Chapter 1019: Suffering family
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, near the sea in the Bermuda region, a small fleet of three cruise ships floated on the endless sea.
The displacement of 50,000 tons is already a top-level ship in this era, but compared with the sea, it is just a small boat, struggling in endless waves, and may be overturned by strong winds and huge waves at any time.
On the bridge, Zhou Zhihao and Zu Jie received a call message from Zhong Yang in the command room.
"Ahao, Zujie, I'm fine." The three days at the bottom of the sea were unprecedented experiences, and also allowed Zhong Yang to experience a social system that was completely different from the current mainstream human civilization.
The sound came from the microphone. Because of the isolation of the sea water, the communication of the radio waves was not good, and the voice signal was intermittent. "Ahao, Zujie, no, I really want you to see the world here too."
Zhong Yang is in a good mood now. In three days, he has come into contact with a brand new world, which has also helped him to gain a deeper understanding of knowledge in different fields.
Amples was the elder of the Visit and the spiritual leader of this mermaid tribe branch. The knowledge and information he mastered were by no means comparable to that of a little mermaid like Gabriel.
The mermaids, which are the heirs of civilizations who live in the deep sea and call themselves descendants of Atlantis, Zhong Yang also has a general understanding of their current living conditions.
Take Visit as an example. The population is about 30,000, and there are a total of 100 similar tribes.
Since the 18,000 years since the sinking of Great Western State, these lucky survivors have established new social forms to maintain the survival and reproduction of their own race.
After the catastrophe, the land was no longer suitable for life to live in, so these people had to choose to stay away from the seabed of the surface world and rely on the thick back to use this as a barrier to avoid extinction.
However, the living environment of the deep sea is extremely harsh, and there is even less food, which is not enough to feed too much of the population.
Such a harsh fact directly led to the sharp drop in the mermaid population from the first 12 million to the current three million. Fortunately, this balance can finally be maintained and the population remains stable.
The light cannot travel to the extremely deep seabed ※A thousand meters below, this is a dark world, and it is swallowed by omnipresent obscure and deepness everywhere.
However, there is still light here.
The temple under Visit's leadership, Amples, emits a soft light, faint, but victorious, full of vitality and continuous.
"What is this?" Zhong Yang clearly felt the gem like a night pearl. The energy fluctuations it emitted.
Hidden behind the light, it is this positive energy that maintains the basic survival of the mermaid clan. No matter what advanced life form it is, its essence is to consume energy to maintain the operation of body functions.
"Can you feel it?" Amples' eyes were filled with indifference and wisdom. "That is Magnetic Stone, an energy collection and transformation device. It is also a must to maintain our Atlantis' survival."
Amples is already four hundred and twenty years old. Although there is no decay on the outside, its age has indeed reached the limit of a mermaid.
"Magnetic Ou Stone" Zhong Yang is not unfamiliar with this word. In Edwin Casey's hypnotic memory records, this energy device, a super technology that can replace chemical energy.
The word "magnetic" stone has been passed down from ancient times in Europe to the present, and it is a myth about Atlantis.
Plato once wrote in his book that Posedia, the capital of Atlantis, is powered by magnetic eclipse. It is a hexahedral, a huge cylindrical bowl-like substance that can absorb sunlight and convert cosmic energy into energy.
Magnetic Oushi has certain scientific theoretical basis, but scientists from both China and Western countries have been trying to develop related scientific achievements. Magnetic Oushi technology is a technique that modern humans have not yet fully mastered.
This legend has described the scenes of nuclear war and highly modern transportation tools as early as ancient times. Many people have produced many imaginations about the origin of human beings through this legend that sinks into the Atlantic Ocean. The legend of the Magnetic Eurostone Energy System
As long as he is not those so-called materialist scientists who are both ignorant and arrogant, he believes that ancient scriptures hide unknown history, and facing his own superficiality is the attitude necessary to achieve greatness.
He believed that the Magnetic Stone and Atlantis civilization were not just legends, and even the gods depicted in myths were not necessarily superstitions and imaginations.
Seeing the coveted magnetic stone, Zhong Yang carefully observed the entire temple. This stone temple with the style of ancient Greek times was actually a huge installation.
Unlike humans' ways of using energy, the Atlantis clearly mastered more efficient and reliable technology, which is to abandon complex and fragile electronic components and instead use the mind with great development potential.
In front of the broken statue, an altar was placed, and the magnetic stone in Amples' mouth was slandered on it, with a football-sized volume. However, it was not the hexahedral in the rumor, but the circle.
The light is not the pure white color of Magnetic Stone, which is colorful, but a faint tender green, conveying a strong essence of life.
