Chapter 3106: World war (1/2)
Li Yao was silent, nodding in his heart.
In fact, the truth said by the voice has many manifestations in the history of the development of human civilization in the Pangu universe, that is, the chaos of the ancient repair era, including the tragedy of the ”living fossil” ancient sacred world.
There is no power, it can be obtained without paying any price. Fate has already marked the price for every power. Those powers that seem to be easily obtained may need more precious things-organization, society Order, desire for exploration and curiosity are exchanged.
Fortunately, the human civilization of the Pangu universe, including the Pangu civilization before human civilization, and the one hundred ancient civilizations before Pangu civilization, are not strictly the first generation of primitive civilizations, but the descendants of Yuanshi civilization.
On the one hand, they can find the relics of the previous generation of civilization from the depths of the earth and the vast sea of stars, learn valuable lessons and avoid repeating the same mistakes; on the other hand, deep in their genes, there are originally ancient memories from the Yuanshi clan. Even though most of the time, these ancient memories are mottled and ambiguous fragments, but they are enough to stimulate the instinct of intelligent life, and naturally form complex social and highly organized.
Therefore, these ”secondary civilizations” can develop quite powerful civilizations in an environment with strong spiritual energy, but they inevitably have to take many detours-for example, the ”collapse of ancient repairs” and the ”Thirty Thousand Years of Darkness” of mankind. Times”, and even today the various evils of the Covenant Alliance and the true human empire, cannot but say that they are affected by ”the individual differences are too great, the strong are too strong and the weak are too weak.”
Those primitive civilizations that do not have the relics of previous civilizations to be excavated, nor do they contain the ”organizational instinct” deep in their genes, suddenly gained inexhaustible and inexhaustible psychic energy, just like a seven or eight-year-old child. With a huge inheritance, and lack of adult supervision, he will only squander unscrupulously, and there is hardly any unlearned.
”Psionic energy is of course one of the most precious resources in the universe, but only a highly mature civilization with its own ”Dao Xin” is qualified to drive it instead of being enslaved by it.”
The voice continued, ”It is precisely because there is no psychic help that we can inspire all our enthusiasm, wisdom and courage, and use our hands, sweat and blood to transform our planet and understand the universe beyond the planet.
”We carried out the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, and the third industrial revolution.
”We have discovered the laws of the movement of celestial bodies, and we have also discovered molecules, atoms and structures that are smaller than atoms.
”We have discovered electromagnetic waves, and we also know how to use radio; we have conquered mountains and seas, and we have conquered countless kinds of bacteria, and even know how to drive molds to cure deadly diseases; we believe in technology and are more pious than in gods. We firmly believe that technology is Roads are infinite, and infinite technology will eventually make us the gods of ourselves and even the entire Xinghai Sea.
”Of course, the rapid advancement of technology and the sudden expansion of civilization have also brought crazy ambitions and **** killings. In the first 50 years of the twentieth century, we have launched two world wars one after another. The main battlefield is only confined to one continent, so the death storm of World War II really swept the entire home planet.
”These were two extremely glorious and cruel wars. People who lacked psychic abilities and had no power to bind chickens could release more terrifying destructive power than cultivators, and countless tons of steel and explosives fell like a downpour. , Can instantly destroy a large city with hundreds of thousands of people.
”Especially at the end of the Second World War, we used a weapon called the'atomic bomb', which involves the annihilation of matter and the mystery of energy explosions. On the surface of the planet with an atmosphere, it is more powerful than the main guns of starships. The existence of terror.
”However, war is a demon that destroys civilization on the one hand, and a catalyst for the rapid development of civilization on the other. New technologies and new ideas were born in the two world wars, including new systems born from countless old systems that were destroyed. All have promoted the explosive development of our civilization in the last 50 years of the twentieth century, rushing forward at a rapid pace.
”After the end of the Second World War, but more than two decades, that is, on July 21, 1969, our primitive and humble starship, for the first time boarded the only satellite of the parent planet, and stepped out of conquest. The first step in the sea of stars.”
Accompanied by the sound, a new picture appeared in Li Yao's mind.
Three astronauts in white spacesuits and stars and stripes, who appeared bloated and clumsy, bounced around on the surface of the moon. In the slightly low and noisy background sound, the voice of one of the astronauts was heard:
”...This is a small step for me personally, but a big step for mankind.”
Of course, this astronaut spoke in English, which is the ”magic language” that Li Yao understood.
