Chapter 30 The Trend of Naïve Thought
"I see!"
Just when everyone was confused, Dr. Rimbaud, who was sitting on the side, suddenly shouted, "I have a guess, you can listen to it!" ”
"I wonder if this low-level civilization accidentally leaked a large-scale leak when it was mining combustible ice on the seabed!"
“…… Or because of earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions, etc., which led to large-scale eruptions of combustible ice on the seabed......"
"That's pretty much it anyway, bringing a lot of methane into the air! The methane we have detected in the atmosphere, as well as the strong greenhouse effect of the planet, also confirms this! ”
Yu Yifeng couldn't help but nodded, which was somewhat similar to his conjecture.
"You know, in terms of the number of molecules, methane is 25 times more greenhouse than carbon dioxide! The carbon dioxide and methane of this planet are much richer than those of the earth. ”
Dr. Rimbaud felt that he had found the truth, his mind became more and more active, and he spoke faster and faster, "So, these greenhouse gases are causing the melting of two types of glaciers and the rise of sea levels!" Of course, the planet has a lot of water, and its deepest trench is almost 20,000 meters...... Originally, it had a lot more water than the earth. ”
"But what does rising sea levels have to do with war?" Someone questioned.
Dr. Rimbaud paused: "Of course it does!" The greenhouse effect is not something that can be formed in a day or two, but in years! ”
"In the beginning, the rise in sea level was not significant, and it only inundated the surrounding cities, which were the first cities we discovered...... Therefore, these intelligent beings can evacuate in an orderly manner, and there is enough country and enough territory to take in these refugees. ”
"But as the greenhouse effect grows, the ocean is gradually flooding large swaths of land! That's when a series of problems arise. ”
"What if, half of the world's land mass was submerged? And even 60%, 70% submerged? The remaining land could not support a large population, and no country continued to be willing to take in refugees, so ...... Belch...... And so the war broke out! ”
He ended up making a "bang" gesture.
After saying this, many people nodded.
There is some truth in Rimbaud's words, and many of you here are of the older generation and have lived through the Earth period.
If the sea level rises dramatically and floods many countries, it is possible that one is not handled properly and triggers a war on a world scale.
But a few of the new generation are confused, and one by one is a little confused.
In their eyes, this statement seems a bit problematic.
If you want to immigrate...... The planet is so big, it can always be squeezed. A group of people living on the same planet, and when a problem arises, they don't concentrate on finding a way to solve it, and there is an internal war?
In their opinion, the slaughter of the same kind is simply incomprehensible.
They froze for several seconds before they came back to their senses and nodded thoughtfully.
Yu Yifeng looked at this group of confused young people, and smiled bitterly in his heart, haven't you studied human history and the history of Knicks civilization?
How is it still ......
Actually, I don't blame them. The culture in the Noah is quite simple, the interaction between people is quite friendly, and many positions have a clear division of labor...... Conflicts of interest are almost non-existent.
Therefore, the thinking of the new generation of young people is naturally simple, just like children who have not grown up......
"Yes, if you really want to describe it, it's like a scholar in an ivory tower, generally a polite scholar......"
Thinking like this, Yu Yifeng had a feeling of sudden realization.
He finally knew why he always felt that there was something wrong with the soldiers under him......
It turned out to be the reason for this!
Science and technology workers can say that they are very suitable for the current atmosphere, but the current group of soldiers is also inexplicably hiding in the "ivory tower", which is a bit of a problem.
These soldiers are too innocent and too lacking in murderous spirit!
He finally knew why the Green Light People, as an interstellar civilization, were so stupid and easy to deceive? How many times have you been deceived by a human disguise plan?
Why?
Because the civilization is too harmonious, there is no exercise in this area at all...... The members of society are straightforward in their thinking, and there are simply not so many fancy hearts.
With the advent of the interstellar age, society entered a state of great affluence. At this time, people do not need to consider the aspect of "survival", there is no opposition to interests, there is no contradiction, and there is no deceit......
At this time, the competition between people is only in the academic aspect, and there is no need for intrigue at all......
With the development of society to the present level, the previous theory of struggle has lost its effect, and people will always become more and more simple.
