Chapter 233 The Ascetic Lifestyle (Two in One)

Next, with the continuous announcement of news reports, the cooperation between the two parties set off a big wave in the human society!

[At 6 o'clock this morning, a reporter from the Deep Space News learned from the front line of the war that the ghost body disaster caused a total of more than 2 billion casualties, and the post-disaster rescue work is continuing...]

[The high level of human civilization has reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the Blue Golden Age Alliance, and related rescue operations have been launched one after another...]

[The first batch of aid resources arrived at the opponent's small universe through a large shuttle...]

[About the interstellar war video...]

Whether it is the scale of the ghost body disaster or the strength of the Blue Gold Age Alliance, it has deeply shocked all mankind.

The other party had 2.1 billion people died, yet there was still a population of nearly 1 billion!

The Kunlun Mountain Refuge, which humans are proud of, is nothing compared to the opponent's Central Refuge.

The size gap is a bit exaggerated.

This has also led to the complete disappearance of the little pride of stepping into the third-level civilization in the minds of many people because of the completion of the construction of the universal factory.

A very real question began to be discussed on the Internet: What should we do if ghost bodies invade Kunlun Mountains and Universal Factory on a large scale?

Consider human software and hardware, weapons systems and manning.

The answer is... no way. (Most people don't know jelly exists.)

Is it possible to abandon the robot revolution, abandon the universal factory, and degenerate to the era of the first industrial revolution?

Obviously impossible.

Human beings... can't resist this kind of disaster!

Another problem is the population. The population of human civilization is too small, and it is only a little over 50 million now.

Even at the third level of civilization, population does not represent productivity, but the level of intelligence represents productivity.

But the larger the population, the more outstanding geniuses, this is an undeniable mathematical law!

However, how to solve the population problem? Throughout history, human beings have never solved this problem. No matter how much fertility is encouraged, the fertility rate is declining year by year... Human civilization is not strong enough, and that is the responsibility of everyone, not just the government!

Therefore, the more people know about the Blue-Gold Era Alliance, the more people have a very strange feeling...

This kind of mood is not sympathy, nor jealousy, but that human beings should do better and take bigger steps...

Otherwise, it is likely to be stuck at the level of the third-level civilization forever, until an unimaginable catastrophe occurs and all human beings become extinct.

Under the huge external pressure, the foundation of social public raising was quietly born. Socialized public raising is a way that can produce a large number of people in a short period of time, and it is also the only way that can be reluctantly accepted...

...

Half a month later, Natasha, as the first batch of reporters, followed more than 300 experts from all walks of life to the small universe of the Blue Gold Age Alliance.

Her most important task this time is to understand the basic structure of socialized public raising.

An octopus diplomat warmly received them: Friends, hello! Welcome to our central refuge...

Unfortunately, we are in the process of rebuilding after the disaster, and there is no way to bring VIP-level treatment.

“No no no, it is our honor to visit your culture.”

At the first sight of entering the refuge, people saw the light green sky, white clouds, sandy beach and sea.

The gravity environment is slightly higher than the gravity of the earth, about 1.2 times, and there is a feeling of viscera falling.

But this scene still made the visiting group feel a lot of envy. With such a beautiful sanctuary, what mother star are you looking for?

The diplomats of the Blue Gold Age Alliance introduced their own civilizations. The leading octopus said: It has been 3000 years since the integration of our three races.

We have adapted to each other's microbial environment and formed a stable symbiotic society. In the foreseeable future, we should continue to symbiosis.

The octopus man added: Our poisonous pattern civilization is a recognized divine creation civilization. Our ideology tends to be conservative, and we are mainly engaged in industries such as medical care, teachers, engineering, and biological sciences.

He said to another lizard: The ideology of the Lizard Claw civilization itself is relatively common. Their social and cultural system and genetic philosophy form are very easy to fall into the utopian trap, so they are willing to change themselves to integrate into our alliance. , to achieve long-term development.”

