Children are always like this, they always want their dad to be a superhero! Of course, in the eyes of children, parents often play this role!

But the problem is that Kai himself is a superhero, and Theresa and the others are well aware of this.

So when Theresa finished shouting, little Bernard immediately stood up from Kai's arms and stared at his father closely.

The children were actually very concerned about Kai's whereabouts during this period, but Riven kept emphasizing that their father Wayne was busy with important things and he should not be disturbed, so the children were very obedient and did not disturb him.

But now, Kai is obviously free, so he can ask.

There are many speculations on the Internet about the truth of this incident.

Another example is alien invasion... Well, this is not a far-fetched idea on Earth today. After all, aliens really exist! They have actually invaded!

As a result, whenever something happens in the world, the public’s first reaction is... the aliens are here again!

Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying this. If an alien civilization encounters a lower-level civilization, it is highly likely that there will be no such things as truth, goodness, and beauty... You can refer to the operations of the Western great voyages!

The Age of Exploration refers to the countless explorations and trades that Europe conducted around the world between the 15th and 18th centuries. The "Age of Exploration" here refers to the general name for the exploration and trade activities throughout Europe, which had a profound impact on the development of the world economy and culture. Along with the navigation activities of European explorers, new trade models and commercial routes emerged, which led to a change in the global trade pattern. The traditional trade model was broken. In the past, trade mainly went to a certain place, and then fixedly purchased some specific goods from the local market and returned to the country for exchange. In the Age of Exploration, merchants began to exchange goods more flexibly. The advent of the Age of Exploration led to an increase in the exchange of goods, because the routes were more extensive and goods from different regions could be exchanged. With the continuous expansion and opening of new routes, a large number of new trade routes have emerged around the world. The emergence of new trade models and commercial routes has led to the problem of trade surpluses and trade deficits, which has challenged the balance and stability of global trade. This article will explore in depth the relationship between the Age of Exploration and the global economy, as well as the connotation of the Age of Exploration.

The Age of Exploration had a profound impact on the global economy. As European explorers and merchants began searching for economic gain in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, they signed numerous trade agreements and established a series of commercial empires.

For example, the Portuguese controlled the major ports of the East Indies, India, and Brazil, the Dutch developed mineral resources in Indonesia and South Africa, and the British promoted trade in the Americas and East Asia. The opening of the Age of Exploration also laid the foundation for the modern capitalist system in the global economy. Europeans made a lot of money in the trade of the Great Navigation (such as the slave trade) and established banking, stock exchanges, and insurance institutions in Europe. These organizations evolved into a capitalist commercial economy, and the monetary system of this era also changed profoundly. Strict exchange rate systems, a global currency "silver" and trade finance intermediaries (such as bill brokers) appeared in the global monetary field. These trade finance institutions promoted the flow of goods, technology, and capital, and became the basis of the later international monetary system. The Age of Exploration also played a role in the formation, exchange, and transformation of global culture. Due to the arrival of European explorers, a large number of artifacts that had never been seen in history were transported to Europe, inspiring Europeans to rethink their culture and identity.

Well, that's a benefit for Europeans.

But to others... it's naked killing and plundering!

Mercenaries and pirate ships plundered at sea, killed people by force, and turned some peaceful places into hell. The dark clouds of power struggle were everywhere, and political purges and plots made the whole era full of blood. Behind colonial expansion was the evil of the slave trade. Thousands of black Africans were forcibly transported to the New World, where they were forced to do hard physical work and suffered extremely inhumane treatment. In plantations and mines, they lost their freedom and self-esteem and faced threats to their lives every day. Even if they survived by chance, they would face constant pain and despair. In order to maintain control of the colonies, the colonists implemented harsh policies and imposed cruel oppression on local residents. Any act of resistance would be brutally dealt with. Colonial officials had the right to arrest, detain, and even execute those who opposed them at will. Under this reign of terror, many innocent people lost their lives. In the Age of Navigation, economic struggles were fierce, and European merchants used all kinds of dishonorable means to monopolize trade. Privateers and pirates were rampant at sea, and they arbitrarily robbed merchant ships, posing a great threat to trade security. Driven by wealth, explorers plundered the resources of the New World indiscriminately. They forced the indigenous people to work, took away their land and property, and sometimes used force. Using unfair treaties, European merchants continued to transport colonial resources to Europe, causing the local residents to become even poorer. Cultural conflicts were accompanied by violence. European colonists forcibly promoted their own culture and wanted to change the language, beliefs and lifestyle of the indigenous people. This cultural invasion caused many indigenous cultures to disappear and caused great psychological harm to the indigenous people. The colonists also looked down on colonial culture, ridiculed and belittled it. In the process of cultural exchange, cultural loss and identity confusion sometimes occur. Faced with the strong influence of colonial culture, the indigenous people gradually lost their identity with their own culture and became like a tree without roots.

All this stems from human greed.

Don’t those aliens have desires or greed?

Obviously impossible!

Desire is the driving force of all evolution.

This is true for humans, and so are aliens... Of course, if a civilization reaches the level of the observer, just pretend I didn't say anything.

But the question is, what kind of civilization is the observer?

The Watchers have advanced technology billions of years ahead of most other species, used to create demountable temporary dwellings; they also have the technology to observe alternate realities. The Watchers are one of the oldest races in the known universe, committed to observing and codifying knowledge of all aspects of the universe without any interference, and they have inherent abilities that can achieve almost any need, including augmented personal attributes, time and space manipulation, molecular manipulation, energy projection, and vast psychic powers.

