Chapter 417: The Snake Man's Determination to Civilize
"Ladies and gentlemen, all the information about the Plague of the Netherlands and the Moses Civilization is here. The instrument that has not yet been fully cracked is placed on the Island of Friendship and cracked by human experts. I, the snake people, also sent some linguists. ”
"Either way, we have to plan ahead."
The chief consul at the time was named Beetle, the one who first came into contact with humans, and now, a hundred years later, he has risen to the highest position in this civilization.
The higher he stands, the more he understands the laws of the operation of society, and the helplessness of this civilization.
The snake civilization is not a very united civilization, and there are great problems with the system, although there is currently a supreme governing council, but the power of the chief consul is limited.
A large part of this is due to......
They have a transcendent relic!
Named - "Xiangyi"!
Even, their entire green world of birds and flowers is built on an incomparably large corpse!
The peaks that stretch for thousands of miles are bones and scales!
The meandering underground rivers are the meridians of each other.
Countless underground treasures are made of flesh and blood.
In the legends of other civilizations, it is also recorded that the divine beast is powerful and extraordinary, "The snake has nine heads, eats countless people, and everywhere it goes, it becomes a Ze country." ”
Legend has it that the water it spews out is worse than a flood, bitter and spicy, and if you eat it, you will die. Therefore, this kind of water cannot live even for animals.
In addition, there are some legends that call it "Hydra", "Yaki Snake" and so on.
After all, it is an objective fact that the more mythical beasts there are, the stronger their combat power will be.
But no matter how powerful a creature is, there will be a day when it dies, and after Xiang Xiang dies, this corpse has become a paradise of life.
The Snake People are a race born from the transcendent relics.
The huge corpse was divided into 9 parts, so it evolved into 9 snake branches, and in ancient times, wars between each other continued for years.
It wasn't until modern times that the emergence of the Sea of Demon Gods and the increasingly powerful alien species allowed the internal war to stop.
However, the history of the past is not so easily indelible.
The more snake people who inherit each other's bloodline, the greater their innate potential, and they are born strong. Ordinary snake people, who account for the vast majority of the number, are as difficult as breaking through the bottleneck, and they do not have the same breathing skills as humans...... So the snake people of the civilian class, like cattle and horses, do not have any rights.
Well, breathing is really the foundation of human civilization and the foundation of equality for everyone, and this is no joke!
All in all, the snake people are all based on bloodline talent!
Therefore, the formation is also "together", and the defeat is also "together", since the natural bloodline determines the class,
Those low-class snake people who were born naturally lost their subjective initiative.
The development of science and technology requires the power of all living beings, a large number of engineers and scientists, and a relatively relaxed cultural atmosphere. Don't say 100 million, 100 million high-quality talents, always want, right?
Now most snake people are stuck to death by the innate bloodline, no matter how hard they try, they can't make a class jump, and it is natural that they can't develop technology.
There have also been ambitious chiefs who want to reform this issue.
Especially after coming into contact with the more powerful Honggang people, who does not yearn for higher productivity? Now even humans are catching up!
But here comes the problem again, vested interests are too powerful.
With the advantage of bloodline, there are a large number of snake people who think they are superior, they have a lot of resources, and they also control the cutting-edge combat power, so let them give up a little cake, it is absolutely impossible!
Unless...... Blood and war!
But they don't have the courage to do that.
Therefore, Honggang people's evaluation of the snake civilization has a deep-rooted "system problem", and it is still a feudal civilization, which is definitely not a joke!
Thinking of this, the beetle was extremely helpless, now that the catastrophe is coming, there is really no time to reform: "Everyone, the catastrophe is coming." No matter how strong the transcendent relics are, can they withstand the disaster of the demon god? No! ”
"If we want to escape the disaster, we need to dig up the remnants of each other and build a new home on them! As long as the relics of each other exist, no matter where they are, our race will have a chance to rise again. ”
The snake people looked at each other, and the remnants of each other had long since merged with the continent and turned into something like stone.
Dig it out - how do you dig it?
Moreover, the nine branches that dislike each other are reunited, and if you think about it with your tail, you can see how many contradictions there are.
"We also have to think about the issue of civilizational cooperation!"
