"How come the names of these ancient civilizations are so familiar?"

Li Yao was stunned again, "Especially 'Chinese Civilization'?"

Without letting him think too much, the picture in his mind is constantly moving forward at a speed of spanning hundreds or even thousands of years per second.

The glorious palaces rose and collapsed again and again, and the majestic city was destroyed by the tide-like war. In the east, people built majestic water conservancy systems and the Great Wall to resist the invasion of floods and beasts. In the west, people drove narrow and simple boats, cutting waves and galloping across the ocean.

Greece, Rome, Persia, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period... More tribes, nations and countries appeared, creating a more brilliant and glorious civilization. They continued to split and unify, and history rose in spirals, advanced in twists and turns, and bloomed vague light in the dark.

The more Li Yao looked at him, the more he felt that he had read a similar history somewhere, right? It was in a bizarre dream, that is, on the earth at the core of the Hongchao!

Although compared with the present moment, some people and place names read in the history of the earth in the dream are different, including some important historical events, the development context is exactly the same, just like different evolutionary versions of the same earth.

"What the hell is going on!"

Li Yao was completely confused. He didn't know how many earths, how many sections of history there were, or how many earths, and the history that repeated countless times was the so-called "reincarnation"!

As the concept of "epoch" appeared on the earth in the sea of ​​consciousness, everything was even more fleeting.

The ancient armor was shattered by the new muskets, and the darkness of the medieval period was smashed by the Enlightenment and Renaissance. When the Eastern continent was still sinking into the quagmire of historical cycles, a peerless man named Watt had emerged in the Western world, gathering a large number of predecessors' technology and wisdom crystallizations together, and improving the "steam engine" a truly first generation of civilization treasures!

The emergence of steam engines has led Yuanshi civilization to the first industrial revolution, with a great era of surging and surging.

From this moment on, Yuanshi civilization is only one step away from the sea of ​​stars.

but……

"Wait, wait!"

Li Yao suddenly discovered something very strange and extremely strange.

This matter seems very unreasonable, but because it is just under his nose, he actually ignored it. "Is this really the early development process of your Yuanshi civilization? Why didn't I see a trace of 'psychic energy'?"

"Yes."

The voice said, "Our mother star is very lucky to be in a 'spiritual cavitation' or 'spiritless space'. On our early evolutionary path, we were indeed not affected by psychic energy. At that time, we called the most powerful force 'technology'."

“Very…lucky?”

Li Yao had a hard time understanding, "You regard being born in a 'spiritless space' as a kind of luck, why?"

"The answer to this question, with your wisdom, should be deduced by yourself."

The voice said, "For any native civilization that has developed from scratch, it is a great luck to be born in the 'spiritless space'. Only such civilization can grow into a real star sea overlord after having the ability to fly out of the mother star. Including a long time later, when our Yuanshi civilization conquered the star sea, the mother star was in the spiritless space. On the contrary, those civilizations with the mother star in a viable environment and developed smoothly to the peak, no matter how powerful the individual is, they are strong outside and vulnerable."

"this……"

Li Yao thought deeply.

Psychic energy is the purest and most stable energy form. Although it is not as powerful as psy energy, its comprehensive utilization efficiency is definitely higher than psy energy and its application range is wider. Why is it said that having psy energy is an unfortunate, and lack of psy energy is luck?

Li Yao's heart moved and remembered that in the test just now, he had transformed into an archaea, living near the undersea volcano, and relied on the chemical energy of volcanoes and magma to survive.

For a small archaeological or even a whole blanket, the thermal and chemical energy of the magma are almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible. If he is only satisfied with the form of archaeological, he can almost always surround the undersea volcano and survive in this way.

But what is the meaning of such a life?

Similarly, Li Yao thought of the earth in his memory, including the parent star of the Yuanqi civilization in front of him, surrounding the equator and living with many tropical races.

