Chapter 161 Qi Jiguang was frightened. Emperor Chengzu? Emperor Taizu?

Zhuang Mu pointed to a mammal climbing a tree not far away.

“They are our ancestors.”

“Over time, species became more specialized, and we are one of those specialized mammals.”

Zhu Di watched this scene in silence.

The tree was very tall, and even though the dinosaurs were very strong, they could not shake it.

It can be seen that this Tyrannosaurus Rex is eager for food in the trees, but it is hiding too high and cannot find food.

“Well, either I’m running away or on my way to running away.”

Obviously, climbing skills are also necessary for survival.

The combat effectiveness of these dinosaurs is obviously stronger than that of these mammals.

Either evolve the skills to avoid dinosaurs, or be eaten.

Therefore, mammals evolved climbing skills.

Also has hole-drilling skills.

Zhuang Mu smiled and explained, “Forced by life, during the tens of millions of years ruled by dinosaurs, mammals evolved more advanced abilities, that is, more complex cortical grooves and convolutions.”

“That’s the brain we’re still using.”

Yao Guangxiao looked at the dinosaurs in front of him, which were constantly eating mammals, and began to ask.

“Now you have a brain?”

“Yes.”

After thinking for a moment, Yao Guangxiao spoke.

“It looks like this is going to take another disaster.”

Zhuang Mu was a little surprised.

“Old monk, how do you know?”

“That’s right, just as the old monk said, even in the age of dinosaurs, mammals evolved big brains in order to escape.”

“But the powerful violence of dinosaurs has not changed the situation of mammals much.”

“until……”

Then, Zhuang Mu waved his hands.

Everyone was instantly transferred to the starry sky.

Looking down at the earth.

It seems that the entire starry sky is not just a sphere called the Earth.

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously, “Mr. Zhuang, are those spheres the same as the Earth?”

Zhuang Mu nodded.

“Those are also planets that revolve around the sun, just like the Earth.”

“Back to business.”

“And what destroyed the dinosaur era was this huge meteorite.”

His voice just fell.

Then, a meteorite as big as the moon was heading towards the earth.

At the moment of impact, even if you were not on Earth, you could feel a breath of destruction.

To let them experience firsthand what it feels like to be hit by a meteorite.

Zhuang Mu once again teleported everyone to the location where the meteorite hit.

Cover the sky.

The breath of death permeates the air.

Even Zhu Di and Zhu Houcong felt waves of fear in their hearts.

In the face of a meteorite impact, even if they were emperors, they were ultimately powerless.

He could only watch his own demise.

“After the meteorite hit the Earth, the Earth’s environment changed drastically, not only did the dinosaurs become extinct, but a large number of land plants also became extinct.”

“The only survivors are a few living underground, and some plants and animals in the water.”

“And the rulers of this era must be somewhat familiar to you all.”

“For example, saber-toothed tigers.”

I saw a beast that looked like a tiger but had two huge fangs crawling forward.

Zhu Gaochi was so scared that he thought this creature was hunting him.

Zhu Gaochi had never seen a ferocious tiger or a big beast.

But Zhu Di hunted all year round, so he had naturally seen this kind of creature.

“There were also giant bears, giant pigs, and other mammals. During this period, there was no absolute dominant animal.”

“But the top predators are all mammals.”

Then, the environment changed again.

Everyone came to a forest.

Zhuang Mu pointed at the apes in the trees and said, “These apes hiding in the trees are our ancestors.”

Yao Guangxiao observed these ancient apes.

Obviously, these ancient apes have begun to take on the most basic prototype form.

At this time, one of the apes that had always lived in the trees dared to climb down the tree.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Di couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re quite brave to climb down the tree when there are so many ferocious beasts.”

The apes of this period had very long limbs, which were convenient for climbing.

However, there were no weapons.

Therefore, when facing giant beasts like saber-toothed tigers, there is basically no way out.

Trees are their safety barrier, and it takes courage to climb down from the trees.

“There are only three evolutionary paths for primates.”

“One, it’s a monkey.”

“One, a chimpanzee.”

“The last one is the evolutionary path of our human race.”

“Chimpanzees are part of the same family as us in this evolutionary process, but unfortunately they were left behind along the way.”

“Ahem, this is off topic. Let’s continue as the environment evolves.”

“The food in the trees became less and less, and in order to survive, these ancient apes began to come to the land to look for food.”

“However, these beasts are still a threat to them.”

