It is the view of the god of war that war can eliminate the weak and give the strong more resources, thus driving progress. Ranwen? ?? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ `ｎｅt

Sui Xiong is no stranger to this view. Before he crossed, there were many similar views on the Internet. According to one of his netizens who knows a lot, this is called "social Darwinism".

At first glance, this theory does seem to make sense. It seems reasonable to compare natural elimination and biological evolution, but ...... When Sui Xiong was still in school, he learned how to refute it.

This is thanks to his talkative Professor Cheng, who taught "art history" rather than "ancient history", "biological history", "revolutionary history", etc., but because he liked to ramble in class, Sui Xiong and the others learned a lot of other things outside of art history.

Among them is precisely about this set of theories and refutations of it.

And that Professor Cheng is a very casual person, his test paper has always been what he thinks is important, the syllabus? What is it that can be eaten? In a final exam, he really took this test.

The blessing of dragging that exam, Sui Xiong really remembers this paragraph.

He carefully recalled for a moment, then broke the silence: "Wenner, I have a small question. ”

The god of war looked back at him and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Is there any reliable basis for your statement that nature uses war to eliminate the weak in order to screen out stronger and better individuals and populations?"

The god of war was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Isn't this kind of thing a matter of course? In a pack of wolves, the strongest wolf can get the most food, grow to the strongest, and eventually become the king of wolves." It alone has the right to mate with the she-wolf and reproduce offspring...... Anyone who has lived in the wilderness knows these things. ”

Sui Xiong smiled: "Then I want to ask a question, from ancient times to modern times, has the 'wolf' species become stronger and stronger?"

Wenner was stunned, closed his eyes and remembered carefully for a long time, and then showed a blank look.

"Strange...... Ancient wolves compared to modern wolves...... It seems that the ancient wolves were a little stronger......"

Among the gods present, many of them had lived for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer, and under Sui Xiong's reminder, they also remembered one after another.

The result of the memories is naturally similar, everyone is from the same era, and no one comes from a different world or a different world line, so of course there will not be much difference in what you have seen and heard along the way.

Seeing that the gods were also surprised, Sui Xiong smiled slightly and continued: "As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, the general trend of the creatures in the main plane is that the strength of individuals is constantly decreasing, and at the same time, the population is constantly increasing, and the chances of excellent individuals appearing in the race are increasing, isn't that the case?"

The gods nodded their heads.

"Let's take humans as an example, humans in ancient times were actually quite strong, and they could even fight low-level demonic beasts with their bare hands without the help of any tools. This kind of force can be regarded as an excellent adventurer in contemporary times, and may even be close to the intermediate level, but in ancient times, when the god of knights had just been canonized as a god, and humans were almost pressed and beaten by orcs, basically as long as they were adults, they had this kind of force, right?"

Several of the elders among the gods, as well as some who were interested in history, nodded their heads.

"In ancient times, the proportion of demonic beasts among the beasts was much higher than it is now. At that time, if you just find a wolf pack in the wild, most of the wolf kings are demonic beasts, and there will even be several demonic beasts in the wolf pack, right?"

The older gods continued to nod.

"Then the question arises, if according to the god of war, the weak are eliminated through war, and the powerful individuals and races survive, then the ancient beings should be weaker than they are now, why is the result the other way around?"

Gods, you look at me, I look at you, most of them don't know how to answer.

At this moment, the god of the water elemental spoke: "I have heard a saying that from ancient times to the present, the concentration of magic power in the main plane has decreased, so the strength of living beings has also decreased. ”

Sui Xiong smiled and said, "You are the longest among the gods, these things are history for others, and nothing more than a piece of the past for you." So do you agree with that?"

"Up until now, I was in favor of it. The water elemental god smiled bitterly and said, "But now, I'm not sure. ”

"Why?"

"Because I remembered carefully, although the concentration of mana on the main plane had indeed decreased a few times, it had also increased a few times. In general, the current concentration of mana in the main plane is actually not much lower than in the original era when there were strong people everywhere, which can be seen from the top strength of the creatures. The top powerhouses of this era are no weaker than those of that era. Those powerful legendary demonic beasts of this era, even if they go back to that era, they are also strong people who can divide one side. ”

It is an old-timer among the gods, a well-deserved old qualification. With the identity, when these words are said, it is natural that they will never go wrong.

So the gods are even more at a loss, if it is said that because of the decline in the concentration of mana, it has led to the general weakening of creatures, then it is understandable, but the actual situation is that the concentration of mana in the present era is actually not much lower than the reason, why are creatures a lot weaker?

Sui Xiong smiled as he watched the gods ponder blankly, and after a long while, he spoke again.

"I have a speculation about this, you might as well discuss it and see if it is reasonable or not. ”

The eyes of the gods were once again focused on him.

"We all know that, with the exception of a few legendary creatures, the vast majority of species need to reproduce and continue their populations from generation to generation. The question here is how to ensure that the next generation can be better continued?"

"Are you strong enough?" asked a god tentatively, "as long as you are strong enough to protect the next generation, then of course you will be fine." ”

"It's a good idea, but how can you make sure that you're always strong and never get setback?" Sui Xiong continued.

The god shook his head, unable to speak.

No one can answer this question.

If there is really such a good way, then everyone is afraid that they have become great divine powers, how can it be that until now, there are not many powerful divine powers?

"I believe that in the face of changes in the world, in the face of impermanent fate, and in the face of all kinds of crises everywhere, it is not enough to ensure the continuation of the population by relying on its own strength. In contrast, the easiest and most reliable way is to have more children. Sui Xiong said.

More than one god burst out laughing.

Of course, he has a point, having more children is naturally conducive to the continuation of the population.

So the problem arises, it is easy to have a child, but it is not easy to raise a child. Sui Xiong said, "Children need enough food to grow up, and if the race is too strong, how can we ensure that there is enough food to feed a large group of children who can eat?"

There was much less laughter, and many gods were lost in thought.

"I know quite a few dragons who can eat a cow in one meal, and if they eat it every day, it will be a terrible amount of food, so they often sleep to reduce their consumption. And if a giant dragon starts to reproduce at the age of ten, once a year, five or six dozen or so each time, then how much do you think they can eat?"

The laughter was completely gone, and the gods were all lost in thought.

"Therefore, for the prosperity of the race, the easiest way is to have more children, and at the same time to become moderately weak. Sui Xiong smiled and came to a conclusion, "More birth, low consumption, and disease resistance are the foundation for the continuation and prosperity of the race." ”

This last sentence was exactly the question of the exam that year. (To be continued.) )
