Deep Space Fleet

"That's right, thank you for your answer."

Wang Junpeng rubbed his chin, he finally understood why the artworks of Gliese Civilization are quite valuable.

Because the art of Gliese civilization expresses the hard pursuit of science and thinking about life.

Even humans can feel the resentment of pursuing so hard but not getting it...

As for some religious art of other civilizations, at best it can only be regarded as a curiosity, trying to empathize with it-that is impossible.

"Do you know what the stupidest civilization in the universe is?" Prince Bart pointed to his head, and said happily: "The first one, for some reason, the population of the entire civilization, bad money replaces good money, and As for civilizations where the whole race is getting stupider."

"Being more and more stupid...is there still such a civilization?" Wang Junpeng was puzzled.

"No, no, there are so many civilizations like this!"

"It's obviously a weak civilization that can't be weaker. A big meteorite can make them extinct, poor people, but they have to do something culturally correct inside..." Prince Bart said: "In the end, bad money replaced good money. Excellent individuals are unwilling to reproduce, the number is getting smaller and smaller, and then they are replaced by inferior races, and civilization naturally stops progressing."

As he spoke, he laughed loudly, "Tell me, is this the stupidest civilization?"

"Even nature chooses the survival of the fittest. It's fine for these poor people not to cater to them. They actually want to resist this natural law! There is a sentence that can describe such a race, the kind-hearted faction of the Virgin, replaced by the unkind faction, this Isn't it natural?"

"When I first saw these things in a textbook, I burst out laughing! It's so stupid!"

Wang Junpeng understood the meaning of the other party, "What you said makes sense. But many things have historical inevitability. What you said cannot be regarded as the stupidity of the entire civilization... Sigh, it is very complicated, not as simple as you imagined. .”

The Badit civilization is a civilization that extremely advocates interests, and from a certain point of view, it is also a civilization that advocates wisdom, and even maintains slavery. Their ancestors suddenly mutated from short-lived species to long-lived species.

The probability of outstanding individuals obtaining benefits will undoubtedly be greater and they will be able to live better.

It is difficult for them to understand that this kind of bad money replaces good money.

"Then what about the second one?"

Prince Bart continued: "The second most stupid, of course, are all kinds of messy religious civilizations. In particular, some civilizations that have developed brilliant science and technology have regressed for some reason! It's the second stupidest civilization."

"Why? There is also a civilization that has developed technology and regressed back?" Wang Junpeng widened his eyes, pretended to be shocked, and asked again in disbelief.

This startled tone almost touched Prince Bart's itching, and made him talk more excitedly: "Of course, there are many reasons. The first possibility is that after a certain stage of development, the technology gets stuck and no longer Development, you think, science is no longer developing, and there is no way to explain everything, so it can only resort to religion."

"The second possibility is that an irresistible natural disaster occurred, leading to the prevalence of various doomsday religions... For example, a meteorite, although it did not destroy the entire civilization, destroyed the spirit of the entire civilization."

"The third type is man-made disasters. For various political reasons, they want to use religion to confuse the people and stabilize the regime, but it gets out of hand and leads to regression..."

"So, as long as a civilization no longer develops, a large number of individuals will be lost and confused, and they can only pin their spirits on illusory things. Creatures are really fragile. When you find that there are always some things that cannot be solved, you will Losing that spirit, you know."

Wang Junpeng nodded. This is very possible. Don't think that religion will disappear with the development of science.

Even in the 22nd century, 25th century, and 30th century, there are still various religions in the civilization of the earth, the reasons for which are very complicated, such as unsatisfactory life, or the ambition of some people, and so on.

"There are too many people who put their faith in it, and it is easy to cause the direction of the entire civilization to go out of control, and naturally it will be chaotic." Prince Bart lowered his voice and said secretly: "50,000 years ago, there was even a fourth-level civilization. , Civil war broke out because of poor handling of internal religious issues!"

"It's a good time to plunder. There are a lot of third-level civilizations participating in this war!"

"...Level 4 civilization, you dare to rob?" Wang Junpeng wondered.

He said carelessly: "Why not? A fourth-level civilization that has a civil war, even if it wants to re-emerge, it will take tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. What are you afraid of? Don't you want to get curvature technology? This technology , In the interstellar trading place, it is impossible for a third-level civilization to afford it! Unless the entire civilization has worked for the exchange for 100,000 years, would you like it?!"

"Okay." Wang Junpeng understood that these robbers really had their heads tied to their waistbands, and humans were too cautious in comparison.

This kind of thinking, how should I put it... has its advantages and disadvantages.

"All in all, this type of civilization is definitely the second stupid civilization."

Prince Bart talked eloquently, "This is true of interstellar civilization, and so is primitive civilization. You have never seen such a weird scene. Even interstellar civilization is similar to primitive civilization at a certain level."

"Religion is not necessarily bad... A religion that can constantly innovate its teachings to adapt to the times can give people greater spiritual strength. After all, science cannot explain everything at present. But this kind of uncivilized civilization , Usually it is a religion that sticks to fundamental principles, do you think, now you actually want to obey the rules and regulations formulated by your ancestors tens of thousands of years ago?"

"Even if that ancestor is very wise and smart, can he imagine the current world?

"Can he imagine your life on a spaceship? Does he know the mass-energy equation?"

"he can not!"

Wang Junpeng nodded involuntarily. This is a very interesting point of view.

"So, what about the third stupid civilization?"

"Of course self-destructive civilizations. Like technological self-destruction, nuclear bomb crisis, oh, yes, there are also some civilizations that have stayed in the Middle Ages for a long time, living a meaningless reincarnation, just like the Riley star you are about to arrive... The third stupid civilization has not yet been divided into a high and a low level, after all, there are 10,000 different kinds of stupid."

"So, how difficult it is to become a real interstellar civilization."

"Human civilization, we may be able to reach a real business alliance. Our Badit civilization has already touched the threshold of the third-level civilization, and you are also working hard for it?"

"Why don't we form a business alliance and exchange the technologies of both parties? This way, the technological progress of both parties will be greatly accelerated. And I can act as an ambassador." Prince Bart has already started to get excited when he said this, this time he It is genuine will.

If you can reach a friendly agreement and trade with another interstellar civilization, what a feat it is.

As for losing one's spaceship, being captured, etc., in front of the real big harvest, they are all just floating clouds, and they will even become synonymous with noble character and firm will!
