Chapter 2031: Ger and Atheism (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)
The universe is in chaos again. The Kree have to start a war with Xandar because of their superiors... But the war is actually not advantageous to the Kree. The reason is simple. The territory of Xandar is not large. They have always been a trade civilization and do not have much demand for territory. Instead, they promote so-called free trade everywhere, so as to make profits by using the scissors gap.
This means that the Xandar people not only have strong economic strength, but also have a dense network of relationships in the universe. Other forces may not directly come forward to help the Xandar people, but it is not difficult at all to provide weapons and intelligence support in secret. The key is that compared to the Xandar people, the Kree people's reputation is really bad.
No force in the entire universe is willing to be neighbors with the Kree...so everyone hopes that the Xandar people can hold on.
On the other hand, due to the small size of the territory, the area that needs to be defended is much smaller, and the military force is more concentrated. This is a space war, and the number of people is not that important to a certain extent. Of course, this cannot be generalized.
Modern warfare is dominated by high-tech weapons, but it is certainly very useful for a party to participate in the war to have a large number of people who have received relevant technical education. Some people may think that there are many high-tech weapons that shine in modern warfare, such as the most well-known drone: a drone can perform reconnaissance missions for a long time without interruption, which is equivalent to many scouts in the past. A drone can still launch missiles or precision-guided bombs, and there is no need to worry about pilot casualties if it is shot down by the enemy. In this way, isn’t it more cost-effective than special forces raids, armed helicopters, or even stealth bombers? The disaster relief operation also shows that drones can also ensure communications in a certain area and provide emergency lighting. If this is on the battlefield, it will be faster and safer than the communication soldiers ensuring communications on the front line and the engineers providing lighting under enemy fire? In fact, not only that, in the future, there will probably be large and small unmanned combat vehicle/robots and unmanned warships/combat boats on the battlefield. These weapons will also play a big role. However, don’t forget that there are still people behind such high-tech weapons. Such a variety of unmanned weapons also need people to maintain, repair, replenish electricity/fuel, and perhaps also replenish ammunition. Therefore, a large number of people may have been soldiers who wielded spears and clubs in ancient times, officers and soldiers with guns in World War I and World War II, and in future wars, they may be logistical technical soldiers who are proficient in various technologies. Only when there are more people who are proficient in relevant military technology can more unmanned combat weapons be deployed, so the advantage of having more talents is revealed.
There is another question. Behind high-tech weapons is a huge and complete high-tech industry, which still requires a large number of high-tech workers. Although there have been no wars between major powers in recent years, some high-tech weapons have been put into conflicts between small countries. They must be improved according to the changes in the war situation. How can they be improved without high-end industries and how can new types of weapons be developed? Taking drones as an example, many people may have noticed that in conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, drones have been upgraded from four-axis electric small drones to fuel-powered turboprop engine drones. Here is a bold prediction. In the future, drones with performance no less than Su-30 and F-16 will probably fight in these places and shoot down small and medium-sized drones without mercy. Apart from other things, how many countries can develop and produce turboprop engine drones (similar to the US MQ-9)? Not to mention drones of the Su-30 and F-16 level, how many countries are likely to develop and produce them in the future? Similarly, unmanned combat vehicles that are no less than T-90 and M1A2 tanks may also appear on the battlefield in the future. How many countries are likely to develop and produce them? Also, how many countries can develop the medium-range air-to-air missiles and long-range air-to-air missiles that these unmanned combat weapons carry? These unmanned combat weapons must use a large number of electronic equipment. How many countries can develop high-performance military chips?
Therefore, modern high-tech weapons may be able to defeat a large number of illiterate soldiers who can't count and fire assault rifles above their heads, but after both sides have a large number of modern high-tech weapons. The two sides are competing for a large number of highly qualified unmanned weapon operators. Whoever has more qualified operators is likely to organize stronger combat operations. As the war progresses, the two sides are competing to improve and update their weapons. Whoever has a perfect high-tech industrial chain is likely to develop better weapons. Whoever has a high-tech industrial chain with high production capacity is likely to produce more weapons. In the final analysis, it is still about who has a larger number of high-quality populations, so population is likely to become an advantage for the exhibitors.
