Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 403: History of Taipu people
"Aren’t these Tap people very smart, do you launch satellites instead?"
"Yes, basically the first batch of trading conditions are like this. They chose to use the first batch of trading points and let us launch satellites on their behalf. Other content is still being discussed."
Zhang Yuan looked at the transaction request of Taipu Civilization, and he agreed with him: "This is not a problem. The satellite is developed by themselves. We are just like a trip, and the price is not high."
"...It’s just that, after a few decades, these launched satellites will be scrapped. At that time, if they still have not developed a powerful rocket, there will be no way to update. We will only stay here for three to five years. After that, I will leave this star field and leave them alone."
"There is no way...this is already very good." A nearby congressman said: "If they can enjoy the satellite dividend for decades, their world should be greatly changed, and they will pay more attention to it. This technology. With satellites, the communication of the entire planet will be smoother, and the huge planet will be reduced into a global village."
"In theory, as long as it is a slightly visionary civilization, it will be researched within this period of time. Otherwise, when the time is up, a large number of satellites will suddenly become unavailable, and people who are accustomed to satellite technology must riot."
Of course, there is no need for human beings to worry too much about how the Taipu civilization will develop in the future.
Humans are humans, and the Tap civilization is the Tap civilization. There is no need to worry about other people's internal affairs. The "Limited Help" regulation has basically been completed.
And human beings “run errands on behalf of others” smoothly exchanged for the historical process of this civilization, as well as a large amount of biological data about the native planet, which is also a profitable business.
Otherwise, with such a small scientific research robot, it is quite difficult to scientifically research the entire planet.
The historical data and biological data on the planet Taipu are also the focus of this scientific conference. Especially with regard to the traces of the Enlightenment’s civilization, people have found some clues. This is even more exciting.
A scientist came onto the stage, and he was the host of this meeting, Professor Roquerie.
First of all, the scientist played a picture of the native creatures of Tepu on the screen. Fish, birds, and reptiles are not suitable for the classification of life on earth. But for the sake of understanding, it is still named like this.
"About the traces of the enlightener, I have to start from the beginning."
"...Due to the high gravity of the planet, the creatures here have evolved strong muscles and hard bones."
The bone density of most animals is very high. Due to the unique hollow structure inside the bones, the overall mass is not too large. This is also the point that surprises biologists the most.
"...On this planet, we must have enough strength to jump and run, and also have to be evolutionarily light enough...So many creatures are slender and slender in terms of muscle structure, and the proportion of muscles is much larger. The proportion of fat has a strong explosive power."
There are other creatures that look bloated, but they are not.
"... because they have a thick stratum corneum on their outer skin. This stratum corneum has a structure similar to foam. It is large in size and low in mass. It can effectively cushion the damage caused by a fall and is not easy. Fractures on the ground, or damage to internal organs."
"Tepu people look fat, but in fact they are puffy, and the quality is not great."
There are also some creatures that have evolved the structure of exoskeletons, mostly small and medium animals. These creatures live in water like crabs and shrimps. The existence of exoskeletons can provide support for the soft internal organs in the body.
But then again, even if the life here has made a certain adaptation to the high-gravity environment, it is difficult for them to perform ultra-high-intensity sports like the life on the earth, let alone resemble salmon. Similarly, carry out long-distance migrations of thousands of kilometers.
Carbon-based life has its limits after all. The energy contained in a unit cell is not much higher than that of a human cell. No matter how perfect the evolution is, the life here is still more fatigued than the creatures on earth when undergoing high-intensity exercise.
"So, the life here is often very explosive, but in terms of endurance, it is generally inferior to life on earth. People on earth can run a marathon for a distance of more than 40 kilometers, but the Taipu people can’t do it. Kilometer began to panting and exhausted."
A lot of life, I like to sleep in water when I’m resting, because it saves energy.
Tip people also like to use the buoyancy of water to get the most comfortable sleep.
"...This habit has been maintained until now. Basically, every household has a large bathtub, and then when resting, sleep in the bathtub."
You don’t need to think about drowning in the water. The Taipu people are good at water. They have huge lung lobes, and there is a sponge-like cushioning cuticle around their muscles, which can easily float on the water.
These are all objective environments on the planet Taipu and the evolutionary forms of life under these objective environments.
After introducing these prerequisites, Professor Luo asked: “Then the problem is here. Since the lives here are all species with high explosiveness and low endurance, it means that the Taipu civilization was in the most primitive period. It is difficult to evolve into a real farming civilization."
"What is the most important thing to develop agriculture? The first is plants, which need to be cultivated properly. The second is culture, which requires the birth of farming culture. The third is animals."
"...The development of agriculture requires livestock and requires a long time of work. Due to evolutionary reasons, even the Taipu people themselves have difficulty adapting to such long-term work~ IndoMTL.com~ often work for a day and take a day off , Otherwise it is easy to be over-fatigued, leading to short life span. Archeology has also proved this point. The Taipu people in ancient times stayed in the hunting age for a long time and stopped making progress."
As soon as this conclusion came out, there was a sound of discussion in the conference room.
This is something that has never been thought of.
Zhang Yuan nodded, agreeing: “In the earth’s civilization, there is such a saying that the reason why there is no real farming culture on the African land, there is a very important reason, the African grassland has no large-scale domestication. Livestock."
"In 1500, the population of Africa was only 20 million, while the population of Xia Guo, a large agricultural country, reached 160 million. This is the difference between hunting civilization and farming civilization."
Without farming culture, it is indeed difficult to give birth to a truly brilliant and great civilization. Although human beings were born in the land of Africa, there is no real great civilization born in this land. Even Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations, has been assimilated by other religions for a long time. Until now.
Settlement enables humans to store surplus food, and farming culture brings stable food reserves. These grains can feed soldiers, artisans, craftsmen, etc. They are an important force for war and construction.
At the same time, with food reserves, civilized countries can start giant projects such as the Great Wall.
It is precisely with wild animals that can be domesticated that human civilization can develop rapidly. Not only can cattle and horses cultivate land, they are also a means of transportation.
