Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Speaking of this kind of no encounter with war, no other natural disasters and man-made disasters, obviously looking at the world's Taiping Guotai Min'an but inexplicably a civilization that disappeared at night, I always feel a little sight ... It seems that on the Earth has similar ancient city-states?

The ruins of the entire city-state are intact, and the surroundings geological record ca n’t find any traces of earthquakes or floods, but even people are gone, and history is suddenly broken. This kind of thing that makes the spine cold seems to be somewhere. Heard. But what happened on this planet is obviously larger and the consequences are more serious: what disappeared is not one or two city-states, but all the science and technology cities of the entire planet. It is not a primitive civilization that encounters the era, but a group of already able Open spaceship to the tall High-Tech Alien person outside the solar system!

What happened in those days caused these people to withdraw from the city and return to the primitive society willingly, and slowly gave birth to twisted gadgets like "Lost Gods"?

It was also suddenly discovered that the situation may be weirder than imagined. Shandora and I decided to grasp as much information as possible from other channels before directly contacting the Pope of the Lost God. "Leaving problems" experience for us: Many things that have been polished over the years will be wrapped in layers of mist. Even if you feel that you have to see through your eyes, you ca n’t easily believe what your brain makes up. The truth often turns around, and the more conclusions you make up in advance, the easier it is to end up with bad food.

The reality is a third-rate novel. It never plays cards according to common sense. sometimes is even more powerful than Qianqian's.

"If the ancient civilization was not destroyed by violence, but the ancients voluntarily gave up ... there must have been something more terrible than natural disasters and man-made disasters, making people at the time think that only by giving up technology can protect themselves," I slowly My own guess, "Of course there is another reason, that is, the ancient people were brainwashed by some powerful gadgets. They deliberately decided to organize a group to go to the wilderness to carry out tens of thousands of years of picnic activities to brainwash them. It might be Cthulhu, or it might be a spark of soul passing by ... "

The Shandora ball gave me a crunchy head at the time: crisp!

"You might as well want something reliable with this energy," the Shandora ball is a little annoyed. "I would like to believe that people at that time were facing a threat greater than war, and this threat is closely related to their technical level."

The female leader looked at me and Shandora diligently while carrying out post-disaster reconstruction of her three views: "Will there be the so-called technical curse as the crazy sects have guessed? When the technology of this World has developed to a certain extent To a degree, there will be a group of outer space Demon to destroy everything and let civilization reshuffle and start again? "

"Technology curse? outer space Demon?" The female leader just casually said, but I suddenly glared, "Specifically what is going on."

"It's just that some crazy little sects are crazy, and they don't even have complete doctrines and historical heritage. The whimsical pagans get together to scare themselves," the female leader seems to be very disdainful. "Some people guess that in the mortal and **** World There is also the so-called outer space Demon, these Demon feed on "knowledge", the gods created mortals, but Demon created knowledge, Demon teaches knowledge to mortals, let civilization develop and flourish, in fact, the earth is used as its own nursery. When a mortal has reached a certain height, it is the moment of 'knowledge' maturity. outer space Demon will run out of the gap between space and pick the fruit. They will squeeze out the soul of the mortal, destroy the entire World, and then plant new 'knowledge' in the surviving Human Race The next time waiting for matures-they believe that this cycle caused the destruction of ancient civilizations, and they feel that as long as the mortal World is permanently obscured, it will last for a long time, because this will cause the mortal to be more "bad", and Demon will not come ... … "

At the end, the female leader couldn't help but show a funny look: "It's a real cry? This small sect has appeared several times. There are always people who like to scare themselves to make up these stories. These little The group ’s attitude towards the technical blockade is more positive than that of the lost gods, but because they are too deviant, this group of people will be wiped out by everyone when they appear, so it has not become a climate so far. "

"Actually, their idea of ​​'outer space Demon' is quite creative," I chuckled, "Although it's not reliable, but maybe it can explain a little bit why civilization is still a generation without natural disasters."

