Chapter 183: Faith

[The Muba civilization officially entered the slave period, and more and more Muba people fell in the dark underground, and every burning coal mine condensed the hard work of the slaves......]

[As members of a highly developed civilization, it seems that we should despise this kind of behavior, but as descendants, we have no right to duty, from the perspective of science, from the objective point of view of the development of civilization, the slave period is a normal period in the development of civilization. 】

It was the sacrifice of these slaves that truly laid the foundation of civilization. 】

[The slave period of the Muba people lasted for nearly 3 million years, and in these 3 million years, the evolution of the Muba people took another step forward, and with the sacrifice of slaves, the Muba people at the top of the tribe were also liberated.

They don't need to work for carbon, they don't have to fight over water, the tribal conflict is left to the slaves, and as for the slaves, this is a consumable, and the offspring of the slaves are also slaves, almost an inexhaustible consumable. 】

[The Muba people who were sacrificed and liberated gradually had more time and energy to think, and began to form a kind of thought with their growing curiosity to explore everything in nature. 】

[The culture of the Muba people was born, which marked the beginning of the transition from the survival needs to the spiritual needs of the Muba people, representing a big step forward for civilization at this moment. 】

[The Muba people began to form their own writing, began to use words to record some experiences, cognition of nature, and thoughts on thoughts, and perfected these experiences and cognitions from generation to generation in the inheritance, and perfected those imperfect thoughts. 】

[While the tribes are fighting each other, the cultures are also colliding and exchanging with each other, and the fire of civilization of the Muba people is unprecedentedly bright at that time. 】

[Through continuous experience summarization, the Muba people discovered the metal displacement reaction in the charcoal burning process, and began to create tougher and sharper weapons, which can more easily penetrate the outer protection of the Muba people and penetrate the central nervous core in the center of the canopy. 】

[They used these weapons to harvest the lives of the rival tribes of the Muba in the war, robbed more territory and coal mines, and at the same time fell under the new evolutionary weapons. 】

[The Muba people discovered the phenomenon of energy release in which some specific substances were mixed together, and they invented elemental gunpowder, a gunpowder that mixed with carbon powder and sulfur powder.

The purity was not high, the grain was rough, and the addition of nitrate was not found to make it more powerful at first, but even so, the power of this rough primordial gunpowder was still good under the staggering oxygen content of Mars. 】

[They used gunpowder to make explosives to open mines, used explosives to kill enemies, and began to refine the formula of gunpowder in experience and thinking, and began to add saltpeter to make explosives more powerful.

Even some special acid-base reactions have gradually been mastered by the high-speed development of the Muba people, and it is the preparation of high-energy explosives with more terrifying power. 】

[Although these bombs are not comparable with modern explosives in terms of purity or power, at that time these explosives were enough to crack the mountain when they reached a certain amount. 】

[The birth of metal weapons and the emergence of gunpowder explosives have made the war between the Muba tribes more and more intense, and the number of Muba people dying in the war every day is increasing, and at the same time, civilization is developing faster and faster under the stimulation of war. 】

[In the investigation of later generations, we have studied and determined what happened to the Muba people during this period, and we can't help but be shocked by the belligerence and tyranny of our ancestors. 】

[However, before the development of modern civilization, before the birth of a scientific and orderly civilization system and cultural system, war is undoubtedly the best driving force for the development of civilization......

"There is a difference between the Lu, Muba people here and our human civilization process."

Seeing this, Professor Hill suddenly said in amazement: "The Muba people have not developed totemic beliefs, and there is no trend towards religion. ”

Religion, or faith, dates back to the tribal period of civilization, and is the most effective way to concentrate the power of all civilized individuals.

In a certain sense and perspective, modern companies, organizations, and even national and national cultures are all variants of faith.

It is through the concepts of company, organization, state, culture, etc., that human beings unite intelligent individuals who are not actually related by blood, that is, there is no genetic connection, so as to exert more powerful power and form civilization.

From this point, it can be seen that civilization is the collection of all intelligent life, and faith is the sustaining belt that brings all intelligent life together.

That is to say, faith is an inevitable product of intelligent life in the process of civilization development, but now the Muba people are very strange that they have not developed totems and no signs of faith.

