Chapter 103: The Collapse of Civilization
Back in the room, Li Qing was in a heavy mood.
Yesterday, he still has assets of hundreds of millions, is a famous writer, won the Donghua Literature Award, has a happy life, has a beautiful girlfriend, and his life is so perfect, perfect as the protagonist.
The perfection aroused God's jealousy, and God wanted to toss him, so the end of the world came, and there was no qiē left.
Hundreds of millions of assets have all turned into ashes, and the identity of a writer is also in vain.
The world is apocalyptic, and many people are precarious, so there is still time to read his novels.
Fortunately, Li Qing followed Old Man Qin and learned martial arts, and even reached the realm of dark energy.
In the Taiping years, Li Qing's martial arts, when he reached the realm of dark energy, he was very powerful and amazing, but the so-called martial arts cultivation was more of a dragon-slaying skill, and there was no place to show it.
It's just that with the advent of the end of the world, his martial arts gradually have a place of use, killing some zombies in danger and protecting some human survivors.
One qiē one qiē, as if it were a dream, the previous qiē all kinds of changes were too fast, and the fast Li Qing was a little uncomfortable.
It's just that if you don't adapt, you have to adapt, natural selection, survival of the fittest, and even more so in the end times.
In the era of peace, in the era of high welfare, even if it is a waste, even if it is poorly adapted, there is state relief and social welfare. It's just that in the last days, there is no social welfare, no government relief, some just survival of the fittest, and the unfit become zombies or are killed.
No matter how quickly the style of painting changes, it is necessary to adapt, life is so cruel.
"The end is coming, and the civilization of the earth is going to collapse!"
Li Qing thought.
Alone, it is too weak to cope with the challenges of nature and the challenges of society.
Thus, there were clans, tribes, and city-states. There are families, there are kingdoms, there are empires, there are parties. In order to huddle with each other, increase the possibility of resisting natural dangers and social crises.
And with that came the birth of civilization.
Tribes, city-states, families. Kingdoms, empires, parties, are essentially the equivalent of the flesh; And civilization is equivalent to the soul.
Tribes, city-states, families, kingdoms, empires, parties, are the carriers of civilization. It's as if the body is the carrier of the soul.
After all, the body will decay and decay one day, but the soul can be constantly reincarnated, constantly reborn, turned into a baby, and survived again.
Civilization is more important than tribes, city-states, families, kingdoms, etc., just as the soul is more important than the body.
There is no soul. It's just the walking dead.
Without civilization, a country would be extremely powerful, economically prosperous, and extremely strong in national defense. But it is still a strong foreign force, and the so-called prosperity is just a flash in the pan.
The ancient Egyptians, once splendid, now only the lonely pyramids remain; The ancient Greeks once crisscrossed the Aegean Sea and were invincible. Now all that remains is ruins; The ancient Romans once ruled all of Europe, and the Mediterranean Sea was only an inland lake, and now only rubble remains; The ancient Indians were once extremely rich and well-fed, but now there are only legends left.
One civilization after another has disappeared in the long river of history, and only the Chinese civilization has survived alone.
Chinese civilization, can still survive today, I have to say that luck, odd number.
And China can continue to prosper in the world for two thousand years, from the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, has been prosperous, even if there is a split, there is a civil war, but prosperity is the mainstream, mainly with a strong civilization. Civilization is equivalent to the soul is reincarnated as the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the Song Dynasty, or the Yuan Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty.
Even after the Opium War, after a hundred years of humiliation and a decade of stagnation of the Cultural Revolution, in a short period of time, it hit the second place in the world, just because it maintained Chinese civilization.
The essence of civilization exists, and the country can be strong, even if there are twists and turns, it can rise quickly.
If there is no civilization, it is easy to be short-lived.
However, civilizations are born and die, and many civilizations have died, and some have died completely.
The collapse of civilization is also known as the end of the world.
What is Doomsday?
The demise of one family is not called the end of the world, it may be that one family perishes, and another family rises; The demise of one country may lead to the rise of another, just as the Tang Dynasty fell and the Song Dynasty rose again!
None of this is the end of the world.
Only the death of civilization is called the end of the world.