"There is so much that if we do not seek the cooperation of civilizations, we will almost certainly die! If we do not seek reform, we will always be just an ordinary civilization. Even if you have a relic, it can only be like this. ”
"Your Excellency, do you mean to learn from the human civilization next door? We have a 10,000-year-old cultural heritage, so why should you be arrogant? An old snake man with a strong bloodline said a little unceremoniously.
For this kind of old stubbornness, the beetle can only tell the truth: "Your Excellency, you must admit that the current human civilization is more than a step stronger than ours. Whether it is the comprehensive level or the war potential revealed in this investigation, it is much stronger than our snake people. ”
The serpent said, "That's just because they're lucky to have a transcendent!" ”
"No, no, no, even if that transcendent doesn't make a move, I think that the level of human investigation is much higher than ours."
In the Black and White Scales report, they also made this point clear. The number of attacks on human beings is much smaller than ours, and the same will be true in future investigations. ”
"We can't make power armor at all, and even if we make mirror-steel defenses, it will take a lot of time. On the human side, it only takes half a month. ”
The two young brothers and sisters, Black Scales and White Scales, can be regarded as the younger generation with particularly pure blood and the greatest potential, and may even become the ultimate of the spirit!
This kind of potential seed is naturally the object of attraction by all parties.
The old snake man snorted coldly and did not answer.
The Supreme Consul, Beetle, added: "It has only taken two hundred years for mankind, especially the last thirty years, to catch up with the development of the year before us. ”
"We even split into 9 factions, and there is no way to integrate the forces!"
"This disparity may continue until the day we become extinct, and there will be no regret, but it will be too late."
This kind of snake man who has lived for thousands of years is obviously thick-skinned enough, but he snorted coldly and stopped answering.
Who doesn't know that learning modern thinking is beneficial to the development of civilization as a whole?
But the first thing to learn is to get rid of the interests of the upper classes, distribute the cake to all sentient beings, and stimulate their subjective initiative; Schools must be established and education must be universalized.
This one alone,
And who can do it?
Since you can't do it, you say a fart!
The beetle said: "No matter what, the cooperation of civilizations is inevitable of the times, otherwise it can only be self-extinct!" ”
"I think we can invite human expeditions into our world and discuss cooperation."
"Even, the foundation of our clan's life, the remaining bloodline, can also give some."
"In exchange, we can also study the human world and learn about their culture and knowledge, which is the first step to enhancing friendship and mutual understanding."
There was silence in the room for a while.
In the past, they would have voiced their opposition long ago.
Inviting members of other civilizations to your own world is a big security risk! What if the other party carries the World Hunter? What if the other party has bad intentions?
As for giving away some of the bloodline of Xiangyi - it's nothing, they have this thing, and they have the most profound research on Xiangyi's bloodline, I'm afraid you won't come to me.
In short, the proponents and opponents of this decision actually reached a tie.
Because compared to the terrifying Demon God Calamity, this risk is a fart - although humans have caught up with the snake people, they have not far surpassed the snake people.
What's more, the snake civilization itself also has a lot of hole cards, and it takes revenge on the other side, thinking that it can do it.
……
……
……
Almost at the same time, the earth, Donghua City, was also holding a supreme meeting of the coalition government.
Although there are more than a dozen countries on the human side, on the whole, they are still a whole, and the forces can be integrated together.
But in the face of such a big thing, it is really gloomy.
If you really want to emulate those seven races, the first thing to do is to control the size of the population and carry out family planning!
"It may take a lot of time for the Netherworld Plague to completely destroy our world community. In order to reduce the need for living space, population control is a must. ”
"With reasonable control, a 50 percent reduction in the population in 100 years, and a 70 percent reduction in 200 years...... Even a little more ruthlessly, a 90% reduction in population in 200 years can be achieved. In this way, the demand for living space will be greatly reduced. ”
The gray-haired old professor, pale as he introduced the contents of the screen, felt like a wild animal that had lost its humanity, and was only talking about some cold numbers.
Even though, behind these numbers will represent countless joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
The audience also listened quietly, there was no sound in the conference room, and the cold air blowing from the air conditioner was like a cold wind from Siberia.
"Is there no other way?" A middle-aged man in a tunic said.
"Unless it's ...... Space technology. The kind of space technology that can create a large capacity can allow the entire civilization to live with more people. Otherwise, population control is a must. We believe that the Mosaic civilization also controlled the population for a long time. ”
"But space technology is hard."