"The Muba people have faith, the tribe is their faith, and the tribal culture is their faith, but the expression is different."

Lu Yi thought for a while and said: "I only believe in myself, I only identify with the tribe, and there is no other faith, which is already a bit like the early form of state, which is already a very modern and scientific way of believing." ”

"Is it possible to develop a modern scientific way of believing in a modern scientific way of believing, directly beyond the period of ignorant belief in faith and totemic gods?"

Professor Hill, who is from the United States and has felt the brilliance of God since he was a child, is somewhat unable to understand this cultural belief of the Muba people.

"It is understandable that from the perspective of human nature, the period of our human totemic beliefs, the period of belief in gods, is caused by insecurity and inner pressure.

At that time, human beings' own insecurity, external threats, or difficult life made them look forward to mysterious totemic powers, or to great gods to save them, and even to fantasize about the afterlife.

This is very much in line with the criteria of human nature and natural selection. ”

Lu Yi explained: "Because of this belief, the external threat, one's own insecurity, including the pressure caused by the difficulties of life, will be alleviated, and you will become comfortable."

And after the inner pressure is relieved, the intelligent life can also stabilize the mind more calmly, thereby improving the probability of surviving the crisis.

Of course, the defects of human psychology and psychology, once the long-term hope is pinned on the salvation of totems or gods, and the salvation of external forces, the belief that was originally only used to relieve pressure will gradually swallow people up and make people lose themselves.

Therefore, faith is an inevitable product of civilization, and even if modern materialist science develops, it cannot eliminate the existence of faith.

Of course, modern human cognition can make us more aware of how to deal with faith, and it is not so easy to get lost in faith.

Humans are predators, and in the process of evolution, Homo sapiens is not considered the top predator in the entire biological chain, and various high-level predators such as wolves, tigers, and lions can kill the ancestors of Homo sapiens at that time.

Therefore, the threat of the outside world and the pressure of survival made Homo sapiens look forward to the mysterious totemic power and the gods to save him.

Even developed out of the national era, developed into the Middle Ages, because we are predators, inseparable from the support of the environment and ecology, we need to eat constantly, and the survival suffering caused by the shortage of food also makes us unable to avoid faith.

And the Muba people are different from us...... As soon as they developed their tribes and started the road of civilization, they were already the overlords of the entire Mars in the absolute sense, except for the threat from hostile tribes and people of the same race, the threat level of other species to them was 0.

Will you have faith in your fellow man? No.

Because we know that they are all the same people as us, even if the United States pressed and beat the third world countries before, what they gained was only hatred, not worship and faith.

In addition, the Muba people are producers, and they do not have the real sense of survival suffering, and they will not hope that God will save us because they can't eat enough food and don't have warm clothes like us. ”

"Didn't the previous Sunshine Crisis, the Carbon Crisis, and the current slaves make the Muba people feel the misery of survival?"

Professor Hill asked about the crisis that the Muba people had encountered before, and if the root of the belief in the gods came from the crisis, from the inner pressure of the intelligent life, then the Muba people had already encountered it before.

"It's different, when the Yangguan crisis was resolved, it was resolved by the Muba people with their own means.

At the time of the carbon crisis, the Muba people had just started the road to civilization, and their accumulation of wisdom and experience made them unable to recognize the concept of God, and could not imagine that there was an omnipotent God to save themselves.

Therefore, after they tried their best to solve the problem, they quickly inhibited reproduction, inhibited activities, and even their mental state was wrong under pressure, because they did not have the concept of faith at that time, and they could not use faith to relieve stress.

This is similar to us modern people, the Muba people did not have the concept of faith at that time, we understood the nature of faith, and materialistic cognition made it difficult for us to relieve stress through faith. ”

Lu Yi used the criteria of human nature to analyze bit by bit: "I speculate that another fundamental reason why the Muba people will not have faith in fantasy gods is that the Muba people are the overlords of Mars in the absolute sense.

Their status on Mars is the same as that of us humans on Earth, and even as producers, they can be more willful than we are, and they are less pressured to survive.

