Overview of Indigenous Civilization
However, although Zhu Pete decided to complete the mission in a simple and brutal way, when the next day came, he still had a Security Department soldier in Tactical Armor bring A Tu back to the human base.
Of course, it wasn't about bringing them back to eat and drink well and treat them like royalty.
Most people don't have a good impression of aliens, so after A Tu was brought back to the human base by the soldiers, he was handed over to the scientists at the Biology Research Institute.
What the scientists do next is none of their business.
As for the matter of treating the Sacrificial Elder that he had previously discussed with A Tu, Zhu Pete had long forgotten about it. At this moment, he was preparing to personally go to the surface of the planet to carry out the mission Yue Yuan had given him.
As the one who issued the mission, Yue Yuan naturally knew about it. He even knew what the scientists did after the Security Department guard handed A Tu over to Biology Research Institute.
However, he did not comment.
In fact, Yue Yuan also understood that if viewed from a Dog-Headed People standpoint, A Tu Zhu Pete, himself, and even those biological research scientists were all unkind and immoral, and could even be described as utterly depraved.
However, Yue Yuan had no psychological burden, as did the ground biological research group led by Shi Lifen. After receiving A Tu, they immediately found several experimental biologists to conduct various experiments on A Tu, in the spirit of not wasting anything.
They used everything the Dog-Headed People had, including X-Ray Scan, Full Body CT Scans, Brain Scan, blood tests, and various physical skills tests.
Because Yue Yuan, who was aboard the Lyra, had encountered A Tu himself, he paid special attention to the development of the matter. Like most people, the experimental biologists had absolutely no sympathy for A Tu, that Dog-Headed Alien, and the outcome was self-evident.
It's definitely beyond saving.
While A Tu was being used for experiments, the rest of the biologist team accelerated their research on the Dog-Headed People. In the following period, they frequently launched operations, capturing Dog-Headed People across the continent for experiments. Of course, in order not to affect Zhu Pete's plans, the biologists did not capture them in large numbers, but rather secretly abducted some lone Dog-Headed People.
Several days later, a report on the Dog-Headed People indigenous civilization was presented to Yue Yuan.
The report does not begin by describing Dog-Headed People, but rather by presenting a viewpoint—that civilizations are likely commonplace in this universe, and Life Planet are extremely prevalent.
This explains why humanity encountered so many civilizations and Life Planet during its short voyage of just over a thousand years.
What follows is a lengthy study of the indigenous Dog-Headed People.
First, the social stage in which the Dog-Headed People live is already established: a stage where tribes and slavery coexist. A Tu, whom we encountered earlier, belonged to a tribe in a remote region.
Those cities were states that had already formed the initial state structure.
Humans dispatched many transport ships equipped with small drones to observe the various cities along this continent for several days, discovering that these cities, which possessed the characteristics of states, were all under the system of slavery.
Those simple cities were the capitals of these slave-owning states. Outside the capitals, there were many smaller settlements, which were the territories of those slave-owning states.
About 700 kilometers east of A Tu's tribe lies a relatively powerful inland slave-owning state, but due to geographical barriers, its influence has not spread to A Tu's tribe.
Due to limited transportation and information access, this is also true for most countries.
Basically, only countries in the same region are aware of each other's existence. However, if there are any obstacles such as high mountains, they will not know that the other exists.
This is why countries separated by mountains use different languages and have vastly different writing systems.
However, in terms of language and writing, they generally followed the pattern of similar cultures within the same region. The two coastal kingdoms at opposite ends of the Pangu Continent had absolutely no communication with each other.
The country that Lu Xiaofen's team found earlier was a country 700 kilometers east of the A Tu Tribe, and the script and language used by the translators were also from that country.
This country is a landlocked country, and the writing system it uses is an alphabetic script, somewhat similar to alphabetic scripts on Earth, with each sound consisting of multiple letters.
Ten thousand miles to the south of this country lies a towering mountain range. On the other side of the mountain range is another different cultural region. In this region, the Dog-Headed People are also divided into many kingdoms, and the script they use belongs to a very primitive pictographic script.
Countries within the same region may use different writing systems, but they all belong to the same large system. Whether these writing systems are merging or not remains to be seen until further investigation is conducted; gathering intelligence solely through small drones is far from sufficient to determine this.
Humans have also obtained a lot of data about the Dog-Headed People themselves.
First of all, the theoretical lifespan of Dog-Headed People is very short, only about 40 Earth years. Since this is a theoretical age, virtually no Dog-Headed People can live to 40 years old; 30 years old is considered a long life, and most die of natural causes around the age of 25.
However, the Dog-Headed People reach adulthood very quickly. One year on Earth is the infancy of Dog-Headed People, five years is the age of an adult Dog-Headed People, five to fifteen years is the prime of life, and after fifteen years, their physical abilities begin to decline.
The A Tu I met before was an eight-year-old Dog-Headed People.
Perhaps due to the planet's gravity, the Dog-Headed People's bone density is much lower than that of humans, and their bones are mainly composed of calcium.
They are less resistant to impact than humans, and their brain capacity is between 1200-1400 ml. In terms of reproductive characteristics, they are dioecious, viviparous, and have a gestation period of approximately two years.
Viviparous, but not lactating.
Unlike premature human infants, their offspring are born at maturity, meaning they can eat the staple food of their species from birth, rather than needing to be fed by their Mother Body.
Therefore, neither females nor males have breasts.
Therefore, the male and female Dog-Headed People do not look very different from each other. Both are covered in yellow hair and do not have obvious secondary sexual characteristics like humans and Kuntai People.
However, their primary sexual characteristics are not much different from those of most mammals on Earth, and they are all close friends.
Yue Yuan slowly looked away from the report, then closed his Personal Terminal, stood up from his seat, and went to the porthole to look at the pale blue planet.
Looking at this beautiful planet, the information about the Dog-Headed People in the report flashed through Yue Yuan's mind, and he murmured, "Aliens, are we humans now considered evil aliens?"
