Chapter 442 Small County Town

How to change a stable low-level civilization? This is an important research topic for advanced interstellar civilizations. These things are all sociological reports given by "black", and their reliability is relatively high.

"What is the use of such research...?" Yu Yifeng once had such doubts in his heart, but he soon stopped laughing.

His doubts are simply ridiculous. All knowledge must be useful, but he just doesn't know when it will be used.

The sociology of the universe is of course a very important subject. It can be used to enlighten oneself, or to deduce other ideologies that have never been exposed to civilization...

And... just because of the word "interesting" is enough to make it worth studying these issues.

So, how to transform?

Yu Yifeng racked his brains and couldn't think of any particularly good way.

Is it possible to let a new human civilization appear, crush it all the way militarily, and then secretly leave a glimmer of hope to force them to develop nuclear fusion?

This makes no sense and cannot change the rotten nature. Does the advancement of technology all the way require continued oppression for survival?

"Of course not." Yu Yifeng shook his head.

The sublimation of interstellar civilization involves not only science, but also all aspects such as morality, philosophy, and social systems. Simply and crudely forcing it with external force will only cultivate a "sinker civilization" with relatively advanced technology, the lowest level of interstellar civilization.

"Otherwise it wouldn't be a big problem."

There is absolutely no shortage of interstellar civilizations in the universe that are full of Virgin Hearts. They sympathize with the fate of lower-level civilizations and want to promote them... But the starry sky is still dim, which shows how difficult this subject is.

Recalling the experiences of the new human civilization along the way, Yu Yifeng had to lament the methods of this "master behind the scenes".

If "it" really exists, its methods are so sophisticated that it is really difficult for humans to imagine.

Of course, for new humanity to become an interstellar civilization, it is not just a series of external events, but also various internal unity, a series of ideological changes, etc. These are all internal factors and are indispensable.

"In the final analysis, it is not a problem of energy, but a problem of forward momentum... The most difficult thing to change is the human heart. We have no way to control the thinking of a civilization..."

While thinking about it, the spacecraft began to enter the atmosphere and made a faint whistling sound. His body sank slightly, and his thoughts were interrupted by a feeling of weightlessness several times greater than when the elevator descended.

Within half an hour, the spacecraft landed smoothly at the Antarctic base, and all the passengers stepped off the spacecraft one by one. Yu Yifeng also moved his body and jumped on the ice.

They have long been injected with relevant immune drugs, and they need to adapt to this base for a few days before they can officially come into contact with the microorganisms of "Chariot 2"...

Three days later, various investigation teams, accompanied by soldiers, finally landed on this land.

When Yu Yifeng stepped onto this beach, he smelled a faint smell of sea salt, salty and astringent, and a fishy smell of seafood.

This is a third-rate county town mainly engaged in agriculture and fishery...

There is no geothermal energy or wind energy. There is a reservoir, which is mainly used to irrigate farmland, but the power generation is not large. The economic lifeline of the entire county is this large tract of farmland.

Due to the climate, various local villages also plant a small amount of an economic herb called "Kaxing". This plant has a certain degree of mental addiction. The addiction level is equivalent to that of marijuana, and the price is very high. .

Basically, all locals chew the leaves of "Ka Xing" in their spare time, which is similar to smoking.

Of course, this kind of "economic plant" cannot be grown by just any civilian. These things will hurt the body and drain the spirit, but it is difficult to ban them all. The upper levels of the government simply gave some areas planting quotas, as long as the total does not exceed the quota.

Under this kind of administrative order, in order to protect their own interests, these rural black and white forces directly suppressed the cultivation of small people, which can be regarded as fighting fire with fire. "Card banks" have not spread on a large scale.

As night fell, a few dim lights lit up the streets and alleys, and a large group of indigenous people gathered together to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

At least when it comes to food, they are not worried and are much better than the ancient Earth.

After dinner, gambling, bragging, and in order to save electricity, many people gathered together. Some are still chewing "Ka Xing" dryly, looking like they are enjoying themselves very much.

