the knowledge that is enriched comes from the elderly.
In the period when food is sufficient, the life of the elderly is a precious wealth.
The group of seniors that Chen Feng saw now represented the language, writing, philosophy of survival, and other important information related to the progress of civilization of this ethnic group, which was being enriched at a very fast speed.
Suddenly, one of the old men, whose beards were all dry and thin, stood up abruptly.
He looked up at the sky, his brows were wrinkled, and his hair stood up.
The sky was blue with white clouds and the sun was high. It didn't look unusual.
The tall ancient ape in front, who was responsible for carrying wood and directing other ancient apes to build a shed, walked over quickly and chattered for a while in a slightly nervous and respectful tone.
The old man ignored him and continued to observe the sky.
After a long time, the old man finally responded and also chattered.
The tall ape suddenly showed a terrified expression on his face, and then he ran and shouted in the tribe's settlement.
Many apes stopped building sheds and gathered together.
The tall ape asked the old ape to stand on a rugged high stone.
The old ape spoke something very quickly to other members of the tribe.
Some apes understood, while others did not quite understand what they meant until the people next to them danced and gestured with them for a long time, and finally understood.
After that, the group of apes immediately got busy, each packing up the tools they carried and the food they had stored and heading straight for the distant mountains.
As for the half-built sheds and settlements, they gave up without hesitation.
About three hours later, the Ape tribe arrived at the mountainside.
This mountain is the highest peak within a hundred miles, and because of the rain and wind all year round, most of the mountain is made of rocks.
There is a huge natural cave on the mountainside.
But there is a den of bears living in the cave.
The Ape tribe knew about the existence of the cave and the bears a long time ago, but they have always avoided each other.
But this time, the young and strong men in the Ape tribe picked up stones and sharpened sticks and launched a fearless attack on the bears.
There is a male and a female bear in the den, both of which are very large. The male bear is nearly three meters and a half tall when standing upright, and the female bear is more than two meters tall. There are
also three little bears that are as tall as adult apes when standing upright.
The opponent is not a soft persimmon, and this war is obviously impossible to end quickly.
After the fight between the two sides lasted for ten minutes, the sky suddenly changed drastically, with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.
At first, bean-sized raindrops fell one by one, but after just a few minutes, the raindrops became extremely dense, hitting the soil and rocks with a patter, as if a tap was pouring water.
In the heavy rain, the warriors of the ancient ape tribe continued to charge forward.
Nearly a hundred meters away from the battlefield, at the bottom of the mountainside, the old, weak, women and children stood in the heavy rain and looked at the battlefield from afar, all with anxious expressions. Some underage children even jumped up and tried to help, but were caught by adults.
The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly an hour.
After losing a total of nearly thirty young men, the ancient ape tribe finally killed the male and female bears.
The two adult giant bears crawled on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds, especially their facial features were unrecognizable.
One of the three little bears also lost its breath, and the other two little bears seemed to have a short breath, but several sharp wooden spears were pierced into their mouths, and it seemed that they would not live long.
There were even more young and strong apes lying on the mountainside, each with a broken limb and a miserable appearance.
Under the wash of rain, the bright red blood flowed down the mountain, turning into a stream of red blood. It was unclear whether it was the blood of the apes or the bears.
The old, weak, women, children, and the young and strong men who could still move began to step on the blood and head towards the cave.
Along the way, the apes wiped their tears and kept picking up the broken wooden spears and stone knives that had fallen on the ground.
Some people also tried to drag the bodies of their dead companions into the cave with great effort, but were stopped by other apes with slaps.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The human eye's visibility was less than two meters, and the ears could not hear any sound. It seemed that there was only the sound of heavy rain between heaven and earth.
Chen Feng watched this scene quietly the whole time, not knowing what to say.
He had imagined countless times how human ancestors struggled to survive in nature, and had also watched countless film and television works describing these.
But there is no doubt that the picture shown to him by the Fish Star was not a hypothesis, but made Chen Feng's consciousness really go back millions of years, and witnessed with his own eyes this seemingly small but actually thrilling history in the long history of mankind.
