The Omniscient

Huang Ji went to bed at twelve and woke up at nine the next day.

No way, he just slept a little longer than others because his mind was too tired...

While sleeping, he also had a dream.

In the dream, he seemed to see an elephant trampling the farmland and eating the crops.

The local farmers were very dissatisfied, so they dug traps near the farmland and lured the elephants into the pits.

Eventually, apparently, the elephant was killed by farmers.

And this is the last elephant in Yu Province. After that, the Central Plains elephant became extinct.

Huang Ji woke up and played a set of internal classics, from the first group to the fourth group, all practiced again.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he came to the front room.

Seeing Lin Li sleeping on the carpet in the front hall, you don't need to ask him, Huang Ji also knows that he stayed up late last night and didn't sleep until dawn.

There is not much progress, that is, I succeeded twice, but because of this staying up late, I lost 20 hours of life...

Huang Ji shook his head, did not wake him up, and went out to buy breakfast by himself.

Back and sitting on the sofa, drinking porridge, eating eggs, he continued to read.

I actually dreamed of an elephant in the Central Plains, yes, that was the last historical record I saw before going to bed.

In the past, there were many elephants in Yu Province, and it could even be said that elephants ran all over the place...

Before Huang Ji went to bed, he saw a document, which was recorded in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, in which farmers hunted and killed elephants.

This is also the last time a wild elephant appeared in the history of Henan Province.

For more than a thousand years, there were no wild elephants in the north.

Why did the Central Plains go extinct? Huang Ji looked at the history books and couldn't help but think about the answer to this question.

There is no doubt that human beings must have gone extinct, but Huang Ji wants to deduce a more detailed historical process.

Once he succeeds, the past tense information will be unlocked, and you can go back to the past, see through the historical development process of all things, and reverse the past.

Although the last elephant died in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, as early as the Han Dynasty, there were basically no wild elephants in the north.

The famous Cao Chong called it an elephant, and Sun Quan in the south paid tribute to the elephants he found from Guangdong and Guangxi. Obviously at that time, even if there were elephants in the north, they were already critically endangered, and they remained deep in the mountains and forests of Henan Province.

The Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu recorded, 'The merchants wear elephants in order to abuse Dongyi. Duke Zhou used his teachers to drive them away, as for Jiangnan'. During the war between Yin and Zhou, elephant soldiers had already developed. At that time, there were still many elephants in the Central Plains.

However, Yin and Shang hunted and killed a large number of wild elephants. A large amount of ivory and ivory products were excavated from the Yin Ruins in Anyang. If there was trading, they would be killed. Wild elephants were hunted and killed in large numbers during the Shang Dynasty, and then they were expelled by Duke Zhou to the south. Except for the deep forests in Yu Province, there are almost no elephants, and they are on the verge of extinction. If they are found, they will be hunted and killed. Wouldn’t it be completely extinct?”

Huang Ji thought that the derivation was no problem, and the Central Plains elephant was wiped out because of the indiscriminate killing of humans.

The root of everything is that Yin merchants love ivory, so the Central Plains elephants that originally spread all over Henan province only have two or three big cats and kittens.

However, Huang Ji did not find that the past tense was unlocked.

This means that he uses the wrong concept, or the derivation is completely wrong.

Isn't it right?

Huang Ji tilted his head, the Central Plains elephant was not wiped out because of the indiscriminate hunting and killing of humans?

No matter how you think about it, that's right... Earlier, there was a legend that Emperor Shun served an elephant: Shun cultivated in Lishan. There are elephants for it, and birds for it.

Could it be that in the era when elephants can cultivate land, they have already started to hunt and kill them like crazy?

Huang Ji pondered and tried to deduce that Zhongyuanxiang began to be hunted and killed in large numbers in ancient times.

Towards the endangered historical process.

However... it's still not right!

Huang Ji frowned, he could have used a better derivation, but he still chose to deduce this one.

He still didn't believe it. Is it so difficult to deduce the extinction of an elephant?

Then, until one o'clock in the afternoon, he failed to deduce the correct answer.

How did the elephant go extinct? Huang Ji thought hard with his eyes closed.

Not to mention the correct answer, in fact, as long as the concept used is correct, the process is basically correct, and the result is mostly correct, then it can be unlocked.

This was his experience of unlocking the future state, and after trying various results, he was still unable to unlock it.

Meaning, the derivation is fundamentally wrong.

Big brother? Lin Li stretched and woke up, seemingly startled by Huang Ji.

You said, how did the elephants in Yu Province go extinct? Huang Ji asked him casually.

Lin Li was stunned and said, Ah? There are still elephants in Yu Province? Isn't the elephant in Africa and Southeast Asia?

...Forget it, let's go out to eat. Huang Ji said.

It was time for Huang Ji to think about medical treatment. After lunch, he took Lin Li to search for something on the street, and soon he found the information he wanted.

It was a telephone pole with all kinds of small advertisements plastered on it.

What is finally saved, what is asking for a child with a lot of money, what is a dog-seeking notice, everything is available.

