The whole process of the rise and fall of Easter Island seems to be extremely objective in the eyes of the entire human society, and it is so objective that it is a little indifferent.

This isolated island has become an excellent "testing ground".

Before modern times, there were no outsiders on Easter Island, and the sediment at the bottom of the pond on this remote island was completely undisturbed, and the most superficial layer was the closest to the modern era, and the lowest layer was the farthest from the modern era.

In the nineties, the latecomers of the technological explosion explored the distribution of plant pollen in the sediment at the bottom of the island's ponds, and saw the entire course of this millennium very calmly and clearly.

In front of all the evidence, it's like sitting in front of a TV and watching the whole process of the whole island from a lush forest to a sparse grassland.

What the islanders eat is also clear, just by analyzing the garbage dumps on the island that are dedicated to garbage and bones, the most direct evidence can be found, not necessarily to find a complete dolphin skeleton to determine that it is a dolphin, only through sequencing to determine what kind of animal it is.

It is the use of these modern technologies that has caused a mysterious island to gradually fade into a mysterious place, showing a cursed doom.

Without metal, the island's aborigines had to make do with Stone Age tools, so in 1300 years, more advanced agricultural tools, weapons, and boats did not appear, and foreign development could not become a reality.

The blind worship of stone statues by the people of Easter Island also consumed huge resources and accelerated the total collapse of the island's social structure.

"It may be said that once a closed ecosystem begins to decay due to human consumption, it will never have a chance to rise again, it will keep falling, and it will always be in a vicious circle."

Bi Fang stopped and looked at the stone statue beside him.

"Many anthropologists, sociologists, and environmentalists are now interested in the past of Easter Island, because they always feel that it may be a harbinger of the future fate of mankind."

Isn't this alarmist? No one knows the answer.

From another point of view, if you magnify the area of Easter Island by 1,000 times, and magnify the number of people living on the island by a million times, it can almost be regarded as the earth.

If the latecomers also look from God's point of view, if there are highly intelligent life on the earth island. Is there also a lack of key geographical conditions for development here?

Aren't its natural resources also limited? Isn't it also hanging alone in the ocean of the universe? Isn't it also an exchange of resources with other planets?

So is its future an amplified version of Easter Island? [Terrible to think about!]

[My brain is not good, the doctor told me to eat and drink, don't think too much]

[Such a big mental pressure is not something that my elementary school student should bear, this kind of thing should give sociologists a headache (dog head)]

[Let me think about what I'm going to eat tonight]

[I will not dust \ wax the surface of the satellite, nor will I design planets, global ocean maintenance and maintenance, repair and reinforcement of melting glaciers in the North and South Pole, and I will not refurbish nuclear warheads, but today Thursday, Brother Fu v I 50, I will help you eat KFC]

"Yes, this kind of problem is left to anthropologists and sociologists, I just want to cut down a suitable tree to make a boat."

Bi Fang smiled.

In fact, the disaster of the inhabitants of Easter Island did not stop there, in 1862, eight pirate ships visited the area, and took all the natives who could be slaves on board, taking with them a full 1,000 people, or half of the population.

The thousand men were all men, including the chief himself, and the chief's children, and none of them were spared.

And the smallpox virus was rampant at the time, and like the Indians, the natives here had no antibodies until 1865, when a French missionary landed on the island, he counted the number of people, and there were less than 500 people left on the entire Easter Island.

Over the next 10 years, many of the remaining people moved to Tahiti with the caravan to earn a living.

By 1877, 15 years after the massive slave Holocaust, the number of people on the island was only 111.

The population of Easter Island fell off a cliff: more than 20,000 people, more than 2,000 people, more than 1,000 people, less than 500 people, and finally only 111 people remained.

Until April 5, 1888, which was also Easter, the Chilean government announced the occupation of Easter Island on that day, followed by continuous immigration, construction, farming, until now, a tourism-focused Easter Island is presented to the world.

An independent island, presented may not necessarily be the "Peach Blossom Spring" described in the "land is flat, the houses are like that, there are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other".

More likely to repeat the tragedy of Easter Island.

"Most of the trees on the island today came to the island at the end of the 20th century after the boom in tourism, and they may not have grown for 30 years, so naturally there are no giant trees."

"However, there are some trees that were transplanted because they were big enough......"

Bi Fang stopped and looked at the resort in front of him.

As a world-renowned tourist destination, Easter Island naturally has many tourist hotels, quite luxurious, many packages cost thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars, after all, they are willing to pay tens of thousands of air tickets, and tourists who fly here do not care about more money to enjoy good services.

If it's cheap, this group of people will feel that it's not worth it.

The reason why Bifang stopped here is because the resort is a little different.

There are two large trees at its entrance, one is a palm tree and the other is also a palm tree......

Can these two be cut down? Bi Fang was a little moved.

After walking around the island, it has always been impossible to find palm trees that grow naturally to a large enough size, so you can only find a tree that has been transplanted the day after tomorrow, which is already a mature tree.

The two trees at the entrance of the resort are undoubtedly transplanted, quite tall, at least more than fifteen meters high, usually ten meters tall palm trees take nearly 20 years to grow, fifteen meters, no more than 30 years old to think about it.

In addition, Easter Island is very far away, and if you want to transplant trees here, not to mention the price of the tree itself, the cost of freight alone is extremely high, indicating that this resort is doing very well.

There are so many dwarf trees on the island, but the first two trees in front of the resort are extremely tall, which is refreshing, and at the same time there is a touch of atmosphere, like the welcome pine on the Yellow Mountain.

What a material!

Bi Fang stretched out his hand to touch the bark, rough and wide, the leaves are shady, the growth is gratifying, and it is well cared for at a glance.

Recall what the officer said to him when he was in San Diego, patting his chest: "Make a boat out of the trees of the island?" No problem, just cut it all, as long as it's on the island, it's okay to cut it all!"

People can't talk and don't count, right?
