Voyage of the Stars

It is not that memes are bad, because cultural phenomena are actually memes.

Definition is very important.

Dawkins said that humans are the only species that can resist genetic tyranny, because humans have thoughts and can think, and the weapon that humans use to resist genetic tyranny is called memes.

Of course, from the perspective of modern humans, that is wisdom, or the source of wisdom. If we dig deep into the matter, it will become the ultimate question of why life produces wisdom.

This is not something that should be considered in the current situation. Humans only need to understand that the other party's conscious communication method is very dangerous.

So the question now becomes, how to convey information to the other party!

If you want to understand what the other party is and what their purpose is, communication is necessary, but how to communicate? The Star Alliance does not have the ability to communicate with spiritual consciousness.

As the saying goes, someone will send a pillow when you are sleepy. Just when humans were frowning, the detection team inside the star system sent information again.

It is not a language in a clear sense, but a message that allows individual life to understand directly in the consciousness like before. According to the individual life of the Red Flame Civilization, the meaning of the first part is probably a greeting and welcome, and the latter part tells them how to respond to the information.

There are many Chiyan civilization life forms in the exploration team. In order to avoid mistakes, when they convey the meaning of the information they hear in their consciousness, they do not just send the meaning of a Chiyan person, but the information felt by many Chiyan people. They are the same before sending it back to Tianqin.

The response method given by the other party is very simple, that is, to read the response silently in the heart or in the consciousness.

This is simple, and every intelligent life can do it.

So under the instruction of Tianqin, the members of the Chiyan civilization probe team located above the planetary orbit immediately responded.

"Hello, unknown civilization, we are a civilization affiliated with the Star Alliance. May I ask where you are and what kind of existence you are?"

Such a clear response did not lead to immediate communication, but a kind of confusion after a happy emotion.

According to the meaning conveyed back, it seems that he first expressed that he was very happy, and then seemed to say: I don’t understand what you are saying, I know you responded, but I don’t understand the meaning of the response, and you are too noisy and your voice is too soft, please speak louder.

Well, I can convey the meaning, but I can’t read the information responded by others. It turns out that communication is not that easy.

After this information was transmitted to the Tianqin, after a group of experts and scholars analyzed it, they immediately got a reliable countermeasure.

After the interpretation of experts and scholars, humans believed that the reason why the other party said that they could not understand it might be that they did not understand the language of the Red Flame civilization. According to the characteristics that the other party can directly perceive, the solution is also simple, that is, let the Red Flame people in the communication area express various emotions and subconsciously recite the language again and again, and it is best to repeat the meaning of the other party that they heard more.

According to the ability of the other party, it should be able to understand it soon.

As for the voice being too small, it must be that there are too few people from the Red Flame civilization there, and a group of Red Flame people can be added. The meaning of too noisy is probably that there are so many Red Flame people, and the responses are not unified, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts and so on. The improvement method is also easy, just let the Red Flame people respond in unison.

Sure enough, after such an operation, the Red Flame people repeated their previous response again, and this time the other party finally understood it.

So the human side quickly received the other party's response message, which probably meant: Where am I? Am I not next to you? You came to find me by yourself, but asked me where I am. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

Upon receiving this message, the humans on the Tianqin all turned their eyes to the life planet on the holographic screen, and at the same time, an idea popped up in their minds: planet, life planet! A conscious life planet is talking to itself!

The second thought of humans was: Gaia life, Gaia consciousness!

The universe is so magical that humans actually encountered a Gaia life.

Humans once got information about Gaia life from the Perseus Trade Federation, and the Perseus Trade Federation told them for free, so humans now have a certain understanding of Gaia life, but have never encountered it.

It is said that the combat power of Gaia life is not actually strong. On the contrary, they are very weak, because their body is a life planet. Strong is relative to primitive civilization. Gaia life is indeed very strong, but that is only primitive civilization.

When civilization develops to the first level of civilization, Gaia life will not pose any threat to technological civilization, because they can neither move their own body nor threaten the starry sky. And it is actually very easy for technological civilization to destroy it. It only needs to destroy the ecology of a planet, because in a sense, Gaia life is actually the biosphere consciousness of the planet.

That’s why the animated picture civilization told humans that Gaia life is nothing but dead bones in a grave. They can only manage their own small piece of land for a lifetime. If the planet is destroyed, they will die. They are not a threat, but they are of great research value. Unfortunately, it seems that only the fifth-level civilization can study them.

Gaia life is very important to the fifth-level civilization, so much so that many fifth-level civilizations are looking for Gaia life everywhere. The Perseus Trade Federation has done business with Gaia life, not doing business with Gaia life, but treating Gaia life as a commodity.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan and the rest of the people on the Tianqin fell silent. Gaia life, what a noble life form, but it was treated as a commodity by advanced civilizations. In the eyes of the fifth-level civilization, it was just a commodity. How sad!

For a moment, everyone's eyes looking at the life planet in the holographic projection changed a little, less vigilance and hostility, more sighs and sighs.

However, what humans and dynamic image civilizations don't know is that Gaia life is weak just because they don't know enough, because there was once a powerful Gaia consciousness in the Milky Way that was invited by the Silver Heart Alliance to fight against the electronic warships of the Reapers, but in that battle, I don't know why it never appeared from beginning to end.

[Strange civilization, oh Star Alliance, hello, I don't know how many years it has been, and finally someone who can communicate has come here. It's been too long, too long, I don't know how much time it has been, I'm really happy to meet you, ah, sorry, countless years of loneliness without communication, I can't help it, I can't help it]

Just as humans changed their eyes to look at the life planet, the outpost exploration team conveyed another message. Humans did not think much of this information, but only regarded it as the emotional expression of this Gaia life being lonely for too long.

It seems quite normal, if the other party is really a Gaia life.

However, the possibility that it is a person existing on this planet cannot be ruled out, so humans immediately instructed the Red Flame people at the outpost to ask: "Are you a Gaia life?"

Just asking questions cannot guarantee right or wrong, so after asking this question, humans immediately sent a spacecraft carrying Gaia consciousness detection equipment into the star system. This equipment will help humans determine whether the other party is really a Gaia life.

The Gaia consciousness detection equipment was naturally not made by humans, but was bought from the dynamic picture civilization. At that time, it was just bought under the name of upgrading the Star Alliance related equipment. It was called buying a set of samples to let the Star Alliance evaluate it first. Unexpectedly, it was actually used one day.

Fortunately, this kind of equipment is like a metal detector in the fifth-level civilization, and it is not valuable. Humans only paid two ships of biosphere resources to buy it.

Warp speed travel is fast. Before the other party responded, the spacecraft arrived at the orbit of the life planet. Then, according to the order of humans, it began to release equipment to detect Gaia consciousness on this planet.

Originally, this kind of equipment for detecting Gaia consciousness needed to land on the planet, and then insert mutually inductive columnar probes in various places on the planet according to the spherical coordinates. However, this set of equipment has been improved on this basis, and those columnar probes can be arranged in the orbit of the planet. However, the accuracy of detection in the orbit of the planet will be greatly reduced. Generally, when searching for Gaia consciousness, the fifth-level civilization will still insert them on the planet.
