Martin stared in shock at the changes below. Beside him, Lu Youqi cried out, "What happened to this world?"
Heart Gold was rapidly taking over the entire world. Humanity had still failed to control this divine spark, allowing its flames to burn onto themselves.
The emergence of Heart Gold had drained all of humanity's technological potential. Materials that had once been impossible to produce could now be made easily and conveniently with Heart Gold, so no one bothered researching those strange and unusual materials anymore.
Much of humanity's technological progress had come from wild imagination and chance.
Who would have thought graphene could be peeled out with tape?
Who would have thought X-rays would appear on a fluorescent screen a meter away from a cathode-ray tube?
Who would have thought a Culture Dish of staphylococcus would be contaminated and inhibited by penicillium?
Human technology had flourished in countless forms precisely because everyone had different ideas and thoughts when faced with problems.
If everyone thought of the same method whenever they encountered a problem, humanity would never have created so many strange inventions.
Before Heart Gold appeared, humanity had been immensely creative. But after Heart Gold appeared, that creativity became confined within a single framework.
People's thinking shifted from "How do we solve this problem?" to "How do we solve this problem with Heart Gold?"
The divine spark was simply too dazzling. People had once debated which parts of their prey tasted best, but after obtaining fire, they began discussing cooking methods instead.
The appearance of fire showed humanity a direction, but it also made them overlook every other direction.
That was what happened to the humans of this world. Heart Gold gave them so many surprises that every other scientific discovery seemed dim and colorless by comparison.
