Zhang Yuan whispered: "So, the development process of this civilization and mankind is a little different, but it is easy to understand. The abolition of slavery has always been determined by productivity, rather than relying on moral changes or the appeal of several knowledgeable people..."

"Economic construction determines the upper foundation, and will only be overthrown by the general trend when it truly hinders the progress of the times. This should be the commonality between some civilizations."

"At present, these small countries that retained slavery have basically not yet achieved industrialization, and slaves can still play a great role. This planet is too big, and the transportation is inconvenient. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Other countries have no interest in caring about these countries."

"In addition to the inconvenience of transportation, no satellites, and no major powers to be global policemen and accuse human rights is simply thankless."

"A planet is too big, not necessarily a good thing. With more natural resources and larger land areas, it is even more troublesome to unify your thinking. By this era, some countries were in a state of losing contact, which was unimaginable on the earth."

A planet is too big, and there are indeed problems of one kind and another. A large number of countries are in a state of never interacting with each other. However, this phenomenon also has more variables, that is, it is easier to create sparks of science.

Due to the restrictions on domestication of livestock and the lack of transportation, it is difficult for the countries here to occupy millions of square kilometers like those of the Earth-era countries. Because there is no sufficient communication guarantee, the country can easily lose control of its borders and lead to division.

In the Middle Ages, the largest countries once reached three million square kilometers. These countries just wanted to invade foreign countries and plunder more slaves, but they declined themselves because of their large territory.

This type of region has fallen into the curse of long-term dynasty reincarnation. One dynasty overthrew another dynasty, mixed with slave uprisings, but there is no major progress in particular.

There are also some remote small areas who want to develop various technologies, especially in some Mesopotamia basins with superior geographical conditions and fertile land. The large-scale use of hydraulic power has made the minds of these Tep people more flexible.

The invention of waterwheels and ships prompted the Tep people to think about the deeper essence of mechanics, which became the origin of modern civilization.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "Professor Luo, what about the religion of Taipu civilization? Didn't it bother too much about development?"

Professor Luo, who was standing on the stage, said: "The development process of this civilization has not been troubled by religious factors, mainly because... most powerful countries advocate ancestor worship, not god worship."

Every country has risen from cruel primitive wars. Without brave and fearless ancestors, there would be no current Tep people, so worshiping great ancestors also admits a very natural thing.

There is only one commanding height at the spiritual level. Since "ancestor worship" has the advantage, it is difficult for god worship to catch up.

The religious methods worshipped by ancestors were also difficult to form a unified global religion.

If your ancestors are different from mine, they will naturally not believe in each other. If there are conflicts in history, this contradiction will be difficult to eliminate and turn into national hatred.

"The way of worshiping ancestors does not explain all doubts, and it also hinders the development of science. However, the spiritual shackles are undoubtedly much smaller than that of worship of gods... Some Tep people think that the words of the ancestors are absolutely correct and are not allowed to be violated, but some Tep people think that the ancestors may not be correct, and the dynasty will be overthrown, and nothing is absolute."

"...If religion does not have strong enough political influence, it will be difficult to interfere with the normal development of society, and it will have a certain degree of promotion effect."

This kind of simple belief is easy to understand, which is equivalent to the human beings in Kunlun Mountains. They believe that they originated from the solar system and the earth. This is not a symbol of the simple cultural significance level, but a symbol of spiritual value including blood ties, culture and other aspects.

If the identity of one's own origin and the important factor in cohesion of a civilization, if the origin is different, why should we work hard for the same goal?

Just like the Soviet Union, it was the country with the most ethnic groups and the most complex problems in the world. In order to solve ethnic problems, the Soviet Union deliberately created the "Soviet people" and has been vigorously promoting the achievements in nation-state construction.

However, when democratizing reforms and allowing the people to make choices, all franchise republics placed their national and national interests above the overall interests of the Soviet Union, a coalition country. The lack of national identity directly led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Practice has proved that the Soviet Union's practice of dividing administrative regions by ethnicity did not help maintain national unity and eventually became an important reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union. [1]

The humans in Kunlun Mountains have no problems in this regard. Everyone agrees that they originated from the earth. In the past, countries have long had no sense of identity under the impact of time. Everyone agrees that they originated from the solar system and the earth, and this common starting point is enough.

“…But for the deeply rooted countries in the ancestor worship, they did not take the lead in developing science and technology.”

"On the contrary, a small country that rose from the ruins took the lead in launching the industrial revolution and became the most powerful country on the planet."

As for the reason, it is too complicated. The Taipu civilization itself also has a large number of social works that try to explain this fact.

Some sociologists think that the thinking model of "ancestor worship" has hindered the progress of some major countries. In order to maintain social stability, rulers will declare that "all the ancestors said were correct, and the laws of ancestors are unchangeable." Then it is difficult for the "natural philosophical system" with axiom as the core system and the "formal logical system and the discovery of causal relationship through scientific experiments" to truly appear.

Some sociologists have proposed the theory of "insufficient demand". These once powerful countries have gained benefits through continuous foreign wars and have fallen into a fixed mindset.

Even if the dynasty is overthrown and replaced with one, it is the same dominant model, so naturally there is no time to think about the basic principles of the technology.

Inconvenience of transportation has become a benefit. At most, there were even more than 20,000 countries on this planet, each country had its own ideas. Various difficulties finally resulted in a small probability event because there were enough countries in this world and large enough samples.
