Using myths to define science was undoubtedly a very imprecise thing.
This was because the myths of the past were scattered and recorded, and there were a lot of elements added by later generations.
However, we can still discover some of the laws of geological and climate development in Earth's history through many myths.
For example, the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis.
The Lord saw that the sins of man were great on the earth, and he announced that he would use the flood to destroy all living creatures on the earth that had flesh and blood, and that they would die.）
The Great Flood was a common legend among many races on Earth.
Anthropologists had discovered that in civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Greece, Arabia, Russia, and Maya, there were legends of floods that appeared at different times.
According to human geologists 'analysis of underground rock formations, the sea level of the entire planet had risen by more than one meter between 7000 and 10,000 years ago. It could be seen that there was indeed a great flood on Earth during that period.
Another example would be the Heavenly Dog eating the sun, which was an astronomical phenomenon of a solar eclipse.
The reason was that when the moon moved between the sun and the earth, the three were in a straight line. The moon would block the light from the sun to the earth, and the shadow behind the moon would fall on the earth. At this time, the sun would slowly disappear from the earth's perspective.
Then, was it possible that the story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun also hinted at a sudden change in the climate at a certain time?
The story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun was roughly-
On a certain day in ancient times, four suns appeared in the sky, and a severe drought occurred on the ground.
The scorching heat scorched the forest, dried the earth, and dried the seedlings and vegetation.
In order to save mankind, a hero named Hou Yi drew his bow and shot down nine suns in the sky.
In the end, there was only one sun left in the sky, which averted the sudden disaster of mankind.
Of course, based on the knowledge that humans had today, it was impossible for ten suns to appear in the sky at the same time. It was not just a serious drought on Earth.
If ten suns (stars) appeared in the sky, the result would be that the balance of gravity between the celestial bodies in the solar system would be broken. The atmosphere on Earth would be instantly torn apart by the huge gravity, and the Earth would become a sea of fire!
Taking into account the fact that historical records often exaggerated the facts.
If ten suns were to be understood as starting from one day, the radiation from the sun to the earth would be the same as the current situation. Due to some inexplicable reason, the radiation would suddenly increase. (The ancients used ten days to describe it)
It caused a severe drought on land and the depletion of water resources caused by the evaporating of water sources.
Then, a hero called Descendant appeared and resolved the crisis.
.......
Lin Yong was concentrating on driving when Wang Jingyun suddenly jumped up from the back seat and shouted,""Stop the car!"
Lin Yong subconsciously stepped on the emergency brake. Fortunately, there was no car following behind him, so it did not cause a rear-end collision.
Before the car could stop, Wang Jingyun hurriedly got out of the car and looked up at the sun in the sky.
The sunlight was blinding, and soon, his eyes were stimulated to tears.
However, Wang Jingyun seemed to be oblivious to this. He muttered,"
"That shouldn't be possible!"
"The sun is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth!”
"If the legend of the descendants shooting the sun is true, let's not ask what the reason is. How did the predecessors affect the changes of the sun on Earth?”
Wang Jingyun seemed to have fallen into a trance. In the end, he sat on the side of the road and held his head as he began to think hard.
Lin Yong didn't dare to disturb his train of thought. He pulled out the car key and began to guard around him.
From time to time, some passers-by would point their fingers at Wang Jingyun. Wang Jingyun looked like she had a short-circuit.
About an hour later, Wang Jingyun seemed to have understood something. He stood up and returned to the car."Let's go to Teacher Tang Rui's place. I think we can find some clues there!”
"Alright!" Lin Yong started the car.
Tang Rui's home was a small apartment on the 17th floor of a large building.
Originally, with his academic status, he was worthy of the villa provided by the government.
One reason was that Tang Rui didn't ask for it himself, and the other was that Tang Rui had a bad relationship with the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Therefore, some of the treatment that should have been given was ignored.
When they got into the elevator, Wang Jingyun suddenly asked Lin Yong,""What kind of person do you think Teacher Tang Rui is?”
" According to the information collected by the National Security Bureau," Lin Yong raised his head and looked at Wang Jingyun, carefully choosing his words.
"He is a real scientist! He had a broad mind! He is a researcher worthy of our respect!”
"Then, do you think that if someone like my teacher sensed the possible danger of mankind, why would he not tell us? Or rather, why did the teacher hide the truth from everyone?”
Wang Jingyun asked another question.
"From my previous experience in handling cases, Tang Rui might be worried that once the truth is announced to the world, it might bring some consequences that he doesn't want to see, or he might be threatened."
Lin Yong answered subconsciously.
"Impossible!" " You know," Wang Jingyun shook her head." What threat is more terrifying than death?" My teacher isn't even afraid of death, so what is he afraid of?”
After Wang Jingyun finished speaking, she took a step out of the elevator.
"Yes, I am!" Lin Yong looked at Wang Jingyun's back with a puzzled expression.
"What is Tang Rui afraid of?"
