Deep Space Fleet

"I really like the way it is now. Facing the unknown, I always hold a sense of expectation. If you really modify your thinking because of this, there is no problem!"

"To be precise, it's curiosity... I once read a novel in which there was a creature called a demon. They were cold and ruthless, and had endless lives. The purpose of their existence was to satisfy their own curiosity."

Li Zhendong is looking at this yellow dwarf star in the astronomical telescope. Its age is about 4.5 billion years, and it is still a relatively young star. The specific data of the surrounding planets have not yet been released. However, there are several planets in the habitable zone, where there is a high probability that traces of life can be found.

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Yes, the civilization of the hemisphere has found its own path, but we humans are restricted by some things. Human beings have been hesitant to take this step, and have been lingering for too long. Thinking More and more, I don’t know how to move forward. How can human wisdom be foolproof? It’s better to go straight through.”

Li Zhendong said: "How are you doing at the Unreal Lab?"

Zhang Yuan sighed: "Theoretically, our technology is close to maturity. By modifying memory and values, we can bypass the various restrictions of genetic philosophy, and then establish a new value system and upload our thoughts to the computer. , to achieve silicon-based transformation!"

These technologies are summed up by combining a large amount of experimental experience of hemispheric civilization. If we hadn't encountered this crazy and bold civilization, it would have been impossible to solve these methods of memory tampering if we gave human beings 10,000 years. Because the whole research process was really too difficult, and too many hemispheres were sacrificed.

It is very difficult to achieve the current step only by relying on the experiments of the indigenous people. The technology of memory modification alone has great opposition from human beings.

Li Zhendong nodded: "...Actually, I think that the so-called direction of progress and the goal of civilization do not need everyone in the new human civilization to agree. Now the entire civilization has more than 900 million people, and it will soon have a population of 1 billion. , A word of saliva from one person can drown us!"

"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. There is no way to figure it out. In this case, is it necessary for everyone to vote for it? Impossible ah!"

Since the hemispheric civilization took a crucial step, the high-level of the new human civilization has faintly had more thoughts.

Some people, like Li Zhendong, feel that it is impossible to unify the thoughts of all mankind.

Whether it is the coercion of the external situation of the galaxy or the high-intensity competition within the alliance, they are all prompting major changes in the new human civilization.

ASAP, ASAP!

"If you really can't accept it, maybe you really want to split civilization... What do you think?"

Some radicals have already begun to prepare for this matter. The new human civilization does have such radicals. They can sacrifice everything for the progress of the entire civilization.

"If you can't split, try not to split, that will seriously hurt your vitality."

Zhang Yuan sighed, shook his head, and became silent.

Human beings are no longer like before. Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. When launching an Earth Age, a sub-civilization is split.

The technology of level 4 civilization requires a large population to maintain. It is not that simple to become a fifth-level civilization. The operation of the Unreal Lab alone requires the support of a large number of talents and material resources.

Even if a small number of radicals successfully split a brand new civilization, the population is not enough. Unless the radicals can split most of the property and population of the new human civilization, the whole plan can be considered a success.

If only a spaceship like the "Earth Age" is split off, or if there are only a few million or tens of millions of people, it doesn't make much sense.

"Moreover, the current interstellar situation is different from the past. It is not wise to have conflicts."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yuan said: "We can't be like the Aleph civilization. If we don't accept the same ideas, we can forcibly assimilate them. Hey, let's seek common ground while reserving differences. Those who can accept the transformation, then accept the transformation, and those who can't accept it, then No transformation. I think these two kinds of thinking can coexist. An alliance can tolerate even aliens, and it shouldn’t be a problem to tolerate some compatriots who don’t want to be transformed!”

"The only difficulty now is how to reform the mind. Is it deprived of some emotional sainthood?"

The current huge social impact is actually a part of the plan when he accepted the hemisphere civilization to join the alliance.

Modifying thoughts is tantamount to killing the current "I" and giving birth to a brand new "I".

