Chapter 2060 The direction of development

If you think about it carefully, it does seem like this. If people in this world develop too fast and in the wrong direction, the material resources of this world will be exhausted at an extremely high speed. I don’t know what direction the human beings in this world will develop after the material resources are exhausted. It is very likely that they will become completely extinct in the rated world after the material resources are exhausted.

If you think about it this way, the Holy King of this world thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago probably thought a lot. It has been deliberately positioned, and each rule restricts everyone's behavior. In the end, the speed of human development in this world has slowed down to the current level.

Although etiquette has collapsed, the power of tradition still restrains everyone, preventing them from breaking it easily. Cheng Ying is now a little hesitant whether to help these people break their shackles and promote the development of the times, or to help them understand the harm that may be caused after breaking the shackles and continue their original development honestly.

Normally, people at this time should open up the land and open up the land. They should even go a step further and allow the free sale of land and start the military merit system. Then rely on the burst of vitality brought by this series of reforms to unify the entire continent, and then consider how to develop next.

But once these systems and changes are initiated, there is no way to stop development. When each class gradually realizes the interests of its own class, it will be difficult to prevent them from pursuing the interests of their own class. Until then, everyone will pursue their own interests. After new inventions are discovered, they will not be hindered by tradition as they are now. Instead, their uses will be quickly developed.

And this is still different from the real Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The real Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were marked by a large population and a small amount of land. Human beings were far from developing all the land that could be cultivated in the Central Plains.

People don't need to think about problems like fine workmanship or too many people but too little land. As long as there are good enough tools to cultivate the land, enough amount can be obtained. So as long as the law is changed, the country can become stronger. Quickly open up more farmland, increase food production, and crush other countries.

So much so that sometimes even if you are beaten very badly, you can still try to counterattack. But these are all individual cases, and they really come to the battlefield. There is a big difference between this planet and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This place has been developed for too long in this period, and even if the emperor is to reclaim it, it will be very difficult for a civilization that can only use bronze. Over a long period of time, the land that can be cultivated has basically been cultivated to the limit. The population that the land can support has almost reached its upper limit.

The new increased productivity brought by new technologies can indeed bridge social conflicts to a certain extent. But because the land is almost all occupied. Even the changes brought about by the emergence of new technologies cannot compare with the land dividend brought by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, before the national army can achieve a more stable rule, the reality of more people and less land will come. And it's going to be very intense. Because after the emergence of iron tools, cattle farming, etc., the manpower required to cultivate the land will be greatly reduced instantly. In the process, the number of people has not been reduced rapidly due to war, disease, hunger, etc. The population may even increase to a certain extent due to sufficient food being obtained in a short period of time.

In this case, although the food is enough to feed these people, since the landowner's farmland does not require so many people to cultivate it. The nobles could simply hire fewer commoners. Grow your own farmland to gain more wealth. And those who do not have land to cultivate will naturally become refugees. If only a few people are like this, it will have no impact on the country. These problems can be solved soon after the countries complete their unification. Even if utilized well, this part of the labor force can be utilized. Develop handicraft industry and make your country the first to become stronger.

But right now, we don’t have access to iron tools and cattle farming, so we can’t hide it for too long. A large number of refugees will appear in various countries within a few years. They have no land to cultivate and no source of income, but they are huge in number and must Stay alive. The craftsman in town. It may not be able to feed such a large population. It will inevitably cause chaos, but what is more important is not the chaos they bring. It's about the rapid development and prosperity of the handicraft industry after there is a sufficient population in the town.

When enough cheap labor appears at the door of the handicraft industry, related industries will develop rapidly, from ordinary workshop-style handicrafts to handmade factories. Then, as each technology is proposed and the people who open factories appear, For the sake of self-interest, technology will be rapidly improved, and production relations will also undergo unprecedented changes.

The first wave of these was carried out by handicraft industry. After the capitalists discovered the benefits brought to them by the demographic dividend, they would soon realize it based on their own class instincts. Those feudal nobles who dominated the land and restricted the personal freedom of serfs were their biggest enemies, and because there were too many names left behind, this wave of emerging capitalist classes was bound to rise. It will not be like normal historical development. Before it has had time to rise, it will have been discovered and suppressed by the rulers within the empire.

Just like on the Central Plains. The rise of capital has actually already begun. In the Song Dynasty, or even earlier, productivity had actually entered the stage where it could develop into the capital era. It's just that the Central Plains civilization has so many technology trees in the social sciences that the real rulers know very well what a devastating outcome it will be for them if the capitalists grow up. The process of budding capital is eliminated from the source.

This is because society has given them enough time to develop, allowing them to summarize enough social laws and realize the necessity of killing the bud of capital. So that while they know how to kill the bud of capital, they also have enough technology. to do this.

According to Cheng Ying's own estimation, if the world's technology develops rapidly, the outcome will be that within one or two hundred years, the world will enter the capital era, and technology will develop rapidly. By then, things like steam engines and internal combustion engines will soon appear. Human beings will rely on the chemical technology developed by the resources already available in this world. It will also quickly become popular on this planet. By that time, the population will increase at an incredible rate. The increase in technology will allow people to adapt to relatively harsher environments, distributed throughout the spherical shell.

