The fourth chapter of the Global Human Talent Competition! Chapter 32 Mechanical Organisms
Before seeing the ancient human remains, Chu Zhou and others had ever imagined what these remains looked like?
The word "ancient" usually makes people imagine something ancient and primitive.
In their imagination, this relic may be related to elements such as tribes, hunting, totems, etc.
But no one could imagine that this is actually an enormous steel city.
People are always used to associating "steel" with the technologically advanced modern society.
It is hard to imagine that such a steel city existed billions of years ago.
The steel city before us is home to countless huge buildings made of steel structures.
Even the ground was covered with huge steel rails.
However, after an extremely long period of erosion.
This huge steel city is already covered in rust.
Many rusty steel buildings could no longer support their structures and collapsed.
Rusty steel structures were everywhere in the vision of Chu Zhou and others.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that this was a relic left behind by ancient humans."
Oriental Pearl exclaimed, squatted down, picked up a rusty, palm-sized nail from the ground, and looked at it carefully.
"Yes. If it wasn't confirmed that these were the remains of ancient humans... if it was said to be the remains of humans from the era before the Great Cataclysm, I would find it easier to accept."
Yang Zhenzhen also picked up a rusty piece of iron the size of a face from the ground, studied it for a while, and found that it used to be a gear.
Xie Longyuan, Bai Changming, Ye Yun, Luo Yue, Pang He, Zhu Yushi, Gu Xi and others also began to explore nearby.
"Teacher, let's go in and take a look!"
"good!"
Chu Zhou and Sister Dao also stepped into the steel city.
Click, click!
This steel city has been severely corroded by rust.
Chu Zhou and Sister Dao stepped on some mechanical components and rails, turning them directly into iron slag.
“There’s a mural here!”
Not long after, Luo Yue suddenly shouted.
When Chu Zhou and others heard the sound, they all rushed over immediately.
When Chu Zhou and the other arrived, Bai Changming, Ye Yun and Luo Yue were standing in front of a huge mural, looking at it carefully.
This mural, carved on a huge rock, does not quite match the style of the steel city.
Moreover, the carving technique of the murals is very crude, and the lines are extremely simple, like a child's graffiti.
There are only four murals.
The first picture shows many people standing together, holding tools such as hammers, saws, knives, and shovels.
In the second picture, a steel city appeared, with many people cheering in the city.
In the third picture, in the steel city, parts of some people's limbs have turned into mechanical components.
In the fourth picture, in the steel city, all normal humans have disappeared, and there are only robots of different sizes in the city.
"Could these four paintings reveal the development of civilization of the ancient humans who built this steel city?"
Chu Zhou muttered to himself. Seeing the changes of the humans in the murals, he basically understood the meaning of these four murals.
"They seem to be trying to take the mechanized evolution route... I don't know how far they have gone. But they should have failed in the end, otherwise, they would not have disappeared into history."
"The evolutionary path we humans are currently on has almost reached a limit... I don't know if we can succeed in the end."
Sister Dao said this with a heavy tone.
Upon hearing this, Bai Changming, Ye Yun and Luo Yue's faces darkened slightly.
Judging from this huge steel city and the information revealed by the four murals, ancient humans were not necessarily worse than modern humans.
But the civilization established by ancient humans seems to have been completely destroyed.
The evolutionary path attempted by ancient humans also failed.
Will the evolutionary path that humans are taking today be successful in the future?
If the evolutionary path that humans are currently taking fails, will modern humans also disappear like ancient humans did?
These issues, which involve the history of human civilization and evolution, are so heavy that the atmosphere becomes depressing.
Chu Zhou smiled: "Why bother with so much! We are still just controllers now, and we haven't even reached the end of our current evolutionary path."
"The continuation of human civilization and the development of the evolutionary path are things we should consider after we reach the end of the evolutionary path."
"It's not certain whether we can become martial gods now!"
"Practice hard! Become a martial god first, then consider other things!"
"Chu Zhou's words are rough but true! It's true that we are still far away from becoming martial gods! There are some issues that we shouldn't consider." Bai Changming also laughed.
Ye Yun and Luo Yue also burst out laughing.
yes!
They are just mere controllers, and now they are considering issues that at least a Martial God should consider.
Do you think too highly of yourself?
At this time, Xie Longyuan, Dongfang Mingzhu, Yang Zhenzhen and others also came over. After looking at the four murals, they were also shocked.
"So, the ancient humans who left behind these relics took the path of mechanized evolution? No wonder they left behind such a huge steel city."
Xie Longyuan and others expressed their feelings.
Just then, a huge vibration was heard.
