The soldiers went to the city in the sky, like locusts passing through the border, pulling at the golden walls and bombarding the dusty gates.
The establishment and decline of the Laputa civilization has not been verified. Possessing technology ahead of their time, they may have perished due to civil strife. And the clansmen living on the ground, do they want to return to the sky and sit on the throne, or are they ordinary people.
With his years of obsession, Muska will do anything to restore Laputa's reputation. He was crawling and rolling in the power on the ground, and finally raised his eyebrows with the power of Laputa, treating others like ants and garbage. It seemed like a single step in his dream, but he was blinded in the end and plunged into the sea with Laputa's war machine.
Sheila, an ignorant little girl grazing, holding the hand of a small miner, uttering the forbidden words of destruction, and giving Laputa a tomorrow without killing. Dora led the pirate family, not sad because of the loss of the ship, but imagined a new and better ship. She hugged the little girl who had experienced the disaster and cared about her cut hair.
I sighed at the demise of a high-tech civilization like Laputa, and felt that its destruction was inevitable. When a civilization has overriding technology, the original purpose of technology may no longer matter. The greed for wealth and power will dominate and eventually lead to fire. Scientists such as Oppenheimer who created the atomic bomb initially tried to prevent the atrocities of the German fascists. However, after he finally saw the panic explosion of the weapon made by himself, the scientists probably regretted it.
People's conquest of nature, power and territory has never stopped. Caesar, who rode on a high-headed horse and said, "I come, I see, and I conquer", probably thought of this magnificent Roman Empire for generations, and probably did not regret the Ptolemaic Alexandria Library that was burned down in the fire. Genghis Khan marched westward to the Danube River to expand the Mongolian Empire to a vast expanse that has never been seen before or since, and the souls of the dead under the iron-hoofed machete are no more than ants. And the wheel of history rolls mercilessly, the former dynasty has passed away, but the smoke of war on the earth is still unsettled. May the greed and hatred of man be torn apart with the murderous weapon they treasure as a spell like "Balus".
Civilization and destruction, war and peace, perhaps should not be antonyms. Robots guarding flowers, plants, birds and beasts may wonder, people are entangled with each other, restricting each other, what are they fighting for?
