I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

Zhou Donglai spent three months thinking about "how to do it."

But this matter is completely different from the military level, and even from regular government management work.

Zhou Donglai failed to think of a clear direction on this matter.

Fortunately, during these months, the fleet's art and crafts staff, who are scattered all over the sky, have also been idle.

Nearly 100,000 professional and non-professional social science students with different expertise in political philosophy, historical analysis, psychology, sociology, economics, technological economics, civilization, space-time topology and other fields are scattered in different teams. After intensive discussions and almost life-and-death debates, the genius scholars came up with a plan that was both extremely groundbreaking and yet very back to nature - formulating a convention to use the agreement between the individual and the entire civilization. to replace the function of a great leader.

This ideal convention can not only bind the organization in large areas, but also be specific to individuals in small areas.

The Convention not only has a binding effect similar to law, but also is a set of voluntary codes of conduct applicable to everyone.

The origin of the Convention is not only based on the life philosophy of the sage Chen Feng, but also traces back and extends backward to the many "conventions", "covenants" and "agreements" that have played an important role in the history of human civilization throughout the ages. ", "Famous Quotes", "Philosophical Speculations" and "Famous Quotes" were comprehensively analyzed, and then based on the new situation faced by mankind in the early 1900s as the basic plan and background of the times, we found a way to understand the complex situation in the current era. The changing human heart can be universally accepted.

The convention will inherit the function of leaders to a certain extent. It is not only a guideline for binding people's behavior, but also a reminder to everyone why human beings exist and what role individuals should play in civilization.

This principle will form a solid dialectical thinking model in people's minds to guide everyone to always make decisions that are beneficial to the collective when facing major life decisions.

If such a miraculous convention can be completed, the crisis that Zhou Donglai and other knowledgeable people are worried about will be easily solved.

But the convention itself is not a reasonable thing.

Assuming that humans have not been threatened by aliens, nor have they received scientific and technological assistance from alien civilizations, and no one can repeatedly bring scientific knowledge back to modern times from the future, in the normal process of civilization, let humans use basic logic to Relying solely on one's own abilities to promote the development of science, technology and productivity, step by step we will step out of the earth and set foot on extraterrestrials.

In this process, the construction and development time of each colony and human galaxy, and the time required for the incubation and formation of various key technologies will inevitably be lengthened by at least ten times or even dozens of times.

So, for humans to become a star system-level civilization, starting from the year 2000, it will theoretically take at least 10,000 years.

To develop to the current scale of the Morrowind Empire, it would probably take a period of 20,000 years.

If it takes longer, the population base from birth to death will also increase proportionally.

It will take more people to increase the size of the empire.

In the process of development, people on earth may need to experience large-scale civil wars at the galaxy level again and again, and are constantly divided and reunified. Some galaxies may be strong for a short time, then make some contributions, and then be eliminated.

Humanity will experience more internal alternating evolutions of war and peace, and there will be struggles between systems, struggles between ideas, and more confrontations at all levels.

The normal path of civilization's advancement cannot be the illogical rapid jumps in today's history, but a more tortuous spiral that takes longer and involves more participants.

The relationship between small groups under the large group that both competes with each other and cooperates with each other at some level, the alternating evolution of war and peace, development and regression, will make human beings gradually think more deeply about the universe and themselves, and will give human civilization this The whole brings about a more complex and comprehensive thought evolution process.

In this process, the development of human spiritual civilization and material civilization will compete with each other, forming a relationship that competes with each other and complements each other, forming the two legs of civilization, and the error correction ability of the huge civilization itself will Harmony is provided in these two legs.

To give the simplest example, during several Renaissances, literary renaissances, and literary explosions, the wealth of human beings at the level of spiritual civilization first moved slightly ahead of material civilization. A longer-term perspective and valuable positive literary and artistic resources brought brought more widely disseminated knowledge, and gave birth to more scientific talents with forward-looking vision and ability, which in turn led to the rapid advancement of material civilization, thus forming the first, second, third...Nth industrial revolution and technological revolution.

However, when the Industrial Revolution and the Scientific and Technological Revolution broke out, the rapidly expanding needs of material civilization put forward obviously inclined employment needs for the human group, and the overall social atmosphere focused more on pragmatism. Under the guidance of this social environment, More people will be inclined to engage in work related to material civilization when making decisions about life choices.

Therefore, in this stage, the development speed of spiritual civilization is in turn suppressed by the rapid development of material civilization.

Until one day, the collective consciousness of civilization will naturally realize that too backward spiritual civilization has in turn hindered material civilization, caused some turmoil, caused some large or small wars, and caused material civilization to stagnate or It's a temporary setback.

It is very likely that some areas will fall behind, and small-scale wars will break out within the galaxy, or even large-scale wars may break out between different star fields, and many people will definitely die.

But that’s not a big problem, because as long as there are no external enemies, once human beings leave the solar system, they will never be completely destroyed. The civilization as a whole will naturally eliminate the backward parts like tumors, and the remaining ones will definitely become the essence. And bring about a new round of rapid progress.

In turbulent times, spiritual civilization will surely catch up quickly until it closes the gap or causes fundamental changes in the social system.

Then civilization will enter the next period of rapid growth of material civilization and leave behind spiritual civilization again.

This cycle starts over and over again.

Theoretically, a perfect balance between matter and spirit can never be achieved.

So, in the normal history of the development of human civilization, it will take humans 10,000 to 20,000 years to complete the process of expansion of productivity to the present explosion, and go through ideological changes of this kind again and again, and repeated ideological conflicts, and continue to evolve. With the help of absorbed experiences and lessons, human society can naturally obtain a reasonable spiritual civilization suitable for contemporary needs.

