Chapter 186 Human Degeneration

After capturing the four human kingdoms adjacent to the Sasang Kingdom, Luo Yi came to a conclusion: In the war against the human kingdoms, it seems that he has no place to use.

Compared with the orcs, the combat effectiveness of human beings is indeed far inferior, and the soldiers of the trapped camp with full plate armor have a crushing advantage against human soldiers.Templar knights are equipped with temple armor and are skilled in martial arts. They can surely win against ordinary fighters in the camp when they are singled out, but the number of them is too small.In a human kingdom, the number of Templar knights is only about thirty, no more than fifty, and basically no less than twenty.

In addition, Luo Yi did not find in these four kingdoms the existence of fighting skills beyond human limits.Based on the known information, it should be inferred that the human kingdoms do not have too fierce conflicts with each other, so even if the Templars can reach the limit of human beings through training, it is extremely difficult to break through this limit.

Since there is no such cutting-edge combat power in the human kingdom, it is basically impossible to cause major losses to the trapped camp according to common sense.So Luo Yi was too lazy to continue acting as a nanny for the trapped camp.

Next, Luo Yi was upgraded from a fierce general who took the lead to a strategic commander. He no longer led the army to attack, but replaced it with a shadow warrior to go to the front line.

After conquering the four human kingdoms, the number and quality of the tiger and leopard riders under Luo Yi's command have been greatly improved.In terms of numbers, the number of tiger and leopard riders has exceeded that of the trapped camp.In terms of quality, because Luo Yi provided the imitation Milan armor for the unarmored knights who surrendered, the tiger and leopard riders were better than the camp in field battles.

In addition, the tiger and leopard cavalry has also been strengthened in terms of high-end combat power.Because there were Templars in the camp before, the tiger and leopard cavalry were completely incomparable with the camp.But now the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has many Templars joining, so the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has gradually become a truly powerful army.

The tiger and leopard cavalry are slightly inferior to the trapped camp in terms of foot combat.However, compared with ordinary fighters, foot knights in full plate armor still have an overwhelming advantage.So Luo Yi was not worried that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could not complete the siege task independently.

In this case, in order to speed up the expansion, Luo Yi ordered the army to be divided into two - according to Luo Yi's prediction, the establishment of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will become larger and larger with the expansion.Then, Luo Yi will divide the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into more "Front Army" in order to obtain the fastest expansion speed.

The subsequent battle showed that Luo Yi's prediction was very accurate.Whether it is the left army with the trapping camp as the main combat force, or the right army with the tiger and leopard cavalry as the main combat force, they all show the momentum of breaking through.Luo Yi's left and right armies are expanding Luo Yi's territory at an average rate of one kingdom per day.

The speed of information dissemination in this Dyson sphere world is too slow, so when the messengers went to the human kingdom to persuade them to surrender, the nobles of the human kingdom all regarded "the gangster drug can destroy the city wall within a day" as nonsense.

The full-body plate armor of the trapped camp and tiger and leopard riders was too dazzling, so no human kingdom chose to fight in the field.But when the camp was trapped or the tiger and leopard cavalry approached the city, even though the defenders knew that they were invincible, they still fantasized about defending the city with the help of the city.

However, "as great as the hope, there is as great a disappointment".Whenever the city wall is damaged, the morale of the defenders will be instantly cleared.Some defenders surrendered without a fight, while others collapsed as soon as they were engaged and then surrendered.To Luo Yi's surprise and contempt, most kingdoms would choose to surrender after the city was broken, and a few kingdoms would choose to flee, but none of the kingdoms chose to fight to the end.

Originally, the fighting ability was not good, and the fighting will was so weak, no wonder he was pressed and rubbed on the ground by the orcs.

When the territory expanded to twenty kingdoms, Luo Yi suddenly thought of a problem.

Although the siege methods of the Dyson ball world are very backward, according to legend, this Dyson ball world also has a long history. Why has this kind of city-state kingdom been maintained, and they have not merged and expanded with each other?After all, no matter how difficult a castle is to conquer, it is only "difficult", not "impossible".

Has there never been an ambitious ruler in the history of the Dyson ball world?
With this question, Luo Yi summoned Constantine for questioning.

I don't know whether it is out of responsibility or for performance, but Constantine started talking about it more than 4 years ago, which is the age of legend.

However, Mitchell described the legendary paradise to Luo Yi.

Because all desires are too easily satisfied, the Dyson sphere world has gradually evolved into a low-desire society.Although "God" has always allowed the most devout people on earth to come to heaven to replenish new blood.But the human beings in this world still inevitably degenerate gradually.About 5000 years ago, more than half of all adults were still unable to pray alone.The reason is that the overall human intelligence at that time declined, and some people became almost mentally retarded.

When Luo Yi first heard what Mitchell said, she couldn't believe it.But later he slowly thought about this problem, only to find that this change can be logically self-consistent.

In fact, something similar is happening on Earth. Many countries in continental O have conducted research on the IQ of their own people, and the results are hardly optimistic: the research conclusions of these countries are basically similar, and the average IQ of human beings is declining year by year.

Some scientists believe that this phenomenon is due to the improvement of survival pressure, better citizens' welfare, and people no longer racking their brains to struggle for survival.Use it or lose it, if you don’t use your brain, your intelligence will degenerate.

Other scientists believe that it is due to the information explosion after social development and people's daily attention is becoming more and more fragmented and flattened, and as a result, thinking is becoming more and more superficial.

People's processing of information often only stays in "knowing", while "thinking" is becoming less and less.

On the other hand, in an era when information was not so abundant, because less information was obtained per unit of time, more time and space were created for the small amount of information to linger in the mind, which would invisibly promote human beings to repeat the same content Think, and go deeper and deeper.It is in the process of reflection that the brain is trained.

But today, when human beings have not had time to think about the newly received information, newer information comes flooding in again.People do know many things, but they still remain on the surface. "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change" fails here, and the "rumination" function of thinking degenerates.

Confucius said: "Learning without thinking is useless."

Although its original meaning is that knowledge and practice should be combined, if understood literally, Luo Yi feels that it can also be misinterpreted as "you will become stupid if you know it but don't think about it."

This Dyson sphere world obviously cannot reach the level of information explosion, but the situation in this world is worse.Because human beings at that time did not have any survival pressure at all, and even became a low-desire society.In such an extreme environment, it is normal for human intelligence to continue to decline.

And this world didn't degenerate to that extent until 5000 years ago. From Luo Yi's point of view, it is probably because this world has been replenished with "new blood".

Because he already knew this period of history, Luo Yi hurriedly asked Konstantin to start directly from the back.