It's strange that most of the people here are thin and there are relatively few fat people. Maybe it's caused by "stuck".

Yu Yifeng always has the thought that any civilization that takes drugs is scum. Just like the Qing Dynasty, some things are no worse than others, but they just can't beat others. Drug abuse is a very important factor.

How can a person have moral ideals if he cannot even control his own spiritual will? How can we talk about a higher level?

But these things are very important economic crops for the local area, accounting for 18% of the entire income. Moreover, after a total ban, there is no need to take the medicine anymore, and there must be a wave of demonstrations and resistance... and even revolution is not impossible. Therefore, various policies were strict and then relaxed, and finally became loose.

Yu Yifeng shook his head, he was too lazy to think about these nonsense...

For those who can't help taking drugs, certain preventive measures will be implemented in the new human civilization. First, drug treatment and physical isolation. If it doesn't work, a public vote will be held in the court to decide whether to perform brain surgery and implant relevant chips.

After the treatment chip is implanted, taking drugs will naturally not bring pleasure.

After turning a corner, there is a large entertainment venue like an open-air bar, where many men and women in revealing clothes are twisting together. The seductive music is very loud, and the big screen is playing a dance program of a movie star, which seems to be quite popular among young people.

Further ahead is a square, where many children in old clothes are playing with glass marbles on one side, and several people are wearing a kind of clogs on their feet, which make a "clack" sound when they run.

"Is this what a world without fossil energy is like..." Yu Yifeng murmured, which is even worse than the rural areas in the early 21st century.

Following him are his wife and two soldiers.

He is wearing imitation local clothes, a kind of woolen product, and looks rich or noble. In addition to the two burly men following behind, no one really dared to come up and provoke, at most they just looked at them from a distance.

"Without fossil energy, there will be no plastics, no synthetic fibers, no pesticides... and not much electricity. Don't underestimate the dependence of low-level civilizations on fossil energy." Yuriko said lightly: "Without fossil fuels, returning to the wood age is a better choice... It seems so."

"Solar energy, plus biomass energy..."

She could vaguely read the thoughts of these indigenous men, but she didn't do that... Ghost knows what these people are thinking...

Yu Yifeng nodded and touched the wall of a house: "Look at this house, it doesn't use cement, but a kind of adhesive material made of mud and starch, which is very hard. Maybe the cheap building materials used in the countryside, only big cities build high-rise buildings."

The manufacture of reinforced cement requires a lot of energy, which is not affordable for every rural person. This phenomenon is very normal.

I really learned a lot.

In this world, the most prosperous area is comparable to a big city in the 21st century, and another area has become an ancient county town. This huge gap between the rich and the poor was really exaggerated in the past.

But here, it is a common phenomenon...

"Handsome man... do you want to eat? The last meatballs are sold at a low price..." A thin woman with old clothes and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes saw Yu Yifeng, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted him.

But when she saw the beautiful female companion and bodyguard behind her, she retreated again. People who look rich or noble, think about it, they will not come here to eat street food, or they are young men from some big cities who come here to travel.

"We want these meatballs, is there a place to stay? A slightly cleaner one is fine." Yu Yifeng did not disdain it and asked directly in the indigenous language.

It was getting dark, and they should also find a place to rest and experience the various aspects of the lives of the indigenous people.

"Ah? Yes, yes, just..." The woman understood what he said and subconsciously wanted to point the way.

She suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Why don't you just stay at our house? It's very clean, the quilts have just been dried, and there are two empty rooms. I wonder if it's enough... As for the price, it's better to be cheaper."

As she said, she tidied up, revealing the cunning and capable nature of a country girl.

"Okay, you lead the way."

Yu Yifeng swallowed a bite of the local meatballs, which had a strong fishy smell. I don't know if it was the unique taste of the locals, or if it was mixed with some other seasonings, which made him quite difficult to swallow.

However, the two soldiers behind him were used to it, and swallowed it without chewing it, so as to avoid suffering for themselves. Anyway, these are all starch and protein, as long as they can be digested.