The female leader suddenly chuckled and said: "Oh, how is it possible, abstract things like" knowledge "... How can there be Monster that feeds on memory and spirit on World?"

I could n’t help but squint at the Shandora ball, and then pouted at the female leader: “Pay attention, you are dead for the second time today.”

Female leader: "?"

"Uh huh!" The Shandora ball snorted hard to interrupt this non-nutritive topic. "In short, these things that can't be confirmed or falsified are put aside first. Why do you think the knowledge of the Lost Gods is sealed?" /

The female leader thought about it seriously: "... I dare not say anything else, but one thing is for sure: if mortals master higher technology, I am afraid that it will really invite disasters, not that" knowledge "itself attracts disasters , But ... some kind of behavior after mastering knowledge will invite disaster. "

The other party really has unique insights in this regard!

The Shandora ball shook encouragingly in front of the female leader: "Continue to say that your opinion is very helpful."

"This was originally a very immature idea, I have never talked to anyone else," the female leader took a breath, and then slowly exhaled, "but you just mentioned that ancient civilizations did not suffer disaster, Instead, suddenly giving up his city under all normal circumstances, my idea is more persuasive: ancient civilizations have developed to such a high degree that they have not suffered from disasters, which shows that the disasters are not attracted by technology and knowledge themselves. It is very likely that Human Race's certain actions that "may take" after they have mastered this knowledge will provoke disasters. Ancient civilizations must have foreseen such actions, but they cannot guarantee that all Human Race will always stay alert, in order to prevent someone ... Prevent someone ... "

I see that the other party could n’t sum up the words for a long time, so I was reminded next: "To prevent someone from dying, it is to find an upgraded version of death."

"Death? Oh, the word seems to be very useful, just to prevent someone from committing death," the female leader nodded, "Human Race will have many unpredictable behaviors after mastering enough high technology and knowledge, one of them This kind of behavior may kill everyone. The ancients must have noticed this, but mortals are too complicated, too many changes, and there will always be bold people, so in order to fundamentally eliminate this crisis ... The ancients decided Simply abolish all science and technology. That kind of "dangerous behavior" must not be done by an individual, it may require a certain science and technology foundation, so as long as the entire civilization is stopped, even if a few people want to "make death", they will not It may be possible to complete the relevant research. This is my guess-I have never told anyone before that I am afraid that I will be treated as a lunatic. After all this guess is established ... there will be nothing like the **** of science and technology and the **** of Magic. "

I looked at the big sister in surprise: "This sister, you have a lot of ideas, learn from me ... cough cough, do n’t mind I mean you have a new idea, but you do n’t have any clear evidence. ? "

"No, only guessing," the female leader shook her head. "The most reliable evidence is what you just told me: ancient civilizations were not destroyed by disasters. It is because of this that I became more convinced of" knowledge "and" technology ". Neither is a direct inducement of disasters, direct inducement should be some kind of mortal 'possibility'. "

I look at the Shandora ball: "What will lead to the end of World after Human Race masters enough technology?"

"Death means? That's too much," the Shandora ball's voice was a bit joking, "I have seen as many as five or six figures in the death civilization in my life, and it explodes down to the planet, and up to the empire. Declaring war is almost everything. The mortal want to die, God ca n’t stop it, earthling has been among the ranks of reserve players since he knew E = MC2, you can know how high the level of mortal death is. And to be honest ... Did n’t Xiling Apostle to become god nearly die before? The result was only one breath. "

I twitched the corner of my mouth: "But I haven't seen you kill all the scientists in order to prevent the death of the clan, so the ancient people on this planet must have been aware of the more dangerous means of death, so dangerous that they would die. Level, and once the technology is mature, it may be easy to the extent that everyone in Human Race may try at any time-they have to decide to kill their own civilization. "

"For example ... external communications? High-powered broadcasting?" Shandora suddenly remembered something, "A'Jun, do you remember that metal card?" Silent, silence, don't make a sound! ", the metal card repeatedly emphasized this , Is anyone monitoring this Universe's communication? "

"Communication!" I almost jumped up suddenly because a key point seemed to be broken, "This Universe is 'wrapped' by the interference layer, it can't communicate externally! Think about it from another angle, this interference I am afraid that the role of the layer is also to prevent people inside from communicating with others! "

The female leader looked excited and excited, and her face could not help showing a curious look: "What are you ... talking about?"

