Chapter 3096 A World Without Psionic Energy

"Why are the names of these ancient civilizations so familiar?"

Li Yao was stunned again, "Especially 'Chinese Civilization'?"

He didn't allow him to think too much, but the picture in his mind was constantly advancing at a speed that spanned hundreds or even thousands of years per second.

Splendid palaces rose and collapsed time and time again, majestic cities were annihilated in the tide of war. In the east, people built majestic water conservancy systems and the Great Wall to resist the invasion of floods and beasts. In the west, people controlled the narrow and crude A small boat cuts through the waves and gallops across the ocean.

Greece, Rome, Persia, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period...more tribes, nations and countries emerged, creating more brilliant and brilliant civilizations. They continued to divide and unify, and history rose in a spiral and advanced in twists and turns. , blooming a faint light in the darkness.

The more Li Yao looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he felt more and more that he had read a similar history in a certain place, that is, in the strange dream, that is, on the earth at the core of Hong Chao!

Although compared with what I have seen before, in the history of the earth that I read in Yimeng, some names of people and places are different, including the time of some important historical events. evolution version.

"What the hell is going on!"

Li Yao was completely stunned. He didn't know how many earths there are, how many periods of history, or that there are countless earths, and the history that repeats countless times is the so-called "reincarnation"!

With the emergence of the concept of "epoch" on this earth in the sea of ​​consciousness, everything is even more fleeting and fleeting.

The ancient armor was riddled with holes by the cutting-edge muskets, and the darkness and ignorance of the Middle Ages was shattered by the Enlightenment and the Renaissance. When the Eastern Continent was still sinking in the mire of the historical cycle, a new hero had emerged in the Western world. The peerless powerhouse named Watt gathered together a large number of predecessors' technology and wisdom crystallization, improved and completed the real first-generation civilization treasure "steam engine"!

The appearance of the steam engine brought Yuanshi civilization into the first industrial revolution, a great era of turbulent winds and torrents.

From this moment, Yuanshi civilization is only one step away from the stars and the sea.

but……

"Etc., etc!"

Li Yao suddenly discovered a very strange, extremely strange thing.

This incident seemed very unreasonable, but because it was right under his nose, he ignored it. "Is this really the early development of your Yuanshi civilization? Why didn't I see any trace of 'spiritual energy'?"

"Yes."

The voice said, "Our home planet is very fortunate to be in a 'spiritual bubble' or a 'spiritless space'. During our early evolutionary path, we were indeed not affected by psychic energy. At that time, we will be the most A powerful force called 'technology'."

"very lucky?"

Li Yao had a hard time understanding, "You regard being born in the 'spiritless space' as a kind of luck, why?"

"The answer to this question, with your wisdom, should be deducible by yourself."

The voice said, "For any kind of original civilization that develops from scratch, it is extremely lucky to be born in the 'spiritless space', and only such a civilization, after being able to fly out of the parent star, will have It is possible to grow into the real overlord of the star sea, including a long time later, when our primitive civilization encountered almost all powerful enemies in the process of conquering the star sea, the home planets were in the non-spiritual space, but those home stars were located in the environment rich in psychic energy. A civilization that develops smoothly all the way to its peak, no matter how powerful the individual is, is weak on the outside and weak on the inside.”

"this……"

Li Yao thought deeply.

Psychic energy is the purest and most stable form of energy. Although it is not as powerful as psionic energy, its comprehensive utilization efficiency is definitely higher than psionic energy, and its application range is wider. Why do you say that having psionic energy is a kind of misfortune? Lack is luck?

Li Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that in the test just now, he had once incarnated as an archaea, living near a submarine volcano, relying on the thermal energy of the volcano and the chemical energy of the magma to survive.

For a small archaea or even a whole piece of creep, the thermal and chemical energy of magma is almost inexhaustible. If he is only satisfied with the form of archaea, he can surround it almost forever. Submarine volcanoes have survived like this.

But what is the meaning of such a life?

Similarly, Li Yao thought of the earth in his memory, including the home planet of the Yuanshi civilization in front of him, surrounded by the equator, and many tropical races lived there.

