Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan took a long breath and clicked on the last and latest report.

"...Golden Sun, friends from the Earth Era, hello everyone."

"It has to be admitted that earth civilization has entered an unprecedented bottleneck period."

The tone of this report is not as peaceful and proud as it was hundreds of years ago, but has become worried.

"Crisis of all kinds has choked us by the throat!"

"Unfortunately to tell you that last month, there was an unprecedented general strike, which stretched over four planets!"

"The anger of the workers burned throughout the solar system. There were two vicious air leaks, 3,439 people died of suffocation, two space cities were paralyzed, and 17 interstellar ports stopped functioning!"

"We expect that because of this terrorist activity, the GDP of the entire civilization will drop by 1.1%!"

"There are also huge demonstrations on the earth. The people at the bottom demand higher wages, better medical services, and lower prices for houses on the earth..."

"Are they wrong? They are not wrong... But obviously, this cannot be done. The highest-end service is destined to be used only by a small number of rich people."

"The high property prices on the earth have long bound the entire financial system, coupled with strong market demand, it is impossible to lower prices at will. All economic behaviors are market-oriented, and there will be no transfer due to the will of the government. What's more, the redistribution of benefits will involve vested interests, including elites who have made more contributions to civilization."

"It is impossible for them to sacrifice their own interests to help others. The obstacles in silence are stronger than the power that erupts."

"Everyone from Earth Times and Golden Sun, I have to admit that this crisis is different from previous ones."

"The tsunami did not come suddenly, but has been brewing for hundreds of years."

“…The government of Titan and the government of Europa have jointly reached an energy production limit agreement in an attempt to increase the price of nuclear fusion raw materials to ease internal economic conflicts.”

"And the earth's economic circle can't bear the vital energy supply, and is being restrained by the other party..."

"Military orders from various countries are increasing at an annual rate of 20%..."

"It's difficult for us to predict what this data will ultimately bring..."

"The most distant Titan base is 6-8 astronomical units away from the earth. It takes one or two months for a spacecraft to travel in the past. Such a huge space gap has caused a series of difficulties in management. The earth's economic circle The influence has been weakened a lot over there."

"We don't know what the future holds, we just hope that our civilization can survive this hurdle..."

"Wars don't happen easily, but they won't happen forever."

This is the latest report, with plenty of political news attached to it.

High-level mutual visits, probing, confrontation, mediation, condemnation, etc. of various planets.

An iron curtain with Mars as the dividing line is falling.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh, and the worst thing happened. Earth civilization has entered a trough.

What caused the outbreak of World War II in the first place? It's because of the economy!

Three wars, four wars? Or because of the energy crisis, resulting in economic problems.

He doesn't think that war can solve the problem. Interstellar weapons have developed so far that they are already very powerful, and destruction is much easier than defense. But I don't think that war will definitely not happen, because war is always the best way to divert class conflicts.

If every politician has the highest level of wisdom, they will soon reach a balance among mutual compromises. But unfortunately, this phenomenon can only happen when both parties have extremely high political intelligence and information is transparent.

The angry people at the bottom don't know what "reason" is at all, and they will vote for some leaders with more extreme ideas because of inflammatory language.

A country is a violent machine, and when it has shown sufficient strength in external conflicts, internal noises are insignificant. In this case extreme means votes. Populism means that you must lead the younger brothers to hammer others. If you fail to hammer others, you will be overthrown from within.

War has not happened for a long time, and many people have long forgotten the cruelty of war, and just feel that they can get something they want through violent means.

The development of history always has its inherent laws. According to the perspective of new civilization historiography, mediocre civilizations do not have enough internal strength, so naturally they cannot escape this law, no matter how advanced the technology is.

Human intelligence and the pursuit of profit in genetic nature are not enough to control the direction of the entire civilization. It means that after long-term development of the entire civilization, the ending will be stable within a local solution, either entering an infinite loop mode, or entering a steady state, surrounded by worse choices, and it is impossible to escape.

This is already the latest report, there is no more.

If you want to know the follow-up, you have to wait.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, not knowing how to describe his current mood.

I still remember the words of that civilization leader when the Earth Age set sail.

"... I hope you can use your wisdom to solve the mediocrity problem that plagues human civilization and even the entire universe..."

"We will use our history to light the way ahead for you."

Now, this piece of history has appeared.

At that time, Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to the speech of the civilized leader, thinking it was just an ordinary speech with mostly formalism, but now, he understands. Pessimists have long expected today's outcome.

Through science and technology, human beings have solved one difficulty after another, from interstellar immigration, to aging, to the problem of raising babies, to the relationship between man and machine...

People overcame countless difficulties and walked tremblingly to today.

But history has been repeating itself since the dawn of time. When the times are good, everyone enjoys drinking and talking happily, and when the times are bad, they part ways and have too much time to take care of themselves. After living a comfortable life for a long time, you will not live a hard life, so in order to live a good life again, you start to raise the banner of selfishness to devour others.

This is human beings.

Marx explained very early on that it is impossible for human beings to continue the technological revolution. Therefore, this time the crisis has been difficult to solve with technology.

Unless human beings invent curvature spaceships in an instant, can reach alien planets in an instant, find another earth, and open up larger colonies, can the current crisis be resolved.

However, the current human beings cannot...

Zhang Yuan sighed again, sat on the stool silently, and closed his eyes.

I hope that the civilization of the earth can get through this difficulty safely.

hope.
