Chapter 141 Jurassic
[The heat from volcanic eruptions cannot spread, causing global temperatures to rise. ]
[Two hundred years have passed...]
[The global average temperature rose rapidly from 16 degrees Celsius before the disaster to 30 degrees Celsius...]
[Most of the vegetation was destroyed and the famine became more severe...]
In Su Qi's eyes, images of hungry, skinny animals flashed by.
[As plants disappeared and a large amount of toxic gases appeared, the oxygen content in the atmosphere dropped, and animals found it difficult to breathe. A large number of animals could not adapt and died one after another...]
Looking at the dead animals, Su Qi murmured, "Is this the mass extinction of species?"
"The mass extinction event from the Triassic to the Jurassic..."
The prompting sound continues.
[About 10,000 years after the disaster, the oxygen content in the atmosphere dropped to 10%, while the carbon dioxide content rose to 8%. ]
[Most crocodiles with poor respiratory function became extinct because they could not adapt to low oxygen content...]
A large number of crocodiles died in Su Qi's eyes, of course some of them survived.
[Water vapor in the atmosphere reacts chemically with sulfur dioxide to form acid rain...]
There was a heavy rain coming down from the sky.
[The spread of acid rain has further reduced the number of plants and caused soil acidification.]
At this moment, the picture in Su Qi's eyes changed rapidly again.
[A hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye...]
Su Qi saw that even after such a long time, the magma was still erupting and the disaster was still continuing.
[200,000 years after the disaster, the magma stopped erupting, and the volcanic ash formed covered the sky and the sun, reducing the amount of solar energy received by the earth by half.]
[As time went by, the heat generated by volcanic eruptions was exhausted, and the Earth entered a large-scale ice age, with the global average temperature dropping from 30 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius.]
[ As a result, the eggs of a large number of animals could not hatch, and many animals became extinct...]
[The Earth began to experience its first snowfall after the disaster...]
Su Qi saw white snowflakes falling from the sky.
They fell from the sky...
Snow and ice cover large areas at higher latitudes.
[Three hundred thousand years later, the ice age ended and the extinction factors gradually decreased, but at this time, the signs of life on Earth had almost disappeared. ]
[It has been 500,000 years since the magma eruption. The remaining plants continue to reproduce. They produce oxygen, which gradually increases the oxygen content in the atmosphere, and toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide gradually dissipate...]
Su Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Over a long period of time, batches of creatures became extinct before his eyes, and the Pangaea continent went from being complete to being divided.
If we were to say who was the biggest winner at the end of the Triassic period, it would probably be the dinosaurs.
Looking at the dinosaurs running and roaring on the hot and humid land, Su Qi murmured, "Should it be called the Jurassic Period now?"
The Jurassic period can be regarded as a synonym for dinosaurs, not only because they dominated this period, but also because of dinosaur movies, which makes this term familiar.
At this time, the prompt sound continues.
[While you are thinking, time has come to 160 million years ago. ]
The scene changes rapidly.
Dinosaurs ran around, hunted, and killed animals one by one. They completely became the overlords of this era.
Because of the climate, their bodies became very large. Su Qi even saw one with a long neck among them. It looked to be more than ten meters tall, as big as a tall building, like a small monster fought by Ultraman.
At this time, Su Qi's attention was attracted by a scene not far away.
Seven small brown dinosaurs appeared before his eyes.
They are short, only one or two meters tall, about the same height as a human, with two feet on the ground and a pair of small claws on their chest, similar in appearance to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
At this time, they were gathered together to resist being hunted by a dinosaur more than six meters tall.
The agility afforded by their small size allows them to dodge attacks nimbly, and their fairly sharp teeth can also cause some damage.
It's just a pity that due to the size difference, their attacks were too ineffective. On the contrary, the large dinosaur could cause tons of damage with just a bite from its sharp teeth.
Blood splattered and wails rang out one after another.
Seeing how they were struggling to resist, Su Qi couldn't help but shook his head, "What a pity..."
Although they can cooperate, it is only at the level of lions, and they do not have any advanced intelligence at all.
"Come to think of it, dinosaurs are really rubbish. They have lived for hundreds of millions of years, but they haven't developed any intelligence in such a long time?"
"Given so much time, they would have already been shoulder to shoulder with the black hole, right?"
Su Qi muttered something.
He also knew that this was because dinosaurs were physically fit in all aspects and did not need the assistance of intelligence like humans to survive better, which was why they had not evolved intelligence even after such a long time.
Of course, if they were given more time, perhaps some individual species could gradually evolve intelligence, but there is no if in everything, and in the end, before they could accumulate enough wisdom, they were killed by the rumored meteorite.
At this time, Su Qi pondered, "Should I do something?"
After the Jurassic period, the dinosaurs dominated the era, and they became the dominant force for more than 100 million years.
The time is really too long. If I don’t do something, I will always feel bored.
"Why don't we try and see if we can give some dinosaurs some intelligence?"
Su Qi was very interested.
Whether it succeeds or not, it can be a bit of entertainment. As for whether doing so will change history or not, he is not too worried.
Su Qi suspected that this world line was not the past line of the real world. After all, Qin Shihuang's past line was still there. It was impossible that this world line was also a past world line, right?
Su Qi thought with amusement.
Since it is not the past world line, of course he has nothing to worry about.
Su Qi ordered, "The acceleration of deduction will be temporarily stopped."
After saying that, he fell into deep thought, "How can we change dinosaurs?"
After a while...
"If you want to achieve the fastest intervention effect, you have to start with the way you think."
As for how to accomplish this, Su Qi also had a solution.
"What can bring about change faster than instilling knowledge ?"
Su Qi smiled slightly.
At this time, seven small dinosaurs in the distance, four dead and three injured, wailed and fled away.
"Roar!" The victor roared, declaring himself the victor. He did not chase after them, but lowered his head and began to eat the four corpses on the ground.
"Let me experiment on you."
Su Qi's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, and instantly appeared in front of the three small dinosaurs that were fleeing in the distance.
He glanced at the small dinosaur running in front.
The opponent was covered in wounds and blood. He was the largest, fastest, and most ferocious-looking of the three.
"For convenience, let's give this dinosaur a code name... Well, let's call it No. 1." Su Qi said.
The next second, he had an idea and directly threw some knowledge in his mind to it.
Number One, who was running in the front, stopped running. His entire dinosaur face became dull and went into a state of shutdown.
At that moment, a holy white light suddenly flashed in No. 1's mind, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in glory.
It didn't know what that feeling was, it just felt extremely comfortable, just like facing the sun in the sky and being basked by the sun.
In an instant, instinctive emotions of living creatures such as panic, fear, and awe flashed through its mind.
Then, some knowledge that appeared in its little head caused its brain to crash. The whole dinosaur stopped in place, motionless like a stupid dragon.
