Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 249: Next history

"Can you speculate on the cause of the outbreak of civil strife?" Gan Yaduo paused for a while, looking at Zhang Yuan leisurely.

It has seen part of the development of mankind, and there have been far more wars than the Gliese people. The complexity of history is also much more complicated than that of Gliese people.

Zhang Yuan carefully studied and calculated, and tasted the historical inevitability.

He said: "I think there are many reasons, but the main reason is that the management system, ideology, especially the distribution system, cannot keep up with the sudden productivity."

"Yes, it is."

Preliminary electrification means that nuclear power can be used to generate electricity and various substances can be produced, but it does not mean that resources have been produced. This is the Stone Age. Under such a poor and white situation, there are too many things to be produced.

There is a question of who gets rich first and who gets rich later.

No matter how powerful the Universal Factory is, there are only 13 units. As a powerful 3D printer, even if the production capacity is very strong, it is definitely not cost-effective to directly produce living materials.

The best way is to use a universal factory to produce various machines to cooperate with the expansion of production, so that productivity can be greatly increased.

So, it is impossible to produce the material resources that all Gliese people need at once, and it is impossible to realize a prosperous modern life for all people at once.

However, under the selfishness of some individuals, all the productivity of the universal factory is not used to produce the means of production. Some high-ranking nobles have taken the lead in enjoying life in the electricity age.

So there is a huge contrast.

Be aware... It was the Stone Age, and many Gliese people were still grazing in the fields!

Originally, poverty was widespread, and productivity was low. No matter how rich the rich are, there is only that way. Moreover, under the social public support system, wealth is accumulated in clans, which is equivalent to an alternative collective economy. Once an individual dies in old age, this part of wealth will be released again to the society or his own clan, so individuals and The gap between the rich and the poor is not particularly large among individuals.

The rich can only raise a few illegitimate children secretly and pass on a small amount of their own wealth. The members of the clan turn a blind eye to this phenomenon. Who makes them capable of making money?

As for entertainment, people with high IQ play with math and other elegant things, while ordinary people do some sculpture, painting, singing and acting... Anyway, everyone plays their own way and does not interfere with each other.

But it's different now...

The gap between the Stone Age and the Electricity Age is so big that it is a bit outrageous, and it can't be described as earth-shaking. New lifestyle, entertainment, new food, clothing, place of residence, food, clothing, housing and transportation have all undergone brand-new changes!

Such a change also means that the gap between the rich and the poor, which was still tolerable, has suddenly changed!

At the beginning of these new material resources, only a small number of people will be able to enjoy them, and there is no way to fully popularize them. Therefore, the original population with low social status suddenly developed an extremely unbalanced mentality.

Zhang Yuan tapped his finger lightly: "I understand, it is because the huge gap between rich and poor brought by the universal factory has saved energy for civil strife. Well, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Stone Age and the electricity age is also The big one is a bit too much."

There is a gap between the rich and the poor within a civilization. This thing is very normal, because there is a gap between the abilities of individuals and individuals, and there is no way to live inferior to others.

But the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the more turbulent a society is.

Because of the emergence of the Universal Factory, in just two or three years, the "Gini Index" of the Gliese Civilization suddenly soared to the sky. Naturally, it is not something the people at the bottom can tolerate.

Although the Gliese people are idle and free, it does not mean that they have no desire. Under the impact of massive material resources, everyone starts to move around. No one wants to continue the life of the primitive age, even if one day later...

Under the circumstance of people's desire to move around, the government departments that were not very strong in the past have drastically reduced their management and control capabilities, and their restraints on the citizens have become less and less. Even the managers themselves are unable to do anything under this huge impact. , The state of internal chaos.

In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there is also a second internal cause. The original handicraft-based economic system began to appear extremely outdated, and various economic policies and cultures have caused a lot of chaos.

To give a simple example, the original commodities on the market were limited to primary commodities such as grain, bone tools, and handicrafts, and the added value was relatively low. Many ordinary people rely on hand-made products to live their lives. After tens of thousands of years, they have been very stable.

Products produced from universal factories have higher added value. In this stone age, the added value of a car should even be so high that no one can afford it!

The impact of a large number of new products has caused everyone to want to buy the latest products.

The prices of the original products have fallen sharply, and low-value products cannot be sold at all. The chaos of monetary policy soon led to deflation and the economy was completely paralyzed.

The collapse of the economy has caused some handicraft merchants to lose money and start to be unable to support themselves.

With the development of science and technology, there are people who can't support themselves. This phenomenon is unthinkable but it is only natural. After all, the quality and working ability of the vast majority of ordinary people are still in the Stone Age, and there is no way to keep up with the trend of the times. They can only do such simple handicraft work, and now the handicrafts are suddenly worthless, and they are immediately unemployed.

The government at that time didn't have enough experience and organizational skills~IndoMTL.com~ to deal with this kind of economic crisis, and the response was always slow, which led to the whole crisis getting bigger and bigger.

These managements don’t have this kind of economics in their minds, and they don’t know why there are more and more impoverished people.

This group of poor people who have lost their jobs will either leave the city and continue to live a primitive life...

Either... through violence, to fulfill your own demands!

"These two reasons are like two springs. The tighter the pressure, the greater the bursting force." Zhang Yuan sighed and looked at the white ceiling, thinking, thinking...

It's a pity that the interstellar civilization only taught them some scientific knowledge, but there is no knowledge about the system... Even if the Gliese people are smart and have not experienced it, it is impossible to know this. Things, it's even more impossible to react.

The development of civilization has never been achieved overnight. The development of science and technology, but the rapid progress of external power, without the support of internal power, is equivalent to just a hollow tree, looking tall and mighty, in fact, it will fall when you touch it, even yourself. It fell straight down.