Of course, it will still be concentrated in those originally fertile areas, and the final outcome will be quite terrible. The environmental pollution caused by steam engines, internal combustion engines and the like will not change in a short period of time, and will not even have any adverse effects for decades. After all, human beings on the earth have hardly carried out any effective environmental protection work. From the development of industry to the present, environmental protection organizations have emerged in endlessly. However, compared with the damage caused by human industrial development to the natural environment, their impact in the process of human development is almost equivalent to nothing. Even so, after hundreds of years of industrial development, the earth's environment has not completely deteriorated to the point where humans cannot survive. Degree. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, a relatively comfortable environment was created for human beings to live. This is even more true here. After investigation, it was found that the mineral resources on this planet are more abundant than those on the earth. The water resources of this planet also contain much more fresh water than the Earth's. What's more, this planet has an atmosphere hundreds of times thicker than the Earth's. The atmosphere is spread throughout the entire spherical shell space, and only in a small gravity-free area of ​​​​the star, there will be a very small part of the vacuum zone.

This means that the planet's ability to withstand pollution will be several times that of the Earth's ecosystem. It may be possible to develop industry on this planet for thousands of years. But that's about it, because there is no outer space here. Human beings have no way to use the gravity-free environment to carry out many large-scale engineering constructions, and there is no way to build accelerators that surround the entire planet. In the end, the development of science and technology will probably be seriously hindered by the surrounding environment. If we cannot master the accuracy in the process If they have advanced transmission positioning technology and mastered ultra-long-distance transmission technology, then they may not be able to find the location of another spherical shell further away, and they will quickly perish due to environmental pollution and resource depletion.

After all, with the development of civilization, the rate of resource consumption has increased exponentially. It is imprecise to measure the environmental impact of this civilization over how long it will last at the current stage of Earth's development. Maybe they won't survive for less than a thousand years, and they will develop too fast in a few hundred years. As a result, environmental pollution exceeded the limit they could tolerate, technology regressed, and they eventually perished in this cavity.

Cheng Ying did not promote the development of science and technology in this world for the time being. Instead, he watched the existence he named Wei State competing with Chu State for hegemony along a river.

What he is thinking about is what kind of technology tree this world will take in the future so that it can develop in a relatively long-term way. The most cherished resource in this world is not material, but space. Therefore, if humans in this world want to survive, they must first What you should be exposed to should be space technology.

If they can produce a large number of space props and stuff real-world materials into the space props, at a certain level, they can expand their living space by digging outward, or they can use the industrial production process to expand their living space. The generated garbage is collectively packed, compressed and thrown into these space props.

If this is the case, there is actually a direction for technological development. Just find a way to reduce the cost of space props. There will still be ways to avoid the end of the world in the future, which is much less difficult than making things like space and rings. Because this thing is essentially made to hold garbage. Since it is used to hold garbage, all that needs to be done is to reduce the volume occupied by the garbage. There is no need to think about it, you have to take out what you put in it. From this perspective, the design and manufacturing of related technologies are carried out. It seems to be much less difficult.

Since it is not considered to be able to be taken out. It doesn't matter whether the internal physical environment is stable.

Things stored in normal space props must be placed in an area that is relatively stable relative to the physical environment. Otherwise, if there is intense movement or huge temperature changes inside. Then whatever you put in it will go bad very quickly. Or it may react with other things inside and eventually turn into a piece of waste. Even in that space, the speed of time flow may be unstable, so that half of the things contained in it become old and worn out, while the other half are as new as ever.

A real usable space ring. All of this must be in a stable environment. This is one of the reasons why their cost is high, and it is also one of the major difficulties in related technologies. If these costs are not taken into account, the cost can be greatly reduced. If some extra energy is consumed to stuff the garbage inside, the interior can be filled with garbage. The density becomes greater and more garbage can be packed in. This is one of the technical ideas. Follow this technical line of thinking. Humans can. Obtaining relatively more living space, although you still cannot have any contact with adjacent civilizations in a short period of time, you can at least expand the scope of the spherical shell in which you live. As for the other method, it also involves space capabilities. use.

It’s also a way to dispose of garbage. It's just the opposite of searching for other life forms in outer space.

In the vast universe, in the vast ocean of matter, it is very difficult to find a cavity with life.

Since you explore in any direction, it is basically impossible to encounter intelligent life. Then simply not explore in that direction, but choose a direction and coordinates at random. Then throw away the garbage generated during industrial production. By opening a portal and throwing it over, as long as the pressure at the end of the portal where the garbage is thrown is greater than the pressure at the coordinates on the other side of the portal, they can forcefully stuff the garbage through. Moreover, the universe is vast, and they can stuff as much garbage as they want. Fits well.

Of course, this does face problems. Matter is conserved, and the garbage they throw away will definitely occupy space in the universe. Even under a greater pressure environment, the space occupied by these garbage is reduced, and it will definitely squeeze the living space inside other spherical shells.

But since they have thrown the garbage so far, this squeeze will undoubtedly take countless years to pass on. It can still be a way for them to expand their living space, or it can be a very shameless beggar-thy-neighbor way, and this is indeed another technological development route that can be tried.