Amples also noticed the doubt in Zhong Yang's eyes. It laughed at himself: "Although we call it magnetic oval, in fact, this is just a fake that we have prevented and controlled through the magnetic oval fragments we have collected."
"Fake?" Zhong Yang lowered his head and pondered.
"Yes, a fake." Amples did not shy away from this, but directly revealed the truth: "The magnetic oval stone is not a product of our world. It was introduced to Atlantis with a group of alien galaxies over tens of thousands of years, and is one of the three cornerstones of our great civilization."
"In the sun and water, the magnetic stone symbolizes our sun and provides endless energy to our ancestors. It was originally a helping force to move towards a new era, but..."
Speaking of this, Amples' expression began to appear in pain and regret, for the once glorious era in the past.
"Agoing 18,000 years ago, fanatical scientific research finally caused a disaster. The energy system centered on Magneto-Stone exploded, causing the earth's foundation to shake, and the huge continent sank, leaving only people migrating elsewhere, while the Atlantis disappeared."
Looking at Zhong Yang calmly, Amples chuckled softly: "As you can see, calling himself an Atlantis is just the only pride left by our clan. And a little unwilling to accept it."
Zhong Yang looked at the old wise man and deeply felt the pain and helplessness in his heart.
"Indeed, in the past three days, this is the fact that I have seen." In front of a true wise man, comfort with falseness and sympathy is meaningless. Zhong Yang looked straight into his heart and truthfully expressed his views on this matter.
"On the road of self-evolution, there is no doubt that you have at least a higher life form than humans. But unfortunately, you are only on a very low-level civilization form now, so you cannot return to land."
Zhong Yang also felt sorry for this tragic race. In terms of individuals, the mermaids are far better than humans, but what is the use? The confrontation of the overall civilization. They have no advantage at all, and there is no need to expect victory.
So many years have passed. They can only struggle in the deep sea and cannot return to the land they have dreamed of.
Zhong Yang doesn't believe that this is the kindness or traditional habit of the mermaid tribe. The survival and reproduction of the race are more important than anything else, and this is not transferred by will.
They cannot return to land, there is only one possibility, that is, they cannot, not unwilling to do so.
"Three thousand years ago, our clan wanted to return to land countless times, and even launched a war with humans in the new era for this. We also had victories and occupied land strongholds, but in the end, after losing 70% of the population, we had no choice but to return to the deep sea."
This secret is only circulated among elder-level mermaids, not a secret, but a disagreement to let more tribe members feel the pain.
The war between humans and coaxing was already in the mythical era, and Zhong Yang did not intend to pursue it. Besides, he did not die as a Chinese, so he did not need to take over the Athenians and Greeks.
Zhong Yang was not stupid either. After Amples said so much to him, he must have something to ask for. He asked: "Elder Amples, do you want to obtain the right to reside in land?"
Amples did not deny this, and its attitude was quite sincere: "We have some knowledge about the wars in the human world in the past decade and know that the East is rising, so we beg to cooperate with you, which is also for our tribe to gain more space for survival."
Zhong Yang knew this was the truth. After living under the sea for three days, he deeply understood the harshness of the living environment of the mermaids.
At the bottom of the sea, food cannot be heated and cooked by raising fire, so they can only eat fish, shrimp and seaweed raw. Even with strong physiological functions and efficient metabolism, eating raw and cold food is always a huge burden on the digestive organs.
Diseases and bacteria are not always resistant. No matter how strong the physical constitution is, problems will inevitably arise over the years. As a result, there are countless mermaids who have lost their lives and reduced their lives.
Otherwise, Huang Yu and Chu Xiaorui and others caught Gabriel, who had a very high wisdom, just with a little food. That was because of their greedy instinct for high-quality food, which made mermaids like Gabriel unable to control themselves.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter." Although Zhong Yang sympathized with them, it was not an easy task to accept a race from a mythological era to live in China.
The difference in bloodline and culture alone brings so many social problems. I don’t know how many accidents will happen if I accept a group of “monsters”.
"How is that possible?" Amples thought Zhong Yang was deliberately ruling, "You are a noble demigod. With your power, you must be in a high position in the human world. It is impossible for you to not even have this little power. If you think our conditions are not enough, we can..."
"It's not a problem in this regard." Zhong Yangping raised his right arm and interrupted Amples' words. He smiled bitterly: "The times have changed, and even demigods may not be able to confront the entire secular world. Nowadays, human social constitution must consider the feelings and interests of ordinary people."
After hearing Zhong Yang's explanation, Amples was also silent.
With Zhong Yang's level of power, there is no need to deceive it at all. Moreover, through observation of the human world, we also know that what Zhong Yang is talking about is the fact. Before that, it was just a lucky mentality and chasing the little bit of disappearance.
