For many industries, knowing that there is such a thing is completely different from actually producing it.

High school students who are theoretically involved in the atomic bomb know that it is not a chain reaction. But if you want to really produce a nuclear bomb, I don't know how many orders of magnitude more difficult.

The core theory of silicon-based chips is the "band theory", an approximate theory that can be learned in an undergraduate. However, 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 of 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.

In addition, all industrial standards are designed by alien civilizations, and for many standards, reverse engineering is too difficult, and the Gliese people don't know why they are designed this way, they just copy it as it is.

Of course, from a practical point of view, this is not a problem with alien technology. The technology in the database has no elements of fraud, from the most basic steam revolution, to the internal combustion engine, to the era of electrification and the age of information.

Since Gliese 581g doesn't have any oxygen, they can't even fully replicate the technology inside. Therefore, the main job of scientific researchers day and night is to find products suitable for their own civilization in the database, and there are naturally few innovations about their own civilization......

This kind of invisible suppression is the suppression of the entire civilization and itself, but in the game, enjoying the rapid progress of science and technology, how can it be possible to jump out?

Only by looking back and analyzing the entire history can we discover this shortcoming.

Naturally, over time, the Gliese people have an unreserved trust in extraterrestrial technology.

The powerful aristocrats bought the high-end goods directly produced by the universal factory, the common people bought the goods in the database, and only the beggars would buy the goods researched by their own people.

Some scientists once put forward the idea of satellites, but in the end they became a laughing stock!

Because there is no such technology in the universal factory, the result is considered a fantasy, and it is not forgotten if it is ridiculed by peers, and no one invests in it...... The scientist was so ashamed that he almost hanged himself.

"Under the influence of this ideology, it is even more difficult to give birth to an industry that belongs to its own civilization."

And the oligarchs, composed of a group of warlords, simply cannot have a detached vision and a broad mind to use the "universal factory" to drive the whole era. It is enough for them to hold on to their power and wealth.

But what can it be?

There is simply no way that anyone can overthrow such a form of government through violence......

The universal factory is advanced and has huge productivity, almost killing all possible changes!

……

With the passage of time, the output of the universal factory is still accumulating, and the times are still progressing. When social resources accumulate to a certain extent, basically every person can get rid of the life of the Stone Age and enjoy the conveniences thereof, but it is more or less, the problem of poverty or wealth......

An industrial system with universal factories as the core is gradually born on this planet.

Unlike the tech tree of a normal civilization, this industrial system is quite deformed. High-end industry, mid-end, and low-end are clearly distinguished, the high-end is always high-end, the low-end is always low-end, and the national innovation industry is only engaged in low-end manufacturing, just for the production of universal factories.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan sighed softly, he deeply knew that this kind of ideology was not conducive to the development of the entire civilization.

Because the former Xia Kingdom also had such a strange history, the people at that time blindly believed that all the industries in their country were garbage, and the moon in the outside world seemed to be a little more rounded. This strange concept, once formed, is really difficult to change.

The Gliese civilization is even worse, their hidden competitor is a second-level cosmic civilization! Capital is profit-seeking, without any capital, willing to challenge the universal factory. Even at the national level, there is no way to succeed.

Even...... This flattery still influences them to this day, so much so that the Gliese instinctively believe that all extraterrestrial civilizations are powerful, advanced, and ethical.

"That's why this civilization can make it easier to make peace treaties with humanity, even if the current humanity is not strong at all. Truth accounts for the light of the second interstellar civilization! Zhang Yuan faintly understood.

Get the conversation back to ......

In a situation where high-end industries are always controlled by universal factories, the vast majority of profits are inevitably grabbed by the oligarchs who own universal factories.

Under the corrosive influence of power politics, the gap between the rich and the poor, and money, the whole society began to slowly lean towards money worship and bureaucracy in order to tie up with those powerful.

There have been some people of insight who have called for resistance to this trend of thought, but these appeals seem so weak in the face of the whole era......

When talking about this, Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time and asked, "So...... What about Goertek? ”

"The political structure of Goertek is indeed different from that of other cities, but if this is the case all over the world, it will naturally be difficult to resist this trend of thought, but it is more or less a problem."

Zhang Yuan asked again: "In other words, you think that all the evils are brought about by the universal factory?" ”

"Nope."

Gan Yaduo shook his head: "Technology is not sinful...... It is the whole civilization itself that is at sin. If there were no universal factories, we would still be living in the primitive Stone Age, how could there be such a good life now. ”

"The whole society is still developing, and the competition between cities for technology is fierce. Even if there are problems of one kind or another, in the final analysis, it is not the evil of the omnipotent factory. ”

No, it's not right.

Zhang Yuan always felt that something was wrong: "So, the second interstellar civilization, will you expect this?" ”

"Trading is a win-win situation for both parties, and we are not being forced into each other. It's all our own choice...... Even if the other party expects it, so what? You can't blame the other party, right? ”

Zhang Yuan frowned, not knowing how to reply.

How so......

With the progress of science and technology, people's lives have developed from the Stone Age to the Electrification Age, the transportation has become more convenient, and new changes have taken place in clothing, food, housing and transportation.

It seems that the whole civilization has improved a lot.

But on the other hand, its development potential has been imperceptibly reduced a lot. It's like a child who has been injected with auxin and pulls out the seedlings to help them grow a lot taller, but they add osteoporosis, obesity and other diseases that are difficult to cure. Until these problems are solved, it can hardly be said to be a normal civilization.

If we look at human sensibility alone, it is indeed difficult to describe whether the history of the Gliese civilization has become "good" or "bad" for such a long period of time.

Measuring the "good" and "bad" of a civilization is an important part of the historiography of a new civilization. All kinds of chaotic and complex functions try to quantify people's ideology, happiness in life, scientific and technological strength, social organization ability, potential for future development, degree of corruption, etc., to arrive at a specific value.

Zhang Yuan has no way to consider the Gliese civilization for the time being, because these historical processes are still too vague, and if they are just described, they are completely inaccurate.