Greek civilization died, and out of the ruins was born a nation called Greece, but this Greece was not Greece.
Roman civilization died, and a country called Italy appeared in the wasteland, only Rome is Rome and Italy is Italy. Rome is not the father of Italy, and Italy is not the son of Rome.
After the death of civilization, it is difficult to be reborn, even if it is in the old land, the kingdom is established again, it is not the original civilization.
The death of many civilizations has a similar process, first there are internal contradictions, and too many civilization toxins are born, just like an apple rots from the inside; Then the invasion of foreign civilizations began to collide with the local civilization, destroying the local civilization, leading to the collapse of the local civilization, death, and the end of the world.
An apple first rots from the inside, and then only needs to gently stick out a finger, and the seemingly brilliant apple immediately reveals the rotten core.
Once the Southern Song Dynasty suffered the invasion of the Yuan Dynasty, the Chinese civilization and the grassland civilization collided together, the Chinese civilization failed, and was almost destroyed, which can be described as the end of the Chinese civilization.
Fortunately, the Chinese civilization was extremely resilient, survived the difficult times, and achieved a great revival.
Some people claim that the invasion of the grassland civilization has helped the Chinese civilization to kill viruses and understand the toxins of civilization.
It seems to propagate the idea that aggression is to accelerate the modernization and industrialization of a certain country; Colonization is to accelerate the realization of national sovereignty and freedom in a certain country; And the mass murder is for the evolution of human beings and the promotion of human civilization.
But they forgot that the barbarian invasion of Rome led to the collapse of Roman civilization; The barbarians invaded Rome not to help Roman civilization kill viruses, but only to destroy miè.
The Mongol invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Manchu invasion of the Ming Dynasty were not for the purpose of killing viruses, but just plundering and destroying.
The Chinese civilization has survived so far only because the Chinese civilization is extremely tenacious, can quickly absorb the nutrients of foreign civilizations, can quickly adapt to society, and can survive better.
Today, in the era of globalization, there is only one civilization, and it is called the civilization of the earth.
And now, an alien civilization has invaded and begun to invade the earth civilization to destroy the miè earth civilization.
It's like Westerners invaded the Americas and wanted to destroy the Mayan civilization, and the Mayan civilization also destroyed the Mayan civilization.
It is as if after the Opium War, Western civilization invaded China, wanting to completely destroy Chinese civilization and completely Westernize China, as if it had achieved repossession.
In the previous years, Li Qing's experience in Donghua seemed to say that the earth's civilization was facing a crisis, just like the Qing Dynasty was facing a crisis on the eve of the Opium War.
Without the invasion of the West, perhaps the Qing Dynasty would have fallen like the Ming Dynasty, followed by a peasant uprising, a revolt by the gentry, the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the establishment of another dynasty, which has achieved a change of dynasty.
At that time, the Chinese civilization may be facing a crisis, but it will not collapse, just like an explosive, without a fuse, it will never be able to explode.
However, once a fuse appears, it may explode immediately, and Chinese civilization will collapse.
And before, Li Qing's experience in Donghua seemed to show that the earth's civilization was facing a crisis, but it was only a crisis, a hundred-legged insect that was dead but not stiff, and it was not dead.
Crisis is like dynamite.
The storage of explosives is always a potential safety hazard.
It's just that without a fuse, the crisis may not break out, and it will be difficult to collapse in the end.
However, the alien invasion detonated the crisis of the earth's civilization in an instant, and the earth's civilization collapsed.
PS: Civilization, it's too hard to write. Readers don't understand it, and I don't understand it. The so-called doomsday stream, the so-called alien invasion, in my opinion, is equivalent to the invasion of Westerners in the Americas, ruining the Mayan civilization; Westerners invaded China and destroyed Chinese civilization.
This book wants to write a novel on the theme of civilization, writing about the crisis of civilization, the collapse of civilization, the collision of civilizations, and the rebirth of civilizations.
Among them, Li Qing's experience in Donghua, the period of life in the city, can be understood as a crisis of global civilization;
And now, writing about alien invasions, zombie viruses, the end of the world can be understood as the collapse of civilization on Earth. (To be continued.) )
