[Chapter 307] Expansion Du Jin From the words before the black blood seal, we can roughly understand what the civilization it means symbolizes. If they can travel across dimensions, it means that the multidimensional space is no longer for them. is an obstacle.
And if they can obtain the resources of planets in various dimensions, they will no longer need all kinds of energy, because it can be as convenient as mining on this planet. In this way, the survival of the entire civilization has been completely guaranteed, and internal wars and invasions may completely disappear. Their only goal may be to explore other universes. After all, the types and characteristics of resources at different latitudes are completely different. Maybe the same nuclear energy can only release 1:1 efficiency in the original world, but uses raw materials from other latitudes. It may be possible to increase the release efficiency to 1:10 or even higher. Because of this, the universe is a symbol of infinite possibilities and will attract the instinct of living things to occupy it.
But judging from the sudden change in tone of the black blood seal, Du Jin knew that the civilization it was talking about had probably declined and was unable to maintain its huge scale. As for the possible reasons for this, Du Jin had no way of guessing. After all, this There is no difference between civilization and the gods in Du Jin's eyes. One of them, fully armed, can even beat the world from beginning to end. It is difficult for him to think of anything else that can make this level of civilization other than internal disputes. decline.
After all, the more powerful a country is, the price it needs to pay to break it from the outside is far beyond imagination. But if it disintegrates from the inside, no matter how powerful the giant is, it will not be able to withstand this kind of internal decline. Eventually, the contradictions caused internally will be reflected on the outside. The final result is either that one party achieves an absolute victory and the country is reshuffled, or that external forces take advantage of the situation when internal conflicts erupt and lead to a decline in overall strength, taking advantage of the situation and obtaining maximum results at the minimum cost.
It has to be said that the black blood seal aroused Du Jin's curiosity. The rise and fall of this level of civilization is much more valuable than the strength of the civilization itself.
"The species of this civilization is not you humans, but it is undeniable that it has many similarities with you humans, such as expansion in nature. It has the same desire for expansion as humans. I know very well that human civilization is a Expanding civilization, starting from the tribal era, human beings have been constantly seeking expansion using large and small community structures as the basic unit, until there is a group in every land that has expanded to the level of a state machine. At this point, although there are disputes between countries , but the era of geographical expansion has basically come to an end. The large empires that expanded again were basically limited to their ruling capabilities at that time and eventually collapsed. As for why, I believe you already have the answer, Du Jin." Du Jin heard the sudden rhetorical question from the black blood seal. , after thinking for a few seconds, he said tentatively: "Uh... is it profit, or energy?"
"Yes and no, it's about maximizing the interests of a certain type of group!" Black Blood Seal paused, and then continued to talk about his understanding: "The expansion of every civilization is not civilized at all. These processes are actually extremely The cruel, violent, and bloody history represents the plundering and extermination of the weak by the strong. But if you want to ask, why do we have to move towards civilization in this form? It can only be said that human beings do not pursue civilization, but only pursue civilization. Maximize the interests of one's own community. Civilization is only a means to maintain the stability of one's own community structure. It is a derivative of interest demands. The reason is that one party must have a production method that is advanced than others, have common beliefs, and have Only by having ethics and etiquette to ensure that there are no problems with the internal unity can we more effectively and powerfully obtain benefits by expanding ourselves. This is the essence of civilization. Therefore, in a broad sense, civilization is actually a scope A limited civilization is the civilization of one's own people. It is a means to maintain the community, but it is by no means the purpose of the community itself. Its purpose has always been only profit, only expansion, bloody expansion. I do not deny that this kind of greed has changed from weakness to The beginning of strength is often the starting point of decline." Du Jin listened to Black Blood Seal's angry and regretful tone. He didn't know whether this was its true expression, but an emotional disguise that he couldn't judge, but Black Blood Seal What he said gave him an almost brand-new understanding of how to deal with the world. Originally, he was slightly naive and thought that as long as the entire technological productivity of the world was continuously improved to fully meet the needs of human beings around the world, the source of war would naturally arise. If it is controlled, in this case, facing the invasion of blood seal, we can work together to fight and defend our homeland in this world.
But at this moment, Du Jin listened to Black Blood Seal's evaluation and understanding of human beings and the civilization he talked about. His first reaction was not that Black Blood Seal's evaluation was too absolute and pessimistic, but that he had underestimated human nature. If based on resources, Let alone the cosmic civilization mentioned by Black Blood Seal, the current Blue Star itself is enough, but these resources cannot be equally divided among everyone. Powerful countries and individuals can naturally occupy the majority by virtue of their own strength and influence. , just like Country M, when Xia Country needs to get the world out of this situation of being at its mercy and enter a new world order with reasonable distribution, conflicts will inevitably occur.
Humanity's demand for energy and resources is almost infinitely expanding. If we only look at the total amount, no matter how much energy and industrial products are produced, it will not be able to satisfy the appetite of a capital country like Country M. It will only want to let The party that produces resources all gives it away.
