Chapter 1362: “Petri Dishes” and “Hatchery”
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, the people of Turan were different.
They had “Haka.”
This allowed the Turan babies to grasp a wealth of knowledge and skills as soon as they were born.
The descendants of doctors naturally beca doctors, the descendants of warriors naturally beca warriors, the descendants of fishern could naturally catch fish, and the descendants of hunters naturally beca kings of the jungle.
Just like the descendants of fish were born to swim, the descendants of falcons could fly freely without a teacher, and newbom antelopes could run as fast as they could with their innate skills.
The existence of Haka had undoubtedly greatly improved the early Turan people. In the chaotic mont when civilization was just born, they had the first-mover advantage in the competition of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
It allowed them to stand out among the countless birds, beasts, and mammals and beco the “spirit of all things” on their mother planet.
However, they had to pay a high price to possess haka.
‘Whether it was Earth or the Tulan mother planet, there was no free lunch.
Possessing haka ant a longer gestation period than that of the Earthlings or modern Homo sapiens.
During the gestation process of new life, the mother would also need to replenish more nutrients and energy.
After all, the knowledge and skills passed down from generation to generation of adults were equivalent to a surging wave of information. It was not sothing that the young brain, which had just developed from an embryo, could withstand in an instant.
A longer gestation period ant a higher risk factor.
And once the fetus couldn’t withstand the haka, the probability of miscarriage and distortion was much higher than modern Homo sapiens.
Secondly, the Haka could pass on the knowledge and skills of the parents and even the ancestors.
But it was also easy to fix the offspring on the path of the parents and ancestors.
Since the offspring of a hunter had mastered hunting skills from birth.
It would be difficult for him to beco a fisherman, a doctor, or a wise man again.
The human brain has its limits.
Even ancient turans, like Neanderthals, had brains 20% or even 30% larger than modern Homo sapiens.
But after “Haka’took up too much space and consud too much energy, the remaining space and energy may not be able to run as rich as the wisdom of Earth people and clear thinking.
Thirdly, it was also the most fatal thing.
The haka seed to naturally conflict with the concept of teamwork.
This caused the size of the ancient Tulan race to be far smaller than the Earthlings who had just been born.
The Social Division of Labor and coordination system was also far less complicated than the Earthlings.
If one thought about it carefully, it was easy to understand.
Since the ancient Tulan could pass on a large amount of knowledge and skills through the Haka and had the first-mover advantage in the survival competition, in a sense, they were smarter and stronger than modern Homo sapiens.
There was no need for them to form an “Imaginary community’with strangers who were not related by blood and treat each other as fellow countryn who shared a common enemy and shared life and death.
The birth of the so-called civilization was never a miracle.
It was a helpless act that they had no choice but to do in order to survive.
ng Chao guessed that it was precisely because of these flaws that the Neanderthals who had haka on Earth slowly lost the survival competition and eventually gave up the throne of the spirit of all living things, to the modern Homo sapiens without haka, who seed weaker and dumber, but had no
choice but to be more united and crazily reproduce their descendants and expand their race.
However, the environnt of Tulan’s ho planet was different from that of Earth.
Due to the constant tearing of the three satellites, the tidal forces on Tulan’s ho planet should be more powerful and changeable than on Earth.
The geological changes and extre weather on Tulan’s ho planet, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, torrential rains and floods that lasted for thousands of years, should also be more intense and frequent than those on Earth.
such a harsh environnt made it impossible for modern Homo sapiens to survive without haka.
Even if they managed to form a tribe that was even larger than the Neanderthals and established primitive tribes and even primitive nations, they would still be able to survive.
Such a tribe or country could easily be torn apart by a volcanic eruption, flood, or a continuous earthquake and be reduced to ashes.
Therefore, on Tulan’s ho planet, the modern Homo sapiens who were not adapted to the local environnt gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
The ancient Tulan people who were similar to the Neanderthals on Earth beca the overlords who could call the wind and summon the rain, becoming the spirits of all living things.
Of course, as the civilization continued to develop, the footsteps of the ancient Turans gradually spread to the entire planet, conquering all the living creatures there. They even raised their heads countless tis and looked up at the starry sky, pondering over the significance of the sky, it was as if there
was a shining sea of stars at an infinite height.
At this mont, they also understood the concepts of unity, cooperation, expanding the size of a race, and constructing a complex social system.
From this created a brilliant and brilliant Turan civilization.
But when the Turan civilization accelerated… until it broke out of its ho planet… and for the first ti imprinted the footsteps of man… on their moons.
