Chapter 869 Civilization
"So we're now in another world timeline where Earth has been gged off?"

Yang spread his hands and asked.

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "That's right, that's it."

"Wait, we seem to have gone too far." Yang found that this time it was Zhou Wen who had brought the topic between the two of them to a weird place, and he tried to return to the question he wanted to ask at the beginning.

"You haven't told me why you want to introduce the Weirs into the earth. It doesn't seem to have much to do with wanderers or lost people?"

……

Zhou Wen explained so many messy things to Yang at once. Although Yang could roughly understand what he wanted to express, he couldn't figure out why, why the Weirs were brought in to create this catastrophe.

Although it was said that the Will people were eyeing the earth, it cannot be denied that if Zhou Wen hadn't made such a series of designs, the Will people would not have entered the scope of the earth now, at least not yet.

……

"Because it's the only way."

Zhou Wen nodded and said.

"Even without the emergence of predators, human beings will eventually perish."

He made a very firm statement.

……

"Of course I know this, but it will be many years later. If the solar system's light is weakened or something, the extinction will definitely happen, but you won't advance it just because it will perish after many years?"

Yang spread his hands.

Everyone knows that a race cannot last forever.

The organisms that have lived on the earth in the past hundreds of millions of years have proved this.

……

However, Zhou Wen shook his head and said:

"That's not what I meant. Do you know what the development process of civilization should be like?"

"I haven't finished my nine years of compulsory education and you're asking me this?" Yang rolled his eyes.

Zhou Wen said slowly:
"According to the normal situation, if a biological civilization wants to enter the ranks of advanced civilizations, it must take into account its own technological level and the energy reserves they possess. Some rapid development of science and technology is achieved at the cost of energy consumption. That is to say, the two must be kept in a balanced state, which must be an ecological balance, and if the technology of civilization develops too fast, but does not take into account the issue of energy, eventually when the energy is exhausted, this civilization will also bring It is going to perish with its brilliant technology."

"Most of the civilizations in the universe will eventually perish after reaching this point. Of course, the premise is that there are no predators. The predators in the universe are not only a race like the Welsh, there are many peers, except Except for the civilizations wiped out by the looters, the vast majority of civilizations in the universe are dying in the process of their own survival and development."

"The development direction of science and technology must always take energy into consideration. The utilization rate and direction of energy utilization are extremely important. Otherwise, they will go astray and eventually perish. What I want to tell you now is that human beings It has completely deviated from the road that may lead to a high-level civilization. Although we now generally have this awareness of environmental protection or sustainable development awareness, there is nothing that can be recovered. The development method accumulated over a long period of time has already It is no longer within the correct category, and it cannot be reversed in a short period of time. With the development level of the old world of human beings, it may take hundreds of years to reach the level of high-level civilization and truly contact the outer universe. world, but do the math yourself, with the current resources of the earth and the utilization rate that humans can achieve, can it last for hundreds of years?"

"Hundreds of years?" The corner of Yang's mouth twitched: "You think too much, you may not be able to last for 50 years. This seems to be something I saw in a magazine before."

"It's not as short as 50 years, but what is certain is that it is definitely not enough to support our technology to enter the high-level civilization of the universe. Therefore, if judged according to the theoretical laws, human beings are simply not enough to survive. At that stage, they will basically belong to the ranks of civilizations that have been eliminated in the process of their own development. In fact, most of the civilizations in the universe follow such a development route.”

Zhou Wen presented his analysis results calmly.

"Where did you learn these things?" Yang asked after thinking about it.

Obviously, what Zhou Wen said revolves around one basis, that is, the development process of cosmic civilization.

He seems to know how a normal civilization should go to a high-level stage.

But this is not possible.

Because human beings have never been in contact with the civilizations of the outer universe. Before the invasion of the Weirs, with human technology, it was impossible to know how those civilizations in the outer universe continued to evolve and develop into a high-level stage.

However, Zhou Wen spoke clearly and logically.

……

"Someone told me."

Zhou Wen's answer is this.

"No one is a genius from the beginning. Someone once found me and transmitted this to me."

"Who?" Yang asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Wen shook his head.

……

"You're so unreliable." Yang rolled his eyes.

"Hey, now I'm not discussing whether it's reliable or not. What I want to say is that when a civilization can no longer successfully enter the high-level stage by relying on itself, it needs a little external force to promote it. The best way is to be able to To receive support from a real high-level civilization, of course, this requires a certain geographical advantage. For example, there is another high-level civilization in the same star system. Maybe this will happen, and you can get a high-level civilization. help, but obviously, the earth does not have such an advantage, the universe here is quite remote, even for predators like the Weirs, it is difficult to find the specific location of the earth, and they need to borrow a dimension device to come to the earth, so for the earth For me, this is a catastrophe, but it is also an opportunity.”

"Opportunity?"

Yang narrowed his eyes.

And Zhou Wen nodded and said.

"It's an opportunity, since it can't be avoided, let's use it." Zhou Wen spread his hands.

"Compared to human civilization, the Weir people are at least a high-level civilization, but the road is completely different. Our current level is far from enough to rely on our own development, so we must rely on the outside world. Although the Er people are predators, if we handle them well, we can also use them to achieve certain goals.”