Chen Feng not only witnessed it with his own eyes, but also personally participated in countless cosmic wars.
But inexplicably, he felt a strong sense of tragedy from this primitive, ancient, simple fight with wooden spears, stones and claws.
The Fish Star people have truly participated in the development of human civilization, and they would not do it without purpose.
Therefore, this group of ancient apes is undoubtedly the true ancestor of human beings.
There are many tribes of ancient apes, but only this group has finally evolved into humans.
The other ancient ape tribes either took the wrong path on the road of evolution, or unfortunately perished in a disaster.
Drought, flood, geologic changes, hungry wolves...
Every disaster may destroy the buds of human civilization.
Chen Feng can roughly guess what will happen next.
This rainstorm will last for a long time.
The earth will turn into a swamp.
The soil topography and vegetation conditions will be changed drastically.
The diversity of life on Earth will also change dramatically.
But this group of ancient apes who responded in time and successfully climbed to a high place finally persevered, and after millions of years of development, he, Chen Feng, and the Orion-armed humans finally appeared.
Chen Feng couldn't help but think to himself, maybe when humans tens of millions of years later look back on the war between the Morning Wind Empire and the Compound Eyes on Earth and the Milky Way, will today's humans also be these ancient apes wielding wooden spears in the minds of future generations, and will the Compound Eyes also be just "fragile" giant bears.
Will future generations also have the same sense of sadness when they see their ancestors millions of years ago resolutely charging with spears in the face of disaster?
How will future generations imagine it?
Chen Feng was thinking again, how lucky the human race is.
What if the old man's reaction was a little slow.
What if the tall ancient ape who was obviously the leader did not believe the old man's judgment.
What if those warriors who were ready to die were a little fragile and retreated, and finally they exhausted all their fighting power but failed to kill the giant bear.
If any of the above situations happened, then there would be no ifs for the human race.
Chen Feng watched all the ancient apes staggering into the cave.
He took a deep breath and bent slightly.
In any case, as a warrior of the Galactic Age, he wanted to express his sincere respect to these warriors who saved the fate of human civilization in ancient times.
Maybe they can't even speak, don't understand any language, and don't even know what the so-called respect means.
Perhaps they only knew that when the tribe needed them, they would stand up wielding fragile wooden spears, even if they were faced with a giant bear that could beat them into pulp with one slap.
They could never imagine that future generations would be able to wear armor and destroy the world.
They looked so fragile, but the great courage they showed when charging turned the tide.
Then, several ancient apes crawled out again, tied up the bodies of five giant bears with vines, and slowly dragged them into the cave.
The rainstorm kept falling.
No one knew what was wrong with nature.
The rainstorm lasted for a whole month.
During this month, the outside world was flooded and changed dramatically.
On the seventh day, the elderly man who first pointed out the impending disaster walked out of the cave in a temperature of 41 degrees Celsius and into the heavy rain.
He had been running a fever for seven days and knew he was dying.
Two hours later, he swam back out of the cave, dragging the floating bodies of two rabbits.
This place used to be plains and mountains, but now it has become an isolated island in the ocean.
The earthen hills in the distance have collapsed, and within a few dozen miles, only this rocky mountain is still standing.
The old man put the rabbit at the entrance of the cave and walked away.
After walking a few dozen meters down the mountain, he fell on his back.
He fell in the rain and never got up again. He was eventually swallowed up by the rising water level and swept away.
In this month, the ancient apes in the cave ate all the stored food, the bears, and everything edible they could find on the mountain.
More and more young and old people walked out of the cave.
Some ancient apes came back, either empty-handed or with something, even a tree root.
Some ancient apes did not come back and fell somewhere unknown.
The original nearly 300 ancient apes were reduced to more than 130 in this month, and more than 80 of them were not yet adults.
Chen Feng looked at the sky anxiously.
He didn't know when the rain would stop.
If this continued, the ancestors of mankind would disappear in the long river of history.
