Talking about this, Gan Yaduo heaved a long sigh: "If at that time, our city could have been braver, resisted the pressure to export ideology, supported some armed forces, and tried to change the world, it might be another day. It's a different situation."
Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, and regardless of whether there are any ifs in the world, even if the whole thing happened again, he thought that Goer City would still make the same choice.
Because Gore City does not have overwhelming military strength, nor does it have a strong enough ideological revolution theory to overthrow these old things.
Atia, the forerunner of civilization... can only be said to be a pity.
But... this is not the whole history!
This is only 20,000 years of history, and there are 30,000 years to come!
Even if a civilization falls into the trap of entertainment, it will still progress slowly. It is impossible for the entire society to be full of inferior people with elm heads. There must be a large number of middle classes, engineers, scientists, doctors, etc., and that is a stable society.
These middle-level people are not like the bottom-level people. They can't all indulge in vulgar entertainment. This group of guys still want to sharpen their heads and go to the upper level!
Twenty thousand years have passed, and the technologies that are easy to mine in the universal factory are slowly exhausted.
These middle-level people who have no chance of promotion have become the object of the ruling class's troubles. Their thinking is the most active and there are the greatest variables.
Before the potential of the fully automatic universal factory is completely exhausted, the middle-level people have a smooth path to promotion, because they can spend all their time digging out the supporting technologies in the universal factory. Whoever digs it out will be promoted, it's very simple.
After all, this is a comprehensive scientific and technological product of the pinnacle level two civilization. It integrates the massive wisdom of the alien civilization. In addition, the scientific and technological foundation of the Gliese civilization is not solid. Even after tens of thousands of years, there are still a lot of half-knowledge.
But now, tens of thousands of years have passed, the things that can be studied are almost completely studied, and the things that cannot be studied are complicated to death, and the way to ascend is gradually blocked.
The desires of intelligent life are endless, and if the path of ascension is blocked, they will no longer be single-minded, and can only choose internal games. For the Gliese people who are morally corrupt and worship money supremacy, the internal game naturally does everything they can.
Slowly, the whole society began to become smoky. Some big stars suddenly broke the shady scene, and some moral models suddenly became morally corrupt. In fact, it was all the result of the game of internal forces.
No matter how perfectly packaged a star is, as long as the persona collapses, they will be abandoned.
The unsatisfaction of life is real. If you see too many shady scenes, the people will feel bored, and there is still the possibility of riots.
Therefore, the ruling class began to worry again. They desperately needed something that could achieve eternal happiness, and even keep their subordinates eternally loyal, to satisfy the greedy masses... Finally, one day, a man named "Sira
" In the database of Universal Factory, scientific researchers discovered something called "Happy Element", which opened the real Pandora's Box!
This kind of "happiness element" is tailor-made for them by the interstellar civilization. It is a somewhat complicated chemical substance, hidden in the deepest part of the database, and no one has paid attention to it.
There was also a line of fine print on it very kindly: "Can paralyze nerves, highly dangerous product, it is recommended to use it as a drug only!"
Will I die after injection?
Since it's a drug, it shouldn't be...not.
But why should it be marked as "happy element"?
What does paralyzed nerve mean?
After studying for a while, the scientific researcher was a little confused and risked his life. He curiously tried the so-called "happy element".
Chi-
hoo!
After inhaling a little happy hormone, "Sira" fell to the ground, his limbs twitched and paralyzed for a long time.
Immediately after waking up, I thought about it for a long time.
It showed a ecstatic and demented expression on its face!
The scientific researcher ran towards the residence of the ruler, and it contributed its own research results -
"A higher level of happiness, found it!"
As for the following warning "Highly dangerous goods , it is recommended to use it only as a medicine", and it was thrown to the back of the head...whatever it is, it's good enough.
A month later, in the central square of the city, the ruler held a grand banquet, filled with flowers and wine. Almost all the nobles were summoned to discuss something.
Many onlookers prostrated themselves on the ground, curiously looking at the supreme ruler, what major policy he wanted to announce.
Standing on the stage, the pangolin spoke excitedly and enthusiastically.
"Today, we have found the source of happiness, let's cheer to our heart's content!"
Suddenly, a spray-like cloud was sprayed from a nearby car, and all the pangolins watching were paralyzed. on the ground.
Ten minutes later, they showed confused expressions one by one, and danced excitedly...
The nightmare of the highest level has begun
...
Zhang Yuan shuddered abruptly upon hearing this!
He has always had a very big heart and a strong receptivity, but at this moment, the pores on his back are open, and he really feels a kind of sincere creepiness.
He has a deep understanding of what the so-called "happiness element" is. If this thing is flooded, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"...It's a kind of poison!" Gan Yaduo said through gritted teeth, "You can get great pleasure after using it, but soon, in two days, or three days, this pleasure will turn into pain, and you can't wait to go again use!"
"This is the deadliest thing about this poison. Its antidote is itself. It can only be used repeatedly to relieve pain, and there is no possibility of cure..." "Ah, I know, I know it
is What." Zhang Yuan nodded.
"What? You know." It was slightly shocked.
"Your Excellency Gan Yaduo, I seem to be able to predict what will happen next. This is really a sad story. Could it be that there are no natural plants in your civilization... the kind of plants that can paralyze the nerves? Natural hallucinogens?"
" Can you predict what will happen next?"
Gan Yaduo asked suspiciously: "Plant that naturally paralyzes the nerves? What is that... Oh, there are indeed some plants that can make us unconscious directly, but they are not the same as happy element at all."
Zhang Yuan was surprised again. The world of the Gliese people has no natural existence of these things because the ecological circle is relatively simple, so they have no resistance to them!
Not wary at all!
Coupled with the fact that hedonism has swept the world long ago, a non-existent and irresistible bad thing suddenly appeared, and finally let the Gliese people step into the final abyss...
