Chapter 3106: World war (2/2)
”The cruel destruction of the Second World War, and the ensuing Cold War between the two powers, not only gave birth to space technology and the study of the universe that far exceeded the limits of our civilization, but also awakened the largest population of our civilization. The ancient nation, after hundreds of years of silence, the ancient civilization that stood in the East regained its vitality, the most powerful enterprising spirit and creativity.”
The voice said, ”The last 50 years of the 20th century to the first 20 years of the 21st century are almost the golden age of the fastest development of our civilization. Almost every year, new technologies and research results come out. Every ten years, the face of the entire civilization takes on a new look. In 1950, it was still a fantasy computer for most people. Sixty or seventy years later, it can be worn on people’s wrists and become indispensable for everyone. With fewer production tools and life partners, people even begin to imagine the birth of artificial intelligence in the next century.
”However, the beautiful dreams suddenly shattered like golden soap bubbles. Our technological explosion hit the physical limit and was forced to step on the brakes severely, entering the third decade of the 21st century. , We have encountered stagnation and setbacks in various fields, and hardly any valuable discoveries.
”With the stagnation of technology, a series of maladies and fatal flaws erupted from the depths of our civilization.
”The Super Matthew effect brought about by global networking has made the gap between the rich and the poor more and more fragmented in society.
”The population explosion brought about by advanced medical technology, but the lack of a good education system and enough jobs has reduced the vast majority of the population to an'ineffective population' or even an'inefficient population', which has become a burden to civilization.
”Environmental destruction and scarcity of resources have made the living environment of the vast majority of people worse and worse, and the advent of sophisticated weapons and even unmanned weapons has made the weaker late-comer countries more powerless to resist the first-mover advantage. This led to the prevalence of extremist ideas and a series of terrorist activities.
”If we say that these problems are all'chronic diseases' and can be solved slowly in the process of civilization development, then when the strong forces that represent two completely different thinking logics and economic systems in our civilization collide, the entire Civilization immediately fell into catastrophe.
”Everyone wants peace, not war.
”However, you should be very clear that when a civilization’s external expansion encounters a setback, the world is known to be 100% explored, all resources will be exhausted, and the road to technological upgrading will also be blocked, except for being trapped inside. In the desperate situation of ”Juanhua”, killing each other, and dying together, there is no second way to go.
”First trade frictions, then proxy wars, followed by small-scale low-intensity wiping fires... A series of warm-ups, temptations, threats and intimidation lasted for 20 years, when both sides knew each other’s strength and determination very well. After that, the Third World War finally broke out.
”In our civilization, a wise scholar once said,'I don't know how the Third World War was started. I only know that the Fourth World War must be fought with stones and sticks.' Is not wrong at all.
”The intensity of the Third World War is far more than a hundred times that of the Second World War a hundred years ago, and even surpassed everyone’s imagination at that time. The popularity of armed drones will be a'clean war', a'bloodless war', and even another low-intensity bluff and routine friction between the two sides, until the teeth and claws are growing, and the strange mushroom cloud is in them. The top of their heads rose slowly, swallowing them instantly, turning them into flaming skeletons, and they regretted it.
”The Third World War lasted for thirty full years. It was the longest and most brutal war in the history of our civilization. It also profoundly changed our civilization.
”Especially in the later stages of the war, with the complete abolition of the home planet, various extremism and terrorism plagues appeared again and again, various extremely immature biological and chemical weapons, viral weapons and even genetic weapons were unscrupulously released. It made us feel the fear of'civilization extinction' for the first time.
”Perhaps the growth of every civilization is like this. Without a catastrophe that may wipe out the entire civilization, one would not know the value of peace and unity.
”Even though some of the survivors know the importance of peace and unity, 30 years of blood and blood, the white and black tombstones piled up by hundreds of millions of bones, have become a moat and high wall blocking the two sides.
”--If there were no accidents, our civilization might have died in infancy with such a humiliating and sad posture.
”But since you can hear our voices, and even your existence itself, it represents the coming of some kind of ‘miracle’.
”In Era 2068, the'miracle'-the first meteorite in the meteorite rain that will completely destroy the earth in a hundred years, crosses the solar system, tears the atmosphere, and hits our deserted home hard.”
