Chapter 242
I have to say that the average intelligence of Gliese people seems to be slightly higher than that of humans. Under the influence of a specific environment, their brains have evolved to be more refined, energy-saving, and efficient.
Almost every individual has a strong sense of number and perception ability, and is a natural artist.
Biological brains, like various types of CPUs and GPUs, have similar functions, but the structure and frequency are different, and there will always be performance divided into high and low.
Biological evolution does not have a certain established goal of evolution, just to be able to survive better, which means that the birth of wisdom has always been an accident. Moreover, evolution is a Road of No Return, which can only be repaired and cannot be overturned.
Thus, whoever makes fewer mistakes on this Road of No Return has a better brain.
It’s a pity that, because of some evolutionary influences, coupled with a life mode without any pressure to survive, even if the Gliese people have smart minds, they don’t spend their energy on seriousness. Scientific research above.
The long Far Ancient Era, they have been addicted to all kinds of weird arts, including painting, music, sculpture, and religious culture...
This civilization has no ambition to explore nature at all. Individuals who want to see the stars are all ruthlessly eliminated by the typhoon that is born every moment.
The vast universe is called "dwelling place of the devil" by some primordial religions. The Gliese people of Far Ancient Era believe that the devil brings endless gusts. Only Mother Earth is A warm and safe harbor.
Under the influence of this culture, almost all individuals like to hide under the ground and enjoy a peaceful day.
A Professor of History of New Civilizations is on the stage interpreting the investigation report sent by Junpeng Wang and the others. This report describes the days of the Gliese Civilization Far Ancient Era in considerable detail.
"...Compared with the life of the ancient apes, their life is too superior. Even to the extreme!"
"Already at the top of the planet food chain, except for natural disasters In addition, there are not too many natural enemies, plus the clans-based tribal life, as long as there is no major natural and man-made disasters, there will be too great an existential crisis."
"Okay, In this case, I think the probability of getting out of the comfort zone is very low."
In addition, the reproductive ability of this group of guys is not high. At night, just consider multiplying, or eating and drinking merrily.
There are even some smart individuals who realize that as long as they don’t have too many people born and eat up all the surrounding food, they can stay in one place forever, even things like migration. Omit it!
So, in Far Ancient Era, these guys started to control the population spontaneously in order to pursue a better quality of life. Anyway, children are all oviparous and raised by all individuals. It seems that there is nothing to be born at the worst if you have a few more and a few fewer. As long as you don’t wipe out the entire tribe...
However, Life as a unit of tribe always has some trading needs, especially... the need for gene transmission.
Inbreeding can cause a variety of genetic defects, so genes give them a natural instinct to love the new and dislike the old. Females in the same tribe will always look very tired if they watch too much, while members of other tribes It is different, it is easier to bring about the desire to reproduce.
In this case, a very peculiar profession was born... Bard!
In ancient times and the Middle Ages, the bard has always been the most desirable and elegant profession.
These brave bards have the ability to distinguish the weather in one hand. They can spread various arts and trade between various tribes. For them, they are more critical and attractive. The thing is to spread genes.
Reproduction activities can bring pleasure.
The spread of genes in this remote area invisibly reduced the probability of inbreeding...
So a completely stable primordial civilization was formed.
The birth of science is not an inevitable event of civilization. It requires a more demanding environment and a more rigorous ideology. The Gliese civilization, who is addicted to various entertainment arts, has a very low probability of giving birth to science.
Time is like this day by day...
Year after year...
Ten thousand years and ten thousand years have passed...
This ignorant and carefree era has continued...
Continued...
Until 200,000 years ago, an advanced scientific research spaceship Passing here, broke the deadlock of Gliese civilization.
The alien civilization discovered that this intelligent race that has given birth to language, writing, currency, various religions, and even excellent art and culture, has stayed in the most primitive tribe stage for a long time, and even the country has not been established. .
I am even more surprised that their smart brains have not yet been born with natural science to improve their living environment.
This extraterrestrial civilization, respected as the "Enlightener", may feel that this race has been ignorant and a little wasteful.
So took some measures and opened a new chapter in Gliese civilization!
What did the "initiator" actually do, and how did they think about it? Because the age is too old, it is really impossible to verify it. There are almost 10,000 opinions about various historical materials of unknown origin. But one thing is similar. According to the documentation of various clans, the stay of this alien civilization should be very short, no more than 2 months.
It was these two months that brought the changes of Heaven and Earth turning upside down to the Gliese civilization!
First of all, the first point is that a large number of primordial religions that hindered social development have all disappeared!
The so-called "demon residence", unexpectedly appeared a Spiritual God-like civilization... Various weird magical creations are called "science", of course all lies are self-defeating .
This kind of power derived from science can even overcome natural disasters!
It's simply...unimaginable.
The second point is that mathematics and natural science have become “arts” of the highest level under this cult of “power” in nature.
A large number of Gliese people are elegant in learning these difficult knowledge.
Just like that, the "initiators" stayed for a short period of time, and a storm-like thought change appeared on the long and narrow residential belt, and the bards were ecstatically carrying new ideas and spreading To each place of residence.
The residences began to cross-spread with each other again, and "the beauty of mathematics and natural sciences" began to prevail. Everyone was studying circles, ellipses, conic sections, the principle of leverage, buoyancy...
This newly opened era is called Middle Ancient era!
