Chapter 403 The History of the Taipu
"Are these Tep people very smart? Are they launching satellites on their behalf?"
"Yes, basically this is the trading conditions for the first batch. They chose to use the first batch of trading points and let us launch satellites on their behalf. Other content is still being discussed slowly."
Zhang Yuan looked at the transaction requirements of Taipu civilization and agreed in his heart: "There is no problem. The satellite was developed by them themselves. We just ran a leg and didn't pay a lot of money."
"...but, in a few decades, these satellites will be scrapped. At that time, if they still haven't developed rockets with great thrust, they will not be able to update them. We will only stay here for three or five years, and then we will leave this star field and will not control them."
"There is nothing to do... This is already very good." A nearby congressman said: "If you can enjoy the satellite dividend for decades, their world should change to a great extent and pay more attention to this technology. With satellites, communication on the entire planet will be smoother and will reduce the huge planet into a world village."
"Theoretically, as long as it is a slightly visionary civilization, it will be studied quickly during this period of time. Otherwise, the time will come, and a large number of satellites will suddenly be unable to be used, and people who are accustomed to satellite technology will have to riot."
Of course, there is no need for humans to worry too much about how the Taipu civilization will develop in the future.
Human beings are human beings, and Taipu civilization is Taipu civilization. There is no need to worry about other people's internal affairs. The "limited help" option has basically been completed.
The "running errands" of human beings successfully exchanged for the historical process of this civilization and a large amount of biological information about the local planet, which is also a business that is stable and profitable.
Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to test the entire planet with such a scientific experiment robot.
Historical and biological materials about the planet Tep are also the focus of this scientific conference, especially the traces of enlightener civilization, and people have found some clues. This is even more exciting.
A scientist came to the stage and he was the host of the conference, Professor Rocry.
First, the scientist played a photo of native creatures in Tepsin on the screen, fish, birds, and reptiles. In fact, it is not appropriate to classify life on Earth. But for the sake of easy understanding, it is still named like this.
"The traces of enlightener must be talked about from the beginning."
"...As the planet's gravity is high, all the creatures here have evolved strong muscles and hard bones."
Most animals have very high bone density. Due to the unique hollow structure inside the bones, the overall quality is not too large. This is also the most amazing thing for biologists.
"... On this planet, you need to have enough strength to jump and run, and evolve to be light enough... So many creatures, from the perspective of muscle structure, are a bit slim and slender, the proportion of muscle is much greater than the proportion of fat, and have strong explosive power."
There are also some creatures that look bloated, but in fact they are not.
"...It's because their outer skin has a thick layer of stratum corneum. This stratum corneum structure is similar to foam. It is large in size and not large in mass. It can effectively buffer the damage caused by falling down and avoid easy fractures or internal organs."
"Tep people look fat, but in fact they are weak and have little quality."
Some lives have evolved into exoskeleton structures, mostly small and medium-sized animals. These creatures survive in water like crabs and shrimps. The existence of exoskeletons can provide support for the soft internal organs in the body.
But then again, even if the lives here have adapted to the high-gravity environment, it is difficult for them to perform ultra-high-intensity movements like life on Earth, and it is even more impossible to perform long-distance migrations of thousands of kilometers like salmon.
After all, carbon-based life has its limits. The energy contained in unit cells will not be much higher than that of human cells. Even if it is evolutionary perfect, life here is still more likely to be tired than organisms on earth when performing high-intensity exercise.
"So, the explosive power of life here is often very strong, but from the endurance level, it is generally not as good as life on Earth. Earthlings can run marathons, which are more than 40 kilometers away, but the Tep people cannot. After running a few kilometers, they start to pant and exhausted."
A lot of life likes to sleep in water when resting, because this can save physical energy.
The Tep people also like to use the buoyancy of water to obtain the most comfortable dormant.
"…This habit has been maintained until now. Basically every household has a large bathtub, and then when they are resting, they sleep in the bathtub."
There is no need to consider drowning in the water. The water properties of the Tep people are pretty good. They have huge lung lobes, and the outer periphery of the muscles of the whole body also have a buffering cuticle like a sponge, which can easily float on the water.
These are all objective environments on the planet Tep and the evolutionary forms of life under these objective environments.
After introducing these prerequisites, Professor Luo asked: "Then the question is, since all the lives here are high-explosion and low-endurance species, it means that it is difficult for the Taipu civilization to evolve into a true agricultural civilization in the most primitive period."
"What is the most important thing in developing agriculture? The first is plants, which need to have suitable planting. The second is culture, which needs to produce farming culture. The third is animals."
"...The development of agriculture requires livestock and requires long-term labor. Due to evolutionary reasons, even the Tep people themselves find it difficult to adapt to such long-term labor. Often, one day of work requires a day off, otherwise it is easy to be over-tired, resulting in a short lifespan. This is also proved from the archaeology. The Tep people in ancient times once stayed in the hunting era for a long time and stopped making progress."
As soon as this conclusion came out, a sound of discussion sounded in the conference room.
This is something I never thought of.
Zhang Yuan nodded and agreed: "In the earth's civilization, there is a saying that there is a very important reason why there is no real farming culture evolved on African land. There is no large livestock that can be domesticated in African grasslands."
"In 1500 AD, the population of Africa was only 20 million, while the population of Xia Kingdom, a major agricultural country, reached 160 million. This is the difference between hunting civilization and farming civilization."
Without farming culture, it is indeed difficult to give birth to a truly brilliant and great civilization. Although humans were born in African land, there is actually no such thing as this land that gave birth to a truly great civilization. Even Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations, has long been assimilated by other religions and has not continued to this day.
Settlement can enable humans to store excess grain, and farming culture brings stable grain reserves. These grains can feed soldiers, craftsmen, craftsmen, etc. They are an important force in war and construction.
At the same time, with grain reserves, civilized countries can start giant projects such as the Great Wall.
