Chapter 18 Taking Civilization as a Mirror (2)
The environment on the planet is somewhat similar to that on the Earth. After detection, the gravity is 0.96G, there are oceans and land, as well as various vegetation and animals. However, these animals and plants are not the same as those on the Earth.
There are still jockeys on this planet. They live in cities of considerable size, but their lives are very ancient and their food and clothing are very simple. Apart from the spacecraft anchored above the city, there are no other high-tech equipment in the city, and it does not look like a high-level civilization that has entered the interstellar world.
Could it be that they have practiced to return to nature? They enjoyed too much high-tech and wanted to be closer to nature and live a simple life?
The exploration robot quietly touched the city and observed the jockeys in the city. It was found that they had not practiced to return to nature, but had practiced the original number of their civilization. From a high-level civilization that crossed the interstellar and colonized many planets, they had cultivated into an ancient religious civilization that believed in gods.
Those huge circular things floating above the city are their gods' realm, the spaceship is the temple, and the "god" they worship is the pilot of these spaceships!
The entire civilization is ruled by dozens of supreme "God". The rest of them are under the rule of "God". From the moment they are born, they have begun to receive education that believes in "God" and is loyal to "God". As for scientific education, there is no such thing. And those spacecraft pilots who call themselves "God" are just people who inherited the technology of driving the spacecraft from their ancestors. They only know how to drive, but they don't know why the spacecraft moves, why it drives like this, and why it provides energy like this...
The entire civilization is full of ignorance and primitive flavor.
Why did a powerful interstellar civilization fall to this point?
Daxia also wanted to know this answer. Through discoveries in the Jockey Temple and everywhere on the planet, Daxia inferred the path of exile of the Jockey Civilization.
This has to start more than two thousand years ago.
More than two thousand years ago, although the Creator Sect and the Destruction Sect were in a strife, there was no large-scale conflict between the two sides. However, the Destruction Sect secretly created biological weapons on Lv-233. This incident was discovered by the Creator Sect. The Creator Sect used the undercover agent in the Destruction Sect to create a black water leak accident.
Originally, the Creation Sect only wanted to use the Black Water leakage accident to force the Destruction Sect to terminate the plan, but they didn't expect that the Black Water was so powerful that they almost wiped out the Destruction Sect's personnel on Lv-233, and only a few spacecraft successfully escaped.
After these spacecraft escaped, they naturally reported to the top leaders of their faction. The top leaders of the Destruction Sect were extremely furious, believing that the Creator was provoking them and immediately organized forces to launch a fierce counterattack against the Creator Sect.
The Creation Sect naturally would not be willing to be beaten, and also fought back. From this beginning, the two sides completely clashed and launched a cruel war that lasted for many years.
The wars arising from this kind of conceptual differences are more terrifying than those arising from interests. Moreover, the jockeys are a race with extremely stubborn ideas. Both sides kill to the death. If you or not, they are of the same race, but they are even more cruel than those who are foreign enemies.
This war lasted for many years, not only destroyed many colonized planets of the Jockeys (not the planets were destroyed, but the construction of the Jockeys on the planet), but also affected their parent galaxy and parent planets.
A large number of people died in the war, and countless cities were transformed into ruins. The once highly developed jockey civilization suffered a huge blow in the war. In the end, the jockey people from the Destruction faction won the victory, but the jockey civilization had a fault!
Faults occur because of the death of a large number of jockey adults and the destruction of their original industrial system.
The jockey civilization is very developed, and in the process of development, civilization has continued to grow its knowledge, and its science and technology will be subdivided. For example, when I was in junior high school, there were only chemistry, but when I was in college, there were inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry... these disciplines.
This kind of subdivision is a necessary path for the development of certain civilizations. The jockey civilization is so developed that its technological subdivision has more branches. To support such a huge civilization system of the jockey, all kinds of talents must be found. However, so many people died in war, resulting in the loss of some types of talents supporting this huge civilization system or the number of them becoming very small.
It’s like there are sixteen workers in a factory, each of which can only do the work of his or her job. If a few workers are suddenly missing, the factory will have to be shut down.
