Chapter 240 (2/2)
”It seems that this civilization knows how to enjoy... Hey, is it the commonality of every civilization to enjoy life?”
The daily task of these diplomats is to talk with some Gliese, understand each other's ideology, and be run to investigate a small part of living areas and industrial areas.
Wang Junpeng found that it may be because of the work and rest of life. This civilization is really idle. The organizational ability of the government is not high.
People have few working hours. Basically, they just do what they want, and they don't do it. However, the productivity of this civilization is indeed good. Even if the people do not do much work, they can easily meet the survival of all the population.
During the inspection, many people will look at them curiously, and even come up for a dialogue to ask what kind of civilization human civilization is, whether they will attack them, and so on.
In the endless routine, Wang Junpeng soon mastered more information.
”I have to say... You human race are really energetic. You only need eight hours of sleep a day, and then you can wake up for a long time. Oh, by the way, it has something to do with the rotation of your planet. Rest at night and wake up during the day. ”
”It's an eternal dusk here. We usually rest for ten days and then wake up for a day or two. It's much better now. We have a unified work and rest. We put it 100000 years ago. We can sleep if we want and wake up if we want. It's a mess. ”
The Gliese senior official said with a little envy.
Then it rejected the idea: ”unfortunately, the consequence of your energy is that life is too short. In ancient times, your average life expectancy was only 30 years... It's incredible... It's pathetic. ”
Wang Junpeng nodded and said, ”you're right. In ancient times, we were not top predators in the food chain, and the struggle for survival was fierce and abnormal. Because of the existence of oxygen, the trees in the forest are more than ten meters high, the largest herbivore elephant has a mass of several tons, and tigers and lions... These beasts are not comparable to our strength. ”
”It is because of aerobic breathing that such a beast has evolved!”
”Oxygen... Ah, I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.” When the Gliese diplomat heard the word, he seemed to think of something and shook his head slightly.
Wang Junpeng said with exaggeration: ”yes, oxygen! In more ancient times, 120 million years ago, because of the very high oxygen concentration, there was a creature called dinosaur, which could have a mass of hundreds of tons! The tallest dinosaur can reach 100 meters! ”
Seeing the Gliese's surprised expression, Wang Junpeng said: ”however, the size is not important, the length of life is not important, and wisdom is more important. Many of our great men made important achievements when they were young, and even their limbs were paralyzed, relying only on their smart heads. ”
”You're right! What you said is absolutely right! No amount of power can compare with an excavator. ” The Gliese diplomat echoed.
Wang Junpeng sighed and even goose bumps came out: ”yes, it is the survival concept of each of us to make more contributions to the whole civilization in our limited life.”
You're kidding!
If it weren't for the pressure of survival, who would like to work for a better life. Human beings are selfish creatures. Even Wang Junpeng came to be an interstellar diplomat just for face, honor or money
However, if the whole civilization can become better, it is not impossible to sacrifice personal interests slightly... But only slightly... Wang Junpeng feels that he is about to be brainwashed by himself.
The senior official of glize seemed to be awed by Wang Junpeng's eloquence and asked, ”by the way, don't the individuals in your civilization carry out recreational activities? For example, art... ”
”Art, of course!”
”The meaning of life is to feel the passage of time? Personally plant a grass and watch it grow slowly, blossom, bear fruit and wither... There is infinite and natural philosophical truth in the edge itself. ”
”Isn't that what we've been doing all our lives? If there is birth, there will be death. ”
”Our saints once said that time passes like this, day and night... It means that time is like running water.”
The senior official of Gliese was very excited by him, as if he had met a real confidant: ”yes, there are similar words among our great men. Time is like a typhoon, and each typhoon is different...”
