Chapter 471 The follow-up development path
After modifying the gene driving force, survival is no longer the first priority. Some other things, such as faith or a certain desire, have become the first priority of life, which avoids the possibility of sinking.
But this creates another problem... Nothing is perfect, and there are contradictions between level five civilizations.
"When there is a conflict between different civilizations, these conflicting civilizations may break out the most dangerous war."
"Our first priority is survival, which will lead to various complex interest relationships, and they do not mind giving their lives for their beliefs."
"So fundamentally, the two have a large degree of different ways of thinking. Can you understand if I explain this?"
Of course humans can understand these things. There are not many contradictions between civilizations below level 4, including level 4 civilizations. Due to the huge resources in the starry sky, most of them are ordinary civilizations, and they do not even have the ability to step into the starry sky, and they do not have enough motivation to break out of interstellar wars. Especially after reaching the level 4 civilization, they have planetary fortresses and curvature technology, open planetary fortresses, and find a corner of the Milky Way to squat. Even level 5 civilizations are difficult to find them.
Even, are the three-level technology like human civilization and nowadays enough? Of course enough!
It is only a matter of minutes for the new human civilization to achieve a hugely prosperous life. With the current intelligent robot production system, most people can live a free life without working, just like humans in the cherry blossom world.
But people dare not!
Even if the quality of citizens has been greatly improved, they still dare not. Examples in various virtual worlds are living counterexamples, which have to be analyzed and studied every few months. If people live too freely and do not have any oppression of life, most people will become waste. This is the fundamental reason for the new human civilization, which has various economic systems and civilization contribution system.
On the other hand, most of this type of low-level interstellar civilizations are afraid of death. After conflicts arise, they will test and mediate each other, and then conduct political negotiations and compromise with each other. They can avoid wars, and it is best not to break out.
If communication is much simpler than destroying the other party, communicate as much as possible, communication becomes the basic logical chain.
On the contrary, civilizations above level 5 have become more likely to break out of genocide wars that destroy the world due to the purification of thinking and all the irrelevant things.
As long as there is a huge conflict in thought, "Please die" is the best choice. When moving your mouth is ineffective, the fifth-level civilization chooses to take action, and the fourth-level civilization will only move your mouth.
This is simply terrifying!
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath. No wonder so many low-level interstellar civilizations have been gathered in the trading market for a long time. On the one hand, after communication, technology can indeed develop more rapidly; on the other hand, it can get the safest shelter here...
The Huantai civilization is only a level four civilization, but the Amoeba civilization behind it is a level six... Although the level five civilization may not put "survival" first, it does not mean that they are irrational.
Of course, after some discussion, people generally feel that the conflict between level five civilizations cannot be all-round, and there will be compromises between each other. Self-regulation is a very profound discipline, and the current wisdom of human beings can only see a small corner.
Otherwise, the universe would not be what it is now.
The belief in higher-level civilizations should not be compulsory religious beliefs, but a purer goal. For example, pursuing technological progress, maintaining the strength of civilization, or even seemingly strange things like "liberating the oppression of the entire universe". These beliefs will be written into the genes and become noble meanings in life.
"I think the fifth-level civilization with a great tendency to destruction may have been eliminated for tens of billions of years, and the rest may be civilizations with relatively peaceful ideology, similar to the Gaia civilization and Hicks civilization."
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "This belief may not be an illusory goal such as 'technology progress'. These too empty directions may bring human behavior patterns into a dead end. Human wisdom is limited. If you cannot see the goal, you don't know how to work hard."
"In fact, in human history, there was a time when humans did have very lofty goals and were willing to fight for this goal for life, with a strong and vigorous fighting will."
So, what is this time period?
World War II.
The soldiers sang high songs, lined up in line, walked generously towards death, and their anger burned the entire sky like fire.
Zhang Yuan has experienced various virtual worlds, and the shining points of human nature will completely explode in some special times.
But it's a pity...
That world is ultimately a dark and lonely world. The red regime eventually collapsed and everything returned to its original state.
After all, flashes are just flashes, and they cannot replace the sun, and in the end nothing happened.
"If the flashing spot that once flashed by was ignited into a real star... how powerful would such a civilization be! I seem to be able to imagine what a real level 5 civilization is like!"
Listening to Zhang Yuan’s remarks, some of the same returnees showed thoughtful expressions, and some of their work partners understood the whole meaning, but it was difficult to truly feel the high-pitched emotion.
"During the war period...yes, including in the years after World War II, people's beliefs remain strong."
"But how should this ideology be maintained for a long time, or even rooted in the gene?"
It's hard to describe it clearly, and it's really hard to describe it through words. Zhang Yuan shook his head, thought for a while, and gave up the description of this aspect.
Only when these young people have truly experienced similar eras in the virtual world can they understand it. It is actually not very useful to describe "they are great" and "they have made sacrifices" by relying on language alone.
To put it bluntly, the times have a huge impact on human beings. Without experiencing that environment, it is difficult to feel the magnificence that has happened in the past, and it is difficult to burn real flames.
On the other hand, what is the level 6 civilization after level 5 civilization? This question is brewing in everyone's heart.
Finally, Minister Chen Mu, who was standing in front, said: "This information is indeed very important, and it even affects our future development direction. However, Level 5 civilization is still too far away for us... Everyone shows that there is no need to worry too much. Level 6 civilization is even more far away."
"Our civilization continues to develop, and its own potential is far from exhausted."
"About the subsequent philosophical tree, the self-regulation system, is a big project and may be more complex than the tech tree."
Zhang Yuan also nodded. In fact, each different ideology has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is inevitable that it will be irrational to blindly modify the thinking mode of the entire race before finding out the state.
Zhao Qingfeng patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said softly: "...I have also experienced a similar world. That spirit is beautiful, but it is also extremely cruel, but it can only be retained in a special period of time."
"The landslide after the peak is too fast. It is really hard to imagine what a civilization will eventually develop if all citizens kept their simple fighting spirit..."
