490: Chapter 490 We Come from Venus

Since they have a mine, our asking price can't be too low.

"One hundred is too little, at least one thousand," Oriental Chen shook his head, making an exorbitant demand.

"Deal!" The High Priest agreed without even thinking.

...Oriental Chen was stunned.

He had asked for too little!

"I brought ten thousand crystals this time, so let's order ten first," the High Priest said.

...Oriental Chen.

"Okay, you can tell me any specific requirements," Oriental Chen replied, steadying his emotions.

"You mean they can be customized?" The High Priest's spirits lifted.

"Yes," Oriental Chen nodded.

"That's great! If they can be manufactured according to our spaceship's style and control methods, I'm willing to pay double the price," the High Priest voluntarily doubled the price.

"Alright. But you need to leave one spaceship as a sample," Oriental Chen readily agreed, finding this price very satisfactory.

"Naturally," the High Priest nodded.

"By the way, there's a question I've never understood. I wonder if the High Priest can answer it?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Please speak," the High Priest made a gesturing motion.

"Since you are called the Maya United Empire, are you descended from the Maya Civilization of thousands of years ago?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Yes, and no," the High Priest replied.

"Oh? How so?" Oriental Chen was a little puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, we share a common ancestor with the Maya Civilization that disappeared thousands of years ago," the High Priest replied.

"Wait, didn't the Maya Civilization only disappear a few hundred years ago?" Oriental Chen interrupted.

"No. In fact, the Maya Civilization had already disappeared more than two thousand years ago. It's just that the local indigenous people were influenced by Maya culture, and many customs and habits were passed down," the High Priest explained.

"Then since the Maya Civilization disappeared more than two thousand years ago, where did you come from?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Our physical bodies are actually the local indigenous people; only our consciousness has just awakened," the High Priest replied.

"I don't quite understand," Oriental Chen shook his head.

"Actually, you and I are the same; we both come from the same place," the High Priest replied.

"Come from the same place?" Oriental Chen became more and more confused.

"Yes. Our ancestors all came from the planet Venus, which you call Venus," the High Priest revealed a shocking secret.

"That's too incredible. I think this is just a myth or legend circulated internally among you, right?" Oriental Chen was a little disbelieving.

Although many people now question the theory of evolution, they only question some of its points.

For example, if humans evolved from ancient apes, why haven't any transitional organisms been found? It's as if all humans suddenly appeared collectively at a certain point in time.

Even if we assume that a long time ago, a certain ancient ape in a certain cave underwent a genetic mutation, and the number of chromosomes changed, leading to a mutation into a human. But this human could neither interbreed with other ancient apes to produce new offspring, nor could the entire group produce the same mutation in lockstep. How could humans evolve?

Not just humans, many species have such problems.

Even reproductive isolation caused by region cannot cause an entire ethnic group to change the number of chromosomes simultaneously.

The several species explosions in blue star calendar history have not yet found corresponding answers. And no theory has been able to reasonably explain why hundreds of thousands of different biological species appeared simultaneously within a very short period of time.

But questioning aside, the generally accepted view is still that evolution is a gradual process of change from simple to complex, from single to diverse, and from low-level to high-level.

As for the idea that humans came from other planets, it has only been mentioned in science fiction films.

"Not at all. Our method of inheritance is somewhat special; some common memories can be passed down to the next generation through heredity," the High Priest shook his head with great certainty.

"So, what you just mentioned is all innate?" Oriental Chen asked.

"More or less. We didn't even realize these memories existed in our brains, but after the virus outbreak last year, they were suddenly awakened," the High Priest replied.

"Suddenly awakened? I apologize, my question might make you uncomfortable, but I still want to ask, how do you determine that these memories were awakened, and not implanted?" Oriental Chen asked.

"As far as I know, there is no such method as memory implantation, and all of our people have awakened completely identical memories. Also, it's a feeling; all the knowledge we currently inherit has an innate sense of familiarity," the High Priest described his feelings as accurately as possible.
