Lenino civilization, if divided according to the conventional interstellar rank, can be regarded as a first-level civilization, with navigation capabilities between planets and able to exploit extraterrestrial resources.

Moreover, this is a civilization with a long history of more than one million years.

However, since this civilization invented the controlled nuclear fusion technology, it has gradually lost its momentum to move forward. As for the invention of controlled nuclear fusion, it may have been more than 900,000 years ago... This is true for the conventional descent civilization. After a period of rapid progress, it has been in a state of stagnation for a long time, and the whole people are addicted to the development of pseudoscience.

The so-called pseudoscience is a discipline that is difficult to explain in fundamental principles or is simply wrong, but there are many subjects that people are willing to believe in.

The low-end pseudoscience includes perpetual motion machines, bugs appear out of thin air, and eggs and milk cannot be eaten together; the high-end includes quantum mysticism, cardiomyoscience, n-rays, and other academic frauds created by well-known scholars.

If no one reveals academic fraud, every individual is addicted to pseudoscience and cannot extricate himself, civilization will naturally stop progressing, and even a small number of people who want to uphold justice are often submerged in the vast ocean of people's war because of their little voice...

In fact, the technology of first-level civilization is enough to meet the needs of the people. Even if the development is slow, it is nothing. They have controlled nuclear fusion technology, the most basic artificial intelligence, primary medical materials science, and certain space development capabilities. Population growth has stagnated, and food and clothing are not a problem. In this situation where productivity is far greater than demand, what else is worth developing?

The so-called "scientific progress" is just an excuse made up to paralyze the thoughts of the lower class... As long as this excuse still exists, the class will still produce a small amount of flow. Even if this flow relies on pseudoscience that deceives and cheats, it is better than the one that does not flow at all.

In a long-term stable and peaceful environment, the Lenino civilization has developed a total of one and a half extraterrestrial planets. Half is a gas planet around, that is, a nuclear fuel bank, and the other is naturally a red companion star around...

It is not uncommon for this situation to occur. With the low population growth rate, there is really no need to develop every planet. Why bother to occupy more unused territory?

There is no need to do these things without much benefit.

There are 26 hidden ruling families in civilization. Although the governments of various countries currently seem to be democratically elected, there is always the manipulation of these 26 families behind them. They manipulate public opinion, capital, the so-called president, and the prime minister are just the spokespersons of capital.

Because it is difficult to inherit something like power, each individual has a big difference in personal abilities. Individuals with poor abilities will be in trouble to inherit power.

Therefore, these ruling families generally do not face the people directly. This choice is very smart.

But inheriting wealth is much simpler. After long-term capital development, most of the property on the entire planet is monopolized by these 26 families. In addition, technology has gradually stopped improving, and the families that were originally fighting for life and death, became harmonious with each other...

The world is already peaceful, and productivity is far greater than demand. As long as each manages its own territory, the long-lost peace takes place on this planet. As long as public opinion is controlled, 26 families can permanently rule this civilization.

Such a peaceful life seems to be able to continue for hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years.

Even as time goes by, the various families have become more enlightened in their struggles, and have distributed a lot of their endless wealth to the people, including low-rent housing, relief meals, and basic social welfare systems. Life on this planet is very simple. As long as one person works hard, he can support the entire family.

In the eyes of these rulers, they cannot use up all these property themselves and can still gain the support of the people. Why not do it?

Coupled with the rich electronic chemical hormones, it can bring the cheapest way of entertainment, so the overall happiness of individuals in Lenino civilization is actually extremely high, and the overall crime rate is also very low...

This is also the standard status of civilization for many degraded people... Whether it is a degraded person civilization has nothing to do with the people's sense of happiness.

"Ah, every time I come to this space port at Lagrangian point, I feel the power of the entire civilization! We have actually built such a huge space observation device, and the power of collective cooperation is really great!"

"Yes, thousands of years ago, this spaceport at Lagrangian Point was still in the planning stage, but now, in the hands of our generation, it's finally done."

This spaceport has 26 families and was recently built with collective investment. It can be regarded as the largest interstellar transport transit station of this civilization.

Several noble children of Lenino civilization are lamenting the greatness of technology.

“Praise technology and praise cooperation.”

“Yes, the most important thing is cooperation.”

They boarded a spaceship, headed to the red companion star next door, and then started chatting casually: "I heard that in recent years, the number of users of C-type electron hormones has increased again, and the death cycle that once every few hundred years is coming again... These populations will be eliminated soon and then a new batch will be replaced. When I first heard about this, I thought they were pitiful..."

These intelligent lives look a bit like orangutans, with two hands and two legs, and wearing a small amount of clothing on them, which shows that they have similar concepts of shame to humans. The concepts of shame can also be associated with morality, so this is a species with empathy.

A Lenino man made a shooting move, "Poor? Death cycle was caused by them... I once contacted homeless people on the roadside and asked them if they wanted to live in a better environment or if they wanted to get some electronic hormones every day? If they wanted to live in a low-rent house, I could pay some money to fund them."

"But the vast majority of homeless people choose electronic hormones! They say they are voluntary!"

"So... choosing such a life has nothing to do with us, it's just that they ask for it."

"You are so kind, Mr. Orn, and you will also pay attention to those homeless people."

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm more looking forward to killing insects. Amani, what new weapons have your family developed?"
