Meow Star, a very strange planet in the Great Magellanic Cloud. The local intelligent civilization has developed controllable nuclear fusion technology, has primary interstellar navigation methods, and has become a genuine first-class civilization. However, this intelligent civilization has no ambition to attack the universe, but is willing to live in its own planet. Their biggest feature is their own tourism culture.

If measured according to the standards of the new human civilization, this local wisdom civilization is undoubtedly a depressed civilization. However, because this civilization is quite unique, new human citizens often come to travel.

"Huh... the famous cat star, we are here!" Lin Yueyue looked at the blue planet outside the window and sighed.

More than a year after that disaster, life has returned to peace. Even if you lose some relatives and friends, life will continue.

She had finished her psychological treatment and filled out a tour group to Meow Star with her friends, and came here to relax.

The native intelligent species of Meow Star looks a bit like a dolphin, with hands and legs, and live on land.

These "dolphin people" have very gentle tempers, are not aggressive, and their etiquette and habits are similar to those of humans.

For this civilization that has developed fusion technology and has almost reached its end, the new human beings usually adopt a "point contact treaty", that is, point-to-point contact, and do not interfere with their internal affairs as much as possible.

Among the spacecraft, an artificial intelligence said: "Hello everyone, everyone, I am the Harmonious Artificial Intelligence. We have signed a tourism agreement with this planet. Local residents also know the existence of aliens, so you can land on the planet in person for tourism."

"There are several things to note here. The first is to follow the folk customs here, especially the customs of "meow", which involves some local social culture. When you see some unique things, whether reasonable or not, don't point too much, and you cannot judge them by human morality;"

"Secondly, if you buy goods here, you need to use local currency. We will provide exchange rate conversion tools specifically, strictly prohibit exchange rate conversion in the local black market, and prohibit the random sale of products of new human civilization..."

The Galaxy Progressive Alliance is a five-level civilization alliance, and currency must be extremely valuable. While the Cat Planet is just a first-level civilization, the difference between the two is too big. Prohibiting this private currency exchange behavior can avoid diplomatic risks and also reduce certain frauds.

"There is another third point. Please do not rashly eat foods that do not contain safety standards. Some foods may lead to poisoning and may also bring about addictive risks."

After introducing these, the spacecraft landed smoothly on the ground and all the tourists walked out of the spacecraft.

The atmosphere of this planet has a higher concentration of oxygen, so you can breathe at will.

Lin Yueyue saw dozens of dolphin-like entertainers lined up in two groups. They pressed white and fat cats on their heads, making "hulu" sounds one after another.

Meow is a furry creature that looks quite cute, with a mass of about 2.5-5.5 kg.

In fact, this kind of creature should not be underestimated. Its species with very agile skills can climb trees and catch some small animals.

But under the long-term care of the Dolphins, these guys have become quite lazy and have basically lost the ability to take care of themselves.

Dolphins grab their butts with their hands, and the meow will make a "hurrying" sound in their throats, indicating that they are very comfortable.

"Hululu!"

"Hululu!"

"Hululu!"

Human tourists walked by the middle of the entertainer team, and could hear "hunching" sounds like waves everywhere.

Dolphins regard this sound as a high-end etiquette, so they keep scratching the cat's butt. The louder the "hulu" sound made by the cat means the more they pay attention to the guests.

Faced with such a ghost scene, Lin Yueyue was almost unable to hold back the smile on her face. She looked back at her good friend Li Qing, and saw that there seemed to be a tooth mark on Li Qing's mouth.

Finally it was time for free activities, and many people began to laugh wildly.

Hahaha!

After laughing, Lin Yueyue asked, "Why are you bleeding?"

"I was almost unable to hold it in, so I accidentally bit my mouth!" Li Qing was a little helpless.

Next is a huge cat culture amusement square built specifically for aliens. There are a wide range of shopping malls, some cultural museums, and a cat sculpture worth more than ten meters is displayed in front of you.

In some places, people can also touch these furry animals themselves.

"The cat here has a higher legal status than the dolphins. So there is no wild cat here. Every cat has its owner... By the way, the most important thing is that the cat is not allowed to fall on the concrete floor outside, otherwise its owner will be fined; if the cat abandons it, its owner will not be fined just as simple as fines, but may also go to jail!"

"Every meow has its own citizen ID card and its owner. Haha, it's very interesting, right?"

Obviously, Lin Yueyue did a lot of homework for this trip, and she almost got it right in terms of local customs and culture.

"Why does this strange culture appear?" Li Qing asked, taking a few photos of a statue next to her.

Lin Yueyue thought for a while: "I don't know very well...it may be related to the local cultural history. It is said that in ancient times, these two species were in a symbiotic state and were closer than humans and dogs."

"But with the development of the times, the intelligence of the dolphins gradually increased, the society became more and more developed, and the role of the species Meow was getting smaller and smaller."

"After this, some cat abuse and abandoned cat incidents occurred, which triggered a sharp rebound in traditional culture, so these laws were formulated and evolved into what they are now."

"You know, it is not easy to maintain moderate social atmosphere. It often goes from one extreme to another. Some people abuse me, and some people want to protect me. So how to prohibit such a small part of abuse, only laws can be issued... The so-called excessive is just as insufficient."

Li Qing nodded, although she still couldn't imagine such inexplicable history.

