Durin's Diary

Chapter 879 All Lonely

"By the way, what do you think about the cooperation in firearms manufacturing?" Sun Yi asked this question when he took Du Lin into the elevator.

"Me?" Du Lin scratched his face. "I don't care. As long as the technology is sufficient, it can be made. Daju and I have many things that we can't make because we don't have enough materials to make them now."

But I think it’s too dangerous to give overly novel weapons to people of this era. What do you think?

Eleven said so.

Sun Yi nodded. "That's what I'm worried about, too. If we can truly resolve the evil spirits' plot against this land and purify them completely, then what will become of Chang Tang, now free of its enemies? This has always been my concern."

Daju has a different understanding of this.

Have you thought this far? In my opinion, there is no need to worry about all this. Human beings will solve all problems by themselves.

"Of course, it's about preparing for a rainy day. That's the truth. Don't think a hundred years is too long. For us prosthetic AIs, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye. Look at me, I've been guarding here for a thousand years. Time is just like replacing useless parts for me." At this point, Sun Yi looked at Du Lin and said, "Mr. Du Lin, you have experienced two lifetimes. If nothing unexpected happens in this life, you will live for a thousand years or even longer. What do you think about the future?"

"Then I'm about to tell you a very long story. It begins when Chaos was driven from Earth by my civilization. It's been about a thousand or two thousand years. In the eastern part of Earth, there were several cybernetic AIs like you, relics of an older civilization. When Chaos was driven away and humanity no longer faced external enemies, they gradually began to rule southern Thailand in their own way. Under their rule, the people who lived well gradually grew tired of being supported by the omnics and wanted to be their own masters. So, after discussion, the wise AIs decided to grant them freedom."

Du Lin recounted the history of his past life, and Sun Yi frowned. "I can already imagine how terrible this kind of freedom would be. Before this happened, I often saw wealthy people at the research center approaching scientists with cash in hand. They wanted them to build stronger and longer-lasting bodies for them."

"Just like the vampires, right?" Du Lin asked.

"In the beginning, there were actually other options, such as elves, but elves are too obvious. The Earth Alliance will not allow an individual to have a body with such a long life, because this will attract the most angry opposition from the people and may even cause the division of the entire alliance. So later, the research team in the European Union created vampires, but vampires still have the problem of thirst for blood. So before the destruction comes, they want to create a new human who is stronger, will not get sick, and has a lifespan of 150 years. If successful, the genetic adjustment of the new human will gradually replace the old human, and eventually all children born will become new humans. They succeeded, but they also failed." Sun Yi said.

"Can you explain it in more detail?" Du Lin was a little curious about the success and failure.

"Success was due to the creation of the new humans, but failure was due to their extreme vulnerability to the influence of the Warp. Their skulls became deformed, and all sorts of twisted horns pierced their skin and grew out."

"...Cretans?" Du Lin asked curiously - of course, he did not forget to ask Daju and Shiyi to show Sun the video footage of the Cretans they had taken.

Sun Yi saw it and nodded in surprise. "Yes, that's right. The aliens outside Yumen Pass are like this. No, how come the aliens over there are still wearing clothes and don't look crazy?"

"In the Western Continent, they are called Cretans. Now that you mention it, it is very likely that some people who are twisted but not mad survived. By the way, I don't know when the Nameless One came." Du Lin asked out of curiosity.

"It was around the second decade after the research center lost contact with the home planet. At that time, Chang Tang had already lost a lot of land. It was he who helped the Chang Tang people regain their homeland step by step until Chang Tang was rebuilt. He also established the Three Passes, so we respect him as Wu Fuzi. He also had an assistant, whom we call Kong Fuzi." Sun Yi looked at Du Lin and said, "Is there any mention of an anonymous person in the mythology of your world?" Du Lin shook his head. "I don't know either. It's not written in history, but many great scholars of general history have been arguing about one thing, that is, in our history, there is a very likely great existence, but this great existence was erased for some reason, because the invasion of Chaos will not end without reason."

These things can be seen on TV all the time. Historians from both the East and the West have compiled a set of clues about this great existence.

For example, in the Western Continent, there are several families with powerful psychic powers and bloodlines. They all have the same very mysterious paternal line in their bloodlines - and this paternal line does not appear in other families.

At first, people thought that this paternal bloodline had been bled out in the long war with Chaos, but after expanding the search range, scientists unexpectedly found the same paternal gene in the bloodline of a southern Thai family.

This means that the donor of these genes is the same person - because these families were formed during the time when the Western Continent first had exchanges with the Eastern Land, which was also within a decade before the end of the Chaos Invasion.

In other words, it is impossible for the same paternal gene to be inherited in two families of different generations in the Western Land and the Eastern Land.

Moreover, history clearly records that there was no record of intermarriage between the Western Land and the Eastern Land at that time.

And these families all have one characteristic - their apex is a powerful female ancestor, whose husbands disappeared in history, and they themselves never mentioned his existence, as if some magic prevented them from speaking of it.

Historians also discovered large blank spaces in the diaries of three of the men - these blank spaces were obviously not intentionally left blank, but seemed to have been erased by something.

After hearing what Du Lin said, Sun Yi hesitated a little: "This sounds incredible, but things that are even more impossible than this already exist, so I don't think there is anything to doubt. In comparison, we are really much luckier."

"Yes." Du Lin nodded.

In the world where Du Lin lived in his previous life, historians from the Western Continent searched for history, but in the end they could only calculate the approximate timeline of the destruction of the old era. They really could not find any existence before that.

Although historians in the East initially found some old relics from the stasis field, most of them were isolated copies and could not be used as evidence. It was not until the largest library of the old era in the East was unearthed that the people of southern Thailand regained their past. But even so, such a past was incomplete.

In comparison, many people in the East and West of this world still know about the existence of the Old Era, and some even live longer - such as dragons and elves, whose history must have been preserved very well.

There's no comparison.
