Just when everyone was confused, Dr. Rimbaud, who was sitting on the side, suddenly shouted: "I have a guess, everyone can listen to it!"
"I wonder if this low-level civilization accidentally caused a large-scale leak when mining combustible ice from the seabed!"
"...It may also be due to earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions and other reasons, which led to large-scale eruptions of combustible ice on the seabed..."
"That's pretty much it anyway, bringing a lot of methane into the air! The methane we detected in the atmosphere, as well as the planet's strong greenhouse effect, also confirm this!"
Yu Yifeng couldn't help but nodded, which was somewhat similar to his guess.
"Everyone should know that in terms of unit molecules, the greenhouse effect of methane is 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide! The carbon dioxide and methane on this planet are much richer than those on the earth."
Dr. Rimbaud felt that he had found the truth, his thinking became more and more active, and he spoke faster and faster, "So, these greenhouse gases caused the two-level glaciers to melt and the sea level to rise! Of course, the original sea water of this planet is
A lot, its deepest trench reaches almost 20,000 meters... It originally contained much more water than the Earth."
"But what does rising sea levels have to do with war?" someone questioned.
Dr. Rimbaud paused: "Of course it does! The greenhouse effect is not formed in a day or two, but in years!"
"At the beginning, the rise in sea level was not obvious. It only flooded the surrounding cities, which was the city we first discovered... Therefore, these intelligent creatures can evacuate in an orderly manner, and there are enough countries and enough
territory to take in these refugees.”
"But as the greenhouse effect becomes increasingly severe, the ocean gradually submerges large tracts of land! At this time, a series of problems will arise."
"What if half of the world's land is submerged? Or even 60% or 70%? The remaining land cannot support a large population, and no country is willing to take in refugees, so... uh... the war breaks out like this
Got it!"
He made an "explode" gesture at the end.
After saying this, many people nodded.
Rimbaud's words still make some sense. Many people here are of the older generation and have experienced the earth period.
If the sea level rises significantly and many countries are submerged, it is possible that if it is not handled properly, it will trigger a world-level war.
But some of the new generation were confused and a little confused.
In their view, there seems to be something wrong with this statement.
If you want to immigrate... The planet is so big, you can always squeeze it in. A group of people live on the same planet. When a problem occurs, they don't concentrate on finding a solution, and an internal war breaks out?
In their view, killing similar people is simply incomprehensible.
They were stuck for several seconds before they came to their senses and nodded thoughtfully.
Yu Yifeng looked at this group of confused young people and smiled bitterly in his heart, hadn't he studied human history and the history of civilization?
Why is it still...
In fact, it’s not their fault. The environment affects thinking. The culture inside Noah is quite simple, the interactions between people are quite friendly, and many positions have clear division of labor...conflicts of interest are almost non-existent.
Therefore, the new generation of young people naturally have simpler thinking, just like children who have not grown up...
"Yes, if we really want to describe it, it's like scholars in an ivory tower. They are generally polite scholars..."
Just thinking about it, Yu Yifeng felt a sudden realization.
He finally understood why he always felt like there was something wrong with the soldiers under his command...
It turns out that’s the reason!
It's okay for scientific and technological workers to say that they are very suitable for the current atmosphere, but the current group of soldiers has also inexplicably hid in the "ivory tower", which is a bit problematic.
These soldiers are too simple and lack murderous intent!
He finally understood why, as an interstellar civilization, the Green Light People were so stupid and easy to deceive? How many times did they get fooled by the human disguise plan?
Why?
Because the civilization is too harmonious, there is no training in this area at all... Members of society are straightforward in thinking and do not have so many fickle thoughts.
With the advent of the interstellar age, society has entered a state of great prosperity. At this time, people do not need to consider "survival", and there are no opposing interests, no contradictions, and no intrigues...
At this time, the competition between people is only in academic aspects, and there is no need for intrigue at all...
When society has developed to the current level, the previous theory of struggle has lost its effect, and people will always become more and more naive.
The internal struggle within civilization has decreased, and there has been no internal struggle for a long time, which has led to the natural decline of certain abilities of civilized individuals.
