Chapter 3097 World War

Li Yao was silent, nodding in his heart.

In fact, the truth that the voice said has many manifestations in the history of the development of human civilization in the Pan Gu universe, that is, the chaos of the ancient repair era, including the tragedy of the "living fossil" ancient holy world.

There is no power that can be obtained without paying any price. Destiny has already marked the price for each power. Those powers that seem to be easily obtained may require more precious things to organize, social order, Exchange desire and curiosity.

Fortunately, the human civilizations in 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 native civilizations, but descendants of Yuanshi civilization.

On the one hand, they can find the remains of the civilization of the previous generation from the depths of the ground and the vast sea of ​​stars, learn valuable experience and lessons, and avoid repeating the same mistakes; Although most of the time, these ancient memories are mottled and blurred fragments, but they are enough to stimulate the instinct of intelligent life, and naturally form a complex sociality and a high degree of organization.

Therefore, these "secondary civilizations" can still develop quite powerful civilizations in an environment rich in aura, but they will inevitably have to take a lot of detours, such as the "collapse of ancient repairs" and the "30,000-year great dark age" of human beings. , and even the various evils of the Covenant Alliance and the Empire of True Humans today cannot but be said to be influenced by "the individual differences are too great, the strong are too strong and the weak are too weak".

Those native civilizations that have neither the remains of previous civilizations to dig, nor the "organizational instinct" hidden deep in their genes, suddenly obtained inexhaustible spiritual power, just like a seven or eight-year-old child getting Having acquired a huge inheritance and lacking the discipline of adults, they will only squander recklessly, and there are almost no people who do not learn from bad habits.

"Spiritual energy is of course one of the most precious resources in the universe, but only a highly mature civilization with its own 'Dao Heart' is qualified enough to drive it instead of being enslaved by it."

The voice continued, "It is precisely because we do not have the help of spiritual power that we can inspire all our enthusiasm, wisdom and courage to use our hands, sweat and blood to transform our planet and understand the universe beyond the planet.

"We had the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, the third industrial revolution.

"We have discovered the law of the movement of celestial bodies, as well as molecules, atoms and structures smaller than atoms.

"We have discovered electromagnetic waves and know how to use radio; we have conquered mountains and seas, and countless kinds of bacteria, and even know how to drive mold to treat deadly diseases; we believe in technology and are more devout than gods. The road is infinite, and the infinite technology will eventually make us the gods of ourselves and even the entire galaxy.

"Of course, the rapid advancement of technology and the sudden expansion of civilization also brought about crazy ambitions and bloody killings. In the first half of the 20th century, we launched two world wars one after another. If we say that the first world war The main battlefield of the world is only limited to one continent, so the death storm of the Second World War really swept the entire parent planet.

"Those were two extremely brilliant and cruel wars. People who lacked spiritual power and the power to restrain chickens were able to release more terrifying destructive power than practitioners. Countless tons of steel and explosives fell like a torrential rain. , can instantly destroy a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

"Especially at the end of World War II, we used a weapon called 'atom bomb', which involves the mystery of matter annihilation and energy explosion. On the surface of a planet with an atmosphere, it is more powerful than the main gun of a starship. Terrifying existence.

"However, on the one hand, war is a demon that destroys civilization, and on the other hand, it is also a catalyst that promotes the rapid development of civilization. The new technologies and new ideas born in the two world wars, including the new system born on the basis of countless destroyed old systems, All of them have promoted the explosive development of our civilization in the second half of the twentieth century, and rushed forward at a lightning speed.

"After the end of the Second World War, but more than 20 years ago, that is, on July 21, 1969, our primitive and simple starship boarded the only satellite of the parent star for the first time, and embarked on a journey of conquest. The first step in the sea of ​​stars."

Accompanied by the sound, a new picture appeared in Li Yao's mind.

Three bloated and clumsy astronauts in white spacesuits and stars and stripes were bouncing on the surface of the moon. In the slightly low and noisy background sound, there was also the voice of one of the astronauts:

"...that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Of course, the astronaut spoke in English, which is the "magic language" Li Yao understood.

