Chapter 237: The Footsteps of History

In ancient times, the residential communities were tribal systems with clans as the unit, and they were distributed in points on the habitable zone.

Because of the comfort of the environment, coupled with the long dormancy time and short waking time, it is quite difficult to wage war, and there are no ambitious big people in the entire civilization.

Therefore, in the ancient period of hundreds of thousands of years, there has never been a unified community, nor has a large country been formed.

This state of division is actually quite detrimental to the development of a civilization. Without too much exchange, communication, trade, at most only relying on the connection of some "bards", civilization is like a pool of stagnant water, how can there be change?

It is no wonder that for hundreds of thousands of years before the emergence of the "Enlighteners", the Gliese civilization was in a state of ignorance. But this is no longer the case, and as time goes on, the Gliese people are more and more fond of these elegant, almost infinite potential "arts"!

They began to spontaneously yearn for the place where the "Inspirers" once stayed—the so-called Holy Mountain, Goretek!

In particular, some intelligent Gliese people, after making new academic discoveries, are eager to communicate with more intelligent people. The number of geniuses in a tribe is only a few, and if you communicate with idiots, if the other party can't understand it, it's not so refreshing.

Thus, a mighty migration was spontaneously born!

I have to say that this kind of social change is very peculiar and fundamentally different from human beings. Human beings gather together for a better existence, and the Gliese people come together for a better discussion of "art"!

More and more tribes gather in the "Holy Mountain", which will not only produce a collision of ideas, but also various contradictions, frictions and related trade activities.

When the population exceeded 50,000, the rules and regulations, morals, and production methods of the primitive tribes could no longer accommodate such a large population, and greater changes were naturally needed.

Thus, in this historical context, the first recognized wise man of the entire civilization, a great man of the era named "Gando", belatedly arrived.

"Gando", the most brilliant sage of his time, the great mathematician, the discoverer of the law of buoyancy, the agriculturist, the first consul of Goth, led all kinds of agricultural development and fed a larger population.

Great men are called great men because their gaze is far beyond the limitations of their time.

Gando is deeply aware of the limitations of his own civilization, which is a bit frightening compared to the great enlightener civilization.

Because the "Inspirers" never rest!

And they, the Gliezers, had to sleep for about ten days and then wake up for two days. Everyone can sleep when they want, and get up when they want to.

This habit of work and rest makes the entire civilization extremely poorly organized, and it is very difficult to educate even the next generation.

Think about it, even in school, the waking period of students is scattered, how can it be possible to pass on knowledge on a large scale? Is it all self-taught?

Coupled with the fact that the ideology of civilization is inclined to laziness, it is really ...... to want to be a powerful civilization like the "enlightener" It's too hard.

As the first consul in Goth, Gando took great pains to issue a series of policies, unifying weights and measures, currency, developing agriculture, and improving the corresponding laws.

The most controversial is a policy on the work and rest system.

Gando believes that only when all the Gliese people's schedules are unified can they concentrate on doing great things and make Goethetsu stronger!

It's very simple, but it's very difficult, it's really hard......

A natural government that is not unified by violence and elected by the people is very small, and how strong is it to enforce it?

When witnessing this history, Zhang Yuan was full of emotion in his heart, the difference between civilizations and civilizations is really a bit excessive!

Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, day and night, the people of the earth have a natural rhythm of work and rest, and they do not need to be unified at all.

Even all living beings on the earth have their own routines because of the rotation of the planet.

As a result, this civilization is not working, the planets are tidally locked, the outside is eternal twilight, and the underground city is always dimly lit. Coupled with the fact that the environment is relatively safe, they have no concept of time at all.

What kind of "regular work and rest" is simply against nature!

Not letting people sleep is the same as dying!

This wise man who tried to go against his "nature", although he made great contributions to civilization and had great prestige, he also accumulated many political enemies during his 100-year reign. When it imposed a policy of uniform work and rest, it was finally seized by its political opponents, and the angry crowd ousted the consul almost in a violent manner.

"Gando" spent the rest of his life in exile, and no tribe dared to accept it, and no tribe accepted any regular routine.

Zhang Yuan heard the two scientists around him whispering, "Goertek...... Is that the same underground city where our diplomatic team is staying now? ”

"yes, it's probably the most powerful city in this civilization...... A center of science and culture. ”

The progress of history is full of twists and turns.

Until the end...... When the "regular work and rest system" was really born, this wise man named Gando was re-named by later generations.

It's just many, many years since the death of this great man......

Zhang Yuan sighed slightly, how could human beings not be like this?

Sentenced to death by a people's court, Socrates did not flinch in the face of the threat of death, leaving only one famous sentence: "Now, the time of our separation has come, I step towards death, and you continue to live; However, no one knows which of these two outcomes is more pleasant, except for God. ”

Jordano Bruno, in the face of the raging fire and the mad and ferocious faithful, rebuked the Holy See: "You are much more fearful than I am to accept this sentence when the verdict against me is announced! ”

Impassioned on the gallows......

Half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a madman. Ideas that are out of the times are always not so easy to accept.

Li Zhendong, who was sitting next to him, commented: "Hey, but it's not unusual to think about it carefully...... Life is always accustomed to staying in its comfort zone and is not so willing to change. If you are asked to turn the night upside down for no reason, you will definitely not accept it. ”

"Democracy is bad at that, to change a problem, you have to agree with the majority of citizens, and in fact the majority of the people are stupid...... How to put it, it is very naïve and stubborn. If it's a dictatorship, it's going to be enforced all at once. ”

"Dictatorship?" Zhang Yuan sneered, "Where did the dictatorial government come from, there are only some security personnel, and even the army is scattered." ”

Li Zhendong said: "Hey, in fact, I pay more attention to the civilization called 'Enlightener', which has completely changed the historical course of the Gliese civilization through a way of shifting thousands of pounds. Inspirer...... Anyway, you should have done a good deed, right? ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "The good or bad of a civilization state can only be measured by the entropy function, and it is a bit complicated to calculate. However, I also think that the Enlightener did a good thing. ”

"But the darling of a planet is not the darling of the universe. The ultimate creature on the planet is probably just the primary in the universe......"

“…… Evolution has always evolved only to be sufficient, not to perfection, and when it is enough, evolution will stagnate......"

"It's been a long, long time since anything changed in the anatomy of our human body......

Compared to the earth, the survival pressure of the Gliese civilization is too small, and the comfort zone is too comfortable, and it is very, very difficult to change.

The history that follows is simple, after the wise man "Gando" was exiled, because the work and rest habits of all the population have not been unified, there is no way to concentrate on great things, and all kinds of chaos continues......
