Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 250: Self-technological castration
When talking about this period of history, Gan Yaduo said slightly sadly: "...With so many high-ranking government officials, it is impossible for everyone to be a born saint. There will always be selfishness and personal desires. Under the temptation of resources, batches of production materials were hurriedly divided up by a group of senior officials..."
"The more production materials they obtain, the greater the anger at the bottom..."
"As a result, this incident directly became the fuse of the riots. Under the instigation of certain people with ulterior motives, angry citizens destroyed the city government and tried to seize the universal factory!"
With the example of taking the lead, the entire wave of riots quickly spread from one city to the whole world. In just two years, riots occurred in all 13 major cities, without exception!
"This kind of chaos and turmoil has hindered the progress of the entire society. The competition for 13 universal factories has lasted for thousands of years...There is no such thing as peace, and there is no such thing as all the beauty of the world. That. After the interstellar civilization left, everything became chaotic..."
In the dimly lit conference room, Gan Yaduo was a little confused, but his words contained a kind of helplessness and anger, "It's a pity that the Gliese people, who claim to love peace and art, have since acquired the Universal Factory. In the history of civilization broke out, the first war in which the number of casualties reached five figures..."
The historical wheels of the entire world always have their own unique trajectories. Any blocker is just a man's arm as a car.
Fortunately, these are stories from fifty thousand years ago. With the passage of time, this period of history no longer seems so sad.
Civilization will calm down and move on.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "I'm sorry, every civilization has such a chaotic history. The same is true of our human civilization... The struggle for survival is the instinct of life. Selfishness is life. Normal, unselfish creatures have long been eliminated in the course of evolution."
There are only two of them in the entire conference room, no entourage, and no meeting minutes, which is equivalent to just a private conversation.
This kind of self-destructive scandal still requires a certain amount of courage...
But it also made Zhang Yuan more convinced that this civilization needs the help of humans, or... they really desperately want a stellar-level spacecraft!
The following history becomes even more bizarre and weird...
All kinds of chaos and turmoil lasted for nearly three thousand years, and finally stabilized gradually. According to the Gliese people sleep for 10-14 days, awake for 2 days, plus various entertainment activities, the working time in a year is less than 30 days, and the work efficiency is far worse than the human 996 fortune. .
So the turbulence of three thousand years is equivalent to three to five hundred years of mankind. ::
However, after this turmoil, the original democratic policy slowly disappeared, replaced by 13 military groups with "automatic universal factories" as the core!
Universal Factory means advanced productivity, far surpassing the advanced productivity of the entire era. The data database inside contains the manufacturing methods of guns, artillery, aircraft, rockets, and missiles!
Whoever controls the Universal Factory is equivalent to owning everything, including supreme power!
In this case, dictatorship becomes the easiest option.
Just kidding, if you control the Universal Factory, you can directly dictate and become the emperor. Who wants to share power and engage in democracy and freedom?
Of course, because of the long sleep time and short waking time of a single individual, the emperor may be assassinated while sleeping. Therefore, the privileged class dictatorship improved from the single-person dictatorship, that is, the oligarchy , And it was formed.
Among the 13 cities, 12 cities have implemented an oligarchy system. Only the original holy city of Gore City still retains the habit of democratic politics due to various historical reasons.
However, there is only one universal factory in GoerTek. It is impossible to fight against the whole world, so at most, it can only protect itself.
As for other cities without universal factories, it is impossible to compete with these military oligarchs who control the factories. Whether it is military or economic, they can only gradually become vassals.
"So, this kind of stable oligarchic political system has been passed down. It is difficult to change, and I don't know how to change it." Gan Yaduo faintly revealed the political outlook of the other 12 major cities.
Zhang Yuan was stunned. He asked with some suspicion: "That is to say...except for Goer City, all other cities are oligarchy? Now fifty thousand years have passed, or oligarchy. ?"
The oligarchic system can be said to be the most corrupt and unstable system. Hasn't any deeper changes occurred in such a long time?
"Yes, even if fifty thousand years have passed, the universal factory is still the most advanced productive force. The military-centric oligarch system is difficult to overthrow. At most, it just overthrows some oligarchs and replaces them with another batch..."
"In the beginning, there were small-scale wars, but later, everyone discovered that the productivity of each other was similar, and the progress of science and technology was similar. No one could do anything about it. In addition, the advent of nuclear weapons realized the terror. The 13 cities gradually died down and signed nuclear weapons destruction treaties to achieve permanent peace."
"But that's not all...This is just the first step of our entire civilization. The history of the previous three thousand years." Gan Yaduo was silent for a long while. If the two sides really want to cooperate fully, it is difficult to cover up information in this regard.
After all, the time for the two parties to contact may be calculated in decades or even hundreds of years.
It can only grit its teeth and reveal another amazing piece of history!
Since the acquisition of the Universal Factory, the technology of Gliese Civilization has indeed flourished, but one thing is crucial...Almost no real technology of its own has been born.
Although science has commonality, the development of technology is gradual and requires the support of economy and a large number of talents, both of which are indispensable.
For a simple example, if a national enterprise wants to manufacture a mobile phone, according to the technical level of the Gliese civilization itself, even if it understands all the principles, it can only manufacture a master phone, without a large number of Practice and accumulation of experience are simply impossible to achieve in one step.
Using the various production methods in the universal factory, we can directly produce cross-age smart phones in one step!
The two are simply not comparable!
In this way, ~IndoMTL.com~, the technology tree of the entire civilization itself is invisibly suppressed by alien technology.
For many industries, knowing that there is such a thing is completely different from the actual production.
Take another example of chip technology. The core theory of silicon-based chips is "energy band theory." How to use this theory to make real chips requires a lot of exploration and experimentation, and a lot of economic experimentation. From the micron level, to the millimeter, and then to the nano level, countless investments, talents, and countless failures will be experienced, but these failures have also laid a solid foundation for future development.
It’s fine now, and I have directly obtained ready-made products, and it is a technological product of the second-level civilization of the universe.
The second-level civilization of the universe, even if the Gliese civilization develops on its own for tens of thousands of years, it may not be able to surpass it!
So, it is not easy to understand these technologies. Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to increase investment and challenge alien technologies. Even the talent pool in this area is scarce.
Without enough exploration, it will be difficult for the Gliese civilization to develop its own high-tech industrial system.