Believing in God and hoping for the salvation of an omnipotent God does not mean that there will be a crisis, which is the thinking that only fanatical believers have.

The normal thinking of an unbeliever, when he encounters a crisis, his first reaction is to find a way to solve it, when he can't solve the crisis by all means, the fear and pressure in his heart are getting bigger and bigger, and when this fear and pressure is about to exceed the limit of bearing, he will fantasize about the existence of God to save himself under despair, and then achieve the result of relieving pressure through this fantasy.

The Muba people are absolute overlords and producers, and the crises they encounter on Mars, who have mastered the fire, will not exceed their tolerance, and they will not be able to solve them by all means.

When there is really an unsolvable crisis, at that time the Muba people have evolved into a modern materialist civilization, and there is no more ignorant belief. ”

"I'm now kind of looking forward to the next step in the civilization journey of the Muba."

After Lu Yi explained, he looked at the Muba people on the screen, and said with some expectation: "It is foreseeable that the institutional development trend of the Muba people must be different from that of our human beings, and their development trend will have great inspiration for the study of the social system of our human civilization in the future." ”

[With the development of civilization, the accumulation of experience, the cognition of nature, and the thinking of thoughts, the wisdom of the Muba people is becoming more and more developed, and the core organs of the nerve center are becoming more and more large. 】

[The high energy consumption of the thinking organ has made the energy obtained by the Muba people also begin to be insufficient, and the light wave absorption capacity of the Muba people at this time has evolved to be able to absorb all light waves in the frequency range from 4 nanometers to 0.9 millimeters.

If we continue to evolve, we will have to absorb all the X-ray and infrared bands, and evolve the ability to absorb radio waves and Y-rays. 】

[The light wave absorption ability of the Muba people has evolved here, and it is becoming more and more difficult to continue to evolve, or the evolution speed cannot keep up with the energy demand speed. 】

[The Muba, who were dissatisfied with the desire for light energy again, began to think, they began to study the glass piece, and began to think about how to make it. 】

[Yes, it is to make, to make this glass chip that once carried the light of hope, opened the path of the wisdom evolution of the Muba people, and pushed the Muba people to the overlord of the planet, and they want to use more reflective chips to get more sunlight. 】

[A famous Muba sage went to the volcanic area, watched the process of the glass being melted by the volcano up close, thought about the reaction process, and explored what kind of material to use to artificially create the glass chip. 】

[The firing of glaze requires high temperature, after countless experiments, the Muba people established the initial cave, isolated the energy in a closed space, and finally succeeded in firing the first piece of glaze through external fire, a piece of glass with low transparency, but it represents an era of glaze. 】

[That period was the 100 million years since the Muba people walked out of the North Pole......]

[From then on, the sunlight pouring down on Mars was no longer absorbed and reflected back into space by the surface, but began to be reflected directionally by pieces of glass lenses, and then absorbed by the shepherds. 】

[What amazes us even more is that through elemental analysis, only a few decades after the appearance of large-scale glazed sheets, the primitive steam engine also appeared. 】

[We can't go into detail what happened back then, we guess that it should be in the process of firing the glass, because a closed space is needed to obtain high temperature, so in the process, the Muba people found that when the temperature inside the closed space increases, the closed container will produce a strong pressure, which prompts the birth of the steam engine.

Otherwise, we can't imagine what kind of situation will make the Muba people pay attention to the power of the boiling phenomenon, after all, the physiological temperature tolerance limit of our Muba people is only about 54 degrees Celsius, and as a producer, we don't need to deal with boiling water on weekdays. 】

[The appearance of the steam engine represents that the Muba civilization has entered another level and entered a glorious civilization period.

When this steam engine was born, I can't put into words what it was like to have our entire evolutionary history research team in the heart of the engine.

I just want to say that to this day, to this day, when I am numb and desperate to leave the information of civilization, the steam engine that was excavated from the geological layer and corroded and only retains its approximate shape is still preserved in the largest museum of the Muba civilization.

It is very well preserved, and it is still in a newly unearthed state, and the turmoil and madness have not affected it, and it will follow our Muba civilization to its demise with other items that represent the great process of the Muba people.....]
