   The next valley turned out to be the valley of primitive human ancestors.   
      
   The guardians kept them on a planet and gave them food and water for free, but   
   each   
   time the natives stoned one of the guardians in the process.   
      
   When the last guardian was left, he mounted and erected a tower that was   
   generating   
   the shield from the sun of the neighbouring Red Star, the water production   
   facility and   
   the food supplement generation plant. It was all powered by a battery pack   
   that could   
   last for 120 years and power cells.   
      
   When the guardian eventually departed, the natives started worshipping the   
   tower that   
   gave them food and water, and in belief that it will not work otherwise, they   
   started offering   
   it a "daily sacrifice". Soon the basement of the tower was full of skulls.   
      
   The next generation of the natives was even more afraid of the tower, and they   
   started   
   developing plans to disable it and destroy it. Then would pile up on stunned   
   bodies of   
   their predecessor, because the last guard set the setting to "stun" and not   
   "kill".   
      
   After the natives learned that they will not die, they started developing ever   
   more clever   
   ways to disable the tower. Eventually, one of them threw himself into a shaft   
   jumping   
   from the pile of stunned bodies and short-circuited the system.   
      
   The shield immediately failed and they started to feel the effect of the Red   
   Star on their   
   skin, and soon they realised that water and food were no longer coming from   
   the place   
   they took it for granted ...   
      
   I marveled and proceeded to the next valley ...
