Archie's statement continues: "Our human development has gone through the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, the Steam Turbine Age, the Electronic Age, and the Digital Age...... What kind of era is it now? I think it's a whole new era. Our thinking needs to be completely new, too! ”

Applause rang out at the right time during Archie's brief pause. As if echoing, the parrot with colorful feathers flew in from the door of the conference room.

Mary also put it in the rover during the meeting, but the meeting was a little too long, and it broke the delicate but not very strong chain.

As the applause of the deputy leader of Algey's speech was about to cease and a new paragraph was about to begin, he habitually raised his right hand, elbowed it on the table, and pointed it with one finger outstretched. At this moment, the parrot fluttered down on his raised hand, and the gorgeous wings were folded in his hand, as if he had spoken in a magnificent manner:

"There is a huge project of lunar restoration waiting for us, which requires us to concentrate almost all of our manpower and material resources on the moon, and no one will oppose me. But some of us are working on some labs! What kind of flowers and plants are being done, what kind of birds are being done -- of course, women have a natural interest in small flowers and birds and things like that, and I have no objection to that. ”

"But a few people who have control over the moon's vast resources are also obsessed with it! I don't understand. Are we just going to waste our time as we go? We don't want to change that? Changing our organizational model, changing where we are, changing our future? ”

Marie was so encouraged by the deputy chief's brilliant speech that he made three changes in a row without thinking. Before the applause resumed, she exclaimed, almost emotionally, "Awesome Archie! ”

Almost as soon as Mary finished speaking, the parrot said in a voice that resembled that of Archie, "Mary, come up above!" Come up above, Mary! ”

For the first time, everyone in the venue heard a guy who was not human speaking in a human tone, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Then an uncontrollable burst of laughter resounded through the conference hall.

The elder of the non-clan laughed so hard that his lips turned blue, but he still couldn't control it. His female secretary immediately took out a small bottle and poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

After his breathing calmed down, the non-clan elder said with a strange look distorted by a smile on his face, "Yes, deputy leader, we have to change, change everything, including the thing that the parrot said...... Hahaha... Haha...... "The secretary hurriedly took out another spray.

Archie's vice-leader angrily waved open the parrot, and it flew back into Marie's hand. The deputy chieftain, completely enraged by the laughter, raised his voice and exclaimed, "Yes, of course, change is at least better than the same!" Since our work has been stalled for so long, why can't I have the opportunity to lead people to change? ”

Yelu Zhousheng spoke almost in the eagerness of some people, and he smiled and said, "Deputy Chief, what change do you want to lead us with?" Like the parrot said? What changes are you talking about! ”

"Great Chief, am I wrong? Don't forget that I'm also studying these days, and almost all the information says so, can there be any mistakes? ”

Yelu Zhousheng said disdainfully, "It's still someone else's say." ”

He said: "It is true that the eras just listed by the deputy chief are mentioned in some sources, but this is completely incorrect. Such a classification will refer to a tool commonly used by human beings, a specific thing, and a very abstract method. With this classification, it is no wonder that our pace of transforming the universe has stagnated. The division of an era is by no means a child's sharing of candy, and it is by no means as simple as the era of three sugars and the era of five sugars. ”

"That'...... Big Chief, how do you say it? The hobbit asked.

"The activities of human beings to transform the world are very uneven. The 'world' is time, and the 'world' is space, and it would be too simple to divide it according to the way of transformation of time, because since human beings had the consciousness of transforming the world, they only invented clocks and watches in the transformation of time. ”

"Therefore, what is currently customary to talk about should be different methods and stages of human transformation of space."

Elder Hua asked with great interest, "Great Chief, tell me, according to your meaning, how do you divide it?" ”

"I guarantee that what I am talking about is not hearsay, not copied information, and not by any expert...... The first era, called the Age of the Minions, was a period in which humans were almost indistinguishable from other animals, and they used their teeth and nails to change their surroundings. ”

"The second era is called the Age of Wood and Stone. Whether it is Neolithic or Paleolithic, it is the same attribute, and it is the first time that humans know how to use stone tools and wooden sticks. ”

"The third age is the age of fire, and since the discovery and use of fire, human beings have greatly improved the efficiency of transforming space -- we should not say the world, we can only say that space -- transforming space. This era is further subdivided into three stages: the barbecue period, the copper and iron period, and the period of the combination of fire and circle. We have changed our food with fire, refined it to copper and iron, and the combination of fire and the circle has allowed us to find greater power, and the steam turbine should be classified as an individual thing in the period of the fire circle. ”

There was silence in the hall, and only the big leader was heard talking: "The fourth era is the electromagnetic age, and the fifth is the nuclear age." Don't talk about digitalization and informatization! What is the knotted account of our ancestors in ancient times? What is the Peak Fire Message? What are carrier pigeons, telegrams, and telephones? Is it also to give them an era? Shall we have another 'time to come to the top'? The crowd will only make us what Elder Hua called 'gnats in a cage'. ”

"Still, is there anything else?" Archie asked, stammering. He couldn't digest the words of the big chief.

"Of course. Judging from the easy-to-learn ideas handed down by our Chinese people, there is at least one more crucial era, and we have made many attempts in this regard, but it is not large enough to be an era, but this era has already begun, and it is our ultimate means to transform the world. ”

"Hmph, you just said you can't use the word world."

Yelu Zhousheng said, "In this era, we can finally say the word "transforming the world." ”

"Why is it so hard for us to transform the world," he said. We invented this, we invented that, and at most perfected our means of changing space. So we are getting stronger, faster, and higher...... However, the helplessness of time makes us fall to the starting point again and again. Sometimes, we feel that the more we do, the less time we have.

The elder of the non-clan said thoughtfully, "Yes, if I have an endless amount of time, maybe one day in the future, I won't cry when I look at the beautiful woman." ”

The Great Leader smiled and said, "There was once a brilliant man in the European tribe named Goethe. On his deathbed, he dragged his weakened body to the small square in front of his residence, and wept at the sculpture of a nude woman by an artificial fountain. ”

The crowd pondered, and the venue fell silent.
