Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 406: Several problems

　　 "Science" does not mean praise or criticism, it is just a way to understand the world and study problems. To give a simple example, when people say that Chinese medicine is not a science, there is no derogation at all, because it is a method of accumulating experience. But saying that Chinese medicine is completely ineffective is a slander that slanders the facts.

　　 I won’t go into this issue for the time being. At least scientism is more in line with objective laws than empiricism, and it can promote the development of productive forces. This is enough.

　　As far as the current Taipu civilization is concerned, since the world is divided into more than a thousand countries, large and small, and their respective cultures are different, it is very difficult to truly unify the world and generate cohesion that belongs to the entire civilization.

　　Under this prerequisite, the professor on the stage came to the conclusion: "...So we speculate that in the next few hundred years, it will not be possible for Tapstar to be fully integrated. It may happen. A country similar to the country of Xia on the earth, united with several big countries to break out of its own planet."

　　"As for the remaining countries, what should be abandoned can only be abandoned."

　　"This is just one of the possibilities... It is more likely that you can't break out of your own planet, and you can't even give birth to controlled nuclear fusion, and become a mediocre civilization standing in place."

　　 deduced here, many people sighed silently.

　　In the 20th and 21st centuries of mankind, the major powers assisted Asian, African and Latin American countries only to obtain economic growth points. If there are not enough benefits, why should they provide assistance? If you really reach the point where you can develop outer planets, the pie that can be divided is too big, and there is no need to consider the issue of internal games in the planet, and there is no need to pay attention to the life and death of small and poor countries. Everyone is too late to develop space. Who cares about the poverty and backwardness on the other side of the planet?

　　 A little humanitarian help is actually useless. If the entire cultural level is not good, and the spiritual core is not good, this kind of country will not be able to rise after all.

　　Between culture and culture, there is a distinction between advanced and barbaric. If a certain culture cannot promote the progress of the entire society, it is likely to be a dross culture. The most important thing is whether the people have the courage to abandon it.

　　 "The above is the general history of the Taipu civilization." The scientist bowed slightly, and then stepped off the stage.

　　This piece of historical data is very helpful to the historiography of the new human civilization. It is not like the Riley civilization. It is just some religious classics. It is specific to certain years and the appearance of certain heroes. It also includes certain The birth of these ideologies is truly valuable.

　　Many historians of the new civilization have begun to calculate, deduct, and verify this subject with enthusiasm, while predicting the next step of this civilization.

　　 Then, another geologist came onto the stage and gave an important survey result: "Analysis of the possible traces of the Enlightenment Civilization on the Star of Tapu".

　　 This result directly aroused the interest of many people, and even Zhang Yuan was shocked.

　　 Li Zhendong said on the side: "I can basically calculate the style of conduct of the enlightened civilization. They usually predict what kind of difficulties a certain civilization will develop to a certain stage. Then, in response to this difficulty, give With a little help."

　　"As for whether this civilization can develop to this stage and be able to cross this level, they don't care. The difficulties encountered by the Taipu civilization...a lot, really a lot!"

　　 "It should be like this." A deputy captain next door responded: "There are so many civilizations in the universe, how can we take care of them all?"

　　 The same is true of the opinions of a large number of human scientists, so I focused on the difficulties faced by the Taipu civilization.

　　 First of all, it is the integration of civilizations. From the result, the Taipu civilization is completely divided, and more than a thousand countries have developed to the present, and there is no possibility of integration.

　　 So it can be considered that the Enlightenment Civilization did not pay attention to this point, or that it has taken certain measures, but ultimately failed.

　　The second point is the industrial problem under high gravity environment, especially heavy industry, which seems a bit difficult and slow to develop. Regardless of whether they can make big airboats, big ships, but the entire process took more than ten times the time of human beings!

　　 After the industrial revolution broke out, science and technology should be developed rapidly. As a result, the Tap people discovered that the power of machines is not as powerful as traditional livestock. It took them hundreds of years to improve the steam engine.

　　 "This problem is easy to understand." A mechanical expert explained, "A simple example, a steam turbine, a rotating steam power plant, under different gravity environments, the steam flow direction produces huge differences, pressure flow It needs to be changed to gravity flow, and the impeller must be changed accordingly to ensure the balance of force."

　　The higher the gravity, the more difficult and complicated it is for the heavy industry.

　　The reason why heavy industry was moved to other low-gravity planets in the later period of earth civilization is because the low-gravity environment itself has its own advantages. For example, in a non-gravity environment, 3D printing perfect metal products, the key places do not need welding, directly cut the interface and press them together, this technology can be used for high-precision metal products or jewelry inlays, and can also be used for Industrialized production of integrated metal casing.

　　 But on Earth, this is impossible.

　　The gravitational force of 　　Tepu is far superior to that of the earth, and various equipment and devices can only be made very rough, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the performance is not high.

　　 This is the second difficulty encountered by the Taipu civilization.

　　 The third difficulty is the lack of rare earth elements in this large planet!

　　 This is almost a fatal blow for some cutting-edge industries~IndoMTL.com~!

　　"We investigated the technological system of the Taipu civilization and found that this planet lacks rare earths! Especially heavy rare earths!"

　　 There are two kinds of rare earths, one is heavy rare earth and the other is light rare earth. Heavy rare earths are more important and valuable than light rare earths.

　　The land area of ​​this planet is much larger than that of the earth, but the lack of rare earth raw materials makes it difficult to improve the performance of many materials.

　　 The geologist played a simulation video of the natural birth of the planet on the screen and explained: "Why is there a lack of rare earths? It is mainly because of high gravity... Everyone knows that rare earths are mostly atomic weight. Larger heavy elements tend to accumulate over time and sink to the underground core."

　　 The planet is too big, its gravity is too big, and it has existed for more than five billion years, which has caused a lot of heavy elements to sink to the ground. Therefore, the proportion of heavy rare earths in the crust is lower than that of the earth.

　　 Then of course the Tap people are miserable.

　　Zhang Yuan sighed: "If this civilization can mine the earth's core, there is no shortage of rare earths, but the problem is that even we don't have such a technology to mine the earth's core, of course they can't."

　　 In fact, even the amount of gold, silver, copper, and iron is rarer in the crust of Taipu Star. Fortunately, these are common minerals after all, and the large bases distributed on the surface do not affect normal development.

　　 But there is no rare earth, but it is directly fatal, greatly delaying the development of cutting-edge technology.
