Chapter 152: Captivity and Freedom (I)

One: "You've mentioned the word captivity twice. Xu Liang said, "What you want to say is ...... A weak civilization faces a strong civilization and can only live like a pig in humiliation? Are you trying to say this? ”

"Or to be more specific." Xu Liang said this, his voice was already a little angry, "The so-called weak civilization actually refers to human beings at all? ”

"Although neither the enemy undersea civilization nor we have broken through the limits of the mother planet, and the use of energy is within the first-order civilization, the undersea civilization is relatively much stronger than us! So, we should be kept in captivity, right? ”

"Are you trying to say that?"

Xu Liang felt a little depressed. No, rather depressing!

Although it will not be directly destroyed by a superweapon, this method of developing technology like raising pigs will not feel very good.

"I'll tell you." Xu Liang frowned and said sternly, "This kind of thing, my old Xu will definitely not agree!" I'm definitely fucking it! ”

The more Xu Liang spoke, the more angry he became: "No, I can't listen to it anymore...... Gotta fuck it! ”

Duanqing looked at Xu Liang with an innocent face: "I didn't say I wouldn't get them, what are you doing with me?" ”

Xu Liang: ?? Belch...... Belch......

Duanqing spread his hands: "Please, I'm also a human." ”

Xu Liang: ......

"Although we have serious differences ......and contradictions," Duan Qing said here, inadvertently glancing at Duan Han, who was still studying the big pincer, "But in the face of a super strong enemy like the undersea civilization, it must be P shares in the right position and unanimously to the outside world!" ”

"Rest assured, there's absolutely no problem with that. In fact, the problem of attitude cannot be considered a problem at all! Actually, the most important question is, how should we do it! ”

"With your improvisation? It's not like I haven't tried it just now, just a lone soldier ant made us so embarrassed. Besides, how do we know how much is left on the surface of the earth? Tens of billions or hundreds of billions? And it is even possible that termites are just a vassal race of underwater civilizations? How to fight? The role of individual forces in the confrontation between civilizations, especially in the early stages, is negligible or even negligible. ”

"Even if my sister greatly improves your individual combat ability in various ways, there is no way to fight against a civilization that is stronger than us."

Duan Qing describes the facts. When human civilization was still intact, it had already suffered heavy losses in the tsunami, and now, the overall population of mankind may have been reduced to an extremely terrifying number, and I don't even know how many survived, and it is even more difficult to fight against the underwater civilization that is already more powerful than us.

Xu Liang: "Of course I know what you said, and I also know what you want to say later...... That civilization arena, right? ”

"Before the tsunami, you had obtained all kinds of information through your channels, and now Duanhan has helped you crack a more important part, so you ...... Did you get any new news? Did you get any specific ways to get them? ”

"Yes!" Duan Qing replied, "That's what I want to say!" The more I know, the more confident I am now! ”

"Civilization Arena brings us more than just the Matrix Cluster Gun I told you about not long ago...... Wait a minute...... Well, let's continue with the question that we left off. Because that's how you can pick everything up – captivity. ”

"Before we can figure out how to fight them, we have to figure out how to 'keep them in captivity.'"

"Because the captivity we are talking about now is not ordinary captivity, but 'captivity' of a civilization!"

Duan Qing said this, changed his posture, and showed a good-looking side face.

She and the Duanhan sisters are both scientists, and they are both beautiful, but there is a big difference in style. The level of Duanhan is also very high, but he basically ignores people, he just likes to do research with his head bored; Relatively speaking, Duan Qing, as an elder sister and a former super subject leader, speaks a lot, and is relatively more organized.

"The specific way to keep a civilization in captivity......" Duan Qing said, "Well, this is really difficult to imagine, but we can understand it by analogy." ”

"There's an interesting question – what was the largest number of large mammals in the world before the tsunami? Guess what? ”

Xu Liang thought about it, and combined with the question of "captivity", he tried to answer: "...... Pig? ”

"Bingo! Answer is correct! Duan Qing said, "Actually, I can say it in more detail, it is a pig that was raised in captivity by humans for consumption!" ”

"Why ask this question? Because there is another mirror question of this question that can be looked at together, that is, what was the number of pigs before humans entered the agricultural age 7,000 years ago? Of course, I won't let you guess this, I'll just say the result - at that time, the number of pigs was not even one thousandth of what it is now! ”

"At that time, the pig was a rare species!"