"Study the end of World," I said casually, and when I saw the other person ’s face suddenly green, I realized that this was not a joke topic for her. "Ah, do n’t mind, I said to play. In short, we probably guessed what happened to the technical blockade, but the real situation had to be confronted with the Pope of the Lost God to know it, and also had to go to a place ... Well, ask you, you know the loss How old is the pope this year? "

From World peace to the age of the pope, it may be that this problem is so jumpy that the female leader has not been stunned for a long time. She looked at this side: "Ah?"

"How old is the pope this year? We know that it is a tree Pixie/Elf, but we do n’t know how many years he has lived," Shandora **** floated in front of each other. "We have investigated from other sources, including various religious dossiers and folk legend. , But the Pope ’s age is fascinated, and in any religious record, records related to the Pope are deliberately ignored. There is no record of his coronation and no record of replacement. We do n’t even know that there have been several Popes since the Lost Church. Quite strange. In fact, we probably know a 'year', about 70,000 years, which is the longest possible age for the tree Pixie/Elf to appear on this planet. If the pope is the first generation tree Pixie/Elf ... You understand. "

"Do you suspect that the current pope was the pope who founded the **** religion when the ancient civilization collapsed?" The female leader looked at it strangely. "Oh, this is also normal. You are 'outsiders'. Pixie/Elf has a long lifespan. It ’s not surprising that you think so, but I can tell you for sure: The current pope is definitely not the original one. The original pope died long ago and has changed for many generations so far. ”

I was shocked: "Ah?"

"The Lost Church has never announced this to the outside world, but we can know some of their secret through secret channels," the female leader smiled, seeming somewhat self-satisfied, "The predecessor of the technical revivalism is actually the Lost Church. Some of the radical priests, um, are all short-lived species. Because they do n’t have the long lifespan of Pixie/Elf, they ca n’t master too old and too old knowledge. They are not so close to Pixie/Elf. These radical priests later differentiated into technology The revivalist, so we know some secrets about the church-the life of the pope is very short, and the life of the popes in the past is exactly the same: a hundred years of precision. "

"What's going on !?" I exclaimed, it was completely unexpected!

"No one can explain it clearly. Although many high-ranking priests know this, no one knows the reason. This 'cause' seems to involve the initial confidentiality of the church when it was established. Only the most core cardinal and the pope can contact To this secret, "the female leader shook her head." Some people said that mortals could not bear the power of the gods of science and technology and Magic, some people said that the pope took the guilt of knowledge on behalf of other mortals, and some people said that the ancient God had left a curse, In short, no matter whether Pope science and technology or Pope Magic can only live a hundred years old, and it has nothing to do with when they are crowned. The Pope is a Pixie/Elf baby who was selected by 'God' from birth. From the day they are selected, they are destined to only Can live a hundred years old, and the growth rate will be accelerated to be similar to Human Race. When the last pope returned to heaven, the new pope was just eighteen years old, and they have inherited it so accurately for tens of thousands of years. But the outside world does not know this, Because the lost gods never publish intelligence related to the pope, so the folks have legend, some say that both popes have lived 100,000 years old, some say that the pope is immortal, and some people speculate that the current two popes These are the seventh and sixth generations-unfounded guesses. "

"The news of the blockade by the church shows that the Pope ’s short life is also 'important intelligence', but it may have nothing to do with our concerns," Shandora and I looked at each other and then turned to the female leader. "So, Even average person in Pixie/Elf does n’t know about the Pope ’s short life? "

