Chapter 2936 The Final Showdown
When Wandering Earth first actively contacted alien civilization, it discovered that all intelligent life cannot escape the distribution relationship. In fact, the first alien civilization they passively contacted, the dinosaurs, also needed distribution, but the dinosaurs harvested planets throughout the universe, so they had more resources, and the shortcomings of the distribution relationship would not cause problems.
So the problem of civilization is basically a distribution problem, and there is no permanent solution.
Humans looked at the two ideas of Shentong and the princess and found that these were the two paths that intelligent life could take, and there was no other way out. Either work hard or expand outward, but unfortunately neither of them could solve the distribution relationship or the contradiction of the industry.
"Unless humans really understand the ultimate reason, the distribution relationship will definitely become an obstacle to progress." After watching for so long, humans have to sigh at the limitations of intelligent life, and ultimately life still cannot reach the perfect state.
Even if the speed of light is mastered, there will only be a larger area for trading and war.
Just like what Dayu did, cutting wood channels and dredging waterways, the ultimate goal is to allow Kyushu to trade and to bring together the specialties of various places, so the Xia Dynasty was established.
It can be said that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is the truth in the past, present and future. Transportation is the foundation for trade and war, the foundation of the foundation.
Humans are eager to meet aliens. Isn't it also the hope to find another potential customer to exchange what they have with humans? Human production faces the problem of overcapacity. In fact, it was raised as early as the time of Mozi, so he proposed that all industries only need to produce enough goods, and don't need to produce too much.
Mozi can be regarded as the spokesperson of the planned economy, but unfortunately the planned economy cannot be planned just by saying it. The so-called plan is not as good as change. If there is no strong computing power and various variables are not considered, how can there be any planned economy?
In Mozi's time, computing power was limited and it was impossible to implement the planned economy. Therefore, Guan Zhong's extravagance is more in line with the times, can create more jobs, and can solve the problem of overcapacity.
Guan Zhong advocates extravagance. Of course, his extravagance is not just a simple enjoyment, but a means to stimulate the economy and provide jobs through extravagant consumption. He asked that when building the city walls and repairing the palaces, the poor should be hired first, and the work should be replaced by relief. It was not only for the enjoyment of the princes, but more for economic circulation.
In the face of overcapacity, Mozi and Guanzi gave different ideas. In the end, Guanzi's ideas were consistently used in the contemporary era. Stimulating consumption is still an important way to revitalize the economy. However, due to the limitation of computing power, the planned economy is really unable to be accurate and cannot accurately calculate how many commodities are needed in society.
Of course, if there is enough computing power to calculate how many commodities are needed in society, then the planned economy is definitely a weapon to fight overcapacity.
Industry, whether it is handicrafts or large-scale machine industry, will encounter overcapacity. There is no good solution, so the best way is to open up transportation and go to new markets. This is the best solution. So the pioneers will be remembered.
The Wandering Earth now has mastered the speed of light, and it doesn't want to learn from the dinosaurs to destroy the planet, so they can only exchange what they have with other aliens.
But there is a problem. Why do aliens believe in the Wandering Earth? For example, on the planet where the supernatural power is now, they don't trust the celestial beings.
Although the destruction of the dinosaurs was brutal, the cost was very low. They did not need human trust at all. They would just catch up with the Earth and tear it apart. If it was trade, they would first contact the Earthlings and then gain their trust. The initial trade volume would be pitifully small.
Crossing the starry sea, just for this little trade volume? The dinosaurs were not stupid. So we should follow the "Dark Forest Law" and kill it first, which is low-cost and effective.
So it is better to learn from the Great God Civilization to engage in tribute trade, let others pay tribute, and let everyone take the initiative to send things over, rather than to open up the market.
So it is best to settle down in the future, and then rely on the speed of light to open up tribute routes. At that time, let civilizations from all over the world find the Wandering Earth along the trade route, and then do business with the Earth and buy Earth's goods.
Then establish a payment system through tribute trade, and the Earth's currency may also circulate. When currency and goods are sent out at the same time in exchange for resources from other civilizations, it can be considered a stable trade.
After watching the magic and the princess, the Wandering Earth also has to think about its own future and think about how to open up its own trade.
They are all entering a new era. Shentong and the princess face problems, and Wandering Earth also has problems. They are all facing a new world of unprecedented circulation, and they all need to come up with new ways to deal with it.
Before the expansion of the Fire Nation, although the major forces on the planet of the Bending Sorcerer had exchanges, they were mainly the elite class. Now ordinary people can also run around, and transportation is unprecedentedly convenient. The whole society has suddenly shortened the distance, so Shentong and the princess are both thinking about how to plan this world.
Shentong wants to unify the global market through Guanshanhai, and everyone should not engage in regional protectionism. The princess believes that there should be a division of three, six, nine levels, and regular cutting of leeks.
Wandering Earth has entered the era of light speed, and they are also thinking about how to exchange what they have with the civilizations of the entire universe. If they don't want to learn from the dinosaurs, they will have to pay the cost of trust, and they will have to work hard to develop into a great god civilization and engage in tribute trade.
Duran thought that Wandering Earth also had a long way to go, and it would be more difficult to become a great civilization than Shentong unified the market.
Great civilization is not only about the speed of light, but also needs to obtain the support of a large number of civilizations such as the dinosaurs. Now that humans have just entered the speed of light, they are little known. The next road is the most difficult. There must be many detours and pitfalls. No matter how difficult it is, you must persist. If you persist for 100,000 years, you can almost become a great civilization.
Shentong and the princess don't have to persist for so long. As long as they persist for ten or twenty years, the winner will be revealed. The two are competing to see who can mobilize more energy. It is obvious that Guan Shanhai must mobilize more energy than cutting leeks. The princess can only cut leeks in weak areas, and after cutting, she has to share the spoils, so she can mobilize less energy.
And Shentong has gathered more and more energy through construction and development through Guan Shanhai, and the result is obvious.
Whoever gathers more energy and has higher efficiency will win.
The competition of distribution relations is more direct and cruel than the competition of imperial techniques. It is completely the survival of the fittest. If the princess loses in the art of control, she can still say that she lost to the gods, but if she loses in the distribution relationship, she can't find any excuse.
Azula hopes to find the Earth Kingdom as an ally to harvest leeks together. But the Avatar wants to find all the people in the world as an ally. No matter whether they are developed or backward, the Avatar promises to develop and make friends with everyone.
People who harvest leeks cannot become friends with the whole world, because they are inherently deficient. Even if you gain an advantage in a short hundred years by harvesting leeks, history will not end. History is calculated in thousands of years. A hundred years is just a flick of a finger. In the end, history will prove that "the world is not the world of one person, but the world of all people in the world."
The world is not the world of those who harvest leeks, but the world of everyone.
