Deep Space Fleet
Chapter 238: Technological stagnation
As time passed, the successor consuls of "Gol City" also began to have a headache. A larger population has great benefits, but if the management cannot keep up, it will become a hidden danger.
Any large-scale project, such as aqueducts, or marble mining, to open up a larger underground living space, will last a hundred or even five hundred years!
Even if the Gliese people have a long lifespan and work efficiency is not very good, these projects are too slow, which leads to increasing dissatisfaction among the people.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, no matter how powerful the consul is, it is impossible to change this chaotic result.
The root cause is work and rest!
More and more Gliese people realize that Gando's idea of "planning his schedule" is actually correct. But the opposition is still strong. There are many stubborn Gliese people who believe that dormancy is their own freedom, and this freedom should not be deprived.
Since it is not advisable to enforce mandatory schedules, in order to solve the problem of chaotic dormancy, the smart consuls have come up with more ways to "save the country with curves". Time to start school, in order to indirectly guide the public to sleep.
But this kind of guidance is really too slow, and it has only had preliminary results after thousands of years.
This confusion lasted until the birth of another "Kan" wise man, whose ideas were similar to those of Gando: Gliese people are too lazy and idle, and there is generally no pressure in life, so where is the motivation to rise?
It believes that in the past, the ideas of high-ranking executives and ordinary people were separated. For many people, science, including mathematics, is just an elegant "art". It's a big deal, at least it's impossible to affect my life...
"Elegant arts" such as science and mathematics, in the eyes of the Consul, are pure spring and white snow, and only a few intelligent people can understand the beauty in them. And smart people are generally high-level.
But ordinary people are not interested in this kind of "elegant art". They prefer popular arts such as dramas, novels, songs and dances, so it is impossible to change their routines because of learning "elegant art".
Kahn is a descendant of a businessman, and he is very sensitive to the economy by nature. He knows what the life of ordinary people is like.
What do ordinary people like?
money!
face!
Beautiful opposite sex!
And...a higher status!
It soon promulgated a whole set of economic policies in an attempt to better promote commerce, and in particular created large collectively owned handicraft factories in which people were necessarily on and off at the same time.
At the same time, the opening policy of the market has been standardized, and there will be certain tax incentives on certain specific days.
People who follow a regular schedule will have more opportunities to acquire wealth; individuals who want to sleep as they please, stagger group activities, have fewer opportunities to acquire wealth, and gradually become impoverished.
Gliese people, like human beings, yearn for a better life. If the waking period is completely staggered with the main force, then life will undoubtedly be more troublesome.
free sleep? No problem, as long as you can live with poverty.
Stimulated by such economic interests, more and more Gliese people began to go dormant in unison as the years passed year after year...
Unified work and rest habits finally...
formed.
The whole process took nearly ten thousand years!
A serious country, even if it is only the size of a city, has huge advantages over scattered tribes, both in terms of system and population size.
The host on the stage said sonorously: "At this moment, the idle Gliese civilization has finally ushered in its own period of rapid growth!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan always felt that the history of the entire civilization was very strange. The Gliese people in that period had a level of knowledge equivalent to that of human civilization in the 18th and 19th centuries. They began to explore the threshold of chemistry and physics, but it turned out that they had just founded the country !
It took tens of thousands of years to solve the problem of unified dormancy, and he didn't know what to say.
"To say they are stupid is not stupid, and to say they are smart is definitely not smart."
"Hey, when we look at primitive humans, we are also ignorant and uncivilized."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, more Gliese people discovered that the primitive life, which was relatively satisfactory before, actually had more room for improvement, for example, more exquisite food, more interesting entertainment methods, more comfortable living places and so on.
The original caves where they lived were prone to landslides. It is not known how many Gliese people were buried alive because of cave collapses.
But now, the underground city of Goer City has been uniformly planned by architects and reinforced with marble, which is comfortable and safe.
Moreover, after unifying the work schedule, many group jobs are indeed much more convenient, especially some large-scale projects, which were unimaginable in the past.
Where there are interests, there will be a driving force. After seeing the benefits, countries follow suit and appear in narrow living belts.
It is not so much a country as a "city-state" gathered by a large number of people.
The Gliese people, who are naturally idle, have low reproductive capacity and do not like too much restraint. They generally adopt a "democratic system" evolved from the primitive system. The citizens' assembly is the highest authority, and the leaders are voted by the people to manage these city-states.
There is also a high level of competition between city-states. Smart people will naturally know which city is better, which city has a clear political outlook, has room for improvement, which city has a more comfortable climate to live in, which city is the capital of art, etc...
In this situation, the population will naturally migrate to better cities.
Where there is competition, there is an upward momentum. One wise man after another appeared on this planet, began to improve the system and law, and proposed a higher level of morality.
And scientists are trying to reproduce the miracle brought by the "enlightenment", constantly exploring nature, mastering the laws, and trying to improve the productivity of the entire civilization...
It seems that the entire civilization seems to be thriving, with a high level of intelligence and a qualified ideology, it should soon break through the atmosphere and walk out of its own planet!
But unfortunately...
A fatal flaw has appeared!
The oxygen content of this planet is very low, almost no.
There is no oxidant, which means that there is no natural combustion phenomenon, and without combustion, the development of various industries is extremely difficult. The Gliese people can only control a small amount of simple natural resources such as wind power and water power. For example, dig a wind tunnel, and then use wood fiber plants to make a windmill in it; make waterwheels near some underground rivers...
However, these energy sources are unstable, not easy to control, and cannot really advance the times. They urgently need a more powerful energy source.
Fortunately, the Gliese already knew the existence of electricity, and they knew that the lightning in the sky could be used. With some enlightenment given by the "enlightenment", it is possible to jump directly from the Stone Age to the Electric Age, even if...
This step is very, very difficult.
But what is regrettable is that this group of Gliese people have not taken this crucial step for a full 150,000 years.
Until...the arrival of the second aliens...
