Chapter 257
For many industries, knowing that there is such a thing is completely different from the actual production.
& lt;p>The theory of the atomic bomb is known to high school students, isn’t it just a chain reaction? But if you want to actually produce a nuclear bomb, the difficulty is not known how many orders of magnitude higher.The core theory of silicon-based chips is "energy band theory", an approximate theory that can be learned by undergraduates. But how to use this theory to make real chips requires a lot of exploration and experimentation, and a lot of economic experimentation.
From millimeters, micrometers, to nanometers, it requires countless investments, talents, and countless failures, but these failures have laid a solid foundation for future development.
Now it's fine, I have directly obtained the ready-made products, and it is a technological product of the Level 2 civilization of the universe!
The level 2 civilization of the universe, even if the Gliese civilization develops on its own for tens of thousands of years, it may not be able to surpass it!
So, it is not easy to understand these technologies. Naturally, it is also impossible that some people are willing to increase investment and challenge alien technologies. Even the talent pool in this area is scarce.
Without enough exploration, it will be difficult for the Gliese civilization to develop its own high-tech industrial system.
In addition, all industrial standards are designed by alien civilizations. For many standards, reverse engineering is too difficult. Gliese people don’t know why they are designed like this. It’s just Copy it up as it is.
Of course, from a practical point of view, there is no problem with alien technology. The science and technology in the database is not deceptive, from the most basic steam revolution, to the internal combustion engine, to the electrification age and the information age.
Because Gliese 581g does not have any oxygen, they cannot even completely imitate the technology products inside. Therefore, the main work of scientific researchers all day long is to find products suitable for their own civilization in the database. Naturally, there are very few innovations about their own civilization...
This kind of invisible suppression is the whole Civilization, one's own suppression of oneself, but in the game, enjoying the rapid progress of science and technology, how can it escape?
Only by looking back and analyzing the entire history, will we discover this shortcoming.
Naturally, over time, from the ideological level, Gliese people have an unreserved trust in alien technology.
Aristocratic aristocrats buy high-end goods directly produced by the universal factory, and ordinary people buy goods in the database, and only beggar will buy goods researched by their own ethnic group.
Scientists once put forward the idea of satellites, but in the end they became a laughing stock!
Because the universal factory did not have this technology, it turned out to be considered a fantasy story, and it was ridiculed by peers, let alone no one to invest... The scientist was so ashamed that he almost hanged himself.
"Under the influence of this ideology, it is even more difficult to create an industry that belongs to your own civilization."
An oligarch composed of a group of warlords is simply impossible. Vision and broad-mindedness, to use the "universal factory" to promote the entire era. As long as they keep their power and wealth, it is enough.
But what can be done?
Simply impossible Someone can overthrow this regime through violence...
The advanced and huge productivity of the Universal Factory has almost killed all the possibilities of change!
……
With the ebbing of time, the output of the universal factory is still accumulating, and the times are still progressing continuously. When social resources accumulate to a certain extent, basically everyone can get rid of the life of the Stone Age and enjoy the conveniences, but it is more or less, poverty or wealth...
A set of industrial system with universal factory as the core is gradually born in this planet.
Different from the science and technology tree of normal civilization, this industrial system is quite deformed. High-end industry, mid-end, and low-end are entirely different. The high-end is always the high-end, and the low-end is always the low-end. The national innovation industry only engages in low-end manufacturing and only serves the production of universal factories.
Zhang Yuan heard this, lightly sighed. He deeply knew that this ideology was not good for the development of the entire civilization.
Because the Xia Country once had such a strange history, the people at that time blindly believed that all the industries in their country were garbage, and the moon of the world outside seemed to be more rounded. Once this strange concept is formed, it is really difficult to change.
Gliese civilization is even more, their hidden rival, but a Level 2 cosmic civilization! Capital is profit-seeking, without any capital, willing to challenge the universal factory. Even the national level is no exception, because the challenge is simply impossible.
Even...this kind of fawning thought still affects them so far, so that the Gliese people instinctively believe that all alien civilizations are very powerful, advanced, and moral.
"That's why this civilization can more easily reach a peace treaty with humans, even if the current humans are not strong at all. The truth occupies the light of the second interstellar civilization!" Zhang Yuan vaguely understood.
Let the topic come back...
As high-end industries are always dominated by universal factories, the profits of overwhelming majority will inevitably be captured by oligarchs who own universal factories.
The tendency of intelligent life to chase benefits is innate. Under the influence of power politics, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the corrosion of money, the entire society is slowly leaning towards money worship and bureaucracy in order to curry favor with those rich and powerful.
Some people of insight once called for resistance to this trend of thought, but these appeals seemed so weak in front of the entire era...
When we talked about this, Zhang Yuan was silent for a while , Asked: "So...what about Goer City?"
"The political structure of Goer City is indeed different from other cities, but if the whole world is like this, it will naturally be difficult to resist this. This trend of thought is just a more or less problem."
Zhang Yuan asked again: "In other words, do you think all evils are brought by the universal factory?"
>"No."
Gan Yaduo shook the head: "Technology is sinless... the sin is the entire civilization itself. If there is no universal factory, we are still living in the primordial stone age, which There are good days like this."
"The whole society is still developing, and the technological competition between cities is fierce. Even if there are problems like this, it is not the evil of the universal factory in the final analysis."
No, it's not right.
Zhang Yuan always feels something is wrong: "So, the second interstellar civilization, will this be expected?"
"Transaction is a win-win way for both parties. We do not We are not forced to the other party. Everything is our own choice... Even if the other party expected it, so what? I can’t blame the other party, right?"
Zhang Yuan frowns, I don’t know how to reply.
How to say...
With the advancement of science and technology, people's lives have evolved from the Stone Age to the electrified age, transportation has become more convenient, and new changes have taken place in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It seems that the entire civilization has improved a lot.
But on the other hand, its development potential has unconsciously reduced a lot. It's like a little child who spoil things through excessive enthusiasm after auxin injection, grows quite high, but adds osteoporosis, obesity and other difficult-to-curable problems. Until these problems are solved, it is hard to say that it is a normal civilization.
The so-called gains and losses, it is really difficult to describe from the perspective of human perception alone, whether the Gliese civilization has changed for a long time in the history of "good" or changed" It’s broken.
Measuring the "good" and "bad" of a civilization is an important part of the historiography of the new civilization. Various messy and complex functions try to quantify the people's ideology, life happiness, scientific and technological strength, social organization ability, future development potential, degree of corruption, etc., to obtain a specific value.
Zhang Yuan has no way to consider the Gliese civilization for the time being, because these historical processes are still too vague. If they are only described, they are completely inaccurate.
