Chapter 774: A new civilization
"I quite like how I am now. Facing the unknown, I always have a sense of expectation. If I really change my mind because of this, there will be no problem!"
"To be precise, it's curiosity... I once read a novel in which there was a kind of creature called demon. They are cold and ruthless, have endless lives, and the meaning of their existence is to satisfy their curiosity."
Li Zhendong is looking at this yellow dwarf star in an astronomical telescope. Its age is about 4.5 billion years, and it is still a relatively young star. Specific data on the surrounding planets has not yet been released. However, there are several planets located in the habitable zone, where traces of life can be found with a high probability.
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Yes, hemispheric civilization has found its own path, but we humans have been restricted by something. Human beings have not dared to take this step, and have lingered for too long. I think The more we have, the more we don't know how to move forward. How can human wisdom be foolproof? It's better to just get over it."
Li Zhendong said: "How are you preparing to do at the Illusion Laboratory?"
Zhang Yuan sighed: "Theoretically, our technology is close to maturity. We can bypass various limitations of genetic philosophy by modifying memory and values, and then establish a new value system to upload thoughts to the computer. , realize silicon-based transformation!"
These technologies are summed up by combining a large amount of experimental experience from hemispheric civilizations. If we had not encountered this crazy and bold civilization, we would not have been able to figure out these memory tampering methods even if we had given humans ten thousand years. Because the entire research process was too difficult, and too many people from the hemisphere were sacrificed.
It is difficult to achieve this step by relying solely on the experiments of indigenous people. The opposition to this technology of memory modification is huge within humans alone.
Li Zhendong nodded: "...Actually, I think that the so-called direction of progress and the grand goal of civilization do not need to be agreed by everyone in the new human civilization. The entire civilization now has more than 900 million people and will soon have a population of 1 billion. , one person can drown us with just one word!"
"What is justice, what is evil, and whether eating dog meat is a civilized behavior? These messy topics have been debated for three days and three nights without being able to figure it out. In this case, do you want everyone to vote for it? Impossible ah!"
Since the hemispheric civilization took a crucial step, the top leaders of the new human civilization have begun to have more thoughts.
Some people, like Li Zhendong, feel that it is impossible to unify the thoughts of all mankind.
Whether it is the pressure from the external situation in the galaxy or the high-intensity competition within the alliance, they are all prompting major changes in the new human civilization.
As soon as possible, as soon as possible!
"If you really can't accept it, you might even want to split civilization... What do you think?"
Some radicals have already begun to prepare for this. The new human civilization does have such radicals. They are able to sacrifice everything for the progress of the entire civilization.
"If we can avoid splitting, we'd better try not to split. That will seriously damage our vitality."
Zhang Yuan sighed, shook his head, and became silent.
Humanity is no longer what it used to be. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. They launched an Earth Era ship and split into a sub-civilization.
The technology of level four civilization requires a large population to maintain. Becoming a level five civilization is not that simple. The operation of the Unreal Laboratory alone requires the support of a large amount of talents and material resources.
Even if a small number of radicals succeed in splitting a new civilization, the population will not be enough. Unless the radicals can split most of the property and population of the new human civilization, the entire plan can be considered a success.
It would not mean much if only a spaceship like the "Earth Era" was separated, or if there were only a few million or tens of millions of people.
"Moreover, the current interstellar situation is no longer the same as before. It is not wise to have conflicts."
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Yuancai said: "We cannot be like the Aleph civilization. If we don't accept the same ideas, we will forcibly assimilate them. Hey, let's seek common ground while reserving differences. Those who can accept transformation, then accept transformation, and those who cannot accept it, then No reform. I think these two kinds of thinking can coexist. In an alliance, even aliens can be tolerated, and there should be no problem in tolerating some compatriots who don't want to reform!"
"The only difficult thing now is how to reform our thinking. Should we deprive ourselves of some emotional sainthood?"
The current huge social impact is actually part of the plan when the hemispheric civilizations were admitted to join the alliance.
Modifying your thoughts is tantamount to killing the current "I" and giving birth to a brand new "I".
The first step is the issue of death. When a person's way of thinking fundamentally changes, can he be considered dead? Even philosophers can't explain why, and ordinary people are even more panicked about it.