The first step is the question of death. When a person's way of thinking changes fundamentally, does he count as death? Even philosophers can't explain why, and ordinary people panic about it.

Second, the brand-new "I" needs to be defined by human beings, and the definition link of this step is also very difficult. It is difficult to integrate the opinions of the people within the new humanity.

But the philosophy of genetic modification is a systematic project, and it will not work without the support of the public.

So at that time, the senior executives of New Humankind believed that it was difficult to get out of this difficult step by relying on their own internal factors. Decided to borrow some external force, that is, hemispheric civilization, to carry out external stimulation, so that people's hearts can be twisted into a rope. Anyway, when the time comes, we can only move forward.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Now people can hear arguments everywhere, and the example of hemispheric civilization is really in front of them. This kind of stimulation is really too great, even greater than the stimulation of Aleph civilization!

Because the Aleph civilization itself is much stronger than human beings, and the hemisphere civilization is just a little brother following behind...

This is like the period of earth civilization, when a group of poor people from the countryside went to work in the city, and when they saw the original local tyrants, they would only feel envious and jealous. This kind of emotion is not strong, because the other party is a local tyrant.

But for the same wage earners, suddenly there is one who is the worst, seizes the opportunity and becomes the same local tyrant, then the stimulation for others will inevitably be even greater. Some people will work harder, while others will have evil thoughts under the strong jealousy. The nature of human beings is like this, and it has never changed for thousands of years.

Most people in the new human civilization are still willing to work hard to prevent this little brother from catching up.

Now people have 500 to 1,000 years to accept this fact more quickly, either to make changes as soon as possible, or to be someone else's younger brother instead.

【Change! Change! Must change, don't change, or give me death! 】

This is a post published by Ma Mingtao, director of the Jian Political Bureau. It contains a lot of content and has won a lot of likes from netizens.

Some things that are not too big a problem have already started to spray each other.

There are those who cover their hats with yin and yang strangeness: "Hehe, perishers who don't want to change, garbage."

There are also those who think that this kind of behavior betrays mankind: "Giving up the way of mankind is tantamount to suicide!"

There are also people who are discussing the age-old topic of "what is human beings".

Anyway, no matter what, it can be sprayed.

[It is strongly recommended to make values ​​into modules, which can provide everyone with free choice, for example, you can freely install a diligent template, and you can install a hot liver template...]

This is the original and eternal suggestion of a science fiction writer, and there are a lot of people below who are urging his novels to be updated.

"Yeah, Eternal was too lazy at the beginning, with so few updates, he asked for leave every now and then. It would be great if he could load the diligent template. In this way, he will be happy to code and we will be happy to watch it."

"Author, I want to read 100,000 words a day. It's best to finish it today."

"Strongly agree that templates are free to load!"

"The more you explode, the happier you feel, do you know?"

Looking at the gossip on the Internet, Zhang Yuan smiled wryly. To load the so-called template, he had to modify the thinking frame first, and there had to be an existing sequence.

Under the original human thinking mode, it is difficult to forcefully insert a template into it. Even if one template can be inserted, there is no way to insert the second or third.

In this way, amidst the noisy quarrels, the alliance fleet has approached its destination...

...

The civilization of the hemisphere is busy formulating a new system, and celebrating the 367 memory templates in the birthplace; the new human beings have started to quarrel about 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, and the astronomers of the new human civilization are still working diligently, without delaying their work due to internal political affairs.

They were surprised to find that the geographical structure of this planetary system is actually very strange-there are two large planets, which are 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, one of the planets is about 1.1 times the mass of the earth, and the other is 0.96 times 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 gemstones of different colors, quietly floating in the universe, extremely beautiful.

"Discovered two possible life planets at once? Interesting, this is so interesting! If civilizations were born on both planets... oh, civilizations were born at the same time, it would be even more interesting!"

"In cosmic sociology, if two technological civilizations are born at the same time, with similar technological levels, fierce competition between them will easily give birth to a more advanced civilization."