That is...the collective becomes simple.
This has almost become an inevitable result!
Therefore, the following generations are like college students who have not entered the society... They always have expectations for the world. In the eyes of the people on earth in the past, these new generations are very straightforward in their dealings with others, and even have a little bit of...
Fairytale innocence.
If it were placed in the previous earth society, it might not be a good place to live, and it might even starve to death...
But in this new society, this kind of naivety is a common phenomenon, and it is not a big problem. People tend to work more and more in teams and help each other.
Indeed... the new generation of human beings has not seen too much evil, nor has it seen too much chaos, and they always think of other lives in a similar way to themselves.
They believe that the world is a beautiful place, and when problems arise, they should always find ways to solve them, rather than relying on massacres and other methods to solve problems.
How should I put it...this kind of thinking...
Yu Yifeng shook his head.
"Is this the difference between K-level civilization and L-level civilization? K-level civilization is chaotic and evil; L-level civilization is orderly and friendly. In fact, it is easier to manage an L-level civilization. But if individuals are placed in a complex environment, it may
People from K-level civilization are more cunning and more likely to survive..."
"But from a group perspective, the K-level civilization was instantly reduced to scum by the L-level civilization."
"This is... the prisoner's dilemma..." [1]
This trend of naivety has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that there is unity within the civilization, there is no internal fighting, and it is very fast to advance science and technology! Any big projects will be completed quickly. There are no bloody incidents such as internal wrangling. Even if everyone saves money and food, it is not a big deal.
The disadvantage is... faced with the complex interstellar environment, this naive civilization may be somewhat unable to adapt.
Yu Yifeng doesn't believe that the entire universe is so naive...
Those ancient interstellar civilizations with a long history are definitely more cunning and cunning than the civilizations that have just entered the interstellar world...
If these first generation old people die, the new human civilization may become like the Green Light Civilization, a powerful but naive civilization...
Well, that's most likely the case.
Unless...this civilization once again withstands the baptism of war and death, can it mature quickly!
"So, the Green Light people may grow up and become more awesome? They seem to be at war, right?"
"...Is the reason for the emergence of the Destroyer Civilization more complicated than imagined? In a way, is it a good thing?"
Yu Yifeng smiled mockingly to himself, and then became deeply worried. He felt that this problem was quite difficult.
"Is this the entropy of civilization? There will always be natural troubles... No social system is perfect."
Thinking like this, someone else stood up and questioned: "However, even if a nuclear war occurs, everyone will not die! Moreover, there is no nuclear winter here, so nuclear war is not serious..."
"No, no, no, I think there's something wrong with the nuclear winter argument."
Another expert who is proficient in calculation and analysis shook his head and said: "This warm and humid planet is hotter than the earth. It does not have much land, the air is humid, and the precipitation is extremely abundant. Even if a large-scale nuclear war occurs, it will probably happen soon."
It will return to normal within a year.”
"And the previous statement of nuclear winter is itself a hypothesis without decisive proof... There are many models that believe that nuclear war will not lead to nuclear winter. Even if a large-scale nuclear war occurs on the earth, the temperature will recover within a few years.
.”
"So large-scale nuclear war cannot be ruled out... But I also think that war will definitely not kill everyone. As long as we keep searching, we can always find survivors. We don't have to worry. If Dr. Rimbaud's idea is correct, we will
We must find survivors!"
Seeing so many people supporting him, Dr. Rimbaud continued to stand up.
He said: "Now it seems that nuclear war is an inevitable event, and the scale is not small... I also thought of other possibilities..."
"First: After this civilization was in crisis, they fought half the battle, suddenly woke up, and then stopped fighting. They developed together, became a rare interstellar civilization, and flew away in a big ship..." When he said this conjecture, he himself
They all laughed, because the chance of this was really slim.
"Second, they were exterminated by another powerful interstellar civilization! Nuclear bombs are just desperate resistance."
"And thirdly, these indigenous people have built certain shelters on the seabed, underground, or inland areas... They hide in them!"
