Chapter 2059 Etiquette

Cheng Ying is quite interested in an ancient capital with little external pressure. Be prepared to get involved yourself and see where they develop without making a huge historical push. As for this world, there is actually no need to save it, because the natural environment of this world has destined humans to develop technology to a very high level even here. There is no way to prosper either.

When living on the ground, people will subconsciously feel that the most precious resources are the various resources from the ground. But as time goes by and technology improves, they will gradually realize that the most precious thing in this world is not material, but space.

The cavity they live in is the most precious existence. Apart from this, they can hardly find another bubble in the vast universe that can allow them to survive.

To find another bubble suitable for their survival, it may be several light-years away, and in this universe with physical matter as a barrier, it is simply impossible to cross this distance.

Therefore, it would be impossible for humans in this world to cross such a long distance without developing technology to an incredible level. And to develop science and technology to that point, there needs to be a huge space for them to carry out various practices and various industrial constructions.

Even from his perspective, this development seemed nearly impossible. So Cheng Ying came here more to observe and look for another world that corresponds to this world. Only by integrating them with each other can the disadvantages of each other be offset. Only in this way can the problems of this world be solved.

Some problems originating from the natural environment cannot be solved by technological development. Perhaps such a universe is not unsuitable for life. But it is not suitable for human life forms. If their life form is not human, but another animal that is different from humans, for example, they can live in the rich primordial soup of the universe, have extremely high-temperature energy bodies, or they can be like ghosts. The matter that ignores the entities between objects is quantum shuttled among them.

These creatures can live freely in such a universe, but human beings, who possess physical matter and cannot swim in the high-temperature and high-pressure wooden ocean, are destined to not be suitable for such a world.

Even so, they developed their own civilization, albeit primitive, although still fighting among themselves. But it's all worth seeing.

Chengying sent incarnations to different countries. Examine how the inhabitants of these countries live. In this land where the sun is always shining, every country observes different times and legislation. The only similarity is probably that the cycle of each day is the same.

In other words, in different countries, the time to wake up and the time to go to bed are different. But the total length of a day remains basically the same.

It's not that they want to be unified in this way, but on the one hand they found that human physiological rhythms are like this. On the other hand, they also found that randomly changing the length of a day would make the calendar difficult to calculate.

They can though change the length of the day, defining how long the day is to their liking. But the problem is that the movement of external celestial bodies does not change with their definition, so the length of the one-year cycle does not change.

If you slightly increase or decrease the length of a day, the number of days you need to experience in that year will also become different. And they must guide farming according to normal legislation. This is why farming civilizations tend to have more advanced astronomy and learn it first. One of the reasons is computing and statistics.

They need to determine the farming season based on astronomical legislation. Although the spring, summer, autumn and winter of this era are not defined by the rotation of the sun and the moon in the sky. But after all, it can be concluded through observation.

After summarizing these principles, you can plant according to their guidance. In fact, this derived to a certain extent the etiquette of this era similar to Zhou Rites.

This point is different from the real Spring and Autumn and Warring States. The real etiquette of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States was formulated by the Emperor of Zhou in order to facilitate the control of the feudal princes and for the convenience of these princes to control their ministers and officials. Wasn't it him? The so-called your people are going to attack.

But this is different now. Their rites and laws were not drawn up from the rule. It is summarized in the heaven and earth, that is, the laws of planting are summarized, and then people must abide by these laws to obtain a good harvest. Such corresponding rituals have gained enough credibility in this world, and everyone believes that failure to follow this set of methods for planting will lead to a failure in harvesting food. The country becomes weak and is annexed and destroyed by others.

The person who formulated this set of rules. By formulating rules by himself, he brought benefits to the world and established many rituals that were beneficial to him. He also formulated many vassals who needed to be loyal to him, and those high-ranking officials also needed to be loyal to him, and defined What should the gentlemen of this world do? In this way, as long as they always follow this set of rules, the countries in this world can continue to operate for a long time and never die.

Because the world changes more slowly than the outside world. In addition, the internal environment is a relatively small cycle. Within such a small-scale cycle, after mastering the laws of the movement of heaven and earth, the probability of natural disasters is very small.

So I survived by following this set of rules, and I don’t know how many years later I am today. This set of rules still hasn't broken down.

Or not completely broken. Now that the world is divided, for so many countries, it is no longer as unified as before. In fact, some people have already opposed this set of rules.

It's just that the power of tradition is too strong and deeply rooted. Although the emperor in the center has become the weaker party, these eight powerful countries dare not openly violate the so-called etiquette. When fighting with each other, they still need to inform the emperor and at least do something. To live up to the reputation.

But over the years, those who really sit in the center have been unable to control a powerful enough force, and there is no way to maintain the balance of the world and restrain the monarchs of the world through force.

Therefore, it has initially entered the stage of collapse of rituals and music. The monarchs of the world have begun to fight against each other, and some people already think that the laws of their ancestors can be changed. The number of livestock they raise is actually quite large. After Cheng Ying personally came to these countries to observe inside, he found that there were actually better farming methods here. On the one hand, this was because the population of the world was increasing and more wasteland could be reclaimed. On the other hand, Because of technological progress. A few areas have broken away from traditional influence. Started trying to use cattle to plow the land.

