Chapter 25: The Norshan Civilization

In the following days, the two sides also had a long exchange, mainly to deepen the understanding between the two sides.

Even the history of development has not found any fault, and the entire Norshan civilization is still only slowly developed from the most ordinary primitive people. During this period, there have also been a long period of wars and wars that have affected the whole world, and there have also been countries that have flourished for a while, and even the whole world has not been unified more than 200 years ago.

"The unification of the entire civilization is also thanks to the credit of the chip." After briefly introducing the history of the Norzans to Zhou Xin, Fergeland added with emotion, "With more and more people installing chips in their brains, the distance between people has been significantly shortened, and at the same time, we have deepened our mutual understanding. As a result, more and more people have abandoned the boundaries of the country and taken the initiative to unite together. With the spread of chips, the number of people participating in the alliance has increased, so that the control of governments has become weaker and weaker, and finally it has been almost ignored by most people, including government officials. Subsequently, a transnational government was established and began to replace the functions of national governments to carry out the administration, and about 150 years ago, our entire civilization was unified. ”

Although the unification process of the entire civilization was a bit surprising, it was still reasonable, so Zhou Xin and the others did not feel very strange. To their surprise was the subsequent development of the Norshan civilization, which, according to Fergelan's later description, seemed to have stagnated after the unification of the entire civilization, except for the construction of economic life. For nearly a hundred years, their scientific and technological level has basically maintained the same level as it was more than a hundred years ago, and they have not made any progress.

After the conversation with Fergeland ended, Zhou Xin and the others also discussed this, and finally came to a conclusion: it was precisely because of the unity of the entire civilization that the scientific and technological development of the Norshan civilization was hindered. Without the competition between the various nations, meeting the needs of the people became the primary objective of the coalition government, so that, as Fergeland said, the economic life of the Norzans developed greatly. But also because of the loss of competition, coupled with the absence of the concept of space, their scientific and technological development has lost its goal, so it has led to its stagnation.

"If only the Norzans could know about the existence of space." At the end of the discussion, Zhou Xin said, "Relying on the ability of the chip in their brains, it is even very likely that they will develop interstellar abilities in the past hundred years, but they can only be trapped on this planet now." At this, he sighed, "It's a pity. ”

"Do you think it's necessary for us to help them break their perception of the sky? Let the Norzans know that there is more than one wall in the sky? Dart asked.

"I did want to do it at first. But after a few days of talking to Ferguland, I think it's hard to change this perception of the Norshans. Zhou Xin replied helplessly, "I really don't know who came up with this idea in the first place, but now the concept of only one wall in the sky has been deeply embedded in their common sense, and no one can change it." It's already a bit like an obsession, and as long as someone comes up with a different idea, they will be besieged by others. Once we have this kind of thought, the more difficult it is for us to change the perception of a civilization with a higher level of technology, because no matter what kind of evidence we give, they will always be able to find various reasons to prove that it is fiction. ”

"Also, it's easy to change the minds of a few people, but if you want to change the minds of a group of people." Spred also shook his head, "Even if we can fly into space with some people, it will be difficult to change the minds of most people, we have not never had such a situation where a few people have grasped the truth, and those who are taken into space by us will definitely become heretics in the Norshan civilization when they return." ”

Speaking of this, everyone shook their heads helplessly, and Zhou Xin sighed even more: "Why are they unwilling to explore the sky?" Even Fergland took it for granted that they didn't know anything about the sky, and in comparison, their attitude towards underground exploration seemed very normal, although they didn't understand, but they had a desire to learn about the underground, and I was the normal reaction of a civilization. ”

"That's why I've said before that the Norsan civilization's perception of space seems to have been deliberately shielded." Spred answered.

"It seems that things are back to the beginning." Zhou Xin shook his head, "If we don't figure out what this is all about, then we don't have to think about changing their minds." ”

The discussion could not continue at this point, so Zhou Xin simply turned his attention to the maintenance of the Voyager. The main engine of the Voyager had just reported to him not long ago that the resources in the spacecraft were not enough to repair the entire spaceship, so Zhou Xin had to plan the maintenance progress of the entire spacecraft.

At the same time, in order to dispel the Norzans' wariness in the past few days, Zhou Xin also invited Fergland to pay a visit to the Voyager.

During the visit, Zhou Xin led the group led by Fergeland to visit many places in the Voyager. Fergeland and his party expressed their amazement at the huge Voyager, but also regretted that the ship had suffered so much damage. Of course, this was not the most surprising to them, and to their shock, they saw different kinds of humanoids on the ship.

"I can't see it clearly in the video, I really didn't expect that there are different types of underground people." When he actually saw Spred and Dart, a man named Koxy next to Fergeland called out out.

Glaring at Koxy, Fergland said, "It's rude, Koxy is the leader of those researchers, and he has nothing in his eyes but scientific research." ”

"Understandably, we have such researchers here." That Kexi Zhouxin had met a few times before, and the two of them had even discussed the wall in the sky. Unfortunately, even a person as knowledgeable as Koxy has the same attitude towards the sky as any other normal person. During the conversation, Zhou Xin even tried to arouse his interest in the sky several times, but never succeeded.

"Can you tell me why there are so many types of Underground People?" Koxy didn't pay attention to Fergulan's face, but continued to rush to ask......