“Haka’’is still one of the important pillars of the existence and continuation of the Tulan civilization.
Because Homo sapiens, the modern Homo sapiens, had no such concept.
It took ng Chao a long ti before he could digest and absorb the information that the other party transmitted.
He understood that in the depths of the human-faced Spider’s brain, inside the tal plate in the vast starry sky, there were thousands of humming sounds.
They were the knowledge, wisdom, skills, and mories of the ancient Tulan people.
They were the soul fragnts of the ancient Tulan people, similar to the heroic spirits of Dragon City.
It was the library and Museum of the Tulan civilization.
It was… the totem of the Tulan civilization.
“It’s really incredible.”
ng Chao muttered, “I thought that the so-called ‘totem’was the tattoo on the body of a high-level orc, or the pattern carved on the surface of weapons and armor — those colorful, colorful, colorful, mysterious and complex things that could absorb spiritual energy and activate all kinds of extraordinary
powers
“Those are not real totems. To be more precise, they are not all totems.”
A voice said sowhat wistfully, “Real totems store all the history, wisdom, technology, and secrets of the Tulan civilization. They are definitely not tricks that can only be used to condense fireballs, Frost, lightning, and Venom to make things sturdier and sharper.
“It’s a pity that the Tulan people who are still proud of themselves after degenerating into ‘advanced orcs‘have already lost 99% of their totems. They can only tattoo so broken and mottled pieces on their bodies. Little did they know that such a primitive and clumsy thod can only touch the surface of
totems
“I’s so strange that you don’t know ‘haka’.”
Another voice said, “Your civilization doesn’t have the concept of ‘haka’. This is impossible. Are you guys ‘Hashi
The other party threw out another syllable that ng Chao found hard to understand.
But on second thought, according to the word-formation in Tulan, ‘Hashra’was a compound word. The ‘Ha‘in front of it ant ‘haka’, which was the aning of totems.
The word “Shra’in the back ant “Blank, no”, but it had a derogatory aning.
In the Tulan slang, it ant a person who lacked courage and strength and went out to hunt and fight, but gained nothing.
When combined, it probably ant sothing like “A weakling without totems”.
‘ng Chao guessed that on the Tulan howorld, there were initially two kinds of humans, “Neanderthals”and “Modern Homo sapiens”.
After the Neanderthals won the survival contest, they regarded totems as the reason why they beca the spirits of all living things, as well as the key to distinguish between humans and non-humans.
Thus, the modern Homo sapiens, which had long been extinct on the mother planet of Tulan, beca hashra, which was “The weak who went extinct because they didn’t have totems.”.
ng Chao could feel that because of his existence as ‘Hashra’, the other party’s worldview had been shaken.
If ng Chao had realized that a group of gorillas could create their own civilization, he would have been shocked too.
The sound from the tal plate sounded again.
One voice said, “It’s unbelievable that ‘people without totems’can create their own civilization!”
Another voice was confused, “Without the power of totems, how could your civilization resist the invasion of all kinds of natural disasters and beasts when it was just born?”
Another voice sighed, “You have chosen the most difficult and long road. We should pay you the highest respect, ‘people without totems’. You are the bravest and most tenacious travelers on this road of survival that is full of thorns and flas.”
There were several other voices, “The civilizations that have transmigrated to this planet more or less all have ‘haka’. Dwarves, elves, Undead, giants, holy light humans, ogres, and abyss demons all have their own innate skills.
“Nowy, a civilization that has never had ‘haka’but has survived to this day has also co here.
“Perhaps, as you said, your civilization can bring us new possibilities and help us find the truth and a way out!”
“Wait –”
ng Chaoyue felt that sothing was wrong. “You don’t know the truth and a way out, either. You Don’t know where this planet is, and how are you going to leave this place
“If you knew, we wouldn’t have been trapped here for ten thousand years. The entire civilization has been deteriorating and is about to be completely eroded.”
The voice said, “Since your civilization has the sa level of developnt as the Tulan civilization when they were still on the mother planet, and you know that there are ‘orcs, dwarves, elves, undead, and holy light humans‘on this planet, there are carbon-based human-shaped intelligent life forms with
similar structures but subtle differences.
“You should have guessed that we all co from different planets but have the sa, oldest genetic origin.
“As for why we are here, what kind of place is this?
“We have thought about this question for ten thousand years, but we still haven’t co to a conclusion… We can only guess that this planet is an ancient port, a transportation pathway where space overlaps, an arena where different civilizations fight each other, and a place like a Petri dish or an incubator
