Chapter 114: The Epic of Civilization

…… Four thousand years have passed since the emergence of writing in the Knicks civilization. The long night, because of the appearance of "electricity", finally showed the dawn of dawn.

But 4,000 years later, the worship of "magma" has become ingrained in many religious people, including large numbers of ordinary people and rulers.

The energy of electricity is still magma in the final analysis, so it does not cause cognitive confusion.

Magma is like the "fire" and "sun" of ancient human beings to the Knicks civilization, or even better, and wants to be a true faith.

Magma is something that the Knicks can get up close and personal with, and it is their source of life! At the level of chemistry at the time, it was impossible for anything to burn for so many years, and magma ...... But he did it!

Therefore, this kind of incomprehension makes the Knicks generally believe that there is a "first driving force", and the endless magma will be so hot.

This first impetus can only be attributed to the "gods" themselves.

It's a deep-seated culture, a ghost hidden in the mind, a mindset.

But the sage class, the scientist class, tries to attribute this energy to the atom itself, and even thinks that the atom can be divided! Energy can be obtained by splitting atoms!

This result...... It looks like a denial of the gods!

Yes, this kind of thinking is completely "blasphemous"!

When Tyran was alive, because of the great sage's prestige and his social skills, religious people were still restrained and did not dare to make small moves.

But after the death of Tilarn, no one was able to suppress him, and a famous scientist who studied "atoms can be divided" was thrown into the magma lake by crazy religious people!

Angry and repressive, this transcendent class from ancient times to the present has waged an unprecedented class war with religion, known as the "Technological Renaissance......

The development of history will always be so similar, even similarly creepy......

Shudder!

When Yu Yifeng heard this, he felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

But it's also normal to think about it.

With the development of science to the present, there will always be some geniuses who jump out to fight against obscurantism and establish a materialist philosophical system.

This may be an inevitable change in history!

At that time, a large number of scientists on the planet of Nix were persecuted and fled their country to the city of Tor in Vargaria...... The most enlightened and neutral city. It is the main excavation site of the ruins.

In the city of Thor, these sages raised their ambitions one by one. They are trying to find out the nature of magma energy, to find evidence that "gods" do not exist, and to deal a powerful blow to religion!

Of course, many religious people still believe that the idea that atoms can be divided is completely wrong. They are unimpressed by the ideas of scientists, and the class struggle has not risen to the extreme, and has not yet provoked a full-scale scuffle.

Until...... An epoch-making genius was born.

"Eutyton, the twenty-sixth Great Sage, proposed the special theory of relativity and the mass-energy equation e=mc^2, which brought a turning point to this war without gunpowder."

"It proves that the energy of magma does come from the atoms themselves!"

"God said, 'Let Euterton come!' And so everything became bright. This is the epitaph that later generations of Knicks added to Euterton. Of course, the religion of later generations is no longer the fanatical religion of the past.

"Euterton" is the absolute first echelon on a par with "Tyrran", a great feat that future generations will never be able to surpass.

This great sage is so awesome that it is equivalent to still in the age of steam, but he has stubbornly developed the special theory of relativity and nuclear energy!

It...... Forcibly denied the existence of "gods"!

As a result, Euterton's discovery made the church people really angry and even panicked. Their faith is beginning to crumble, which is absolutely not allowed, and they are starting to do it!

The first wars of religion, and wars of the world war level, began......

Needless to say, the process here is self-explanatory. Because of electricity, oxidants can already be manufactured in batches, so thermal weapons have also appeared in large quantities.

There were even large airships in the sky, which were the strongest weapons of war at that time.

This is a war between the sage class and the Church, a struggle between the two upper classes.

It's like the rulers of humanity fighting the church.

Like the struggle between "divine power" and "imperial power"!

As a gathering place for scientists, the city of Thor naturally became the center of this world war. Fanatical religious people try to erect the authority of the "gods" with the blood of the sages.

The war lasted for seven years, involving more than 70% of the country, until a mushroom cloud first appeared on the surface of the planet Knicks......

It's an atomic bomb!

The first appearance of this superweapon completely destroyed a large city, killed and injured 200,000 people, and made the most staunch religious people feel an unforgettable chill.

…… It also directly ended this world war.

The atomic bomb, the incomparable aesthetics of violence, and the brilliance of an instant, were the strongest means for the sage class to challenge the "gods". The mass-energy equation was also verified with the advent of the atomic bomb.

"From today onwards, we are going to be ...... A god of his own! At the end of the war, the great sage Yu Taidun said proudly.

In this war, the religious side was completely defeated...... It ends with the suicides of several popes.

This is the end of the war, and the most beautiful era of atomic energy has come!

The Knicks also benefited from the great discovery of the great sage "Euterton", and finally bid farewell to their dependence on magma and used ...... Nuclear power!

Nuclear power, once again, has dramatically broadened their available energy.

Moreover, they were ecstatic to discover that the reserves of uranium ore on the surface were too abundant for them to use...... 100,000 years!

"One hundred thousand years!"

"Yes, their surface uranium resources are so abundant, at the level of the time, they could last for 100,000 years! And that's not even counting the unproven. ”

100,000 years, a number that feels extremely long for everyone, the Knicks have ushered in the happiest era.

It has been more than three hours since this large-scale historical meeting was held, and everyone was almost exhausted from the discussion and contemplative contemplation. It's time for an intermission and lunch.

Yu Yifeng also sorted out his complicated feelings, the history of the Knicks in the first half was full of bloody violence, and the occasional light always flashed away. But overall, the ending is not bad.

The advent of nuclear energy, of course, is a qualitative change, which finally freed the Knicks from the dilemma of lack of energy and their dependence on magma.

History always moves forward in twists and turns.

There is no advance without twists and turns, not just for the Knicks, but also for humans...... The advance of mankind is always accompanied by war and killing.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and only after experiencing the ruins can we be reborn...... That's how cruel the whole world is.

"Let's go, let's go have lunch." Yu Yifeng subconsciously screamed and walked in front of him.

Yuriko was stunned for a moment, and she could only snort and follow behind.

Yu Yifeng was still thinking about other things in his heart.

After all, the Knicks are extinct, and the second half of the meeting will certainly not be very good, and you must be mentally prepared in advance......

The two of them passed a stage, and several robots were handing out materials for the second half of the meeting. Yu Yifeng subconsciously wanted to take it, but stopped halfway......

I saw the stiff and depressed faces of the group of scientists. He suddenly felt that it was better for him not to look for abuse in advance......

But Yu Yifeng still couldn't help it, glanced at the cover of the information curiously, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he thought of something bad......

"Let's go, let's go, let's come back after eating......"

In any case, lunch should be eaten well, and only when you have enough food can you have the strength to deal with the great problems ahead...... It is also an inexplicable happiness to know the truth of the Great Filter later.

Yu Yifeng held back his curiosity and pulled Yuriko away.

The two walked into the cafeteria one after the other, and now they are all in the form of a buffet, which can be taken as you go.

"French fries should be eaten sparingly...... If only we also had an organ called 'thermonuclear', which would save a lot of time for eating, and replenish energy while sleeping. Yu Yifeng couldn't help but say when he saw Yuriko take the fries from the plate one by one.

Yuriko replied angrily, and could only push back some of the fries on the plate.

But in her heart, she absolutely disagrees with changing the digestive organs to 'thermonuclear', otherwise wouldn't there be no such thing as "food"?
