Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 236: 200,000 years of history
I have to say that the average intelligence of Gliese people seems to be slightly higher than that of humans. Under the influence of a specific environment, their brains have evolved to be more refined, energy-saving, and efficient.
Almost every individual has a strong sense of number and image perception, and is a natural artist.
Biological brains, like various types of CPUs and GPUs, have similar functions, but the structure and frequency are different, there will always be a difference in performance.
In the evolution of living things, there is no set evolutionary goal, just to be able to survive better, which means that the birth of wisdom has always been an accident. Moreover, evolution is a path of no return, which can only be repaired and cannot be overthrown.
Thus, whoever makes fewer mistakes on this road of no return has a better brain.
Unfortunately, because of some evolutionary influences, coupled with a life mode without any pressure to survive, even if the Gliese people have smart minds, they do not spend these energy on serious scientific research.
In the long ancient times, they have been addicted to all kinds of weird arts, including painting, music, sculpture and religious culture...
Inborn wilderness phobia, this civilization has no ambition to explore nature at all. Individuals who want to see the stars are all ruthlessly eliminated by the typhoon that is born every time.
The vast universe is called the "dwelling place of demons" by some primitive religions. The Gliese people in ancient times believed that demons brought endless gusts. Only Mother Earth is a warm and safe harbor.
Under the influence of this culture, almost all individuals like to hide under the ground and enjoy a peaceful day.
A professor of the history of new civilizations is on the stage interpreting the investigation report sent by Wang Junpeng and others. This report describes the days of the ancient Gliese civilization in considerable detail.
"...Compared with the life of human beings during the ancient apes, their life is too superior. Even to the extreme!"
"It is already at the top of the planet’s food chain. Except for natural disasters, there are not too many natural enemies. Coupled with clans-based tribal life, as long as they don’t encounter major natural and man-made disasters, there can be no too many natural disasters. Survival crisis."
"Well, in this case, I think the probability of getting out of the comfort zone is very low."
In addition, the reproductive ability of this group of guys is not high, even if you let go of life, you can't give birth to a lot of people.
There are even some smart individuals who realize that as long as they don't have too many people and eat up all the surrounding food, they can stay in one place forever, even eliminating migration!
So in ancient times, these guys began to control the population spontaneously in order to pursue a better quality of life. Anyway, the children are all oviparous and raised by all individuals. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal to give birth to a few more or fewer, as long as the entire tribe is not wiped out...
However, life as a unit of tribe always has some trading needs, especially... the need for gene transmission.
Inbreeding can cause a variety of genetic defects, so genes give them a natural instinct to like the new and dislike the old. Females in the same tribe will always look very tired when they see too much, while members of other tribes are different. , It is easier to bring about the desire for reproduction.
Under this situation, a very peculiar profession was born...the bard!
In the ancient and middle ancient times, the bard has always been the most desirable and elegant profession.
These brave bards have the ability to distinguish the weather in one hand. They can spread various arts and trade between various tribes. For them, the more critical and attractive thing is to spread genes. .
Reproduction activities can bring pleasure.
This kind of gene transmission in remote areas has invisibly reduced the probability of inbreeding...
So a completely stable primitive civilization was formed.
The birth of science is not an inevitable event of civilization. It requires a more demanding environment and a more rigorous ideology. The Gliese civilization, who is addicted to various entertainment arts, has a very low probability of giving birth to science.
Time is like this day by day...
Year...
Ten thousand years and ten thousand years have passed...
This ignorant and carefree era has continued...
Continue...
Until 200,000 years ago, an advanced scientific research spacecraft passed by here, breaking the deadlock of Gliese civilization.
The alien civilization discovered that this intelligent race, which has given birth to language, writing, currency, various religions, and even excellent art and culture, has stayed in the most primitive tribal stage for a long time, and even a country has not been established.
I am even more surprised that their smart brains have not yet given birth to natural science to improve their living environment.
This extraterrestrial civilization, respected as the "Enlightener", may feel that this race has been ignorant and a little wasteful.
So I took some measures and opened a new chapter in Gliese civilization!
What did the "initiator" do, and how did it think about it? Because the age is too old, it is really impossible to verify it. There are almost 10,000 opinions about various historical materials of unknown origin. But one thing is similar. According to the documentation of various clans, the stay of this alien civilization should be very short, no more than 2 months.
These two months have brought earth-shaking changes to the Gliese civilization!
First of all, the first point is that a large number of primitive religions that hindered social development have all disappeared!
The so-called "demons' residence~IndoMTL.com~ unexpectedly appeared a god-like civilization... Various weird magical creations are called "science", and of course all lies are self-defeating.
This kind of power derived from science can even overcome natural disasters!
It's just...unimaginable.
The second point is that mathematics and natural science have become the highest level of "art" under this kind of nature worship of "powerful power".
A large number of Gliese people are elegant in learning these difficult knowledge.
In this way, the "initiators" stayed for a short period of time, and a storm-like thought change appeared on the long and narrow residential belt, and the bards were ecstatically carrying new ideas and spreading to various residential areas. .
Residences have begun to cross-spread with each other again, and "the beauty of mathematics and natural science" has become popular. Everyone is studying circles, ellipses, conic sections, the principle of leverage, buoyancy...
This newly opened era is called the Middle Ages!