“Over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, countless apes have fallen.”

“until……”

Zhuang Mu waved his hand.

On the vast land, there was a creature holding a wooden spear, which was able to walk upright and looked almost like a human.

Gazing into the distance.

Beside him, more and more ancient apes began to straighten their backs.

No longer walking on all fours, his hands were free to hold a spear.

Looking at this scene, everyone felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.

Then, under their gaze, these Homo erectus ran at an extremely fast speed.

The hunt begins.

Along the way, human ancestors have always been hunted, until this moment.

They finally stood up.

“This is Homo erectus, and Homo erectus no longer walks on all fours.”

“Both hands can handle weapons skillfully.”

“The emergence of Homo erectus also represents the beginning of human wisdom and a new era for humanity.”

“Over time, the human brain has continued to expand in size.”

“The tools they could use were not limited to wooden tools; they also learned to use fire and stone tools.”

“This is the complete origin and evolution process of human beings.”

“Old monk, do you have any doubts?”

Yao Guangxiao pondered, the scenes just now were still vivid in his mind.

In fact, he found it difficult to accept Zhuang Mu’s theory of evolution.

But we can get a glimpse of the clues.

The entire evolutionary process actually emphasizes one thing: survival.

In order to survive, protostomes evolved eyes and exoskeletons and dominated an era.

In order to survive, protostomes once again evolved weapons that could break through the exoskeleton and dominated another era.

Later, there was a mass extinction of species and environmental changes.

Protostomes became history.

The deuterostomes, because of the conditions accumulated previously, began a new round of domination.

In order to survive, some deuterostome marine animals lost the civil war and were forced to land, ushering in the dinosaur age.

In order to survive, mammals choose to strengthen their escape skills, such as climbing, digging holes, etc., to avoid being hunted by dinosaurs.

Unexpectedly, a meteorite hit the earth and the dinosaurs became extinct.

It’s a new era again.

Apes adapted to the changes in the environment of the times, walked down from the forests on which they depended for survival, came to the land, learned to use weapons, and became the rulers of the new era.

According to Zhuang Mu.

It seems that the current overlord of the earth is human beings, no matter how they change.

The overlords of the earth are all human beings. Whether the surname is Liu, Li, Zhao, or Zhu, the world is full of internal struggles among human beings.

It is exactly the same as the world hundreds of millions of years ago.

It’s just that that era was a civil war among protostomes, a civil war among dinosaurs, and so on.

and.

The evolution of mankind is no longer just evolving weapons, but starting to create new weapons.

The Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Fire Age.

The end of the Bronze Age marked the decline of the Zhou Dynasty. Iron ware rose in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and finally flourished in the Qin Dynasty.

The end of the Iron Age marked the decline of the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty’s metal muskets finally enabled the Yuan Dynasty to unify the country.

The most prosperous period was the Yongle Dynasty.

The emergence of the Shenjiying will establish the status of firearms for the next hundred years.

Thinking of this, Yao Guangxiao shook his head slightly.

“Don’t you have any doubts at all?”

Zhuang Mulue felt a little surprised.

In response to this, Yao Guangxiao said softly.

“Why question it?”

“Although it is somewhat unbelievable that humans evolved from fish.”

“It’s not unreasonable to go.”

“The evolution of each organism took nearly tens of millions of years.”

“And from the Zhou Dynasty to the present day, it’s been less than ten thousand years.”

“In just a thousand years, we have evolved to the point where we can manufacture firearms in large quantities.”

“Let me ask you, what in the world can withstand the power of gunpowder and muskets?”

“If we were given tens of millions more time, hahahaha, it would be unimaginable.”

Zhuang Mu looked at Yao Guangxiao.

This old monk has an open mind.

However, what Yao Guangxiao said was correct.

It took less than ten thousand years for the era of cold weapons to evolve into the era of hot weapons.

Nuclear bombs, the Internet, airplanes, space stations, these things only took less than two hundred years.

They appeared one by one.

Tens of millions of years is truly unimaginable.

I’m afraid that by then, there will only be things that threaten the entire galaxy or the entire universe.

Only then can human rule end.

At this moment, Zhu Houcong’s eyes lit up.

He said, “Master Chengzu, don’t you respect your ancestors?”

“I don’t believe you’ve never eaten fish in your life.”

“Eating our own ancestors, Master Chengzu, you seem to be even more excessive than me, right?”

Hearing these words, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Houcong with cold eyes.

