Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 175 Accident
"It's possible that half a million years ago there existed a civilization that was very different from ours, yet equally prosperous and flourishing. It's always fascinating to think about it."

Jiang Chun moved closer to the glass and looked at the spots on the coffin, his eyes full of obsession.

When he thought that this coffin was a product from hundreds of thousands of years ago, he felt as if he had crossed endless time and space and had close contact with the humans of that era.

But he felt a little strange.

If this coffin is really a product of hundreds of thousands of years ago, it means that the culture of that era is very similar to the current culture, but this is too incredible.

Today's civilization was rebuilt from nothing.

Thinking of this, he told his confusion to the man in the white coat.

"The fact that you were able to think of this shows that you are quite perceptive in archaeology."

"Yes, that's right. This is an archaeological hypothesis that has become very popular in recent years: the theory of world consciousness."

"A large number of scholars believe that our world has self-awareness. This awareness does not mean that it possesses its own wisdom and thinking, but rather a vast spirituality close to instinct."

"He directs all operations of heaven and earth. Precisely because of the existence of this world consciousness, the development of all civilizations tends to converge. He will unconsciously guide civilizations towards the direction that He is most adapted to."

"This school of thought even believes that people in prehistoric times were highly similar to modern humans in appearance, language and civilization."

The man in the white coat explained slowly, and Jiang Chun listened with fascination.

"Of course, these are things you won't learn until you go to college, so it's best to just learn the basics now."

He smiled and patted Jiang Chun on the shoulder.

It was rare to meet a child who was so obsessed with archaeology, so he said a few more words.

"Then...has this coffin been opened?"

Jiang Chun became even more curious. If there were still traces of humans from the previous era inside the coffin, it would undoubtedly be a huge discovery for today's archaeological community.

"not yet."

"Not only is this coffin made of extremely hard material, it remains sturdy even after hundreds of thousands of years of wind and frost. Most importantly, we detected a high-energy reaction inside, at least equivalent to the power of a current upper third level being. We dare not open it rashly."

"So, today we are going to load this coffin onto a truck and send it to the research institute in the imperial capital."

"Just pay more attention to recent archaeological news. You might find a big discovery there."

The man in the white coat laughed loudly, then called a group of staff to hang up the entire glass house, put it into a container, and then prepare to transport it to the imperial capital by airship.

Jiang Chun nodded secretly. Although his own strength was not good enough, if he could make an archaeological discovery of the same level in the future, he would also be famous in history.

……

"Jiang Chun, you're too picky. What's so good about those broken stones?"

Although Jiang Chun's strength was not very good, his best friend Chen Yuhu had the highest level of cultivation in the class. As early as when he was fifteen years old, his physical body had been polished to perfection and he had stepped into the [Ming Qi].

He has even reached the middle stage of [Ming Qi] cultivation now, and is expected to reach the late stage before the high school entrance examination.

"You do not understand."

Jiang Chun was used to Chen Yuhu's carefree attitude, but he was too lazy to explain.

Because he had explained the charm of archaeology many times in the past, but Chen Yuhu simply couldn't understand it.

"Yes, yes, you know best." "But archaeology isn't as interesting as spiritual practice. When I get into a key university, I'll feed you [High Energy Liquid] every day and turn you into a spiritual practitioner. Once you've experienced the joy of spiritual practice, you won't be staring at these broken stones all day long."

Chen Yuhu rolled his eyes and curled his lips.

Although his tone was sarcastic, Jiang Chun felt warm in his heart.

Because Chen Yuhu just didn't want to be unable to practice cultivation for his entire life. In this world, practitioners are the best of the best, and are superior to others.

Even legally, there are many preferential treatments for high-level practitioners.

"Now, an urgent news item. A cargo airship bound for the imperial capital exploded for no apparent reason, resulting in 32 casualties. All the archaeological artifacts being transported are missing. The cause of the accident is still under investigation..."

When they passed by a store, they found that the news channel on the store's TV suddenly flickered, and a picture of the wreckage of a burned airship popped up.

"An airship transporting archaeological artifacts to the imperial capital..."

Jiang Chun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be the airship that transported the coffin this morning?

No, this is too coincidental.

"I've been saying this for a long time. Things these days are all shoddy. They're nothing compared to when we were young. An electric fan could last for decades, but these days they break down after just a few years."

The shop owner nearby was also attracted by the news and couldn't help but say a few words.

Jiang Chun still felt a little complicated and felt it was a pity. He didn't know what was in the coffin. If the remains of prehistoric humans could be found, it would be the biggest archaeological discovery in recent decades.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chun and Chen Yuhu parted ways at the corner of the street. Although their two families were not far apart, they still had to cross a street to separate.

"Hey……"

Jiang Chun was heading towards home. He had only taken a few steps when suddenly, an illusion seemed to appear in front of him. A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The clothes on this person are very strange, somewhat similar to ancient costumes, but Jiang Chun is very knowledgeable about history and knows that this is definitely not a style from any ancient period.

Could it be some patchwork photo studio style? He hated this thing the most.

However, what frightened him was not the clothes the man was wearing, but his appearance.

The opponent looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin, looking like a mummy that had come to life. At the same time, his back was arched, and his limbs were long and thin, hanging down to his knees.

The other person's eyes, as deep as the night sky, looked at Jiang Chun very calmly.

Jiang Chun didn't know why, but the moment he looked into the other person's eyes, all the fear in his heart disappeared.

He even felt that the other person was like a fine work of art, with a body structure full of rhythmic beauty, just like those ancient works he had seen.

"Are you hungry?"

For some unknown reason, he handed over a few buns that he had not finished eating that morning.

Suddenly, the bun in his hand disappeared, and the mummy in front of him chewed a few times, rolled his throat slightly, and swallowed the food.

"food……"

The mummy in front of him uttered an obscure syllable from the deepest part of his throat.
