Chapter 2827 Praise the Sun
The surface will be abandoned sooner or later, so there is no need to maintain facilities, so the surface has now degenerated into an agricultural civilization. However, the former high-level officials were kind enough to stay on the surface and not enter the underground city, and die with everyone.
The rotation of the earth has been slowed down by braking, and the sun will no longer rise from the east and set in the west. The living environment on the surface is getting worse and worse. Duran, the smuggler, clearly felt that everyone's life was getting harder and harder, but they had to survive even if they were sad. Then they began to escape. The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the air was getting thinner and thinner, but they still had to survive.
The people on the surface will become the price of solving the problem, and the people in the underground city will get the fruits of solving the problem until new problems arise.
Once the escape begins, the temperature will get lower and lower, and then even the air will condense, and there will not be enough carbon dioxide to produce flour, because most of the carbon dioxide on the earth is not actually produced by humans, but emitted by livestock, but when animals other than humans die, carbon dioxide is also getting less and less, not to mention that a lot of gas will escape into the universe.
So in the end, we still have to breed earthworms and cockroaches. Fortunately, this breeding technology has been mature for a long time. The insect industry is also a part of agriculture, and the microbial industry is also indispensable.
Duran wondered if he should provide the technology of the blessing. The healing blessing does not need to wear clothes in the ice and snow, and he will not die. Of course, there is also the genetic technology in "Knights of Sidonia" that can go without food for more than ten days by sunbathing, which is also a good choice after food is difficult to sustain.
If there is no food, then we have to find a way to make humans survive without food, so that humans can get energy from other places. Of course, there are technologies such as uploading memories to virtual space, turning humans into batteries, and using human corpses for circulation. Only relying on human life and death can form a complete closed loop. If Duran takes out these technologies commonly used in the end of the world, perhaps humans will not have civil strife before and after the helium flash.
There is less than a hundred years before the helium flash, and this period of time is also the process of accumulated conflicts in the dungeon. In fact, it is already very good that the rules of the dungeon can run for a hundred years. At least it is relatively equal and everyone abides by it, so it can last for a hundred years.
If there are all kinds of unfairness, it won't last for a hundred years, a few decades is more.
But in a hundred years, even if there is family planning, the problems that should arise will still appear, the population will still increase, resources will still be insufficient, and everyone's dissatisfaction will still emerge.
Since ancient times, there have been people who follow the example of the ancient kings, and later there were people who followed the example of foreign countries. Did the sons kill their fathers and the brothers kill their brothers in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Of course there were. The Legalists pointed out long ago that the Confucianists following the example of the ancient kings is like looking for a sword on a boat, which violates the principle of specific analysis of specific issues. Not to mention following the example of foreign countries, they are crazy about saying that the moon is rounder in foreign countries, but in the end their faces are swollen, but they will continue to say it. Is it because they are stupid? Not stupid, but they have to say so in order to build their own system and grab resources.
If they don't say to follow the example of foreign countries, they have to join the original resource allocation rules, which must belong to the middle and lower reaches, but if they build their own system that follows the example of foreign countries, they will be in the middle and upper reaches, not to mention that foreign countries have indeed been developed in the past period of time and give more money.
Following the example of the ancient kings is still better than following the example of foreign countries. After all, the era of the ancient kings is far away and can be described arbitrarily. But foreign countries are outside. With the development of the Internet, no matter what happens, it will be known to the world within a day. If you continue to attack foreign countries, it will be very stubborn.
So the rebels in the Wandering Age are actually the Sun Age. They say how good the Sun Age is and we want to go back to the Sun Age. After that, they collide with the accumulated public grievances and quickly become a prairie fire. Just like the mustache in the World War II era, he is also a raging firewood, leading the resentment in the country.
Duran thought that if there was technology, everyone’s resentment would not be so great. This time has arrived at the Escape Age, which is to circle around the sun and accelerate, reach the third cosmic speed, and break free from the sun’s gravity with minimal consumption.
All engines are started, and the earth begins to accelerate. This process will also take decades. After completion, it will be the Wandering Age.
The surface is washed by sea water again, and the living environment is getting worse and worse. The engine here is constantly burning stones and spitting out flames to push the earth forward. The residents of the underground city grow up and grow old, following strict laws. The retirement age is 80 years old. Because of portable technology, the elderly can also operate various instruments. The children who grow up face a life that has been determined since birth, and they can only accept it whether they like it or not.
Without uncertainty, life is stable, but there is no hope. In addition to the birth lottery, young couples basically have little chance to have children, although many couples do not want to have children. The younger generation has grown up, and their guardians have given birth to children at all costs in order to enter the dungeon. These children who grew up as tickets are quite helpless about the bleak future, so they don’t want to repeat their parents’ mistakes and don’t want their children to suffer, so many people don’t want to have children.
But even if you don’t want to have children, the population will still increase. At least one generation must be sent away before the population will decrease.
It’s really not easy to finally leave the sun. Duran also took various jobs, experienced different workplaces, and experienced how human groups accomplish a task. Generally speaking, it is interest-oriented. Where the interests converge, the power of mankind will be directed in that direction.
Even if there is a generation willing to sacrifice their lives, their ideas and beliefs will not be inherited, and they will eventually need to be guided by interests. However, interests are not created out of thin air. Some people gain benefits, and some people become the price of producing benefits.
When faith disappears, those who originally became the price for free will also want to share some of the benefits. At that time, the distribution method will be chaotic and conflicts will erupt. At this time, the beneficiaries must share the benefits to stabilize the situation and prevent it from getting worse. But the benefits of the beneficiaries are also limited and cannot satisfy everyone. Then opponents will appear, and people who follow the previous king, foreign countries, and the sun will appear.
Humanity has been operating in this way since ancient times. As long as there is a distribution relationship, there will be unfairness. If there is unfairness, it will continue to cycle and cannot jump out of the cycle. Unless suddenly one day everyone really wakes up and realizes that only by liberating the world first and then liberating themselves, everyone has the same faith, then they can jump out of the historical cycle.
"Since there will definitely be rebels, why not me?" Duran said that the rebel profession is still very good, he likes it very much and can give it a try, so he said with a sacred face: "Praise the sun."
The sun is light, the sun is heat, and the sun is a good life. It is wrong for the Wandering Faction to keep humans away from the sun. All the current problems are caused by humans betraying the sun, so we must praise the sun and return to the sun. Duran knew that as contradictions accumulated, when the people's resentment boiled, the spring of the rebels would come. He joined in advance, which can be said to be foresight.
PS: I wish you all a happy new year, and I wish you a happy new year in advance
