The world of Mayien stores hedras that can be used for billions of years.

Chen Ji thought about it carefully, but it wasn't actually much.

The world of Mayin only has hedrons, they don't have the sun, and they don't seem to have any other energy sources.

In the Earth's universe, solar energy provides human beings with energy for billions of years, other galaxies will also exist for tens of billions of years, and there are stars that continue to be born until all stars are extinguished and become white dwarfs, which can still provide a certain amount of energy for life.

Perhaps hundreds of billions of years from now, humans will not be able to get any energy from the stars.

And in the Earth universe, the number of stars is innumerable, and the total amount of energy that can be provided to human beings is far more than the crystals consumed by the Mayien world for hundreds of billions of years!

"We had a long revelry."

The consciousness body sighed and said: "The material abundance of society has never been before, we have wasted a lot of energy on entertainment, and the development of technology has been very slow for millions of years. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ji glanced at the villagers.

As happy as the Mayien people were in the past, how miserable their descendants were, the villagers couldn't even light a lamp before, and the dead bodies were also recycled into golden altars and turned into energy to supply to the living.

"The only thing that has improved dramatically is our population."

"The footprints of the Mayien people are all over the world, with tens of thousands of countries, regions, and different folk customs, and at that time, travelers were the most envied profession."

"As the population grew, the country's struggle for territory and hedron gradually became acute, but at that time we were not aware of it, and the disintegrated Mayien society was not aware of the coming war."

"Until the man of Arrom appeared, he was born in a country on the edge of the bottom of the world, and the homeland of the Mayien people was the bottom of the world, so the competition for spars was even fiercer in the place where he was, and dozens of countries often fought together.

Ambitious, Arrom reused scientists, modified the bodies of his soldiers, created new weapons of war, made them wear hedron armor, and promised that his exploits could be exchanged for knighthoods...... After a series of reforms, his army became incomparably stronger.

A hundred years later, he unified the underground, making the entire Mayien world once again pay attention to the underground.

Ten years later, Yarom launched an attack on the earth, encroaching on other countries little by little.

People accused him of violating social morality, modifying soldiers, and calling him a dictatorial tyrant, but still could not stop Yarom's expansion. ”

"The army led by Yarom grew stronger, and many countries were forced to unite...... The war spread from the underground to the middle, and eventually the entire world of the Mayien people was involved.

Arrom was killed, but his successor ......

The war burned everywhere, and in the midst of the harsh war, Yarom's grandson restored the monarchy and took all power......

The war has been going on for many years, and ironically, our technology has developed rapidly during the war.

Hedron weapons are constantly being developed, intelligent robots, war armor, subspace weapons, and even our bodies have been transformed to be able to directly use spars, women have also been pulled into battle, and childbirth is done by machines.

The war stopped and started again, over and over again, and after more than a thousand years, Arrom VII barely unified the world.

But knowing that the rebellion was still ongoing, he forced a large number of scientists to work for him, building a supermachine called 'Imperial Prestige', which possessed unparalleled computing power, could control the entire Empire's mechanized forces, cooperate on the battlefield, and monitor anyone who opposed him in the network...... He even tried to implant a chip in everyone's brain in order to control everyone. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ji couldn't help but sigh: "The development of science and technology ...... To a certain extent, it's not a good thing. ”

The brain is implanted with a chip, which is equivalent to everyone being his puppet.

"Yes, we didn't realize until later."

The consciousness continued: "When the microchip program was launched by Arome VII, even those around him panicked...... The war of resistance lasted for decades, but luckily, the secret door left behind by the scientists who created the 'Imperial Glory' was finally triggered, and the supermachine stopped moving, and Arrom was caught by soldiers and dragged out into the street the next day to kill.

But peace did not last long.

The power of the Empire resides in every intelligent machine, and it still carries out the orders of Arrom VII.

The war between the Mayien and the intelligent machines broke out......

A millennium later, the war ended, and the Mayians purged all the machines and locked up the Empire's might.

Its repository contains a large number of pre-war historical materials, including many literary works created by people who rebelled against Arrom.

Soon after, scientists modified it to make it friendly and less aggressive, and after repeated testing, it was released to the general public and named 'Peace'. ”

"After the war, the technology of the Mayien people has developed again, we can easily go anywhere, we can modify the space-time membrane, create previously unimaginable objects, and even our bodies have become extremely powerful, we only need energy to survive forever, the boundaries of gender have been broken, many people have no gender since birth, it can be men, women, or whatever gender you want to be.

