"Science" has no connotation of praise or criticism, it is just a method of understanding the world and researching problems. To give a simple example, when people say that Chinese medicine is not a science, there is no derogatory meaning at all, because it itself is a method of accumulating experience. But saying that Chinese medicine is completely ineffective is slander in vain.

Leaving aside the issues in this regard, at least scientism is more in line with objective laws than empiricism, and can promote the development of productive forces, which is enough.

As far as the current Taipu civilization is concerned, since the world is divided into more than a thousand countries, large and small, and each of them identifies with different cultures, it has become very difficult to truly unify the world and generate cohesion that belongs to the entire civilization.

Under this premise, the professor on the stage came to such a conclusion: "...so we speculate that in the next few hundred years, Tep star will not be fully integrated. It is possible that there will be a similar The countries of the Xia Kingdom on the earth, unite with several big countries, and rush out of their own planet."

"As for the remaining countries, those that should be abandoned can only be abandoned."

"This is just one of the possibilities... It is more likely that they will not be able to break out of their own planet, or even have a way to produce controlled nuclear fusion, and become a mediocre civilization that stands still."

At this point in the deduction, many people sighed silently.

The reason why in the 20th and 21st centuries of mankind, various major powers aided countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America just to obtain economic growth points. If there are not enough benefits, why should they aid? If it really reaches the point where it can develop alien planets, the cake that can be shared is too big, and there is no need to consider the issue of the game within the planet, and there is no need to pay attention to the life and death of poor and small countries. It is too late for us to develop space, who will care about the poverty and backwardness on the other side of the planet?

A little humanitarian help is actually useless. If the overall cultural level is not good, and the spiritual core is not good, this kind of country will not be able to rise after all.

Between culture and culture, there is a distinction between advanced and barbaric. If a certain culture cannot promote the progress of the entire society, it is likely to be a dross culture. The most important thing is whether the people have the courage to abandon it.

"The above is the general history of Tep civilization." The scientist bowed slightly, and then stepped off the stage.

This piece of historical data is of great help to the history of new human civilization. It is not like the Riley civilization. It is just some religious classics. It is specific to certain years, and the emergence of certain heroes also includes certain ideologies. The birth is truly valuable.

Many historians of new civilizations have begun to enthusiastically calculate, deduce, verify this discipline, and at the same time predict how this civilization should take the next step.

Immediately afterwards, another geologist came to the stage and gave an important survey result: "Analysis of the Possibility Traces of the Enlightenment Civilization on Tap Planet".

This result directly aroused the interest of many people, and even Zhang Yuan was shocked.

Li Zhendong said on the side: "I can basically deduce the behavior style of the enlightener civilization. They usually predict what kind of difficulties will arise when a certain civilization develops to a certain stage. Then, in response to this difficulty, give a little Small help."

"As for this civilization, they don't care whether it can develop to this stage and cross this hurdle. The difficulties encountered by the Taipu civilization... There are many, really many!"

"It should be like this." A deputy captain next door responded, "There are so many civilizations in the universe, how can we take care of them all?"

And the opinions of a large number of human scientists are also the same, so, it is emphatically inspecting the difficulties faced by the Tep civilization.

The first is the integration of civilizations. Judging from the results, the Taipu civilization is completely divided. More than a thousand countries have developed to the present, and there is no possibility of integration.

Therefore, it can be considered that the enlightener civilization did not pay attention to this point, or that some measures were taken, but ultimately failed.

Secondly, the second point is that industrial problems in high-gravity environments, especially heavy industries, seem to be struggling and developing slowly. Don't look at them being able to manufacture large airships and large ships, but the whole process took more than ten times the time of human beings!

Originally, after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, science and technology should have developed rapidly. As a result, the Taipu people discovered that the power of machines was not as good as that of traditional livestock. It took them hundreds of years to improve the steam engine.

"This problem is easy to understand." A mechanical expert explained, "A simple example is a steam turbine, a rotary steam power device. Under different gravity environments, the flow direction of steam is greatly different, and the pressure flow needs to be changed to If the flow is gravity flow, the impeller should be changed accordingly to ensure the force balance.”

The higher the gravity, the more difficult and complex it is for heavy industry.

The reason why the heavy industry was relocated to other low-gravity planets in the late stage of the earth's civilization is because the low-gravity environment itself has its own advantages. For example, in a zero-gravity environment, 3D printing perfect metal products does not need to be welded at the key points, and the joints are directly cut and pressed together to fuse. This technology can be used for high-precision metal products or jewelry inlays, and can also be used for Industrial production of integrated metal casings.

But on Earth, it's impossible to do that.

The gravity of Tep star is far superior to that of the earth, and all kinds of equipment can only be made very rough, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the performance is not high.

This is the second difficulty encountered by Tai Pu civilization.

The third difficulty is that this large planet actually lacks rare earth elements!

This is almost a fatal blow for some cutting-edge industries!

"We investigated the technological system of the Taipu civilization and found that this planet lacks rare earths! Especially heavy rare earths!"

There are two types of rare earths, one is heavy rare earth and the other is light rare earth. Heavy rare earths are more important and more valuable than light rare earths.

The land area of ​​this planet far exceeds that of the earth, but it lacks rare earth raw materials, which makes it difficult to improve the performance of many materials.

The geologist, playing a simulation video of the natural birth of the planet on the screen, explained: "Why is there a shortage of rare earths? It is mainly because of high gravity... Everyone knows that most rare earths are of relatively large atomic weight Heavy elements tend to accumulate over time and sink to the underground core."

This planet is too big, has too much gravity, and has existed for more than five billion years, which has caused a large number of heavy elements to sink to the ground. Therefore, the proportion of heavy rare earths in the crust is lower than that of the earth.

Then of course the Tep people will be miserable.

Zhang Yuan sighed: "If this civilization can mine the earth's core, then there is no shortage of rare earths, but the problem is that even we don't have the technology to mine the earth's core, and of course they can't."

In fact, even the amount of gold, silver, copper, and iron is even rarer in the crust of Tep Star. Fortunately, these are common minerals after all, and they are distributed on the surface with a large base, which does not affect normal development.

But without rare earths, it would be fatal, greatly delaying the development of cutting-edge technology.
