Chapter 404: Slavery Society

The same is true for the entire Tepstar. Although humans and Tep people are different species, the lowest logic is still a creature driven by interests. The behavioral logic of Tep civilization is not difficult to understand in humans.

Looking at this planet, although some large livestock can be domesticated, due to the evolution of high gravity, these livestock have not strong physical strength.

They can run very fast in a short period of time, but are not good at long-term labor.

An animal called "Membrane" can be regarded as a large organism that is very suitable for domestication, but it can only cultivate 1 acre of land a day, but a human cow can cultivate 3 acres. The food content of the two species is similar, which is the difference brought about by the high gravity environment.

In high gravity environments, short-term outbreaks are far more important than endurance. If the "membrane" is allowed to cultivate the land every day without resting, it will soon get sick and fall down.

It takes several years to raise a membrane from childhood to adulthood, and it is impossible to let it work until it dies.

Even the Tep people themselves are the same. It is difficult to adapt to the physical labor that is done at sunrise and resting at sunset. They often have to rest for a day. In this way, it becomes even more difficult to farm honestly.

Without the true birth of farming culture, the Taipu people in ancient times were able to only hunt, gather and nomadic people. Such food sources were not stable enough and it was impossible to gather a large number of people, so it would be difficult to form a real country.

"So, a large amount of archaeological evidence suggests that the Tep civilization lingers for at least one million years in the Stone Age."

There was another wave of discussion in the conference room, which means that if the enlightener civilization really visited this planet, they would face a civilization that had been in the tribal era for a long time and could not have a farming culture. The lack of progress was caused by the objective environment.

"So, what will the enlightener do?" Zhang Yuan asked with interest.

Li Zhendongdao: "If it were me, I might have modified the genes of the native species and modified a living organism that can be cultivated."

"Your idea is not very natural. Such creatures will be difficult to adapt to the local environment and will soon become extinct. In this high-gravity environment, there are no species with strong explosive power and strong endurance. If there is such a species, it will be the so-called superhuman."

Obviously, the next development did not appear in this genetically modified organism.

Or perhaps, the enlightener believes that such hesitation is normal and one day, it will break through that barrier.

"A higher-level civilization focuses on time periods not just the present. The enlightener civilization may not care about the millions of hovering, because hovering does not mean completely stopping."

Pictures on the big screen continue to describe the following history.

Since the population that can be raised per unit of land is limited, conflicts between tribes and wars for territory naturally break out extremely frequently. Especially after the development of animal husbandry, the grassland with plump land has become a place that military strategists must fight for. Since they are too lazy to cultivate land, they can livestock. Livestock is much simpler than cultivated land!

Many civilizations always have such a little commonality at the most primitive stage. In other words, species that truly advocate truth, goodness and beauty have long been wiped out in the primitive period.

But this kind of competition in ancient times was not meaningless. The tribes that could win must have their superiority, perhaps in terms of system, perhaps in terms of wisdom and force.

In long-term practice, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, these tribes that can exist for a long time will always pass on some experience and make a little progress, such as medicine, agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts...

Progress accumulated by experience, although slow, is effective.

Finally one day, some victors of the Taipu civilization gradually discovered that it is far more cost-effective to demote the captives of the enemy tribe to slaves than to kill them. Slaves mean scarce labor, and even if they die, they don’t feel sorry for them. It’s just right... you can use them to farm!

So, the most basic slave idea... was formed like this!

Archaeologists of the Taipu civilization once discovered 22,000 years ago in an ancient ruin named "Bei", which determined the initial wisdom of the entire civilization.

These hieroglyphs record a tribal victory that happened at that time and also record the slavery at that time. In order to survive, the defeated warriors crawled on the ground, voluntarily became slaves, and served as slaves for generations, while the winners of the tribe are fanatically selecting slaves.

In a special period of time, the formation of classes can indeed promote the development of civilization.

The Tep people are indeed not good at long-term physical labor, but there is no big problem for slaves.

Slaves have no human rights. As long as they can produce more food, what if they are tired of death?

This slave tribe, which had a new system, was becoming more and more powerful, constantly expanding its territory to the outside world, conquering one primitive tribe after another, and finally formed a unified great power and created an unprecedented prosperity...

"North" is also the first real country on the planet!

The expert standing on the podium commented: "...The so-called prosperity is based on the labor and life of a large number of slaves. It is impossible to feed all the population by animal husbandry alone. It must rely on real agriculture. This long-term cultivation can only be accomplished by slaves and a livestock called "membrane"..."

"Because the physiological structure of the Tep people is not suitable for endurance labor, the average life span of slaves is often less than thirty years old. As long as there is a little disease, they can take their lives."

"But we cannot deny that this cruel and harsh system has promoted the progress of the entire civilization. Without the dedication of slaves, there would be no Tep civilization today."

After playing one slide after another, Zhang Yuan's mind was also shaking...

Indeed, without slavery and class division, the Tep people with innate physiological defects could only form small tribes based on clans.

If a real country is not formed and a large population is gathered, it will be difficult for a civilization to make real progress.

Slavery system is definitely a contribution.

The entire slave age lasted for a long time, and then slowly entered the Bronze Age and even the Black Iron Age. The tools of labor gradually changed, which gradually improved the efficiency of arable land. However, the slavery system has never been abolished, and even to this day, some small countries of Tepxing still retained such traditions.

"So, is there any contribution to the enlightener civilization here?"

Of course not, because the time is not worthy of, the rise of the Tep people was 22,000 years ago, not 150,000 years ago. Their ideas were miscalculated, and civilization had its own tenacity. In the whole process, even without external forces, it could still develop slowly.
