Chapter 182: The Same Civilization Journey

"Why is the history of the development of Muba civilization so similar to that of us humans? Aren't they producers of intelligent life?

Whether it is the form of existence, or psychology, or psychological needs, the Muba people are very different from us human beings, why are the civilization processes of the two sides so similar? ”

Looking at the Muba people who have entered the slave period in the video, who are piercing the nerves of the slaves with sharpened spears, and forcing the slaves to dig coal in the deep coal mines with pain and punishment, many people in the Mars exploration program cannot understand.

How familiar this scene is, and how similar it is to the slave period in human history.

Obviously they are two different races, obviously two different civilizations, obviously things happening on two different planets, how can things happen so similar?

"Could it be that our human genes and the genes of the Muba people are the same root?" Some researchers have come up with a frightening speculation.

"Commander Lu, come on."

Seeing that an incomprehensible researcher looked at him, Comrade Lao Su gave way to the side very sensibly and asked Lu Yi to explain the problem.

"Land Commander ......"

"The answer to this question is actually quite simple."

Lu Yi did not refuse Comrade Su's kindness to give in to create prestige for himself, and said with a smile: "This question, in the eyes of biologists who study the origin of life, the evolution of life, and the genes of life, this is a genetic instinct.

In the eyes of philosophers, this is the philosophy of life, the philosophy of genes, and the philosophy of wisdom.

In the eyes of sociologists, this is institutional change and evolution.

Of course, whether it is instinct, philosophy, or system, the answer to this question is essentially the same meaning.

Compared with these esoteric theories of what instincts, what philosophies, and what institutions are so high, I prefer to explain this problem in a more down-to-earth way that is easier for everyone to understand.

That's natural selection, it's human nature. ”

"When everyone sees this picture of the enslavement of the shepherds, when they recall the period of human slavery, they only notice the act of enslavement, they only pay attention to the slaves, but ignore the problems that have arisen in some of the loser tribes."

"In the slave period of civilization, the environment at that time, and the practical factors of all aspects at that time, determined that the capture of slaves could make the tribe stronger, so it was inevitable for the tribe to enslave slaves.

Tribes that do not develop slaves do not exist, whether it is the period of the Muba people or our human beings in this period, there will be no shortage of such tribes of the Holy Father and Our Lady.

However, these tribes of the Holy Father and the Virgin will eventually be wiped out by the more powerful slave tribes because their strength is not as good as that of the slave tribes, and then evolve into a situation where the entire civilization enters the slave period. ”

"It's a natural selection, the same as natural selection in genetic evolution."

"It's like the wisdom of the human beings is getting higher and higher, and the wisdom of the Muba people is getting higher and higher, is this predetermined?"

"No, the mutation is random, there are more intelligent offspring, and there will definitely be more intelligent and stupid offspring.

It's just that those stupid humans, the stupid Muba people, they have all been eliminated, and the more intelligent humans and Muba people remain, so everyone will see that the wisdom of human beings has been evolving, and the wisdom of the Muba people has been evolving. ”

"It's about explaining this from the point of view of natural selection, and then I explain it from the point of view of human nature."

Lu Yi, who has been in charge of the Mars exploration program for more than eight months and has studied many related issues many times, explained that this problem is very handy.

Looking at this group of doctors and professors, like well-behaved students listening carefully, Lu Yi smiled and asked a question: "Everyone thinks that we are far from the Muba people, and we are not the same, right?" ”

"Yes."

Isn't it obvious, one is a predator, the other is a producer, the other is eating meat and drinking water, and the other is basking in the sun and drinking water to breathe carbon, and the existence and needs of the two are completely different.

"That's right, after all, the Muba people are aliens, so it must be different."

Lu Yi smiled and continued: "In terms of physiological characteristics, in terms of form of existence, and in terms of survival needs, we are different from the Muba people, but there is one thing that we humans and Muba people are completely the same, that is, we are all intelligent beings.

The Muba people are now taking the route of intelligent evolution, and we humans are also taking the route of intelligent evolution, and even all the aliens in the universe, as long as they are intelligent races, then everyone is on the same evolutionary route.

The intelligent life is not subjective wisdom at all, but desire, the heart that pursues profit.

This core determines that between us and the Muba, and between us and all the aliens in the universe, the essence of thinking is actually the same.

The way of thinking is the same, the thinking mode is the same, and the core needs are the same.

What we pursue is delicious food, fragrant car beauties, villas and yachts, and the pursuit of Muba people is high concentration of carbon gas, more sunlight, and more water.

If this is replaced by a silicon-based civilization, then the silicon-based people are pursuing suitable high-temperature areas, cosmic rays that are more comfortable for them in frequency bands and intensities, etc.

It seems that everyone pursues different things, but in essence they are the same, they are all for the desire in their hearts, and they are all for their own interests.

What is human nature? The essence of human nature is desire and profit.

Even the Virgin, in fact, she is also for her own desires and interests, and the actions of the Virgin Mary can bring her a kind of psychological satisfaction, so she will go to the Virgin.

Therefore, it is determined that we can use human human thinking and combine the reality factors of aliens to speculate on the code of conduct of aliens.

We were able to develop slavery for more food and more labor.

Then when we know that the basic needs of the Muba people are carbon, water, and sunlight, then we can infer that the Muba people developed slavery for carbon, water, and sunlight.

Even when we found the body of another alien, through the dissection it was discovered that he needed some kind of special mineral, that he needed some kind of special rays.

Then we can also deduce that in the history of the development of this alien civilization, there must have been a slave period because of this special mineral and special rays. ”

"Commander Lu, isn't this the same for all alien civilizations?" Questions were raised.

"No, it won't all be the same, if it's the same, then we won't have to study it."

Lu Yi shook his head and said seriously: "It should be said that it will be the same before the development of modern civilization, and the development process of civilization will be the same in the stage of survival and clothing."

However, once it develops into modern civilization, everyone has enough to eat and wears warm clothes, and begins to transition from the stage of subsistence and clothing to the stage of spiritual needs, then there will be different ideas because of the different forms of existence, the different environments in which they live, and the different civilization systems.

Dissecting an alien corpse, we can only determine their survival, the approximate history of the development of their civilization and the approximate institutional situation.

If you want to really determine their situation, you need to comprehensively understand their system, understand their culture, and then combine it with human nature norms to determine.

Of course, unless we break through alien warships, crack their brains, or secretly observe their lives for a period of time, then we can obtain detailed institutional information and cultural conditions, otherwise ordinary third-class contact will not obtain so much information.

At this time, we can infer their aesthetics, emotional outlook, social structure, social culture, and social system through the opponent's battleship style, structural design, language, and style of daily objects, and then roughly determine the situation of this alien civilization.

But regardless of the system and culture, the core of all extraterrestrial civilizations is the norms of human nature, and they are all pursuing desires and interests, which are the foundation of intelligent life.

The only difference may be because of the influence of the system and culture, some things that we think are interests are worthless in the eyes of the other party. ”

"Will there be a civilization in the universe that is not centered on desires and interests?" A Ph.D. girl who had just graduated from a doctorate and studied geology and ecology looked at Lu Yi and asked curiously.

"Do you say there are tigers that don't eat people?" Lu Yi didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.

"Probably not." The doctor's sister said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, there's one in the zoo."

Lu Yi smiled and said solemnly: "If you really encounter such a civilization, then how far can you go, don't enter other people's testing grounds at will...... This is not to be provoked. ”
