Chapter 443 The King of Atlantis
Xue Muqing's pupils shrank for a moment. Fu Meng was younger and not as patient as Xue Muqing. He stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? How do you know our Commander Yang?"
The man laughed, and the laughter seemed to come from his chest and sounded a little muffled.
"Young man, I know too many people. As for who I am, you can call me Atlas."
Xue Muqing said coldly: "If I remember correctly, Atlas is the king of Atlantis in the legend."
"Da, da, da--" The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a tall figure emitting a soft white light slowly walked out from the shadows deep in the hall.
It was a holographic projection of a man.
The man in front of him was over 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders, and was tall and strong. He was wearing a white silk robe, revealing half of his muscular shoulders.
His robe fell naturally, forming graceful folds on his sides, and the light flowed like mercury as he walked.
He wore a golden necklace on his chest, a belt woven with golden silk ribbons around his waist, and a snake-shaped bracelet inlaid with red gems on his bare right wrist.
The man looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with deep and sharp facial features. Although he was wearing a robe as light as flowing clouds, the strong inverted triangle muscles from shoulders to waist, the smooth and tight arm lines, and the bronze skin all gave him an intense sense of oppression from a masculine beast.
The collision of his noble temperament, unrestrained demeanor and strong aggressiveness made Ai Wanxin feel extremely uncomfortable.
The man stood in front of Xue Muqing, raised his chin slightly, lowered his eyes and glanced at him, saying: "You remember correctly, I am the king of Atlantis."
Xue Muqing closed his eyes and didn't want to argue with him about such meaningless things.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay then, King."
"Since you know me, I'd like to borrow the communication equipment on your island. I'll just consider it as a favor to you."
Atlas shook his head and smiled: "Major General, you came here uninvited on a warship. I didn't bother with you. I even warmly invited you to the island. My original intention was to provide you with help, but you were very rude to me."
"You asked me my name, and I told you, but you treated me with sarcasm and ridicule."
"You wanted to borrow my communication equipment to contact rescue, but you only admitted that you owed me a favor."
Atlas walked slowly around Xue Muqing: "When Commander Yang talked to me about you, he said that you were tenacious and hardworking, but he didn't say that you were arrogant, cunning, and didn't know how to judge the situation."
"Because Commander Yang admires you so much, I took time out of my busy schedule to meet you. Now that I see you, you are really overrated. I am very disappointed."
"You!" Fu Meng frowned fiercely, glared at Atlas, and said angrily, "I don't believe Atlas is your real name. Atlantis is just a legend. Besides, isn't this a theme park? Where does the king come from?"
Atlas turned his head, his eyes as deep as a pool caught Fu Meng's gaze: "Why are you so sure that Atlantis is a legend?"
"Because... because that is what it is?" Fu Meng was confused by his question. Although he had mentioned the lost civilization to Xue Muqing before, that didn't mean he really believed the legend was true. Could it be that this man had built an ocean park and role-played it to the point that he believed it himself?
Ai Wanxin stared at the man's deep and perfect face like a sculpture, and then looked at Fu Meng, who had a confused look on his face and was obviously in doubt.
She nodded in understanding.
No matter how outrageous what you say is, as long as you are firm enough, the other party will definitely be shaken.
learned.
Atlas chuckled, and once again looked at Xue Muqing, and said slowly and clearly: "The universe we live in has been around for 138 billion years, the age of the Milky Way is 130 billion years, and the solar system and our planet have existed for 46 billion years."
"About 42 billion years ago, our planet had a primitive ocean that allowed the development of life."
"Life first appeared on the planet 39 billion years ago, and 16 billion years ago, bacteria and archaea accidentally merged and gradually evolved into eukaryotes."
"5.4 million years ago, the Cambrian explosion occurred, and 4.68 million years ago, the Ordovician radiation of life occurred. The first fish with a spine appeared in the world, which were also the ancestors of future amphibians, mammals, reptiles, birds, or in other words, humans."
"3.7 million years ago, lobe-finned fish crawled onto land, and 2.3 million years ago, archosaurs with slender limbs evolved into dinosaurs, which dominated our planet for 1.6 million years."
“5500 million years ago, the first true primates, the ancient relatives of humans and apes, appeared.”
"Molecular phylogenetics suggests that chimpanzees, the closest living relatives to humans, diverged from the human lineage about 800 million years ago."
"440 million years ago, the earliest group of upright-walking ancient humans, the Ardipithecus, appeared, and 390 million years ago, the Australopithecus walked out of the forest."
"180 million years ago, Homo erectus learned to use fire and make tools."
"Based on anatomical characteristics, Homo sapiens, the ancestor of modern humans, appeared 30 years ago."
"1 years ago, humans discovered the technology to grow wheat, and the earliest agriculture emerged. More humans chose to live together, and civilization entered its most elementary stage. It was another 5000 years later that written records appeared."
"If the history of our planet is reduced to one day, then the history of human civilization is less than 0.1 seconds."
"This is from the perspective of time. Of course, we first assume that time really exists."
The hem of Atlas's robe rustled as it brushed the ground.
He went on to say: "From the perspective of space, our planet accounts for 0.0003% of the total mass of the solar system, while the mass of the Milky Way is about 8050 billion solar masses. In the observable universe with a diameter of 930 billion light years, there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies. Is this the limit of the universe? No, this is just the limit of our current cognition."
"The energy forms that humans can sense through vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch only account for 4.9% of the forms of existence in the universe. The remaining 26.8% is dark matter and 68.3% is dark energy, which we can neither see nor feel."
"Human cognition is so narrow. What you think does not exist may not necessarily not exist—" Atlas turned around, stared at the golden snake rings connected end to end on the stone wall, and said slowly, "And what you think exists, such as time, may not exist at all."
