Chapter 4: Theme: Two centuries later, who will survive to the end while suffering the least loss in
Global Joint Command Center.
Almost every country was excited when it saw the rule that "people can communicate with their own country for three minutes".
Being able to communicate means being able to provide remote guidance.
This is absolutely fantastic news. In an instant, I felt a surge of joy.
With guidance, there's no need to worry about Lin Xia making random choices since she doesn't know anything.
But the white-bearded scientist's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
"Don't forget, Lin Xia is too confident. She even dares to criticize experts, doesn't take them seriously at all, and always thinks she's the one who knows the most."
"I'm afraid... they might not listen to us."
The three executives' expressions froze instantly.
Commander Hua was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Surely not? He wouldn't do something like that."
"If they tell you the answer, why don't you copy it? Don't slackers love copying answers the most?"
No one responded.
He pursed his lips and turned to look at the sky.
At this moment, the main screen displays the overall game screen, with ten secondary screens next to it, each corresponding to a participant from a different country.
Commander Hua's gaze fell on one of the images.
Lin Xia crossed her legs and leaned back leisurely in her chair, looking more relaxed than if she were watching TV in her own living room than a contestant.
Commander Hua unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
This kid... I hope he doesn't actually do things the wrong way.
……
The Dragon Kingdom's competition room.
Lin Xia leaned back in her chair and touched her chin.
To be honest, when he heard it was the Jurassic era, many animals flashed through his mind.
For example, Eoraptor, which eventually evolved into Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Hua Yanglong, an early member of the Stegosaurus family.
It's still a whale dragon, which could evolve into other Titan-like, super-giant long-necked dinosaurs like Argentinosaurus in the future, and so on.
He went through it in his mind.
Just then, the screen on the sky suddenly lit up, and a line of large golden characters appeared.
[Blue Star Online new version has finished loading.]
[A preview of the Early Jurassic period is coming soon, estimated to be 60 minutes long.]
The global joint command center fell silent instantly.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to their screens.
60 minutes.
Every frame, every detail, can determine the final success or failure.
Not a single person dared to blink.
The sky darkened for a moment.
When it lights up again, the image is no longer cold text and borders, but a vast and boundless land.
The mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period had just occurred, and the land still carried a sense of desolation.
The sky was overcast, as if veiled by a thin gauze. Sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a pale golden halo over the newly born land.
The camera slowly zooms in.
First, there's the vegetation.
Mass extinctions have wiped out countless species, but life is far more resilient than we imagine.
Ferns and cycads regained dominance, and large swaths of green covered the low-lying areas, while coniferous forests began to take shape on the highlands.
Looking into the distance, the land is covered with varying shades of green, occasionally dotted with a few tall horsetails, standing like sentinels on the riverbank.
The river meanders through the plain, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
The river water is so clear that you can see the pebbles and sand at the bottom.
A few lungfish swam lazily by, occasionally surfacing for a breath of air.
On the riverbank, several small schizothorax amphibians were basking in the sun on the mudflats.
They look somewhat like crocodiles, but are much smaller, with smooth, wet skin and bulging, protruding eyes.
The glory of the Triassic period has passed, but this branch of theirs has been fortunate enough to survive and continue to thrive in the new era.
Further away, in a patch of low ferns, something was moving rapidly.
The camera zooms in.
It was a small, beaked lizard.
No, it's more primitive than the modern beaked lizard, with its limbs outstretched and its movements agile, chasing a beetle through the bushes.
After catching its prey, it suddenly shook its head and swallowed it whole in a few gulps, then quickly disappeared behind the fern leaves.
A sharp cry came from the sky.
Several pterosaurs swept across the sky.
They were not the colossal creatures of the later Cretaceous period; they were small, with a wingspan of just over a meter, and their wings were thin yet strong, nimbly tumbling in the air currents.
They circled the river a few times, and suddenly one of them swooped down, its claws precisely skimming the water's surface.
A fish was lifted up, struggled a couple of times, and disappeared into the pterosaur's mouth.
The camera cuts again.
On a relatively open floodplain, a group of primitive mammal-like animals are active.
They are small, look like shrews, are hairy, and dig for insects on the ground.
They are nocturnal, timid and cautious, and insignificant compared to the rising giants, but their descendants will dominate this land millions of years from now.
Of course, dinosaurs are also featured in the footage.
In the distance, a small group of Coelophysis were moving through the low ferns.
They are slender, only a little over two meters long, and move lightly and nimbly, like a flock of large birds leaping among the bushes.
One of them suddenly stopped, tilted its neck back slightly, and stared intently at a small archosaur deep in the ferns.
The next instant, it darted away.
On the mudflats of the riverbank, an Eoraptor is munching on fern leaves.
It was smaller, and its teeth were not as sharp as those of later carnivorous dinosaurs; instead, they resembled the molars of herbivores.
The scene slowly zooms out.
Rivers, plains, forests, hills.
Pterosaurs in the sky, lungfish in the water, amphibians and archosaurs on the mudflats, small dinosaurs in the bushes, and early sauropods occasionally peeking out from the edge of the highlands...
A brand new era is slowly but steadily unfolding...
[Preview complete!]
[Participants will enter the game world via holographic projection to observe the living conditions of each animal up close.]
[At the same time, you will witness the "peak moments" of these animals—the strongest forms they have ever reached in the course of history.]
This will help you make more accurate choices.
In the global joint command center, everyone held their breath.
coming.
Here comes the main topic.
A flash of golden light appeared in the sky, and several lines of large characters suddenly emerged.
[Topic: Two centuries later, who will survive to the end while suffering the least decline in all aspects?]
[Based on this theme, the animals selected by players during the observation of ten civilizations will be ranked.]
[Remember: Be careful. The last five will suffer natural disasters.]
The top five will receive resource rewards. First place will receive a super reward.
The whole world fell silent at that moment.
After two phases, who will survive to the end?
Who was weakened the least?
This question... is neither too difficult nor too easy.
It tests not one's understanding of a single species, but rather one's grasp of the entire ecological evolutionary trajectory.
Those who survive to the end are not necessarily the strongest, or even the most adaptable.
High-ranking officials from various countries surrounded their own expert teams, launching into a frantic analysis and discussion...