But the current situation is that it only took people on earth nine hundred years to complete the process of material civilization that would normally take ten to twenty thousand years, or even more than ten thousand years.

People on earth are rushing all the way along the great road of technological explosion created by Chen Feng, and they have no time to stop and look back, and think about themselves and the universe from a philosophical perspective.

The civilization of the earth is like an over-developed child who is lame in one leg. His physical fitness has improved, but his outlook on life has fallen behind.

The lame child still had to hold a sword in his hand and fight with the grinning wolf in front of him with a bayonet. Behind the wolf, there was a terrifying shadow whose true form was not clear and whose strength was unknown. .

The child is six thousand years old this year. In his six thousand years of life, he has never faced such a strange and harsh living environment. His past survival experience and survival philosophy are no longer applicable.

Under the threat of such a bad internal and external environment, after the death of the most active, profound and comprehensive brain area in children's brains (the cheating sage Chen Feng), they still have no time to think about such things as "Who am I?" ", "What am I doing", "Who do I want to be in the future" and other questions that are both metaphysical and of humanistic value.

Due to his incomplete knowledge and spiritual civilization, in the process of dealing with the enemy, it was difficult for him to even think about the question "What should I do to defeat the enemy in front of me?", let alone consider dealing with the shadow behind the enemy. If you can leave everything to instinct, problems like those seen by Zhou Donglai will inevitably arise.

The small-scale civil strife that occurred in the unknown fleet could still be suppressed by the invincible Tong Ling.

But if the scale of this civil strife were enlarged to the entire empire, it would be impossible for a hundred more Tong Lings to control the situation.

Things can get completely out of control.

But mankind is facing a formidable enemy. Behind the formidable enemy, the Compound Eyes, there is a mastermind behind the scenes who has been proven to exist, but whose capabilities are still unclear. Human civilization absolutely cannot withstand the torment, and its progress cannot be stopped. .

Earth's civilization seems to have a sure chance of victory, but in fact it is still in great danger.

Then at this time, the significance of the convention becomes apparent.

Think of the convention as the 24th pair of chromosomes in a child's body cells in addition to the basic 23 pairs.

The extra chromosomes will give each cell (and each person) some new properties.

The essence of this new characteristic is thought.

Assuming that the depth of information carrying these characteristics is consistent with the original 23 pairs of chromosomes, it can provide some instinct-like behavioral norms for all cells of a confused child to correct the direction of cell division and growth as much as possible. , so that each cell can become more useful, stronger, and more in line with the overall needs of the child's body, instead of becoming cancerous.

Zhou Donglai approved the proposal of his colleagues in the fleet, organized it into shape, and sent it to the empire headquarters with his own title, which quickly gained widespread recognition.

The preparation of the "Convention on a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" has since been put on the agenda.

After the direction is determined, the rest is achieved through practice.

In just two months, tens of billions of scholars proposed hundreds of millions of solutions from different scientific and technological fields and perspectives.

After a series of research and simulation experiments lasting half a year, the final plan is as follows.

By absorbing the research on the human body and genetic information from the sage Chen Feng’s core projects such as frozen embryo synthesis, original gene synthesis, cryonics technology, and the Nuwa Project, a complete set of in-depth genetic improvement technologies with real-level accuracy has been designed.

Through this genetic improvement technology, a basic pattern involving each pair of chromosomes and each pair of base pairs can be carved with practical accuracy on the double-stranded structure of DNA in human cells.

This new basic law will give the human brain new activity. The quantum thought storm of the human brain will resonate strongly with the external environment. Like Chen Feng, who was the first to break through 50% of the gene arousal level, he will be able to listen to the "universe" wisdom".

Afterwards, people who accept the reform can carve into the bottom of their minds a rule of life that cannot be violated, resisted, or forgotten, which is the covenant of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The content of the convention combines "Song of the World", "Never Walk Alone", "Morning Wind", "Song of Righteousness", countless classic symphonies, as well as the national anthems and international songs of all human countries from ancient times to the present, and countless classic literature and art It is a "symbol" compiled by many artists, philosophers, thinkers, writers, scientists and others in the current era. .

The creative concept of this "symbol" comes from the ultra-complex stacked memory symbols created by the sage Chen Feng when he was storing memories. The amount of information carried is not inferior to the mark that Chen Feng created to contain the memories of his ninth life.

It is not only a song, but also a poem, a lingering speech, and a long and long picture full of vicissitudes of life.

It will use all the cultural essence left in the six thousand years of human civilization.

In the past concepts, there have always been two completely different and conflicting ideas.

Some people believe that civilization has inertia and the ability to self-correct. When society grows to a certain extent and technological productivity expands to a certain extent, the value of any individual to the collective will become dispensable, and no one will be indispensable.

Others believe that civilization needs the guidance of leaders and heroes.

At this stage, most people such as Zhou Donglai and Tang Xia'ao hold the second concept.

But the clever thing is that these two concepts corroborate each other in the "symbols" of the convention.

The Convention completely integrates these two conflicting concepts.

As for right or wrong, there is only one basis for judgment: "Whether human civilization will still exist one million years from now."

2929.

In March, the genetic information improvement technology named "Ultimate Genetic Modification" was successfully developed.

At the end of December, in the squadrons of the Unnamed Fleet and in human settlements in countless galaxies, transformation equipment of astronomical levels was fully popularized. Everything was ready, and all it needed was the east wind.

In August 2930, after ten years of hard work and the sacrifice of more than 20 billion related scholars, the civilization of the earth finally completed the "Convention of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind", referred to as the "Convention of Destiny", which is infinitely large when printed. An infinitely small pyramid-shaped three-dimensional symbol.
