Chapter 279 Civilization Soft Power
The meeting was over, but the crowd had not completely dispersed, and the two sides were bidding farewell. On the mobile phone, Zhang Yuan raised his head and felt a very subtle emotion through the dazzling starry sky above his head.
In these 44 years, humans have obtained not only a universal factory, but also many other things. In particular, in the process of helping each other, all citizens of the new human civilization developed a very strong sense of civilization pride.
This sense of pride has a great impact on contemporary people and the generations later. It is a national spirit that cannot be exchanged for no matter how advanced the technology or how powerful the productivity is!
If a civilization wants to rise in the starry sky, relying solely on technology, population, and productivity is still far from enough.
There must be a strong spiritual core as support!
This sense of pride and belonging today is a strong spiritual core, a kind of confidence in the values and social system of this article.
For example, if citizens of the new civilization return to the earth and live a very wealthy and frugal life with superior people, they will still feel uncomfortable, feel bad in this way or that, and think that this civilization is not as good as their own civilization.
This is a kind of soft power of the new human civilization.
Even this soft power is likely to have a very profound and positive impact on the future "wandering plan", which is also a very great added value.
Zhang Yuan chatted with Gan Yaduo, the first generation captain of the Glitzer civilization.
"His Excellency Gan Yaduo, the topics just now are just some technical experience, which is equivalent to the external skill of a civilization. Now, from a private perspective, I have a few suggestions, you might as well listen to them."
"Please say it."
Their personal relationship was quite good. Gan Yaduo raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuan with two black eyes.
Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "First point, your civilization and the ideology of the people tend to be lazy, which is partly caused by working and rest habits. But there is another more important point, economic distribution issues..."
"Maybe it is because the productivity of universal factories is too high, so everyone can enjoy good days without working. Unintentionally, all the population has become lazy."
"In your Goer City, those who are capable and those who are not capable enjoy the same treatment. The whole society has heavy taxes and high welfare. This is called equality for everyone, right?"
"It's true... our welfare benefits are quite high." Gan Yaduo said with a little confusion.
A high welfare society can almost be said to be the most proud point in Goertek, and it has attracted a large number of talents from other cities for this reason. Other cities are dictatorial systems, with different levels of people, and inferior people cannot have high social welfare.
"Yes, this is the problem...but the so-called high welfare society must not be applicable on a different planet. At least it is not applicable at the beginning."
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "When we were on the spaceship, we would eat big pot meals together. Because of the greater survival pressure and the conditions were a little harder, the people would not complain too much."
"But when we arrive on a planet, we solve the initial survival problem. When productivity is not enough to meet the needs of the people, it is impossible to maintain a high welfare society. There must be a distinction between different levels."
"If the resources obtained by those who are capable are exactly the same as those of the public, it is another unfair. If you still eat a big pot of rice, then where will the enthusiasm for work come from?"
"I even suggest that you implement a centralized system with more centralized power, even if you are dictatorial, it is okay. On a different planet, action is more important..."
"The development of alien planets has been rushing against time, and decades have passed in a flash. Even if the wrong policies are issued, it is better than not promulgating policies!"
Gan Yaduo was stunned for a while, this is indeed a truth.
Food from the parent planet can be obtained almost everywhere, and everyone’s life is guaranteed. But when you arrive at a bare alien planet, where can you get the guarantee?
There is not enough industrialization, and when the equipment ages, there is only one word left to die!
In the new situation where even survival is difficult to guarantee, everyone must work harder and be more united.
They will live hard life in the future, not as rich as they are now...
"Or you can also learn from our contribution system and create a big data system that everyone believes in. There should be a lot of communication in this regard... Because the social development of our two civilizations is very different, this system cannot be copied, but I believe that your civilized mathematician should be able to do these tasks and find out his own system."
Gan Yaduo sighed: "You are right. A convincing economic policies and distribution system is indeed very, very important. In this early stage of civilization, the high welfare of the past can no longer be realized."
"Only by changing the starting point can we truly correct the ideology of the entire civilization. In fact, after getting along over the years, our engineers have become much more diligent, and they all amazed the diligence of human beings."
Zhang Yuan smiled and stretched out his second finger: "As for the second point, we must develop our own technology tree. Only with our own technology can we have a real foundation in this dim starry sky!"
"Your civilization, because of the universal factory, is too easy to develop technology, so that there are too few things that belong to you, and the foundation is not solid."
"Many things pursue efficiency but don't understand them very much..."
"To give a simple example, a part on a machine tool has a small circular gap. Human scientists will keep studying why there is this circular gap? Is it a design error? What if there is no such gap? Can it be changed to an ellipse or a square?"
"And your civilized scientists, after studying for a while, found that reverse engineering was too difficult, so they directly copied it up exactly the same. Because they subconsciously believed that the technology in the universal factory was supreme and impossible to exist incorrectly."
"This long-term thinking pattern is difficult to change in a short time. But for a civilization, superstitious belief in authority is definitely not good."
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything. During the long-term exchange between the two sides, there were often human engineers who responded that the creative ability and learning of these Glitzers were actually pretty good.
But when it comes to products in the universal factory, these guys will become quite paranoid, and feel like crazy believers have seen God... Yes, the Wannian Factory is God for them.
This is some deviation in thinking.
Gan Yaduo sighed, his honest words were unpleasant, and his good medicine was bitter. If it weren't for the good enough personal relationship, Zhang Yuan wouldn't have said these things at the last moment.
Interstellar colonization must consider these things, otherwise the Glitzer civilization will only become extinct on another planet.
"Yes, this is also the reason why we are determined to abandon the universal factory... Its poisons our creative ability, too deep!"
"We will re-plan our development route during the long six hundred years of voyage. Hope... everything goes well."
"So goodbye to my friend, it's a good time!"
After watching Zhang Yuan leave, the leader bowed deeply, then turned around and returned to his spaceship...
A true politician burns himself to illuminate others, while an ordinary politician burns others to illuminate themselves. However, ordinary politicians are the vast majority. There are too many difficulties in the future, and they can't help but feel a little confused in their hearts...
But soon, it regained its vitality. No matter what, an interstellar expedition could change a lot. The Glitzer civilization will definitely not become extinct on a different planet, sure!