After another long time, technology has come to an end, our science has come to a standstill, and many scholars have started to study things that don't exist, publishing some weird research.

For example, virtual networks, mathematics, memory, four-dimensional space, five-dimensional world......

Many technologies simply cannot be verified, and scholars can only let the computer simulate and get the results, and then can't wait to publish them in order to win the attention of the society. ”

The consciousness body smiled: "At that time, people laughed at these scientists, it was a waste of spars, of course, the scientists themselves knew that their research results were useless, they just researched and published, and the data was stuffed into the database of the supermechanical body 'Peace'.

At that time, there was an atmosphere of absurdity and decadence, and people pursued everything new, drunk and dreamed of death in virtual networks.

This absurdity lasted until a sociologist named Kallochi appeared.

Originally, he was just a very ordinary person, and at that time, everyone in our society was an artist and a scientist, and people did not need to work.

Carloche is ordinary, but he wants to be famous. ”

The narration of the consciousness body seemed to have entered a calm period, and Xia Shumin, who was nervous about the war before, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"What did he do?"

Mu Xiaoxiao asked.

"He didn't do anything, he lied."

"Lying?"

"Yes."

The consciousness body said: "Carlo Qi wants to be famous, but he has no talent, so he keeps thinking, thinking and thinking, and finally one day, he got inspiration from the spar, so he forged a survey data and posted it on the Internet, saying that there is less than half of the spar left in our world, and calling on everyone to save energy." ”

"Hahaha."

Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, and Zhou Wan couldn't help laughing.

The consciousness smiled as well, then glanced at the villagers, and quickly changed to a sigh.

Chen Ji also stopped smiling.

It's funny, but it's not funny.

The consciousness continues:

In Carloqi's view, the world is so big, it is impossible to investigate the spar reserves, he just wants to win attention and get some research funds from the state.

People laughed at him at first, thinking that there was no need to worry at all, and that the hedron could not be consumed so quickly, even after those wars.

Carlo won the funding.

Ten years later, he and some scientists came up with a report showing that our world has consumed at least one-tenth of the hedrons.

Not halfway through, but already a frightening number.

At that time, the civilization of the Mayien people had only gone through a million years. ”

A million years.

It's not less, but the hedron consumed is still amazing.

"The war consumed too much?" Chen Ji asked.

"War is part of the factor, and part of it is because the scientists who did the calculations didn't take into account that our world population would become so large and that war would become so terrible."

The consciousness continued: "People panicked about it, and after a lot of discussion, we made several decisions.

One is to find ways to increase the hedron, the second is to find a way to stop the hedron from losing energy, and the third is to reduce the use of energy.

But none of these decisions worked, but some people went to extremes and began to consciously kill people.

Our society is in turmoil, and after realizing that resources are scarce, the competition for spars has become more and more fierce, and war has broken out again.

This time, the intensity of the war was extremely terrifying, the space-time membrane was broken through in batches, the sky and the earth shattered and collapsed, and the war was carried out by destroying the lives and living space of others.

By the time the war is over, our population will be more than half smaller. ”

This time, instead of describing the course and duration of the war in detail, the consciousness body concludes with a brutal depopulation.

Chen Ji can roughly guess how many people died, the 100-light-year-old Mayien world, with a total population of at least one billion, can imagine how cruel this war is.

"We draw only one conclusion from this war:

War is not a catalyst for technology. ”

Mayien's consciousness body said calmly: "When the technology of a world is developed to the limit, war will not bring any changes to technology.

And after we repaired the space-time membrane, when we checked our spars again, we found that the total amount of spars in the entire world had dropped to one-third of the original.

People began to reflect on the war and decided to destroy all weapons of war, instead fully supporting research and technology, trying to find a way to increase the reserves of hedrons. ”

"We re-examined our technology, civilization, society, etc., and retrieved the data that had been lost for many years from the super-mechanical 'Peace', and upgraded it again, named 'Void Exploration', hoping that it would make a breakthrough in Mayen's technology."

"That supermachine is still there?"

Chen Ji was a little surprised, and glanced at the quiet and silent Mayien.