These tropical races are born to enjoy the rich land and endless crops. They have neither the distress of severe cold, nor the threat of fierce beasts, nor the problem of food shortage. It can be said that they sit in a cornucopia from birth. Whatever you want, you can just grab it, and you don’t even need to reach out, and all kinds of fruits rich in starch and nutrients will fall directly from the tree for them to enjoy.

As a result, the wisdom of these tropical races has not been developed at all, but they are indulging in endless vulgar tastes and animal instincts. At that time, tropical civilization remained stagnant at a very low level.

Born in sorrow, die in peace, Li Yao said this truth to himself not long ago, why did he forget it so quickly?

"I see!"

Li Yao said loudly, "If a planet is in a star field rich in psychic energy, the existence of intelligent life there will be too easy, too simple, and it is not enough to develop superior intelligence and complex social forms, and even lack The need to communicate effectively with the same kind and these are the foundation of a civilization!

"A world rich in psychic energy is like a tropics with abundant resources, while a world lacking in psychic energy is like a temperate zone and a frigid zone with harsh environments. The former is destined to fail to cultivate a strong civilization, and only the latter is a great civilization." A true hotbed of civilization!"

"You're right."

The voice said, "The so-called 'civilization' is a humanistic spirit that has been precipitated since history, which is beneficial to enhance the adaptation and cognition of intelligent life to the objective world, conforms to the spiritual pursuit of intelligent life, and can be recognized and accepted by the vast majority of people. And the sum of public order and good customs.

"Civilization is the collection of all social and natural behaviors that bring intelligent life out of barbarism, and these collections include at least the following elements: family concepts, tools, language, writing, beliefs, religious concepts, laws, city-states, and countries.

"And to produce all the elements, there is one most basic premise, that is, the relative equality between people.

"Only between monkeys and monkeys, or between ants and ants, is it possible to communicate with each other, construct society, language, law, belief, etc., and finally create a great civilization, but there is no way between monkeys and ants To produce a society, let alone a civilized one.

"The extremely special and precious energy of psionic energy has the function of stimulating cells, activating individual strength, and greatly increasing individual differences. In a world without psionic energy, there is a limit to the individual differences of carbon-based intelligent life. The overlord who once conquered an entire continent, massacred millions of enemies, and made great achievements in martial arts may also be beheaded by a beggar with a sharp knife. This is "relative equality" or "relative inequality". The only way to build a great civilization is to stay within walking distance, to be close at hand, and to be as enemy as possible.

"However, on those planets that are naturally rich in spiritual energy, carbon-based life has long learned to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, devour the treasures of heaven and earth, and evolve and mutate crazily, even if a wisdom is finally born. Race, each individual in the race is very different, to the extent that the weak can hardly pose any threat to the strong.

"When a million weak people gather and cannot pose a threat to a strong man, such a society must be deformed, and civilization must be weak. The strong have no need or necessity to promote civilization. The weak It is also impossible to stimulate the desire for exploration and creativity, like people in the soulless world, who are forced to find ways to explore new technologies and establish new public order, good customs and social laws. In such a world, the only law is the law of the jungle. , and any technologies and ideas that might weaken psionic energy will be strangled in infancy.

"On the way of our primordial civilization to conquer the star sea, we have encountered countless civilizations developed from planets with abundant spiritual energy. Without exception, these civilizations have not crossed their own galaxies, or even their own planets. Although some of them have strong individual combat effectiveness, the development level of the entire civilization is at most equivalent to the Middle Ages of our earth. When our starships piled up with tens of thousands of turrets tear their atmosphere, they are still wielding ridiculous swords. Using crude aura, trying to compete with us!

"Even, in the most extreme psychic civilization, the most powerful person inhales the psychic energy of the entire planet into his body, turning himself into an old monster that can live for tens of thousands of years, while other people of the same kind become his body." The parasites are completely unable to resist him, but because there is no existence in the whole environment that can threaten him, his intelligence gradually degenerates, and he becomes an idiot worse than a three-year-old child. of exhibits.

"We have slowly explored the experience. Before going to war with an unknown civilization, we should try to figure out the condition of their home planet. If it is a planet with abundant spiritual power and abundant resources, then don't worry. It must be a devastating victory, but if the environment of the enemy's home planet is extremely harsh, the resources are extremely scarce, and even like our home star, there is no bit of psionic power, then we must be very careful. It’s going to be an extremely tough battle for sure.”
