Zhang Huiyao glanced at Lin Shu curiously, is there any secret in the Wild Thunder Valley?
"Yes, Lin Shu's guess was all right, at that time, everyone underestimated the risks brought by the immature technique of the establishment of the plane channel, and as a result, a disaster occurred in the process of establishing the plane channel, and the entire Western Continent was blown apart, it is conceivable that in this case, what kind of losses the Western Continent will suffer. Although it will not be completely extinct, the weight of the damage is really unimaginable. ”
"The Western Continent, but now there are five continents, what about the Eastern Continent? ”
"Eastern Continent, hehe. After urgent research, the remnants of scholars in the Eastern and Western Continents believe that in order to terminate the distortion of space, it is necessary to change the rotation state of the Green Star, and to change this rotation state, it is necessary to change the center of gravity of the Green Star, and the result is that the Eastern Continent will also explode. ”
"What?!"
Zhang Huiyao's words stunned the three young people, imagine how crazy those people must have been back then! They actually had to take the initiative to blow up the Eastern Continent to change the rotation state of the Green Star.
"What happened later?" asked Lin Shu.
Of course, in order to avoid losses as much as possible, people made as much preparations as possible. Note. Just as much as possible!"
That is to say. Some of them are destined to die?"
"Well, you're right, it's frustrating, but that's the truth, those who live in remote areas, those who are old and incapable, and those who are defined as having no need to evacuate, are doomed to be sacrificed. Or rather, to fend for itself. ”
"So, what are the preparations they are taking?"
"It's called the Sky City Plan, and it's actually a thing called a low-Earth orbiter that sends people hundreds of kilometers in the air to survive the massive explosions and tsunamis that are coming, and the ash and energy tsunamis that come with the volcanic eruptions. ”
"What?Low Earth Orbiter?!"
Li Xiaoxin looked at Zhang Huiyao in surprise, Zhang Huiyao looked at her daughter with a smile, and then found that her baby daughter did not seem to be the surprised expression she imagined. Her face clearly meant something else.
"What, did I say something wrong?" asked Zhang Huiyao curiously.
"No, it's just this low-earth orbiter," Li Xiaoxin was a little embarrassed. Although the word came out of his mother's mouth, it seems that Tongshanmen has an obligation to keep it secret.
"Auntie, I'll talk about this later, you can go on, what happened later?"
Zhang Huiyao glanced at Li Xiaoxin strangely, exchanged a look with Li Sixian, and then continued: "Later, these low-earth orbiters flew to the sky with people on board, and then, the high-level powerhouses who stayed behind detonated the giant magic array set up after careful calculation, and exploded the Eastern Continent into five pieces. ”
"In other words, these five fragments are the five continents now?"
The whole process is said to have lasted tens of thousands of years, and the last five plates have gradually stabilized, and the plane channel has also stabilized in the Central Continent. Moreover, there are still remnants of human beings on various plates, and perhaps, those Grimnes were actually at the bottom of the sea during that period. ”
"What about the Longling Era?"
"That's what was left of the people on the surface, who were mainly congregating in the mountainous highlands to escape the tsunami and all kinds of natural disasters. ”
"Then how did the humans of the Longling period disappear?"
"According to legend, because of the war on the plane, the human beings who had just been reborn after a catastrophe had not yet recovered to their original level of technology, and the population was relatively small, so they had to adopt extreme tactics in the plane war, and ended the plane war with a method that almost ended together. ”
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Huiyao and asked, "Then those people who are high up and above, they just watch their compatriots end the curse they have planted by ending up together?"
"This" Zhang Huiyao heard disdain from Lin Shu's words, and her face was also a little embarrassed, although it was not her fault.
"Lin Shu, that was a long time ago, and there was still a gap of 20,000 years between the Great Destruction and the Great Earth War, and the people who had lived in the low-Earth orbiter for a long time did not consider the humans on the surface to be their companions, because those who were originally abandoned by them. ”
Li Sixian argued for Zhang Huiyao, Lin Shu shook his head and didn't say anything, Li Sixian was right, but from another point of view, these people with stronger abilities are really a little irresponsible.
"Lin Shu is right to look down on them, no matter what, the disaster of the plane channel was caused by them, and they should continue to be responsible for the consequences of the plane channel, and later, for this matter, the people on the low earth orbiter had a dispute, which eventually led to a split. ”
"Wait, supposedly, the ground can start life again by then, so why don't they come down?"
