Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 86 Faith
"Will the people in Alek Oil City go to trouble the Sacred Fire Cult?" Tesla appeared from behind Lincheng, watching the people in Alek Oil City leave gradually.

"Who knows, but placing hope on others is never the solution to a problem." Lincheng said calmly, "The real solution to a problem is one's own strength."

"Let's go, go back and have a meeting and chat with them."

Tesla nodded.

They returned to the second floor of the Prometheus base. Darwin and Da Vinci finished their studies today. A group of scientists were discussing what they had learned from Prometheus.

Seeing Lincheng's arrival, they stopped communicating.

"How?" Einstein asked.

"The person is handed over, and through this favor, we have obtained the qualification to trade oil and coal with Alec City.

But the people from the Holy Fire Cult died here, unless we give up this base, otherwise, we can't avoid them.

Alek Oil City might trouble them and distract them, but they couldn't pin all their hopes on them. " Lincheng said.

Plank nodded, "We don't even know what kind of power they have now."

"Any one of them is a reformer, so it's probably not weak."

"Can you tell me, this Holy Fire Cult?" Darwin asked.

Lincheng nodded, "A group originally consisted of scavengers who believed in a church called the Holy Fire Goddess. They believed that everything in this world was created by the Holy Fire Goddess, so everything in the world should belong to them, the Holy Fire Goddess' believers."

"This is not a belief." Darwin said, "Since they believe that everything is created by the goddess of fire, then they should respect and be grateful for everything created by the god they believe in.

They don't believe in the Goddess of Sacred Fire, it's more like putting themselves above the gods and taking everything the gods do for granted.

This is more like using the name of God to satisfy one's own desires and create a group called the church, which is actually a group of predators.

Hanging the name of God is just to give oneself an excuse for plundering.

It reminds me of the fallen clergy at the height of the church's power during the medieval period.

They frame innocent women as witches and send them to the stake to demonstrate their authority. They claim to believe in the Supreme Lord, but they rape young children. "

The scientists nodded one after another, obviously, they also agreed with this statement.

"You see through their essence." Planck laughed.

Tesla looked at Darwin and joked, "Do you feel the joy of this era? Mr. Darwin."

Darwin shrugged, "If I mentioned these shameful black histories of the church in my time, I would probably be directly blocked by the people of the Holy See.

In this era, there is no secular concept of god belief that hinders science. At this point, it is indeed pleasant to speak freely. "

"In other words, there is no secular concept in this world." Einstein said, "Everything is blank, and this blank needs to be written by us."

Da Vinci nodded, and he asked Darwin curiously.

"Darwin, what do you think belief is?"

Darwin thought for a moment, "Now I have to talk about my friend Alfred Russell Wallace, another author of "Origin of Species".

He has also traveled around the world like me, but he is an anthropologist.

I traveled around the world mainly observing various animals and plants, and he traveled around the world mainly observing various tribes.

You should all know that in the 19th century, London was the core city in Europe, the political, cultural and economic center, and was highly developed. However, due to the high level of development, the gap between the rich and the poor was particularly large.

The poor are extremely poor, and the crime rate remains high. At that time, he had one worry: even a city as developed as Britain is so dangerous. Wouldn’t it be more dangerous to go to those primitive tribes?
As a result, guess what he said after he came back from traveling around the world? "

Darwin glanced at the crowd, paused, and smiled.

"He said there's no worse place in the world than London, England."

Lincheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

And those scientists broke out into hearty laughter.

"After he came back, he discovered a problem. The more primitive the tribe, the more they know how to respect each other and the meaning of coexistence. They will not kill or destroy the environment just to satisfy some special hobbies of their own.

They hunt for survival, not for pleasure. Animal fur is warm clothing for them, not some kind of luxury for showing off. Even cannibal tribes are also people who eat to fill their stomachs.

