Chapter 250: Self-Technological Castration
When talking about this period of history, Gan Yaduo said with a little sadness: "...... Coupled with so many high-ranking government officials, it is impossible for everyone to be born a saint, and there will always be selfishness and personal desires. Under the temptation of a large number of resources, batch after batch of means of production were hastily divided up by a group of high-ranking officials......"
"The more means of production they acquire, the greater the anger at the bottom......"
"As a result, after this incident was poked out, it directly became the fuse of the riots, and under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, angry citizens smashed the city government and tried to seize the universal factory!"
With the example of taking the lead, the entire wave of riots quickly spread from one city to the whole world, and 13 major cities, in just two years, all of them rioted, without exception!
This chaos and turmoil hindered the progress of the whole society, and the competition for 13 universal factories lasted for thousands of years...... There is no such thing as peace, and there is no such thing as a good world. After that interstellar civilization left, everything became chaotic......"
In the dimly lit conference room, Gan Yaduo was a little confused, but his words contained a kind of helplessness and anger, "It's a pity that the Gliese people, who claim to love peace and art, have broken out in the history of civilization for the first time in the history of civilization with a five-figure number of casualties since they acquired the Universal Factory......"
The wheel of history of the whole world always has its own unique trajectory. Anyone who stands in the way is just a mantis arm as a car.
Fortunately, these are stories from 50,000 years ago, and under the wash of time, this period of history no longer seems so sad.
Civilization will eventually calm down and move on.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, every civilization will have such a chaotic history. The same is true of our human civilization...... The struggle for survival is an innate instinct of life. Selfishness is the normal state of life, and unselfish creatures have long been eliminated in the process of evolution. ”
There were just the two of them in the entire conference room, no entourage, and no minutes of the meeting, which amounted to just a private conversation.
This kind of self-blowing up and ugly behavior still requires a certain amount of courage......
But it also made Zhang Yuan more convinced that this civilization needs human help, or rather...... They really want a stellar ship!
The rest of history becomes even more bizarre and grotesque......
All kinds of chaos and turmoil, which lasted for nearly 3,000 years, finally stabilized gradually. According to the Glitzer people's habit of dormancy for 10-14 days and awake for 2 days, coupled with various recreational activities, the working hours of a year are less than 30 days, and the work efficiency is far worse than the 996 blessings of human beings.
Therefore, 3,000 years of turmoil is equivalent to 3,500 years of human beings.
However, in the wake of this turmoil, the original democratic policy slowly disappeared, and in its place, there were 13 military blocs with "fully automated universal factories" at their core!
The universal factory means advanced productivity, far beyond the advanced productivity of the entire era. In the data database, there are how to make guns, artillery, planes, rockets, and missiles!
Whoever controls the Universal Factory is equivalent to owning everything, including supreme power!
In this case, dictatorship becomes the easiest option.
Just kidding, if you control the universal factory, you can directly dictate and become the emperor, who is willing to share power and engage in democracy and freedom?
Of course, because of the habit of a single individual to sleep for a long time and wake up for a short time, when the emperor may be assassinated while sleeping, the dictatorship of the privileged class, that is, the oligarchy, which was improved from the dictatorship of a single person, was formed.
Of the 13 cities, 12 have an oligarchy system, and only the former holy city, Goethe, still retains the habit of democratic politics for various historical reasons.
However, there is only one universal factory in Goertek, and it is impossible to oppose the whole world, so at most it can only protect itself.
As for other cities that do not have universal factories, it is simply impossible to compete with these military oligarchs who control the factories, and they can only gradually become vassals, both militarily and economically.
"So, this stable oligarchy has been handed down, and it is difficult to change, and I don't know how to change it." Gan Yaduo gave a hint of the political landscape of the remaining 12 major cities.
Zhang Yuan was simply stunned, and he asked with a little skepticism: "That is to say...... Except for Goertek, which is an exception, all the other cities are oligarchy? Fifty thousand years have passed now, and it is still an oligarchy? ”
The oligarchy system is arguably the most corrupt and unstable system. Hasn't a deeper change taken place in such a long time?
"Yes, even if 50,000 years have passed, the universal factory is still the most advanced productive force, and the oligarchy system with the military as the core is difficult to overthrow, at most it is just to overthrow some oligarchs and then replace them with another batch of ......"
"In the beginning, there were small-scale wars, but later, everyone found that they were all about the same in terms of productivity, and the progress of science and technology was about the same, and no one could do anything about it. Coupled with the advent of nuclear weapons, a terrifying nuclear balance was achieved, and the 13 cities gradually died down and signed nuclear weapons destruction treaties with each other, achieving permanent peace. ”
"But that's not all...... This is just the first step in our entire civilization. The first three thousand years of history. Gan Yaduo was silent for a long time, and if the two sides really wanted to cooperate fully, it would be difficult to completely cover up this information.
After all, the time for the two sides to be in contact may be calculated in decades or even hundreds of years.
It can only grit its teeth and reveal another amazing piece of history!
Since the acquisition of the Universal Factory, the technology of the Gliese civilization has indeed flourished, but one thing is crucial...... There is almost no technology that is truly its own.
Although science is common, the development of technology is gradual, and it needs the support of the economy and a large number of talents, both of which are indispensable.
As a simple example, if a national enterprise wants to manufacture a mobile phone, according to the technical level of the Gliese civilization itself, even if it understands the various principles, it can only manufacture a classic machine, without a lot of practice and experience accumulation, it is impossible to do it in one step.
And the use of various production methods in the universal factory, can directly be in place in one step, the production of cross-era intelligent machines!
There is no comparison between the two at all!
In this way, the technology tree of the entire civilization itself has been invisibly suppressed by alien technology.
For many industries, knowing that there is such a thing is completely different from actually producing it.
Taking chip technology as an example, the core theory of silicon-based chips is the "band theory", and how to use this theory to make real chips requires a lot of exploration and attempts, and a lot of economic experiments. From the micron level, to the millimeter, and then to the nanometer level, it requires countless investments, talents, and countless failures, but these failures have also laid a solid foundation for future development.
It's good now, I have directly obtained a ready-made product, and it is a scientific and technological product of the second-level civilization in the universe.
The second-level civilization of the universe, even if the Gliese civilization develops self-reliance for tens of thousands of years, it may not be able to surpass the existence!
Therefore, it is not easy to understand these technologies, and naturally no one is willing to increase investment and challenge alien technology, and even the talent pool in this area is very small.
Without enough exploration, it will be difficult for the Gliese civilization to develop its own high-tech industrial system.
