Chapter 283 Epic of Civilization

… Four thousand years have passed since the emergence of writing in the Nix civilization. The long night finally saw the dawn of light because of the emergence of "electricity".

But after four thousand years, many religious people, including a large number of civilians and rulers, have deeply rooted in the worship of "magma".

The energy of electricity is ultimately magma, so it did not cause cognitive confusion.

Magma is like the "fire" and "sun" of ancient humans to the Nix civilization, or even better, like a true belief.

Magma is something that the Nix people can get close to, and it is the source of their life! According to the chemical level at that time, it is impossible for something to burn for so many years, but magma... did it!

Therefore, this misunderstanding made the Nix people generally believe that there is a "first mover" that makes the endless magma so hot.

This first mover can only be attributed to the "gods" themselves.

This is a deep-rooted inherent culture, a ghost hidden in the mind, and a mindset.

But the sage class, that is, the scientist class, tried to attribute this energy to the atom itself, and even believed that atoms can be divided! Energy can be obtained by dividing atoms!

This result... seems to deny the gods!

Yes, this kind of thought is completely "blasphemous"!

When Dilan was alive, because of the great reputation of this great sage and his social skills, religious people were restrained and did not dare to make small moves.

But after Dilan passed away, no one suppressed him. A famous scientist who studied "atoms can be divided" was thrown into the magma lake by crazy religious people!

The sage class was angry and repressed. This class that has been detached from the world since ancient times has launched an unprecedented class war with religion, known as the "Science and Technology Renaissance Movement" in history...

The development of history is always so similar, even similar and creepy...

Chilling!

Yu Yifeng felt goose bumps all over his body when he heard this.

But it is normal to think about it carefully.

As science has developed to this point, there will always be some geniuses who jump out to fight against obscurantism and establish a materialistic philosophical system.

This may be another inevitable change in history!

At that time, a large number of scientists on Nix were persecuted and fled their country to the city of Tor in Balgaria... the most enlightened neutral city. It is also the main excavation site of the ruins.

These sages in Tor City raised their ambitions one by one. They tried to find out the essence of magma energy and find evidence that "gods" do not exist, to give religion a strong blow!

Of course, many religious people still believe that "atoms can be divided" is completely wrong. They disagree with the ideas of scientists, and the class struggle has not risen to its climax, and has not yet triggered a full-scale melee.

Until... an epoch-making genius came out of nowhere.

"Eutaton, the 26th Great Sage, proposed the special theory of relativity and the mass-energy equation E=mc^2, which brought a turning point to this war without gunpowder."

"It proves that the energy of magma does come from the atoms themselves!"

"God said, 'Let Eutaton come!' Then everything became bright." This is the epitaph added by the Nix people in later generations for Eutaton. Of course, the religions of later generations are no longer the fanatical religions of the past.

"Eutaton" is the absolute first echelon with "Diraan", and this great creation can never be surpassed by later generations.

This great sage is really too awesome, equivalent to still in the steam age, but he forcibly came up with the special theory of relativity and nuclear energy!

It... forcefully denied the existence of "gods"!

As a result, Eutaton's discovery made the church people really angry and even panicked. Their faith began to collapse, which was absolutely not allowed. They couldn't talk, so they started to act!

The first religious war, and a world war-level war, began...

The process here is self-explanatory. Because of electricity, oxidants can be mass-produced, so thermal weapons also appeared in large quantities.

There are even large airships in the sky, which were the strongest war weapons at the time.

This is a war between the sage class and the church, a struggle between two upper classes.

It's like the rulers of mankind fighting the church.

It's like the struggle between "divine power" and "imperial power"!

As a gathering place for scientists, the city of Tor naturally became the center of this world war. Fanatic religious people tried to establish the authority of "gods" with the blood of sages.

This war lasted for seven years, involving more than 70% of the countries, until a mushroom cloud appeared on the surface of Nix for the first time...

It was an atomic bomb!

The first appearance of this super weapon completely destroyed a large city, killed and injured 200,000 people, and made the most determined religious people feel a deep chill.

... It also directly put an end to this world war.

The atomic bomb, with its unparalleled violent aesthetics and its instant brilliance, is the strongest means for the sage class to challenge the "gods". The mass-energy equation was also verified by the appearance of the atomic bomb.

"From today on, we will be... our own gods!" At the end of the war, the great sage Yutaton said with great pride.

In this war, the religious side was defeated... and ended with the suicide of several popes.

The war ended just like that, and the best era of atomic energy has arrived!

The Nix people also benefited from the great discovery of the great sage "Eutaton", and finally said goodbye to their dependence on magma and used... nuclear power!

Nuclear power has once again greatly expanded their available energy.

Moreover, they were ecstatic to find that the reserves of surface uranium were so abundant that they could use them for... 100,000 years!

"100,000 years!"

"Yes, their surface uranium resources are so abundant that according to the standards at that time, they can be used for 100,000 years! This does not include the unexplored ones."

100,000 years, a number that everyone feels extremely long, the Nix people ushered in the happiest era.

This large-scale historical meeting has been going on for more than 3 hours. Everyone discussed and pondered, and was almost exhausted. It's time to take a break and have lunch.

Yu Yifeng also sorted out his complicated mood. The history of the Nix in the first half was full of blood and violence, and the occasional light was always fleeting. But overall, the ending was pretty good.

The emergence of nuclear energy is, of course, a qualitative change, which finally freed the Nix people from the predicament of energy shortage and their dependence on magma.

History always advances in twists and turns.

There is no progress without twists and turns, not only for the Nix people, but also for humans... Human progress is always accompanied by war and killing.

The waves behind push the waves ahead, and only after experiencing the ruins can we be reborn from the ashes... The whole world is so cruel.

"Let's go, let's go to lunch." Yu Yifeng called subconsciously and walked ahead on his own.

Yuriko was stunned for a moment, and she could only hum and follow behind.

Yu Yifeng was still thinking about other things in his mind.

After all, the Nix people have become extinct, and the second half of the meeting will definitely not be very wonderful, so we must be mentally prepared in advance...

The two of them passed a meeting platform, and several robots were distributing materials for the second half of the meeting. Yu Yifeng subconsciously wanted to take it, but stopped halfway...

Seeing the heavy, stiff, and somewhat depressed faces of the group of scientists. He suddenly felt that it would be better for him not to seek abuse in advance...

But Yu Yifeng couldn't help it, and glanced at the cover of the information curiously. His face suddenly turned pale, and he thought of something bad...

"Let's go, let's go, let's eat first..."

No matter what you say, lunch should be eaten well. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with the huge problems in the future... Knowing the truth about the big filter later is also an inexplicable happiness.

Yu Yifeng suppressed his curiosity and pulled Yuriko away.

The two walked into the cafeteria one after the other. Now they all adopted the form of buffet, and they could take whatever they wanted.

"Fried foods such as French fries should be eaten less...If we also have an organ like 'thermonuclear', it would save a lot of time for eating, and we can replenish energy by sleeping." Yu Yifeng saw Yuriko taking French fries from the plate, and couldn't help saying.

Yuriko responded unhappily, and could only push some of the French fries on the plate back.

But in her heart, she absolutely disagreed with changing the digestive organ to 'thermonuclear', otherwise wouldn't there be no such thing as "delicious food"?
