Zhang Yuan said softly: "So, the development process of this civilization is slightly different from that of human beings, but it is easy to understand. The abolition of slavery has always been determined by productivity, not by moral changes, or by a few wise people. Sir's appeal..."

"The economic base determines the superstructure. When it really hinders the progress of the times, it will be overthrown by the general trend. This should be the commonality between certain civilizations."

"For now, these small countries that retain slavery have basically not yet achieved industrialization, and slaves can still play a big role. This planet is too big, and transportation is inconvenient. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Other countries have no interest in governing these countries at all."

"Coupled with the inconvenient transportation, no satellites, and no big country to be the global policeman, it is simply thankless to criticize human rights."

"A planet is too big, so it may not be a good thing. There are more natural resources and a larger land area, but it is more troublesome to unify the mind. In this era, some countries are still in a state of disconnection. It's unimaginable."

A planet is too big, and there are indeed problems of one kind or another, and a large number of countries are in a state of old and dead. But this phenomenon also has more variables—that is, it is easier to create a spark of science.

Due to restrictions on the domestication of livestock and the lack of developed transportation, it is difficult for the country here to be like the country in the earth age, occupying millions of square kilometers at every turn. Because there is not enough communication guarantee, the country can easily lose control of its own borders, leading to division.

In the Middle Ages, the largest country once reached 3 million square kilometers. These countries only thought about aggression and plundering more slaves, and they declined because of their large territory.

This type of region fell into the curse of long-term dynastic reincarnation, with one dynasty overthrowing another, interspersed with slave uprisings, but no significant progress of any particular nature.

There are still some remote small areas that want to develop various technologies, especially in certain Mesopotamia basins with superior geographical conditions and fertile land. The large-scale use of water power has made these Taipu people more flexible in their thinking.

The invention of waterwheels and ships prompted Taipu people to think about the deeper nature of mechanics, which became the origin of modern civilization.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "Professor Luo, what about the religion of Taipu civilization? Didn't it bother the development too much?"

Professor Luo, standing on the stage, said: "The development of this civilization has not been troubled by religious factors too much, mainly because...most powerful countries advocate ancestor worship, not god worship."

Every country has risen from brutal primitive wars. Without brave and fearless ancestors, there would be no Taipu people today. Therefore, worshiping great ancestors also admits a very natural thing.

There is only one commanding height on the spiritual level. Since "ancestor worship" has taken the upper hand, it is difficult for god worship to catch up.

And the religious method of ancestor worship is also difficult to form a unified global religion.

If your ancestors are different from mine, you will naturally not believe in each other. If there are conflicts in history, such conflicts will be difficult to eliminate and turn into ethnic hatred.

"The way of worshiping the ancestors can't explain all the doubts, and it also hinders the development of science to a certain extent, but the spiritual shackles are undoubtedly much smaller than worshiping the gods... Some Taipu people think that the words of the ancestors are absolutely correct, not Violations are allowed, but there are also some Taipu people who feel that the ancestors are not necessarily correct, the dynasty will be overthrown, and nothing is absolute."

"...If religion does not have a strong enough political influence, it will be difficult to interfere with the normal development of society, but it can even promote it to a certain extent."

This kind of pure belief is easy to understand. It is equivalent to the human beings in Kunlun Mountains. They believe that they originated from the solar system and the earth. This is not a symbol of pure cultural meaning, but a symbol of spiritual value that includes blood, culture and other aspects at the spiritual level. .

The identification of one's own origin is an important factor for the cohesion of a civilization. If even the origin is different, why should we work hard for the same goal?

Just like the former Soviet Union, it is the country with the most ethnic groups and the most complicated problems in the world. In order to solve the national issue, the Soviet Union deliberately shaped the "Soviet people" and has been vigorously publicizing its achievements in nation-state construction.

However, when democratizing reforms and allowing the people to make choices, the republics put their own national and national interests above the overall interests of the Soviet Union, and the lack of national identity directly led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Practice has proved that the Soviet Union's practice of dividing administrative regions according to ethnic groups is not conducive to maintaining the unity of the country, and eventually became an important reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. 【1】

The human beings in the Kunlun Mountains don't have this problem. Everyone agrees that they originated from the earth. Under the impact of time, the various countries in the past have no sense of identity. Everyone agrees that they originated from the solar system, the earth, and this common starting point is enough.

"...but for countries where ancestor worship is deeply rooted, science and technology did not take the lead."

"On the contrary, it is a small country that rose from the ruins, took the lead in starting the industrial revolution, and became the most powerful country on this planet."

As for the reason, it is too complicated, and the Taipu civilization itself has a large number of social works, trying to explain this fact.

Some sociologists think that the thinking mode of "ancestor worship" hinders the progress of some big countries. In order to maintain social stability, the rulers will declare that "what the ancestors said is correct, and the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed." In this way, it is difficult for the "natural philosophy system" and "formal logic system and the discovery of causality through scientific experiments" with axioms as the core system to really appear.

Some sociologists have put forward the theory of "insufficient demand". These once powerful countries, through continuous foreign wars to obtain benefits, have fallen into a mindset.

Even if the dynasty is overthrown and another one is replaced, it is still the same ruling model, so naturally there is no thought to ponder the basic principles of technology.

The inconvenience of transportation has turned into a benefit. At most, there are more than 20,000 countries on this planet, and each country has its own philosophy. All kinds of difficulties, finally because there are enough countries in this world and the sample is large enough, small probability events have appeared.

"Science," appeared.