The lizard opened its mouth and laughed loudly, looking a bit simple and honest. With so much energy along the way, let them understand that they are indeed a very ordinary second-level civilization. If a cosmic disaster hadn't erupted, they would have lived in their own planet, addicted to material comforts, and would never have stepped into the starry sky... …

Natasha's professional instinct came up, and she asked quickly: Have you started to study the content of genetic philosophy?

It's just preliminary research. Genes determine a lot. Although the most important content of genetic philosophy is reproduction, and even survival is just better reproduction, but the details are still somewhat different. Some species are lazy, and some species are hardworking. Some species have a higher desire to explore, and the cultures of civilizations are very different because of the differences in the underlying details.

This octopus man talked eloquently, Our poisonous pattern civilization is a very hardworking civilization. Our Creator created us and defined us as extremely hardworking. Hard work can bring us happiness. But the price is ours. The desire to reproduce is relatively low, so artificial incubation must be used to increase the birth rate.

In addition, the etiquette system and ascetic culture of Yayan civilization are the main social trends at present, and indulging in material enjoyment is considered immoral behavior.

The leader's brief introduction to the internal division of labor is simply fascinating. Three ethnic groups with different ideologies are mixed together, and there must be compromises at the cultural level. The weakest civilization compromises the most, which is also emotional.

After a while, human reporters asked various questions.

What is a divinely created civilization?

What is the utopia trap?

Wouldn't there be any running-in problems for the coexistence of the three civilizations?

There are so many interesting questions!

The octopus answered the question: In short, we are creatures created by a higher civilization.

Our formation time is very short. In just a few years, a native species has generated wisdom, and the genetic material has undergone fundamental changes.

We can't find our own ancestors on the planet, which is equivalent to appearing for no reason. In addition, the remains of advanced spaceships have been found on our planet...

This octopus man has no embarrassment, and accepts the fact that he is created.

It's not a big deal, even silicon-based species may have been created.

When technology has reached a certain level, creating carbon-based materials is not as difficult as reaching the sky.

Why did this happen? Why...why did they create you? Natasha squeezed to the front, Where did they go?

The octopus man waved his eight arms, and said with emotion: Maybe it's for research, maybe it's for war, maybe it's just to prove that they can, or maybe it's other reasons. In short, we thank them for creating We, at least for this moment, we are free.

They didn't ask us too much, and they also presented the wreckage of a discovery spacecraft. Otherwise, as a species of ocean planet, we may never be able to develop science.

The only requirement is to let us understand our own form of existence in order to better break through ourselves and gain greater freedom.

What is greater freedom?

Maybe it is not restricted by the thoughts at the genetic level. As we all know, all the thoughts of carbon-based life are restricted by genes. Why do we feel happy, angry, sad, and happy? The answer is already written. This may be a manifestation of unfreedom. We think so.

Octopus people are really very talkative species. They are very patient and almost know everything. Their endurance is also extremely amazing. The brain sleep time is very little, about 10 hours every 231 hours.

This is also where the superiority of this race lies. The divinely created civilization has bypassed a lot of shortcomings in the evolution process, and their physique is also extremely powerful.

...As for the Utopia trap, it is a common problem faced by civilizations of the second, third, and fourth levels.

This trap is divided into two types. The first type is the era of great prosperity of the second-level civilization, which will cause the civilization to be lazy and no longer have development potential. This category is very common.

The second is that virtual reality technology has developed to a peak level, and the hosts are connected to each other to create a virtual world, that is, a virtual thinking society, so that each individual 'lives' in it. They can decide this All the laws and material forms of the virtual society completely get rid of the absoluteness of time to complete the virtual eternal life.”

eternal life?

Yes, we have encountered a utopian civilization whose level is unknown and has achieved immortality at the racial level.

They no longer have 'individuals'. All individuals are in the virtual world, and their main body is a planetary computer.

And the lizard claw civilization, before meeting us, may also fall into the utopian trap. Their civilization lost its motivation to move forward when it was too rich, so it was divided into two parts, and one part joined us to experience The ascetic culture; the other part is still wandering alone and doesn't know what's going on with their lives.

That's it... Natasha was surprised, and recorded the information in a small notebook, Is such a civilization a bad thing?

