During the long voyage, these primitive people who were born and grew up on an isolated island saw the steel city for the first time. Although the city was overgrown with weeds half a century later, the corpse of the city still shocked them. When they saw
When I saw the various life-sized stone statues standing horizontally and vertically in the city, I was shocked by the reality of these stone statues, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The number of such huge petrified statues is indeed astonishing. Dulan has reason to believe that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were made using petrified light more than two thousand years ago.
The lifelike stone statues all maintained their last movements in life, which frightened the primitive people who lacked knowledge. However, they remembered a hundred stories taught by their elders and knew that these cities must be the hometowns of their elders.
They found some usable things in the city, replenished food and water and continued their journey.
In fact, they didn't know where Dulan was going to take them. They thought it would be good to live in the ruins of the city. The place was so big and there was no shortage of space. There was nothing bad about it except that the animals were cruel.
In the past fifty years, the city has become an animal paradise. Wild dogs and wild cats are very ferocious. But compared to the small space of an isolated island, these dangers in the city are nothing.
But Duran decided to continue moving because his goal was the Longxing Land in Rome, one of the earliest birthplaces of human civilization.
Although reluctant, Du Lan requested, and Fu Hao and Wu Ding commanded that they could only set foot on the ark and continue setting sail. This was a long and thrilling journey, in which some people left forever and new lives were born.
Fu Hao was very powerful, because she was the abbot of the two most important jobs in the Yin Shang Dynasty, and her husband Wu Ding seemed to be a logistics minister. The so-called major affairs of the country were sacrifices and war, that is, sacrifices and wars. Fu Hao led 13,000 people back then.
Thousands of soldiers attacked your country from the north, creating a great situation for the Shang Dynasty to revive Wu Ding. Now that she has returned as a heroic spirit, she naturally attaches great importance to these two things.
However, the sacrifices of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were too cruel, and they often involved human sacrifices. To put it simply, they killed people in various ways, without treating people as human beings at all.
Of course, in ancient times, when even the slavery system was not perfect, the large number of captive people had no other use than to be sacrificed to heaven. After all, a large population wastes food and has no economic value at all. Wait until the slavery system is established later, and then kill people.
Sacrifice to heaven is a waste of resources, because population is an important production tool.
The era of Fuhao still retains the atmosphere of matriarchal society, and she has not fully realized that slaves are equal to production tools. Now her main job is to divine whether everyone will do something, or whether the result will be good or bad.
the result of.
When you are in doubt, you can immediately do divination. Anyway, you use a very confusing way to manage a ship of people.
Finally, after three years, Ark arrived at the Land of Longxing in Rome, and was able to settle down. Now the total population of Ark is only eighty people, and they don't know what to do in the face of the huge Land of Longxing.
good.
A good woman means that she will settle down and have children first, and we will talk about other things later.
"Very good, you have completed the task well." Dulan praised Wu Ding and his wife for their hard work along the way: "But this is just the beginning, don't be careless."
Fu Hao naturally knew that this was the beginning: "Next, I will take them hunting to ensure that our tribe will not be attacked by wild beasts. At the same time, we will also look for food."
Wu Ding said: "I will teach the remaining people to build houses and refine bronze. These high-rise buildings have become weak and no longer suitable for habitation. We will choose the address of the tribe in the huge Colosseum. There are ready-made
Walls protect us."
They and their wife have already made plans, and they are indeed the most famous rulers of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Dulan knew that after a few hundred years of reproduction and reproduction, this land would be alive again, and after a thousand years, the second generation of civilization would definitely rise from the ground.
The first generation of civilization took a long time to establish. It started with thousands of years of domesticating plants and animals. During this period, society slowly formed. This era can basically only be found from scattered stone tools and pottery.
Understanding it is the source of human society hidden in the fog for future generations.
After humans domesticated staple food and livestock, they entered a social process familiar to humans, and some clearly recorded nations and tribes appeared. The Bible, Homer's epic, Shangshu, Mahabharata, and Gilgamesh appeared.
Epics are written records of people, events, and places that are true or false. Later generations are working hard to excavate ancient monuments to verify whether these events and places are true.
The existence of Fu Hao was unknown to everyone at first, but was only known after digging the grave. At the same time, it also proved that Wu Ding's historical records were credible.
At this time, human society has begun to take shape, and it has grown from a baby waiting to be fed to a child with a certain degree of attack power.
As a result, fighting and destruction have become the main theme of this era. Constant conflicts between different civilizations, coupled with climate change, and the addition of nomads have added a bit of cruelty to this era.
Some civilizations fell and never recovered, such as ancient India, Babylon, and ancient Egypt. These four local native civilizations were severely impacted. Under the double blow of internal and external troubles, the Dark Ages came. This period of history has given mankind
There are not many records left, but it can be regarded as the first exchange of civilizations on earth.
Exchange always includes blood and trade. Obviously, there is no trade in the first exchange, only blood.
After the end of these epic eras, which only exist in books and are difficult to distinguish between true and false, we have truly entered the era of history. After a long period of integration, which is the most brilliant era in the history of human civilization and thought, humans finally began to think about humans and gods.
relationship between people.
Socrates, Confucius, Sakyamuni, and Jewish prophets all began to shine, and began to summarize and innovate local culture, laying the foundation for the thoughts of later generations.
But at the same time, we must also see that Egypt, as the oldest civilization, has declined, and soon they will become the object of continuous conquest. In an era of generous and glorious ideas, no one will care about losers.
If you want civilization to be passed on, you can only become a winner. This is a single-plank bridge.
The main ideas of mankind are based on the Axial Age of more than two thousand years. Of course, mankind later embarked on a technological path, but technology has improved matter and cannot soothe the human soul. Human beings still want to understand the power of the soul.
To gain strength from ancient thought.
Until now, the first-generation civilization has come to an abrupt end. Duran does not want the second-generation civilization to follow the same path as the first-generation civilization. But if he wants to take the second-generation civilization astray, he must first overcome the elimination of chickens.
principle'.
The so-called chicken elimination means that in a large chicken flock, there will be maverick chickens born, such as chickens that are not afraid of weasels, chickens that are not afraid of eagles, and even flying chickens, but these maverick chickens will be naturally eliminated. The remaining chickens will be eliminated naturally.
What comes down are ordinary chickens that can lay eggs and grow meat.
Is this the survival of the fittest in natural evolution? It's obviously not like it, because the maverick chicken has more potential, but it is still eliminated. It is more like bad money driving out good money.
This also exists in other natural groups, especially herbivores, such as zebras. Zebras are blind followers. Once they see any disturbance, all zebra groups will run away. If a zebra stands alone and expresses grass,
Moving does not mean that there are predators, so he refuses to move. This ability of independent thinking is naturally valuable, but the risk of being eaten by a lion is also the greatest. Therefore, zebras that think independently are eaten, and those who blindly follow
of zebras survived.
The same goes for humans. In ancient times, humans did not master stone tools. When they were still monkeys, monkeys with the ability to think independently were already eaten. Therefore, future generations of humans are all descendants of blindly obedient monkeys.
Therefore, the principle of chicken elimination means that when the group is weak, it is impossible to have independent thoughts, and all individuals can only blindly follow to survive. It also means that the second generation civilization will blindly follow the first generation civilization when it is weak, even if the two
The first generation civilization has stopped, but this talent of blind obedience will not disappear, so the second generation civilization is very likely to continue the first generation civilization. This is the problem Dulan faces, how to overcome the second generation civilization's problems.
Blindly following nature makes the second generation civilization different from the first generation civilization.
