Chapter 1857: Using the Past to Illustrate the Present

The first phase of the planetary propulsion project has been completed. A large number of huge behemoths have been erected on the continents of the northern hemisphere. In order to complete an engine that is taller than Mount Everest, humans have used large machines to the extreme.

All machinery such as excavators, cranes, transport vehicles, etc. are manufactured to a large scale, and there are countless huge transport helicopters.

Beauty is mechanical rivets, and good is lever gears.

The roaring sound of the steel behemoth is the hymn of human civilization, and the towering engines erected on the surface are the monuments of human civilization.

The first phase of the project took ten years, and it will take several more decades to complete everything, because the steering engine on the equator has not yet started.

In these ten years, the Trisolarians also began to immigrate to Australia, and they also began to build underground cities, because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, and it will be a state of eternal night for a long time in the future, and they can only rely on high technology to live underground.

However, the Trisolarians' technology is advanced, and their underground cities are impregnable.

In addition to the surface engineering, a batch of space battleships in the universe were also completed with the cooperation of humans and Trisolarians. The Trisolarians provided the light speed engine and antimatter missiles. This batch of spaceships is used to open the way. If there are any meteorite obstacles on the wandering orbit, they need to be cleared by spaceships.

These high-tech spaceships are cleaners.

The Trisolarians are currently experiencing the most difficult time, and the Trisolarian planet is still in civil war. After the decision was made by drawing lots, the extreme Trisolarians who lost their minds almost perished with the Earth several times, and they relied on the rational people among the Trisolarians to stop them.

Although the Trisolarians immigrated to Australia, more Trisolarians fought on their home planet, made their last cry in despair, and were swallowed by despair.

Obviously, the immigration list decided by the lottery cannot be agreed by everyone. The civil war has been going on for several years and will continue.

The Trisolarians who have arrived on Earth live silently and dare not have any unfriendly thoughts, because the hybrid is very powerful and can read the thoughts of the Trisolarians, but his values ​​are all Earth first. Although the hybrid is only ten years old, he is already a pure Earthling.

The people on Earth also never forget to promote national unity, telling the Trisolarans that everyone is an ant in the universe, and only by uniting can they avoid being destroyed. It is the best choice for everyone to work together. Many Trisolarans have also accepted reality and work with peace of mind. Anyway, on Earth, at least they don’t have to worry about the explosion of the sun.

The fear of stars on Trisolarans can be said to be deeply rooted. They are afraid of the sun rising and setting. When there is only one sun in the sky, it is the safest time.

Because they don’t know whether the sun will appear after sunset, and how many suns will appear when the sun rises.

The system of three suns is very chaotic, so Trisolarans has no fixed seasons or fixed days. For them, the worship of the sun by the people on Earth is unreasonable. The people on Earth actually think that the sun gives life to all things, which is terrible.

For the Trisolarans, the sun is destruction rather than hope.

On Earth, the Trisolarans need to slowly adapt to the monotonous sun, adapt to the sun rising and setting from east to west every day.

In fact, the fear of the sun and the worship of the sun are different paths to the same goal, both of which are to unite life. Everyone says that humans are social animals, but at the beginning, only blood relatives lived together, and it was definitely not like today, where people of different bloodlines and cultures are gathered together.

How can people overcome the small circle of blood and enter the large circle of civilization? It depends on the deification of nature, which has been the case since ancient times.

The biggest turning point was when hunting civilization changed to agricultural civilization. In hunting civilization, prey was limited, and blood relatives united to hunt, or went to war with other groups that robbed prey. The circle was very small and scattered. Many carnivores on the African savannah still maintain this form.

After that, it was time to enter agricultural civilization. Farming requires labor and population. But how to unite the small circle that used to kill each other to snatch prey?

It's very simple, just create gods.

Civilizations in Egypt, Maya, Europe, Asia, etc. were full of divinity at the beginning. God's will was above everything, above the power of blood, so the small circle that originally had blood feuds was condensed into a tribe.

It can be said that the myths of the civilized world can be traced back to the early days of agricultural civilization, which was formed to gather population.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, there was an accident in ancient China. The superstitious Shang Dynasty was overthrown by the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty stopped talking about those illusory gods and started talking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to abolish the brutal human sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the ancestors of the Zhou people. Unlike the gods of the Shang Dynasty, they did not eat people. Since they did not eat people, they naturally did not need to kill people to sacrifice to the gods. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not kill people and would bless everyone with good weather and good harvests, why would everyone not support the Zhou Dynasty?

There were many gods in the tribal period. After attacking each other, they killed captives and sacrificed them to their gods. There are records in various ancient civilizations. In the end, there were fewer and fewer gods, and only the few that are often mentioned today were left.

The above is the history of mankind, and the history of the Trisolarans is actually similar, but they only fear the gods and do not worship them.

Humans kill captives to sacrifice to the gods in the hope that the gods can bless them, so they are definitely not just afraid of the gods. If the gods really let them have good weather and good harvests, they will definitely praise and worship the gods.

The Trisolarians would not do this. The terrible disaster of the three suns taught them that the gods were always malicious, and that they would have to fight against the gods if they wanted to survive. It can be said that gods were like great demons in their culture from the beginning. They would never succeed if they did not defeat the gods, so their myths were basically stories about fighting against the gods, and of course they all ended in failure.

There were not many Trisolarian myths, but the most popular story was about a man who escaped the pursuit of the gods and finally blinded the eyes of the gods, so that the gods could never find him. Avoiding the gods was already the biggest wish of the Trisolarians, let alone worshipping them. There was no way they could worship them.

So there were still many differences in concepts between the Trisolarians and humans when they sat together.

In fact, even between humans, different classes, no need for knowledge, and different genders, there were differences in concepts, not to mention two different civilizations.

However, people with lofty ideals on both sides were working hard to change their differences. They found that the current situation was actually the same as the hunting civilization in ancient times, where different civilizations killed each other to ensure their own survival. The best way to unite everyone is to change the survival mode. In history, hunting civilization changed to farming civilization, which made everyone change their way of survival and values.

If a system similar to farming civilization appears, then they only need to create a "god" to unite everyone to bring more civilizations together. At that time, the dark forest in the universe will also be broken, which is definitely a new era.

Although humans and Trisolarans are still very weak, their thoughts are already at the forefront of the universe. They use history as a mirror, draw lessons from the past, gain experience from history, and think about the current form of the universe with primitive society. Human and Trisolaran thinkers believe that the universe must undergo changes from hunting to farming civilization, from small circles to large circles, and must accept the constraints and management of "gods".

Although they have thought of it, what is the specific direction? They still have to explore.

The current situation of the Trisolarans and the earthlings is the first step in creating gods. Now the "wandering plan" is the "god" that both sides believe in, and this "god" will bless them to survive.
