Chapter 382: Logical Coldness
Yes, the fossil resources that these tree cores are transformed into after hundreds of thousands or millions of years are really of high quality, comparable to the best oil. As long as there is a certain industrial base, a large number of chemical raw materials can be refined.
Including some raw materials that can be burned in a low-oxygen environment, their calorific value is also very high, which can bring a solid foundation for the industrial revolution.
One of the scientists analyzed: "The method of separating oxygen in industry is simple...... In the atmosphere of this planet, there is oxygen, not a little bit of oxygen, so the air can be compressed and liquefied first, and then the oxygen can be separated according to the different boiling points of various gases. ”
"As long as the temperature is controlled at more than -195.8 °C and less than -183 °C, a large amount of high-concentration oxygen can be obtained, and the economic cost of this industrial separation method is quite low."
"With enough oxygen, it's natural to be able to carry out subsequent developments."
But all the premises are built on ...... The Riley civilization is capable of developing science and technology! Only in this way can they enjoy great benefits in their subsequent development.
If they continue to stubbornly believe in their religion for the next 10 million years and do not make any progress, then they will gain nothing and will bring about their own destruction.
"That's the real truth!"
At this point in the discussion, almost everyone fell into a subtle emotion, accompanied by a little bit of trepidation.
Some people are in a rather excited state, witnessing the ideology of a more powerful civilization, and can't help but think that this "enlightener civilization" is quite interesting.
There are also people who are lamenting, "This civilization is stronger and more benevolent than human beings, but it is also more ruthless, but this coldness can be easily accepted by us." is a ...... Is there a logical callousness? ”
The "Inspirer" gave Riley 10 million years of civilization.
The carbon sequestration behavior of the World Tree is slow, and so is the extinction behavior of organisms...... It will take at least 10 million years to cause mass species to die.
If 10 million years from now, the Riley civilization is still the way it is now, what else is there to say?
Even the Most Virgin only laments, but the Riley people themselves are not angry, and if they are extinct, they will be extinct.
It is impossible for a civilization to help another civilization without a bottom line, and to enjoy the convenience of a higher civilization, it must be interfered with and bear the thinking mode of a higher civilization......
It's like the Animal Protection Society of the Earth civilization, there is a very strange rule: it is forbidden to rescue and feed wild animals.
Wild animals are either put in zoos for rescue or left to fend for themselves.
People can often see hungry animals on TV, because they can't find enough food, hungry and skinny, and most importantly, these animals have a hungry cub, so that people's compassion is stimulated to the greatest extent, and people will donate to it in an endless stream.
In this case, the audience will be very incomprehensible, why is it forbidden to feed wild animals?
Why don't photographers save wildlife?
There are many reasons for this, one is the fear that these wild animals will become dependent and lose their instincts. On the other hand, wild animals in need of rescue are often frail, old, or individuals with various physical and physical defects in the animal population.
Such individuals are naturally eliminated and become a meal on the plate of other animals.
For the natural world, this is a normal natural elimination phenomenon, only the weak and defective individuals can be eliminated to ensure that the population is full of excellent individuals and excellent genes, so that the population can better develop and grow.
At the same time, the so-called "old, weak, sick and disabled" is also a meal for another kind of creature, if humans help a wild animal on the TV show, maybe some other animals will die because of lack of food.
Using this principle analogy, if a civilization does not progress for a long time, but controls the top of the food chain on the planet, in the eyes of some interstellar civilizations, it is undoubtedly pathological.
"Moreover, with the planting of the World Tree, after the mass extinction, the planet will have a higher concentration of oxygen, which is more suitable for the birth of complex life."
After 100 million, 200 million, or 300 million years, microorganisms will evolve that can decompose the "heart of the tree...... The entire ecological environment will gradually become balanced.
Four hundred million years later, species began to explode again.
In 500 million years, new intelligent beings may be born in this world, and they are ecstatic to discover the precious fossil fuels buried deep underground, and start their own industrial era.
However, the past part of history, about this dead civilization, this new civilization will never be known...... Even if you know, you will scold, "stupid", that's all.
The vicissitudes of the sea, the changes of the world, this is the real universe!
Who has stipulated that a species, even an intelligent species, must exist in this universe? Just because you have the wisdom to feel the existence of the "self"?
It was in this discussion that everyone felt a very pure idea that came from the civilization of the Inspirers.
If you don't progress, then please die and give way to the civilization behind you.
Of course, according to most people's opinions, the civilization of the enlightened is still a very kind and intelligent civilization...... One can only peek into a little bit of its ideas in what it does.
Hearing Zhang Yuan's reasoning, I guessed that Li Zhendong would have no way to refute it for a while.
The whole ** is already very logical.
If the other party is the so-called "organic harvester", no matter what, he has to wipe out the native civilization at will, right? These indigenous civilizations mean huge variables, like pests on crops, as long as a certain amount of industrialization is developed, these fossil fuels will be used first, and then they will harvest a fart.
In the end, Professor Li Zhendong said: "I still suggest that if you arrive on the next living planet, you still need to conduct a rigorous investigation of the local indigenous civilization, whether there are traces of the enlightened civilization...... Including whether there is a trap similar to the Riley civilization, which will become extinct after millions or tens of millions. ”
"We have to be careful about whether what this civilization has done with good intentions or malicious intentions, and it may involve the earth itself."
Many experts discussed this for a while, and they collectively agreed that there should be no such traps on Earth...... Even if there were, humanity would have already passed it.
However, Zhang Yuan still nodded and said: "This is no problem, about what the Enlightener civilization did 150,000 years ago, it will definitely be the focus of the next interstellar journey." I'll also ask the Badit to see if they have any news about it. ”
In this silence, everyone gradually left, and Zhang Yuan returned to his captain's office and sighed softly.
After all the discussion just now, the humans are not prepared to help the Riley people too much.
Humans have already given them some rudimentary knowledge in this transaction, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, if the Riley people put this knowledge on the shelf, leading to their own extinction, how can they blame the humans?
"yes, there's nothing to be sorry about, so be it, alas......"
