The paper dragon did not hover in the sky for too long. It flashed in front of everyone and shrank back to its original length of just over one meter. The small paper dragon returned to the ground and swam around Yun Ming, being particularly obedient.
A fist-sized paper crane flapped its wings, trying to stay away from the paper dragon, but because Yun Ming wouldn't let it fly out of the compartment, the paper crane could only hide in the corner as much as possible.
This paper crane was an experiment. Yun Ming spent a few minutes making it before making the paper dragon. The purpose was to test the creator's control over the origami creatures.
"Well, that's enough, I've completely figured out the control mechanism." Yun Ming waved, and the paper crane reluctantly flew into his hand. Although it is afraid of the paper dragon, it cannot disobey Yun Ming's orders.
"After the paper creatures are given life, they will obey the orders of the maker, similar to the relationship between an owner and a pet. This relationship is very strong and cannot be resisted by the instinct of living things. Look how scared this paper crane is .”
"But the way the paper people's population grows is by folding paper people, right?" Bai Fei thought thoughtfully: "According to your statement, aren't the new paper people giving advice to the old paper people?"
"It makes sense," Yun Ming agreed with Bai Fei's words: "But this relationship can be terminated unilaterally by the producer, just like this." He did nothing, but Qianzhihe was like a giant, and disappeared in a flash. flew away.
"It seems that this is how paper people and wild paper animals came to be. By the way, don't let the paper dragon go wild. No one knows what an uncontrolled dragon will do."
"OK."
At this moment, the paper door of the cubicle was opened three times, and a familiar voice came from outside: "You two, can you please open the door?"
The paper door was a Japanese-style sliding door and was not locked at all. Yun Ming opened it and said, "Oh, what's the matter?"
The person outside the door is none other than the paper man who led the way before.
"Well... something does happen, but let this old gentleman tell you." The little brother pointed at the old paper man behind him.
"I'm Zhi Ban, the elder of the Paper Human Race," Zhi Ban cupped his hands and said, "Welcome the two guests who have come from afar."
"Ah? Chief... elder?" When the little brother who led the way heard this, his face turned pale with fright (in fact, the whole body of the paper man was white). A group of people came to the registration office just now, saying they were looking for the two foreign tourists, so he brought them to Yun Ming's place. He could tell that these people were officials, but he didn't expect them to be of such high rank.
Zhiban's next sentence shocked him even more:
"The king of our country, Zhi Aotian, would like to meet you two."
Received by the king? Why? The paper man was puzzled until he saw the paper dragon dangling behind Yun Ming and Bai Fei.
"Okay," Yun Ming's smile was just right, harmless to humans and animals, and it was completely impossible to tell that a few minutes ago he had the intention of destroying the entire clan: "I'd like to ask Elder Zhi to introduce me."
"I didn't expect that the first time I sat in a stretched luxury car in my life was in a game," Yun Ming lay down on the seat: "Although it is made of paper, it still feels very good."
"Yeah." Bai Fei vaguely agreed. She was kind-hearted and didn't tell Yun Ming that she often rode in this kind of car.
The two of them were sitting in an extended car made of paper. Zhi Ban took them to the palace of the Paper Man Kingdom. Zhi Aotian and other elders had already gone there to prepare.
"How are you sure the king will receive us?" There were only Yun Ming and Bai Fei in the spacious carriage, so they didn't have to worry too much about chatting.
"I'm not sure," Yun Ming told the truth: "My original plan was to rely on my dual identity as a paper dragon maker and a foreigner to ask for an audience with Zhi Aotian. Now that he has taken the initiative to come to the door, it saves us a lot. thing."
"But is there really no problem with Zhi Aotian's invitation?" Bai Fei was inexplicably worried.
"Of course there are problems. Let's not talk about Zhi Aotian, this Origami Star is full of problems."
"Tell me."
Yun Ming counted on his fingers: "First, geography."
"Xiaobai, you are from Maple Leaf County, so you may not know it, but I can feel it: the climate of this Paper Man Country is similar to the climate of the south of Long County where I live."
"Today is the Green Grass Day of the Windmill Moon. We confirmed with the museum staff at the History Museum that the Windmill Moon corresponds to June on Earth. Today's temperature and humidity on Origami Planet are almost the same as the city where I actually live in June. Exactly the same physical sensation.”
"The southern part of Long County is dominated by a subtropical monsoon climate. The main characteristics of this climate are: high temperature and rain in summer, and mild and little rain in winter."
"The subtropical monsoon climate in Long County is very suitable for human habitation, but it is quite unfriendly to a race like Paperman who is afraid of rain and humidity."
"So it's very strange, isn't it? First of all, why do the Papermen choose a place with this type of climate to establish a country and a clan when they are so unhappy with themselves? Tropical desert climate areas are the most suitable for their lives, right?"
