Chapter 133: Time and Civilization

The changes in the whole history and the rapid differentiation of the gap between the rich and the poor made Zhang Yuan dizzy to watch.

With a deep sigh, he didn't know what to comment.

It's strange and yet familiar.

It's natural, and it's unnatural.

He seemed to remember the past when the urban village was demolished, a group of villagers were overjoyed and ecstatic, and who could refuse the temptation to get rich overnight?

If you put yourself in their shoes, if the price given is enough, it seems that there is no problem in selling the whole country in a package...... There is no dignity in life, and you can't eat enough, let alone the empty slogan of "love the country".

Civilization is still that civilization, but under the influence of time, it is not the original civilization.

In the vast universe, time is an infinite axis, and at various points in time, countless glorious cultures have emerged, and countless cultures have been annihilated and replaced.

Human beings have changed a lot from the forest ape to the modern society, from life habits to the leap of thought, but what will never change is the nature of human beings.

There are still a hundred years of history left, and he has not yet read it, and Zhang Yuan faintly feels that something bad will happen.

He sat in his position blankly, deducing what would happen to the earth's civilization in the future, even though he had ready-made answers in his hands, he didn't want to know much for the time being.

"It's time to get off work, it's time to eat!" Senior Brother Zhao patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder, "Take a break." ”

Zhang Yuan jumped up from the stool and sighed silently.

The two talked as they came to the cafeteria.

The various dishes in the cafeteria are still so unpalatable.

"It's a little bad to control the heat, it's all steamed...... Could it be that those robots that cook vegetables, working all year round, can't even steam a dish? ”

Zhang Yuan misses Lin Xuanxuan's cooking a little.

"I also think that the food is not very good these days. It could be that there is something wrong with the robot...... When we're done, we'll check it out. ”

This kind of cooking robot is actually quite simple. Programs are accurate to the millisecond, but they are not smart at all, and it is impossible to tell if there is too much water and if there is a steam leak.

If the robot is aging and something goes wrong in one link, it will make the food taste worse.

"By the way, do we have that kind of intelligent robot here? The kind that can do almost any housework. Zhang Yuandao, "The Foundation should have sent the source code, right?" ”

"Of course, in a simulated environment, the entire set of source code can be run in supercomputing." Zhao Qingfeng said: "But the hardware is not good. There are hundreds of thousands of parts, where did we get these matching parts......"

"What about 3D printing?"

"The first robot is often the most difficult, and even with the exact same drawings, we have to figure it out for a while. Coupled with the fact that many of the current production lines have been shut down, research is a bit slower. ”

"Okay......" Zhang Yuan gave up on the idea. He felt that it was a pity that he had better technology, but it was limited to productivity and could not be used on a large scale.

While eating, the two chatted about the historiography of the new civilization.

Zhang Yuan said: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhao." The successful launch of the second deep-space colony ship, the Golden Sun, a small prophecy of the historiography of the new civilization, succeeded again. ”

"Really?" Zhao Qingfeng smiled, "The future is unknown. How do you know that there will be no launch of the third one? You've only looked at the first two hundred years of history, and there's a hundred years to come. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Because the Deep Space Foundation has begun to decline...... There is no possibility anymore. ”

"I don't think the Foundation has the influence to call on the entire civilization to build a third deep-space colony ship."

The more he studied, the more he understood the terrifying prophecy of the historiography of the new civilization: two ships are the whole of human civilization.

Just as Professor Wang Zhong said at that time, this is not a problem of technology or economy, but a problem of spiritual quality.

Time and civilization go hand in hand.

In some ancient times, soldiers were able to die for the royal family, giving up their lives, and even committing suicide by caesarean section; In certain times, certain people were able to sacrifice everything for their beliefs......

But in times of peace, it is difficult for people to understand the stories of what has happened in the past and find them incredible.

The Earth Era was born in the years when human beings most worshiped knowledge. And during that time, the influence and organizational ability of the Deep Space Foundation was also the greatest.

The Golden Sun was born in the most prosperous period of interstellar trade and interstellar entrepreneurship. Just like the Age of Discovery in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the rapid innovation of technology and the lure of money made people have the most fanatical desire to explore the outside world.

"Their appearance has strong characteristics of the times and did not appear out of thin air. Judging from the current ideology, people have regarded the space project as a common thing, and the project around the solar system is nearing completion. ”

"Therefore, it is difficult for people to have a third motivation to launch a colony spacecraft."

"Very good analysis." Senior Brother Zhao patted his hands and said, "Through the complex calculations of the historiography of the new civilization, there will be a probability of more than 60 percent. ”

He compared: "After 367 years, there was a large conference on the historiography of the new civilization. If you're interested, you can choose to wake up at that point in time. ”

"No problem." Zhang Yuan smiled, can everything after 367 be planned? Well, it's just a good night's sleep, it's not a big deal......

After eating, the two spent a few more hours, trying to fix the rice cooking robot.

Over the course of five hundred years, the entire ship has broken down more and more frequently, and the number of places that need to be maintained has gradually increased. Fortunately, these failures that have occurred in the past are minor failures, not major errors of the core problem.

After solving this little trouble, it was already night, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to Senior Brother Zhao and came to the Star Library alone.

The range is just over one-fifth, but as the distance increases, it becomes more difficult for the spacecraft to receive signals from the Earth. As the Deep Space Foundation weakens, the organization will one day be unable to afford the increasingly expensive cost of transmitting signals.

"Well, maybe."

Zhang Yuan just hoped that that day would come later.

The feeling of being alone is subtle, and it's time to learn about the rest of Earth's history.

Click on a news report, which comes from the 27th century, and is a follow-up survey about the demolition households.

[The get-rich-quick mentality of Mara demolition households]

Mara was a small, impoverished country, and in Zhang Yuan's time, there were no mineral deposits, no capital, and no talent, and there was only that steppe, where the people were basically on the verge of fending for themselves.

But now, it's completely different.
