The same is true for the entire Tap Star. Although human beings and Taipu people are different species, the logic at the bottom is still driven by interests. The behavioral logic of Taipu civilization is not difficult for humans to understand.

Looking at this planet, although there are some large livestock that can be domesticated, due to the evolution of high gravity, these livestock are not physically strong.

They can run fast in short periods of time, but are not good at long-term labor.

An animal called 'membrane' is a large creature that is very suitable for domestication, but it can only cultivate 1 mu of land a day at most, but a human cow can cultivate 3 mu of land. The two species ate similar amounts of food, which is the difference brought about by the high-gravity environment.

In a high-gravity environment, short-term bursts are far more important than endurance. If the 'membrane' is allowed to plow the land every day without rest, it will soon get sick and fall down.

It takes several years to raise a head membrane from childhood to adulthood, and it is impossible to let it work until it dies.

Even the Taipu people themselves are the same. It is difficult for them to adapt to the physical labor of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. They often have to rest for one day after working. In this way, it becomes even more difficult to farm the land honestly.

Without the real birth of farming culture, the Taipu people in ancient times could only focus on hunting, gathering, and nomadic herding. Such food sources were not stable enough to gather a large population, and it was difficult to form a real country.

"Therefore, a large amount of archaeological evidence believes that the Taipu civilization lingered in the Stone Age for at least a million years or more."

There was another discussion in the meeting room, that is to say, if the enlightener civilization really visited this planet, they would face a civilization that had been in the tribal age for a long time and could not produce farming culture. There is no way to make progress because of the objective environment.

"So, what will the enlightener do?" Zhang Yuan asked with great interest.

Li Zhendong said: "If it were me, I might modify the genes of native species and modify a creature that can be cultivated."

"Your thoughts are unnatural. Such creatures are difficult to adapt to the local environment and will soon become extinct. In such a high-gravity environment, how can there be a species with strong explosive power and strong endurance? If there is such a species , it has long been the so-called Superman."

Obviously, in the subsequent development, no such genetically modified organisms appeared.

Or maybe, the enlightener believes that such wandering is normal, and one day, they will break through that barrier.

"Higher-level civilizations do not only focus on the current time period. Enlightenment civilizations may not care about millions of wandering, because wandering does not mean a complete stop."

Pictures on the big screen continue to describe the next history.

Since the population that can be supported by a unit of land area is limited, conflicts between tribes and wars over territory naturally erupted extremely frequently. Especially after the development of animal husbandry, the fertile grassland has become a battleground for military strategists. Since you are too lazy to cultivate land, you can raise livestock, which is much easier than farming!

Many civilizations, at the most primitive stage, always have such a thing in common. In other words, species that truly uphold truth, goodness and beauty were wiped out as early as in the primitive period.

But this kind of competition in ancient times is not meaningless. The tribe that can win must have its superiority, perhaps in terms of system, or perhaps in terms of wisdom and force.

In long-term practice, as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, these tribes that can exist for a long time will always have some experience handed down and make a little bit of progress, such as medicine, agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts...

Progress through experience is slow but effective.

Finally one day, some victors of the Taipu civilization gradually discovered that it was far more cost-effective to demote the captives of the enemy tribes into slaves than to kill them. Slaves mean scarce labor, even if they die, they don't feel bad, just... they can be used for farming!

Thus, the most basic idea of ​​slavery... was formed in this way!

The archaeologists of the Thai Pu civilization once discovered pictographs 22,000 years ago in an ancient ruin named "North", and thus identified the initial wisdom of the entire civilization.

These hieroglyphs recorded a tribal victory that occurred at that time, and also recorded the slavery system at that time. In order to survive, the defeated prostrate on the ground, voluntarily become slaves, and have been slaves for generations, while the victors of the tribe are frantically selecting slaves.

In a certain period of time, the formation of classes can indeed promote the development of civilization.

It is true that the Taipu people are not good at long-term physical labor, but it is not a big problem for slaves.

Slaves have no human rights. As long as they can produce more food, so what if they die from exhaustion?

This slave tribe, which gave birth to a new system, became more and more powerful. It continued to expand its territory, conquered one primitive tribe after another, and finally formed a unified country, creating an unprecedented prosperity...

"North" is also the first real country on the planet!

The expert standing on the podium commented: "...the so-called prosperous age is based on the labor and life of a large number of slaves. It is impossible to feed all the population by animal husbandry alone. It must rely on real agriculture. This kind of Long-term cultivation can only be done by slaves, and a kind of livestock called 'membrane'..."

"Because the physical structure of the Taipu people is not suitable for endurance labor, the average life span of slaves is often less than 30 years old. As long as there is a little disease, they can take their lives."

"But we cannot deny that this cruel and harsh system has promoted the progress of the entire civilization. Without the dedication of slaves, there would be no current Taipu civilization."

As the slides played one after another, Zhang Yuan was also shaken...

Indeed, if there were no slavery and no class distinctions, the Taipu people with congenital physical defects could only form small tribes with clans as units.

Without forming a real country and gathering a large number of people, it is difficult for a civilization to truly progress.

Slavery, definitely deserves credit.

The entire slave age lasted for a long, long time, and then slowly entered the Bronze Age, and even the Iron Age. The tools of labor have gradually changed, making the efficiency of cultivated land gradually improved. But the slavery system has never been abolished, and even up to now, some small countries on Tapstar still retain this tradition.

"So, is there any credit for the enlightener's civilization here?"

Of course not, because the timing is not right, the rise of the Taipu people was 22,000 years ago, not 150,000 years ago. Their ideas were miscalculated. Civilization has its own resilience. In the whole process, even if there is no external force, it can still develop slowly.

Moreover, the help of the enlightener's civilization is usually very subtle to change the unfavorable objective environment, rather than to guide a low-level civilization to implement a certain social system. Therefore, the emergence of this slavery society is most likely the natural evolution of the entire civilization.