And those lizard people around opened their mouths, they no longer think about the original civilization...

Perhaps the current ascetic lifestyle is not bad, just get used to it.

Leader Kachakin took over the conversation and further explained this question: We don't know whether this direction is good or bad, and we can't evaluate it. Perhaps, good and bad are just one step away, and there is no clear dividing line.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to put an individual's thinking into a computer. Because this approach can produce a higher level of intelligence, and it may even be the next step in the evolution of civilization. The pursuit of individual freedom is also common to most civilizations. wish.

Humans can't evaluate this kind of civilization either.

Because human beings dare not even enter the era of great prosperity... Now the government is still worrying about the reemployment of the unemployed, and most of the population cannot keep up with the problems of the times.

Thinking of this, Natasha sighed.

As a reporter, the best way is to deliver the news report as truthfully as possible to the audience in the most objective way.

Personal subjective factors are not important.

Next, the press corps fully visited the talent training method of this alliance. They adopted the social public support system.

The children of the three races are raised by the same robot mother, with a total of 4 people in each family system. Generally speaking, there will be one more Yayan people.

Due to the complementarity of racial and personality levels, coupled with good educational methods, they can often get along well, and a small team of 4 is equivalent to the existence of relatives.

The government has been nurturing infants and toddlers until they graduate from college, and then leaving individuals to pursue total freedom.

Without the institution of marriage, marriage is completely unnecessary in this day and age.

The economic system is very affluent, and the government sends money directly!

Calculated according to the human economy, it is equivalent to the government giving an individual about 900,000 yuan a month to allow you to pursue all-round personal development.

Whatever industry you want to engage in, you can engage in any industry, and start a business if you want to start a business.

If you don't want to work, let the government support you for the rest of your life.

If you are judged as a high-level talent at the level of civilization, you will spend hundreds of millions of dollars every month!

This kind of talent is generally impossible to indulge in material enjoyment, and they often need more resources to realize their dreams.

Of course, because this alliance advocates ascetic culture, money is just an inexhaustible number for most individuals, which is equivalent to redundant productivity.

Coupled with the fact that the small team of 4 is equivalent to permanent relatives, there are still some bonds, and the fallen individuals are miraculously not too many.

What should we do if there is a large-scale degeneration? Natasha asked again, It is difficult to reject the colorful world based on personal self-control.

How can we cultivate excellent talents?

Culture is very important. Material consumption is a shameful behavior for us. We only consume what is necessary. In order to continue this culture for a long time, the number of Yayan people is more, and the number of the other two races is smaller... You should be able to understand that Yayan people eat grass, and their favorite entertainment is meditation and adventure, and they can naturally resist the lazy thoughts brought about by material abundance.

As long as the proportion of Yayan people is relatively large, it can affect our poison pattern civilization and let our natural diligence play a role, and there will not be too many lazy individuals.

Of course there will still be some lazy ones who don't want to make progress, so we will isolate these individuals from the main civilization and use them as negative teaching materials to let them spend their lives in mediocrity.

This whole set of social system simply made the human culture investigation team not know how to ask questions.

It was so shocking!

It was really shocking!

If in the Kunlun Mountains, 900,000 yuan is paid every month, Natasha can't imagine what human society will become... It must be that everyone is lazy, playing games and bragging sounds wonderful, but once a disaster occurs , human beings will die violently in minutes!

This approach seems to be very good...

If the education is successful, it can fully mobilize the individual's subjective initiative and work with interest, which is actually very powerful.

But if the education is not successful, it will only raise the lazy with high welfare. A sociologist commented.

Well, many excellent jobs are indeed created out of interest.

We humans... don't seem to have such a genetic philosophy. We are not born to eat grass like the Yayan people.

Animals that eat grass are not born to worry about food, so their genetic philosophy tends to pursue spirituality; human beings are actually quite picky, and they are born to worry about food, so they pursue material things at the genetic level.

When people think about it carefully, they still don't dare to do this. If 10% of the people fall, what will the others think? The entire human society may collapse.

Can human beings really compare to such a civilization?

Can't compare.

