Chapter 135: The Iron Curtain of Mars

Zhang Yuan took a long breath and clicked on the last, and the latest report. 35xs

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Hello to Earth Era, Golden Sun. ā€

"I have to admit that the earth's civilization has entered an unprecedented bottleneck period."

The tone of this report is no longer as peaceful and proud as it was hundreds of years ago, but has become worried.

"All kinds of crises have choked our throats!"

"I'm sorry to tell you that last month, there was an unprecedented general strike that stretched across four planets!"

"The anger of the workers burned throughout the solar system, there were two vicious air leaks, 3,439 people suffocated to death, two space cities were paralyzed, and 17 interstellar ports stopped functioning!"

"We expect that because of this terrorist activity, the GDP of the entire civilization will drop by 11!"

"There are also huge demonstrations on the planet, where people at the bottom demand higher salaries, better health care, and lower prices for houses on the planet......"

"Are they wrong, they're not...... But obviously, this can't be done. The highest-end service is destined to be available only to a small number of wealthy people. ā€

"The high prices of real estate on the earth have long been bound to the entire financial system, and coupled with the strong market demand, it is impossible to reduce prices at will. All of 35xs' economic activities are market-oriented, and there is no shift due to the will of the government. Moreover, the redistribution of benefits will involve vested interests, including elites who have contributed more to civilization. ā€

"They can't sacrifice their own interests to help others. The obstacle in silence is more powerful than the power that erupts. ā€

"Friends of the Earth Era, the Golden Sun, I have to admit that this crisis is different from the past."

"Tsunamis didn't come suddenly, they were hundreds of years in the making."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ The governments of Titan and Europa have jointly reached an agreement to limit production in an attempt to raise the price of raw materials for nuclear fusion in an attempt to ease internal economic tensions. ā€

"Naturally, the global economic circle cannot tolerate the vital energy supply and is being held back by the other side......

"Military orders from various countries are growing at a rate of 20 per year......"

"It's hard to predict what ...... this data will ultimately bring"

"The farthest Titan base, 6-8 astronomical units from Earth, used to take a month or two to travel a spacecraft. Such a huge space interval has caused a series of difficulties in management. The influence of the global economic circle has been weakened a lot over there. ā€

"We don't know what the future holds, we just hope that our civilization will survive this ......"

"War doesn't happen easily, but it won't happen forever. 35xsā€

This is the latest report, and it is accompanied by a lot of political news.

Mutual visits, temptations, confrontations, mediations, condemnations, and so on at the top of the planets.

An iron curtain with Mars as the dividing line is falling.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh, and the worst thing happened. Earth's civilization has entered a low ebb.

What was the reason for the outbreak of World War II? It's because of the economy!

Three wars, four wars? Or because of the energy crisis, the economic problems.

He didn't think that war would solve the problem, and the development of interstellar weapons was so powerful that it was much easier to destroy than to defend. But I don't think that war will definitely not happen, because war is always the best way to divert class contradictions.

If every politician had the highest level of wisdom, he would soon reach an equilibrium in mutual compromise. Unfortunately, this can only happen if both sides have a high level of political wisdom and are transparent.

Angry people at the bottom have no idea what "sanity" is, and will vote for more extreme leaders because of inflammatory language.

The state is an apparatus of violence, and when it is strong enough in external conflicts, then the internal noise is insignificant. In this case, extreme means votes. Populism means that you must lead the younger brother below to hammer others, and if you don't blow others up, you will be overthrown internally.

War has not happened for a long, long time, and many people have long forgotten the cruelty of war, and just feel that they can get something they want through violent means.

The development of history always has its own internal law, and according to the viewpoint of the historiography of the new civilization, a mediocre civilization will naturally not be able to break free from this law if its internal strength is insufficient, and no matter how developed science and technology are.

Human ingenuity, and the pursuit of profit in the genetic nature, are not enough to steer the direction of the entire civilization. It means that after a long period of development, the end of the entire civilization will be in a steady state within a local solution, either entering an infinite loop mode, or entering a steady state, and all around are worse choices, and it is impossible to jump out again.

This is already the latest report, no more.

If you want to know the follow-up, you have to continue to wait.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, not knowing how to describe his current mood.

I remember the words of the leader of civilization when the Earth Age was sailing.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I hope that you can use your wisdom to solve the problem of banality that plagues human civilization and even the entire universe......"

"We will use our history to illuminate the path ahead of you."

Now, this piece of history has appeared.

At that time, Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to the speech of the leader of civilization, thinking that it was just an ordinary speech with a majority of formalism, but now, he understands. The pessimists had long anticipated today's outcome.

Through science and technology, human beings have solved one difficulty after another, from interstellar migration, to aging, to the problem of raising infants, to human-computer relationships......

People have overcome countless difficulties and come to this day with trepidation.

But history has been repeating itself, when the days are good, everyone drinks and talks happily, and when they are bad, they parting ways and taking care of themselves. After a long time, there will be no more hard life, so in order to live a good life again, he began to raise the banner of selfishness to devour others.

That's what humans are.

Marx made it clear early on that mankind cannot continue to revolutionize science and technology. Therefore, this crisis is difficult to solve with technology.

Unless human beings invent curvature spaceships in an instant, they can reach alien planets in an instant, find another Earth, and open up larger colonies, so that the current crisis can be solved.

However, the current human race cannot ......

Zhang Yuan sighed again, sat silently on the stool, and closed his eyes.

I hope that the civilization of the earth can survive this difficulty.

Let's hope.
