Chapter 238 Technology stagnation

As time goes by, the successors of "Gol City" began to have a headache. There are great benefits to the increase in population, but if management cannot keep up, it will become a hidden danger.

Any large-scale project, such as water diversion channels, or mining marble, and opening up a larger underground living space, will last for a hundred or even five hundred years!

Even if the Glitzer people have a long lifespan and their work efficiency is not very good, these projects are really too slow, resulting in increasing dissatisfaction among the people.

But no matter how dissatisfied it is, no matter how powerful the consul is, it is impossible to change the chaotic result.

The root cause is work and rest!

More and more Glitzers realize that Gando’s idea of ​​“planning work and rest” is actually correct. But the power of opposition is still strong. There are many stubborn Glitzers who believe that dormant is their own freedom, and this freedom should not be deprived.

Since mandatory work and rest are not desirable, in order to solve the chaotic dormancy problem, the smart consul came up with more ways to "save the country in a curve". For example, some art performances will be started at specific times, and schools will also start at specific times to indirectly guide the public to hibernate.

However, this kind of guidance is too slow and it only has a preliminary effect after thousands of years of use.

This chaos was not until another wise man, Kahn, was born. His ideas were similar to those of Gardeau: Glizzards were too lazy and too idle, and there was generally no pressure on life, so where did the upward momentum come from?

It believes that the previous ideas of the ruling senior leaders and the common people were separated. For many people, science and mathematics were just an elegant "art". At present, it has not been greatly converted into productivity. Even if you don't go to school, it is no big deal. At least it will not affect your own life...

"Elegant art" such as science and mathematics is a blissful way in the eyes of the consul. Only a few smart people can understand the beauty in it. Moreover, smart people are generally high-level leaders.

However, ordinary people are not interested in this type of "elegant art". They prefer popular art such as drama, singing and dancing, so it is impossible to change their work and rest because of learning "elegant art".

Kahn is a descendant of a businessman and is naturally very sensitive to the economy. He knows what the lives of ordinary people are like.

What do ordinary people like?

money!

face!

Beautiful opposite sex!

And...a higher status!

It soon promulgated a complete set of economic policies to try to better promote business, especially to establish some collectively owned large handicraft factories, in which they must go to work at the same time and get off work at the same time.

At the same time, the market opening policy has been standardized, and on certain specific days, there will be certain tax incentives.

Those who follow the regular routine will have more opportunities to gain wealth; individuals who want to lie as they wish will have fewer opportunities to gain wealth if they stagger their collective activities, and they will gradually become poor.

Like humans, the Glitzer people also yearn for a better life. If the awake period is completely staggered with the large army, then life will undoubtedly be more troublesome.

Free sleep? No problem, as long as you can tolerate poverty.

Stimulated by this economic interests, year after year, more and more Glitzers began to lie in a unified manner...

The unified daily routine finally...

Formed.

The whole process took nearly ten thousand years!

A serious country, even if it is just the size of a city, compared with scattered tribes, has great advantages in both system and population size.

The host on the stage said with a strong voice: "At this moment, the idle Glitze civilization finally ushered in its own rapid rise!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan felt that the history of the entire civilization was very strange. The Glitzers at that time had a level of knowledge equivalent to that of human civilization from the 18th to the 19th centuries. They began to explore the thresholds of chemistry and physics, but they had just founded the country!

The problem of unified dormancy has taken tens of thousands of years to go over and over, and he has no idea what he should say.

"It is not considered ignorant to say that they are ignorant, and it is definitely not considered ignorant to say that they are smart."

"Hey, we also look at primitive humans, but also ignorant and uncivilized."

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, more Glitzers discovered that the primitive life that was originally more satisfied actually had more room for improvement, such as more exquisite food, more interesting entertainment methods, more comfortable living places, etc.

The original caves where they lived were prone to landslides. I don’t know how many Glitzers died because of the landslideslides.

But now, the underground city of Goertek has been planned by architects and reinforced by marble, which is comfortable and safe.

Moreover, after unifying the work and rest, many group work is indeed much more convenient, especially some large-scale projects, which were unimaginable in the past.

If there is a benefit, there will be a driving force. After seeing the benefits, countries will follow the example of appearing on narrow residential belts.

Rather than saying it is a country, it is a "city-state" gathered by a large number of people.

The Glitzer people, who were born idle, had low reproductive ability and did not like too much constraints. They generally adopted a "democratic system" evolved from the original system. The Citizens' Congress is the highest authority, and leaders are voted by the people to manage these city-states.

There is also a high degree of competition between city-states. Smart people will naturally know which city is better, which city is politically clear and has room for upward, which city has a more comfortable climate to live in, which city is the city of art, etc.

Under this situation, the population will naturally migrate to better cities.

Competition brings upward motivation. One wise man after another appears on this planet, begins to improve the system and laws, and proposes a higher level of morality.

Scientists are trying to reproduce the miracles brought by the "Inspirator", constantly explore nature, master the laws, and try to improve the productivity of the entire civilization...

It seems that the entire civilization is thriving, with a high level of intelligence and qualified ideology that will soon break through the atmosphere and walk out of its own planet!

But unfortunately...

A fatal flaw has emerged!

The oxygen content on this planet is very low, almost none.

The absence of oxidants means there is no natural combustion phenomenon. Without combustion, the development of various industries is extremely difficult. The Glitzer people can only control a small amount of simple natural resources such as wind power and hydraulic power. For example, dig out a wind tunnel and then use wood fiber plants to make a windmill; make a watermill near some underground rivers...

But these energy sources are always unstable, difficult to control, and cannot truly advance the times. They urgently need a more powerful energy source.

Fortunately, the Glitzers already knew the existence of electricity, and they knew that lightning in the sky could be used. With some revelations given by the "Inspirator", they had the possibility of jumping directly from the Stone Age to the Electric Power Age, even if...

This step is very, very difficult.

But it is regrettable that for a full 150,000 years, these Glitzers did not take this critical step.
Chapter completed!
