Chapter 2353 Second Generation Civilization
The last six people in modern industry have worked hard, been sad, and loved. They tried hard to turn the knowledge they summarized into a hundred stories, hoping that these stories can be passed down from generation to generation to help their descendants overcome difficulties.
People will grow old, especially in such a cruel natural environment. The average life expectancy is only about 40 years old. The longest-lived island uncle also entered the countdown of his life in his early sixties.
Although he already had children and grandchildren at this time, he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed to see that his descendants had completely adapted to the days of survival in the wilderness in just a dozen years and forgot the glory of human civilization. He was happy that these children would live in their own way, and disappointed that the industrial civilization they were once proud of now had no wild fruits worth anything.
Before he died, he hoped that if his children went to sea one day, they would take his tombstone with them. This tombstone was a cement monument made by the uncle in advance, and his wife's glass record was hidden in it. It was made by all of them with the limited conditions on the island. It was not only a voice for future generations, but also carried the memories of the six of them.
When the last of the six astronauts died, the first generation of human civilization came to an end. The new humans on the island lived a primitive life. They did not know family planning or sustainable development. They kept giving birth to children and overfishing in a limited area. The island resources soon could not support them.
Although the fishery resources in the sea have been greatly restored after the disappearance of the first generation of civilization, how could the primitive people have the technology to go fishing in the open sea? The primitive people confined to the islands and the near seas soon encountered resource problems, so the war broke out.
The primitive people were connected by blood and fought together just to grab the resources to survive.
The start of civilization on the island can be said to be the worst. In fact, Duran thought that the six astronauts might as well take the risk to find the mainland. Because civilization cannot be developed on a closed island, even in the 21st century, those primitive tribes confined to the island still remain the same as they were thousands of years ago. This is because the resources of the island are limited. If you want to survive, you must constantly fight and consume internally, and there is no development.
In the melee, only one force can survive on its own, that is the Tool Sect led by Duran. The people of this sect are all tool men taught by Duran. Each of them has unique skills and strong combat effectiveness.
And now these tool men are building a ship to leave the island. This is the job that Duran gave to the disciples after the death of the island uncle.
Duran is going to take his disciples to the Eurasian continent, which is the place of development and the most suitable birthplace of civilization.
So when the fight on the island was in full swing, Duran led his disciples to drive the Ark and flashed away like Noah. This ark is very huge, can accommodate 400 people, and has the ability to fish in the open sea. It can be said to be the greatest invention in the early stage of the second generation of civilization and the first masterpiece of the Tool Sect. It was built entirely by pulling wood with both hands, and the strength of the tools' human lathes was brought into play.
The winners who stayed on the island stood on the bones and got a chance to breathe, but they will definitely encounter the same problem again fifty years later. But after Duran's start, there will definitely be people willing to go to sea on the island in the future, and the descendants of the island uncle will one day return to his hometown with the uncle's tombstone.
Duran's boat is small, but his goal is far away. He wants to go to the Mediterranean, to the birthplace of ancient Rome, to ancient Greece, to the promised land, to Egypt, and to the birthplace of Western civilization.
But that is a very long journey.
Duran couldn't do everything himself, so he found a holy relic to summon two heroes and let them manage the primitive people on the ship.
Wu Ding and Fu Hao, the couple, are the watchers who guarded the transformation of the Central Plains civilization from tribes to cities.
It is said, of course, it is just said that there was a group of happy Aryans on the Indo-European grasslands four or five thousand years ago, that is, on the grasslands in the middle of the Eurasian continent. These Aryans were nomadic people and originally lived a happy life, but there were unexpected changes in the weather and climate change, and life on the grasslands was not easy, so the Aryans had to start migrating southward.
Anyway, they were going to a warm place, so they migrated to the southwest, southeast, and south.
And these three directions were actually occupied by people. The southwest was the ancient Greek civilization, the southeast was the Chinese civilization, and the south was the ancient Indian civilization.
So war was inevitable. The ancient Greek civilization was driven into a dark age of four or five hundred years by the Aryans. The ancient Indian civilization was directly pressed to the ground and the caste system was directly established. The indigenous people became the object of oppression.
Only on the battlefield in the southeast, the Chinese civilization, which had entered the Shang Dynasty at that time, sent a female general Fu Hao to lead 13,000 soldiers to attack the Guifang in the north, winning a complete victory in one battle and protecting the fire of civilization.
Of course, some people also say that the Guifang are not Aryans, but other nomadic peoples. After all, the north of the Central Plains is also a prairie, and it is not surprising that there are nomadic peoples.
In any case, Duran believes that Fu Hao and Wu Ding are enough to manage these primitive people.
Duran is now completely playing "Civilization", which is to put together all the interesting things of various ethnic groups.
It was not easy to travel to the birthplace of ancient Rome by boat. It would take several years and they would have to stop for supplies along the way. After all, the island was located in the Pacific Ocean, and now they had to go west to the Atlantic Ocean, passing through South Asia and Africa before they could reach their destination.
The era in which Wu Ding and Fu Hao lived was a transitional era from tribes to cities, and from matriarchy to patriarchy, so their management was very unique, and there was a sense of gender equality.
Generally speaking, the definition of civilization is to have a gathering place with urban functions, and the level of tribes is not enough for civilization. But the fact that Wu Ding and Fu Hao could lead an army of 13,000 people is enough to show that there were cities in their era. Without the urban system, it was impossible to supply an army of 13,000 people.
When cities appeared, the Axial Age of big fish eating small fish followed.
The Axial Age was an era of great liberation of human thought. Where there were cities, there were people who left their jobs, and where there were people who left their jobs, there were thinkers. This is universal.
There were the Three Sages of Ancient Greece in the West, the Hundred Schools of Thought in the East, and various prophets in the Promised Land. These people are the inevitable products of human beings entering urban civilization. After all, people who left their jobs are guys who have nothing to do after a day of eating.
Duran calculated that a person who was petrified could recover as long as he kept thinking for three thousand years. In three thousand years, he could completely rebuild the second generation of civilization.
Just like playing the game of Civilization, he built wonders, reconstructed the territory, changed the tribe into a city, and developed some strange things. He could carve the Egyptian pyramids into the shape of Cthulhu, and turn the promised land flowing with milk and honey into a gladiatorial arena for Ultraman and monsters.
Anyway, the first generation of civilization has been destroyed, and the second generation of civilization can come at will, so it is better to be more casual and willful, and not restrict the possibilities of human beings.