These tropical races are born to enjoy the fertile land and endless crops. They have neither the trouble of the invasion of the severe cold nor the threat of biting beasts, nor the problem of food scarcity. It can be said that they sit in a treasure pot when they are born, and they can just grab whatever they want, without even reaching out to see a hand, and all kinds of starch and nutrient-rich fruits will fall from the trees for their enjoyment.

As a result, the wisdom of these tropical races has not been developed at all, but they are addicted to the endless low-level fun and animal instinct. When the same people in the temperate and cold zones overcome difficulties, fight against the sky and the earth, and make rapid progress in struggle and harsh elimination, tropical civilization has always stagnated to a very low-level level.

Born in distress and dying in happiness, Li Yao said to himself not long ago, why did he forget it so quickly?

"I see!"

Li Yao shouted, "If a planet is in a psychic-enriched star field, the survival of intelligent life there will be too easy and simple, and it will not be enough to develop super intelligent and complex social forms, and even lack the need to communicate effectively with the same kind. These are the foundation of a civilization!

"A world with psionic energy enrichment is like a tropical with abundant resources and a world with lack of psionic energy, like a temperate and cold zone with a harsh environment. The former is destined to not cultivate a strong civilization, and the latter is the true breeding ground for a great civilization!"

"You're right."

The voice said, "The so-called 'civilization' is a sum of humanistic spirit, invention and creation, and public order and good customs that have been accumulated since history.

“Civilization is a collection of all social and natural behaviors that free intelligent life from its barbarity, which includes at least the following elements: family concepts, tools, language, text, beliefs, religious concepts, laws, city-states and states.

"And to produce all elements, there is a basic premise, that is, relative equality between people.

"Only monkeys and monkeys, or ants and ants, can communicate with each other, construct society, language, law, belief, etc., and ultimately create a great civilization. There is no way to create society between monkeys and ants, let alone civilization.

"And the extremely special and precious energy of psychic energy has the function of stimulating cells, activating individual strength, and greatly increasing individual differences. In a world without psychic energy, the individual differences of carbon-based intelligent life are limitless. Even if the overlord who once conquered a whole continent, slaughtered millions of enemy troops, and established a great martial arts, may be killed by a beggar holding a sharp blade. This is "relative equality" or "relative inequality". When a man is angry, he will splatter his blood for five steps, and he is close at hand, and he will be able to win over the enemy country. This is the basis for establishing a great civilization.

"However, on those planets that naturally have rich spiritual energy, carbon-based life has learned from a long time ago to absorb the sun, the moon, swallow the treasures of heaven and earth, and evolve and mutate wildly. Even if a wise race was finally born, the differences between each individual in the race were very large, so big that the weak could hardly pose any threat to the strong.

"When a million weak people gather together and cannot pose a threat to a strong person, such a society must be deformed, civilization must be weak, the strong people have no need or need to promote the progress of civilization, and the weak cannot inspire the desire to explore and creativity. They will not be forced to find ways to explore new technologies and establish new public order and good customs and social laws, in such a world, the survival of the weak is the only law, and any technology and ideas that may weaken the psychic energy will be strangled in the cradle.

"On the road to conquering the starry sea, we have encountered countless civilizations developed from planets with abundant spiritual energy. None of these civilizations have crossed their own galaxies, and even their own planets have ever taken their own. Although some of them have strong individual combat power, the level of development of the entire civilization is at most equivalent to the medieval times of our earth. When we piled up starships with tens of thousands of turrets to tear their atmosphere, they also waved ridiculous swords and used simple spiritual energy to compete with us!

"Even, the most extreme spiritual civilization, the strongest man sucked the spiritual energy of the entire planet into his body, turning himself into an old monster who could live tens of thousands of years, while other similar species became parasites on him and could not resist him at all. However, because there was no existence in the entire environment that could threaten him, his intelligence gradually deteriorated and became an idiot who was worse than a three-year-old child. We easily caught it back and treated it as an exhibition in the zoo.