But don't forget the Cree system.
They generally discriminate against non-Kree people. Pure-blooded Kree people have blue skin (blue people) and look similar to humans. The Kree people were forced to interbreed with other races, thus giving birth to a mixed race with skin color similar to humans. Pure-blooded Kree people enjoy all the treatment of Kree Empire citizens and can work in key positions and professions. Although hybrid Kree people are also subject to restrictions, their basic citizenship rights are still fine. They can enter the upward channel, but there are invisible restrictions.
And those conquered civilized races who did not have any Cree blood were just slaves.
They can only accept oppression and engage in physical labor. There is no room for advancement at all, let alone education.
This also led to the fact that the Kree's high-quality population was not that large... at least much smaller than the Xandar people. The Xandar people were different. They promoted universal education and were very accepting of high-value immigrants from other places. As a result, the Xandar people actually had no concept of pure blood... Many of them had strange appearances, but all called themselves Xandar people, and there was no so-called clear racial boundary.
This resulted in the Xandar Empire having a large number of highly qualified talents and a very high level of science and technology.
There are many high-tech talents.
The Kree also have scientists, but their first choice is always to join the army! There is no way around it. Militarism is like this. The army will consciously or unconsciously absorb all the outstanding talents, which leads to the overall bias of society.
The military seized the most resources, and everything else had to give way.
This has led to the Kree people's slow progress in technology... Of course, this depends on who they are compared with. Compared with other races, it is naturally fast, but compared with an empire as open as the Xandar Empire, it is slow.
There is no logic to the technological explosion.
The military forces are concentrated, and the logistics and social resources are excellent. In fact, there is really no need for the Cree to fight this war, and it is meaningless.
But the problem is that the lower-level Kree warriors don't care about these things. What they want is war. They don't need anything else except war. Without war, how can they get promoted and make money? Without war, how can they take bribes?
What's more, this is not just a problem for the lower samurai class, there are other classes as well, they need to plunder more markets, more raw materials, more territories and populations to satisfy their appetites.
So the whole society is being pushed forward.
This war was full of nonsensical style from beginning to end.
Only the Xandar people were a little puzzled by this, but they didn't think much about it... After all, they had been fighting the Kree for a long time, and every time it was the Kree who took the initiative to cause trouble, so they were used to it.
And as the instigator of all this, Gel is now in the Vatican on Earth.
When he came to Earth, Gel of course followed the old rules and planned to take action against the gods.
But he made a miraculous discovery that the Earth was a really weird place.
Many gods of the Pantheon can be found on Earth, although most of them are not true, but they do exist. But Earthlings mostly treat them as stories... If the Pantheon knew about this, they would definitely punish you. This is a complete blasphemy. You have made a mistake in the deeds and poems of God. It would be strange if the gods didn't get mad! Unfortunately... No.
The people of Earth were not punished at all.
According to his inherent thinking, Gel thought that the gods who ruled here were some other gods, so he didn't care about other gods.
So he went to look for the gods here.
Finally, something happened that made him collapse.
There are many religions in this world!
In fact, even the people on Earth themselves don’t know how many religions there are on Earth. After all, no one will deliberately investigate.
Kegel is different. He has lived in a world with a strong religious atmosphere since he was a child. Faith is even their first priority!
So even though he is against the gods now, he still can't help but study and understand those things.
Then he was surprised to find that this small planet was so... full of vitality, with all things flourishing.
