Chapter 253 The Past of Cretaceous Civilization

"Civilizations 65 million years ago? How did they leave traces behind?" Sai wondered, this time period is too long.

"On the one hand, there are traces of some industrial activities, and on the other hand, there are carvings on stones. Moreover, this super civilization was born 65 million years ago, but they became extinct only a few million years ago."

"The luckiest thing is that they have an extremely long history. Due to faults caused by various disasters, this civilization has existed for tens of millions of years, and this civilization finally established a museum on Pluto.

"The intelligent creatures in this museum have used hibernation technology to perform a lot of maintenance on the museum over hundreds of thousands of years, and even established a very small civilization, allowing the museum to preserve as much important information as possible."

"Does this mean that in World No. 3, a civilization composed of another intelligent species coexisted with humans for a period of time?" Sai asked curiously.

"Maybe, the materials of that civilization did not mention humans on a large scale, or the important materials they left behind did not mention humans. We speculate that humans had not yet developed at that time."

"And to be precise, it is not one intelligent species. This civilization is composed of two intelligent species. Because these two intelligent creatures have certain flaws, they formed a symbiotic relationship." The President of the Solar System Fleet said.

"Ah?" Sai was confused after hearing this. Is it okay for two intelligent species to form a civilization?

Then the President of the Solar System Fleet and Sai talked about the birth process of this civilization. To be precise, they were an interdependent civilization of dinosaurs and ants.

The two species formed a symbiotic relationship by chance. The ants helped the dinosaurs do some fine work, and the dinosaurs provided materials and knowledge to the ants.

Together they created the Cretaceous civilization. Although they also encountered the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs, they still survived and gradually developed civilization.

But the Cretaceous civilization was just as unlucky as the humans on World 3, because when they developed into the information age, they encountered a solar storm.

This solar storm destroyed the Cretaceous civilization on Earth. Subsequently, the Cretaceous civilization on Earth became extinct more than a dozen times in 40 million years due to the aftermath of solar storms.

But luckily, these Cretaceous civilizations all terraformed Mars to a certain extent, and during the last destruction, there were actually Martian colonies that survived on Mars.

Subsequently, the Cretaceous civilization on Mars took millions of years to develop with great difficulty, transforming Mars into the same state as the Earth, and restarted the large-scale development of near-Earth space.

However, the Cretaceous civilization once again faced a catastrophe, that is, Mars encountered a meteorite, and this meteorite was larger than during the Cretaceous period, which directly destroyed the Martian ecosystem.

This could be said to be a catastrophe for the Cretaceous civilization, but they had a colony ship on the moon at the time, and that colony ship was not destroyed.

Fortunately, the Cretaceous civilization left a lot of legacy this time, and it took 50,000 years to restore the past technological level. However, because the lunar environment is relatively harsh, their political system is similar to that of the Trisolarans.

This resulted in the Cretaceous civilization’s ideas being curbed and its science and technology developing slowly. In many cases, there were no major technological breakthroughs or social changes for thousands of years.

Later, they encountered several rounds of major blows, but these attacks did not cause a civilizational break, and there is no possibility of a break in space, because they cannot survive after a space break.

But this also prevented the Cretaceous civilization from making any technological breakthroughs for millions of years, but they discovered that solar storms could not affect Saturn over there.

Therefore, the Cretaceous civilization proposed a plan similar to the bunker plan, and began to shift the focus of civilization to building giant colonial ships, which migrated to Saturn within hundreds of thousands of years.

After hearing this, Sai felt a little sympathetic to the Cretaceous civilization. What evil had they done to be able to alternate between destruction and rebirth so frequently? It was comparable to the tragedy of the Trisolaran civilization.

However, after hearing this, Say was also a little curious as to why it took this civilization tens of thousands of years to migrate to Saturn.

You must know that it only took humans two centuries to turn Jupiter and Saturn into their own backyard.

"Because the Cretaceous civilization used bulky working medium fusion engines, its spacecraft was not equipped with an ecological cycle system, and they have never been able to develop fusion technology. They mainly rely on solar energy and nuclear fission energy to survive," the president of the Solar System Fleet explained.

road.

With such backward technology, if you want to colonize Saturn from the moon on a large scale, you are courting death. Most of the spacecraft seem to have died on the road and on the way to colonize Saturn, so it took so long.

After immigrating to Saturn, they spent more than 100,000 years rebuilding civilization, and finally managed to gain a foothold on Saturn. They raised their technological level to the level of humans in the middle of the Crisis Era, and built dozens of space cities.

However, after Saturn rebuilt a stable civilization, the Cretaceous civilization seemed to usher in a technological explosion. Of course, it was not as good as the technological explosion of human civilization, but relatively speaking, its previous level was very fast.

In the following tens of thousands of years, the Cretaceous civilization developed to the current technological level of mankind. They seemed to have developed the entire solar system and established huge cities on eight planets and in space.

At that time, the four Earth-like planets were their mining sites, the four Jupiter-like planets were their fuel depots, and the industrial bases and economic centers were located in the bustling space cities.

Tens of thousands of years later, the Cretaceous civilization experienced lows and highs. Their scientific level even approached that of the Trisolaran civilization, and even the sophon project was gradually proposed.

But unlike the Trisolaran civilization, because the solar system was too rich in resources, the Cretaceous civilization had little desire to expand, so they did not expand in the following time.

"What happened next? Since they were so advanced, did they try to leave the solar system?" Sai asked curiously.

Since the technological level of the Cretaceous civilization is no less than that of the Trisolaran civilization, it should not be difficult for them to accelerate the spacecraft to one-fifth of the speed of light. This civilization should have the desire to expand outward.

"According to data, they have launched unmanned probes, but the probes mysteriously disappeared after leaving the Kuiper Belt, so the Cretaceous civilization gave up its external expansion," explained the President of the Solar System Fleet.

"Strange disappearance? Oh, yes, those detectors probably returned to the main world." Sai thought of this feature of the parallel universe, which is that it is only as large as dozens of astronomical units.

"As for what happened next, we are still interpreting the information in the Cretaceous Civilization Museum, and we don't know what happened next." said the President of the Solar System Fleet.