Huang Ji pointed to the bottom of the telephone pole, a very inconspicuous sticker that was only the size of a business card and said: You can contact this person and help me get a graduation certificate, and Medical qualification certificate.

Lin Li nodded, pointed to the telephone pole, at the height of the human face, a particularly eye-catching advertisement, which was also a fake certificate, and said, Why don't you contact this family?

Look at his introduction in more detail, and the advertisement paper is larger than others, and the location is also very eye-catching. At first glance, it is an industry elite in the process of false certificates...

Hearing this, Huang Ji, who was beside him, laughed dumbly.

Lin Li believes that the bigger and more prominently posted this kind of small advertisement, the more capable it must be.

But this is obviously a typical misunderstanding of thinking. After careful scrutiny, it makes no sense.

Isn't it right? Lin Li couldn't help asking when he saw Huang Ji's laughter.

Huang Ji said with a smile: The person who posted this advertisement is really attentive, grabbing the best position, and the paper used is bigger than others, maybe check it every day, if it is covered or torn by a peer, then Post it again, so we come at any time and it's probably in the best position.

But it can only show that his advertising skills are better than others, and he can promote it. What does it have to do with his ability to produce false certificates? Not to mention the industry elite.

I even think he is not in the flow!

Lin Li scratched his head, not knowing what to do.

Huang Ji said: Let's put it this way, the person who posted such a good advertisement for false certificates has probably already been arrested...

This... Lin Li was stunned, then suddenly.

Advertising is so well-executed, the tree is big, and the business may be better than others for a while, but after all, it is a violation and will not last long.

Such a high profile, even if he is not arrested now, I am afraid it will be soon.

In contrast, sticking your own small advertisements in inconspicuous places is the real evergreen tree in the industry, and the old fritters are certified.

Even if it takes a long time to wait for a customer, it doesn’t matter, it’s better to be stable, and you can eat repeat customers and use customers to attract new customers.

The purpose of posting small advertisements is just to attract the first customer.

People who can do this must be very confident in their skills, otherwise how will they eat?

Conversely, those who work hard to promote may be a manifestation of technical insecurity.

Huang Ji said: What's the use of sticking a lot? What's the use of even good technology? No matter how good the technology of counterfeiting is, the police will not arrest him? If the business is good, the big tree will die faster, and the long-term flow is the king.

Speaking of this, he suddenly froze.

Lin Li was still nodding, but Huang Ji patted him on the shoulder.

That's right... A species with a large size, strong combat power, and various tricks is not successful. Only by living long can you be successful. If you want to live long, you must adapt to the environment. Huang Ji said, he thought about the problem Where is it.

Lin Li blinked and said, Ah? Can false certificates lead to the survival of the fittest?

There is no survival of the fittest, only the survival of the fittest. Huang Ji corrected: The success of a species does not depend on whether it is powerful. You can't beat me, but can I say that you are inferior?

On the contrary, species occupying a higher ecological niche are more prone to extinction because they are difficult to adapt to the environment!

Dinosaurs were strong enough that they occupied the upper-middle ecological niche, while the ancestors of mammals were very weak at the time and were at the bottom of the food chain. But after a disaster, all the dinosaurs went extinct, and the ancestors of weak mammals continued. Who do you say? Who is better?

Lin Li scratched his head and said, Yes... I remember it, big brother, but why did you tell me this?

Nothing... Huang Ji smiled and began to deduce the extinction of the Central Plains.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, when a large number of mountains were developed, the forest land was cut down, and wild elephants had nowhere to forage or hide, so they could only break into human habitats to eat crops.

Provoked humans, no doubt, pawn.

This is the reason why the last elephant died, not because humans wanted to kill it, but because of the environment.

Yin merchants are really good at killing. They hunted and killed a large number of wild elephants to obtain ivory, but they have not killed the wild elephants for hundreds of years, which shows that they are also breeding, or hunting and killing them regularly and in moderation.

Henan Province was one of the most suitable places for agriculture at that time. Duke Zhou did not choose to kill the enemy’s war elephants, but drove them to the south. The reason for the expulsion was to prevent the elephants from trampling on the farmland. At that time, the Henan Province had been extensively developed. , not enough to support so many wild elephants.

The change of the environment is probably also due to human beings, but the direct definition is the cause of human beings, and then using this as a premise to combine the clues in the literature is definitely not in line with the attitude of exploring history.

The extinction of the Central Plains is due to the disappearance of habitats. Most of the disappearance of habitats is caused by humans, but it is due to the development of agriculture.

No, agriculture is only a later process. It was the Yellow River that caused the mass migration and death of elephants earlier!

It is clear that Huang Ji is also a top expert in the field of biology, but when deducing the extinction process of a species, he did not comprehensively consider the impact of the environment on the species.

In fact, he has just mastered the research methods of historians, and he wants to find clues from the literature.

As everyone knows, the light literature has a fart. To deduce the historical process of a thing, it must be considered from all aspects. The more knowledge is used, the closer the result is to the truth.

A mere historian cannot examine ancient times. All top archaeologists are biologists and geologists at the same time...even anthropologists.

When Huang Ji made this clear, the past tense of information opened.

Concrete floor? Huang Ji turned his head and walked into the park next to him.

