Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 759 There are 2 trees in front of the door, 1 is...

The whole process of the rise and fall of Easter Island is extremely objective in the eyes of the whole human society, objective to some indifference.

​​

This isolated island has become an excellent "experimental ground".

​​

Before modern times, there were no outsiders on Easter Island. On this remote island, the sediments at the bottom of the pond were completely undisturbed.

​​

In the 1990s, the latecomers of the technological explosion through exploration, through the study of the distribution of plant pollen in the sediments at the bottom of the ponds on the island, were very calm and clearly read the entire history of the thousand years.

​​

Before all kinds of evidence, it was like sitting in front of the TV and watching the whole process of the whole island from a lush forest to a sparse grassland.

​​

It is also clear what the islanders eat. The most direct evidence can be found only by analyzing the garbage dumps on the island where garbage and bones are piled up. It is not necessary to find a complete dolphin skeleton to determine that it is a dolphin. It only needs to be sequenced. You can tell what kind of animal it is.

​​

It is the use of these modern technologies that makes a former mysterious island gradually fade away, showing a kind of cursed doom.

​​

Without metal, the aborigines on the island can only make do with tools from the Stone Age, so in 1300 years, more advanced agricultural tools, weapons, and ships have not appeared, and foreign development cannot become a reality.

​​

People on Easter Island blindly worship stone statues, which also consumes huge resources and accelerates the overall collapse of the island's social structure.

​​

"Perhaps it can be said that once a closed ecosystem begins to decline due to human consumption, it will never have a chance to rise again. It will continue to fall, and it has been in a vicious circle."

​​

Bi Fang stopped and looked at the stone statue beside him.

​​

"Now many anthropologists, sociologists and environmentalists are very interested in the past of Easter Island, because they always feel that this may indicate the future destiny of mankind."

​​

Is this alarmist? No one knows the answer.

​​

From another point of view, if the area of ​​Easter Island is enlarged by 1,000 times, and the population of residents on the island is enlarged by a million times, it can almost be regarded as the earth.

​​

If the latecomers also stand from the perspective of God, if there are highly intelligent life on the island of the earth. Is there a lack of key geographical conditions for the development here?

​​

Isn't its natural resources also limited? Isn't it also hanging alone in the ocean of the universe? Isn't it also having no exchange of resources with other planets?

​​

So is its future an enlarged version of Easter Island? [Thinking about it!]

​​

[My brain is out of order, the doctor told me to eat and drink, not to think too much]

​​

[Such a lot of mental stress is not something I should bear as a primary school student. This kind of thing should give sociologists a headache (dog head)]

​​

[let me think about what to eat tonight]

​​

[I will not dust/wax the surface of satellites, nor will I design planets, maintain and maintain global oceans, repair/reinforce melting glaciers in the North and South Pole, and will not refurbish nuclear warheads, but today Thursday, Fu Ge v me 50, I help you eat kfc]

​​

"Yes, this kind of problem should be left to anthropologists and sociologists. I just want to cut down a suitable tree to make a boat."

​​

Bi Fang smiled.

​​

In fact, the disaster for the residents of Easter Island is more than that. In 1862, eight pirate ships visited here, took all the natives who could be slaves on board, and took a thousand people, which is half of the population. .

These thousand people are all men, including the chief himself, and the chief's children, not a single one was spared.

​​

And the smallpox virus was rampant at that time. Like the Indians, the indigenous people here also had no antibodies. Until 1865, when a French missionary landed on the island, he counted the number of people, and there were less than 500 people left on Easter Island.

​​

In the next 10 years, many of the remaining people moved to Tahiti with the caravan to seek a living.

​​

By 1877, 15 years after the massive slave slaughter, the number of people on the island was only 111.

​​

The population of Easter Island declined like a cliff: more than 20,000 people, more than 2,000 people, more than 1,000 people, less than 500 people, and finally only 111 people remained.

​​

Until April 5, 1888, which is also Easter, the Chilean government announced the occupation of Easter Island on that day, followed by continuous immigration, construction, and farming. Until now, an Easter Island dedicated to tourism has appeared in front of the world.

​​

An isolated island may not necessarily be the "Peach Blossom Land" described in "The land is flat, the houses are like houses, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. There is traffic on the hills, and chickens and dogs hear each other."

​​

More likely to be a repeat of the Easter Island tragedy.

​​

"The trees on the island now are almost all those that came to the island at the end of the 20th century when the tourism industry flourished. It may not have grown for 30 years. Naturally, no giant trees will appear."

​​

"However, there are also some trees that were transplanted because they were big enough..."

​​

Bi Fang stopped and looked at the resort in front of him.

​​

As a world-renowned tourist destination, Easter Island naturally has many tourist hotels, which are quite luxurious. Many packages cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Great service for a little more money.

​​

If it's cheap, these people will think it's not worth it.

​​

The reason why Bi Fang stopped here is because this resort is a little different.

​​

There are two big trees in front of it, one is a palm tree and the other is a palm tree...

​​

Can these two trees be cut? Bi Fang was a little moved.

​​

After wandering around the island for a short time, it has always been impossible to find a palm tree that grows naturally large enough, and it can only be transplanted the day after tomorrow.

​​

There is no doubt that the two trees at the entrance of the resort were transplanted. They are quite tall, with a height of at least 15 meters. Usually, a ten-meter-high palm tree takes nearly 20 years of growth. Fifteen meters, no trees more than 30 years old. Don't even think about it.

​​

In addition, Easter Island is very far away. If you want to transplant trees here, not to mention the price of the tree itself, the shipping cost alone is extremely high, which shows that this resort is doing well.

​​

There are so many dwarf trees on the island, but the first two trees in the resort are extremely tall and refreshing, and at the same time they add a touch of atmosphere, just like the welcoming pine on Mount Huangshan.

​​

Good material!

​​

Bi Fang stretched out his hand to touch the bark, which was rough and wide, with shaded leaves, and the growth was gratifying. At first glance, he was well cared for.

​​

Recalling what the official said to him with a pat on his chest when he was in Santiago: "To use the island's trees as a boat? No problem, just chop it down, as long as it is on the island, it's fine to chop it all down!"

​​

People can't talk without counting, right?
