Yes, these tree hearts are stored for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, and the fossil resources transformed into them are really too high-quality, comparable to the best oil. As long as there is a certain industrial foundation, a large amount of chemical raw materials can be extracted.

Including some raw materials that can burn in a low-oxygen environment, their calorific value is also very high, which can bring a solid foundation for the industrial revolution.

One of the scientists analyzed: "The industrial separation method of oxygen is very simple... There is oxygen in the atmosphere of this planet, not a little bit of oxygen, so the air can be compressed and liquefied first, and then according to the boiling point of various gases The difference, the oxygen is separated."

"As long as the temperature is controlled to be greater than -195.8°C and less than -183°C, a large amount of high-concentration oxygen can be obtained. The economic cost of this industrial separation method is quite low."

"With enough oxygen, the subsequent development will naturally occur."

But all the premise is based on... Riley civilization can develop science and technology! Only in this way can they enjoy huge benefits in the subsequent development.

If they still stubbornly believe in their own religion in the next 10 million years without any development, then they will get nothing, but will kill themselves.

"This is the real truth!"

At this point in the discussion, almost everyone fell into a delicate mood, accompanied by a little bit of panic.

Some people are in a rather excited state, witnessing the ideology of a more powerful civilization, and can't help but think that this "initiator civilization" is quite interesting.

Some people are sighing, "This civilization is stronger, more benevolent, and more ruthless than human beings, but this kind of ruthlessness can be easily accepted by us. Is it a kind of... logical ruthlessness?"

The "Initiators" gave the Riley civilization ten million years to live.

The carbon sequestration behavior of the world tree is slow, and the behavior of biological extinction is also slow... It will take at least tens of millions of years to cause a large number of species to die.

If ten million years later, Riley civilization is still the way it is now, what else is there to say?

Even the most holy people will only lament, but the Laili people are not up to date, and if they are extinct, they will be extinct.

It is impossible for a civilization to help another civilization without a bottom line. To enjoy the convenience of a higher civilization, it must be interfered by it and accept the thinking mode of a higher civilization...

This is like the Animal Protection Association of Earth Civilization, which has a very strange regulation: it is forbidden to rescue and feed wild animals.

Wild animals are either put in zoos for rescue, or fend for themselves.

People can often see hungry animals on TV, because they can’t find enough food, they are starving and skinny, and the most important thing is that these animals have a hungry cub, so that people’s sympathy can be stimulated to the greatest extent , There will be an endless stream of people donating for it.

In this case, the audience will be very confused, why is it forbidden to feed wild animals?

Why don't photographers save wild animals?

There are many reasons. On the one hand, they are afraid that these wild animals will become dependent and lose their instincts. On the other hand, the wild animals that need to be rescued are often the frail, old, or individuals with various physiological and physical defects in the animal population.

Such individuals will be eliminated naturally and become a meal for other animals.

For nature, this is a normal natural elimination phenomenon. Only by eliminating weak and defective individuals can we ensure that there are excellent individuals and excellent genes in the population, so that the population can develop and grow better.

At the same time, the so-called "old, weak, sick and disabled" are also the food of another creature. If human beings rescue a certain wild animal in a TV show, maybe some other animals will die due to lack of food.

Using this analogy, if a civilization does not make progress for a long time, but holds the top of the food chain on the planet, in the eyes of some interstellar civilizations, it is undoubtedly pathological.

"Moreover, after the world tree is planted, after the mass extinction, this planet will have a higher concentration of oxygen, which is more suitable for the birth of complex life."

After 100 million years, 200 million years, and 300 million years, microorganisms that can decompose the "tree heart" will eventually evolve... The entire ecological environment will gradually tend to balance.

After 400 million years, species began to explode again.

After 500 million years, there may be new intelligent creatures born in this world. They are ecstatic to discover the precious fossil fuels buried deep in the ground and start their own industrial era.

However, the past period of history, about this dead civilization, this new civilization will never know... Even if it knows, it will curse, "stupid", that's all.

The vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world, this is the real universe!

Who stipulates that a species, even an intelligent species, must exist in this universe? Just because you have wisdom and can feel the existence of "self"?

In this kind of discussion, everyone felt a very pure idea from the enlightener civilization.

If you don't make progress, then please die and give way to the civilization behind.

Of course, according to most people's point of view, the enlightener civilization is still a very kind and intelligent civilization... People can only glimpse a little bit of its philosophy in its actions.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's reasoning, he guessed that Li Zhendong would have no way to refute it for a while.

The whole incident has been very logical.

If the other party is a so-called "Organic Harvester", no matter what, they have to wipe out the local civilization, right? These local civilizations mean huge variables, just like pests on crops, as long as they develop a certain degree of industrialization, they will be the first to use up these fossil fuels, and then they will harvest ass.

In the end, Professor Li Zhendong said: "I still suggest that if we arrive at the next planet of life, we still need to conduct a rigorous inspection of the local indigenous civilization, whether there are traces of the enlightener civilization... including whether there is a civilization similar to the Riley civilization." , millions of years, a trap of extinction after tens of millions."

"Regarding the actions of this civilization, whether it is reported with good intentions or malicious intentions, it may involve the earth itself, and we have to be careful."

Many experts discussed this for a while, and they collectively believed that there should be no such traps on Earth... Even if there were, humans would have passed it long ago.

But Zhang Yuan still nodded and said: "That's no problem. What the enlightener civilization did 150,000 years ago must be the focus of the next interstellar journey. I will also ask the Badit people to see Do they have any news about it?"

In the midst of this silence, everyone gradually left, Zhang Yuan returned to his captain's office, and sighed softly.

After the discussion just now, human beings are not going to help the Rileys too much.

In this transaction, human beings have given them some basic knowledge, which can be regarded as the utmost benevolence. If the Laili people put this knowledge on the shelf and cause themselves to become extinct, how can they blame human beings?

"Yeah, there's nothing to be sorry about, so be it, alas..."
