The Uncle in the Universe

The stagnation of science and technology has made the productivity of the Gliese people only develop to a large-scale handicraft industry. There are some preliminary machinery, but they are limited to this. But what some mathematicians think about is the moonlight of the demon group. There is nothing more comical or tragic than advanced mathematics.

It has to be mentioned that the entire civilization has undergone deeper social changes over the long years—

including the birth of dictatorships and oligarchy systems!

In the ancient times before the country was established, the Gliese people did not have a strong sense of territory. Anyway, eating a little weeds on the roadside can fill their stomachs.

But when times have changed, a large number of people have settled down, and there is no longer a large-scale migration, the land that can produce food is a precious wealth. They developed arable agriculture, which allowed more food to be produced per unit of land.

However, on this planet, the Gliese people are already the largest and most powerful creatures, and it is impossible for them to have working animals like cattle and horses like humans, so all pear soil farming needs to be done by themselves.

Working on the surface of the planet for a long time not only has to bear the huge risk of being blown away by typhoons, but also overwork will damage health and shorten life expectancy.

Because of the difference in individual abilities, exploitation and exploitation are born naturally, and capitalists are always the greatest enemy of a civilization.

Fortunately, the capital contradiction on this planet is not as good as that of human beings. If it is impossible, they will go to other places to live alone and eat some weeds on the roadside. There is no risk of starving to death. They are not like human beings, who cannot survive without society. But most Gliese people are unwilling to leave the city unless they have to.

Gliese people have a very long lifespan. If they are properly maintained, they can survive for five hundred or even one thousand years without major diseases. Certain intelligent individuals have accumulated wealth over a long period of time and formed big landlords with huge wealth. .

Rich people need population, especially cheap labor to maintain their social status. They don't like the innately formed "public support system", but instead want to try to raise their own children so that they can inherit their huge wealth. Otherwise, what's the point of accumulating such wealth?

Finally, under the instigation of interests, a group of rich people launched a coup d'état. In some cities, they overthrew the democratic regime, established an oligarchy, and tried to give birth to slavery.

But this kind of oligarchy has only lasted for a few years as a whole, because the social public support system inherent in this civilization has been deeply rooted, and the oligarchs have appeared, so what?

Residents in the city began to run away in large numbers and migrated to other cities. Even the soldiers started running.

Other city-states were also shocked by the emergence of this dictatorship, and even... the appearance of slaves subverted the imagination of the consul in Gore.

This story is just a small episode in the long night. The repeated political evolution, oligarchy and dictatorship, have appeared many times, like drops of small waves in the long river of history.

But if science does not develop, it can only stay in the Stone Age.

No amount of evolution of the regimes of the Stone Age would change their true nature. History is zigzagging and spiraling, but when history encounters huge obstacles, it will also stagnate.

Ten thousand years have passed.

Twenty thousand years have passed.

Fifty thousand years have passed.

Fifteen thousand years have passed like this...

The darling of a planet has been unable to develop its own technology for a long time, and even knows it exists, but cannot find a way to advance.

Until now, 50,000 years ago, the Gliese civilization finally ushered in the second interstellar civilization

...

The whole story ends here. The Gliese civilization still has a certain degree of vigilance in the face of human beings. It is impossible to tell everything completely. The diplomats only found out these long-term historical information.

The following story has not been investigated clearly, and there is only a vague outline.

"That is to say... after the arrival of the second interstellar civilization, it directly helped them leapfrog to the era of electric power and enter the stage of regular high-speed development. It should be like this?" Captain Zhao said while sitting on the stage.

"However, 50,000 years have passed. After a period of rapid development, this civilization still has not escaped its mediocre fate and fell into a quagmire. In the end, it encountered us again... Do they want our help?

" So the so-called deal was proposed? So, what is the content of the deal?"

Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say, did these guys really think they were the masters of the universe?

If you meet any interstellar civilization, they are all friendly, and you still want to ask for help?

The new civilization is still in a state of being overwhelmed so far, how can there be leisure and elegance to help them!

"It should be said... Are they too lucky or too bad luck?"

Many people around whispered, and some even couldn't help laughing.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally Captain Zhao said: "In short, if this period of history is true, then for the time being, it can be considered that this Gliese civilization has relatively little ideology about war, and its social organization ability is also relatively poor. No Like us, we can implement a planned economy, have a strong administrative system and mobilization ability. This mobilization ability itself is a manifestation of cohesive vitality." "There are not many wars

breaking out in them, unlike us humans, wars More than peace."

"Plus, having been helped by two civilizations, we are not too wary of alien civilizations... We do have the possibility of peaceful coexistence with them."

"So next, do we need to adjust the current production strategy and... accept the other party's transaction negotiations?"

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said: "The current production projects are mainly focused on the development of nuclear weapons and electromagnetic guns. The squeeze of other projects is really serious. I think that there is no need to continue with a certain amount of weapons inventory and self-protection." Another senior official of the Ministry of Industry also raised his hand and said: "Indeed.

Now The quality of life of the people has regressed to the stage of hibernation, and even though the dissatisfaction of the people is not high, I don't think it is necessary to compress the emotions to the limit." Various discussions lasted for about half a day.

Just because of a survey report, it is impossible for human beings to cut off all the weapon production lines, but it is really no problem to cut some of them.

Immediately after the second part, it is about trading issues. Helping rebuild a civilization is no small matter, and it may take decades, or even hundreds of years.

There is neither love nor hatred for no reason in the world, and the transactions between civilizations have always been linked by interests. If there is a win-win cooperation, then of course there is no problem in the transaction. If one party suffers or loses together, there will be no motivation for cooperation.

What's more, the current productivity of human beings is not high, and there are many problems of their own that have not been resolved.

"Therefore, there must be some profit to facilitate this transaction."