"I don't know how to do it, maybe it's disdainful, maybe it's faceless. ”
"Uh, what about the split?"
"The result of the split is that some people decide to go to the deep space of the universe, such as the red moon and the blue moon, and some of them decide to return to the ground, and those who plan to go to the deep space of the universe have nothing, but those who try to land have been strongly opposed, and finally caused a war. There may still be people who have returned to the ground, but the vast majority of those who want to return to the ground have died in the war. ”
Lin Shu sighed and said, "In other words, some people have advanced towards the universe, and they may still be on the red moon or blue moon now, while others have broken out into a war with those who are trying to return to the ground. ”
"Yes, although the war was won by the conservatives, and the original mode of life was maintained, but it also caused a crisis of confidence, and since then, the original unified regime has been abandoned, and it has become a state of division similar to the city-state system, and then later, some aircraft have problems and must transfer the population, and some aircraft have more and more populations, but because there is no unified government coordination, there are more and more disputes, and resources are more and more dispersed, and it is impossible to build new aircraft in the end. It was impossible to repair the old aircraft, and the level of technical skills also regressed on a large scale due to the lack of communication and promotion. ”
"Mom, this is a very sad story. ”
Zhang Huiyao patted the back of Li Xiaoxin's hand and said with a wry smile: "This is just the beginning of sadness. ”
"Before you say this, aunt, do you think that the continuation of civilization on the surface has anything to do with the people who have returned to the ground, and if so, why don't they mention the matter of low-earth orbiters after they return to the ground?"
Zhang Huiyao nodded and said: "I have also investigated this problem, but basically there is no direct evidence, I think the rise of modern magical civilization should be related to the human beings who have returned to the surface, because modern magical civilization lacks a juvenile period, magic seems to appear overnight, and then rapidly develops and grows, and after reaching a bottleneck, it has stabilized for thousands of years." In this case, it should have fully demonstrated that magic is passed down from generation to generation, not created by oneself. As for why the matter of the low-Earth orbiter is not mentioned, I think there is nothing to mention about it, it is a lot of disgrace. ”
Lin Shu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, it's really disgraceful, these people who returned to the ground were originally going to atone for their sins!"
"That's right, the people left in the LEO call these people betrayers, and those who leave for space radicals. ”
"Betrayer! What did you betray?"
Zhang Huiyao smiled bitterly and did not answer this question, but continued to say just now: "After the conservatives left in the sky split, the situation is also getting worse, the population is more and there is no living space, and the population has to be limited, and the population is small, which will lead to the simplification of the human race and reduce the quality of the population, as well as the lack of new resources, the lack of a broader space for activities, the lack of enthusiasm and pursuit of life, people are becoming more and more selfish, coupled with the problems of the system, the conservatives finally began to taste the bitter fruit of self-brewing." ”
"System?"
"Yes, the system, the result of the catastrophe of that year, made the people lose confidence in elite politics, and the last system that was formed was the democratization of the whole people, especially in a relatively simple political environment with a low-earth orbiter as a unit, it is not difficult to implement comprehensive democracy at all, right?"
Lin Shu nodded and said: "Yes, but comprehensive democracy is very dangerous, because people's selfish thoughts are wrong, most people will tend to choose the options that are beneficial to themselves, and ignore the options that are not good for themselves, but are beneficial to the public, and, in essence, the average IQ is definitely not as high as the individual IQ!"
Zhang Huiyao looked at Lin Shu with some surprise, Lin Shu's age is not at all like a person who can get this conclusion, this kind of conclusion must be a person who has a deep understanding of human nature and social nature to come to it, without rich life and social experience, how can he think that real democracy is so terrible.
Zhang Huiyao understands because she has personally experienced this terrible period and seen the consequences of this completely populist democracy.
"Mom, is Lin Shu right? Is there anything wrong with everyone deciding everyone's fate?"
"Hehe, theoretically speaking, this is a wonderful thing, but in reality, this is a disaster, Lin Shu is right, how can the average IQ be compared to the individual IQ?
Zhang Huiyao's expression was a kind of bitter fear, and Li Xiaoxin couldn't help but wonder when she saw it, is that thing really so terrible. (To be continued......)
