Chapter 1 Civilization Tribulation, the Great Black Cauldron
"I know what the hell is the Tribulation?" Gao Chen looked at a piece of news and picked out a few words from it, which were a little confused.
"The Tribulation of Civilization can also be regarded as the Tribulation of Science and Technology, which refers to the calamity encountered by civilization, which is equivalent to the tribulation that cultivators need to face. It's just for ethnic groups and one for individuals. Ling explained for Gao Chen.
"You'll wait!" Gao Chen stretched out his hand to refuse, "Why do I feel a little disobedient?" ”
"It's just that no one has ever come up with this concept, and it's in the same vein as the Heavenly Tribulation of Cultivation, which makes you a little uncomfortable. You can just change your mindset. Ling still said: "Many things are connected, since the detachment and strength of the individual need to face the trials and tribulations of the heavens, the earth and the universe, then why not face the detachment and strength of the group?"
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Anything that goes beyond the norm is bound to endure and face more.
It is difficult to cultivate the road in the capital, but the birth of civilization also needs many obstacles. In the words of a cultivator, a bad one will also be "dead and dead". Take the real civilization as an example, although it is extremely weak in the universe, how many disasters has it suffered along the way? As long as one is bad and unlucky, it may change its appearance or simply disappear.
Therefore, if the cultivator is the lucky one in ten thousand, then a certain civilization can also be said to be the [darling] of a certain piece of heaven and earth. Since the early days, many opponents have been eliminated. ”
"If you say that, it seems that the two forces of cultivation and technology do have a lot in common." Gao Chen shook his head and thought about it according to the thoughts provided by the spirit.
Cultivation is immortality, but technology can also do that. It is a fact that the environment is worse now, but the average life expectancy of people has increased compared to ancient times. And there are a lot of technologies that have a way to increase people's lives, but they just need to face the level breakthrough. This kind of level faced by science and technology, in other words, can also be said to be the level that cultivators face when cultivating the exercises.
Even if it is the immortal attribute of cultivation, if the technology level is high, you can also make yourself have this kind of attribute through transformation. As for the esoteric topic that does not belong to human beings after transformation, Gao Chen is too lazy to think about it. Because in a sense, once a cultivator breaks through a certain realm, it can be said that he is no longer human.
The fact is that the so-called food and drink of human beings is the belief that a monk can live without food, free from the worries and tribulations caused by food, just because the monk has completely changed his constitution and changed to another recipe.
Too many cultivators are said to have an impact on the aura of heaven and earth, and no one can be sure of this. But the development and expansion of civilization will have a huge impact on the surrounding environment, that is for sure.
What the cultivator pursues is the avenue of heaven and earth, the rules and laws;
Scientific and technological analysis pursues the truth of the universe.
Breakthrough in the path of cultivation requires traveling through the heavens and worlds, and needs opportunities.
At a certain point in technology, it is also necessary to constantly expand its own activity territory. In order to find more resources that have not been seen before to help their own technology go to the next level.
The monk wants to ascend.
Technology wants to go beyond dimensionality.
It's just that it's the detachment that the individual pursues.
One is the detachment of group pursuits.
Gao Chen felt for a while, it's good not to think about it, but to think about it, hey, I'll go, I can find so many things in common.
"So, does technology exist? It's just why hasn't anyone thought about it? "Gao Chen is a little puzzled, cultivators all know about the Heavenly Tribulation, how can civilization not know that there will be a Civilization Tribulation?
"You're thinking a little complicated, or you're thinking a little wrong. Natural disasters and man-made disasters can be said to be the embodiment of calamity. This calamity has little effect on individual ascetics, but it has a great impact on relatively weak groups. But for these kinds of phenomena, technology prefers to explain these catastrophes in science or whatever. Even if it can't be explained by science, it will be thought that with the advancement of science and technology, it will be explained one day. This understanding cannot be wrong.
But historically, even the disasters that have been summarized will be staged again and again. The change of dynasties, the invasion of disasters, the change of climate, and the civilization catastrophe will not appear at every turn to hack you, but once it is targeted, it must be a group! To put it simply, most of the cultivators' heavenly tribulations can only hurt him alone, but the civilization tribulation is never aimed at individuals, but it will inevitably affect most groups! And there are so many ways that even people don't associate with it.
At the end of history, some of the emperors and magnates who were stupid enough to go home were as stupid as lard, and they were no different from the myths and legends of the kings who were disliked by Nuwa and several saints and deceived and harmed. Like the demons of the heart, he silently inflicts his own sin, bringing destruction to himself.
Civilizations themselves will seek promotion just like the cultivators, and unless they are damaged by some unstoppable calamity, they will always make progress over time. And higher civilizations may not be ignorant of the concept of civilization calamity. The Spirit replied.
"If there is a hierarchy, what kind of civilization should the real civilization belong to? Cultivators who have survived the Heavenly Tribulation will be promoted in their cultivation and even in their realm, but what about civilization? Civilization has survived the so-called technological catastrophe, and it should also be beneficial, right? Gao Chen said thoughtfully.
"If you divide it by the level of cultivation, you should have just crossed the foundation building and touched a little out-of-body realm. And catastrophes and bottlenecks, since the real civilization since the world war, hasn't science and technology been skyrocketing? In one or two hundred years, the progress is far greater than that of the previous thousands of years! Isn't this in line with the saying that [realm breakthrough, cultivation is a big rise]?
You know, the promotion of civilization takes time to digest. It is similar to the realm breakthrough of monasticism, but it is different. ”
Gao Chen nodded.
Building a foundation is easy to understand, it is nothing more than figuring out the way forward, and then laying a solid foundation! Out of body means having some technology to leave this planet. Figuratively, the planet is the body, and the civilization is the spirit and soul, if the spirit can be probed out of the body within a certain range of activities, and the qi [resources] are fed back to itself, it can be said that you have stepped into the body.
Gao Chen felt that he understood very vividly.
As they progress, cultivators and civilizations become weaker and stronger, and become more and more difficult to kill and destroy. The great threats that once had to be faced with caution will also disappear.
"In fact, with the advancement of technology, what people have ever thought about, whether it is objects or other civilizations, you will face one day. The consciousness of the universe will always allow civilizations to meet unexpectedly, and they may be promoted, or they may disappear. Ling said softly.
"That is, no matter what, what is said in this news will always appear, right?" Gao Chen rubbed his face.
"Yes." The Spirit answered in the affirmative.
"Then you say, is this an accident, or is it the so-called civilization calamity that I sent when I was about to break through the bottleneck after I helped the reality technology upgrade?" Gao Chen felt so helpless, he originally felt that it had nothing to do with him, purely a country that wanted to make big news, but when Ling said this, he felt that he was inexplicably carrying a big black cauldron, this is not scientific!
I think about them wholeheartedly, how can I be so pitiful?
Although after reading some information, Gao Chen already knew that this pot was almost really going to be detained on himself. At least half of it will be deducted. If it weren't for the effect of strange things, this catastrophe would have taken a long, long time before human technology could have been triggered by upgrading to a higher level.
MMP, the world is really full of pits.
But Gao Chen still doesn't admit it, this time it's his own pit!
