Chapter 470 Continuation of Civilization
Dempsey said: "In that case, wouldn't the race lose its heritage and civilization?"

"It depends on how you define racial development. If you think that pure racial civilization is the most important, then you will indeed lose a lot.

But this also depends on the characteristics of civilization itself. The number of elves grows slowly, but the combat ability is not strong, and the production capacity is also not strong.

Even if the elves can always maintain a strong magical ability and rule the elf forest, humans dare not invade.

But one day, the elves will see a large number of human beings who are constantly fighting, dying of disease and starving due to the population explosion.

At that time, whether it is saved or not, it will have a huge impact on a civilization, and it is not advisable to be too enthusiastic or too cold-blooded.

And once the biological explosion occurs, without a sustainable development plan, it will only be a matter of time before the environment is destroyed.

You must never think that as long as humans do not invade the Elf Forest, the Elf Forest will always be full of birds and flowers.

The problem of the environment is the problem of the whole world. Once Grian's environment is out of balance, it is certain that all species will be unlucky, and the elves in the elf forest will not be able to escape.

Even if the entire elves are mentor-level magicians, when faced with the collapse of the world's environment, all they can do is struggle and die together.

Disaster-level environmental changes cannot be avoided by civilizations without large-scale weather control methods. "

Dempsey said: "The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it is, can we still change the weather in the world?"

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Do you still remember the huge mushroom cloud after the atomic weapon exploded?
It only needs a certain amount of mushroom clouds produced by atomic weapons, plus the large forests ignited by explosions, to generate enough smoke and destruction to change the environment of the world and cause mass extinction.

We call this way of destruction a nuclear winter.

Anyway, there are thousands of ways in which the ecological environment can destroy species. You must not think how powerful creatures are. Compared with nature, creatures are very fragile.

Moreover, compared to the universe, Grian's world itself is also very fragile.

Therefore, for civilization, the important thing is not to preserve its own characteristics, but to break out of the cradle and go to the stars, so that civilization can continue.

Only in this way can civilization be more secure.

In other words, compared with existence or non-existence, individuality can be let go first, and when you become a civilization at the level of a galaxy or even a star cluster, even if you like to fart, you will become a characteristic admired by weak civilizations. "

Seeing Dempsey who obviously wanted to say something, Feng Yu said: "You can try to deduce it, if we don't contact other races, can the elves develop technology alone?
Absolutely not!

Because elves don't have the hands-on ability of dwarves and gnomes, let alone the hard-working spirit of halflings.

If elves do not engage in technology and lose their absolute deterrence to humans, then races like elves, which are difficult to grow in number, do not have a stable and rich living environment. Even if humans do not directly attack elves, elves will gradually decrease by themselves, and eventually To die.

A statistic can explain the problem very well, that is, the pregnancy rate of female elves of the right age in Cattail City in recent years is five to six times that of female elves in Obscure Moon Forest.

Even if we count by five times, do you know what that means?

This means that in an environment like Cattail City, the total number of elves will increase five times faster.

It turned out that when the elves were curled up in the Obscure Moon Forest, the number of newborn elves was far smaller than the number of dead elves in 100 years.

If there is no Cattail City, even if the elves survive the migration and the war of planes safely, your final outcome is predictable.

But now, in the superior environment of Cattail City, although most of the young elves participated in the iron army contact battle, the total number of elves has increased.

This is not only a decrease in the death rate of elves and an increase in newborns, but also because of a good environment, the average lifespan will also be extended, which is also an increase in the total number of elves.

There is a special department in Ilya, which is dedicated to statistics and research on the total number and changes of minorities of various ethnic groups in Cattail City.

After the Cattail City appeared, not only the elves, but also the total number of all races increased. Most of the abnormal deaths were successfully stopped, and the number of newborns also increased year after year.

In other words, what Cattail City brings to all ethnic groups is not only peace and stability, but also the continuation and growth of the race.

Compared with these, those so-called individuality and traditions are completely secondary.

There are 100 million elves, even if the whole family is a magister, it is not scary, but the [-] million short-lived humans are scary.

Because once there is an irresolvable dispute between the two clans, even if they replace one elf with a thousand-man army, they can slowly consume all the elves with a few generations.

Therefore, the fate of the minority species is doomed from the day they become a minority species. If the population growth cannot be restored, it is only a matter of time before they die out. "

Although the temperature in the research room was very high, Anthony and Dempsey still felt chills behind their backs after hearing Feng Yu's words.

"Also, I think that even if the elves didn't join Cattail City and carry out racial integration, they didn't maintain much of their own characteristics. You are also changing slowly, but this change is very slow, and you all deliberately ignore it.

Teaching humans, accepting halflings, compromising and migrating, as far as I know, this would not have happened in the previous elves. "

"So change is the right thing to do?" Demps said.

"To be precise, the change that suits you is the right one.

There is no absolute right or wrong, improving the race's ability to resist risks is the best way to continue the race.

This includes the strength of the whole people, the increase of the total number, the expansion of the gathering places, and so on.

Therefore, when magic cannot do this, it is the best way to switch to technology, protect the safety of elves, and provide an excellent social environment to increase the number of elves.

And when a single family cannot do this, uniting a few species with the same needs is the best choice.

It is obvious that human beings have no need in this regard. Their numbers have caused a qualitative change in the race, becoming the overlord of Grian, occupying the rich land, and continuing without worries.

Even without us, human beings can still win the final victory of the plane war by virtue of their numbers and sacrifices and a huge territory.

The Dragon Clan has already seen this, so in order to invest in humans, they even risked the dragons and humans to participate in the plane war.

But in my opinion, it is useless for the dragons to do this. There is no doubt that the fate of their mounts has been doomed since the moment the dragons joined the human race. Their pride and authority will never be regained. "
