Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 47 Sea Dragon Civilization
Lao Fang no longer paid attention to the war between floating islands on the sea, he was thinking about some problems.
Previously, he had already recognized that war comes from the law of balance, and if everything in heaven and earth is out of balance, it will lead to war, and in the entire Hengyu, war is everywhere.
Therefore, Lao Fang feels that in the whole world, the state of "absolute balance" does not exist, and everything is biased.
The quantification of matter constantly causes a dispute over space, such as size, length, distance, height and so on.
The change of matter in turn triggers the birth of time, the past, the present, the future, and so on.
All the time, everywhere wars are taking place, and the relative and absolute motion of things leads to all kinds of wars.
What the eye can see is the entry and shrinkage of all things, the coming and going of you, and what the eye cannot see is the contest between various force fields, the comparison of various periods...
No matter what way you attack and defend, it is a form of war, and it is a manifestation of imbalance.
Unless everything returns to Taixuan, before the two quanta collide, there is no absolute equilibrium at all.
Lao Fang pondered, and the two yin and yang fish of Taiyin and Taixuan swirled in his mind.
Perhaps, in order to achieve a true balance, more elements must be added, two opposites simply cannot achieve absolute balance, if other factors are added, it is possible...
Speaking of which, Lao Fang's level is still too low, and although his form has been free from things, his mind is still imprisoned in place. The questions he thinks about still do not get rid of the framework sorted out by the philosophers of ancient China.
Ancient Chinese philosophers used yin and yang to define the opposites in the law of balance, they first sorted out the opposition relationship between birth and death, dark and light, black and white, water and fire, etc., they tried to find a balance point, but it is obvious that no thing can achieve absolute balance, and the simple logic of either white or black cannot be applied to more advanced civilizations, so the five elements gossip came into being.
Speaking of which, the Five Elements are a kind of conceptuality, and the ancient philosophers also felt that unilateral opposition could not establish the nature of things, so they simply added a few more elements to form a most basic ring of mutual growth and mutual restraint.
The structure of this ring is quite close to the ecological ring of nature, and several elements in the ring are also complexly related, mutually reinforcing, mutually restrictive, or opposite.
At the same time, the relationship between these elements is not static, and they can subvert each other through quantitative changes.
The establishment of the five conceptual elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth has made the philosophy of the ancients achieve unity and perfection.
They forcibly assign these attributes to everything, and through the statistics of these attributes, they seek the balance of the whole link. As a result, the endless life and the endless world have become a balance map of the whole world.
With this basic ring of the five elements, all things in heaven and earth are unified into the framework of the Five Elements Theory, and for the concept of the law of balance, the Five Elements Scholarship can also make sense.
The Bagua is a strengthened version of Yin and Yang, it is developed on the basis of Yin and Yang, Tai Chi gives birth to two Yi, two Yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to Bagua, with two different symbols of Yin and Yang, according to the parallel combination of natural Yin and Yang changes, constituting eight groups of symbols: Qiankun Xun Zhenkan Ligendui.
The eight symbols represent the eight elements, which in turn are matched with each other to form sixty-four new groups of symbols.
This is incredible, these elements are woven together, and even space, time, life and death, luck, and so on can be explained, not to mention some things that can be seen with the naked eye.
Music, mathematics, philosophy, literature, theology, and even modern cosmology can find answers in the Bagua, the framework of which is not unsatisfactory.
The question that Lao Fang pondered and meditated on had already been answered at his level, however, his knowledge was obviously not as broad as he thought.
In terms of philosophical cognition, Lao Fang is still in a preliminary stage, and his ability to think about these questions shows that he has been working hard to improve his level.
Of course, neither Tai Chi Bagua nor the Five Elements of Yin and Yang are the end of metaphysics, although people today are still constantly filling them in and giving them new concepts, but in the end, after the advancement of civilization several times, future generations will feel naïve and ridiculous when they look at some of the explanations of all things today.
When the precision of the definition of the broad and narrow space of the entire civilization is raised to a height that is currently impossible for human beings to understand, many of today's definitions will undergo earth-shaking changes.
However, in terms of human cognition, these explanations are still feasible, because modern people's requirements for the accuracy of describing narrative objects are far from the level that these metaphysics cannot survey, so some serious scientific problems can also be stolen by these metaphysics through a certain concept, or forcibly new and fooled past.
