The human diplomat glanced at the pangolins and replied: "All civilizations have risen from the weak. We don't care whether they are currently strong or not. We only care whether they bring progress to the entire alliance."

"As long as it brings improvement to the league, then everything makes sense."

It turned out that this backward civilization was called the Gliese civilization, and Aoun shook his head slightly.

For some reason, he was a little envious.

"Are they good at math?"

"Yes, they are really good at math, and they are willing to work hard for it all their lives."

There are no pure mathematicians in the Laenino people. The golden age of scientific research is too long from their time, so long that they are about to forget that period of history.

This amnesia makes the orangutans not very able to understand this state of frenzy. They just came to a conclusion that as long as there is a civilization with a skill, it may be able to join this alliance.

But what skills do their civilization have to meet the standards of this alliance?

biology? Research on bugs?

Or those miscellaneous pseudoscience? Although pseudoscience is very easy to write papers on, it is very difficult to produce results. An interstellar alliance must have enough ways to identify these pseudosciences.

"Hey..." Aoun exchanged glances with his think tank again, secretly remembered the information in his heart, and did not speak again.

These are smart people who have experienced political edification, so naturally they will not put forward their demands too bluntly. How can there be any reason to ask to join the alliance just after coming here and visiting a politics?

It would be strange not to be rejected.

Next, after visiting the interstellar trading market, the diplomats led the Laenino people to visit the Union University, which is an academic institution jointly established by multiple species. The level of knowledge of any ordinary undergraduate student is comparable to that of a well-known professor of the Laenino civilization. This fact makes some experts and scholars who follow behind feel so ashamed that they can't even lift their heads.

A group of people came to the literature exhibition hall again, and exchanged some literary works with each other to enhance mutual understanding. However, recently, the Laenino civilization has not produced any particularly good literary works, and can only exchange some very ancient works.

As for why there are no excellent literary works born, there are many reasons, and the civilization of the perishers has always been like this.

Finally, I visited the Interstellar Museum of Kyushu.

Most of the text in the museum is written in human language, and a small part is the language of Gaia civilization. However, the Laenino people don't even have translations in this area, so they can only look at the pictures and get a general idea through the manual translations of diplomats.

...

"How about it? It feels good to receive this low-tech civilization, right? I saw their surprised expressions. This is the first time we have received alien species on the Kyushu."

Zhang Yuan rushed to the scene by high-speed train and asked Lao Yang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the monitoring room.

Most of the work of visiting the Laenino civilization now is done by young people, and the elderly can just watch through monitoring. If something is not done well, these young people will still be criticized afterwards. But judging from the current situation, they have done well.

Yang Fan said contentedly: "This feeling... is not only good? This is the meaning of the so-called progress!"

"Isn't the happiest time to be a diplomat just to show off your civilization, strength and wealth in front of aliens?"

"I really thought it would be fun to quarrel with aliens! Of course not, showing off your wealth is the happiest thing!"

Lao Yang opened his hands and said with a smile: "Especially standing in front of the monitoring room and witnessing their rich expressions. Tsk tsk, let me understand the feeling when Li Hongzhang entered New York during the Qing Dynasty and saw the tall buildings of the Americans... . . . the mentality is amazing."

Not only Lao Yang, other old guys were also addicted to this kind of happiness and couldn't extricate themselves, then sighed and shook their heads: "Hey, it's still like this at a lot of age, we are really ordinary people ah!"

"Not bad, absolutely not bad!"

Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "We have been busy writing a new thinking mode of brain operation, this piece is a high-end spiritual enjoyment! Under what circumstances will you feel happy and under what circumstances will you feel sad? In the new In the mindset, these need to be redefined.”

"In the theory of the hierarchy of human needs, there are a total of five needs, physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs. Your current mentality can be regarded as self-realization, the most high-end needs!"

"So the happiness brought by this kind of behavior is high-end and conducive to the progress of civilization. The new thinking modification plan mainly revolves around this...so it is definitely not bad!"

Lao Yang said: "The same thing, if I say it in my mouth, it is pretending to be coercive, but if I say it in the mouth of a scientist, it becomes a high-end spiritual enjoyment. You should be a diplomat with your eloquence. It's so true now. Quite talented!"

Everyone in the monitoring room burst out laughing.

At this time, the Laenino people have already visited some pictures about wars. Although they can't understand the above text, they still understand that there are also wars among interstellar civilizations.

This discovery made them curious and apprehensive. It turned out that the starry sky was not peaceful. What caused the interstellar war?

This question is a bit sensitive, but it has to be asked.

"War? In most cases, cosmic civilizations can coexist peacefully, but some robber civilizations cannot be ruled out..."

"You should be able to understand that between civilizations, what can best explain the logic of their behavior is interest. If it can bring greater benefits, it is not surprising that war breaks out."

The diplomat said: "There are still some powerful civilizations that like to impose their will on others, which can be regarded as a kind of export revolution... When the contradiction between the two sides reaches a certain level, war will result."

"This type of civilization is really very powerful. When we encounter it, we can only escape."

Aoun asked another question that has been lingering in his heart for a long time: "Your alliance is so powerful that it can force us to do anything. Why do you use the method of equivalent exchange? If you use plunder, can't you get benefits? ?”

This question is very complicated and involves many dimensions, which made the young diplomat standing in front stunned for a moment.

Even Zhang Yuan and the others in front of the surveillance were lost in thought.

Why do you want to do this?

Of course it is also because of interests.

After a few seconds, the young man replied: "A civilized culture is rooted in its history."

"During our home planet, there used to be many famous art museums, such as the Louvre, the British Museum, and some museums in the United States. The artworks in them were looted from other countries, but they are elegant and exquisite. The surface cannot hide the fact that the robbers are shameless... No matter how advanced the productivity is and how superior the technology is, the hearts of robbers in these countries have always existed."

"When the country is peaceful and civilization develops, everything is fine, and the internal facts of robbers are covered up; when development stagnates and encounters a crisis, this bandit mentality will gradually be exposed, which in turn creates chaos."

"History has been watching us, and our every move will become a part of history and become a permanent culture. Our civilization has a special discipline called New Civilization Historiography, which will deliberately cultivate some cultural systems that are conducive to the progress of civilization .”

"So, in most cases, when contacting weaker civilizations, we adopt the model of equivalent exchange and will not force buying and selling, because this petty profit is not worth destroying the current cultural system. Plundering will change the current The cultural system is not worth it."
