Falling into the Cretaceous

"So, Ye-ge, did you understand?"

At this moment, Zhang Qiming stepped forward and asked, while the others also stepped forward expectantly to await Shen Ye's reply.

"Studying a language is not easy. Right now, I can only understand the meaning of a few simple characters. I still need to study the others little by little and connect them."

Shen Ye smiled wryly. For laymen like them, sometimes it was truly a situation that left them both amused and exasperated.

Although these characters are also pictographs, they are different from any other pictographs I know, both in structure and meaning.

"Whatever, just say as much as you understand!"

Zhou Jian shrugged and said.

Shen Ye smiled and nodded.

"These are not all ancient hieroglyphs; some are hieroglyphs they created in modern times. For example, this pattern is a classic bacterial symbol. You might think it's the sun, but it's actually a symbol for bacteria that infect people."

Everyone tensed up when Shen Ye said that.

"Are they saying there are bacteria here?"

Mike asked nervously.

"Yes and no. The meaning of these words is roughly that there is a type of bacteria that can make humans very healthy, and they brought it into this world..."

"Isn't this just probiotics?"

Zhou Jian interjected.

"It shouldn't be. Behind the bacteria is an image of the Earth, which is a macroscopic representation, meaning that these bacteria can improve the entire Earth's ecology."

Shen Ye's words left everyone puzzled.

At this moment, Cui Zhengxi spoke up.

"Chief, didn't you say before that if we were really in the Cretaceous period, the oxygen concentration would be different from the bacterial flora of this world, which could directly lead to our death? But so far, none of us have died because of this. Could it be that..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"You mean we're alive because that sphere already brought this superbug into the world, so we survived because we were infected with it, right?"

These words shocked everyone present.

Cui Zhengxi nodded directly; this was exactly what he had guessed.

But Shen Ye shook his head.

"Things might not be like that. This is a conclusion we've drawn from our own self-centered perspective. They shouldn't have cared about our deaths... It should be like this: they brought this bacteria into the world so that the entire ecosystem wouldn't be destroyed by the bacteria on our bodies. Therefore, the bacteria they brought should be able to coexist with the bacteria in our bodies. The fact that wild people came into contact with modern humans without getting sick is good evidence of this."

Shen Ye paused for a moment and then said:

"A sphere may not be able to bring a creature as large as a human into this world, but it is possible to bring bacteria back."

"Wait a minute, aren't you overlooking a logical problem?"

Then Engineer Deng stepped forward and said, "The fact that we are here, and that future humans haven't gone extinct, proves that they've adapted to the bacteria on our bodies, doesn't it? Besides, even if they change this ecological problem, their own future won't change! Otherwise, there would be a time paradox; the butterfly effect would definitely wipe them out. Without them, where would the sphere come from? Without the sphere, why would we be discussing this here?"

"Besides, in their world, our fate is already sealed; it's just history. There's no need to send the sphere over!"

Engineer Deng's words immediately refuted the conclusion that the sphere was sent by people from the future.

Shen Ye knew that Engineer Deng's words were very convincing.

Those present were all highly educated individuals, and they could all understand such a simple theory.

But Shen Ye had his own different opinion.

"We cannot completely rule out the possibility that people from the future sent the sphere. If a civilization has reached its peak, and it sends something back to the past, it may not be to change history, but to create a parallel universe! Theoretically, the parallel universe is born the moment they send the thing back to the past."

Shen Ye's words once again plunged everyone into silence.

In the end, we were just guinea pigs.

"There's no need to discuss this anymore; it's pointless. The key question is, why did they write all this on the sphere? If it was simply to create a parallel universe, they could have just sent it back quietly. Why write all this?"

Zhang Qiming said in his speech.

At this moment, Cui Zhengxi spoke again.

"These words aren't for us to see, but for the people of this world in the future, so they will understand that they created this world, that they are the creators, and that they will establish parallel universe communication with each other! That sphere might be a communication device between two universes!"

Cui Zhengxi has come up with a really creative idea this time.

Although everyone found it absurd, it was logically a closed loop.

This is a parallel universe experiment conducted by people from the future!

Our group of people has become just a tiny, insignificant change in their research, and will eventually disappear into the long river of history.

"Damn it! Stop talking nonsense, it's too brain-taxing! Leave the research to Ye-ge, aren't we all supposed to be doing that 'horse thing' today?"

Mike said painfully at this moment.

He couldn't understand it at all, and thought it was meaningless, since he couldn't send everyone back anyway.

"Mike is right this time, Brother Zhang. Let's take everyone to cut down trees and make barricades. The more the better. Nobody can guarantee that the Tyrant Dragon won't come back," Shen Ye said to Zhang Qiming.

Zhang Qiming nodded and turned to give the instructions.

"Zhou Jian, take some people over to the hill and retrieve the rest of the scattered luggage. Those things will be useful to us," Shen Ye said to Zhou Jian.

"good!"

Zhou Jian nodded in agreement.

After giving the instructions, Shen Ye went to study the characters on his own.

He also understood that the conclusions everyone had just drawn were most likely correct; it was unlikely that future humans would go to great lengths to save a few historical ants.

If we want to go back, we still have to wait for the reappearance of that exit from last time, and then wait for the United Nations' intergalactic rescue.

However, Shen Ye didn't want to give up any chance to go back, so he still wanted to study it. At least, he believed that the vibration of the sphere at that time was a reminder for him to find the sphere.

Moreover, he always felt that his body underwent some inexplicable changes after touching the sphere.

in the afternoon.

Shen Ye was wiping his raging bull.

This foreigner from Ningbo came over.

"Hey bro, I was shooting birds with my slingshot outside when I spotted a savage!"

Ningbo said, panting.

"Where did you see it? Did it spot you?"

Shen Ye immediately became alert and stood up to ask.

"Over there, it probably hasn't found me yet. I sneaked back!" Ningbo said excitedly, pointing in a direction.
