"This story of the prince's escape is more like an overall summary of the past history of the entire Xi Queen Mother clan.
The Queen Mother of the West clan, who narrowly survived the apocalyptic natural disasters of the fourth civilization, encountered various difficulties and obstacles along the way, and finally settled in Kunlun Mountain.
The depiction of followers turning into monsters is probably just the experience of some personnel seizing power.
You must know that with the outbreak of the apocalypse, the entire official system will collapse in an instant. Although the prince is still called a prince in this team, his status as leader is actually in name only.
As long as there are ambitious people in the team who want to seize power, it will be very simple. It will just be an ordinary internal brawl.
As for the most powerful warrior turning the tide, those who can survive are naturally the most powerful warriors. This is determined by the law of the winner.
As for quickly rebuilding a city after entering deep mountains and dense forests, this is related to the high technology mastered by the Queen Mother of the West, and the most important cloning technology.
As long as there are a large number of cannon fodder slaves, no matter how few upper-level rulers there are, this is still a city. "
Jiang Yingxue reinterpreted this story from the perspective of the president of his own group. The old order was established under the general environment. As the general environment changes, some people with ulterior motives will naturally come out to fight for power. This is the basic Human nature dictates it.
As for whether it was the original prince who finally walked into the mountains, it actually didn't matter anymore.
“Such an overall interpretation partially combines our current overall guesses about the Xiwangmu clan, which makes some sense, but is incomplete.
It is inaccurate to simply attribute the changes in the team to the active rebellion of internal personnel.
Natural disasters and great floods in the last days. No one knows what is mixed in these floods.
Furthermore, the descriptions of these mutation phenomena appear to be very realistic, and the appearance of each mutation is different. This cannot be generally interpreted as rebellion.
If these mutations are not an exaggerated depiction, then this mutation is likely to be related to genetic technology.
Even more serious speculation is that this is a contagious genetic virus.
The prince's kingdom was destroyed probably because of the outbreak of this genetic virus. "
Jiang Yingxue originally just wanted to throw some light on things, but she didn't expect Bai Ning to come up with such a surprising conclusion.
genetic virus.
This is something that only exists in science fiction. Due to the outbreak of a special man-made virus, mankind has fallen into a zombie crisis. In the end, the entire civilization was wiped out in this huge catastrophe.
If what destroys the fourth civilization turns out to be a genetic virus sweeping the world, this may be more terrifying than the so-called flood.
"A genetic virus?
Is it a mutation that can cause the cells of the human body to mutate, resulting in some functional differences?
Does this kind of thing seem too science fiction?
If the Queen Mother of the West retains such an ancient virus, wouldn’t our current actions bring huge instability to the world? "
Jiang Yingxue's response was somewhat disapproving and casual, as if she was having a routine discussion with Bai Ning.
She was not interested in the conclusion of the discussion, but wanted to use the discussion process to highlight the absurdity of this assumption.
"It's just some basic assumptions, there's no need to show too much resistance.
Furthermore, if the world was once destroyed by a biochemical virus, then we, the descendants of the survivors, must be the lucky ones with natural antibodies to the virus.
Even if such a virus breaks out again, to us humans, it will be just a minor cold that is not painful or itchy.
My guess about the genetic virus is just to expand on the Queen Mother of the West's ability to control the plague to a certain extent.
For the study of genes, compared to animals with large cell clusters, it is obviously easier to see the effects of gene rewriting on organisms like viruses that are tiny and have simple genetic structures.
In addition, compared to using nucleases for gene editing, it seems to be much more convenient to use tiny organisms like viruses to act as microrobots to edit genetic structures.
We don’t know how powerful the genetic technology of the Fourth Civilization is. In the process of creating gene-editing viruses, they will accidentally create a virus that can cause human body mutation. This seems to be within the probability range. within. "
Regarding the possibility of genetic viruses, Bai Ning had already had similar ideas. This idea was quite consistent with the current clues, so Bai Ning told it.
If the scene depicted in this serial mural is true in terms of the description of the human body mutating into a monster, then the possibility that Bai Ning is currently envisioning may really be the fundamental reason for the demise of the fourth civilization. .
Those who are good at riding will fall, and those who are good at swimming will be drowned. Technology is always a double-edged sword.
The development of society requires high technology, but if high technology is used to destroy businesses, then its harm to human society will also be huge.
