Chapter 376: Lord Fortune Tanuki Kicks Open the Door to a New World
[The Fulili Old Master's Team wish has been fulfilled. In the field of spiritual particle research, there has always been an inexplicable 'geological' issue, which is the billion-year blank history in the strata, as if that period of Blue Star history vanished into thin air.]
[A once unsolved mystery might have reached a preliminary conclusion due to Fulili Old Master's exploration of history. Fulili Old Master propels the progress of history.]
[Wish Power +6]
Ansheng had just walked out of the ruins conference hall when the wish list in his mind suddenly flashed with light.
The wish fulfillment settlement interface popped up.
Before Ansheng could take a closer look, another wish refreshed on the list.
[Hoping they can uphold the legacy, allowing that cross-temporal truth to be passed down. - Before disappearing, the Dragon People quietly scanned the new lives before them, feeling a tinge of doubt, wondering if these primitive beings could understand human words.]
[Wish Fulfilled: Build a New Legacy Ruins (The Dragon People hope you build legacy ruins and emphasize particularly on carving their HD faces on the murals. Scientists who left ruins on Blue Star might have been emotional, while the Dragon People, apart from being sentimental, felt building a fungus research institute was romantic and pretentious.)]
[(They hope you build ruins, highlighting the achievements of their civilization inheritors, with a flattering epitaph no less than three thousand words, especially the heroic posture of the Dragon People in bio-armor, otherwise, they feel it would be a waste of energy.)]
"........"
After seeing the wish refresh, Ansheng fell into deep silence upon reading the details page.
"That pointy-headed, thick-browed big-eyed one, looks quite serious and solemn from the appearance...."
"Never thought, it's actually such a show-off, building legacy ruins just to show off."
The appearance of the Dragon People was very dignified, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking straight-forward. In their speech, there was not much playful or teasing tone, but rather, they seriously explained the reasons for the extinction of two Blue Star eras.
But the wish list wouldn't lie to a fox.
After numerous verifications, Ansheng knew that anything appearing in the wish list details page must be the heartfelt words.
The self-proclaimed Dragon Person, guardian of civilization legacy, who left no name, was definitely very flamboyant in life.
The purpose of the Dragon People building the ruins was very pure.
Firstly, being sentimental.
Secondly, feeling it was romantic.
Thirdly, to show off in front of later generations.
"If I had known it was this flamboyant, I would have added more ginger, onion, garlic, and cooking wine just now..."
"I'd have given it a garlic wreath as well," Ansheng secretly murmured in his mind while turning his gaze to the column where the wish was just fulfilled.
[Fulili Old Master's Team] wish was a sentiment Ansheng had after meeting Wang Qiqi not long ago, when Wang Qiqi was showing Ansheng around in Chang'an City.
The number of spirit beasts in Chang'an City had increased significantly, and occasionally some ancient historical documents could be uncovered, making the woodcutters' work very busy. Seeing the highly self-managed Fulili Old Master, Wang Qiqi couldn't help but hope there were a hundred of them.
If there were a hundred of Fulili Old Masters, the problem of the abnormal number of spirit beasts in Qinling wouldn't be an issue at all.
Within the [Fulili Old Master's Team] wish, the wish consisted of two parts: one was resolving the Qinling mutation, the other was solving the problem in the field of spiritual particle archaeology.
The Wish Power being settled now comes from the second part of the [Team] wish, relating to the archaeological problem.
Where did the 'missing billion years' of Blue Star's strata go?
This question used to have no answer, but now possibly there is one.
The reason for the billion-year gap in the strata is that the layers at that time had overlays.
Those overlays were all creations of meat civilization, although they had already perished, remnants still existed on the surface.
Because of this covering, the layers activities entrapped them, causing a gap where there should have been continuity, and then, as those creations were essentially just flesh, they gradually decayed into nutrients for the land over a long history.
Thus, a significant gap appeared in the strata, with nearly a billion-year gap in the history before and after.
No matter how scientists speculate, they could never know what happened back then.
This geological issue dated from 1785.
Today, in 2024, it was answered.
The door opened by Fulili Old Master wasn't just the door of the ruins, but rather, a new epoch for the field of spiritual particle geology.
Though in academic circles, scholars had speculated there should have been a civilization prior to the fungal civilization, they could never find strong evidence.
But with the [Dragon Man Ruins] unearthed, what was once a blurred boundary between two civilizations now had a clear delineation.
The Dragon People civilization inherited the technologies of the meat civilization, with extremely similar precursor genetic engineering, but developed different branches later. However, these branch technologies were all lost due to the genetic pool contamination suffered by the Dragon People.
The two different civilizations gradually came to be viewed as one epoch from the later Blue Star people's perspective.
Simultaneously.
Due to the influence of the late Dragon People, some rumors and parts of Dragon People civilization's humanities and social sciences culture were left in the Xia Country tribal era.
...
"Fulili Old Master, your iced cola...." Carrying a Fennec Fox in her arms, Wang Ya, currently the most idle person in the ruin's inner space, voluntarily took up the assistant's role, bringing a cup of iced cola to the still-pensive Fulili Old Master.
"Thank you!"
Stretching out his small fox paw, holding the bottle cap, Ansheng took a deep sip through the straw, feeling his nearly oxygen-deprived brain cells slightly resuscitated.
Though the Dragon People's words were few, their influence was profound, and Ansheng also knew they were exceptionally flamboyant.
If they lived in modern times, they might have been like Mo Shengjie, a cousin of Mo Yiqing.
"What did Old Li and the others say?" Pulling the cola close to his side, Ansheng looked at the woodcutters sitting at their office desks, working diligently, and asked.
"They said once the documents are archived, they will head straight to Xinxing Agricultural Science College," Wang Ya responded.
Though Xia Country had been doing paperless work for quite a while.
To the Security Bureau, keeping paper files is still an indispensable step, with paper archives along with video CD-ROMs stored in one file.
Wang Qiqi and the others were writing diligently, recording the entire contact process with extraterrestrials.
Li Wenkang, looking all relaxed, was typing away, making a document to upload to the Security Bureau's cloud, for the management to present it upward.
"Don't rush, even though I'm anxious too, but we must prioritize things correctly."
Li Wenkang, finishing the archival, said regretfully: "If I'd known we would need to write a PPT, I would've brought some grad students over; those under my command are excellent at making PPTs in a flash."
"Are we heading off?"
Resting on Wang Ya's lap, already scrolling through short videos on the note platform, Ansheng looked up and asked Li Wenkang.
"Naturally, sitting for too long isn't good for health," Li Wenkang said with a smile.
