At the same time, the business of trafficking in low-end human beings at the top of the Lenino civilization began again. Of course, the people selling it are still some poor homeless people who have taken too much C-type hormones.
Anyway, now that society has regained order, it's okay to secretly sell some people, as long as it's done unknowingly and the general public doesn't know about it. This time they no longer made similar mistakes, the internal spoils were distributed evenly, and no forces took the opportunity to break the news and cause trouble.
After having a large amount of experimental materials, Zhang Yuan returned to the battle star. He was busy with the "Thinking Acceleration" experiment all day long. He was so busy that he didn't pay much attention to the population recruitment of this first-level civilization.
Anyway, there are not many high-quality people screened out now. For the entire alliance, it is better than nothing, and its effect is even lower than that of the group of Gliese pangolins.
The Gliese pangolin still has considerable potential, at least in terms of cultural atmosphere, which is many times better than the people of Lenino.
Until one day in the second year, when Zhang Yuan was gathering with a group of old friends, he suddenly heard that this vigorous screening plan had been cancelled!
"...Why was it cancelled? After working for so long and using a digital virus to conduct a military exercise, it was actually cancelled?" Zhang Yuan took a sip of coffee and asked in confusion.
"No one joined, so we canceled it."
Li Zhendong sighed, with a strange smile: "In the first year, there were still five thousand experts and scholars who were carried away and wanted to join our alliance. As a result, time passed slowly and their heads calmed down. After coming down, they started to withdraw."
"From the time the first person quit, there was a second person. As a result, the number of people became smaller and smaller, until no one wanted to join us. So the whole plan had to be cancelled. Such a long cooling-off period was actually a result of our cooperation. It's a test, it's just that no one passed it."
Li Zhendong finally sighed: "In fact, we can imagine the reasons for their withdrawal. The gravity of reality is too great. Our alliance is still too unfamiliar to them and too insecure... This is normal."
Zhang Yuan was silent, and he didn't know what to comment.
After working hard for so long, it actually failed!
Perhaps there are indeed some capable people in this civilization who are eager to improve the general environment, but they will always be limited to various reasons and bow to reality. Since they don't want to, there is nothing they can do.
People have done their best, and I believe that after hearing about this incident, civilians will not criticize or accuse anything.
Zhang Yuan clicked on the phone screen again and found that the civil forum of the New Human Society was discussing this matter, but the popularity was not very high. After the failure of this project, it was equivalent to a waste of effort and even gave the other party a large amount of gold in vain.
As for the benefits, it cannot be said that there are none, that is, several military exercises have been successfully conducted, and sociology has made some progress.
Netizen "Ma Mingtao, Director of the Key Political Bureau" commented: "Netizens often ask this question recently, so I will focus on answering it..."
"After hearing about the failure of this big plan, I also felt a little depressed. Isn't our civilization attractive enough?"
"If you think about it carefully, this is actually true! Our alliance is not attractive enough! Because when you come to us from their planet, your living standards will not significantly improve, but will actually decrease!"
"If you think about it carefully, is this true?"
"Many of our entertainments, such as VR games, are actually controlled. Electronic hormones? They don't exist at all!"
"In their view, we live a life like ascetics. Productivity is developed, but entertainment life is not so good. Everyone's IQ is generally relatively high, but when they come here, they seem a bit imbecile. In this way, who would want to ?"
"What can they get after joining us? It's very simple. They can get the opportunity to travel among the stars, master more knowledge, and increase their horizons..."
"What will be lost? Everything you have now will be lost."
"Some people think that having more knowledge is not attractive enough? Of course not. It is difficult for individuals with different values to understand each other. We think knowledge is important, but they think entertainment and enjoyment are important."
"And their understanding of us is still only superficial, and they still have doubts in their hearts. So it is normal for them not to join."
Zhang Yuan nodded. This netizen was quite knowledgeable and what he said made sense. Things that humans think are good, the other person may not think so.
At this time, diplomat Lao Yang said: "Actually, I am thinking about a question. If there is a sixth-level civilization that comes to us to recruit people and is willing to give us great preferential treatment, we are willing to give up our current status and abandon Everything, follow them and leave?"
Zhang Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I think there should be some people who are willing. There are indeed some people in our civilization who only care about pursuing the truth and don't care too much about the outside world. Even if the Aleph civilization comes to recruit people from us, as long as our clan is not wiped out, there may be people who are willing to leave with us... This is also a fact."
"And I personally don't object to them leaving. It's normal to pursue a wider road...even if the strength of our new human civilization will be weakened as a result."
"In this regard, I think personal pursuits should be free. We also need to tolerate these people."
Everyone fell silent.
Li Zhendong suddenly said: "But the nature of the two is still different... The other side is a sinking civilization, and the way of thinking may be different from ours. They don't leave because of the gravity of reality and whether there is a more comfortable life. As for us, What I consider more may be personal dreams and the like, and there is no need to consider financial matters."
"Yeah, it's different." Zhang Yuan said: "A true level-6 civilization is a civilization per person, with its own unique pursuit goals...it seems to be the opposite of level-5 civilization, so I don't object. "
The gap between the fifth-level civilization and the sixth-level civilization is huge. The fifth-level civilization is where all the people modify their thoughts and form a huge cohesion to pursue the same dream for a long time.
But the sixth-level civilization has become powerful enough to achieve complete personal freedom, and everyone has their own great dreams.
Zhang Yuan could not imagine this social form and ideological situation very clearly. He could only describe it roughly... maybe because his current level of intelligence was not enough to imagine that stage.
People began to discuss again whether the development of science is for the advancement of civilization or for comprehensive personal freedom. This is another eternal topic.
"The fifth-level civilization and the sixth-level civilization seem to be two different directions..."
"Of course it cannot be ruled out that there are many directions for level-6 civilization. Some level-6 civilizations are one civilization per person, but there are also level-6 civilizations, such as Amoeba, which are still a whole and are not scattered. We are Not much is known about this type of civilization."