Even if no one wants to deliberately harm humans, some wrong coincidences, with the blessing of powerful technology, can make humans pay a huge price.
For example, nuclear energy is used to generate electricity. This is the correct scenario for the application of nuclear energy. However, due to various natural and man-made disasters, nuclear leakage accidents occur all over the world.
"According to your statement, the great flood that led to the extinction of the fourth civilization should be the apocalyptic natural disaster virus code-named 'Flood'."
The apocalyptic disaster virus that Bai Ning said was alarmist enough and could not be denied in theory, but for Jiang Yingxue, she still regarded it as a movie subject.
Among the various viruses currently circulating in the world, the ones that pose the greatest threat to humans are all viruses that specifically attack human immune cells, or attack important organs of the human body, such as the lungs, kidneys, etc.
Just looking at the attack methods of these viruses, it seems that they are specially designed to kill humans.
However, the relationship between viruses and the human body is actually a weak parasitism. If the host dies, the virus will also rot in place because it loses its transmission route.
Therefore, in essence, a highly lethal virus will cause devastating death in a local area. It will also lead to a sharp decrease in the number of hosts that continue to spread the virus. Seriously ill hosts do not have the physical strength to walk long distances, so they cannot cover a large area. spread.
Only viruses with a long incubation period and a low fatality rate have the possibility of widespread infection.
In a society with highly advanced technology, a virus wants to exterminate the entire human race. This is a complete mockery of the advanced medical level of this civilization.
"There is a possibility of a world-killing virus.
However, this is only one possibility.
Just like the incredible natural disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, it is said that it was caused by a huge comet hitting the earth.
The casualties caused by the comet impact, whether it was direct destruction or the huge earthquakes and floods caused by the comet, had a minimal impact on the dinosaurs.
The most critical thing is that the smoke and dust stirred up by the comet and the volcanic activity caused by the violent impact caused the stratosphere to be obscured by the smoke and dust, resulting in a huge disaster similar to nuclear winter.
In other words, what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was actually the global low temperature and the famine caused by the reduction of photosynthesis.
Similarly, after the Fourth Civilization was destroyed by the great flood, the entire human social structure fell apart in an instant. Various genetic research hidden in the dark will also be spread into human society because of this chaos.
Virus-related research may not have any problems under the checks and balances of advanced technological civilization, but in a social structure that is close to collapse, the threat will inevitably be great.
Just like today, once humans experience a major flood that sweeps the world, even if the tide gradually recedes, the time required to rebuild after the disaster is still measured in years.
At this time, smallpox virus, Black Death, cholera, avian influenza, new coronavirus pneumonia, and viral hepatitis suddenly broke out. Do you think human society can still handle it?
Doomsday natural disasters are never a single form of disaster, but a systemic disaster system. "
Bai Ning understood what Jiang Yingxue meant and gave an expanded explanation. This statement was undoubtedly shocking.
The reason why human society is strong is entirely because of its sound system. But if this complete system is destroyed in the initial destruction, then no matter how many humans there are, it will only be a piece of scattered sand. No matter how many high-quality talents there are, there will be no high-tech equipment at hand. , just like a toothless tiger.
Similarly, there is also the human war system.
No matter how strong a country's apparent military strength is, it will be quickly depleted in a constant war of attrition. At this time, what is actually being fought is a country's industrial base, resource base, and population base.
Without a vast land area, rich natural resources, a strong industrial system, and a large population support, it will definitely fall into a weak state in the later stages of the war, and then fall into final collapse.
"So, does it appear that what is depicted in these murals is really a virus that can mutate people?
So, in this mausoleum, are the virus crises we have experienced before also this kind of virus? "
This problem seems very serious. If they really release such a virus that can destroy the world because of their recklessness, even if their humans have the corresponding antibodies, a large number of people will be killed and injured in the early stages of the outbreak.
“I don’t think so.
A virus that has caused great harm to the Xiwangmu clan is something that normal people are afraid to avoid. How can they possibly save it?
The virus disaster here is obviously the type that the Xiwangmu clan can control. "
Professor Huang, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly spoke, interrupting the discussion between the two.
Obviously, this discussion between them may have some practical significance, but it is indeed of no benefit to the current predicament.
If you want to break the situation, you have to continue digging into the details.
