Deep Space Fleet

After modifying the genetic driving force, survival is no longer the first priority, and some other things, such as beliefs, or certain desires, become the first priority of life, which avoids the possibility of sinking.

But this created another problem... nothing is perfect, level 5 civilization, and there are contradictions between level 5 civilizations.

"When there are conflicts in the direction of progress between different civilizations, these conflicting civilizations may break out the most dangerous wars."

"Our first priority is to survive, and various complicated interest relationships will be derived from this, and they don't mind giving their lives for their beliefs."

"So fundamentally, the way of thinking of the two is very different. I explain it this way, can you understand?"

Of course humans can understand these things. Civilizations below level 4, including level 4 civilizations, don’t have many conflicts. Due to the huge resources in the starry sky, most of them are ordinary civilizations. They don’t even have the ability to step into the starry sky, and they don’t have enough motivation to break out an interstellar war. . Especially after reaching the level of the fourth-level civilization, owning the planetary fortress and curvature technology, driving the planetary fortress, squatting in any corner of the Milky Way, it is difficult for even the fifth-level civilization to find them.

Even, like human civilization, is the current third-level technology enough? Of course it is enough!

It is only a matter of minutes for the new human civilization to achieve a very rich life. With the current intelligent robot production system, the vast majority of people can live a free life without working, just like the people in the cherry blossom world. Humans do.

However, people dare not!

Even if the quality of citizens has been greatly improved, they still dare not. The examples in various virtual worlds are living counterexamples, which have to be analyzed and studied every few months. If people live too freely without any oppression in life, the vast majority of people will become waste-like existences. This is also the root of the various economic systems and the civilization contribution system within the new human civilization.

On the other hand, this type of low-level interstellar civilizations are mostly greedy for life and afraid of death. After conflicts arise, they will test and mediate with each other, and then conduct political discussions and compromise with each other.

If communication is far easier than destroying each other, communication as much as possible will become the basic logic chain.

On the contrary, for civilizations above level five, due to the purification of thinking, all kinds of wordy and irrelevant things are all discarded, and it is easier to break out a devastating war of genocide.

As long as there is a huge conflict of thoughts, "Please die" is the best choice. When the mouth is invalid, the fifth-level civilization chooses to do it, and the fourth-level civilization will only use the mouth.

It's just scary!

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, no wonder there are so many low-level interstellar civilizations gathered in the trading market for a long time. On the one hand, with communication, technology can indeed develop more rapidly; on the other hand, here can get the safest shelter...

The Huatai civilization is only a fourth-level civilization, but the amoeba civilization behind it is a sixth-level civilization... Although the fifth-level civilization may not put "survival" as the first priority, it does not mean that they are irrational.

Of course, after some discussion, people generally feel that the conflict between the fifth-level civilizations cannot be all-round, and there will be compromises between them. Self-regulation is a rather esoteric subject, and the current wisdom of human beings can only peek into a small corner.

Otherwise, the universe would not be the way it is seen now.

The belief of a high-level civilization should not be a mandatory religious belief, but a purer goal, such as pursuing technological progress, maintaining the prosperity of civilization, or even "liberating the oppression of the entire universe" Things that seem very strange to humans, these beliefs will be written into the genes and become noble meanings in life.

"I think that the fifth-level civilization with a great tendency to destroy has probably been wiped out in tens of billions of years, and the rest are probably civilizations with relatively peaceful ideologies. Similar to Gaia civilization, Greek civilization The X civilization."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said: "This kind of belief should probably not be an illusory goal like 'technological progress'. These too empty directions are likely to bring human behavior patterns into a dead end. Human wisdom It’s limited, if you can’t see the goal, you don’t know how to work hard.”

"Actually, in human history, for a period of time, human beings did have a very lofty goal, and they were willing to fight for this goal for life, and their fighting will was strong and vigorous."

So, what is this time period?

World War II.

The soldiers sang high-spirited songs, lined up one by one, and went to death generously. Their anger was like a fire, burning the whole sky.

Zhang Yuan has experienced various virtual worlds, and the shining points of human nature will completely explode in some special times.

But unfortunately...

That world was ultimately a dark and lonely world, the red regime finally collapsed, and everything returned to its original state.

After all, the flash is just a flash and cannot replace the sun. In the end, it seems that nothing has happened.

"If you ignite the once flashing light into a real star... How powerful would such a civilization be! I seem to be able to imagine what a real fifth-level civilization would be like!"

Listening to Zhang Yuan's narration, some of the same returnees showed thoughtful expressions, and some work partners understood the whole meaning, but it was difficult to really feel the high-pitched emotions. What was it like? .

"During the war... Yes, including the years after World War II, people's beliefs are still very strong."

"However, how should this ideology be maintained for a long time, and even ingrained in the genes?"

It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to describe in words, Zhang Yuan shook his head, and after thinking about it, gave up the description in this aspect.

Only when these young people have truly experienced a similar era in the virtual world will they understand something. It is not very useful to use words to describe "they are great" and "they made sacrifices".

To put it bluntly, the influence of the times on human beings is huge. Without experiencing that environment, it is difficult to feel the magnificence that has happened in the past, and it is also difficult to ignite a real flame.

On the other hand, what about the sixth-level civilization after the fifth-level civilization? This question is brewing in everyone's mind.

In the end, Minister Chen Mu, who was still standing at the forefront, said: "This information is indeed very important, and even related to our future development direction. However, the fifth-level civilization is still too far away for us... Everyone shows that there is no need to worry Too many. Level 6 civilization is even more distant."

"Our civilization is still developing, and its potential is far from exhausted."

"As for the follow-up philosophy tree, the self-regulation system is a big project, which may be more complicated than the technology tree."

Zhang Yuan also nodded. In fact, every different ideology has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is bound to be irrational to blindly modify the thinking mode of the entire race before finding out the status.

Zhao Qingfeng patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, and said softly: "...I have also experienced a similar world. That kind of spirit is beautiful, but also extremely cruel, but it can only be preserved in a special time period."

"The landslide after the peak is really too fast. It is really hard to imagine what a civilization will eventually develop into if all citizens maintain a simple fighting spirit..."

Zhang Yuan sat down from his seat again, nodded, and took a small sip of water: "A fifth-level civilization... It's good to have a way forward. I'm curious, how about a sixth-level civilization? What is it like..."
