"Science" does not have a positive or negative connotation, it is just a way to understand the world and study problems. To give a simple example, when people say that Chinese medicine is not a science, it is not derogatory at all, because it is a method of accumulation of experience in itself. However, to say that Chinese medicine is completely ineffective is to slander the facts.

Leaving aside this aspect for the time being, at least scientism is more in line with objective laws than empiricism and can promote the development of productive forces, and this is sufficient.

As far as the current Taipu civilization is concerned, because the world is divided into more than 1,000 countries, each with a different culture, it has become very difficult to truly unify the world and produce a cohesive force belonging to the entire civilization.

Under this premise, the professor on the stage came to the conclusion: "...... So we speculate that in the next few hundred years, it is unlikely that Tapstar will be fully integrated. It is possible that a country similar to the Xia Kingdom on Earth will appear, unite several great powers, and rush out of its own planet. ”

"As for the rest of the country, what should be abandoned can only be abandoned."

"It's just one possibility...... It is more likely that it will not be able to break out of its own planet, and there is no way to even give birth to controlled nuclear fusion, and become a mediocre civilization that stands still. ”

At this point, many people sighed silently.

The reason why in the 20th and 21st centuries of mankind, the major powers assisted countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America just to obtain economic growth points. If it really reaches the point where it can develop alien planets, the cake that can be shared is too big, and there is no need to think about the problem of intraplanetary games, let alone the life and death of poor and small countries. It's too late for everyone to develop space, who cares about the poverty and backwardness on the other side of the planet?

A little humanitarian help is actually useless, if the entire cultural level is not good, the spiritual core is not good, this kind of country will not be able to rise after all.

Between cultures, there is a distinction between advanced and barbaric. If a certain culture cannot promote the progress of the whole society, it is likely to be a dross culture, and the most important thing is whether the people have the courage to abandon it.

"That's the general history of the Tepu civilization." The scientist bowed slightly, then stepped off the stage.

This historical material is of great help to the historiography of the new civilization of mankind, and it is not like the Riley civilization, which is just some religious classics, and its specific to certain years, the emergence of certain heroes, and the birth of certain ideologies are truly valuable.

Many historians of the new civilization have begun to calculate, deduce, and verify the discipline while predicting what the next step of the civilization should be.

Immediately after that, another geologist came to the stage and gave an important finding: "Analysis of the Possible Traces of the Enlightener Civilization on Tep".

This result directly aroused the interest of many people, and even Zhang Yuan was shocked.

Li Zhendong said on the side: "I can basically deduce the civilized style of the enlightener. They usually predict what kind of difficulties will arise from a certain civilization at a certain stage of development. Then give a little help to this difficulty. ”

"As for whether this civilization can develop to this stage and cross this hurdle, they don't care. Difficulties encountered by the Tepu civilization...... That's a lot, it's a lot! ”

"That's how it should be." A deputy captain next door said, "There are so many civilizations in the universe, where can we take care of them all?" ”

And the opinions of a large number of human scientists are the same, so the difficulties faced by the Tepu civilization are examined in particular.

First of all, in terms of civilization integration, from the results, the Taipu civilization is completely divided, and more than a thousand countries have developed to the present, and there is no possibility of integration.

So it can be assumed that the Enlightener civilization did not pay attention to this, or rather, that some measures were taken, but ultimately failed.

Secondly, the second point is that the industrial problems in the high-gravity environment, especially heavy industry, appear to be a bit difficult and slow to develop. Don't look at the fact that they can build big empty ships and big ships, but the whole process takes more than ten times as long as humans!

Originally, after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, science and technology should have developed rapidly, but the Taipu people found that the power of machines was not as strong as that of traditional livestock, and they took hundreds of years to improve the steam engine.

"It's an easy question to understand." A mechanical expert explained, "A simple example, a steam turbine, a rotating steam power unit, in different gravity environments, the flow direction of steam is very different, the pressure flow needs to be changed to gravity flow, and the impeller needs to be changed accordingly to ensure that the force is balanced." ”

The higher the gravity, the more difficult and complex it is for heavy industry.

The reason why heavy industry was relocated to the rest of the low-gravity planets in the later stage of the earth's civilization is because the low-gravity environment itself has its own advantages. For example, in a gravity-free environment, 3D printing perfect metal products, key places do not need to be welded, directly cut and flattened the interface together, this technology can be used for high-precision metal products or jewelry inlay, can also be used for industrial production of integrated metal shells.

But on Earth, it is impossible to do this.

The gravity of Tepu Star is far superior to that of Earth, and various instruments and devices can only be done very roughly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the performance is not high.

This is the second difficulty encountered by the Tepu civilization.

The third difficulty is the lack of rare earth elements on this large planet!

This is almost a fatal blow for some cutting-edge industries!

"We investigated the technology system of the Tepu civilization and found that this planet lacks rare earths! Especially heavy rare earths! ”

There are two kinds of rare earths, one is heavy rare earth and the other is light rare earth. Heavy rare earths are more important and valuable than light rare earths.

The land area of this planet is far larger than that of the earth, but the lack of rare earth raw materials has led to the performance of many materials, which is difficult to improve.

The geologist, who played a video on the screen that simulated the natural birth of the planet, explained: "Why is there a lack of rare earths? Mainly because of high gravity...... As we all know, rare earths are mostly heavy elements with large atomic weights, which are easy to sink to the underground core with the accumulation of time. ”

The planet is too big, the gravity is too great, and it has existed for more than five billion years, which has caused a large number of heavy elements to have sunk to the ground. Therefore, the proportion of heavy rare earths in the earth's crust is lower than that of the earth.

And then, of course, the Tepu people were miserable.

Zhang Yuan sighed: "If this civilization can mine the earth's core, then there is no shortage of rare earths, but the problem is that even we don't have the technology to mine the earth's core, and of course they can't." ”

In fact, in the crust of Taipuxing, even the amount of gold, silver, copper and iron is more scarce, but fortunately, these are common minerals after all, and the base of distribution on the surface is large, which does not affect the normal development.

But if there are no rare earths, it will be directly fatal, greatly delaying the development of cutting-edge technology.