Of course, some majors can communicate with each other, which is not exactly like this metaphor, but the sharp decline in talents has made it difficult for the original civilized system of the jockeys to maintain.
After the victory of the Destruction Sect, a group of jockeys, discovered this problem, had thought of a way to remedy it. The solution was education, and to pass on the wisdom accumulated by civilization with education. Even if this knowledge cannot be used now, as long as it can be passed on, sooner or later, civilization will be regained again.
pity……
There were too many people who died, and the previous jockeys were too developed, which led to a problem. In the civilization, there were a large number of machinery and equipment supporting them. They only needed the next command to allow the machinery and equipment to complete it instead of them. However, after the original industrial system of the jockeys was destroyed, they lost the original machinery and equipment. They had to do it themselves, and they were confused all of a sudden!
They knew that iron ore could be refined, iron could be made into hammers, wrenches and other tools, but these tasks were originally done by machines, and now they had to do it themselves. What should they do?
Even if a hammer and wrench are made, how should they use the hammer and wrench to build CNC machine tools, computers, and create more advanced things?
Civilization has developed step by step. They had already worked hard to walk a million kilometers, but now they have returned to the starting point. Even if they have some experience in walking these million kilometers, they will take too much time and effort to walk back. Moreover, they were standing too high and did not completely record the specific process of walking these million kilometers.
In fact, the jockey civilization is quite lucky. At least they have walked the road. If they are determined to walk back again, they will spend less time than their ancestors, because their ancestors have developed from the wilderness primitives. I don’t know how many twists and detours there are ahead. When they re-take, their ancestors have eliminated the twists and detours. They just need to be willing to do it and use time to accumulate slowly.
But the jockeys did not have such a choice. They once stood too high and could never forget the glory of the past. How could they start from resmelting metal and creating a hammer wrench?
As generations of jockeys survived in the war died, the fault of civilization became more serious, and those jockeys who controlled the spacecraft also developed ambitions at this time, thinking that it was nothing wrong with this now. They had the strongest force on the planet, their status was high, and they had the dominance of this planet. Everyone else had to obey their orders. Why do they need to return to the original society? They could not enjoy the privileges!
It’s like now, I’m calling the wind and rain on the planet, and I want any beauty to sleep with me. If I don’t like anyone, if I want to kill him, then kill him. I live so freely and freely, why bother to go back to my original society?
What's more, the original society could not be achieved immediately. It took hundreds or even thousands of years, and they might not be able to see it until they die. So why did they spend so much effort? It would be better to enjoy the current privileged life.
So, these people began to suppress scientific education with violent power, burned the original scientific books of the jockeys, and killed those who spread scientific ideas as heresy... They destroyed the originally few jockeys' civilization inheritance.
Their purpose is to cut off science and make the masses foolish, so as to ensure their rule.
Under the operation of these people, the glory of the final revival of the jockey civilization was extinguished. As these people expected, they and their descendants became "gods" on this planet, calling the wind and rain on the planet, and feeling uncomfortable.
As time goes by, the Jockey family's home star becomes what it is today!
After reading the report sent back by the Jockey Family's parent star, everyone of the "Random Development Committee" fell into silence, and the top leaders of Daxia Original Time and Space were also fell into a long silence.
An interstellar civilization that was once far stronger than Daxia has fallen to this point, which is worthy of Daxia’s warning!
Using copper as a mirror can correct your clothes and clothes; using history as a mirror can tell you the rise and fall; using people as a mirror can tell you the gains and losses; using jockey civilization as a guide, Daxia can know how he will go in the future so that he will not repeat the same mistakes and will go longer.
Daxia did not think of destroying the jockeys on the home planet of the jockeys, but just secretly observed them. This is a place for good observation and experiment with different civilizations.
Once upon a time, the jockeys used the earth in another world as the experimental field and the creatures on the earth as the experimental targets, and now they have become the targets of others' observation and experiments.
Daxia did not have the idea of communicating with this human civilization in another world at this time, because the human civilization in another world is stronger than Daxia. Daxia could not guarantee his safety in this world, but just sent reconnaissance satellites to observe the humans in this world from afar.