"I just heard that you divided Pixie/Elf into three types: tree Pixie/Elf, white Pixie/Elf, and high Pixie/Elf? It ’s strange that this distinction does n’t make much sense. They live in together, and their lineages have long been mixed," the female leader sucked. " Indeed, although the Pixie/Elf civilians are also long-lived species, they are still not eligible to access these secrets, because the two popes were born from a group that was "divine", and many Pixie/Elf babies are selected into the saint sequence every year. When he entered the church, he was deified. Since then, he has no relationship with the mortal World, and even their parents ca n’t meet. The pope chooses from these babies, and no one in the civilian population knows this process. "

I raised two fingers: "The last two questions, the first one: Since you know such a big piece of intelligence, why have you never thought of publishing it? Since the church takes this question very closely, then you take the news The announcement will definitely cause great uproar, don't you look at the church and dislike it? "

"Because it does n’t make sense, there are countless guesses about the top level of the church. Although the ruling of the church is very stable, there have never been less rumors about it. If you go to the southern city-state and you will know, there are even Pope legend I can only live for ten years, "the female leader shook her head helplessly." The church doesn't care about this. The people will only use this news as a chat after tea. Is the pope very short-lived? Does this affect World? Does it affect the crop harvest? ? No, so nobody cares. "

This World church is only concerned with the issue of "technical storage". This kind of "simplicity" has led them not to be afraid of these gossips against the pope himself. Although they will not take the initiative to announce it themselves, they also do not worry about others ’arrogance. With speculation, this is interesting.

"Okay, this question does not seem to matter, then the second one," I looked at the female leader curiously, "Since you guessed that the church sealed science and technology to avoid the end of the Human Race, why do you and you The people are still happily reviving the technology? Do n’t you worry that you will also die? ”

"Some things ... can't escape," the bland expression on the female leader's face was swept away with a dull expression, and at the moment it was replaced with full of fanaticism, "Maybe the church really wants to protect this World , But they are stubborn and stupid, and timid as rats! Those Pixie/Elf live too long but are too afraid of death, they forget what is the most important thing as a wise spirit, they blindly freeze the technology, blindly Escape, this will not solve the problem at all! Disaster may not be called by Human Race, but what if it finds itself? Technology and knowledge are the only weapons of mortals, but the church gave it to them because they were too sharp. It's sealed! Then we don't even have room to resist when the disaster comes to the door! The technical revivalist is to build this weapon for Human Race in the world, mortals should not escape like this, we have to find a way to solve the problem! "

The Shandora ball suddenly became brighter, and Her Majesty the Queen seemed very happy: "Oh, well said-as a Human Race with limited knowledge, it ’s really good for you to have this consciousness, I appreciate you, um, my husband should also Look at it this way. "

"You ... will you help us revive science and technology?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it won't work for now."

The female leader was suddenly ashamed: "Why?!"

I and Shandora looked at each other seriously and looked at the female leader seriously: "Because the" threat "you are about to face is probably not something that the ancient science and technology can handle. The lost gods are indeed too conservative, But before we are sure what the "disaster" they are trying to avoid is, we need to investigate and investigate. "

The female leader ’s ambition is high, and her people are not bad, but obviously she has not contacted the broader World so she does n’t know the real sinister, and I and Shandora know more, so I need to be more careful now:

Considering the escape experience of Pixie/Elf, it is easy to speculate that the threat to this World may be the abyss or the fleet of Fallen Apostles! If the latter is okay, now that Fallen Apostles has basically been solved, the rest is also the abyss of Xiling ’s troops, which can communicate, but if it is the abyss ... we can only have one Empire Admiral!

It can be traced through information overflow (that is, communication of certain specific frequencies), which looks like a way of infection in the abyss.

(Recommended a book, "Crazy Lich's Experiment Log", although it is not very fat but of good quality, very creative and innovative dungeon story, abandoned the vulgar route like Daguai upgrade, very happy, very Unconventional, the point is that the brain hole is bigger, that's it.)
