Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh and clicked on the last, which was the latest report.

"...Hello everyone, friends of Earth Age, Golden Sun."

"We have to admit that the earth's civilization has entered an unprecedented bottleneck period."

The tone of this report is no longer as peaceful and proud as it was hundreds of years ago, but has become worried.

"All kinds of crises have strangled our throats!"

"I'm sorry to tell you that last month, an unprecedented strike occurred, which lasted four planets!"

"The workers' anger burned into the entire solar system, and two vicious air leakage occurred. 3,439 people suffocated and died. Two space cities were paralyzed, and 17 interstellar ports stopped operating!"

"We expect that because of this terrorist activity, the GDP of the entire civilization will drop by 1.1% as a result!"

"There are also huge parades on the earth. The people at the bottom have demanded higher salaries, better medical services, and demanded that houses on the earth have reduced the price..."

"Are they wrong? They are not wrong...but obviously, this cannot be done. The highest-end service is destined to be used by only a small number of rich people."

"The high housing prices on the earth have long bound the entire financial system. Coupled with the strong market demand, it is impossible to reduce prices at will. All economic behaviors are market-oriented and there is no transfer due to the will of the government. What's more, redistribution of interests will involve vested interests, including elites who have made more contributions to civilization."

"They cannot sacrifice their own interests to help others. The obstacles in silence are stronger than the power that bursts out."

"Dear friends of Earth Age and Golden Sun, I have to admit that this crisis is different from the past."

"The tsunami did not come suddenly, but was brewing for hundreds of years."

“…The Titan government and the Europa government have jointly reached an energy production restriction agreement to try to increase the price of nuclear fusion raw materials to alleviate internal economic conflicts.”

"The earth's economic circle naturally cannot tolerate the crucial energy supply and is subject to the restraint of the other party..."

“Military orders from various countries are increasing at a rate of 20% per year…”

“We have no idea what this data will eventually bring…”

"The farthest Titan base is 6-8 astronomical units from the earth. It took a spacecraft one or two months to go. Such a huge space interval has caused a series of management difficulties. The influence of the Earth's economic circle has been greatly weakened there."

"We don't know what the future will be, we just hope that our civilization can pass this level safely..."

"Wars won't happen easily, but they won't happen forever."

This is the latest report, accompanied by a lot of political news.

The mutual visits, temptations, confrontations, mediation, condemnation, etc. from the top leaders of each planet.

An iron curtain with Mars as the dividing line is falling.

Zhang Yuan sighed long and said, "The worst thing happened. Earth civilization entered a trough."

At that time, what was the reason for the outbreak of World War II? It was because of the economy!

Three battles, four battles? Or economic problems caused by the energy crisis.

He did not think that war could solve problems. As the interstellar weapons have developed to this day, they are already very powerful, and destruction is much easier than defense. But he also did not think that war would not happen, because war is always the best way to transfer class contradictions.

If every politician has the best wisdom, he will soon reach a balance in mutual compromise. Unfortunately, this phenomenon will only occur if both sides have extremely high political wisdom and information is transparent.

The angry lower class people have no idea what "reason" is, and they will vote for leaders with more extreme ideas because of incitement language.

The state is a violent machine. When it shows enough strength in external conflicts, the internal noise is insignificant. In this case, extreme means votes. Popularism means that you must lead your younger brothers to hammer others. If you don’t hammer others, you will be overthrown by the internal one.

The war has not happened for a long time. Many people have long forgotten the cruelty of war and just feel that they can obtain what they want through violent means.

The development of history always has its own internal laws. According to the view of the new civilization history, mediocre civilizations do not have enough internal strength and naturally cannot break away from this law. No matter how advanced technology is, it cannot do it.

Human wisdom and the pursuit of profit in genetic nature are not enough to control the direction of the entire civilization. It means that after long-term development, the outcome of the entire civilization will be steady in a local solution, either entering an infinite loop mode or entering a steady state, and there will be worse choices around it, and it will never be possible to break out.

This is the latest report, no more.

If you want to know the follow-up, you have to continue waiting.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and didn't know how to describe his current mood.

I remember the words of the civilized leader when the Earth Age set sail.

"...I hope you can use your wisdom to solve the mediocrity that plagues human civilization and even the entire universe..."

"We will use our own history to illuminate the road ahead of you."

Now, this period of history has emerged.

At that time, Zhang Yuan didn't care much about the speech of the civilized leader, thinking that it was just an ordinary speech mostly based on formalism, but now, he understands that the pessimists had long anticipated the ending today.

Through technology, humans have solved one difficulty after another, from interstellar immigration to aging, to baby raising problems, to human-machine relationships...

People have overcome countless difficulties and have come to this day with fear.

But history has been replaying. When life is better, everyone drinks and talks happily, and when it is not easy, they part ways and can't take care of themselves. After life is comfortable for too long, they will not live a hard life. So in order to live a good life again, they start to raise the banner of selfishness to devour others.

This is humanity.

Marx explained very early that humans could not keep the technological revolution. Therefore, this crisis is difficult to solve with technology.

Unless humans invent the curvature spacecraft in an instant, can reach the alien planet in an instant, find another earth, and open up a larger colony, the current crisis can be solved.

However, humans cannot...

Zhang Yuan sighed again, sat silently on the stool, and closed his eyes.

I hope that the earth's civilization can overcome this difficulty safely.

Hope it.
