Chapter 237: Footsteps of History

In the past, the residential community in ancient times was a tribal system with clan as the unit, distributed in dots on the habitable zone.

Because of the comfortable environment, coupled with the long sleep time and short waking time, it is very difficult to launch a war, and there are no ambitious figures in the entire civilization.

Therefore, during the hundreds of thousands of years of ancient times, there has never been a unified community, nor has a large country been formed.

This split situation is actually quite unfavorable to the development of a civilization. Without too much communication, communication, and trade, at most they only rely on some "bard" connections. Civilization is like a pool of stagnant water. How can there be changes?

It is no wonder that the Gliese civilization has been in a state of ignorance for hundreds of thousands of years before the appearance of the "enlightenment". But now it is different, as time goes by, the Gliesers are more and more fond of these elegant "arts" with almost unlimited potential!

They began to yearn spontaneously for the place where the "initiator" once stayed—the so-called holy mountain, the city of Goer!

Especially some smart Gliese people, after making new academic discoveries, are eager to communicate with more smart people. The number of geniuses in a tribe is always only a few. When communicating with idiots, if the other party does not understand, it will not be so refreshing.

Thus, a mighty great migration happened spontaneously!

It has to be said that this kind of social change is very peculiar and fundamentally different from that of human beings. Human beings gather together for a better survival, but Gliese people gather for a better discussion of "art"!

More and more tribes gather in the "Holy Mountain", not only will there be collisions of ideas, but also various contradictions, frictions and related trade activities will naturally occur.

When the population exceeds 50,000, the rules and regulations, morality, and production methods of primitive tribes are no longer able to accommodate such a large population, and naturally greater changes are needed.

Therefore, under this historical background, the first recognized wise man in the entire civilization, the great man of the age named "Gando", came late.

"Gando", the most intelligent wise man at that time, a great mathematician, the discoverer of the law of buoyancy, an agriculturist, and the first governor of Gore City, guided the development of various agriculture and fed more people.

Great men are called great because they look far beyond the limitations of their time.

Gando is deeply aware of the limitations of his own civilization. Compared with the civilization of the great enlightener, this flaw is really big and a bit scary.

Because the Inspirer never rests!

But the Gliese had to sleep for ten days, and then they woke up for two days. Everyone sleeps when they want to sleep, and wakes up when they think about it.

This kind of work and rest habit makes the organization of the entire civilization extremely poor, and it becomes very difficult to even educate the next generation.

Just imagine, even in the last school, the sobriety period of the students was scattered, how could it be possible to pass on knowledge on a large scale? Are you all self-taught?

Coupled with the fact that the ideology of civilization tends to be lazy, it is really...too difficult to become a powerful civilization like the "inspirer".

As the first consul in the city of Goer, Gando worked hard to issue a series of policies, unifying weights and measures, currency, developing agriculture, and perfecting the corresponding laws.

The most controversial is a policy on the work and rest system.

Gan Duo believes that only when the work and rest of all Gliese people are unified can they concentrate their efforts on major tasks and make Goer City even stronger!

This is a very simple truth, but it is extremely difficult, really difficult...

A natural government that has not been unified by violence and is elected by popular votes can exert very little power, and how strong is its executive ability?

When witnessing this period of history, Zhang Yuan was deeply moved. The difference between civilizations is really too big!

Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, people on earth have a natural routine of work and rest, so there is no need for unity at all.

Even all creatures on the earth have their own routines due to the rotation of the planet.

As a result, this civilization is not good, the planet is tidally locked, there is eternal twilight outside, and the light inside the underground city is always dim. Coupled with the relatively safe environment, they have no concept of time at all.

What kind of "regular work and rest" is it against nature!

Keeping people from sleeping is no different from dying!

Gando, the wise man who tried to violate his "nature", has made great contributions to civilization and has a high prestige, but he has also accumulated many political enemies during his century-old ruling career. When it enforced the policy of unified work and rest, it was finally seized by the political opponents. The angry crowd drove the consul out of office almost in a gesture of riot.

"Ganduo" spent the rest of his life in ups and downs, no tribe dared to accept it, and no tribe accepted any regular work and rest.

Zhang Yuan heard two scientists around them whispering, "Gore City...is that the underground city where our diplomatic team is staying?"

"Yeah, it should be the most powerful city in this civilization... the center of science and culture."

The progress of history is tortuous.

It was not until the end... when the "regular work and rest system" was really born, that the wise man named Gando was renamed by later generations.

It's just that it has been many, many years since the death of this great man...

Zhang Yuan sighed slightly, why not human beings?

Socrates was sentenced to death by a people's court. Facing the threat of death, he did not flinch, leaving only a famous saying: "Now, the time has come for us to part. I am going to die, and you continue to live; however, no one knows Which of these two outcomes is more pleasant, except God."

Giordano Bruno, facing the raging fire and the crazy and fierce believers, rebuked the Holy Court forcefully: "When the sentence was announced against me, you were much more afraid than I accepted the sentence!"

***Impassioned at the gallows...

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman. Ideas beyond the times are not always easy to accept.

Li Zhendong, who was sitting next to him, commented: "Hey, but it's not surprising if you think about it...Life is always used to staying in one's comfort zone, and you are not so willing to change. If you make you turn upside down for no reason, you will definitely not accept."

Li Zhendong said: "Hey, in fact, I pay more attention to the civilization named 'Enlightenment', which completely changed the historical process of the Gliese civilization in a way of four or two. The Enlightenment...how should I do something? Is it a good thing?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "The good or bad state of a civilization can only be measured by the entropy function, which is a bit complicated to calculate. However, I also think that the enlightener has done a good thing."

"But the darling of a planet is not the darling of the universe. The ultimate creature on the planet is probably just a junior in the universe..."

"...Evolution has always only evolved to the point where it is sufficient, but not to perfection. When it is sufficient, the evolution will stagnate..."

"Our human body structure has not changed for a long, long time..."

Compared with the earth, the survival pressure of the Gliese civilization is too small, and the comfort zone is too comfortable. Change is very, very difficult.

The following history is simple. After the wise man "Ganduo" was exiled, because the work and rest habits of all the population have never been unified, there is no way to concentrate on major tasks, and all kinds of chaos are still going on...
