"Why do the names of these ancient civilizations sound so familiar?"

Li Yao was stunned again, "especially the" Chinese civilization "

He could not think more, but the picture in his mind was moving forward at the speed of crossing hundreds of years or even thousands of years every second.

Splendid palaces rise and collapse again and again, and the towering city is annihilated in the tide of war. In the East, people build a magnificent water conservancy system and the Great Wall to resist the invasion of floods and beasts. In the west, people drive narrow and simple boats, chopping waves and galloping the ocean.

Greece, Rome, Persia, the five tyrants of the spring and Autumn period, the seven heroes of the Warring States period... More tribes, nations and countries have emerged, creating a more brilliant civilization. They are constantly divided and unified. History rises in a spiral, advances in twists and turns, and blooms in the dark.

Li Yao became more and more familiar with it. He felt more and more that he had read a similar history somewhere - by the way, in a strange dream, that is, on the earth at the core of Hongchao!

Although as like as two peas in the history of the earth, some names and place names are different, including some important historical events, but the general development is exactly the same as the same earth's different versions.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Yao was completely confused. He didn't know how many earths and histories there were, or that there were countless earths and repeated histories - that is, the so-called "reincarnation"!

With the emergence of the concept of "era" in the sea of knowledge, everything is fleeting.

The ancient armor was riddled with holes by the cutting-edge guns, and the darkness and ignorance of the middle ages were smashed by the enlightenment and the Renaissance. While the eastern continent was still sinking in the mud of historical periodicity, a peerless strongman named watt emerged in the western world, bringing together a large number of predecessors' Technology and wisdom, The improvement completed the first generation of civilization treasure "steam engine" in the true sense!

The appearance of steam engine made Yuanshi civilization stride into the first industrial revolution.

From this moment on, Yuanshi civilization is only one step away from the sea of stars.

But

"Wait, wait!"

Li Yao suddenly found something very strange and strange.

It seems very unreasonable, but he ignored it because he was right under his nose. "Is this really the early development of your primitive civilization? Why don't I see any trace of" psionic power "

"Yes."

The voice said, "our home planet is very lucky. It is in a" psychic void "or" inanimate space ". In our early evolution, it was not affected by psychics. At that time, we called the most powerful force" technology. "

"Very... Lucky?"

It's hard for Li Yaoyi to understand, "you regard being born in" inanimate space "as a kind of luck. Why?"

"With your wisdom, the answer to this question can be deduced by yourself."

The voice said, "for any kind of primitive civilization that develops from scratch, it's very lucky to be born in" inanimate space ". Only when such a civilization has the ability to fly out of its parent star can it grow into a real star sea overlord, including almost all the strong enemies that our primitive civilization encountered in the process of conquering the star sea a long time later, The mother stars are all in the inanimate space. On the contrary, those civilizations whose mother stars are in the psychic abundant environment and have a smooth journey to the peak, no matter how strong the individual is, they are weak and vulnerable. "

"This..."

Li Yaoshen thought about it.

Psionic power is the purest and most stable form of energy. Although it is not as powerful as serene power, its comprehensive utilization efficiency is definitely higher than serene power, and its application scope is also wider. Why is it unfortunate to have psionic power, and lucky to be lack of psionic power?

Li Yao's heart moved, and he remembered that in the test just now, he once incarnated in archaea, inhabited near the submarine volcano, and lived on the thermal energy of volcano and the chemical energy of magma.

For a small ancient fungus or even the whole fungus blanket, the thermal and chemical energy of magma is almost inexhaustible. If it is only satisfied with the form of ancient fungus, it can almost always surround the submarine volcano and survive all the time.

But what is the meaning of such a life?

Similarly, Li Yao thought of the earth in his memory, including the home planet of the original civilization, which is surrounded by the equator, and there are many tropical races.

These tropical races are born to enjoy rich land and endless crops. They are free from the pain of severe cold, the threat of fierce animals' biting, and the problem of food shortage. It can be said that they are born to sit in a cornucopia and catch whatever they want, even without reaching out, Directly from the tree will fall a variety of fruits rich in starch and nutrients for them to enjoy.