"Secondly, climate is something that logically shouldn't exist. For example, the subtropical monsoon climate is formed because it is located near the Tropic of Cancer, forming a subtropical climate; because of the difference in thermal properties between sea and land and being located in the coastal area, summer is affected by the difference in temperature between sea and land. Influenced by the southeast wind, the cold wind from Siberia blows the northwest wind in winter. The two take turns to control, and the seasons alternate, forming the monsoon."
"This is the reason for the formation of the subtropical monsoon climate on the earth. But the Origami Star has no conditions to form it at all, because the entire planet is made of paper, there is no water, and there is no sea. Rain should not exist on this planet, but according to the commentator, According to the introduction, the paper man is afraid of getting wet, which proves that it will rain here."
"It doesn't make sense. This completely conflicts with the theory."
Bai Fei praised sincerely: "Let's not mention that you actually thought of such partial details. It's amazing that you can still remember junior high school geography knowledge."
Yun Ming was very impressed, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Second, humanities."
"Looking at the origin of myths, myths are the product of human beliefs. Primitive people had extremely poor knowledge. They had not yet mastered the laws of nature and had not yet become the masters of nature. Instead, they were slaves prostrate in front of nature. They were In the era of primitive gathering economy and fishing and hunting economy, they lived entirely on naturally occurring wild fruits, vegetables, fish, and wild beasts. The supply of these foods was often very uncertain. In the face of powerful natural phenomena, primitive people felt that their production They need God's help. Therefore, before setting out to collect and produce food, they often pray to God and ask for God's blessing to obtain more food. This is an effort to improve life and production. .”
"In this way, the earliest gods were produced in production. Since they were produced in production, then the earliest gods must be natural gods. Those flowers, plants, trees, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and hills are all them. Object of worship.”
Bai Fei raised her eyebrows: "You mean, according to the human race's physiological structure of not eating or drinking, there shouldn't be myths?"
Yun Ming nodded: "The paper people only have one myth about the Creator. This legend is a very thin independent story and does not form a mythological system, such as the gods in Greek mythology and the immortals in the Yanhuang culture."
"Doesn't this correspond to what you said before?" Bai Fei was very puzzled: "Because Origami Planet has no natural landscape, it can be said that there is no natural god."
"It's okay without the Mountain God and Sea King, but it's not okay without the Feng Boyu Master." Yun Ming explained.
"Yes."
"So, what I feel about this planet is two words: disharmony. It doesn't even have a complete system of gods, but it still believes in the Creator's settings that sound ridiculous at first glance; the star planet is all made of paper. , it’s windy and rainy, but there are a lot of them. "Conquer the World" will not generate a virtual universe with so many bugs."
"In addition to your previous analysis about the imagination of the Papermen and the statues that should not exist, this world is indeed full of doubts." Bai Fei followed Yun Ming's thinking: "There must be hidden worldviews, but the existing The clues are not connected, and we don’t know the truth yet.”
"Didn't the system already remind us of the missing part in the evidence chain?" Yun Ming was very sure.
"When?" Bai Fei recalled to no avail.
"It's the sculpture on the Sage Square. The statues of emperors in the past, including Zhi Aotian, whom we are going to see later, all have faces that look like the plaster lines of our world."
"I read the introduction under the sculpture: Agliba was the first paper-human patriarch to fold plants, and Seneca was the first to fold animals; then there was Venus, who developed the origami machine, making The paper people freed their hands and could produce origami through machines; finally, Apollo and Mamoru folded and improved the engine one after another."
"We don't care about the first two, let's just talk about the last three: the so-called origami machine should correspond to the Jenny textile machine that marked the beginning of mankind's first industrial revolution. And the inventor, Venus, is the goddess of love and beauty in Roman mythology .”
"Apollo, the sun god, is in charge of light and fire, and he broke out the engine; Xiao Wei, there is nothing to say. The reason why he can be set by the system as the improver of the engine is probably because in history, this person is said to be very handsome. Come to what is known as the ‘Apollo of the New Athens’.”
"The God of Beauty invented the textile loom, the God of the Sun made the engine, and the Paper Aotian with the face of David is said to have folded a spaceship."
"Spaceships can give people the ability to enter space and travel long distances among the stars; and the statue of David represents exactly that - power."
Bai Fei made sense: "I understand, the sages in the history of the paper people correspond to the scientists in several industrial revolutions of mankind. The system deliberately uses plaster heads to let players distinguish them from ordinary paper people. "
"Yes," Yun Ming snapped his fingers: "Ordinary paper people, even the elders of the paper people we just met, all look similar, except for the few in the Sage Square who "led the new era of the paper people" are different. .”
"And Zhi Aotian is obviously with those guys, he is the last link in the evidence chain."
"Let's go have a good chat with His Majesty the King. I have a hunch that we are not far from the truth about this planet."