After a long time, someone asked: Individuals in your alliance can do whatever they want, how should some super projects be completed? Where does the cohesion of civilization come from? If there is no pressure, no elimination mechanism, really Will it promote the development of technology?

In the era of comprehensive pursuit of freedom, a project that requires millions of people to complete, how to find like-minded millions of people.

The octopus man in charge of the answer laughed and said: In fact, the cohesion of the government still exists. Most of the individual intelligence is mediocre, they can only do some ordinary jobs, and have no spiritual pursuit. So for Government work has become a high honor and our culture is guided that way.

Working for the government is equivalent to working for the entire civilization. As long as it becomes an honor, it will form a cohesive force.

As for most people, they can't actually spend the monthly payment, so it becomes a number, and the accumulation remains there.

As for your question, it is also our worry in the future. Even if our current ascetic culture can limit lazy thinking to a certain extent, nothing can be done once and for all... There is no elimination system, which is a great hidden danger. It can only be used as a negative lesson , but there are also some people who will envy those negative teaching materials, leading to a continuous increase in the number of negative teaching materials.”

The way we can think of is internal competition and external pressure. At present, the external pressure is very strong...

Hearing that the other party still hadn't completely solved the problem, for some reason, the human investigation team breathed a sigh of relief.

The elimination mechanism in the era of great wealth is really a cosmic problem.

Yeah, internal competition and external pressure... that's the only way.

The existence of silicon-based enemies is not necessarily a bad thing.

During the following visits, people gradually discovered that the racial value of the Blue Golden Age Alliance was higher than that of humans to a certain extent.

The lizardmen of the affiliated civilization are almost as expected. They are immersed in the grief of the death of their relatives and friends, their morale is low, and their recovery speed is not fast. Their IQ is also mediocre, and the number of negative teaching materials is the largest.

This is also understandable, how many races can recover as quickly as a normal person?

The performance of the octopus race, a god-created race, exceeded expectations. They quickly recovered from their injuries and worked hard to build their homeland.

The post-war performance of the third-level civilized Yayan people also exceeded the expectations of the human delegation. Whether it was spiritual temperament, folk morale, or post-war production recovery links, they all greatly exceeded human expectations.

This strange race that advocates the ascetic culture has shown extremely high resilience.

As a result, a more grand topic was derived: Does the racial value determine everything? Whether the fate of the race has already been written by the genes.

If human beings encounter such a disaster, can they do what the Yayan people did?

The answer may be no. It is already good for human beings to reach the level of lizardmen.

Does any third-level civilization have its own natural advantages? The ability to resist disasters may be a common symbol of third-level civilizations.

At present, there are two third-level civilizations that humans have come into contact with. The first is the Green Star people, and the second is the Yayan people.

The innate genetic memory ability of the green star people has brought about a reasonable division of labor innately, and the race value is many times higher than that of humans...

Their brain circuits are also different, and people still think that the green star people are a magical species.

In the mothership of the Green Stars, there used to be a population of 100 million. During the process of passing through the wormhole, due to the change of the small universe, the population dropped sharply to 6,000.

But the green star people with only 6,000 people still have the courage to fight against humans and want to snatch the human mothership!

This inexplicable brain circuit is actually beyond human imagination.

If human beings encountered such a super disaster, they might have had a mental breakdown long ago. But the green star people actually want to rise again? !

It can even be said to be a unique kind of courage!

The Yayan people are herbivores, and the ascetic culture derived from this is a system rooted in their genetic core, which is caused by the nature of advocating spirituality and morality.

Human beings cannot learn the ascetic culture by force, at most they can only learn some etiquette systems.

Because in the ancient times of the great eastern countries, some sages also put forward the idea of ​​restraining oneself and returning to the rituals, restraining one's selfish desires, making words and deeds conform to etiquette, and doing what one should do, the world will be more perfect.

Of course, due to the underdeveloped productive forces in ancient times, even survival could not be guaranteed, so this whole system naturally failed.

But judging from the current perspective, it seems to be feasible to a certain extent... But can this system really be maintained spontaneously and for a long time? Many experts view this matter with a negative attitude.
