#553 - Chapter 553: All taught by the same teacher

"Was the Dragon Country's planning process really that lax?"

"It's not about being lax, it's about necessity. Just like modern China, with dozens of different ethnic groups. When you were building your base, did you deliberately differentiate between these races?" Manka the robot asked.

"No, I didn't," Dongfang Chen shook his head.

"That's right then. On the contrary, you should be grateful for the existence of the Laventa people," Manka said.

"Why?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Without them, the success rate of cultivating humans would be greatly reduced," Manka said.

"How so?"

"Because they possess genes for memory inheritance, which greatly increases the survival rate of humans," Manka explained.

"That's right! I didn't realize it for a moment. Since you didn't deliberately differentiate between races when you were initially cultivating humans, then why don't we Chinese people have the ability to foresee the future?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Didn't I say that only the Laventa people have the ability to foresee the future, not every Dragon Country person?" Manka said.

"But the problem is that none of the Chinese people have the ability to foresee the future!"

"Who says there aren't any? Didn't you discover Sanxingdui? Weren't those things made by the Laventa people?" Manka replied.

"It seems so!" Dongfang Chen immediately retrieved the information on Sanxingdui. It was clearly part of the same cultural system as the Mayans.

The two were very far apart, one in the southwest of China and the other in South America, a distance that humans at the time could not have covered.

"What happened later? Why haven't we seen their people or their heritage in China since then?"

"That's a sad story. The Laventa people inherited memories, but there was also a downside. They believed that their ancestors came from Venus and always hoped to return one day," the robot sighed.

"What happened then?"

"Due to the advantage of memory inheritance, they played a very important role in the early stages of human reproduction. The advanced knowledge they possessed greatly helped people survive. Most of the ancient wonders you know were built under their leadership."

"It's just that the puppet humans controlled by the Sirius star system survivors launched several large-scale destructions of human civilization, and most of the Laventa people died in the destruction."

"Wait, are you saying that other civilizations too...?" Dongfang Chen interrupted.

"Of course, for example, the earliest ancient Egyptian civilization was also established by them. However, they were later replaced by other races. Moreover, because it was closer to the Modo Grand Competition, the destruction was the most tragic."

Dongfang Chen understood.

No wonder the Egyptians and Mayans both built pyramids, like they were taught by the same teacher.

After all this time, this teacher was the Laventa people.

From this, it seems that humans were able to survive on Blue Star thanks to them.

Humanity's initial survival skills were learned from them.

"Since they had the advantage of memory inheritance, why did they perish so early? Instead, we, who don't have the ability to inherit memories, ultimately survived," Dongfang Chen continued to ask, adhering to the principle of asking when he didn't understand.

"Just like the high priest's actions just now, they could burn their boats and bet everything for the continuation of human civilization. Can you do that?" Manka asked.

"Okay, I understand," Dongfang Chen took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

He now truly understood Manka's words: humanity's ability to continue to this day is indeed thanks to the Laventa people.

The spirit of selfless sacrifice carried in their genes erected the first line of defense for the continuation of humanity.

"Then why didn't you help them back then?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"I said, I have my own mission. And my missions are all sent from the secret base on Mars. Besides, how do you know I didn't help? You also know that almost all human DNA has been implanted with backdoor programs, how could I help? Kill them all?" Manka retorted.

"That's true!"

Since the task of cultivating humans came before the discovery of the Sirius survivors, Manka couldn't solve the DNA problem during the cultivation phase. And even if he did, it would be useless. Ubiquitous viruses could easily re-implant this code during the reproductive process.

"Moreover, since I discovered the existence of the Sirius survivors, I have never left this place. My existence cannot be exposed, otherwise humans will have no chance of defeating them," the robot said with melancholy.

A robot with emotions being locked up here for hundreds of thousands of years is indeed a very painful thing.

"Then how can you be sure they haven't discovered you?"

"Two reasons. First, no puppet humans have come here to try to attack me in the past hundreds of thousands of years. Second, it is possible that their way of obtaining information is special, not a conventional observation method, but should be from the sharing of those puppet humans. That is to say, if those puppet humans don't know about my existence, the Sirius survivors won't know."

"I understand. Did you create the Sand People in Lop Nur?" Dongfang Chen asked.