Second, the new "I" needs to be defined by humans themselves. This step of definition is also very difficult. It is difficult to integrate the opinions of the people within the New Humanity.
However, the philosophy of genetic modification is a systematic project, and it cannot work without the support of the public.
So at that time, the top leaders of New Humanity believed that it would be difficult to take these difficult steps just relying on their own internal factors. Deciding to borrow some external force, that is, the civilization of the hemisphere, to provide external stimulation can twist the people's hearts into a rope. Anyway, when the time comes, I can only move forward if I bite the bullet.
I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Nowadays, people can hear arguments everywhere, and the examples of hemispheric civilization are really before their eyes. This kind of stimulation is really too great, even greater than the stimulation of Aleph civilization!
Because the Aleph civilization itself is much more powerful than humans, and the Hemisphere civilization is just a little brother following behind...
This is just like the earth's civilization period, when a group of rural poor went to work in the city. When they saw the original rich people, they would only feel envious and jealous. This emotion is not strong, because the other party is originally a wealthy person.
But for the same wage earners, if suddenly one of the worst offenders seizes the opportunity and becomes the same tycoon, then the stimulation to others will inevitably be greater. Some people will work harder, while others will have evil thoughts due to strong jealousy. This is the nature of human beings, which has never changed for thousands of years.
Most people in the new human civilization are still willing to work hard and not let this little brother catch up.
Now people have 500 to 1,000 years to accept this fact more quickly, and either make changes as soon as possible, or become someone else's little brother.
[Change! Change! We must change. If we don't change, we would rather die! ]
This is a post posted by Ma Mingtao, the director of the Political Bureau. It contains a lot of content and has received a lot of likes from netizens.
Some people who don't mind the matter have already begun to quarrel with each other.
There are those who block the blame with yin and yang: "Haha, you are a loser who doesn't want to change, garbage."
Some people think that this behavior betrays humanity: "Abandoning the path of humanity is tantamount to committing suicide!"
Others are discussing the age-old topic of "what does it mean to be human?"
Anyway, no matter what, you can spray it.
[It is strongly recommended that the values be made into modules to provide everyone with free choices. For example, you can freely install a diligent template and a liver-breaking template...]
This is the original and eternal advice of a science fiction writer, and there are a lot of people below urging him to update his novels.
"Yes, Eternal Life was too lazy at first, with so few updates, and always asking for leave. It would be great if the diligent template could be loaded. In this way, he would be happy coding, and we would also be happy watching it."
"Author, I want to read 100,000 words a day. It's best to finish it today."
"Strongly agree that templates can be loaded freely!"
"Do you know that the more you explode, the happier you feel?"
Looking at the rumors on the Internet, Zhang Yuan gave a wry smile. To load the so-called template, he had to modify his thinking framework before he could do it. There had to be an existing sequence.
Under the original human thinking model, it is difficult to forcefully insert a template into it. Even if you can really fit in one template, you can't fit in the second or third one.
Just like that, amid the noisy quarrel, the Alliance fleet was approaching its destination...
…
The civilizations in the hemisphere are busy formulating new systems and celebrating the 367 memory templates of their birthplace; the new humans are beginning to quarrel over this matter. People's attention has been distracted a lot, and they are no longer looking forward to new explorations and discoveries as before.
However, surprises are always born unintentionally. The astronomers of the new human civilization are still working conscientiously without delaying their work due to internal political affairs.
They were surprised to find that the geographical structure of this planetary system was actually very weird - there were two large planets next to each other, almost in the same orbit!
This is like the twin relationship between the moon and the earth. In this newly discovered planetary system, the mass of one of them is about 1.1 times that of the earth, and the other is 0.96 times that of the earth. The average distance between the two is 1.2 million kilometer.
The most important thing is that these two planets in the habitable zone both have a lot of water resources!
One is blue and the other is red, like two gems of different colors, floating quietly in the universe, extremely beautiful.
"Two planets with possible life were discovered at once? Interesting, this is so interesting! If civilizations were born on both planets...oh, civilizations were born at the same time, that would be even more interesting!"
"In the sociology of the universe, if two technological civilizations are born at the same time, with similar technological levels, fierce competition between them will easily lead to the birth of more advanced civilizations."
This great discovery has slightly diluted the heated discussions within civilization and diverted some of the attention of the people.