"The brutal devastation of the Second World War and the ensuing confrontation between the two powers not only gave birth to aerospace technology and the study of the universe far beyond the limits of our civilization, but also awakened the most populous part of our civilization. The ancient nation has made this ancient civilization standing in the east, after hundreds of years of silence, revive with vitality, the most powerful enterprising spirit and creativity."

The voice said, "The second half of the 20th century to the first two decades of the 21st century is almost the golden age of the fastest development of our civilization. Almost every year new technologies and research results come out, almost Every ten years, the entire civilization takes on a new look. In 1950, the electronic computer was still a fantasy for most people. After 60 or 70 years, it can be worn on people's wrists and has become a necessity for everyone. With fewer production tools and life partners, people even began to imagine the birth of artificial intelligence in the next hundred years.

"However, the wonderful dream suddenly shattered like golden soap bubbles, our technological explosion hit the limit on the physical level, and we were forced to step on the brakes hard, entering the third decade of the 21st century , we have stagnated and slumped in various fields, and hardly any valuable discoveries have been made.

"As technology stagnated, a series of ills and fatal flaws burst forth from the depths of the very fabric of our civilization.

"The super Matthew effect brought about by global networking has made the gap between rich and poor even worse, and society has become more fragmented.

"The population explosion brought about by advanced medical technology, but the lack of a good education system and enough jobs has turned the vast majority of the population into an 'ineffective population' or even a 'non-effective population', which has instead become a burden on civilization.

"Environmental damage and resource scarcity have made the living environment of the vast majority of people worse and worse, and the advent of cutting-edge weapons and even unmanned weapons has made the weaker latecomers even more powerless to resist the first-mover advantaged countries. It has led to the prevalence of extremist ideas and a series of terrorist activities.

"If it is said that these problems are 'chronic diseases' and can be solved slowly in the process of civilization development, then when the superpowers representing two completely different thinking logics and economic systems collide in our civilization, it will be It means that the entire civilization has fallen into catastrophe.

"All want peace, not war.

"However, you should be very clear that when a civilization's external expansion encounters setbacks, the known world is 100% explored, all resources will be exhausted, and the road to technological upgrades will be blocked. The desperation of curling, killing each other, and dying together, there is no other way to go.

"First came trade frictions, then proxy wars, and then small-scale and low-intensity misfires... A series of warm-ups, temptations, threats and intimidation lasted for a full decade, when both sides were very clear about each other's strength and determination. , the Third World War finally broke out in the year 2028.

"In our civilization, a wise scholar once said, 'I don't know how the Third World War was fought, only that the Fourth World War must be fought with stones and sticks', saying is not wrong at all.

"The intensity of the Third World War is far more than a hundred times that of the 'World War II' a hundred years ago, and even exceeded everyone's imagination at that time. Before the war, everyone was very optimistic that with the advancement of technology, especially supercomputers and armed With the popularity of man and machine, this will be a 'clean war', a 'bloodless war', and even another low-intensity bravado and routine friction between the two sides, until blossoming fangs and claws, strangely shaped mushroom clouds slowly spread over their heads. Rising up, devouring them in an instant, turning them into flaming skeletons, they were too late to regret.

"The Third World War, which lasted for thirty years, was the longest and cruelest war in the history of our civilization, and it profoundly changed our civilization.

"Especially at the later stage of the war, with the complete wasteland of the mother planet, various extremism and terrorist plagues appeared again, all kinds of extremely immature biochemical weapons, virus weapons and even genetic weapons were unscrupulously released, It made us feel the fear of 'extinction of civilization' for the first time.

"Perhaps, the growth of every civilization is like this. If you don't encounter a 'catastrophe' that may wipe out the entire civilization, you will not know the value of peace and unity.

"Even though some survivors know the importance of peace and unity, the 30-year blood feud and the white and black tombstones piled up with hundreds of millions of bones have become a moat and a high wall separating the two sides.

"If there were no accidents, our civilization might have died in its infancy with such a shameful and sad gesture.

"But since you can hear our voices, and even your very existence, it represents the arrival of some kind of 'miracle'.

"In the year 2058, the first meteorite in the "miracle" meteor shower that will completely destroy the earth within a hundred years, passed through the solar system, tore through the atmosphere, and slammed into our barren home."
