Deep Space Fleet

Immediately afterwards, everyone boarded a long electric car, the seating space inside was very narrow, and the space between the two doors was as crowded as the sandwich between biscuits, making everyone quite uncomfortable .

The environment of the entire underground city is narrow and dark. Wang Junpeng always feels that he has gone to the underground dwarf kingdom in fantasy novels. These short "pangolins" are the so-called "dwarves".

From his point of view, living here would be very depressing, but the residents of this underground city are quite accustomed to the local life, and think that this is the hometown full of safety.

Along the way, he saw various deserted areas and abandoned buildings.

"The phenomenon of abandoned buildings can only be caused by a significant reduction in population..." Wang Junpeng thought to himself.

Has there been a large-scale war?

"Or...a natural or man-made disaster?"

He observed the surroundings carefully, and occasionally saw a few pangolins watching curiously by the side of the road. The overall atmosphere was quite peaceful, and there was no sense of tension after the disaster.

"It doesn't have to be war, so what is it, class solidification? End-producers?"

Unknowingly, Wang Junpeng's expression became quite solemn, and he was almost sure that this civilization was the kind that had completely declined and stepped into mediocrity.

There is almost no way to cover up this decline!

Even this group of Gliese people have become accustomed to it, and they don't bother to cover up anything.

Wang Junpeng couldn't help but feel a burst of luck and anxiety when he thought that a civilization that could completely defeat human beings had fallen into its present state under the impact of time.

Fortunately, they came a few years late...

It's not right... This civilization has declined tens of thousands of years ago, when human beings were still in the primitive man period.

What is disturbing is that the mediocrity trap in the universe is really terrifying to the extreme!

Wang Junpeng couldn't help but be deeply worried about the current high-spirited and rapidly rising new human civilization.

Nothing rises forever.

Haven't humans on earth already declined significantly? This kind of decline is not a decline in technology, but a decline in ideology and social structure. The entire civilization has become a mass of loose sand, and there is no way to complete super-large-scale projects...

A series of nouns can't help but jump out: environment, evolutionary defects, ideology, and... new civilization historiography?

Wang Junpeng couldn't help laughing at himself deeply, when did he become so noble, and still want to think about things tens of thousands of years later?

What happened to human beings at that time, and what does it have to do with me?

He licked his dry lips, and a question appeared in front of him. The other party exposed this fact, what exactly... do you want to do?

No one whispers in the earphones. On the one hand, it is to ensure etiquette. Commenting on other people’s premises is no different from a fool; on the other hand, they are afraid of being monitored. Even if these diplomats commit suicide, it is not enough to make up for their mistakes.

After half an hour, we arrived at the station.

The living area prepared by the Gliese for human beings is not too big, about 100 square meters. The air composition and atmospheric pressure inside are similar to the earth's atmosphere, and they can live normally without wearing spacesuits.

The only difference is that the gravity here is slightly stronger than that of the earth, and the activities are like carrying a ten-kilogram sandbag. Overall, it is a bit strenuous, but it will be fine once you get used to it.

Wang Junpeng picked up a helmet-like communication device on the bedside table. It is a VR device, and it is said that it can be used to experience "sensory tube movies".

I tried hard and found that my head was too big, and I was a little panicked. He quickly put it down, and looked at other things in the room, including some strange decorations, various electronic screens, service robots, etc., as well as some small toys, books, everything.

"It seems that this civilization knows how to enjoy... Hehe, is enjoying life a common feature of every civilization?"

The daily task of these diplomats is to talk to some Gliese people to understand each other's ideology, and by the way, they are sent to inspect a small part of the living area and industrial area.

Wang Junpeng found that, probably because of the daily routine, this civilization is really quite idle, and the government's organizational ability is not high.

The working hours of the people are very small, and they basically just do what they want, and don't do it. However, the productivity of this civilization is indeed not bad. Even if the people do not do much work, it can easily satisfy the survival of all the population.

During the investigation, many people will look at these aliens curiously, and even come up to have a few conversations, asking what kind of civilization human civilization is, whether they will attack them, and so on.

In the non-stop routine, Wang Junpeng quickly mastered more information.

"I have to say...you human race is really energetic. You only need to sleep for eight hours a day, and then you can wake up for a long time. Oh, by the way, this has something to do with the rotation of your planet. Rest at night, Sober during the day."

"But here we are in eternal twilight, and our work and rest habits are usually to rest for ten days, and then wake up for a day or two. It is much better now, with a unified work and rest. It was a hundred thousand years ago. Sleep, wake up when you want to wake up, it's a mess."

The senior Gliese official said with a little envy.

Immediately afterwards, it rejected this idea: "Unfortunately, the consequence of your energy is that your lifespan is too short. In ancient times, your average lifespan was only 30 years old...It's unbelievable...It's so pitiful. "

Wang Junpeng nodded and said: "You are right. In ancient times, we were not the top predators of the food chain, and the struggle for survival was extremely fierce. Because of the existence of oxygen, the trees in the forest are about ten meters high, and the largest herbivores Elephants weigh several tons, as well as tigers and lions...these beasts are beyond our strength."

"It is because of aerobic respiration that such a beast evolved!"

"Oxygen... Ah, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." The Gliese diplomat seemed to think of something when he heard this word, and shook his head slightly.

Wang Junpeng exaggerated again: "Yes, oxygen! In the more ancient times, one or two hundred million years ago, because of the very high concentration of oxygen, there existed a creature called a dinosaur, which could have a mass of several hundred tons! The highest Dinosaurs can reach a hundred meters!"

Seeing the surprised expression of this Gliese man, Wang Junpeng said without shame: "However, the size is not important, and the length of life is not important, but wisdom is more important. Many of our great men did it when they were young. Made important achievements, even their limbs are in a state of paralysis, just relying on their own clever heads... "

"That's right! Your words are too correct! No matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to an excavator." The Gliese diplomat echoed.

Wang Junpeng was so emotional that he even got goosebumps: "Yes, within a limited life, it is the survival philosophy of each of us to make more contributions to the entire civilization."

What an interstellar joke!

If it weren't for the pressure of survival, for a better life, who would want to work. Human beings are self-interested creatures. Even Wang Junpeng came to be an interstellar diplomat only for face, honor or money...

However, if the entire civilization can become better, it is okay to sacrifice a little bit of personal interests...but only a little...Wang Junpeng feels that he is about to be brainwashed by himself.

This high-ranking Gliese official seemed to be overwhelmed by Wang Junpeng's high-spirited remarks, and asked again: "By the way, don't individuals in your civilization engage in recreational activities? For example, art..."

"Art, of course!"

"Isn't the meaning of life just to feel the passage of time? Plant a small grass yourself, watch it grow slowly, bloom, bear fruit, and wither... There are infinite and natural philosophical principles in it."

"Isn't that what our whole life is like? Where there is birth, there will be death."

"Our sage once said that the dead are like a man, never giving up day and night...meaning, time is like flowing water."

The Gliese senior official was very excited by what he said, as if he had met a real bosom friend: "Yes, there are similar words among our great men, time is like a typhoon, and every typhoon is different... "
