Chapter 136 Mediocre civilization
The next morning, Zhang Yuan started a normal day of work with a dark circle. 35xs Anyway, the earth's civilization is in full swing, and life still needs to continue.
"Why, did you have insomnia yesterday? I stayed up late and finished watching."
"Yes, senior brother, you won." Zhang Yuan smiled.
"It has nothing to do with me... It's the new civilization history that won."
Perhaps it is because at this moment, it is too far from the earth; or perhaps it is because under the baptism of time, the earth's civilization has become very unfamiliar, and everyone's emotions are not so low, which is equivalent to watching an extremely awkward movie.
However, the click rate of papers related to the history of new civilizations has increased by more than a thousand times in the past few hundred years, including Zhang Yuan's new paper, and there are also many comments!
Whether you can understand or not, people are trying to find solutions from this new discipline.
Unfortunately, the history of new civilizations has so far been just a complex network model, with extremely abstract calculations that people usually cannot understand at all, just watching the fun.
Only people like Zhang Yuan who are proficient in mathematics have a certain say.
In particular, converting a historical node into a series of chaotic functions involves many complex calculations. After calculating a number, even Zhang Yuan himself cannot figure out what this number means.
"Now with the historical reference data of the earth's civilization, we can continue to improve this discipline. 35xs is just not enough sample data... It's only five or six hundred years." Zhang Yuan carefully read the current research progress.
He suddenly said: "I think that the earth's civilization has not yet reached the worst situation, and there is still a possibility of breaking away from the trough."
"Yes!" said Senior Brother Zhao: "It's just a cold war. There is a small probability of breaking out of the trough, but a higher probability becomes worse. Don't consider the calculation first. From a political perspective, what do you think can help the entire civilization get rid of its current dilemma."
According to old historical experience, such a Cold War will continue, similar to the original U.S.-Soviet battle, until one side’s economy collapses completely and one side erodes the other.
Of course, it is also possible that before the collapse occurs, one side will take a desperate bet and break out of the first interstellar war of human civilization, causing huge damage.
"...It's hard to pick out this low point just by relying on internal factors." Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Now we need the help of aliens! The emergence of aliens is likely to be a key event to reverse the trend. However, the probability of such things is too low."
Senior Brother Zhao couldn't help laughing: "How do you know that the arrival of aliens is a positive incident? If you encounter a strong enemy that is irresistible, as long as you have the chance to survive, the top humans will likely surrender directly. It's better to live than to die. How could an ant challenge the elephant?"
"Only even enemies can unite the earth's civilization. The probability of 35xs is really slim..."
"That's true."
Senior Brother Zhao made a joke that was not very funny: "Maybe, when we become stronger, we can be a alien back."
"This joke is not funny at all. Is it necessary for us to go back?"
After discussing this, Zhang Yuan frowned.
Even if there is a lot of history to learn from, can new civilizations do better than Earth civilization?
Not necessarily.
Reality is always more cruel than imagined.
When their generation, all the ambitious interstellar pioneers die, what will happen to the next generation?
No one can predict it.
Human beings themselves have their own bad habits, and their descendants may not be better than the earth's civilization.
The wheel of history goes by, the more it is, the less a single great man can change it. How easy is it to change?
...
Life in the spacecraft is quite boring, with only three keywords: learning, entertainment, and rest. Research on the history of new civilizations has been underway, and how to translate samples into data is a key difficulty.
On this day, Zhang Yuan came to the Star Library alone, looking into the distance through a layer of glass.
He really likes to think about problems quietly in this small place.
Due to the dark clouds of wars on Earth, economic recession, and the reduction in spending, the message sent by the Deep Space Foundation has been reduced from once a month to once a year now.
If the funds are insufficient, it will continue to shrink in the future...
This is very bad news.
"Hey, I'd better have kept that stock until now."
Zhang Yuan was a little annoyed, but he soon gave up this idea. Maybe the stock will be worthless until now, and the company has gone bankrupt.
He began to try to change some key historical nodes in the model to change the current final outcome.
Assuming that a certain key history has not happened, will the current outcome change?
Unfortunately, this cannot be assumed.
Key historical nodes are derived from a large amount of history ahead. If you want to modify these key historical nodes, all the history ahead needs to be modified so that the entire network can be harmonious and matched.
After modifying a large amount of history ahead, we must modify the history ahead and continue to modify it to the final origin.
The result is that every point in the entire network system needs to be modified to change the final outcome.
Such complex deduction of the chaotic system cannot be achieved by Zhang Yuan's current level.
"It moves the whole body with one move!"
The most important thing is that according to the mathematical model of the history of new civilizations, the insurmountable trough that a civilization finally reaches is definitely more than this one.
There are more, more lows, and more difficult problems ahead.
That is, under the dim starry sky, "mediocrity" is the most eternal truth.
The stars in the sky are flashing, how many civilizations are hidden inside? How many civilizations are facing a mediocre ending similar to the earth?
Even though the earth's civilization has not yet reached its final end, it is already close to its final end...
There are only one road that is truly a smooth road, and the other nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred ninety-nine are all dead ends.
Unfortunately, this broad road is hidden in countless dead ends and is not necessarily so easy to find.
It even disguised itself as a rugged trail,
During the growth of a civilization, it will inevitably be accompanied by countless amazing heroes, but these great men can only delay the process of civilization becoming mediocre. Because they had already taken the wrong path from the beginning.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan strengthened his determination to "obey everything" and relying on human wisdom alone, there are too few things that can be seen. Even if the calculation is just a number, the simplicity and objectivity is far beyond human wisdom.