As a result, the wisdom of these tropical races has not been developed at all, but they indulge in endless vulgar tastes and animal instincts. When their counterparts in the temperate and frigid zones cut through the thorns, fight against heaven and earth, and make rapid progress in the bitter struggle and harsh elimination, tropical civilization has always stagnated at a very low level.

Not long ago, Li yaocai said to himself, how could he forget so soon?

"I see!"

"If a planet is in the realm of power enrichment, the existence of intelligent life there will be too easy, too simple, not enough to develop excellent intelligence and complex social forms, or even lack the demand for effective communication with the same kind - which is the foundation of a civilization!

"A world rich in psionic power is like a tropical one with abundant resources, and a world deficient in psionic power is like a temperate zone and a frigid zone with harsh environment. The former is doomed to fail to cultivate a strong civilization, while the latter is the real hotbed of a great civilization!"

"You're right."

The voice said, "the so-called" civilization "is the sum of humanistic spirit, invention and creation, public order and good customs, which has been precipitated from history and is beneficial to enhancing the adaptability and cognition of intelligent life to the objective world, conforming to the spiritual pursuit of intelligent life and can be recognized and accepted by the vast majority of people.

"Civilization is a collection of all social and natural behaviors that free intelligent life from barbarism. These collections include at least the following elements: family concept, tools, language, writing, belief, religious concept, law, city-state and state.

"To produce all the elements, there is a basic premise, that is, the relative equality between people.

"Only monkeys and monkeys, or ants and ants, can communicate with each other, construct society, language, law, belief, and so on, and finally create a great civilization. Between monkeys and ants, there is no way to produce society, let alone civilization.

"Psionic power, an extremely special and valuable energy, has the function of stimulating cells, activating individual strength and greatly increasing individual differences. In a world without psionic power, the individual differences of carbon based intelligent life are mostly limited. Even if the overlord who once conquered a whole continent, slaughtered millions of enemies and established great martial arts, he may be killed by a beggar with a sharp blade, This is "relative equality" or "relative inequality". When a man is angry, he will take five steps to get close to the enemy. This is the foundation of building a great civilization.

"However, on those planets that naturally have rich psionic powers, carbon based life has long learned to absorb the sun, essence and moon, devour the natural resources and treasures, and evolve and mutate crazily. Even if an intelligent race is finally born, each individual in the race is so different that the weak can hardly pose any threat to the strong.

"When a million weak people gather together, they will not be able to pose a threat to a strong one. Such a society will certainly be deformed, and civilization will certainly be weak. Even the strong people have no need to promote civilization, and the weak people will not be able to stimulate their desire for exploration and creativity. They will not be forced to do nothing like people in the inanimate world, We must find ways to explore new technologies, establish new public order, good customs and social laws - in such a world, the law of the jungle is the only law, and any technology and ideas that may weaken the power will be stifled in infancy.

"On the road of conquering the sea of stars, our original civilization once encountered countless civilizations developed from planets with abundant powers. All of these civilizations, without exception, did not cross their own galaxy or even their own planet. Although some of them had strong individual combat power, the development level of the whole civilization was at most equivalent to the middle ages of our earth, When our star warships with tens of thousands of turrets tear their atmosphere, they also wave ridiculous swords and use simple aura in an attempt to compete with us!

"Even in the most extreme psionic civilization, the most powerful one inhales the psionic power of the whole planet into his own body, making him an old monster who can live for tens of thousands of years, while others become parasites on his body and can't resist him at all. However, because there is no threat to him in the whole environment, his intelligence gradually degenerates, He became an idiot who was inferior to a three-year-old child, and was easily taken back by us as an exhibit in the zoo.

"We have slowly found out our experience. Before we fight against an unknown civilization, we should try to find out the status of the parent star from which they originated. If it is a planet with abundant power and resources, then there is no need to worry. It will certainly be a great victory. But if the environment of the enemy's parent star is extremely bad and resources are extremely scarce, Even like our home star, we don't have every bit of psionic power, so we must be careful. It must be an extremely hard battle. "