This great discovery has slightly weakened the heated discussions within the civilization and diverted some of the attention of the people.

"Think about the beauty, it is possible for two planets to have life at the same time... but it is almost impossible to have a technological civilization at the same time.

In the observatory, a female worker said with a little sentimentality: "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, and the fate of most species is handed over to In the hands of intelligent civilizations... it is very likely that there will be a mass extinction of species."

Another boy giggled and said, "Don't say that... The planet never cares about the life and death of intelligent life. Don't take intelligent life too seriously."

"Before the birth of intelligent species, all life was eating and eating on the planet. After the birth of intelligent species, life is still eating and eating each other, but it is always possible to explore the truth of the universe. Only Such a difference."

Just when these poets were expressing their emotions, a young man suddenly yelled: "Hey, please stop arguing. Look what I found. There is a black spot here... a black spot!"

"It won't be their space port!"

His voice was getting louder, and he said with dancing: "Haha! There is a civilization here, and there is a civilization that has entered the space age! We have finally encountered an intelligent civilization!"

Everyone hurriedly looked at his fingers, and sure enough, in the photo, a small black spot appeared near one of the planets.

This fact quickly excited everyone, and being able to photograph it with a telescope showed that this guy was indeed not small.

An artificial satellite with a diameter of only a few meters cannot be photographed at all.

"Maybe it's just a big meteorite? Don't be too happy!"

The young man calculated quickly for a while, and said in a positive tone: "It must be a space port, because the position of this black spot is located at the Lagrangian point of the two planets! I can guarantee it!"

Everyone calculated 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 body is under the gravitational force of two large bodies, at which point the small body remains essentially at rest relative to the two large bodies.

Building the space port at the Lagrange point of the two planets is a very, very good choice.

In general, 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 it is an intelligent civilization with a space port!

The news quickly spread throughout the entire alliance. Passing by four yellow dwarfs, people once again discovered an intelligent civilization, and it was a civilization with aerospace technology. It was simply a huge surprise!

Some people temporarily put aside the debate, curious to explore its specific history and culture, and see if it can bring some reference.

Yes, the way forward, it's important!

If there is enough potential, people also want to absorb some outstanding scientists as subsidiary civilizations.

Of course, no one can be sure whether the detectors of the Aleph civilization have assimilated this civilization. Therefore, all actions should be more cautious, and one should not make a big fuss.

...

"Dear new human friends, we don't have much interest in the cultivation of affiliated civilizations. We think the current development method is very good... But if your civilization needs this, we have no objection. To five The road of super civilization is bumpy and long, and we really need to find some references... even if these civilizations are even lower, they may also be able to bring inspiration."

"If we encounter danger, we will also join the confrontation, please don't worry."

The leaders of the hemispheric civilizations kindly put forward their own suggestions in this meeting, saying that their own civilizations are too busy to participate in this operation, as long as human beings send 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 civilization of the hemisphere, and a large number of related internal affairs have to be reorganized. All kinds of messy trivial matters have made them really exhausted, and they have no energy and interest to investigate other aliens. civilized.

From the perspective of people in the hemisphere, the Battle Star Kyushu belongs to the new humans anyway, and the trading market is also a system of free competition and self-responsibility for profits and losses. How many affiliated civilizations are cultivated has nothing to do with the hemisphere civilization...

Anyway, it's not the cultivation of hemisphere people, as long as the new human beings can control it.

But if they are really in danger because of investigating other civilizations, they will still join the battle and will not shrink back because of it.

This is a very friendly promise.

And the new human side naturally gave face to the other party, saying that they would not continue to investigate here. Anyway, the entire fleet has to stop for maintenance. If the maintenance of all the battle stars is over, they will start again, and there will be no long-term delay here.

In this way, after all the decisions have been discussed, the leading exploration team set off quietly, and soon, they will bring first-hand information to people and say hello.