Chu Zhou and the others were startled and looked in the direction where the sound came from. They immediately saw robots several meters tall rushing towards them from the city like a tide.
On the surface, these robots appear to be of very crude workmanship.
The head is a round iron ball.
The body is like an iron barrel.
There are also two mechanized arms and thighs.
In terms of aesthetics, these robots cannot be compared with those robots in movies and TV shows with complex and sophisticated structures. They are more like inferior products pieced together with simple mechanical components.
But Chu Zhou and others felt a sense of crisis from these mechanical armies.
"No, these are not robots... They have mental fluctuations!"
Chu Zhou and others' expressions suddenly changed.
As the tidal army of robots approached, they all clearly felt a slight spiritual fluctuation emanating from each robot.
Chu Zhou and the others all understood that machines had no spiritual fluctuations.
Only real living things have mental fluctuations.
In other words, what appeared before them was not so much a robot... as a mechanical creature!
"Could it be that the ancient humans succeeded? All of them were transformed into mechanical creatures?"
Chu Zhou and the others looked at each other, feeling a little horrified.
If the ancient humans really succeeded, then they would no longer be humans... but a completely new species, mechanical creatures.
“@#￥％……&@!”
A mysterious and ancient electronic synthesized sound suddenly rang out in this steel city.
The mechanical creatures that surged towards Chu Zhou and the others like a tide, their electronic eyes all flashed red, and then they launched attacks on Chu Zhou and the others.
The next moment, a large number of mechanical creatures fired out dark red plasma balls that flashed with electric light.
Densely packed basketball-sized plasma balls enveloped Chu Zhou and the others.
Chu Zhou punched casually and shattered a plasma ball. A trace of red electric current spread to his arm, giving him a slight numbness and tingling sensation.
"It's roughly comparable to the attack strength of a peak awakener... but it can't threaten us."
"But if you get hit too many times, it's hard to say."
Chu Zhou said calmly, and immediately used the Phantom Body Technique to rush towards the army of mechanical creatures.
Every step he took left a realistic afterimage, and he perfectly dodged all the plasma balls flying towards him.
Soon, he appeared in front of a mechanical creature.
"boom!"
He punched a mechanical creature hard, breaking it into countless parts.
A white crystal the size of a grain of rice flew in all directions along with countless parts.
Chu Zhou grabbed the white crystal in his right hand with a lightning speed.
He felt a very faint spiritual fluctuation from the white crystal.
"Could this crystal be the condensation of the spirit of ancient humans?"
As a spiritualist who has already condensed spiritual relics, Chu Zhou instantly associated many things with the moment he saw the white crystal.
He wrapped the white crystal with his mental power and immediately confirmed his guess.
This white crystal is indeed the condensation of spirit.
But there seems to be no consciousness among them.
There was only a single, extremely weak signal.
Chu Zhou didn’t know how ancient humans engraved this single signal into the white crystal, but he realized that this white crystal was a good thing.
This white spiritual condensate is extremely pure, and apart from that single signal, there are no other spiritual distractions.
It seemed that as long as he eliminated the single signal, he could directly absorb the white crystal and increase his mental power.
“This is good stuff!”
Chu Zhou's eyes lit up.
The next moment, he completely let go of his hands and feet, and his whole body turned into a series of afterimages, blasting the mechanical creatures into pieces, and then collected all the white crystals.
Xie Longyuan and others had been staring at Chu Zhou since he started to take action.
They watched all of Chu Zhou's actions.
When they saw Chu Zhou continuously smashing the mechanical creatures and then collecting the white crystals, their eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.
We are not stupid.
I immediately knew that the white crystal was probably something precious.
As a psychic, Luo Yue guessed what the white crystal was the first time he saw it.
She directly used a flying knife to shoot a mechanical creature from a distance, and then sucked a white crystal into her hand.
"This... this is actually a condensed form of spirit!"
"Moreover, there is no messy consciousness in it. After removing the single signal, it can be absorbed and increase mental strength."
Luo Yue said this in shock, as if he had discovered an incredible treasure. He impatiently dodged the plasma balls and rushed towards the army of mechanical creatures.
It seemed as if it was afraid that Chu Zhou would kill all the mechanical creatures in advance and take away all the white crystals.
"That white crystal can actually increase mental strength?"
Sister Dao, Xie Longyuan, Bai Changming and the others were startled and rushed towards the mechanical creatures.
Although they are not spiritualists...
But it doesn't mean that they have no mental strength.
It does not mean that strengthening their mental strength will not be beneficial to them.
Therefore, they would never miss this opportunity to quickly strengthen their spiritual power.
