536: Chapter 536 It Wasn't Intentional
“Disgusting bugs? The Tasman’s insect civilization?” Oriental Chen suddenly thought of something.
“How can such disgusting things be called a civilization?” The robot disagreed.
Well, there might be a difference in the definition of civilization between Oriental Chen and this Sister.
In humanity's definition, as long as a population produces cognitive results and can transmit these results to descendants in a non-genetic form, then it can be said that this population has produced a civilization.
“I’d like to ask, how did you eliminate the Tasman Civilization?” Oriental Chen was very curious about this.
“That’s very simple. I just lowered the temperature of Blue Star a little bit, and they all died,” the robot said.
Oriental Chen was truly speechless at him; his tone was very boastful.
What a boast.
“Do you think Blue Star is your refrigerator?”
“And ‘lowered the temperature a little bit’?”
“You talk as if it’s true,” Oriental Chen said.
“It is true! Why would I lie to you!” The robot became unhappy.
“Then tell me, how can you lower the temperature of Blue Star a little bit?” Oriental Chen asked him using his own words.
“That’s very simple. I sowed the plant seeds from Mercury onto Blue Star, and the temperature quickly dropped,” the robot explained.
“Plants from Mercury?” This was the first time Oriental Chen had heard of such an operation.
“That’s right, many of the plants you see now are Mercury plants. Of course, all of these were planted by me at that time,” the robot’s words were full of a sense of showing off.
Oriental Chen pondered carefully.
What this Sister said wasn’t impossible.
The multiple mass extinctions on Blue Star have never had a reasonable explanation, and the differences between many species are enormous, even feeling as if they didn’t evolve from the same ecosystem.
If they migrated from other planets, it would make sense.
Moreover, when he was previously searching for traces of the Nata Civilization, he had checked relevant material, and that historical period did indeed experience a slight cooling, leading to the extinction of many species.
At the same time, a large number of plant species suddenly appeared worldwide, and the entire land was covered by dense jungles.
Most of the coal and oil on Blue Star originate from that period, which shows how lush the vegetation was at that time.
Lush vegetation would accelerate the consumption of carbon dioxide in the air.
An increase in oxygen content and a decrease in carbon dioxide in the air would lead to a decrease in temperature.
This indeed makes sense in theory.
On the other hand, most species are actually very sensitive to climate.
Even minor climate changes could lead to a major collapse of the entire Blue Star ecosystem.
Just now, the temperature drop caused by red oxygen is actually still very slight, but most areas of the entire surface are no longer suitable for human life. If it weren't for the underground bases, most people would probably all die within a few months.
Even humans cannot survive in the face of such climate change, so the situation of other species can be imagined.
Therefore, this Sister wasn’t entirely boasting.
“Why did you eliminate the bugs on Blue Star?” Oriental Chen continued to ask.
“Oh no! I didn’t do it on purpose, who knew they were so fragile.” The robot’s words were evasive; he definitely didn’t want to admit he had made a mistake.
Oriental Chen’s right eyelid twitched involuntarily.
He couldn’t even respond to what he said.
Eliminating a civilization, and possibly other species, with a mere wave of his hand. His tone was like a child who had accidentally made a small mistake.
He didn’t know if the Sister in front of him was truly innocent or feigning innocence.
“You said you didn’t do it on purpose, but why does it sound like you did it intentionally?” Oriental Chen wanted to tease him appropriately.
“I already said I didn’t do it on purpose, why don’t you believe me?” The robot was a little temperamental.
“Alright, alright, you didn’t do it on purpose. Then I ask you, why did you help the Nata People?” Oriental Chen changed his angle of questioning.
“They’re actually quite cute, with big, adorable eyes.” The robot felt a hint of nostalgia as he spoke.
“However, they were actually raised by those hateful bugs and used as food! It’s absolutely detestable!” His emotions did a 180-degree turn, and now he was particularly angry.
His personality was like a ten-year-old Sister.
“That’s very normal. We humans also raise many types of animals to serve as food,” Oriental Chen didn’t think there was any problem with that.
“It’s different!” the robot said.
Clearly, he also knew how humans now raise animals.
“How is it different?” Oriental Chen didn’t understand.
“Oh no! Don’t ask, it’s just different.” The robot didn’t want to answer.
