In the middle of the discussion, the whole conference room fell silent again.

After pondering for a while, the people asked again: "Dear Thoth Civilization, I would like to ask you one last question, in addition to modifying your own genetic motive, is there no way to advance to the fifth level of civilization?" ”

The other person replied, "No, it's not, it's just a better way." There are some races that are innate with extraordinary wisdom that can directly climb to the level of a fifth-level civilization or even a sixth-level civilization. ”

"But the vast majority of civilizations, with all their might, can only reach the level of a third-level civilization and a fourth-level civilization. Then the rate of progress slows down, and it takes time to build up. ”

"You know, once a scientist has spent his whole life without making any progress, it is undoubtedly a frustrating thing for him. If such a population grows, the entire civilization is likely to lose momentum...... Civilization is not an individual, and it does not mean that it can progress if it wants to. However, the progress of civilization requires the efforts of countless individuals. ”

"So, it's a good way to revise your own genetic philosophy in the long night."

Everyone present looked at each other and smiled bitterly, human beings should not be considered a species with a particularly high race value. Among the intelligent species surveyed so far, they are only in the upper middle ranking, and the Badiths, who can survive for thousands of years, have a strong memory, which is much superior to humans.

If the upper limit of the development of the Badit people is a fourth-level civilization, then the upper realm of human intelligence is likely to only be at the level of a third-level civilization.

There is a limit to human intelligence, even if we continue to transform the brain, strengthen memory, improve the speed of calculation, logical thinking ability, etc., there will still be some things that are congenitally lacking.

For example, it is difficult for human beings to imagine what it is like to have "magnetic field perception", and it is difficult to imagine what it is like to have "three eyes", let alone understand "four-dimensional perception".

This kind of limit must spend a lot of time and learn from more different intelligent life forms to be able to slowly break through.

However, a civilization is dynamically changing, if it does not move forward, it will retreat, civilization is composed of individuals, not to say that shouting a slogan, the individuals below can fight for a goal for a long time. They also have their own ideas, and since their efforts have no results, they simply don't bother to work hard.

As time slowly passes, the social atmosphere within the civilization will become more and more lazy and become a civilization of the sinkers.

Therefore, there is a way to modify the driving force of oneself and urge oneself to keep moving forward. If a certain goal becomes the meaning of life, just like eating and drinking, it must be done, then even if it takes 100,000 years, it will not completely sink in millions of years.

After a long time, after discussing the relevant issues, the human diplomatic team replied with some regret: "Thank you for your answer, thank you very much." ”

"You're welcome, there are still many opportunities for us to deal with in the future. Hopefully, your civilization will continue to improve. ”

"I also hope that your civilization can continue to improve."

The last sentence is also a common etiquette in the trading market, and continuous improvement is always a good thing.

The interior of the ship was silent, and people could even hear their own breathing and heartbeat. There are still many unsolved mysteries that have not been answered, but for a while, they are embarrassed to catch this civilization and ask more questions.

The new humans will also make deals with more interstellar civilizations, and it would be good to rub a little bit of information over when the time comes.

It is certainly unwise to blindly believe in a civilization.

……

And just like that, two months passed quickly. The people of this spaceship have already traded with five different civilizations, exchanged various technologies, and gained a lot of interstellar knowledge......

The first is about the "Crimson Industrial Alliance", which is the latest birth of the galaxy and is dedicated to exporting revolution to the outside world.

There are some interstellar civilizations that are afraid of this powerful alliance, but there are actually some interstellar civilizations that worship this civilization. The views of low-level interstellar civilizations are also different, and there is an additional layer of confusing awakening.

“…… We believe that such an alliance is strong and full of good intentions. It has defeated many interstellar civilizations that are accustomed to being affiliated with high-potential races, how great, how desirable! Most of our population is even willing to join this alliance! ”

“……”

"The galaxy is so vast that there are always races that are born with extremely high intelligence potential, far beyond normal species. It's just that because of the late start, it happened to be discovered by other interstellar civilizations, so it was in a state of enslavement. If no one rescues them, they will live forever in slavery without any freedom! ”

"There are endless mediocre civilizations in the world! The Milky Way, galaxy clusters, and the entire universe, endless, countless races! Either enslaved by other races, or enslaved by their own class...... An alliance full of monstrous anger has made the export of revolution its own driving force...... Yes! ”

Such a goal seems very empty, as if it were just an ethereal slogan, but there are really civilizations that do it.

Moreover, the other party is far more powerful than humans, which is intimidating.

Regarding the glorious achievements of the fifth-level civilization "Crimson Industrial Alliance", they eliminated the first equivalent fifth-level civilization, which was the notorious Green Star civilization.

"The Green Star civilization is a super life form born from the ocean, because the ocean planet has no land, it is difficult to have flames, there is no way to smelt metals by conventional means, and it is simply more difficult to develop into the interstellar era."

But the Green Star civilization actually evolved and mutated, and gave birth to a unique ability, they can extract metals from the ocean through the organism itself, and biologically smelt various chemicals. Moreover, their brains are exceptionally developed, and this fifth-level civilization has given birth to a complete set of biosmelting systems very early, and the technology tree is completely different from normal civilizations.

"In the process of development, the Green Star civilization did not cause much environmental damage to the native planet due to the unique technology tree. They feel like it's the norm. ”

"In their ideology, they believe that if the development of science and technology destroys the environment of the native planet, then there is no doubt that the planet is like a pest. In the process of interstellar wandering, they will destroy some intelligent races that destroy the environment of their own planet, and claim to be fair to themselves and the development of other life on the planet. ”

A short, big-headed alien is in front of a screen, shaking his head and telling what he has seen and heard.

There is no doubt that this alien is a fanatical admirer of the Crimson Industrial Union.

As an interstellar civilization that has just arrived in the trading market, human beings can always bring more trade, and such trade is a win-win situation. So these aliens don't mind giving some free information after completing the transaction.

"In tens of thousands of years, the Green Star civilization has destroyed hundreds of civilizations that have already broken out of the industrial revolution, and they are extremely disgusted with thick black smoke and polluted water resources......"

“…… Eventually, the Crimson Industrial Union was encountered, and a real, ideologically induced war broke out. ”