In the park, he looked at the ground under his feet, right where he was standing. Time seemed to be running backwards, and he was looking back!

Hi... Huang Ji felt that his brain was unbearable, and quickly blocked most of the information.

He doesn't want anything else, but only accepts geological information, which reduces the pressure.

One hundred years...two hundred years...one thousand years...two thousand years...two thousand five hundred years...this is the capital of Korea.

Hey, uh! Even if you only accept geological information, isn't it enough for 2,500 years? There's a fart geological change in 2,500 years!

The yellow pole shields it, and then the pressure disappears.

Huh? Huang Ji quickly discovered that he could still trace back to Gu, but the content was blocked.

When rehearsing the future, the reason why it is difficult to go back too long is because time is passing and changing every moment, so Huang Ji is under the impact every moment, and the duration of the preview is very short, and he will faint.

But the past tense of information will not change!

History is history, and even if the earth is destroyed now, history is the same. Information that will not change, today's perception is the same, tomorrow's perception is the same!

So he doesn't need to worry at all. History will not change anyway. He pushed back thousands of years ago in the shielded state, and then released the shield, there is no pressure at all.

Not to mention thousands of years, even if it is reversed for billions of years, it is possible to reverse the duration of inversion, as long as it does not continuously receive information for a long time.

History is there, and he is just inquiring, not deducing. This is not the same as the future state.

The only thing that limited him was the amount of information. He could only roughly check the context. If he knew too many more detailed details in a short period of time, he would be dizzy.

Huang Ji closed his eyes and quickly felt that four thousand years ago, there was a whole country here!

Where he is, all the five senses around him are flooded! The waves directly submerged here!

You can't see anything just by looking at the geology, so let's open it up... Huang Ji lifted the shield and felt a severe headache again for a while.

But correspondingly, he also knew what happened to the flood...

Three thousand nine hundred and fifty years ago, the upper Yellow River suffered an earthquake, forming a natural flood storage dam. Six months later, the dam suddenly collapsed, causing floods in the middle and lower reaches.

Huang Ji kept micro-manipulating. In order to ensure that he could withstand the pressure, he searched for some information purposefully. If he didn't want to know for the time being, he would block it all. If he wanted to know, he would open the information.

Repeating this, he gradually understood the real reason for the extinction of the Central Plains.

The flood was intermittent, lasting forty-two years periodically, and even destroyed many small ancient kingdoms.

The people in the middle and lower reaches of the river were in dire straits, and their civilization suffered heavy losses. In the land under his feet, an ancient city was completely buried by the floods.

The Yellow River passes through Xinzheng. It is conceivable that the entire Henan Province has a dense water network, and it will almost certainly flood in the rainy season.

The old channel was washed away, the floods were intermittent, back and forth, back and forth... People were eager to manage it.

So after forty-two years, three generations, and finally in the hands of Dayu, people finally managed it.

For their own survival, the people in this area adapted to the disaster by dredging rivers with mountains, digging river channels, dredging floods, and adapting to disasters.

Humans are a species that will actively transform nature, and this kind of wisdom is also part of human adaptation to the environment, but they have adapted, and some of the animals that originally lived in the Yellow River Basin have become extinct.

The mutation of the ecological environment will lead to the extinction of some species that cannot adapt. The higher the ecological niche, the more difficult it is for the species to adapt to the mutation of the external environment.

Elephants in the Central Plains, they used to be at the top of the food chain, excluding humans, they have no natural enemies.

Floods have a great impact on humans, but also on elephants, directly leading to the death of a large number of wild elephants.

However, this will not make them extinct. What really puts wild elephants in critical danger is Dayu's flood control!

Dayu dredged the waterway, and then diverted the Yellow River and sent it to the north...so that most of the entire Henan Province was located in the south of the river.

This is not the point, the point is that he opened up the mountains to ditch the rivers, artificially excavated a large number of tributaries, and destroyed the habitats of many animals...

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have carried out multiple blows on wild elephants in the past 42 years, and the environment has undergone drastic changes.

Wild elephants have survived two consecutive baptisms, but they still survived tenaciously, but they ushered in the third wave of slow blows... Agricultural development...

Dayu's water control is undoubtedly a huge help to the development of agriculture. Next to the artificially excavated rivers, human beings have established their own new gathering areas and let the tributaries irrigate the farmland. This water conservancy project has made agriculture advance by leaps and bounds.

But this is not good for wild elephants and instead gives them despair as they lose their large water source, which elephants have to drink every day.

It is impossible for humans to allow them to be close to the rivers that irrigate their farmland, to the water conservancy projects that they have spent three generations building...

At this point, the Great Yu controlled the floods, and Yu’s soldiers settled in Kyushu, and designated the south of the river as 'Yuzhou'. However, on the fertile plains of Yuzhou, where wild elephants used to run everywhere, there were no traces of wild elephants. Except for the migratory ones, only a few were able to survive. Exist in the mountains and forests until extinction.

Huang Ji never expected: Da Yu, it's you...

This is nature. To save our fellow citizens, we must harm other species. Some people cheer and some people cry.
