Chapter 3: The Gray Planet, the Deadly Light (Part 2)
PS: This chapter was supposed to be (below), but after thinking about it, I took the opportunity to sort out the things in the Paradise District, and I changed it to think that if I finished writing the part of Deadly Light, it would take more than 2,000 words, and today I can't finish it, so it became (Middle 2).
==Body==
"That's all there is left of the 'warriors'?"
Facing dozens of ancient LCD screens that had sorted out the information, Lieyang sighed in his heart, the "warrior" has not yet come out of the strange circle.
"I'm neutral on this matter, and you can access the history if you have any questions."
Lieyang nodded, got up and switched to the monitoring station on the other side, blew the dust off the countertop, and sat down to quickly browse through the past videos.
Both the Paradise and the Warriors of the Paradise are very strange beings to the now dilapidated Earth.
Let's talk about the paradise area first, the 20,000 square kilometers of ecological circle, which still needs a small amount of maintenance. Due to the good self-adaptation of the ecosphere, the existing maintenance is mainly to manage the upstream water sources to ensure that the water quality of the nourishing biosphere meets the standards.
The Paradise Zone is divided into four parts, and the side where the sun comes in is the wood/hunting area; The north side is grassland/pastoral area; There is a small lake in the east, the terrain around the small lake is flat, and there are a few streams forming a water network, which is a good place for both living and farming; On the west side is a composite mine, which contains high-quality iron ore, copper ore and coal ore in 2,000 square kilometers.
It can be said that the paradise area of only 20,000 square kilometers contains almost all the kinds of natural resources that human beings need from the monkey to the feudal era, and even if there are none, the regulators will decide whether to use them according to the situation. In short, the Paradise District is designed to meet the needs of 100,000 people living a carefree life in a non-polluting industrial system.
Legend has it that there were only a few thousand human beings left in the Great Ice Age, which is about the same number as the number of "warriors", and hundreds of thousands of years later, they will become tens of billions of people who completely rule the earth. It's a pity that even with the environmental support of the Paradise District, their numbers have been decreasing rapidly, and in the end, they really have to face the situation of two people breeding the entire race.
It will develop like this, and the results obtained by looking at the records with the scorching sun are all because there is too much knowledge!
The first generation of warriors all experienced the NPC rules of the second world, but at that time, the second world was at the beginning of the first era of the flood and desolation of beings (the fifth age of the Galactic Era), and all the people at that time had seen what the situation outside the second world was, that is, their knowledge was in line with the real era, and not synchronized with the second world like today's earthlings.
After the reconstruction of the Paradise District after the strife, nearly 4,000 people were the first to leave the Second World to settle in, and there were many more contemporaries in the past ten years, but they could not make the population of the Paradise District exceed 10,000.
Because they are all dead.
Although it was free-range, in order to take care of their cognitive situation, there was a modern community on the lakeside of the eastern part of the paradise area at that time. The community directly includes a nursery, a primary school, a hospital, robot teachers, doctors are also ready-made, and supporting facilities and wind power stations on the hills around the lake can meet the uninterrupted lighting needs of the whole community throughout the day.
However, the first warriors were hard to serve.
No entertainment, TV!
People are in the second world, where does the TV station come from? At that time, the Second World was the First Age, and it was full of demons and monsters, and the entertainment industry of the second half of the Third Age had not yet developed. Is it a TV show of New Eden, Mars? Telling the Warriors that a new ark is being built only excites them even more.
In the end, it was the management on Mars who came up with the bad idea to adjust the era and give them a rolling TV show of the "post-electronic era" decades, when various programs were saying that the earth's environment was coming to an end, which was very much in line with the environment outside the paradise area at that time.
The digital information was preserved intact, and it took a few relay towers to get permission to sort out the production line through the messy process of the Mars Environment Agency, and to get a batch of LCD TVs.
Housing and entertainment are available, you have to grow your own land, and you have to hunt by yourself, otherwise will you have to provide food and clothing in an all-round way?
They weren't stupid, there was no food industry chain on the planet at that time, and the regulators temporarily provided synthetic food, not doing it themselves, and when the regulators came up with enough diversity to sustain thousands of people, they would have starved to death several times.
For a few years, it was quite good, but as the residents of the Paradise District subsequently joined the Paradise District, more and more people seemed to have officially separated from the "nutrition tank" group represented by the Second World. But with the first homicide comes along, everything changes.
No one realizes how dangerous it can be to have enough knowledge and insight without the appropriate management structure and rules. Soon some people found out that it was much easier to kill people and seize grain reserves than to farm or dry fish by themselves! And their knowledge ensures that most of these modus operandi are simply not in the hands of non-specialists.
When most of the people were surrounded by fear around the clock, someone finally remembered what the Overseer was up to, and quickly gathered a small team to go back to the dormant area to ask the Overseer for help.
That little team didn't go back alone! But retrieving the surveillance of the whole area at that time, it was actually an injured person who returned to the forest area, but collapsed before he could go back. Unfortunately, because there is no surveillance equipment outside of the Paradise Zone, it is impossible to confirm whether it is the murderer or the survivor of the lucky killing. Anyway, because the team didn't go back, the atmosphere of the human community in the Paradise District has changed completely.
Gangs appear in large numbers for the sake of security, and the appearance of gangs only exacerbates the unease of others, and soon the community degenerates from an egalitarian society back to a world of the jungle, and the regulator Xue does not even have time to participate in the whole process.
Speaking of Xue didn't have time to participate, it is necessary to mention the mechanism of the general control base, the base in the Paradise Zone will automatically collect monitoring data outside the room, but because the "warriors" declared that they want to release from supervision and restore privacy during negotiations, the data of the general control base will not be transmitted to the dormant area, it is an independent unit, and the monitoring only exists as a tool to record human processes. In addition to monitoring, another task of the master control base is to use the soilless cultivation room to stock shelf-stable grains such as rice and wheat to cope with non-control conditions.