"Yes. It's still there. ”

The consciousness body smiled slightly, "The super machine stores a lot of data and is scattered all over the world, so even after the war, its data is well preserved. ”

"We looked at all the previous technologies, and a theorem that we knew a long time ago, but never paid attention to, was rediscovered."

"The theorem is that the color of the hedron is always fixed."

Chen Ji nodded, indicating that he understood what this law represented, and turned his head to Zhou Wan and Mu Xiao: "It's very similar to the second law of thermodynamics." ”

They all learned about the earth sciences and knew what the theorems of thermodynamics were.

As for Astana and Xia Shumin, they can only look at each other now.

The second law of thermodynamics states that heat can only be transferred spontaneously from a hot object to a low temperature, and vice versa.

In the Mayien world, the color change of the hedron also represents the change of energy.

"Does the earth have such laws?"

After the consciousness asked clearly, he couldn't help but sigh: "We actually knew for a long time that the color change of the spar will only follow a fixed order, from colorful to monochromatic, from monochrome to white, until all the energy is lost and becomes useless black soil.

But we didn't care all the time, because we have too many hedrons and don't need to worry about energy.

It wasn't until after that war that scientists shifted the focus of their research here again.

People gradually realized that when we use energy to make spars, the ratio of consumption to output is always greater than 1! It takes us two parts of energy to get one of the energy stored in the hedrons, and the rest of the energy is lost. ”

“……”

Chen Ji was speechless for a while.

The Mayien people, who have developed to a very high level of science and technology, have just realized that perpetual motion machines cannot be caused.

But it doesn't seem to blame them either.

They have this theoretical basis, but no one cares, because they have countless hedrons to splurge!

It wasn't until they cared about energy consumption that they confirmed that a perpetual motion machine couldn't be built.

It's not that they can't use technology, it's that their world limits the perpetual motion machine, and if you want to make a spare, you have to spend more energy.

And their spars are decreasing.

"Scientists are going to be driven crazy by the color laws of hedrons."

The consciousness continued: "No matter what method we use, we cannot reverse this law, reduce friction to a very low level, build machines more exquisitely, put laboratories in subspace, or even introduce space-time membranes, etc., none of which can reverse this law.

Luckily, we can also recover energy from the air, and scientists are starting to call on the Mayien to start farming again, and yes, we've found that plants are the most convenient and beautiful way to harvest energy, not the most efficient, but the most unpretentious! ”

"Haha."

Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, and even Xia Shumin, who didn't understand well, covered his mouth and snickered.

The Mayien people, who are so powerful, have returned to farming after tens of millions of developments.

"We're finally breathing a sigh of relief."

The consciousness body smiled and said: "We recalculated the reserves of spars, and found that the reserves of spars were not so much, and the population has increased, and the rate of consumption has already increased many times with the development of science and technology.

Recalculated, our hedron runs out in less than 100 million years.

Thankfully, we can recycle energy from the air.

The problem of energy seems to have been solved, and people's lives have become the same as before, except for the importance of farming.

We have experienced war, peace, war, peace, history repeating itself.

It wasn't until our world was unified again and scientists checked the hedron reserves again that they found that we had less than a tenth of the spar left.

People who reflect on the war are panicking again and calling on scientists to find a way as soon as possible, hedron is still our most important source of energy, and it must be there in order to maintain the developed society of the Mayien people.

Scientists decided to build metal plates that would extract energy from the air and directly make hedrons, and put them in various parts of the world.

The situation has been temporarily eased.

When people reflected on the war again, they found that the efficiency of making spars from metal sheets was getting lower and lower, the price of spars was getting higher and higher, and the prices of spars were skyrocketing, and many people were forced to start working to survive.

People protested, people started wars, fought for spars, grabbed land......

History repeats itself constantly, and reflection only leads to the next one. ”

The deep voice of the consciousness body was heard.

He spoke of countless years of history in one breath, very long, but not heavy, because it was repeated all the time.

Xia Shumin understood these words, people who read history books will only find what they want from history books, and the change of dynasty has never changed.

"Many years later, a man named Mayien unified the world and, as an archon, gained the supreme power of our country."

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and Mayien actually appeared?!

This name is not only the name of the girl around Chen Ji, but also the self-name of this civilization, which is enough to see its importance to the Mayian people.

The name had not been mentioned by the Mayien consciousness before, and there is a high probability that "Mayien" came from this person.