According to statistics, there are about 8000 religions in the world. Does this number surprise you? Don't worry, we will analyze the characteristics and differences of these religions one by one. First, let's take a look at Christianity. Christianity is the religion with the most believers in the world, accounting for about 16% of the world's population. Its doctrines are mainly derived from the Bible and are divided into three major denominations: Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism. Christianity emphasizes love and forgiveness, and requires believers to have a devout faith in God and live a loving life. Next, we are going to talk about Islam. Islam is the second largest religion in the world, accounting for about 23% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the Koran, and believers are called Muslims. Islam emphasizes the belief in the only God, Allah, and requires believers to follow the five pillars (faith, worship, fasting, zakat, and pilgrimage). Buddhism is the largest religion in Asia, accounting for about 3% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the teachings of the Buddha, and believers seek to be free from the cycle of life and death and reach the state of nirvana. There are many schools of Buddhism, such as Han Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Southern Buddhism in my country. Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world, accounting for about 2.3% of the world's population. Its teachings are derived from the Vedic scriptures and the Upanishads, and its followers are called Hindus. Hinduism emphasizes karma, reincarnation, and has many myths, legends, and rituals. Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, accounting for about 0.2% of the world's population. Its teachings are derived from the Hebrew Bible, and its followers are called Jews. Judaism emphasizes belief in Jehovah and observance of laws and rituals.
In addition to these mainstream religions, there are many other religions, such as Taoism, Confucianism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc.
There are also many messy religions that are hard to describe.
This really shocked Gel.
How could the earthlings...or rather, the gods of the earthlings tolerate such a situation?
In this way, the gods will not punish the people on Earth?
why.
So he began to visit… He was in no hurry, he had plenty of time.
Then he found out that everything was fake.
The gods believed in by the people on Earth are basically fake, but the gods in the myths that we listen to as stories do exist.
Other beliefs were invented by the people on Earth themselves.
This surprised Ger.
At first, Geer didn't accept it.
Because this is contrary to his entire life!
Until he came across atheism.
In a broad sense, atheism refers to a belief that denies, negates, or does not believe in the existence of gods; in a narrow sense, atheism refers to a resistance, rejection, and attack on the belief in the existence of any gods. Atheism is in sharp contrast to theism, which usually believes in the existence of at least one god. The word atheism originated from ancient Greek and originally referred to a negative attitude towards more widely accepted religions. However, with the spread of free thought and scientific skepticism, and the increase in criticism of religion, the scope of the word has gradually narrowed. Common reasons for atheists not to believe in gods include the lack of empirical evidence; the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelation, the unfalsifiability of gods, and the argument from no faith. In addition, there are many different atheist arguments from the perspectives of philosophy, sociology, history, etc. Although many atheists tend to various secular philosophies (such as humanism, rationalism, and naturalism), there is no common ideological system among atheists. Many atheists believe that atheism is a simpler worldview than theism, so the burden of proof to refute the existence of God does not lie with atheists. According to different definitions, atheism can be divided into strong atheism (or explicit atheism) and weak atheism (or implicit atheism). Strong atheism explicitly claims that God does not exist, which is similar to the narrow definition of atheism. In many cases, atheism actually refers to strong atheism. Weak atheism is similar to atheism in the broad definition, that is, all ideas about God that are not theistic. In this way, weak atheism includes agnosticism. There is a lot of controversy about whether atheism only refers to strong atheism or should include weak atheism. Becoming an atheist does not require any rituals such as conversion or baptism, so it is not easy to judge an atheist. Only a few people who claim to be atheists can generally be sure that they are atheists. There are more and more atheists in the new century, just because traditional Western countries do not make it clear. The theory that denies superstition about gods, ghosts and religious theology is a philosophical thought that believes that gods or ghosts do not exist. Historically, atheism generally advocates rationality and science, opposes faith and obscurantism, opposes the spiritual constraints of traditional religion, and praises human dignity and freedom, which is similar in nature and meaning to "Enlightenment Thought". Generally speaking, materialists are also atheists, and atheists are usually synonymous with "free thinkers".
When people today talk about atheism, they generally mean the complete denial of anything supernatural or the existence of a soul separate from the body.
Geer was so shocked by these theories that he didn't know what to say.