Without comprehensive electronic facilities, and without a connection to the Dormant City, the vast god-like regulators in the Dormant City are just ordinary robots, and it is not bad to remotely control a robot in three or five months to confirm the general control equipment, food hoarding, and mildew disposal.
When the regulator learned about the deterioration of the security situation, several security robots were deployed into the community for the overall safety of the community. At that time, some residents repented and wanted to return to the Second World, but according to the agreement signed before, and the environmental pollution of the human body would threaten the safety of other sleepers with weak immunity, it was dismissed. But at that time, it was still more about human rights, and after many communications, the regulator promised a batch of resources, and the moon recovered these people, and the whereabouts after that could not be found by the snow.
Transferred a batch,Obviously, the rest are more enjoying the situation of the jungle,The results soon came out,The robot didn't play any role in the overall situation,The next time I came again, several robots were dismantled,Only the cleaner robot was leftγ
Seeing that the Paradise District project was about to become an end to its death, someone finally made up his mind to take some people out of the shackles of the modern community and go outside to seek a more primitive life. Someone took the lead and someone followed, and more and more people left the community and scattered all over Paradise.
If the guys who live apart can get along...... I don't know if it will be better, anyway, the situation in the paradise area has not improved with the dispersion of the crowd.
Their knowledge is still too much, or these modern people can't accept a completely primitive life, they have a stronger demand for product exchange than the ancients, and too frequent contact has led to an increase in the absolute number of conflicts, and their knowledge makes them very aware of the importance of population size, so it gave birth to the following things.
To the west there are mines and salt wells, and even the old smelting houses and teaching paintings carved on the walls are ready-made, and the rough quality can make metal tools, but the environment there is a little poorer, and it is difficult to maintain the number of people with only small animals and very little fruit, and the number of people determines the production of tools and salt; There were sheep on the north side, and they were put together and became domestic; There were furs, jerky, and even working paper on the south side. Although there were occasional clashes between the greedy, the overall number did not decline at least, and they quickly adapted to life in the remote areas that were close to feudalism at that time.
The community has their own fish and fields, and the tools can be requested by the regulators during their inspections, and one after another some newcomers who have already understood the new situation have come, and the number of people in all directions is the largest, and gradually when the others are regarded as savages, they are united and looted by stronger savages!
Population, food, everything that could be taken away was not left.
At this point, the channel to join the Paradise District from the Second World was officially closed, and the Paradise District also entered the era of "offline", neither providing any material assistance to the Paradise District, but only maintaining the water quality flowing into the Paradise District.
The people in the east are gone, but there are fish, fields, and houses that are not very long, and even if there is no running water and electricity supply, it can be called a treasure land for residents in other directions, and all groups will be wiped out.
When the children of the inhabitants of the four directions grew up, it was natural that a significant tribal culture developed and continues to this day.
As for the population at this stage, it is the ambition and some small knowledge that has been passed down, they do not have no concept of the Paradise District as a whole like the real ancients, but they know very well that when the resources of the Paradise Region are unified, a truly developable civilization can be built, so from time to time there are people who want to dominate the Quartet.
Thousands of people were scattered in an area with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in real ancient times, and they might not be able to fight if they wanted to, but their positioning ability was obviously higher than the level of production technology.
On the other hand, they don't know if there are some hidden misunderstandings in their inheritance, few families will raise many children, plus various dangers and some natural reductions in life transactions, population growth is slower than ancient records, plus the base is not large, and other factors, the result is a little less than once.
Xue said before that the situation was a bit bad, because the fight broke out again during the time when the sun didn't come to see, and the latest statistics came out, adding up to less than 2,000 people. Of these, according to the classification of civilized society, 700 are minors, and of course have been passed down in the wild for many generations, and according to their current customs, only less than 500 can be considered minors.
In short, the number of several major tribes is less than three hundred, and the rest live the life of real savages in groups of one or twenty people, which is the current situation in the Paradise District.
This time offline, because I knew some things in advance, the main itinerary was here, and it took a day to comprehensively supplement the information that was disconnected before, and Lieyang was not too worried. Although the Paradise Area has been developing backwards, most of it is still due to the asymmetry of knowledge structure and environment, and in a few years, when they really accept their identity as locals, they will naturally return to the right track of human development. At that time, even if the four major tribes were all extinct, there were still many small groups with family structures, and it would be better to experience a matriarchal society again, a few hundred people, it would be easier than two people to create a group.
"Don't you want to leave them some messages or physical objects?" On the way back, the spherical supervision robot asks in the voice of snow.
Lieyang shook his head and raised his free left hand: "I've thought about it, but I still can't, you see that I have to wear this kind of costume when I go out, are we really still the same species?" β
"Excuses."
β¦β¦ Her structure makes her react completely different from that of a human, and dismantling him is almost instantaneous.
She's right, because the original multi-ethnic differences of human beings are no smaller than those of the dormant and the Paradise Warriors, and they can't even change their average height much in hundreds of years of evolution.
"Well, I don't have enough time to think of anything that can help them develop and be understood by them now."
Electricity may be an important transit for human beings from the ground to space, but the social division of labor that requires electricity is very detailed, and even if the "warriors" find a way to generate electricity, they may be able to build a stove that can last a few minutes, and the lighting fixtures can't be built, let alone anything else. As for things other than electricity, as long as they are really unified into a clan, they will slowly tinker out themselves when the population increases.
"You don't seem to be in a bad mood, I'll tell you a story."
"Oh?" Is she still in this mood?
"The story of the Awakened who wants to 'cross' to the Paradise Zone to pretend to be a savior, at your browsing speed, you must not know yet."
