The Earth People are so Fierce

Chapter 1943 Doomed to self-destruction

"Because civilization is not innate, let alone necessary, but something that was born when faced with a huge threat, forced to do nothing, and by chance."

Zero said, "On your home planet 'Earth', there was a saying 'born in sorrow, died in peace', which profoundly explained this truth - if you are not shown the imminent threat of death, you will not encourage With all the wisdom, strength and courage, push the entire civilization to an unimaginable peak.

"On this issue, not only you earthlings, but also Turan orcs, Holy Light humans, abyssal demons, undead liches... In short, all humanoid carbon-based intelligent creatures are the same.

"After all, although your soul contains the fire of that great civilization hundreds of millions of years ago.

"But the container you use to carry the fire, the ugly and weak flesh and blood, from the underlying logic, is not fundamentally different from the naked ape thousands of years ago.

"Even if you have entered the age of industrialization and even informationization, you have mastered a lot of mysteries of astronomy and geography, you have learned to master tens of thousands of tons of huge machinery, and you have built a city that looks resplendent and magnificent, the most real appeal in your heart is the same with the naked ape. It’s the same—under the condition of not being threatened by foreign enemies, with the clansmen who are connected by blood, enjoy the warm wind, bask in the sun, and eat all day long, that’s all.

"No, such an appeal is not enough, it is far from enough to push your civilization back on the road to greatness.

"That's why I showed you the cruelest side of this world through my dreams. In this way, I encourage you and all the fire passers to work tirelessly and move forward forever."

"That is to say, what I saw in the doomsday nightmare is just a fictional threat. No matter what, you will not launch a space-based orbital strike to destroy Dragon City civilization?"

Meng Chao stared at Zero, feeling that it was not that simple.

"Of course I will not destroy Dragon City Civilization, Turan Civilization, Holy Light Civilization, or any civilization that has listened to my call and traveled to this planet, no matter how primitive, ignorant, barbaric, backward, or cruel you are, I Neither will destroy you."

Zero showed a chilling smile again.

This smile reminded Meng Chao of his mother suffering from postpartum depression.

"At best, I will purify, reduce pain, and clean up the mess after you embark on the road of self-destruction." Zero said softly.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes again.

"Wait, what are you talking about, what do you mean by 'self-destruction, purification, and cleaning up'?"

"do not you know?"

Zero put on a strange expression, "According to my understanding, you already have high enough authority to know the secrets before and after Dragon City crossing, and also know the ending of your home planet, Earth.

"In that case, how could you not know how simple and inevitable the self-destruction of a civilization is?

"Well, if you really have never been in touch with these materials, or if you deceive yourself and others to turn a blind eye, then I can briefly explain it to you again in the simplest way.

"Yes, the earth, the home planet of all of you Dragon City people, was destroyed in an unprecedented and cruel all-out nuclear war as early as half a century ago.

"Except for a very small number of scientific researchers living on the lunar space station, Dragon City should be the only civilization unit that escaped from Earth in an organized way.

"In fact, it is precisely because a large number of nuclear weapons of hostile forces have been detected that they are attacking overwhelmingly, and the scale and intensity of the war have reached the critical point of destruction. The people on earth chose to put all their eggs in one basket, risking to start the traversal engine that they had not fully mastered, and escaped from the home planet that was about to become **** when all the citizens were not prepared.

"However, this all-out nuclear war is only a symptom of the destruction of civilization, not the cause of it—as early as a century or even two centuries ago, the earth's civilization had already stepped on the road of self-destruction.

"Even if there is no all-out nuclear war, even if there is some omniscient and omnipotent existence that wipes out all nuclear weapons on the earth in an instant, your civilization will still be doomed, and will die a longer and more painful death.

"You should understand what I mean, right?

"Look at the expression, you should understand.

"Although in today's Dragon City, there are many new generations who have never lived on the earth for even a second, and they will very poetically imagine the home planet as a paradise with simple folk customs and a perfect paradise on earth, but from the past half a century I have According to the data collected and analyzed, the facts are far from the same thing.

"A century before the outbreak of a full-scale nuclear war, all the national units under the jurisdiction of the earth's civilization have all fallen into an irreversible and insoluble crisis, and various contradictions have piled up day by day, reaching the point where they are on the verge of collapse.

"The old overlord who once boarded the satellite was gradually controlled and eroded by the chaebol. Less than 1% of the people possessed more than 99% of the wealth, opportunities and resources. They regarded the once great country as a pursuit of their own interests. tool, but unwilling to harm the slightest bit of self-interest for the sake of this country.

"Affected by this, the whole country fell into the chaos of the end of the dynasty, and the chaos of demons dancing wildly-the proliferation of guns, out-of-control drugs, industrial decline, and increasing crime rate.

"It's as if a skyscraper with a solid surface is full of criss-crossing and expanding cracks inside, and the solution that the skyscraper maintainers think of is not to carry out the most thorough overhaul and reinforcement, but in On the facade of the building, there are colorful and shining neon lights winding around and around, using dazzling light to confuse everyone's eyes and cover up the cracks that gradually penetrate the inside and outside.

"And on the opposite side of the old overlord, the challenger who has just risen is not the same-the latter has not completely pushed the old overlord from the throne, but has already been infected with the old overlord's evil disease. In just over a hundred years, the originally endless human resources have been exhausted. As the automation technology with high hopes has fallen into a bottleneck, the consumer market has been sluggish like never before, and there is no new hope in sight.

"Under such circumstances, the all-out nuclear war between the old overlord and the challenger is not so much a soul-stirring epic battle as it is two dying terminally ill patients driven by the desire to survive. Next, in the ugliest gestures, scratching and biting each other trying to survive for a while before the doomed destruction, that's all.

"Ah, judging by your expression, your understanding of this period of history should be more detailed and profound than mine. There should be no need for me to continue, right?"
