Chapter 49: The Destruction of Humanity

Donghua is going to decline, it seems to have been the theme song!

From a social and cultural point of view, Donghua has gone into decline, but it is still far from death.

It's like an old man is seriously ill, and according to the normal rhythm, he may hang up in a few days; But he is a rich man, with a lot of medical equipment, and a lot of advanced drugs, which is enough to give him a long life and live a few more years.

The Song Dynasty came to the end of the period, and it should have been destroyed by the Jin State a long time ago, but the physique was too big, the economy was too developed, and the developed economy was enough to continue life, and it continued to live, so the Southern Song Dynasty lasted for a hundred years before it died completely.

Donghua has declined, but Donghua's economy is too strong, science and technology are too strong, the arms industry is too strong, the finance is too strong, and it has the world's first navy. A large enough economic entity is destined to have enough ability for Donghua to continue its life.

However, no matter how you continue your life, you will eventually die, but it is just a symptom but not a cure.

If you want to come back to life and Donghua regain her life, it is too difficult.

"Writing books, writing those novels, popular novels, best-selling novels, you can indeed make money, make a lot of money; But blindly writing best-selling novels and popular novels is inferior after all! ”

Li Qing pondered: "Making money is the purpose of life; But people don't live just to make money! Some books don't make money when written, or even don't have a manuscript fee, but they still have a lot of meaning. After all, it is a bit narrow to evaluate the value of a book based on the amount of manuscript fee; People write books to make money, there is nothing, but blindly dying for money, there is something wrong! ”

I think that back then, when some people compiled the Analects, there was almost no manuscript fee, but the Analects was still the most famous book in China;

I think that back then, when Marx wrote "Capital", the manuscript fee was scarce, and he even had to pay backwards, and he made very little money from it, but "Capital" is still an epoch-making book.

When Spencer wrote "The Decline of the West", the manuscript fee was also scarce, but its value was so huge that it could be described as shocking and shocking an era.

These books are not popular books, they are not bestsellers, and they do not bring a lot of manuscript fees to the authors, but their existence is of great significance.

Money is not everything, but it is impossible without money. The things that money can do are not difficult things, but the things that money can't do are big things.

It is wrong to measure a book with money, and many valuable books cannot be measured by money in themselves, and can only be said to be the treasure of prices.

"In my previous life, there was a book called "The Decline of the West", and I also wrote a book "The Decline of Donghua"!"

Li Qing's heart moved, and he germinated a book on the rise and fall of Donghua civilization.

This book may not become a bestseller, nor can it bring a lot of manuscript fees, but it still has some meaning!

Making money is the purpose of writing a book, but writing a bibliography is not just about making money!

Thinking of this, the germination in Li Qing's heart became more intense, and he began to write the outline.

The first part writes about the reasons for the rise of Donghua;

the second part writes about the current decline of the East;

The third part is to write about the outlook for the future.

It seems that Li Qing has a habit of writing novels that he doesn't like too detailed outlines, often writing the first three chapters, then the end chapter, and then slowly thinking about the middle chapter.

The design of the opening chapter is not difficult, but at the end of the writing, when it comes to the prospect of the future, Li Qing stops, only feeling that the future is at a loss, the future is cut off, and there seems to be no future.

"Donghua is at the node of civilization, destruction or rebirth; Human civilization is also at the node, destruction or rebirth. In the report, it is said that oil can be used for a hundred years; Coal can be used for 200 years; Natural gas can be used for 300 years. This means that after 300 years, most conventional energy sources are depleted. ”

"At that time, there was no coal resources, no oil, and the only way to use nuclear power, wind power, solar energy, and so on. It also means that within 300 years, mankind must make a big breakthrough in new energy, and turn some black technologies into real technologies, such as nuclear fusion power stations, solar high-efficiency power stations, etc., and successfully develop them. Otherwise, human beings will inevitably be unable to keep up with the speed of consumption due to energy production, which will lead to social unrest and even war! ”

"If Donghua wants to get out of the decline and come back to life, the only way to go to space, develop new energy, and establish large-scale settlements on alien planets. It must be achieved at least in 300 years, otherwise war will inevitably break out and the earth will be destroyed! ”

"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. A country, whose citizens are accustomed to high welfare, can no longer adapt to low welfare. And the government does not dare to reduce social welfare, but can only increase. However, the continuous improvement of social welfare has occupied too many social resources, resulting in insufficient funds for scientific and technological research and insufficient funds for the development of outer space! ”

"People in the world say that those developed countries invest a lot of money in science and technology, but I think the investment is too low. Capitalists have always focused on making profits, while the high-tech industry is essentially like gambling, and more investment may not lead to more gains. The proportion of overall investment is too low, and in the low three hundred years, there will be no major breakthroughs in energy and outer space technology! ”

"The proportion of investment in science and technology is too low, and the low probability is that human civilization is going to be destroyed, the earth is going to be destroyed, and those major technologies cannot make major breakthroughs!"

Having written this, Li Qing couldn't continue to write.

Just because I continue to write, some are anti-human, some are anti-earth.

The era of the fastest development of science and technology is often a time of war, because during the war, under the crisis of life and death, constantly research weapons with great lethality, regardless of cost and interests, research is particularly desperate, and it is easiest to produce results;

In times of peace, on the contrary, the investment in scientific research is much less, and it is often a technology with a large profit, with more investment and less profitable science and technology.

Too much consideration of gains and losses is not conducive to the development of science and technology.

A lot of technology is actually high-risk, low-profit, or even unprofitable.

If there is another big bang in technology, it seems that the only way to do it is to break out again in a world war.

It's just that in today's era, hybrid bombs (that is, nuclear weapons) were born, and once a world war occurs, the world will be destroyed, and everyone will die and die together.

In peacetime, improving the welfare of residents and obtaining votes is the first thing, and as for the development of the economy and science and technology, it is only the second and third.

As for the depth of high-tech development, what is related to the grass people.

A lot of high-tech is far away from ordinary people and cannot afford to consume it; Social welfare, on the other hand, is very close to the people and is related to life.

As for human beings, whether they will perish in three hundred years, what does it have to do with the grass people, the most important thing is to live in the present, after I die, he will be flooded, and after I die, he will not perish if the earth will perish.