This kid is here to disgust people again.

Zhuang Mu also explained this.

“It doesn’t mean that humans evolved from fish, and all fish are the ancestors of humans.”

“The fish that belonged to human ancestors died out long ago.”

“Just like now, the bloodlines of the common people and the emperor all originate from the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.”

“What? You still regard these people as your ancestors?”

“You’re changing the subject.”

I can only say that there is a relationship, but not much.

Zhu Houcong snorted coldly.

After that, he stopped talking.

Zhu Di was quite happy when he saw the humiliated look on this poor fellow’s face.

In this dream, Zhu Di still paid more attention to one thing.

That is, natural disaster.

It can be said that the rise of mankind would have been impossible without natural disasters that wiped out the dinosaurs.

It’s hard to say who will be the current overlord of the earth.

Just like the protostomes, which were extinct by solar storms, otherwise, the deuterostomes would probably never be able to overthrow their dominance in this lifetime.

Then, will the change of dynasties be like this as well?

If the Ming Dynasty faced such extreme weather.

How can we resist it?
“Oh, nature is truly a work of genius.”

“It’s beyond human power.”

My God, it’s still amazing.

When the dream ended, Zhuang Mu waved his hand and ended the dream.

Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaosui, and Zhu Houcong all woke up from their dreams.

This dream journey.

It can also be regarded as an exploration of the truth of life.

After Yao Guangxiao regained consciousness, he approached Zhuang Mu and said with a smile, “I’ve lost. Young Master Zhuang’s theory of evolution is truly astonishing.”

At this time, Zhu Di also came to the counter.

He looked at Zhu Houcong in front of him, and then looked at Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui quickly bowed and said, “I have sent Di Ping to inform them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di ignored it.

only.

Zhu Di’s gaze never left Zhu Houcong.

The presence of Qi Jiguang also gave Zhu Houcong more confidence.

“Qi Jiguang, remember, if this old man makes any unusual moves, you must take him hostage first.”

“If my safety is compromised, he will be buried with me.”

“Of course, if I am fine, then his life should not be harmed.”

Although Zhu Houcong did not respect his ancestors.

However, if you say that he really wanted to kill his ancestors for no reason, he would not have gone so far as to rebel against Tiangang.

Of course, if his own life was threatened, he wouldn’t mind killing his ancestors to save his own life.

Qi Jiguang looked at Zhu Di.

I was a little curious.

Who is this person?

Zhu Di also looked at Qi Jiguang and frowned.

“Old Third, who is this person? Do you know him?”

Zhu Gaosui nodded.

“His name is Qi Jiguang, and he was a famous general who fought against the Japanese invaders during the Jiajing period.”

“This man’s ability to train soldiers is very strong.”

“I have heard of his military achievements during the Jiajing period.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di became interested.

A famous general who fought against the Japanese invaders?
Can that group of Japanese pirates still be a force to be reckoned with?
In response to this, Zhu Gaosui explained the basic situation of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Because Zhu Houcong was in disarray and treated the national treasury as his own, there was a shortage of military equipment and supplies.

The Mongols and Japanese pirates continued to grow stronger, and the Ming army was unable to defeat even a group of Japanese pirates.

Qi Jiguang was a special talent that emerged amid the corrupt bureaucracy.

After listening to this.

Zhu Di’s disgust towards Zhu Houcong increased a little more.

I didn’t bring a knife today, otherwise this bastard would have been able to walk out of the tavern, which would have been a blasphemy to the name Taizong.

“So, what is this kid’s record?”

Zhu Gaosui whispered.

“Qi Jiguang and the Qi Family Army he trained turned the tide for the Ming army in its fight against the Japanese pirates.”

“Not only can we easily defeat the Japanese pirates, but we can even achieve victory with extremely low casualties.”

“After a battle, at most a few dozen Qi’s soldiers would be lost.”

Hearing these words, Zhu Di’s eyes lit up instantly.

Such an excellent general existed during the Jiajing period.

It’s really a waste of talent.

If Qi Jiguang had come to the Yongle Dynasty and become the commander of the Shenjiying…

Let me ask, who dares to compete with it?

Of course, the problem of the Yongle Dynasty was not actually a problem of elite troops.

It’s because you lack a good commander and the enemy doesn’t want to fight you.

This is the key.

Zhu Di was interested in finding a talented person, so he said, “Boy, are you interested in leaving that idiot next to you and coming to me to develop your career?”

“I can promise you many things.”
