Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 237: The footsteps of history
In the past, the residential communities in ancient times were based on the tribal system of clans, dotted on the livable zone.
Because of the comfortable environment, coupled with the long sleep time and short wake-up time, it is quite difficult to start a war, and there are no ambitious big figures in the entire civilization.
So during the hundreds of thousands of years of ancient times, there has never been a unified community, nor has it formed a large country.
This kind of division is actually quite detrimental to the development of a civilization. Without much exchange, communication, and trade, at most only the connection of some "bard", civilization is like a stagnant pool, so how can it change?
It's no wonder that Gliese civilization has been in a state of ignorance for hundreds of thousands of years before the appearance of the "Enlightener". But now it's different. As time goes by, Gliese people like these elegant "arts" with almost unlimited potential!
They began to spontaneously yearn for the so-called holy mountain, Goer City, where the "initiators" once stayed!
Especially some smart Gliese people, after making new academic discoveries, are eager to communicate with more smart people. There are only a few geniuses in a tribe. If you communicate with fools, if the other party doesn't understand it, you won't be so happy.
So, a mighty migration spontaneously occurred!
I have to say that this kind of social change is very peculiar and fundamentally different from human beings. Human beings gather together for a better survival, and Gliese people gather together to better discuss "art"!
More and more tribes gather in the "Holy Mountain", not only will there be collisions of ideas, but also various contradictions, frictions and related trade activities will naturally occur.
When the population exceeds 50,000, the rules, ethics, and production methods of primitive tribes are no longer able to accommodate such a large population. Naturally, greater changes are needed.
So, in this historical background, the first recognized wise man in the entire civilization, the great man of the era named "Ganduo", is long overdue.
"Ganduo", the most intelligent wise man at the time, a great mathematician, discoverer of the law of buoyancy, agriculturist, and the first consul of Goer City, guided the development of various agriculture and fed more s population.
Great men are called great men because their eyes go far beyond the limitations of the times.
Ganduo is deeply aware of the limitations of his own civilization. Compared with the great Enlightenment civilization, this flaw is a bit terrifying.
Because the "initiator" never rests!
The Gliese people have to sleep for ten days and then wake up for two days. Everyone sleeps when they want to sleep, and wakes up when they think of it.
This kind of work and rest habits makes the organization of the entire civilization extremely poor, and even educating the next generation has become very difficult.
Imagine that even when you go to school, the waking period of students is scattered, how can it be possible to pass on knowledge on a large scale? Do all rely on self-study?
In addition, the ideology of civilization tends to be lazy, and it is really...too difficult to become a powerful civilization like the "initiator".
As the first governor in Goertek, Gando has worked hard to publish a series of policies, unifying weights and measures, currency, developing agriculture, and perfecting corresponding laws.
The most controversial is a policy on the work and rest system.
Ganduo believes that only when the work and rest of all Gliese people are unified, can they concentrate their efforts on major things and make Goer City stronger!
This is a very simple truth, but it is very difficult, it is really difficult...
A natural government that is not unified through violence and is voted by the people can exert very little power, and how strong is its execution ability?
While witnessing this period of history, Zhang Yuan was deeply moved in his heart. The difference between civilization and civilization is really too great!
Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the people on earth have a natural routine of work and rest, and there is no need for unity at all.
Even all creatures on the earth have their own routines of work and rest due to the rotation of the planet.
As a result, this civilization did not work. The planet was locked by the tide, and the eternal dusk was outside, and the light inside the underground city was always dim. Coupled with the relatively safe environment, they have no concept of time at all.
What a "regular work and rest" is simply contrary to nature!
Not letting people sleep is the same as terribly!
Ganduo, the wise man who tried to go against his "nature," despite his great contributions to civilization and high prestige, he has also accumulated many political opponents in his 100-year ruling career. After it enforced a unified work and rest policy, it was finally seized by its political opponents. The angry masses almost drove the consul from power in a riotous posture.
"Ganduo" spent the rest of his life in displacement. No tribe would dare to accept it, and no tribe would accept it.
Zhang Yuan heard two surrounding scientists whispering, "German City...is the underground city where our diplomatic team is now?"
"Yes, it should be the most powerful city in this civilization... the center of science and culture."
The progress of history is tortuous.
Until the end...when the "regular work and rest system" was really born, this wise man named Gando was renamed by later generations.
It's just been many, many years since the death of this great man...
Zhang Yuan sighed slightly, how can human beings be like this?
Socrates was sentenced to death by a people’s court. Faced with the threat of death, he did not flinch. He only left a famous saying: "Now, the time has come for us to partake. I step towards death and you continue to live; however, No one knows which of these two results is more pleasant, except for God."
Jordanno Bruno, in the face of the burning fire and the mad and fierce believers, sonorously and powerfully rebuked the church: "When announcing my sentence, you are much more afraid than I accept it!"
***Impressive on the gallows...
Being half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a lunatic. The idea beyond the times is always not so easy to be accepted.
Li Zhendong sitting next to him commented: "Hey, but it’s not surprising to think about it carefully... Life is always used to staying in its comfort zone and is not so willing to change. If you are left upside down for nothing, you I definitely won’t accept it either." The fastest update on the computer::/
"Democracy is not good at this point. If you want to change a problem, you need the consent of the majority of citizens. In fact, most of the people are very stupid... how to put it, it is very naive and stubborn. If it is a dictatorship , It can be enforced all at once."
"Dictatorship?" Zhang Yuan laughed, "Where is the dictatorship, there are only some security personnel, and even the army is scattered."
Li Zhendong said: "Hey~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, I pay more attention to the civilization called the'enlighter'. Through a four-two-handed approach, it completely changed the historical process of the Gliese civilization. The enlightenment...how Say, I should have done a good thing?"
Zhang Yuan nodded: "The good or bad state of a civilization can only be measured by the entropy function, which is a bit complicated to calculate. However, I also think that the initiator has done a good thing."
"But the darling of a planet is not the darling of the universe. The ultimate creature on the planet is probably just the elementary in the universe..."
"...Evolution, always only evolves to enough, but not to perfection. When enough is used, evolution will stagnate..."
"The structure of our human body has not changed for a long time..."
Compared with the earth, the survival pressure of the Gliese civilization is too small, and the comfort zone is too comfortable. It is very, very difficult to change.
The rest of the history will be simple. After the wise man "Ganduo" was exiled, because the work and rest habits of all the population have not been unified, there is no way to concentrate on major tasks, and all kinds of chaos are still going on...
