#536 - Chapter 536 It Wasn't Intentional

"Disgusting bugs? The Tasman insect civilization?" Dongfang Chen suddenly thought of something.

"Such disgusting things, and you have the nerve to call it a civilization?" The robot disapproved.

Well, regarding the definition of civilization, there might be a difference between Dongfang Chen and this little guy.

In the human definition, as long as a species produces cognitive achievements and can pass these achievements on to future generations in a non-genetic form, then it can be said that this species has produced a civilization.

"I would like to ask, how did you destroy the Tasman civilization?" Dongfang Chen was very curious about this.

"That's very simple. I just slightly lowered the temperature of Blue Star, and they all died," the robot said.

Dongfang Chen was truly speechless towards him; he was so full of himself.

Such boasting.

"You think Blue Star is your refrigerator?"

"And 'lowered the temperature a little bit'?"

"You say it like it's true," Dongfang Chen said.

"It is true! Why would I lie to you!" The robot was unhappy.

"Then tell me, how could you lower the temperature of Blue Star a little bit?" Dongfang Chen used his words to ask him.

"That's very simple. I scattered plant seeds from Mercury onto Blue Star, and the temperature quickly dropped," the robot explained.

"Plants from Mercury?" Dongfang Chen had never heard of such an operation before.

"That's right, many of the plants you see now are Mercury plants. Of course, I planted all of these back then," the robot said, his words full of boasting.

Dongfang Chen pondered carefully.

What this little guy said wasn't impossible.

There has never been a reasonable explanation for the several major species explosions on Blue Star, and the differences between many species are extremely large, even feeling like they didn't evolve from the same ecosystem.

If they were migrated from other planets, it would make sense.

Moreover, when he was previously searching for traces of the Nata civilization, he checked relevant information and found that there was indeed a slight cooling during that historical period, 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 with dense forests.

Most of the coal and oil on Blue Star came 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 drop in temperature.

This is indeed logically sound.

On the other hand, most species are actually very sensitive to climate.

Small changes in climate can potentially lead to a major collapse of the entire Blue Star ecological chain.

Take the current situation, for example. The temperature drop caused by red oxygen is actually still very slight, but most areas of the Earth's surface are no longer suitable for human habitation. If it weren't for the underground bases, most people would probably die within a few months.

Even humans can't survive in the face of such climate change, so the situation of other species can be imagined.

Therefore, this little guy isn't completely boasting.

"Why did you want to destroy the bugs on Blue Star?" Dongfang Chen continued to ask.

"Oh! I didn't do it on purpose; who knew they were so fragile?" The robot said evasively, definitely not wanting to admit that it had made a mistake.

Dongfang Chen couldn't help but feel his right eyelid twitch.

He couldn't even respond to that.

Destroying a civilization, and possibly other species, with a wave of the hand. This tone was like a child unintentionally making a small mistake.

He didn't know if the little guy in front of him was truly innocent or pretending to be.

"You say you didn't do it on purpose, but why does it sound like you did it on purpose?" Dongfang Chen wanted to tease him a bit.

"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 let me ask you, why did you help the Nata people?" Dongfang Chen asked from a different angle.

"They were actually quite cute, with big eyes, so adorable," the robot said, feeling a hint of nostalgia.

"However, they were actually raised by those hateful bugs and used as food! That's just too hateful!" His emotions made a 180-degree turn, and now he was particularly angry.

This personality was like a teenage girl.

"That's normal. We humans also raise many kinds of animals to serve as food," Dongfang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

"It's different!" the robot said.

Obviously, he also knew how humans raised animals now.

"Where is it different?" Dongfang Chen didn't understand.

"Oh! Don't ask, it's just different," the robot didn't want to answer.
