Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 135: Martian Iron Curtain
Zhang Yuan took a long breath and clicked on the last and most recent report.
"...Dear Earth Age, friends of the Golden Sun, hello everyone."
"I have to admit that the earth civilization has entered an unprecedented bottleneck period."
The tone of this report is not as peaceful and proud as it was hundreds of years ago, but rather worried.
"All kinds of crises have strangled our throats!"
"Unfortunately to tell you that last month, there was an unprecedented strike, which has stretched for four planets!"
"The workers' anger burned throughout the solar system, and there were two vicious air leaks. 3,439 people were suffocated to death, two space cities were paralyzed, and 17 interstellar ports stopped operating!"
"We expect that because of this terrorist activity, the GDP of the entire civilization will drop by 1.1%!"
"There have also been large-scale demonstrations on the earth. The people at the bottom are asking for higher salaries, enjoying better medical services, and asking the prices of houses on the earth to be reduced..."
"Are they wrong, they are not wrong... But obviously, this can't be done. The most high-end service is destined to be used by only a small number of rich people."
"The high property prices on the earth have long bound the entire financial system, coupled with strong market demand, it is impossible to arbitrarily reduce prices. All economic behaviors are market-oriented and do not occur due to the will of the government. Any transfer. What's more, the redistribution of benefits will involve vested interests, including elites who have made more contributions to civilization."
"They cannot sacrifice their own interests to help others. The obstacles in silence are more powerful than the bursts of power."
"Dear friends of the Earth Age and the Golden Sun, I have to admit that this crisis is different from the past."
"The tsunami did not come suddenly, but has been brewing for hundreds of years."
"...The Titan government and Europa government have jointly reached an energy production limit agreement, trying to increase the price of nuclear fusion raw materials to alleviate internal economic conflicts."
"The global economic circle naturally cannot tolerate the vital energy supply and is constrained by the other side..."
"Military orders from various countries are increasing at an annual rate of 20%..."
"It is difficult to predict what this data will eventually bring..."
"The farthest Titan base is 6-8 astronomical units from the earth. A spacecraft used to take one or two months to travel. Such a huge space gap has caused a series of difficulties in management. The earth The influence of the economic circle has been weakened a lot over there."
"We don't know what the future will be, but we just hope that our civilization can pass this level safely..."
"War will not happen easily, but it will not never happen."
This is the latest report, followed by a lot of political news.
Interviews, temptations, confrontations, mediations, condemnations, etc. among the top leaders of all planets.
An iron curtain with Mars as the dividing line is falling.
Zhang Yuan sighed for a long time, and the worst thing happened. The earth civilization has entered a trough.
In the beginning, what was the reason for the outbreak of the Second World War? It's because of the economy!
Three wars, four wars? It is also because of the economic problems caused by the energy crisis.
He doesn't think that war can solve the problem. Since the development of interstellar weapons, the power has been very powerful, and destruction is much easier than defense. But I don't think that war will definitely not happen, because war is always the best way to shift class contradictions.
If every politician has the top wisdom, he will soon reach an equilibrium in mutual compromise. Unfortunately, this phenomenon can only happen when both parties have extremely high political wisdom and transparent information.
The angry low-level people don't know what "sense" is, and will vote for leaders with more extreme thoughts because of provocative language.
The state is a violent machine. When it shows enough power in external conflicts, internal noises are of little importance. In this case, extreme means votes. Populism means that you must lead the younger brother to beat others. If you don’t beat others, you will be overthrown by yourself.
War hasn't happened for a long time. Many people have forgotten the cruelty of war. They just feel that they can get something they want through violence.
The development of history always has its inherent laws. According to the viewpoint of new civilization historiography, mediocre civilizations and insufficient internal strength will naturally not be able to escape this law, and technology will not work no matter how advanced it is.
Human wisdom and the pursuit of profit in genetic nature are not enough to control the direction of the entire civilization. It means that after the long-term development of the entire civilization, the ending will be stable within a partial solution, either stepping into an infinite loop or entering a steady state, with worse choices all around, and it is no longer possible to escape.
This is the latest report, there is no more.
If you want to know the follow-up, you have to wait.
Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, wondering how to describe his current mood.
Remember the words of the civilization leader when the Earth Age set sail.
"...I hope you can use your own wisdom to solve the problem of mediocrity that plagues human civilization and even the entire universe..."
"We will use our own history to illuminate the road ahead of you."
Now, this period of history has appeared.
At that time, Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to the speech of the civilized leader. He thought it was just an ordinary speech with mostly formalism, but now, he understands. The pessimists have long anticipated today's ending.
Mankind has solved one difficulty after another through technology, from interstellar migration, to aging, to the issue of raising babies, to the relationship between man and machine...
People have overcome countless difficulties and walked tremblingly to this day~IndoMTL.com~ But history has risen up and been repeating itself. When the days are good, everyone talks about drinks and enjoys themselves. When the times are hard, they part ways and take care of themselves. After a long time of comfort, you won't have a hard life, so in order to live a good life again, I started to raise the banner of selfishness to devour others.
This is human.
Marx explained early on that human beings cannot continue to revolutionize science and technology. Therefore, this time the crisis is difficult to solve with technology.
Unless mankind invents the curvature spacecraft in an instant, can reach the outer planet in an instant, find another earth, and open up a larger colony to solve the current crisis.
However, the current human beings cannot...
Zhang Yuan sighed again, sat on the stool silently, closing his eyes.
I hope that the earth’s civilization can tide over this difficulty safely.
Hope.
