Chapter 589 A Brief History of Civilization (2)
Jiang Yao also felt that it was understandable that the people of Civilization No. 20 had such thoughts.
"As the saying goes, if you don't serve yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. After all, after you have achieved such a high position in civilization, no one would be willing to let it go."
"But if you succeed, it will be a disaster for future civilizations, and the efforts made by previous civilizations will also be in vain."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao continued to look down to understand what happened at that time.
And just as he thought, the plan was relatively successful at first. After all, only those high-level officials knew about the tombstone.
So they can still hide the truth when they operate, but there is another voice among these people, that is, the continuation of civilization and the continuation of life.
They believe that they should not waste the efforts of the previous dozen civilizations. At the same time, they also believe that even if the transformation is successful, they will not be able to support these people to survive to the next era.
Reasonable ecologies are never real ecologies, and the time they last will decrease as the number of ecological types increases.
If we want to ensure that the ecosystem can be maintained normally in the later period, it is also necessary to control the number of people inside.
If a certain limit is exceeded, it will be self-evident what will happen in the ecosystem. Even as time goes by, after the people in the ecosystem change batch after batch, it is very likely that a more stringent hierarchy will emerge. system.
All in all, they speculated on the internal situation of the ecology, and combined with the current situation, they finally made a decision.
Making this matter public to a few people who are still alive does not bring hope to civilization. It is better to leave hope to others and to subsequent civilizations. Although they do not know each other, they all share the same Being in this little universe.
In order to go to a wider world, I will sacrifice all my life.
In the end, they decided to pass on this will, and because of this incident, Civilization No. 20 broke out into an unprecedented war, and this war was divided into two factions.
The internal voices of the two factions, which are regarded as water and fire, are naturally not pure. They only want the continuation of civilization, but more of a psychological imbalance.
They know that even if the plan succeeds, it won't bring about much change.
Because only a small number of people can always enter the ark, and most people can only be left outside. And those who stay outside need to spend their own efforts in order to build the ark.
Even in order to make this thing, there will be sacrifices, but what he exchanged for his life is that he can only let that group of people live in it, and he can only become cannon fodder in the end.
This kind of thing is something that no one wants to see, and those who choose to create it are naturally at the top of civilization.
They have the right to live there.
Of course, the final result of this matter is self-evident.
The person who finally chooses to inherit will win the final victory.
Although these people have their own thoughts, it is undeniable that their goal has been achieved, and everyone must have the same ending as them.
An incident like this also caused some people in the entire civilization to fall into deep thought.
They believe that such a thing can happen in their own civilization, and maybe it will happen in other civilizations as well.
The reason why such things did not happen in the previous civilizations may simply be due to good luck. The answer to the inheritance of civilization and the universe cannot be left to good luck, so they began to study corresponding defense systems, intelligent systems, and facilities. hidden system.
Their idea is that when the technological level of civilization reaches a certain level, some intelligent robots inside the tombstones can establish contact with these people and observe whether these people are trustworthy and trustworthy through various methods, then the tombstones will appear In front of them, show them the truth of the universe.
So Civilization No. 20 is a change for the entire bubble universe.
All civilizations in the future have learned their lessons and constantly added some new weapons inside this tombstone. The technology of these weapons is top secret and will not be recorded in the tombstone. The purpose is to ensure that Tombstone security.
In this way, civilization continues, and similar situations have occurred in subsequent civilizations. However, because the tombstone itself is also offensive, and the tombstone that combines the wisdom of many civilizations is not so easy to defeat, so except for the tombstone of the 20th civilization that has suffered , except for a certain degree of damage.
Tombstone has not received much damage since then.
In this way, many civilizations continue from generation to generation, and they selflessly dedicated their technology to the previous civilization.
The reason why the civilization and technology of this world can develop so rapidly is because of the selfless dedication and sacrifice of these civilizations that have created internal brilliance.
Before the cataclysm came, these civilizations frantically developed their own technology. When they found that they were still unable to withstand the cataclysm, they chose to dedicate all their technology to contribute to the next civilization.
Jiang Yao was silent when he saw this.
From these contents, he saw the efforts made by generations of strong and unyielding civilizations to get out of this world.
"If such a civilization appeared in the big universe, I'm afraid it would already be at the pinnacle of the universe."
"But if such a civilization really appears in the big universe, will they still have such a spirit? For the civilizations in this world, leaving here is their only thought."
"The cataclysm that occurs every 60 million years affects the entire civilization and is a sharp sword that weighs on the head of all civilizations."
"It is also because of the spur of this sharp sword that they can accumulate from generation to generation and finally stand at such a height."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao shook his head and continued to read the information.
The situation of subsequent civilizations will basically be similar, but the real turning point was Civilization No. 43.
This civilization is very different from previous civilizations.
With the technological help from many previous civilizations, their technological level has reached unprecedented heights. Although it is still very insufficient compared to many in the large universe, they have reached the extreme in understanding the matter inside the small universe.
But when they reached this point, they found that all the conjectures left by these previous civilizations were shattered, which plunged this civilization into despair.
Although the specific situation was not stated clearly, the despair he felt at that time could be seen from the words spoken by the scientist.
"The 14.5 millionth experiment is over."