Although the abundance of metal elements in this world is different from that on the earth, copper is more abundant than on the earth, while iron is slightly scarcer than on the earth. But one thing cannot be changed, and that is the difficulty of smelting metal. The difficulty of smelting copper is definitely less than that of wild iron smelting.

Therefore, this world still used things similar to bronze at first. Now they have mined a large amount of copper and accumulated it. In the process bronze farming tools and weapons were produced. Although the number is still small, this is already a huge change for this era.

Some places already rely on cattle-like creatures. Relying on the tools made by Hong, he began to try cattle farming, and the efficiency of such work was much higher than if humans did it in person. Even if humans in this world can give birth to some extremely strong extraordinary beings, because these extraordinary beings are much more intelligent than those in the depths, even if they take advantage of their huge size, they will not work in the fields, but will do more useful things. matter.

Are you Brother Niu? This is still a more efficient way of working in this era.

At the same time, some people began to discover that they could harvest more through long planting than scattering seeds all over the sky, so there were certain changes in the way of planting. In addition, some of them discovered the effects of composting and watering on plant growth.

Different countries have different planting technologies. The output also varies, causing slight imbalances in national power between different countries. This also led to the emergence of the eight families in front of them from among the many princes who were originally balanced in power. They have more or less mastered some technologies that are beyond this era and have achieved their current national strength.

It's just that they seem to be far from realizing how to really use this power.

After all, after productivity increases, if there is no system that adapts to this era, productivity cannot be effectively exerted.

Cheng Ying discovered that this continent has entered a very interesting state, that is, the ancestral methods must be changed. Only in this way can one's national power be strong. Whoever thought of this first tried to implement reforms first. Then its own national power will become stronger and become the overlord of this era.

It's just that the pressure of tradition in this era is much greater than that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They have been ruled by etiquette and have followed this set of things for thousands of years. If they were to break it suddenly, there would be many objections in the country. Even some people who can gain more benefits from this process will subconsciously oppose it because of the instinct brought by tradition.

Chengying did not actively promote the development of technology, nor did he promote the awakening of people in this era.

He was watching the constant hesitation of various countries in the process of reform, and repeatedly engaged in various struggles with the nobles, and was also thinking of his own. He has observed people living in this world from all aspects of society. And he gradually discovered a problem. That is, this is a closed space. Although it stands to reason that people living on the earth also live in a relatively closed space, the total amount of air inside the atmosphere is not even as much as the air enclosed in this spherical world. , the atmospheric environment should be more fragile and easier to be destroyed than here.

But in the process of polluting the environment, most people on earth are not that worried. It seems that it doesn't matter if the thin layer of atmosphere, soil and ocean that I live in are polluted, even if this layer of things is more fragile than the world inside the spherical shell.

That's because although the earth's atmosphere is isolated from the outside world, the ecosystem is only such a thin layer. But after all, space is empty. It is possible to go to space, and it is theoretically possible to travel in space to the distant shores of the stars and find other planets suitable for human survival.

Even if the ecological environment in the spherical shell in front of us is better than that on the earth, even if the thickness of their atmosphere here is many times thicker than on the earth. But what if humans in this world enter industrialization? If they frantically exploit the resources in the land, will using concentrated energy pollute the atmosphere here? Will it cause pollution to the ocean?

The answer is definitely yes. It’s just that these pollutions are not that serious compared to the pollution on the earth. After all, this ecosystem is larger than the earth. At least in terms of atmospheric circulation and the self-purification ability of the atmosphere, it is much stronger than the earth. The impact of the same level of pollution on the natural ecological environment may be less than half that on the earth. But even so, if pollution occurs in this world, the sense of crisis it will bring to people will still be much stronger than that of the earth.

Because people living in this world have no way to abandon the planet they live on. Even if they are determined to leave the space they live in, they will find that there is no such opportunity. Even if they try to leave this endless material ocean, where can they go? Space is limited. Even if you open a hole in the earth's crust, you will find that there is a vast amount of material underneath the ice.

Think of this. Cheng Ying suddenly felt a little lucky that he did not directly promote the development of the times recklessly. Instead, he chose to wait and see. The later the stage of human development, the greater the consumption of energy and natural resources, and the greater the impact on the entire ecosystem.

Human beings who originally practiced slash-and-burn farming would at best allow some wild animals in the areas where they lived to become extinct. All kinds of garbage caused by production and life can be easily solved by the purification ability of nature.

But as humans enter industrialization and create all kinds of garbage, all kinds of pollution cannot be dealt with by the ecosystem. In this environment, if it is still in a closed system, it may take just half a year to make the system unsuitable for human survival. Play with the humans inside this cavity. It is almost impossible to develop powerful teleportation technology to explore other cavity locations by relying on one's own strength. If their technological development is allowed to progress, extinction may be waiting for them.
