It seems that the frequent cold waves a while ago have exhausted the cold energy of winter. Since Zhu Jue was "transported" to [Bun City], it has been sunny for several days in a row.
Zhu Jue didn't pay special attention to the good weather. In the past few days, he had almost buried himself in research, never seeing the light of day.
Ever since he determined his location on the day of the "transmission", Zhu Jue had a vague feeling. He returned to the location of the communicator, fumbled around, and found that this was indeed the location of the Skull Stone, and the communicator happened to be attached to the back of the Skull Stone's head.
Without lights or night vision, Zhu Jue just groped with his tentacles and re-recorded the various symbols and announcements engraved on the skull stone into his mind, although he couldn't explain why he did this.
Pythagorean theorem, DNA double helix structure, benzene ring, periodic table of chemical elements, electron cloud diagram, solar system star map...
Zhu Jue had seen these formulas or patterns before. He was surprised for a while, but then put them behind him. At that time, Zhu Jue had no need for this knowledge. At that time, this knowledge was not as useful as a ballista.
At this time, he came into contact with the skull stone again. After careful exploration, Zhu Jue discovered more meaningful formulas or patterns. Many of them he had not known before, but at this time, some knowledge seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he quickly recalled:
X=γ(x-ut), Y=y, Z=z, T=γ(t-uxc^2).
This is the formula of special relativity. Special relativity is a new theory of flat space-time that is different from Newton's theory of space-time.
Gab=8πTab
This is the formula of general relativity. General relativity is a theory that describes the gravitational interaction between matter. This theory explains the gravitational field as the curvature of space-time for the first time.
In addition, there are some mathematical formulas representing calculus, Euler's equation, etc., as well as a large number of patterns with various meanings. Only the patterns that Zhu Jue can recognize cover different fields such as astronomy, geography, meteorology, biology, religion, etc. .
Such a skull stone is placed here, as if it is the last remnant of extinguished human civilization, trying to retain the fire of civilization and pass it on to the next civilization.
Zhu Jue thought sadly that maybe he was the only being in this world who could recognize these traces of civilization...
He still doesn't know the true meaning of the existence of this skull stone, but he feels that his guess is reasonable. Zhu Jue has been eagerly carving all kinds of knowledge on the skull stone into his mind for days, no matter what he currently knows or doesn't know. Whether you understand it or not, whether you have heard of it or not, just memorize it all.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the Ant Alliance and the Civilized Ant Alliance, the parasitic life and the Destroyer, the crisis of annihilation, and the purpose of being "transported".
Or, there is no purpose at all, the time is just the superposition of various coincidences, and the so-called cause and effect is just the attachment of the later narrator. And now, the pursuit of knowledge and the secrets behind knowledge is the only meaning of Zhu Jue!

Outside the nest, the winter sun was still shining brightly, making the clear sky even brighter under the reflection of the white snow.
The sun gradually sets, and the moon that has already risen continues to shine on the earth, giving the world a sheen as thin as silver gauze.
The sun and moon rotated twice, and the [Bun City] under the white snow seemed to be still, forgotten in the long river of time, and seemed to have remained unchanged forever.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, a small figure broke the "eternal" silence.
Zhu Jue got out of [Bun City]. It was not that he had already understood something. It was only after he had forgotten all about sleep and food that he suddenly realized that this body now needs energy.
Since Zhu Jue's consciousness was imposed on this body, the connection between his consciousness and his body was not as close as his previous body, and some of his instincts were weakened. Zhu Jue didn't wake up until the body was so hungry that he almost starved to death!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue felt hungry and thirsty. He searched the entire nest but found nothing - it was a completely empty nest, with no living creatures and no food.
Zhu Jue had no choice but to crawl outdoors and swallow a cold snow seed first to replenish his water. As the snow seed went down, a cold feeling temporarily suppressed his burning hunger.
But it was just suppression. Through consciousness exploration, Zhu Jue knew that this body had been squeezing a lot of brain power in the past two days. This was an extremely energy-consuming behavior. If the energy was not replenished, I was afraid that this body would not be able to support it for long.
The parasitic creature was "transported" to him here without considering the logistics supply. Zhu Jue found nothing in the nest and could only try his luck in the wild.
Food is not actually scarce in winter, but it is difficult for creatures in this world to break through the cold barrier and come out to find food.
Zhu Jue soon discovered a bush near [Bun City]. This was a bush of honeysuckle, also called honeysuckle.
At this time, small ruby-like fruits were hanging on the long branches. They looked delicate and delicious, attracting Zhu Jue's attention.
But Zhu Jue knew that these beautiful-looking little fruits were actually slightly bitter and not delicious. In previous winters, the pavement ants in the Ant Alliance collected these fruits and dried them to supplement their food in winter. However, the ants were not willing to eat these unpleasant-tasting dried fruits until they were the hungriest. .
In addition, these honeysuckle fruits are also natural herbs, which have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
Zhu Jue could no longer care about the taste. Although it tasted bitter, there was still a lot of sugar in the honeysuckle fruit. For Zhu Jue, who was so hungry, he had no choice.
After eating half of the fruit, Zhu Jue unexpectedly discovered that these honeysuckle fruits were much sweeter than expected, and the bitterness was not obvious. I don't know if it's because these fruits have been completely ripe and sweet on the tree, or if it's just that Zhu Jue is hungry.
After eating, Zhu Jue picked some honeysuckle fruits and threw them on the hills of [Bun City], letting the sun slowly dry these fruits as a food reserve for the future. This way he doesn't have to crawl out all the way to the honeysuckle bush every time to look for food.
Later, Zhu Jue returned to the dark skull stone and continued to tirelessly record all the patterns on it in the dark, like the only inheritor of the fire of civilization.
There was silence in the dark lair, only Zhu Jue's occasional noises echoed, like echoes floating in the abyss of history that lasted thousands of years...
————
On this day, Zhu Jue finally wrote down the last pattern on the surface of the skull stone. At this time, he lay on the eye socket of the lifelike skull stone, thoughtfully...