"But it's not without corruption..."
Amples, who was originally in despair, couldn't help but be moved after hearing this sentence, and even bowed deeply, "Please give God a mercy on my clan."
"As far as I know, the seabed of the Atlantic Ocean is buried with many wealth that came first in Atlantic civilization, and one of the city should still be in operation. You can consider recycling these wealth."
Before Zhong Yang came here, he received a report from the investigation team and found an unstable time and space fluctuation. When he came to Visit, he was due to an unexpected encounter with Gabriel.
As for the sub-space, that is Zhong Yang's nest. He can let a few people in, but it is impossible to let three million of these "Atlantis" in the past. There is no need to pay attention to doing good deeds, so it's better to be careful.
"Oh. I know that place too." Amples sighed, "Bermuda, it is the core area of the Big Bang. Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, the energy turbulence there will not be much weakening. Not to mention recycling, even if it enters there, it will be a fatal injury to our tribe."
The magnetic oval itself contains huge energy, a group of crazy scientists. A dangerous scientific experiment detonated a small sun. The violent energy overflowed, tearing the sky and the earth and the space.
Based on the three most amazing magnetic omnistones, the origin of the explosion is surrounded by a triangle.
Bermuda has become an incurable scar on the earth, and even time and space will be twisted and broken here.
"Maybe in the eyes of you humans, we are already monsters." Amples said, and with its sharp and tiny fangs and raised bone crowns, he finally felt very convincing.
However, Amples's next words finally made him understand what a real monster is.
"We evolved all necessary organs just to adapt to the environment, but some of our tribesmen have become real monsters - fishmen."
"The fallen man who abandoned Atlantis's last dignity and killed for survival, the fishman." Amples told mankind this secret for the first time.
The fishman is different from the mermaid. Compared with the mermaid who is just like a fish, the fishman has abandoned his wisdom and human nature and evolved into a monster that relies on barbarism and power.
Mermaids are fish-like people, and fish-like people are fish-like people-like people.
The taller and stronger bodies, like armor-like scales, abandoned their feet and evolved the tail fins of fish in order to increase their speed in the water.
No longer prey on small underwater creatures like mermaids. In order to absorb more heat, fishmen evolved huge mouths and sharp fangs, enough to make them tear down large prey.
"Affected by the energy turbulence in Bermuda, a few mermaids with high spiritual sensitivity will mutate into violent sluts, while the rest will die in brain. At this point, the human beings with slow spiritual sense are not affected very much, and other non-intellectual lives are basically unaffected."
Amples has seen many similar tragedies with his own eyes. For the survival and reproduction of the race, many tribesmen who are not afraid of death and pain go there to find elimination.
But every time, all I get is more sadness and despair.
Bermuda has become a forbidden area for the mermaid tribe. These mermaid species that call themselves Atlantis cannot even enter the pride and glory of ancestors. How sad it is.
I was planning to borrow a few people as a guide, but after listening to Amples' words, Zhong Yang had to give up this idea.
"Perhaps, only by entering there can we find some ways to help you get rid of the current difficulties." In desperation, Zhong Yang could only say this. He is not a bad person, and he will not promise anything to others casually.
"Thank you, the noble demigod, no matter what the result is, you will be able to obtain eternal friendship of our tribe." Amples respectfully half-kneeled on the stone slab in the temple. This was the etiquette performed by mortals in ancient times to demigods.
For Amples, for the Visit, and for the entire existing Atlantis civilized race, making friends with a demigod is a very necessary thing.
From Zhong Yang's standpoint, these mermaid species have always been closely related to Atlantis. God knows whether their distant relatives in the Orion galaxy will come to visit their relatives on Earth.
In this world, there is always one friend and one more way. People who fight and kill every day will not live long.
After leaving the temple and saying a simple farewell to Gabriel and Galanard, Zhong Yang planned to set off and return to the sea, where the fleet and all subordinates involved in this combat were waiting for him.
It took only ten minutes to return to the sea from the bottom of the sea. In the past few days, Zhou Zhihao and the others have been tracking Zhong Yang's location and are waiting directly above for his return.
"President." Zu Jie, who had just boarded the ship from the water inlet under the hull, was coming towards him. Of course, Zhou Zhihao and several other captains were there next to him.
"I felt so uncomfortable wearing this pair of armor that I held it in for three days." Zhong Yang took off his helmet and finally breathed fresh air from the surface world.
To this day, he no longer needs oxygen as an intermediary for energy transportation, but in his decades of human life, he is still accustomed to the sense of fulfillment brought by breathing.
