Chapter 1508 Laws of Civilization
Jiang Yanhai is constantly improving new aircraft in the illusion simulation program, mainly for nuclear-powered aircraft. Of course, these aircraft are not for combat.
To be honest, there are enough combat aircraft, and the Phantom is advanced enough. So far, even the first-generation Phantom created by Jiang Yanhai can't solve it, let alone the latest Phantom.
The weapons and equipment don't need to be too advanced, as long as they are advanced enough, as long as they maintain the leading suppression of the enemy's weapons.
In such a state, both sides have big killers. In fact, it is impossible for a war to break out, especially a war between these big countries is impossible.
In the absence of war, it is obviously more important to conduct research on improving one's own national strength, because it means that one's own country's national strength will be greatly improved, which is an improvement from the basic technological level.
In particular, there are too many things representing energy in the entire planetary system. The most basic one is helium 3 on the moon. Now that the end of controllable nuclear fusion has been solved by Jiang Yanhai and others, then as the most perfect controllable nuclear fusion, helium 3 and helium 3 reaction fusion, that's what is required.
Although what international law stipulates, the resources in space belong to all mankind. However, this kind of agreement and various international organizations and the like, don't they just withdraw? Retiring next door is as casual as going to the bathroom.
This world is like what is described in a science fiction novel. In fact, even if it is the law of the dark forest, even if it is not so cruel, it is actually the same, that is, the big fist is the last word!
Don't think this is difficult to understand. Human nature is to be afraid of all unknown things. Fear comes from the unknown. Why are primitive humans cautious when exploring the forest, because if they are not careful, they will die.
They can't help but be careless. Similarly, on a larger scale, the same is true of human civilization. If a civilization is not careful, it will really disappear all at once.
Don’t think that people will do civilized things when they reach a certain level of civilization. Could it be that during the Age of Discovery, human beings were still barbaric? No, but where are the Indians now? There are many?
And how many Aboriginal humans are there in Australia?
Speaking of everything, it is that sentence, as long as your fist is big enough, you can solve everything.
Jiang Yanhai still vaguely remembered the first time he led people to detect the star gate. How careful was Jiang Yanhai when he detected it? It can be said that all the worst ideas have been prepared, and all preparations are made in the worst way.
Because everyone knows that human civilization itself is actually fragile. The simplest point is that sometimes a single virus may wipe out tens of millions or hundreds of millions of human beings. This point should always be cautious.
In the world of Great Qin, Song, and the Red Star Republic where Jiang Yanhai is located, the reason why these civilizations dare to contact them is not just because they look exactly like humans, or they are also humans.
Then I have the same historical experience as them, and then I can contact them with confidence.
Not this.
One of the most critical factors that really allowed Jiang Yanhai and the others to contact with peace of mind is that the current civilization of the earth is equal to or even higher in technology than the other side. This is the confidence!
The previous leaders have said that if unity is sought through struggle, unity will survive, and if unity is sought through compromise, unity will perish!
I believe that everyone can understand the meaning of this sentence. Only when you have a struggle with the other party can you seek unity with the other party. Even if your strength is weaker than the opponent, at least you can't be much weaker than the opponent.
If you are much weaker than the other party, do you use compromise to ask the other party to unite with you? Stop it, it's impossible.
In the long history, how many historical events have verified the existence of this sentence.
In the most typical dynasty, the Song Dynasty, how many times did the entire dynasty compromise and negotiate with the outside world, and what was the final result?
Compared with another dynasty, Daming, although there were negotiations from the beginning to the end, but to be honest, everyone knows how miserable the emperor of the Ming Dynasty died, and what period was the entire dynasty of the Ming Dynasty in? During the Little Ice Age, there were countless natural and man-made disasters.
If the Ming Dynasty had an economic base like that of the Song Dynasty, would the nomads want to come in? Stop messing around, it's impossible.
Although it shows that the demise of the dynasty is not just an economic issue, but if the economy does not have problems, I really don't know what the Ming Dynasty will look like after another hundred years.
Maybe it will be direct capitalism.
The sprouts of capitalism appeared in the Song Dynasty, but later disappeared because of the emergence of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sprouts of capitalism appeared again because of a large number of land annexations.
If it can continue, I really don't know what will happen.
These examples illustrate the importance of these two sentences.
For example, if the civilization of the mechanical octopus that Jiang Yanhai is tracking now is the other party after the star gate, Jiang Yanhai and the others will be much less willing to contact the other party, and the result may not be perfect.
At the most basic level, communication problems are difficult to solve.
Even in the face of a civilization like the prophet's world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to negotiate.
Of course, if the other party can't come, then the negotiation can still be negotiated.
These all illustrate a point.
Any compromise and unity, negotiation comes from struggle, not blind concession.
As everyone knows, the famous Princess Wencheng in history can be said to be an example of marriage in history, as famous as Zhaojun going out of the fortress.
Songtsan Gampo has always wanted to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he has always been a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, but did he kneel and lick Li Shimin all the way to marry the princess?
No, it's not.
Just kidding, do you think that any princess in the Tang Dynasty could marry anyone? what are you thinking.
So Songtsan Gampo used a trick in order to marry a wife. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had many conflicts with countries in the Western Regions, so Songtsan Gampo just said, either you give me a princess as a wife, or I will fuck you with other Western Region countries.
Anyway, for countries like these, it is actually very difficult for Datang to completely occupy them. If you can't beat Lao Tzu, you just have to run away. These nomads have long been used to it.
Moreover, it is a problem for modern humans to climb to the plateau, let alone in ancient times.
It is almost impossible to occupy there on a large scale, which is why Songtsen Gampo has no fear.
What can Li Shimin do? There is no way, he can only give.
Even so, although Songtsan Gampo married a princess from the Tang Dynasty in the end, it was not Li Shimin's daughter, but a distant relative of the Li clan who was named a princess.