It can even be said that it is only when the observer reaches this level that he appears so extraordinary.

After all, their level is too high, and looking at lower civilizations is like looking at a paramecium.

In this case, they naturally won't show any desire!

You know, even a race like the Observers will engage in a long-lasting war with the Celestials.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the aliens' malicious intentions towards the earth. After all, Westerners have already demonstrated it.

Long before Europeans began their maritime exploration, the Indians on the American continent had already lived and multiplied for thousands of years. But since the Western colonists set foot on this land, the indigenous people have suffered an unprecedented genocide disaster. When Europeans set foot on the North American continent in 1492, there were 500 million Native Americans living on this land. However, by 1800, their population had dropped sharply to 60, and by 1900, it had dropped sharply to 237 million. The value of Indian lives was even lower than that of livestock at that time.

Everyone should be familiar with the Mohawk hairstyle. This hairstyle was once a signature element of the Chinese Shamatte trend and was very popular. But what many people don’t know is that this hairstyle actually originated from the Mohawk natives of North America. Unfortunately, with the development of history, this tribe no longer exists. The culprit that led to their demise was the brutal massacre carried out by the North American colonists. It is generally believed that the history of the United States began with the arrival of the Mayflower in North America in 1620, with 102 Puritans on board. For many Americans today and those Puritans, North America seems to be an untouched "ideal land." But the actual situation is very different from this common view.

At that time, America was a completely primitive, dangerous, and desolate land full of unknown dangers. When the Mayflower docked, it was November in Plymouth. Plymouth is located in the northeast corner of the United States, very close to Canada, and by November, it had already entered the cold winter. The early colonists faced a serious survival crisis. They could not find enough food or build a decent house. In just one year, nearly half of the 102 Puritans died. At this critical moment of life and death, the local Indians lent a hand. They not only sent food to the colonists, but also taught them to grow local crops and help them build houses, which eventually allowed these outsiders to survive in a strange land. This is the origin of Thanksgiving, but the colonists thanked not the Indians, but the so-called "Almighty Lord". This ironic black humor story unfolds from this. The "miracle" of the Mayflower attracted a large number of British people, causing more colonists to flock to North America. However, they occupied a large number of Indian settlements. The white immigrants themselves were in urgent need of more land for farming, so they did not hesitate to raise arms against these "former benefactors". The "Hundred Years' War" between the whites and the Native Americans began, and the colonists also labeled the Indians "the devil's minions". In order to completely eradicate the Indians, the colonists used all kinds of insidious means. They deliberately gave blankets used by smallpox patients to the leaders of Indian tribes to spread the disease. They also sold guns to the Indians, instigated the tribes to fight each other, and sat back and enjoyed the fruits of their labor and made profits.

Not only did they participate in the killing of Indians, but during the New England period and when the United States was first established, the government publicly announced an order to reward the hunting of Indian scalps. Indian scalps were marked with a price by Western colonists: a man's scalp was worth $100, while the scalps of children, women and the elderly were worth $50. These scalps were eventually made into leather boots, and their cruelty was comparable to the atrocities of the Nazis. Since 1803, the US Army has made killing Indians a routine job, and it was not until 1892 that it slowly stopped. This bloody history lasted for a full hundred years. Even Lincoln, who was revered as a "great leader" by Americans, personally ordered the execution of the leader of the Indian tribe. In 1811, the US army defeated a large-scale Indian resistance force in the Battle of Tippecanoe and executed their leader Tekusamu. Immediately afterwards, the US military set fire to and destroyed the Indian settlement "Prophet Town" and ruthlessly killed the Indian residents in the town. In 1813, just two years later, the U.S. military started a war again, this time targeting the Creeks. After a fierce battle, the Creeks were forced to leave the Mississippi River Basin where they had lived for generations. In addition to direct killing, the Americans also took more covert means. The bison that originally spread across North America was an important survival reliance for the Indians. In order to cut off the livelihood of the Indians, the American colonists hunted bison on a large scale, cut off their food supply, and thus made hunger a weapon to eliminate the Indians. The Western colonists not only physically eliminated the Indians, but also tried to deprive them of their survival resources. Hunting North American bison was one of the means they took. In the history of the United States and Canada, the reservation system can be regarded as one of the darkest chapters. It can even be said to be an early form of the later "concentration camps". When the United States gradually took control of the eastern part of North America, they turned their attention to the central and western parts. It was during this period that the Americans put forward the so-called "Manifest Destiny" concept. "Manifest Destiny" can be said to be the source of American patriotism and an important concept for maintaining unity in the early days of the United States. At that time, there were signs of labor movements and communism in other Western countries, but these thoughts never penetrated into American society. Therefore, many American scholars put forward the "American Exceptionalism", believing that the social environment in the United States was not suitable for revolution. The key to the United States' social stability was that the westward movement provided a broad space for development. Even if workers had a difficult life, they had the opportunity to go to the West to reclaim land and make a living. This forced factory owners to pay attention to workers' rights. After all, when workers were really desperate, they might choose to leave the factory and seek other ways out at any time.

The westward expansion of the United States brought great suffering to the Indians and Mexicans along the way. It was under this situation that the Mexican-American War broke out. As early as 1794, the concept of "reservation" was first proposed in the treaty signed between the US government and the six major tribes. According to this agreement, the Indians would be forcibly relocated to the designated reservations.

Why does everyone think aliens are evil?

Because what the aliens might do, Westerners have already done vividly!

Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why these people are afraid of aliens! They are afraid that what happened to the Native Americans will happen to them!