"It combines the hard work of forty-three generations of civilization and has gone through tens of millions of experiments."
"We considered all possibilities."
"We have been conducting research on the synthesis of HM341 metal from the beginning of civilization to the present."
"As the most important metal in making tombstones and an extremely rare metal in the entire universe, it is of great significance to us."
"As long as we can successfully synthesize it, the era of great destruction will no longer be a problem for us."
"But after so many generations of civilizations' efforts and considering various possibilities, this experiment ultimately failed. This special metal cannot be synthesized or replaced." "And its content is very rare in the universe. "
"So the idea of relying on manufacturing this kind of metal to avoid disasters may have been wrong from the beginning. At our stage, the understanding of matter has reached its extreme. Under such circumstances, we still cannot unravel its mysteries."
"To future civilizations, if you in the future cannot break through the existing understanding in terms of material understanding, then please do not spend your time on this meaningless thing."
"If your material understanding reaches a certain level in the future, you can consider coming back to study it."
"Before that, I hope you can consider changing your research direction. After combining so many civilizations and going through such a long time, I feel that one-guard defense is not a good place to go."
"Perhaps we can revive the study of the cages that trap us."
This researcher left this advice to later civilizations at the end.
In the following civilizations, they did not listen to this person and continue research in this area, but the progress they made in the end was very small.
After experiencing about five civilizations in this way, the sixth civilization finally began to transform, and they focused their research on the bubble that trapped them.
After changing the direction, the gears of civilization development changed again, and the scientific level that will be famous in the future is also constantly improving.
Just like this, spring passed and autumn came, and time passed day by day. As the research deepened, they also deeply felt the power of the outer layer and the energy body, but also had an indescribable feeling of powerlessness against it.
They tried their best to invest a lot of resources, but they were unable to break through that layer of barriers.
Jiang Yao is also very clear about the situation of that energy body. It can only analyze about 10% of the substances contained in it, but the bubble civilization relies on the accumulation of generations to abruptly understand 20%. .
Jiang Yao knew very well that the reason why he was able to achieve such progress so quickly was because he stood on the shoulders of giants. The civilization inside the bubble did not have anyone to guide the way. All they could do was accumulate from generation to generation.
In this way he continued to watch the development of civilization.
As for the bubble salt, it took about 10 rounds of civilization and finally achieved 20% of the research progress. According to this progress, especially in the later stages, it will be increasingly difficult to obtain progress, and it may even be impossible to do it again. Progress was achieved, so the 11th round of civilization stopped research in this area.
At this stage, their understanding of matter had risen to a whole new level, and they began to think about metal again.
Civilization 62 is a legend.
He is the only civilization among so many people that has escaped the era of great destruction.
That's right, they developed metals that could withstand catastrophes.
This discovery made everyone very excited. Although they did not research the original metal, they researched a metal that was exactly the same in terms of strength and other aspects and replaced it.
This is a great moment.
They used more than 5 million years to produce enough metal to build their ark, and then let everyone in the civilization hide in it.
This civilization single-handedly ushered in a new era of civilization.
The Era of Hope.
Although their relationship wasn't very good.
Because after the destruction, although their ark successfully withstood the destructive force, no one inside them survived.
No one knows why this is, because when Civilization No. 64 entered the interior of the Ark, they were also confused when they saw the equipment and robots that were still functioning normally in the Ark, as well as the people who had long been lying in the tombstones.
Although it is not clear what happened specifically, this civilization is very clear. After a full 64 rounds of civilization, two civilizations finally met each other, although they were separated by Yin and Yang.
But it was a very meaningful meeting.
This meeting allowed them to see clearly what kind of seniors were like who removed obstacles for them. It also made them understand that their efforts were not in vain.
In each reincarnation, they left nothing behind.
And this time, this is the only civilization that has left traces in many reincarnations.
But this change has raised a question in many people's minds, that is, what exactly has this civilization experienced.
At the same time, this problem also changed the research directions of several subsequent civilizations. In the past, they only thought about how to resist disasters and how to escape disasters, but they did not think about what this disaster was.
How can we resist and escape if we don’t even know its essence?
Ever since, the following generations of civilizations began to conduct research in this area, and finally they got an answer that made them feel very incredible.
The truth about the Great Destruction.
Civilization No. 70, this is the civilization that finally saw the truth of the catastrophe in the bubble universe after countless years.
Ever since they discovered that the metal they had worked so hard to create could not withstand the Cataclysm, subsequent civilizations put all their energy and time into studying the Cataclysm, but in the end their results were disappointing.
No civilization has truly brought out relevant information.
Even though they prepared instruments for observation in advance, they did not achieve any good results.
Until a scientist from Civilization No. 70 developed a special technology.
Soul Technology.
And what makes Jiang Yao feel terrible is that the level of soul technology he has developed exceeds his imagination.
Let your soul leave your body.
This also frightened Jiang Fengqi.
If this technology is further studied in depth, it will be the technology he used to kill the Yueling Civilization.
In order to develop this technology, he also used a lot of manpower and material resources to push the soul technology to this level, under the premise that he had the same reference object. However, the scientist in front of him only relied on himself. and the team under him have achieved such success.
This made him feel very incredible.
