Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 238: Technology stagnation
With the passage of time, the successors of "Goer City" began to have a headache. A larger population has great benefits, but if management fails to keep up, it will become a hidden danger.
A large-scale project, such as a water diversion channel, or mining marble, to open up a larger underground living space, will last for a hundred or even five hundred years!
Even if the Gliese people have a long lifespan and work efficiency is not very good, these projects are really too slow and outrageous, resulting in increasing dissatisfaction among the people.
But dissatisfied means dissatisfied. No matter how powerful the archon is, it is impossible to change this chaotic result.
The root cause is work and rest!
More and more Gliese people realize that Gando's idea of "planning and rest" is actually correct. But the opposition force is still strong, and many stubborn Gliese people believe that dormancy is their own freedom, and this freedom should not be deprived.
Since mandatory work and rest are not advisable, in order to solve the chaotic dormancy problem, the clever consul has come up with more "curve and save the country" methods. For example, certain art performances will be opened at specific time periods, and schools will also School starts at a specific time to indirectly guide people to sleep.
But this kind of guidance is too slow and too slow. After thousands of years, it only has a preliminary effect.
This kind of chaos continued until another "Kahn" wise man was born. His ideas were similar to Gando: Gliese people are too lazy and too idle, and there is generally no pressure in life. Where can the upward momentum come from?
It believes that in the past, the ideas of the senior executives and the common people were separated. For many people, science, including mathematics, is just a kind of elegant "art", and it has not been converted into productivity significantly at present, even if you don’t go to school. Studying is not a big deal, at least it is impossible to affect your life...
"Elegant art" such as science and mathematics, in the eyes of the governor, is the beauty of spring and white snow, and only a few smart people can understand the beauty. And smart people are generally high-level.
However, ordinary people are not interested in this type of "elegant art". They prefer popular arts such as drama, song and dance, so it is impossible to change their work and rest just because of learning "elegant art."
Kahn is a descendant of businessmen and is naturally very sensitive to the economy. He knows what ordinary people's lives are like.
What do ordinary people like?
Money!
Face!
The beautiful opposite sex!
And...a higher status!
It quickly promulgated a complete set of economic policies in an attempt to better promote commerce, especially the establishment of some large handicraft factories owned by the collective. In these factories, they must go to work and leave at the same time.
At the same time, the opening policy of the fair has been standardized. On certain days, there will be certain tax incentives.
People who follow a regular schedule will have more opportunities to obtain wealth; individuals who want to sleep as they please, stagger group activities, then have fewer opportunities to obtain wealth, and gradually become impoverished.
Gliese people, like humans, also yearn for a better life. If the sober period is completely staggered with the large forces, then life will undoubtedly be more troublesome.
Free sleep? No problem, as long as you can endure poverty.
Under the stimulus of this kind of economic interest, more and more Gliese people have begun to sleep in a unified way year after year...
The unified work and rest habits finally...
Formed.
The whole process took nearly ten thousand years!
A serious country, even if it is only the size of the city, compared with the scattered tribes, whether it is the system or the size of the population, it has great advantages.
The host on the stage said loudly and forcefully: "At this moment, the idle Gliese civilization finally ushered in its own period of rapid rise!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan always feels that the history of the entire civilization is very strange. The Gliese people of that period had a knowledge level equivalent to that of human civilization in the 18th to 19th centuries. They began to explore the threshold of chemistry and physics, and the result was unexpected. The nation has just been founded!
The problem of unified dormancy, all kinds of over and over, took tens of thousands of years, and he didn't know what to say.
"To say that they are stupid is not stupid. To say that they are smart is definitely not smart."
"Hey, when we look at primitive humans, we are also ignorant and uncivilized."
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, more Gliese people discovered that the original life that was already more satisfying actually has more room for improvement, for example, more exquisite food, more interesting entertainment methods, and more comfortable living places. etc.
The original cave where they lived is easy to collapse. I don't know how many Gliese people died because they were buried alive because of the cave collapse.
But now, the underground city of Goertek has been planned by architects, and reinforced with marble, which is comfortable and safe.
Furthermore, after the unification of work and rest, many group work is indeed much more convenient, especially some large-scale projects, which were unimaginable in the past.
If there is interest, there will be a driving force. After seeing the benefits, each country followed suit and appeared in the narrow residential belt.
It is not so much a country as a "city-state" gathered by a large population.
Naturally idle Gliese people have low reproductive capacity and do not like too much restraint. They generally adopt a "democratic system" that evolved from the primitive system. The citizens' assembly is the highest authority, and the leaders are elected by the people. To manage these city-states.
There is also a high degree of competition between city-states and city-states. Smart people will naturally know which city is good, which city is politically clear, has room for improvement, which city has a more comfortable climate to live in, which city is the capital of art, etc... …
Under this situation, the population will naturally migrate to better cities.
If there is competition, there is an upward motivation. One after another wise men appeared on this planet, began to perfect the system and the law, and put forward a higher level of morality.
And scientists try to reproduce the miracles brought by the "initiators", constantly explore nature, master the laws, and try to improve the productivity of the entire civilization...
It seems that the entire civilization seems to be thriving, with a high level of intelligence and a qualified ideology, it should soon break through the atmosphere and get out of its own planet!
But unfortunately...
A fatal flaw has appeared!
The oxygen content of this planet is very low~IndoMTL.com~ almost none.
The absence of oxidants means that there is no natural combustion phenomenon, no combustion, and the development of various industries is extremely difficult. The Gliese people can only control a small amount of simple natural resources such as wind and water power. For example, dig a wind tunnel, and then use wood fiber plants in it to make a windmill; make watermills near some underground rivers...
But these energy sources are always unstable, not easy to control, and cannot really advance the times. They urgently need a more powerful energy source.
Fortunately, the Gliese people already know the existence of electricity, and they know that lightning in the sky can be used. With some enlightenment given by the "initiator", it is possible to jump directly from the stone age to the electricity age, even if......
This step is very, very difficult.
But it is a pity that this group of Gliese people have not taken this crucial step for a full 150,000 years.
Until...the arrival of the second batch of aliens...