When Lao Fang perfected some concepts in his own knowledge system, the world of the Jade Disc was running at a thousandfold speed, and the war between carnivores was still the theme of this era, and the Xuanhuang people and the Yalongs were the kings of carnivores.
When the focus of the old party returned to Xuanhuang Star, the war between the various sea regions had ended, and in the tens of millions of miles of sea areas, the figures of those sea giants had been much sparser, and the number of various sea tribes qualified to participate in the war had decreased dramatically, and many races had not controlled the scale well in this war and were directly extinct.
And those aquarists that reproduce very quickly, have small individuals, and live on plankton have been unprecedentedly strong, and they move together in formations of hundreds of millions of individuals, frantically cleaning up the excess plankton in the seawater, even fierce sharks, seeing such extremely dense and fast swimming fish, they dare not easily invade their territory.
Due to the abundance of organic matter in the seawater, the plants on the seabed have also ushered in a heyday, and all kinds of seaweed and seagrass have frantically expanded their territory, covering the seabed with forests one after another.
Lao Fang observed the various sea areas, the life of the marine creatures returned to a more comfortable era, all kinds of creatures felt worry-free, staring at the prey, and did not worry about other peers watching on the side, everyone hunted happily, and then worked hard to reproduce offspring.
Equilibrium, an ecological equilibrium, at the point of absolute equilibrium, there is a floating value, when the floating value is exceeded, the war is inevitably launched, a war is down, the whole region returns to the era of a hundred ruins, and then, there is a relative peace.
This is the most primitive law of balance.
This time, Lao Fang observed the life of the sea dragon people with great interest.
The sea dragons are divided into four branches, and their super high IQ allows them to dominate one side on their own, but their number is not large, and the number of people in each branch does not exceed 100,000.
The world under the sea is intricate, and the spatial positioning of their activities must also be based on the x, y axis, plus a z-axis, typical pure three-dimensional coordinates.
The sea dragon people have established their own villages in many places, of course, these villages, in the eyes of the old party, are more like a secret cave, the old party's sight is inseparable from those secret caves, a sea mussel larger than the grinding plate, there are pearls the size of eggs, so that the old party is melancholy, if there is such a treasure back then, then the days can also be worry-free.
The old man sighed slightly, his eyes stayed on the huge blood corals again, he knew that this thing was also very valuable, but now, all the gold and silver treasures were thrown in front of him, and he couldn't take any of them.
This may also be a kind of sadness for observers.
However, Comrade Lao Fang is still very calm, this person has seen the collision of capable sons, seen the operation of the multiverse in the long river of time, and seen the thinking body of many demon gods and Dao ancestors, and his vision has long been beyond the worldly realm.
As an observer, it is necessary for him to know the current state of power of each species on the Xuanhuang Star, and speculate whether they will affect the entire pattern of the Xuanhuang Star.
In the eyes of the old side, the sea dragon people are definitely qualified to influence the future pattern of the species, they have a super high IQ, but also formed a not weak force, the old side estimates, in the next hundreds of thousands of years, the sea dragon people may have greater breakthroughs and development.
Most of the sea dragons live in very secluded places, some live in underwater forests, some live in a certain strait, their eyes are not degraded, on the contrary, they are much more sensitive to light than ordinary sea creatures.
They have collected many objects that emit light on their own, and these light sources are mostly soft and colorful, enveloping their territory in a dreamlike atmosphere.
Due to the material abundance, the life of the sea dragon people is very leisurely, so the communication between individuals has become a more pastime for the sea dragon people.
After a period of observation, Lao Fang found that the civilization level of the Sea Dragon people may be higher than that of the Xuanhuang Civilization and the Yalong Civilization on land, because the Sea Dragon people have their own writing symbols.
These text symbols are relatively simple, but in the eyes of the old party, they become illegible, they are like the traces of sandworms crawling, almost all of them are a line from top to bottom, and then in the middle, there are a few more bends of unknown meaning.
The number of individuals using these symbols does not exceed three hundred, of course, this number will definitely increase over time, and the old party also feels that this civilization will usher in a period of rapid development because of the emergence of written symbols.
Lao Fang was a little excited, and he immediately speculated that in the near future, the undersea civilization may far surpass the civilization on land, and between the two civilizations, there must be a fierce collision on the road to the hegemony of the Xuanhuang people.
Who is better than the undersea civilization represented by the Sea Dragon people and the land civilization represented by the Yalong people or the Xuanhuang people?
The old side will wait and see.
