...Four thousand years have passed since the emergence of writing in the Nix civilization. The long night finally showed its dawn due to the emergence of "electricity".
But four thousand years have passed, and the worship of "magma" has become deeply rooted among many religious people, including a large number of civilians and rulers.
In the final analysis, the energy of electricity is still magma, so it does not cause cognitive confusion.
For the Nyx civilization, magma is like the "fire" and "sun" of ancient mankind, or even better, it is a true belief.
Magma is something that the Knicks can come into close contact with, and it is their source of life! According to the chemical level at the time, it was impossible for anything to burn for so many years, but magma... actually did it!
Therefore, this kind of incomprehension makes Knicks people generally believe that there is a "first driving force" and the endless magma can be so hot.
This first driving force can only be attributed to the "god" itself.
This is a deep-rooted inherent culture, a ghost hidden in the mind, and a way of thinking.
But the sage class, that is, the scientist class, tries to attribute this energy to the atoms themselves. They even believe that atoms can be divided! Energy can be obtained by dividing atoms!
This result...seems to deny God!
Yes, this kind of thinking is completely "blasphemous"!
When Dilarn was alive, religious people were still restrained and did not dare to make small moves because of the great sage's great reputation and his mercurial skills.
But after Dillane passed away, no one suppressed him anymore. A famous scientist who studied "the divisibility of atoms" was actually thrown into a magma lake by crazy religious people!
The sage class is angry and repressed. This aloof class from ancient times to the present has launched an unprecedented class war with religion, which is known in history as the "Technological Revival Movement"...
The development of history will always be so similar, even scary...
shudder!
When Yu Yifeng heard this, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.
As science has developed to this point, there will always be some geniuses who jump out to fight against obscurantism and establish a materialist philosophical system.
This may be another inevitable change in history!
At that time, a large number of scientists on the planet Nyx were persecuted and fled their country and went to Thor City in Bargaria... this most enlightened neutral city. It was also the main excavation site for the ruins.
In the city of Thor, these sages have raised their ambitions one by one. They are trying to find out the nature of magma energy and find evidence that "gods" do not exist, so as to give religion a powerful blow!
Of course, many religious people still believe that "atoms can be divided" is completely wrong. They do not agree with the ideas of scientists, and the class struggle has not reached its climax and has not yet triggered a full-scale melee.
Until... an epoch-making genius emerged.
"Eotaton, the twenty-sixth great sage, proposed the special theory of relativity and the mass-energy equation E=mc^2, which brought a turning point to this war without gunpowder."
"It proves that the energy of magma does come from the atoms themselves!"
"God said, 'Let Euteton come!' Then everything became bright." This is the epitaph added by the Nyxes in later generations for Eutaton. Of course, the religion of later generations is no longer the same as before.
Religious fanaticism.
"Eotaton" is the absolute first echelon with the same reputation as "Dilarn". Such a great initiative will never be surpassed by future generations.
This great sage is so awesome, it’s like he was still in the steam age, but he came up with the special theory of relativity and nuclear energy!
It...forcibly denies the existence of "gods"!
As a result, this discovery of Etaton made the church people really angry and even panicked. Their faith began to collapse. This is absolutely not allowed. They could not say it with words, but they started to take action!
The first religious war, and a war on the level of a world war, began...
It goes without saying much about the process here. Because of electricity, oxidants can be produced in batches, so thermal weapons also appear in large quantities.
There were even large airships in the sky, which were the most powerful war weapons at that time.
This is a war between the wise class and the church, a struggle between two upper classes.
It's like the rulers of mankind were at war with the church.
It’s like the struggle between “divine power” and “imperial power”!
As a gathering place for scientists, the city of Thor naturally became the center of this world war. Fanatic religious people tried to establish the authority of "gods" with the blood of sages.
This war lasted for seven years, involving more than 70% of the countries, until a mushroom cloud appeared on the surface of Nix for the first time...
It's an atomic bomb!
The first appearance of this super weapon completely destroyed a large city, killing 200,000 people, and gave the most steadfast religious people an unforgettable chill.
...and directly brought an end to this world war.
The atomic bomb, with its unparalleled aesthetics of violence and brilliance in an instant, is the strongest means for the sage class to challenge the "gods". The mass-energy equation has also been verified with the emergence of the atomic bomb.
"From today on, we must be...our own gods!" At the end of the war, the great sage Eutecton said with great pride.
In this war, the religious side suffered a complete defeat...and ended with the suicide of several popes.
The war ended like this, and the most beautiful era of atomic energy has arrived!
The Nyx people also benefited from the great discovery of the great sage "Eotaton", and finally said goodbye to their dependence on magma and used... nuclear power!
Nuclear power has once again significantly broadened their available energy.
Moreover, they were ecstatic to discover that the reserves of uranium on the surface were so abundant that they could use them for...a hundred thousand years!
"One hundred thousand years!"
"Yes, their surface uranium resources are so rich. According to the standards at that time, they could be used for 100,000 years! This does not include unexplored uranium resources."
One hundred thousand years, a number that makes everyone feel extremely long, has ushered in the happiest era for the Knicks.
This large-scale historical conference has been held for more than three hours now. Everyone has been discussing and pondering, and is almost exhausted. It's time to take a break and have lunch.
Yu Yifeng also sorted out his complicated emotions. The first half of the Knicks' history was full of blood and violence, and the occasional bright spots were always fleeting. But overall, the ending was pretty good.
The emergence of nuclear energy is of course a qualitative change, which finally allows the Knicks to get rid of the dilemma of energy shortage and get rid of their dependence on magma.
History always moves forward in twists and turns.
There is no progress without twists and turns, not only for the Knicks, but also for mankind... The progress of mankind is always accompanied by war and killing.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Only by experiencing ruins can we rise from the ashes... The whole world is so cruel.
"Let's go, let's go have lunch." Yu Yifeng subconsciously called out and walked ahead.
Yuriko was stunned for a moment, and she could only hum and follow behind.
Yu Yifeng was still thinking about other things.
After all, the Knicks are extinct. The meeting in the second half will definitely not be very beautiful. You must be mentally prepared in advance...
The two of them passed by a conference platform, where several robots were distributing information for the second half of the meeting. Yu Yifeng subconsciously wanted to take it, but stopped halfway...
Seeing the stern and depressed faces of the scientists, he suddenly felt that it would be better not to seek abuse in advance...
But Yu Yifeng still couldn't help it. He glanced at the cover of the information curiously, and his face turned pale as he thought of something bad...
"Let's go, let's go, come back after eating..."
No matter what you say, you still have to have a good lunch. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with the huge problems in the future... It is also an inexplicable happiness to know the truth about the big filter later.
Yu Yifeng suppressed his curiosity and took Lily Zi away.
The two of them walked into the canteen one after another. Now they all use buffet style, so you can take whatever you want.
"You should eat less fried foods like French fries... It would be great if we also had an organ like a 'thermocore'. It would save a lot of time for eating and replenish energy while sleeping." Yu Yifeng saw Yuriko's expression.
Taking a handful of fries from the plate, he couldn't help but say.
Yuriko responded angrily, and could only move some of the fries back on the plate.
But deep down in her heart, she absolutely disagrees with changing the digestive organs to 'thermocore', otherwise wouldn't the term "delicious food" be lost?
