"We must not just think about today and hope that future generations will be wiser and can solve the historical problems we have left behind."
They actually calmed down from their ecstasy.
I am keenly aware that after enjoying this kind of sudden wealth, I may lose the ability to study on my own in the future.
The vast majority of lottery winners end up bankrupt.
Ji Chen nodded and looked at them with appreciation.
They are all visionaries.
Their concerns are justified.
Having a pan-trade market system will speed up the process of civilization.
Because it is too easy to obtain other resources and other technologies, it will distort a civilization over time, make it lazy, and make its evolutionary path incomplete.
So much so that there will be that kind of deformed civilization that even though it has set foot in the interstellar world, it is still a nomadic society!
He named and criticized the predator civilization that he had just kneeled down.
The science and technology tree is ridiculously biased, with powerful battleships from advanced civilizations, but other sciences are almost at a standstill.
Even if they have been fighting all year round, they only have the war wisdom of nomads, like lining up in a line, firing up cannons upright, and standing with armor.
Moreover, they cannot obtain a large amount of food, alloys, energy coins, minerals, and various rare and important resources by themselves, nor can they complete scientific and technological progress by themselves.
For another example, Africa has jumped directly from tribes to countries, but they still do not have independent scientific research capabilities and the ability to maximize land resources.
Give them tanks, and they won't be able to complete the infantry-tank synergy!
However, they have no right to choose at all.
Ji Chen calmed down and knew that they could not refuse.
Having it and not using it are two different things.
These elders themselves knew that they were just thinking about the consequences and were afraid of an accident and could not bear it.
...........
at the same time.
The Trisolarans have been observing Ji Chen steadily.
"it's wired."
Observer No. 3 sent out confused brain waves.
Although he was not an official observer before, as a member of the monitoring system, he often saw Ji Chen.
Why has Ji Chen been lying down without any movement since last night?
He had never slept for so long before.
I get up every once in a while, and then I seem to be in contact with something.
"Weird things need to be reported."
He immediately uploaded the information using brainwaves.
Afraid of being punished like No. 2 for being late.
.............
"But we have no choice at all. Having it and not using it are two different things."
"If you have it, you will definitely use it. If you hear about it in the morning, you will die in the evening. Scientists cannot bear this temptation."
"Let's do it step by step. Let's capture this fleet first. We will formulate laws later. Don't keep the alien guests waiting for too long."
They thought a lot in an instant, and their thoughts collided fiercely.
And Ji Chen also answered at this moment, dispelling all their doubts.
"Hahaha, you are indeed the civilization I like. I admire you very much for passing my test."
"If it were other low-level civilizations like you, they would definitely not think about the consequences and would lick me and complete this deal at all costs."
Ji Chen praised them and did not hide his friendship with Yan Guo.
This surprised them but also made them feel normal. It was also normal for the other party's technical ability to master their secret communications.
"I understand your worries."
"I have only had contact with you so far, because I only appreciate the civilization of your Yan Kingdom, which is long and long. Your civilization is like art, and your sages are worth singing and crying. Do you know? Some of the works of your sages, For example, "The Art of War" is a classic even among the stars. It explains certain essences and has a place to be used. There are also "Tao Te Ching" and "Book of Changes" that explain the essence of things and can be regarded as pioneers..."
They were flattered by such comments and their faces were full of excitement.
Although the material gap between them and aliens is so huge.
But can they be regarded as the pioneers of aliens at a spiritual level?
Ye Wenjie was even more shocked.
Is the civilization of Yan State so good?
Trisolarans, including themselves, all think it is dirty!
Why does this civilization, which seems to be more developed than the Trisolarans, praise the Yan Kingdom so much?
Do you even feel like you are a pioneer even in the stars?
"Is it true? The works written thousands of years ago are still useful even in the starry age?
Now even in our civilization, some people even think that Sun Wu is just a higher level than most people of his generation, but today, he is a person who doesn't understand anything. It is said that Sun Tzu's Art of War has been exaggerated. The gap between carriages and tanks, bows and missiles, smoke and networks is too great, and it is no longer applicable to today.
If he is still a wise man today, it only shows that human civilization has not developed for thousands of years, which is quite sad. "
Ye Wenjie couldn't help but ask.
"Then it can only be said that this kind of person is quite sad, very arrogant, arrogant and ignorant!
With the advancement of science and technology, there are more means of combat, but the situation of interests in the specific battlefield environment has not changed. It still involves how to comprehensively utilize the means of combat. It is still necessary to focus on strengths and avoid weaknesses, make good use of the strengths of each arm, and use the least amount of effort. Loss leads to victory.
Doesn’t he know that your current military reforms are based on Sun Tzu’s above-mentioned ideas?”
Ji Chen snorted disdainfully, showing emotion for the first time.
He knows a piece of history.
In modern times, military academies were even fully westernized and used foreign teaching materials.
That was entirely because of the waste of the late Qing Dynasty, who forcibly found reasons to blame the failure on Yan Guo's backward military science.
What is extremely ironic is that when some international students went to Germany, the Germans asked them what they came to study.
The answer is: Learn strategy and tactics.
The Germans laughed loudly: The main teaching material of our military academy is your "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Why go to the West to learn from it?
The reality is.
Napoleon once took "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and couldn't put it down.
The Kaiser regretted reading "The Art of War" too late.
On the title page of his masterpiece "Strategy", Hart listed Sun Tzu's quotations not only at the top of the quotations from military strategists, but also accounted for 15 of the 21 quotations!
Yingjiang's strategists realized from the thoughts of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that Yingjiang's "guaranteed destruction" strategy was a failed strategy.
Foster, the director of the Stanford Research Center for Strategic Research and a first-class strategist, first proposed and collaborated with Osamu Miyoshi, a professor at Tokyo Sangyo University, to study the new strategy against the Soviet Union using "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which he called " Sun Tzu’s Nuclear Strategy.”
Even now, "The Art of War" is among the top ten sales all year round.
And he had just used the principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War to defeat the predator civilization by defeating the weak against the strong.
He even feels that "The Art of War" may have been over-rated in ancient times, but the closer it is to modern times, the more relevant it becomes.
Contrary to the intuitive understanding of many people who have never read it, "The Art of War" is not about various conspiracies, false and empty strategies, or various specific tactics.
Instead, he summarized the basic rules of victory and defeat in war and wrote down the rules of the interaction of world resources!
It talks about how to calmly understand the enemy's situation, compare the objective conditions of the enemy and ourselves, compare the objective environment, how to actively create conditions that are beneficial to us, how to maximize our resource conditions, and how to use them most reliably through war. methods to promote victory.
Listening to Ji Chen's story, the people present were shocked again.
This alien is really incredible. I don’t know how long he has been secretly observing the Yan Kingdom. He knows a lot about the Yan Kingdom’s culture and even their current military construction!
Fortunately there was no animosity.
If there were, they would not have the slightest chance of winning in the face of aliens whose matter and thought had reached a certain level.
"Don't talk about this."
Ji Chen changed the topic and said that there would be no end to the entanglement on this. Yan Guo had too many things worth praising.
"You don't have to worry about playing with fire, because being a hawker is just one of my professions. You can also call me a pioneer of civilization!"
"Pioneer of civilization?"
"The person who leads the way for civilization?"
"Sure enough, the hawker was just joking, but he was actually trying to guide our civilization into a new era?"
"I just don't know what price we need to pay for this. Should we become their vassals in the future? Or join them?"
Everyone's breathing is getting heavier.