She said: "I think there will be some dolphins who hate this practice. It is too strange to see a species' status higher than themselves."

"If I were living in this environment, I might feel bored. It's too harsh."

Lin Yueyue nodded, but quickly shook her head: "Even if you don't want to... Will policy makers listen to the opinions of a small number of people? Of course not. Sometimes, even if the majority of people are concerned, they will not listen."

"Because this unique culture can attract aliens and bring huge economic benefits, this benefit is enough! After modifying this culture, this is an ordinary planet. Who will come here to travel?"

Lin Yueyue seemed to think of something: "Let me give another example. In ancient times, why did some countries prohibit eating dog meat and abandon their traditional culture? Are dogs pitiful? Are pigs, cattle and sheep not pitiful? Chicken and duck not pitiful? Isn't it just to connect with foreign countries or to satisfy the moral superiority of a small number of people? It's really hypocritical."

After hearing what she said, the evolution of this cat culture seems to be somewhat understandable...

"Was it washed or not (hello), ha trash Kabaga (how much does this sesame cake cost)?"

"5 yuan!"

The dolphin man began to make sesame cakes quickly, and the safety label placed on his table meant that humans could eat this food.

There was a cat on his head who was keeping a guard alert. Even if this kind of vigilance had little meaning in this society now... The cat still faithfully performed its duties.

"There are still poor people in their society..." Lin Yueyue said.

"How do you know that he is poor? Is it a poor person to make baked cakes?" Li Qing was a little puzzled.

Lin Yueyue explained: "Because the cat above his head is alert, it is the poor. In the real upper class, the cat has long lost this instinct, all of which are lazy and chubby. The world of only the poor may conflict with each other. You see, this cat is more delicate and thin, has claws, and has a certain combat power. It is said that the underworld is quite popular on this planet..."

"March?!"

"Of course, I have read the superhuman investigation report. This is a society with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. A place that the government cannot manage can only be solved by local underworlds."

"Is this a first-level civilization?!" Li Qing was shocked. Things like the underworld were too far away for her.

Behind the glamorous beauty, there is often an unknown dark side hidden... However, what this civilization shows to tourists is bright, even a bit funny and cute.

But how many people are willing to know the true truth?

"Your sauté!"

"Thanks!"

Lin Yueyue took a bite and the flour on this planet was very chewy, and the filling inside was a bit like dried plums.

Next, the two of them visited famous tourist places such as Meow Restaurant, Meow Amusement Park, Meow Museum, etc. It was indeed quite interesting and had a wonderful experience with unique flavor.

He even touched these furry animals in person, of course, the prerequisite was to obtain the consent of his owner.

In the amusement park, there is a group of special dolphins raising meows here.

"Hululu, Hululu..."

"Look at it making a sound, it makes a sound! Wow, this meow is so fat, it feels so good to touch!"

"...Why does it make a rumble sound when touching it? When touching it, it will arch its entire body?"

"Haha, I know that touching it here can satisfy its **, it will naturally be very pleasant! Hehe."

"It would be great if I could keep one!"

"No, this was stipulated when the two governments signed the agreement. It is not allowed to buy and sell cats privately, otherwise their society will be in chaos. For many dolphins, cats are like family members and cannot be used for sale."

"Okay, okay, I know... I think it's actually quite happy to live here. It's good to raise some small animals every day."

Listening to the discussions of her companions, Lin Yueyue always felt a little weak. She couldn't help but retort: ​​"Happiness? Show you a glamorous surface. Do you think this civilization is very happy? Do you really understand this civilization? Have you read the superhuman report? Speaking without in-depth investigation is an irrational behavior!"

"You feel very happy when you touch it a few times now. When you are not as good as a cat, I wonder if you will still feel happy?"

"Okay, okay, Sister Yueyue, don't be so serious. Everyone is just coming out to play." Li Qing hurriedly persuaded.

Lin Yueyue didn't continue talking, but just shook her head, not wanting to continue playing here.

Although all the cultural experiences here are novel, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think that this is all just to please the content made by tourists.

"It's better to experience some hypocritical culture than to experience the virtual world."

"There are almost all content in the virtual world now. You can play it by uploading consciousness, and you don't have to take a spaceship."

Lin Yueyue decided to return to the spaceship and check the social reports investigated by Superhumans, and understand the world more realistically.

Li Qing reluctantly put down the cat in her hand. For the sake of her revolutionary friendship, she could only follow this serious friend to return to the spaceship.

...

In essence, this is a very simple capitalist society, and there is no big difference from the rest of the depressed civilizations. Everything brought by capitalism can be reflected in this civilization. The culture people experience is only a beautiful side.

"So I was wondering why so many civilizations cannot get rid of capitalism..." Lin Yueyue put down the computer at hand and sighed.

"Your problem is too big!" Li Qing frowned. This problem is indeed unsolvable for young people, because they have never experienced the so-called exploitation and being exploited at all.

Lin Yueyue said: "According to the sociologist's investigation report, there are many reasons why we cannot get rid of capitalism, one of which is globalization."

Most civilizations, even in the interstellar era, are still divided and have many countries.

Generally speaking, these countries are mixed with competition in cooperation, that is, the process of globalization of economy, talents and commodities emerges. Among them, transnational capital plays an important role. Wherever the production cost is cheap, these transnational capital will flow to wherever it is.
