Chapter 789: Square Machine
When things went out, Mu Zhi sighed and remembered him. The same expression as him was the patriarch Takuyama.
Mu Xi led Chen Mo to a big shelf and lifted the animal skin wrapped there. A laser emitter and gun came into Chen Mo's eyes, which was of metal structure.
"Sir, you should know what this is, right? This is the machinery left by our ancestors of the Manshan tribe. There were many of them before, but they were gradually lost. The machinery on you is the machinery I have seen for the first time except these. It is somewhat similar to the ones recorded and described by our ancestors."
Chen Mo asked the armor to scan and restore the structure of the "weapons" left by the Manshan tribe. From a design perspective, it is different from the guns on the earth, but the functions are similar, just guns, but there is no ammunition, and small lasers have no energy.
The level of this weapon is comparable to the craftsmanship level of the earth's civilization.
Seeing Chen Mo studying the machinery carefully, Mu Shi took off the translator and signaled him to introduce it.
"This is actually related to the history of our ancestors and the history of our Manshan tribe. According to records, our ancestors originally lived in a peaceful planet. Later, when disasters occurred on that planet, they were no longer suitable for living, so their ancestors began to plan migration. There were many migratory teams, and our ancestors were one of them. After more than five hundred years of flight, they finally arrived on this planet."
Takuyama sighed and continued to speak.
"The ancestors recorded that seven hundred years ago, during the migration, they encountered an accident in the sky. They called the 'space vortex'. After our migrating team fell into the space vortex, they arrived here. Two million migrating teams, after 500 years and various disasters, only 50,000 people were left here."
Takuyama's voice was a little low, as if he was opening an ancient history book.
Jing Ge and Tuoli were attracted by him, and Chen Mo also listened carefully. He needed to find clues about this place from these history.
"But the disaster was not over. The remaining 50,000 people were lucky enough to discover a planet. But when they arrived at this planet, they discovered that the environment here was different from the planets where their ancestors lived.
All scholars and intellectuals with weak constitutions died, and only thousands of soldiers who had been strictly trained survived. That was the unfortunate beginning. The soldiers were not proficient in technology and knowledge, and there was a gap in the inheritance of cultural knowledge. At first, they wanted to rely on the spacecraft's machines to maintain the inheritance of knowledge. Later, the spacecraft failed because of high technical requirements and did not know how to repair them, and they were completely scrapped."
Chen Mo could imagine that situation.
A person from a planet with little gravity suddenly landed on a planet with five times the gravity, and his physical condition could not bear it.
When there are not many people, the cultural knowledge is broken, which is very scary.
This means that their civilization is interrupting and deteriorating.
"The ancestors realized that the crisis was coming and did not have the support of technology. On this planet with a harsh living environment, their physical constitution would sooner or later become extinct. The urgency of extinction forced the ancestors to use the remaining technology in their hands to solve this problem.
But the more serious thing is that the surviving ancestors, women who are pregnant, cannot bear the environment here and may endanger their lives. Even the offspring born are dead babies. It is impossible to continue the race."
"How did you solve this problem later?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"On this planet, our ancestors found some indigenous people. Indigenous people had low intelligence, but their bodies and characteristics were similar, and they were the same species. In the end, the ancestors compromised and combined with the indigenous women, so we, the Manshan tribe, inherited the intelligence of our ancestors and the physical constitution of the indigenous ancestors. They had normal intelligence, and their physical constitution could resist the living environment here.
The continued crisis was resolved, and the population began to increase, but the knowledge fault became more and more serious. The technical fault, as energy was exhausted, some machinery began to be scrapped. Although the ancestors recorded all the knowledge they knew before their death, they could not change the situation of increasingly serious loss of knowledge, and the loss of machinery also intensified.
Until now, after many disasters and migrations, only the knowledge retained by these ancestors recorded in fur and wooden books. Fortunately, the inheritance of the text has not been broken. We can only learn from these retained knowledge to understand the world, but the effect is limited. We all know a lot of profound knowledge and text, but we cannot understand and interpret it."
Takushan sighed and was filled with heavy worries.
Jing Ge and Tuoli stopped talking. Although Tuoli was young, he understood his grandfather's words.
"Those who have been screened through this natural environment are all powerful soldiers. Their ability to learn knowledge is not that strong, and the more profound knowledge is spread, the less and less. The civilizational hardship condensed by our ancestors is being lost, so the current situation is now in a stalemate. What can only be preserved are some basic truths and the truth of heaven and earth, at least leaving some hope for future generations to rekindle civilization. If one day, these words and knowledge are lost, the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom will completely disappear."
Chen Mo knew that the fault of civilization is very uncomfortable. The efforts and knowledge of countless ancestors finally disappeared because of the fault of civilization. Just like the Mayan civilization and other ancient civilizations on the earth, they encountered faults and eventually disappeared.
No wonder there are traces of mechanical civilization. The Manshan tribe is still using primitive cold weapons.
After hundreds of years of interstellar migration, all the personnel of advanced technology and energy technology will die and the machines will be broken and scrapped. With only a few thousand remaining people, they can gain a foothold and reproduce in such extreme environments, and continue to grow, and retain the most basic knowledge and written inheritance of civilization. This is already admirable.
"Have your ancestors said that where is this?" Chen Mo asked.
Chen Mo was a little confused now, just a lost traveler, he needed to determine where this place was. Tuoshan talked about the history of the Manshan tribe, but it was not helpful for Chen Mo to understand the location of this space.
"No." Takuyama shook his head.
"However, there is a very important thing that has been passed down." Mu Xi learned about Chen Mo's problem and remembered an important item. He hurried to a wooden cabinet and carefully took out a large box wrapped in layers of fur.
Take the translator from Takuyama and put it on, Mu Shi began to introduce it carefully.
"This is something that our ancestors told us to pass on. It is said that it records the information of our ancestors' civilization and there are also many important information that can be used when the civilization is revived in the future."
Mu Xi carefully opened the box.
The box was opened, and a square machine appeared in Chen Mo's field of vision, looking like a machine cube.
The square machine is well protected and has no trace of damage. It is like a storage computer host, all metal is all over, and the lenses similar to projection. The process technology is very high, with the technical level of Chen Mo when he left the earth.
Chen Mo looked carefully and guessed that it might be something like a microcomputer. If so, Chen Mo would have the opportunity to find some clues about this space from here.
I originally thought this was a primitive planet, but I didn’t expect an unexpected gain.
"Can you give me a try?" Chen Mo asked, pointing to the square machine.
Takuyama and Kisu discussed for a while, and finally nodded together as if they made up their minds.
Their tribe has waited for too long, and this thing has never been opened since the energy technology fault. Now that they meet Chen Mo, an alien, and it feels like Chen Mo is not malicious. This is an opportunity for them to restore the inheritance of civilization.
