Chapter 240

Then, everyone boarded a long electric car. The riding space inside was very narrow. The emptiness between the two doors was as crowded as the interlayer between sandwich biscuits, which made everyone very uncomfortable.

The environment of the whole underground city is narrow and dark. Wang Junpeng always feels that he has run to the underground dwarf country in fantasy novels. These short "pangolins" are the so-called "dwarfs".

In his eyes, living here will be very depressing, but the residents of this underground city have been quite accustomed to local life and think that this is the hometown full of safety.

Along the way, he saw all kinds of wasteland and abandoned buildings.

"Only a substantial reduction in population will cause this phenomenon of abandoned buildings..." Wang Junpeng thought in his heart.

Has there ever been a large-scale war?

"Or... Natural and man-made disasters?"

He looked around carefully and occasionally saw several pangolins. He looked curiously at the roadside. The overall atmosphere was quite peaceful and there was no post disaster tension.

"It's not necessarily war, so what is it, class solidification? Terminator? "

Unknowingly, Wang Junpeng's face has been quite dignified. He can almost be sure that this civilization is the civilization that has completely declined and stepped into mediocrity.

This decline can hardly be covered up!

Even these Gliese are used to it and don't bother to cover up anything.

At the thought that a civilization that could defeat human beings had not been completed under the impact of time, Wang Junpeng couldn't help feeling waves of happiness and uneasiness.

Fortunately, they came a few years late

That's not right... This civilization has declined tens of thousands of years ago when mankind was still in the period of primitive man.

Uneasy is - the mediocrity trap in the universe is really terrible to the extreme!

Wang Junpeng couldn't help worrying deeply about the new human civilization that is now in high spirits and rising rapidly.

Nothing rises forever.

Don't humans on earth have declined sharply? This decline is not a decline in science and technology, but a decline in ideology and social structure. The whole civilization has become a mass of loose sand, and there is no way to complete large-scale projects

A series of nouns can't help jumping out: environment, evolutionary defects, ideology, and... New civilization history?

Wang Junpeng couldn't help laughing at himself. When did he become so noble and want to think about things tens of thousands of years later?

What happened to human beings at that time, and what does it have to do with themselves?

Licked his dry lips, and a question was put in front of him. The other party exposed the fact. What do you want to do?

No one whispers in the headphones. On the one hand, it is to ensure etiquette and comment on other people's territory. It's just like a fool; On the other hand, they are afraid of being monitored. In case of a war between the two sides caused by gossip, even suicide by these diplomats is not enough to make up for their mistakes.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the station.

The living area prepared by Gliese for human beings is not too large. It is about 100 square meters. The air composition and atmospheric pressure inside are similar to the earth's atmosphere. They can live normally without wearing spacesuits.

The only difference is that the gravity here is slightly larger than the earth. It's like carrying a 10kg sandbag. It's a little hard on the whole, but it's good to get used to it.

Wang Junpeng takes a helmet like communication device on the head cabinet. It is a VR device, which is said to be used to experience "sensory film".

After trying hard, I found that my head was too big and a little flustered. He soon put it down and looked at other things in the room, including some strange decorations, various electronic screens, service robots and so on, as well as some small toys and books.

"It seems that this civilization knows how to enjoy... Hey, is it the commonality of every civilization to enjoy life?"

The daily task of these diplomats is to talk with some Gliese, understand each other's ideology, and be run to investigate a small part of living areas and industrial areas.

Wang Junpeng found that it may be because of the work and rest of life. This civilization is really idle. The organizational ability of the government is not high.

People have few working hours. Basically, they just do what they want, and they don't do it. However, the productivity of this civilization is indeed good. Even if the people do not do much work, they can easily meet the survival of all the population.

During the inspection, many people will look at them curiously, and even come up for a dialogue to ask what kind of civilization human civilization is, whether they will attack them, and so on.

In the endless routine, Wang Junpeng soon mastered more information.

"I have to say... You human race are really energetic. You only need eight hours of sleep a day, and then you can wake up for a long time. Oh, by the way, it has something to do with the rotation of your planet. Rest at night and wake up during the day. "

"It's an eternal dusk here. We usually rest for ten days and then wake up for a day or two. It's much better now. We have a unified work and rest. We put it 100000 years ago. We can sleep if we want and wake up if we want. It's a mess. "

The Gliese senior official said with a little envy.

Then it rejected the idea: "unfortunately, the consequence of your energy is that life is too short. In ancient times, your average life expectancy was only 30 years... It's incredible... It's pathetic. "

Wang Junpeng nodded and said, "you're right. In ancient times, we were not top predators in the food chain, and the struggle for survival was fierce and abnormal. Because of the existence of oxygen, the trees in the forest are more than ten meters high, the largest herbivore elephant has a mass of several tons, and tigers and lions... These beasts are not comparable to our strength. "

"It is because of aerobic breathing that such a beast has evolved!"

"Oxygen... Ah, I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." When the Gliese diplomat heard the word, he seemed to think of something and shook his head slightly.

Wang Junpeng said with exaggeration: "yes, oxygen! In more ancient times, 120 million years ago, because of the very high oxygen concentration, there was a creature called dinosaur, which could have a mass of hundreds of tons! The tallest dinosaur can reach 100 meters! "

Seeing the Gliese's surprised expression, Wang Junpeng said: "however, the size is not important, the length of life is not important, and wisdom is more important. Many of our great men made important achievements when they were young, and even their limbs were paralyzed, relying only on their smart heads. "

"You're right! What you said is absolutely right! No amount of power can compare with an excavator. " The Gliese diplomat echoed.

Wang Junpeng sighed and even goose bumps came out: "yes, it is the survival concept of each of us to make more contributions to the whole civilization in our limited life."

You're kidding!

If it weren't for the pressure of survival, who would like to work for a better life. Human beings are selfish creatures. Even Wang Junpeng came to be an interstellar diplomat just for face, honor or money

However, if the whole civilization can become better, it is not impossible to sacrifice personal interests slightly... But only slightly... Wang Junpeng feels that he is about to be brainwashed by himself.

The senior official of glize seemed to be awed by Wang Junpeng's eloquence and asked, "by the way, don't the individuals in your civilization carry out recreational activities? For example, art... "

"Art, of course!"

"The meaning of life is to feel the passage of time? Personally plant a grass and watch it grow slowly, blossom, bear fruit and wither... There is infinite and natural philosophical truth in the edge itself. "

"Isn't that what we've been doing all our lives? If there is birth, there will be death. "

"Our saints once said that time passes like this, day and night... It means that time is like running water."

The senior official of Gliese was very excited by him, as if he had met a real confidant: "yes, there are similar words among our great men. Time is like a typhoon, and each typhoon is different..."