He finally came to a conclusion: the more advanced the technology, the lower the spiritual realm of human beings, and with material satisfaction, the human spirit tends to degenerate.

The reason why primitive people retain such a spiritual civilization is because they have religion.

The ignorant primitive people believed that everything was created by gods, so they remained in awe of everything, knew how to be grateful, and did not have the arrogance of being above all living beings, because in their eyes, only God is above all living beings. "

"There is also an old saying in China: "There are gods when you lift your head three feet high." Lincheng said, "But the main meaning of this saying is that people need to know how to be in awe."

"His cognition has surpassed at least half a century." Einstein said.

"However, my friend has also gone astray because of this, and has fallen into idealism." Darwin said, "The biggest difference between human beings and animals is that human beings have higher intelligence and altruism.

Judging from the biological fossils unearthed at that time, the human brain is actually no different from that of an ape, and the human brain in the past is no different from the current brain. People today are just more knowledgeable than people in the past. will be smarter.

Human intelligence seems to have appeared suddenly, without any evolutionary source at all.

Therefore, in Wallace's view, human beings do not follow the theory of evolution, and human wisdom comes from God.

However, it is precisely because of his argument that my theory of evolution can be accepted by the public. Otherwise, given the circumstances at that time, I might be the next Copernicus. "

"Doesn't your theory of evolution say that humans evolved from apes?" Lincheng asked curiously.

"In fact, I'm not brave enough to challenge the theocratic power that has stood on this land for thousands of years by myself. In the book "Origin of Species", there is no word in the entire article that mentions the relationship between humans and apes. Darwin laughed.

"But every word says that humans evolved from apes." Da Vinci quipped.

Darwin shrugged, and then he looked at everyone present.

"In my opinion, human beings really cannot lose their beliefs, but beliefs definitely don't just represent gods. The land under their feet, countries, and certain doctrines can all become beliefs.

It never saves anyone, but what beliefs people choose to save themselves.

And what I, or we, believe in is the truth, the truth of the world, the truth of the universe. "

Einstein, Planck and others nodded frequently.

"So, in my opinion, that group of people, or the people of this land, are so depraved precisely because there is no belief." Darwin said.

"Very good argument." Da Vinci appreciated.

"While human beings are developing in the material world, the spiritual world also needs to keep up, otherwise it will only bring about destruction." Einstein said.

"What did you gain in Prometheus?" Lincheng asked.

"That is a very wise scholar." Darwin nodded. "We have learned a lot. Now, we need to use the machines here to try to extract the evolutionary DNA of Apophis and then try to fuse it with human DNA. .”

"We tried a few times manually in that world." Da Vinci said, "If possible, we need the blood of that girl. It is a pretty good human sample and can provide us with some data."

"It shouldn't be a problem." Lincheng nodded, "I'll call her over as soon as I wait."

"How long will it take to reappear?" Lincheng asked.

"After three to seven days, of course it could be faster," Darwin said.

Lincheng nodded.

Afterwards, Lincheng chatted with Da Vinci Darwin and others for a while, and learned everything about the transformation technology, which is very important for the level system he is developing.

After listening to the explanation of the two, Lincheng nodded silently.

"Next, I'm going to make a big update, officially update the level system, and it's time to release the attribute system developed by Nuwa early in the morning.

The animal taming system is also released by the way. The number of people may not increase so quickly, but it is also a good thing for us if we can add prehistoric beasts to increase combat power.

How many people can we add at present? "

"There are about 120 units of ether particles. The problem is food, and it is even more difficult to obtain food as winter is approaching," Tesla said.

Lincheng nodded, "I will think about it, and secondly, are there any usable weapons found in this base?"

"Except for the bottles of remodeling fluid and the two remodeling pistols, I found nothing, probably either taken away by that quicksilver's father, or sold by scavengers.

Scavengers don't have the technology to repair these weapons, so all they can do to acquire them is sell them.

but"

Tesla paused, "I found something very interesting."
