Chapter 382: Mass Extinction
(4.4-3.8 million years ago... Ordovician extinction, the first mass extinction of species, about 85% of species became extinct in this catastrophe.
4.4-4.19 million years ago…Silurian period, biological recovery, Paleozoic Tertiary period. Chelicerate landfall, the first landfall of animals.
4.2 million years ago… Placoderms, the rise of vertebrates. Fishes, led by placoderms, defeated chelicerates and ascended the throne.
4.05-3.5 million years ago… Devonian period, the age of fishes exploded. Quaternary period of the Paleozoic Era.
4.15 million to 3.6 million years ago...Dunkleosteus, the leader of the armored fishes.
4.23 million years ago…Lobe-finned fish appeared, and the journey of land life began. Ammonites appeared.
3.82 million years ago... cartilaginous fish began to rise, and carnivorous fin fish including lungfish reached the peak of their power.
3.75 million years ago…Tiktaalik, the first four-legged reptile vertebrate.)
＜This period can be considered as a maintenance phase.＞
＜60% of marine invertebrates became extinct, vertebrate primitive fish and ancient amphibians became extinct＞
＜The server cleanup has started again, and the new season is about to begin.＞
＜I wonder how they managed to get here.＞
＜The seeds of life are still there and will find their own way out.＞
＜Wow, I suddenly feel so excited, let’s head towards the land!＞
＜Life is so strong, living things are reviving, moving forward! No disaster can defeat us! ＞
＜Vertebrates dominate all servers!＞
＜Vertebrates have since stood at the top of the animal kingdom and have never stepped down from the altar.＞
＜Dunkleosteus, the first overlord of jawed fishes.＞
＜With billions being the common unit, human beings are really small and young.＞
＜The ammonite roll is so strange.＞
＜I am thinking that if humans experience a mass extinction, they will either die out or mutate, there are only these two options.＞
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: Fish all look strange and bizarre...]
[Su Shi, 4th year of Song Xining: It is large and strange, and completely different from the fish of today.]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Mutation? Because of the mass extinction event? Perhaps if it wasn’t in this form at that time, it couldn’t survive.]
[Dong Zhongshu in the sixth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: I understand that life will find its own way out.]
[Zhang Zhongjing, 1685-1839: It should not be distinguished by appearance. The spine...fish also have this thing. The structure of living things is really amazing.]
[Kublai Khan: After watching for so long, I still see creatures that are hundreds of millions of years old... Life is too long.]
……
The fish looks so ferocious.
A myriad of different forms.
This was the unanimous opinion of everyone after watching the light screen video.
"It's really too slow." The official who worked with Su Shi sighed.
Su Shi stared at the light screen video a few steps away from him and suddenly spoke.
"Humans seem insignificant in the universe. Human history and civilization may only be a few thousand years old, just as the light curtain said. But so what? What's the point of thinking so much about the past and the future?"
"Just live the life we have now."
It feels like you are there, returning to the underwater world of billions of years ago, watching the fight and competition among various creatures, how they find a way to survive in the harsh environment of mass extinction, and how they make themselves stronger and better able to adapt to the new environment.
……
(3.7 million years ago... Tiktaalik and other lobe-finned fish vertebrates came ashore, creating the largest animal group on Earth: vertebrates!
All the birds and animals in the world today, including humans, evolved from this.
3.75 million years ago... an asteroid impact caused submarine volcanoes and mantle plumes to erupt. A prologue to hell.
All kinds of mountain smoke, gray ground and sky, all indicate the coming of doomsday.
3.75-3.5 million years ago…The Devonian extinction, the second mass extinction, wiped out 75% of all species on Earth.
3.72 million years ago…Hangenberg event, the flourishing of plants led to excess oxygen on land, disrupting the nitrogen and phosphorus cycle, leading to large-scale red tides and ocean hypoxia. Jaw-dropping fish drowned on the seafloor.)
＜Is a fish still a fish after it reaches the shore?＞
＜Vertebrates really took the lead and grew up very quickly.＞
＜Quadrupedal Amphibious, the Ambition of Landing.＞
＜We’ve reached the shore! We’ve finally reached the shore!＞
＜This is the true ancestor.＞
＜A great feat, a miracle maker.＞
＜Wow, this is the miraculous place where life originated! ＞
＜Salute to nature! Every destruction will bring new changes to the earth. This is a real renewal [sigh]＞
＜I actually always think that human extinction is inevitable, because we are just one of many creatures on the earth. The once powerful dominant animals have become extinct, and humans seem very powerful, but they are extremely fragile in the face of natural disasters.＞
＜I think that even if there is another mass extinction, the winner will still be among humans.＞
＜The Earth version has stopped updating again.＞
＜The plants at that time seemed different from the plants we have now. They couldn't photosynthesize?＞
＜The fish swam in the sea and then drowned [sad][covering face]＞
＜How many times has the Earth restarted? [Covering face] Was the Earth always unhappy before, and once it was happy, it would restart in various ways [crying]＞
[Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty: I have finally reached the shore. I have spent too long in the underwater world.]
[Li Zhi, 27th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty: Life is short, extinction is too far away from us.]
[Wang Shouren in the third year of Ming Zhengde: Photosynthesis of plants?]
[Du Ruhui, the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan: Fish… drowned while swimming in the sea?!]
……
When everyone saw the words "the fish was drowned", they didn't react yet. After a while, they pointed at the light curtain with a smile.
"What kind of fish drowned from lack of oxygen?"
Everyone didn't understand, but they also felt that the word oxygen had been mentioned before and seemed very important.
“What is photosynthesis in plants?”
Li Shimin accidentally remembered that in the videos about managing the Yellow River, he had mentioned that planting more trees could effectively control wind and sand.
One of the reasons why the Guanzhong region became desolate was that the Han and Tang dynasties carried out extensive development here and cut down trees...
So is plant photosynthesis related to this?
……
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The Earth has a bad temper. This is the second mass extinction event. How many more will there be? If the Earth is unhappy, will we all become extinct?"
"That's totally unreasonable." Zhu Di echoed.
Zhu Su wanted to say that we originally lived on the earth. From the perspective of the earth, we are outsiders who are temporarily living here.
It naturally does whatever it wants.
"What shocked me was that the fish swam ashore?!" King Zhu Bo of Xiang maintained his shocked look and still looked confused.
"What do they do? Crawl?"
“It’s really hard to imagine.”
……
"I understand."
After watching the light curtain video, many people not only gained more insights, but also suddenly became indifferent to life and became Buddhists in advance.
"From this perspective, those who can leave their names in history are all very powerful, regardless of whether the reason for leaving their names is good or bad, they still leave their names."