"The reason is, you may know, the top three in the Northeast Forest, the predators at the top of the biological chain, are bears, wild boars, and tigers! Some of the old and mature wild boars are even more powerful than the tigers! ”

"Wild boars are extremely strong species, but they are also extremely rare species."

"Before humans dominated the earth, the number of wild boars was about the same as that of tigers that could not tolerate two tigers in one mountain, they were very small."

And as a contrast, you can see. At present, the population of pigs, whether they are meat pigs or wild boars, has become the largest in the world! ”

"Under human domestication, wild boars became domestic pigs and became an important source of food for humans." (The domestication and return of pigs is very easy, a village in central China once implemented the policy of "returning farmland to forest" for a period of time, and the village became a forest in more than ten years, and the pigs in the pigsty left human domestication and grew fangs in more than ten years!) In just a dozen years, the domestic pig has once again turned into a large wild boar with terrifying combat power, and until now, this village can also bring a shotgun and go into the mountains to hunt)

"The before and after comparison of this number raises an interesting question. What is the measure of the success of a civilized population? ”

"One of the obvious signs is the number of individuals."

"Take pigs as an example, after humans raised pigs in captivity, pigs went from a failed race (only a small number of individuals, although the individual is very strong) to a successful race (the largest number in the world)!"

"You see, this is the classic 'captivity' behavior in the human world."

"Isn't it exactly what we imagined?"

"Pigs, from a failed species, to a success!"

When Xu Liang heard this, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. I only heard Duan Qing continue:

"Let's look at another example of a captive plant – rice."

"There's an interesting fact you may not know, rice, before the agricultural revolution, was actually a weed."

Xu Liang: ???

Is rice a weed?

"Rice is not only a weed, but it is also the weakest of the weeds, which cannot be widely grown in nature at all, and is even on the verge of extinction. Rice must have enough water and enough dry land to live well, and the number of rice ears 7,000 years ago is also very small. ”

"Rice is almost a complete failure."

"But when we found out the practical value (food value) of this species, this species ...... Climb up the ladder! ”

"Before the tsunami, I don't need to tell you how much the rice population was, right?"

"Rice occupies more area than the area occupied by buildings in the whole country, isn't this an exaggeration? The red line of billions of acres of cultivated land cannot be moved, have you heard of this policy? ”

"Moreover, so many farmers across the country are feeding rice, watering and fertilizing the land, just to make the rice 'live' better! Putting plastic greenhouses and mechanized planting is to improve the 'quality of life' of rice! ”

"If you think about it, 7,000 years ago, rice, which was a weed, had to compete with the harsh environment around it, and if you were not careful, you would die, or even be wiped out!"

"But now, rice is eaten and drunk by human beings, and it is raised as the most beloved child! Can't be blown by the wind, can't be exposed to the sun, can't be rained, and even those farmers who farm the land are tanned, but the rice stays in the plastic greenhouse! ”

"Do you feel that the rice is too happy?"

"If you absorb the sun, you are happy, if you have a greenhouse to keep out the rain, if you have enough fertilizer, if you can be watered on time, if you have a machine to turn the ground and someone to take care of it, you are happy...... Then, rice must be the happiest species in the world! ”

"10,000 times happier than their wild predecessors, the rice that struggled to survive!"

"This is also an excellent example of 'captivity'!"

"Don't you think these two examples are an excellent interpretation of the word 'captivity'?"

"Whether it's a pig whose population has expanded a thousandfold or a rice whose population has expanded a millionfold, it has been successful!"

"They're all successful races!"

"Under the captivity of human beings, these races have emerged from the harsh living environment at the beginning, and have become the most numerous, food-and-clothing, and most successful races!"

"Now, then, we're back to the problems we humans are facingβ€”"

"Perhaps, a more advanced undersea civilization will bring us success and happiness in captivity, just as we keep pigs or rice in captivity?"