"It's wonderful to think about it. It's possible for life to be born on two planets at the same time... but it's almost impossible for technological civilization to be born at the same time."
In the observatory, a female worker said slightly sentimentally: "The birth of civilization is just the last second in the history of evolution. The birth of civilization means the end of the natural evolution of the planet, leaving the fate of most species to the hands of In the hands of intelligent civilization... it is very likely that there will be mass extinction of species."
Another boy said cheerfully: "Don't say that... The planet never cares about the life and death of intelligent life. Don't take intelligent species too seriously."
"Before the birth of intelligent species, all life was eating back and forth on the planet. After the birth of intelligent species, life was still eating back and forth among each other, but there was always the possibility of exploring the truth of the universe. There is only Such a small difference."
Just as these poets were sighing with emotion, a young man suddenly shouted: "Hey, hey, don't make any noise first. Look what I found, there is a black spot here...a black spot!"
"It can't be their space port!"
His voice became louder and louder, and he danced and said: "Haha! There is a civilization here, a civilization that has entered the space age! We finally encountered an intelligent civilization!"
Everyone quickly followed his finger and sure enough, in the photo, a small black spot appeared near one of the planets.
This fact quickly excited everyone. Being able to photograph it with a telescope shows that this guy is indeed not small.
It is impossible to photograph an artificial satellite with a diameter of only a few meters.
"Maybe it's just a big meteorite? Don't get too happy too soon!"
The young man calculated quickly for a while, and said with certainty: "It must be a space port, because the location of this black spot is located at the Lagrange point of the two planets! I can guarantee it!"
Everyone made calculations and their expressions changed.
Lagrange point, also known as translation point, is one of the five special solutions to the restricted three-body problem in celestial mechanics. A small object is under the gravitational pull of two large objects. At that point, the small object remains essentially stationary relative to the two large objects.
It is a very, very good choice to build the space port at the Lagrange point of the two planets.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of Lagrangian points appearing in large natural meteorites is too small...almost negligible.
Therefore, there is a high probability that it is an intelligent civilization... and an intelligent civilization with a spaceport!
The news quickly spread throughout the entire alliance. Passing through four yellow dwarf stars, people once again discovered an intelligent civilization, and it was a civilization with aerospace technology. It was a huge surprise!
Some people have temporarily put aside their arguments and are curious to explore its specific history and culture to see if they can bring some reference.
Yes, way forward, it's important!
If there is enough potential, people will also want to absorb some outstanding scientists as a subsidiary civilization.
Of course, no one can be sure whether the Aleph civilization's detectors have assimilated this civilization. Therefore, all actions must be more cautious and cautious, and cannot be made in a big way.
…
"Dear new human friends, we are actually not very interested in the cultivation of subsidiary civilizations. We think the current development method is very good... but if your civilization has such needs, we will not object. Towards the Fifth The road to advanced civilization is rugged and long, and we really need to find some reference... Even if these civilizations are more advanced, they may be able to bring inspiration."
"If there is danger, we will also join in the confrontation, so please don't worry."
The leaders of the hemispheric civilization made a very friendly suggestion at this meeting, saying that their civilization was too busy and would not participate in this operation, as long as humans sent them a copy of the investigation report.
Because of the birth of the 367th memory template, a major turning point is taking place within the hemispheric civilization, and a large number of related internal affairs have to be reworked. All kinds of messy trivial matters have made them really exhausted mentally and physically, and they have no energy or interest to investigate other aliens. Civilized.
From the perspective of people in the Hemisphere, the battle star Kyushu belongs to the New Humanity anyway, and the trading market is free competition, with a system of self-restraint for profits and losses. How many subsidiary civilizations are cultivated has nothing to do with the civilization of the Hemisphere...
Anyway, it is not cultivated by people from the hemisphere, as long as the new humans can control it themselves.
But if they really encounter danger due to investigating other civilizations, they will still join the battle and will not shrink back.
This is a very friendly commitment.
Naturally, the New Humanity also gave the other party face, saying that they would not continue to investigate here. Anyway, the entire fleet has to stop for rectification and maintenance. If the maintenance of all battle stars is completed, it will start again and will not be delayed here for a long time.
Just like that, after all the decisions were discussed, the leading exploration team set off quietly. Soon, they would bring people first-hand information and say hello.
