Time And Space Trading: I Exchange A Bottle Of Water For Nuclear Fusion

Chapter 47 On How Humans Play Themselves To Death

What is the Age of Prosperity like?

At the end of autumn, a look of remembrance flashed across his face.

"It was a great era."

After a pause, she added:

"But it's also an era where we don't want to make progress."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Qiu Mo pondered for a moment:

"Let me tell you this, according to what you say about the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution here, it only took 80 years for our world to go from the first industrial revolution to the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion."

Su Yu:  …

Wait a minute, how long has it been since the first industrial revolution?

Almost two hundred and fifty years?

What's the matter here, nuclear fusion is still commercially available for 50 years!

"This...why is it so fast?"

The speed of this technological development is too outrageous.

"I don't know!" Qiu Mo shrugged:

"The secrets about that era have long been dusted by history. Why the technological development of that era was so fast has become an unsolved mystery. Many people in the era of prosperity tried to explore this secret, but in the end they found nothing."

"The most credible statement is that it has been in the flames of war for 80 years and has never stopped. Under the pressure of the arms race, technology can explode in just a few decades."

"Of course, this kind of statement is untenable. As a scientific researcher, I don't believe it. But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter anyway."

"It took us 80 years to go from the steam engine to nuclear fusion. It took us 210 years to launch the first satellite into space to invent the curvature engine. Then, we entered the era of prosperity."

"There are endless resources in space, and we also have advanced artificial intelligence technology, which is enough for everyone in Luoxia World to live a life without worrying about food and clothing."

"For most people in the prosperous era, ordinary work is unpaid, because work is not for making money, but a way to pass time."

"Of course, the Era of Prosperity is not just about lying down and waiting for relief funds. The Human Alliance will distribute a bionic robot to each newborn. These robots will replace them to work and create wealth, and they don't have anything. If they need to do it, they can receive the wages earned by the robot. If the robot breaks down, they still need to pay for repairs themselves.”

"As for the few jobs that pay wages, such as my kind of scientific research. Generally speaking, the working hours cannot exceed two hours a day. In terms of remuneration... it is calculated according to the purchasing power of your currency. A salary of around 200,000 RMB? Not right, the world is different, so it can’t be calculated like this, no one cared about it at that time, money is just a number.”

"People have a lot of time to enjoy Life, but since then, the technology of our world has almost come to a standstill. Prosperous era four Hundred Years, our greatest achievement is to make some upgrades on the basis of the original technology, no longer There's no major breakthrough."

Is this the era of prosperity?

Even Su Yu, who is already worth a lot of money, couldn't help yearning after hearing her description.

This is utopia!

"It's a pity that such a world is ruined like this." Su Yu couldn't help but shook his head.

"It's not as beautiful as you imagined." The corner of Qiu Mo's mouth twitched, showing a sarcastic arc:

"I'm afraid you can't even imagine the absurdity of the Prosperous Era."

"Those rich people with countless capitals like to do the most is to find a barren planet, invest a lot of resources into it meaninglessly, and even build an artificial sun in the orbit of the planet to turn it into a livable planet. Planet. Then use a large number of clones, and accompany them to play role-playing games of being emperors, and wantonly release the darkness in human nature. When you are not happy with the game, you can blow up that planet with a star destroyer and change the game. "

"They call this the planet development game, and it once became an entertainment activity that was sought after by everyone, rich or poor, in the prosperous era."

"Slowly, the poor began to be extremely dissatisfied and even indignant at the absurd life of the rich. Although the rich could not persecute the citizens of the People's Federation, nor could they harm their interests, they would still be dissatisfied. This kind of dissatisfaction The source of this probably comes from human beings' desire for comparison, and their appeal is: I hope the People's Federation will give every citizen a planet."

"Although the Prosperity Era has reached an unimaginable material level, this kind of request is something that the People's Federation cannot agree to anyway."

"Then at the end of the Prosperity Era, the rebel army appeared, and their slogan was to overthrow the tyranny of the People's Federation, oh, it's not just this one slogan. There are also slogans like 'war is the ladder of human progress, we need war' and so on .”

"Well, judging from the development of your world, this kind of thing is hard to understand, right?"

Su Yu:  …

After being dazed for a while, he finally realized the most critical part of Qiu Mo's words.

At the end of the Prosperity Era...the Rebels...

Gudong~!

He swallowed subconsciously, and looked at Qiu Mo in disbelief:

"Isn't that how you played the Prosperous Era into the current wasteland?"

If this is the case, it is too heaven-defying.

"If you have to say it, let it be." Qiu Mo nodded:

"In the process of exploring the star sea, the People's Federation will often encounter some planets with indigenous peoples, so it has always maintained a rather large fleet."

"Less than a month after the rebels appeared, they were completely defeated and pushed to the edge of the Galaxy..." At this point, Qiu Mo paused, and turned to look out the window at the blue sky in the morning:

"Then, the end came."

"They encountered aliens with more advanced technology than yours?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows.

Judging from the era of prosperity she described, apart from encountering aliens and being hit by dimensionality reduction, Su Yu really couldn't figure out what would make them become what they are now.

"It can't be called an alien, it can only be regarded as an alien creature beyond our understanding, a kind of fungus!"

Qiumo simply explained:

"This kind of fungus can parasitize in the human body, manipulate people's thinking, absorb people's memories, and turn people into monsters."

"The Ninth Fleet of the Galaxy, one of the most powerful fleets of the People's Federation, was chasing those rebels. They captured the rebels and wanted to bring them back for trial, and then the entire fleet was silently killed by this The fungus is under control."

"Then, these fungi spread like a plague in the sea of ​​stars. By the time the Renlian found them, they had already controlled most of the Renren's fleet."

"The war lasted only two years, and the invincible People's Federation of the entire Galaxy was destroyed in the hands of this little fungus. Don't you think it's unbelievable? Reality is so absurd sometimes." Qiu Mo shrugged:

"In fact, the People's Federation has a complete set of procedures for exploring new planets. If you follow the procedures, these weak and weird fungi will never have this kind of opportunity. It's just that the Ninth Fleet skipped these procedures in the process of hunting down the rebels. .”

"The final result is that in order to deal with this fungus, we have researched a lot of genetic weapons and biological weapons. In the end, we eliminated some of the fungi and kept the mother planet, but the monsters we developed were more terrifying than the fungus, polluting Our entire home planet, and then the Wasteland Era."