The reduction of the struggle within the civilization, and the absence of the internal struggle for a long time, has led to a natural decline in some of the abilities of the individual civilization.
That is...... The collective becomes pure.
It's almost a given!
Therefore, the people of the next few generations are like college students who have not entered the society...... They always have expectations for the world. In the eyes of the earthlings in the past, these new generations are very straightforward, and even have a little fairy tale innocence.
If it were placed in the previous global society, it might not mix well, and there was even a possibility of starvation......
But in this new society, this kind of naivety is common, and there is nothing too much of a problem. People are becoming more and more team-based and tend to help each other.
Truly...... The new generation of human beings has not seen too much evil, nor has they seen too much chaos, and they always think of other lives in a similar way to themselves.
They believe that the world is beautiful and that problems should always be solved, rather than relying on slaughter and the like.
How so...... This kind of thinking......
Yu Yifeng shook his head.
"Could it be that this is the difference between K-class civilization and L-class civilization? K-class civilization, chaotic and evil; L-level civilization, order and friendliness, in fact, it is easier to manage an L-class civilization. But if the individual is placed in a complex environment, it may be that people in K-class civilization are more cunning and cunning, and it is easier for them to survive......"
"But in terms of groups, K-level civilizations are turned into scum by L-level civilizations in seconds."
"That's what it is...... The prisoner's dilemma, ah......"[1]
This naïve trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that there is unity within the civilization, there is no infighting, and the climbing technology is very fast! If you encounter any big project, it will be completed quickly, there is no bloody incident such as internal ruffle, even if everyone cuts back on food and clothing, it is not a big deal.
The downside is ...... In the face of the intricate interstellar environment, this naïve civilization may be a little unadaptable.
Yu Yifeng didn't believe that the entire universe was so naïve......
Those ancient, long-established interstellar civilizations are certainly more tricky and cunning than the civilizations that have just stepped into the interstellar world......
If these first-generation old people die, the new human civilization may also become a powerful and naïve civilization like the green light civilization......
Well, there is a good chance that it is.
Unless...... This civilization has once again undergone the baptism of war and death before it can mature quickly!
"So, the Green Light people might grow up and become more awesome? They seem to be at war, right? ”
“…… Is the reason for the emergence of the Destroyer civilization more complex than imagined? In some ways is a good thing? ”
Yu Yifeng smiled self-deprecatingly, and then became deeply worried, he felt that this question was quite tricky.
"Is this the entropy increase of civilization? There will always be natural troubles...... No social system is perfect. ”
Thinking like this, someone stood up and questioned: "However, even if there is a nuclear war, everyone will not die!" Moreover, there is no nuclear winter here, and a nuclear war is not serious......"
"No, no, no, I think there's something wrong with the nuclear winter narrative."
Another expert who is proficient in computing and analysis shook his head and said: "This warm and humid planet is hotter than the earth, there is not much land, the air is humid, and the precipitation is extremely abundant. Even if a large-scale nuclear war breaks out, it should return to normal within a year. ”
"And the previous nuclear winter argument is itself a hypothesis, and there is no conclusive argument...... There are many models that argue that nuclear war does not lead to a nuclear winter. Even if there is a large-scale nuclear war on Earth, the temperature will recover within a few years. ”
"So a large-scale nuclear war cannot be ruled out...... However, I also believe that war will certainly not kill everyone, as long as you keep searching, you will always find survivors. We don't need to rush, if Dr. Rimbaud is right, we'll find a survivor! ”
Seeing so many people supporting him, Dr. Rimbaud continued to stand up.
"Now it seems that nuclear war is an inevitable event, and it is not small," he said...... I thought of another possibility......"
"First: after the crisis of this civilization, half of the war was fought, and suddenly it woke up, and then it stopped fighting. They developed together, became a rare interstellar civilization, and flew away on a large ship......" He himself laughed when he said this conjecture, because the odds were so slim.
"Second, they were exterminated by another powerful interstellar civilization! A nuclear bomb is just a desperate revolt. ”
"And thirdly, these natives have built certain shelters on the seabed, underground, or inland...... They're hiding inside! ”
