Cat, a very strange planet in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The local intelligent civilization has developed controllable nuclear fusion technology, has the primary means of interstellar navigation, and has become a first-class civilization. However, this intelligent civilization has no ambition to attack the universe, but is willing to live on its own planet, and their biggest characteristic is their own tourism culture.

If measured by the standards of the new human civilization, this native intelligent civilization is undoubtedly a civilization of the sinkers. However, due to the unique nature of this civilization, new human citizens often come to visit.

"Whew...... Famous cats, here we come! Lin Yueyue looked at the blue planet outside the window and let out a sigh.

More than a year after that disaster, life has returned to peace, and even if some family and friends are lost, life will go on.

She has finished her psychotherapy, signed up for a tour group to Cat Star with her friends, and came here to relax.

The native intelligent species of the cats looks a bit like dolphins, with both hands and legs, and lives on land.

These "dolphin people" have a very mild temper, are not very aggressive, and have similar etiquette habits to humans.

For this kind of civilization, which has developed fusion technology and is almost at the end of its life, the new humans usually adopt the "point contact treaty", that is, point-to-point contact, and try not to interfere in their internal affairs as much as possible.

In the spacecraft, an AI said, "Hello passengers, I'm the Harmony AI. We have a travel agreement with this planet. The local inhabitants are also aware of the existence of aliens, so you can land on the planet for your own tours. ”

"There are a few precautions here, the first is to follow the folk customs here, especially the customs about 'meow', which involves some local social culture. You see things that are mavericks, whether they are reasonable or not, and do not point too much fingers, and do not judge them by human morality; ”

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

The Galactic Progressivist Alliance is a fifth-level civilization alliance, and the currency must be extremely valuable, while the cat planet is only a first-level civilization, and the difference between the two is too great. Prohibiting such private currency exchange avoids diplomatic risks and reduces some fraud.

"And the third point is not to take the risk of eating food that does not have safety standards here, because some foods may cause poisoning and may also pose an addictive risk."

After introducing these, the spacecraft landed smoothly on the ground, and all the visitors stepped out of the spaceship.

The planet's atmosphere has a higher concentration of oxygen, so it can breathe at will.

Lin Yueyue saw dozens of dolphin-like hostesses, lined up in two groups, and they put their white and chubby meows on their heads, producing one after another "purring" sounds.

Meows are furry creatures that look quite cute, weighing around 2.5-5.5 kilograms.

In fact, this creature is not to be underestimated, it is a very agile species, it can climb trees, and it can also catch some small animals.

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

Dolphin people scratch their buttocks with their hands, and the meow will make a "purr" sound in the throat to indicate that they are comfortable.

"Purr!"

"Purr!"

"Purr!"

Human tourists walk through the procession of hostesses, and everywhere they can hear the "purring" sound like the waves of the ocean.

Dolphin people regard this sound as a high-end etiquette, so they keep scratching their meow's buttocks, and the louder the "purr" sound they make, the more they value their guests.

Faced with this kind of ghost animal 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 Li Qing seemed to have a tooth mark on her mouth.

When it was finally time to move freely, many people began to laugh out loud.

Hahaha!

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

"I was about to be unable to hold it back just now, and I accidentally bit my mouth!" Li Qing was a little helpless.

In front of it is a huge, specially built meow cultural amusement square for aliens, which has a dazzling array of shopping malls and some cultural museums, and a meow sculpture of more than ten meters is displayed in front of you.

In some places, people are also able to pet these furry animals themselves.

"The meow here has a higher legal status than the dolphin people. So there are no wild meows here, every meow has its owner's ...... By the way, the most important point is that the meow is not allowed to fall on the concrete floor in the field outside, otherwise its owner will be fined; If you abandon the meow, its owner will not only be fined, but may also go to jail! ”

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

Obviously, Lin Yueyue has done a lot of homework for this trip, and she is almost familiar with the local customs and culture.

"Why is this weird culture happening?" Li Qing asked, taking a few pictures of a statue next to her.

Lin Yueyue thought for a while: "I don't know very well...... It may have something to do with the local culture and history. It is said that in ancient times, the two species were in a symbiotic state, closer than humans and dogs. ”

"But with the development of the times, the intelligence of the dolphin people has gradually risen, the society has become more and more developed, and the role of the meow species has become smaller and smaller."

"After that, there were some incidents of abuse and abandonment, which triggered a violent backlash in traditional culture, so these laws were enacted, which evolved into what it is now."

"You know, it's not easy to maintain moderation in a certain social climate, and it tends to go from one extreme to another. Some people abuse meows, and some people want to protect. So how to prohibit this small number of abuses can only be law...... It's too much. ”

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

"I think there are still some dolphin people who hate this practice, and it's weird to think that the status of a species is higher than their own," she said. ”

"If I were living in this environment, I would probably get bored. It's too harsh. ”

Lin Yueyue nodded, but quickly shook her head: "Even if you don't want to, you can't help it...... Will policymakers listen to the opinions of a few? Of course not. Sometimes, even if it's the opinion of the majority, they won't listen. ”

"Because this unique culture is able to attract aliens and bring great economic benefits, this benefit is enough! Modified this culture, this is an ordinary planet, who will travel here? ”

Lin Yueyue seemed to think of something: "Let me give you another example, in ancient times, why did some countries ban eating dog meat and abandon their traditional culture?" Are dogs pathetic? Aren't pigs, cows and sheep pitiful? Chickens and ducks are not pitiful? Isn't it just to be in line with foreign countries, or to satisfy the moral superiority of a small number of people? It's hypocritical. ”

Listening to her say this, the evolution of this meow culture seems to be somewhat understandable......

"Did you wash it or not, (hello), Ha garbage card baga (how much is this baked cake)?"

"5 yuan!"

The dolphin man began to make yakiniku quickly, and the safety tag on his table meant that humans could eat the food.

There is a meow on his head that is guarding the ground, and even if this kind of vigilance does not have much meaning in this society now...... Meow still faithfully fulfills her duty.

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

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

Lin Yueyue explained: "Because the meow on his head will be vigilant, he is a poor person. In the real upper class, Meow has long lost this instinct and is all lazy and chubby. There is only a world of poor people, and there may be conflicts between each other, you see that this meow is relatively lean and thin, but also has claws, and has a certain combat effectiveness. It is said that the underworld is quite popular on this planet......"

"Underworld?!"

"Of course, I've read transhuman surveys, and it's a society with a huge gap between rich and poor. Where the government cannot manage, it can only be solved by relying on local triads. ”

"This is a first-class civilization?!" Li Qing was taken aback in her heart, such a thing as the underworld was too far away for her.

Behind the glamorous, there is often a dark side that is not known...... However, what this civilization shows to tourists is bright, even a little funny and cute.

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

"Your pancakes!"

"Thank you!"

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

Next, the two of them visited Meow Restaurant, Meow Amusement Park, Meow Museum and other well-known tourist places, which is indeed quite interesting and has a wonderful experience.

He even touched the furry animals himself, with the consent of their owners, of course.

In the amusement park, there is a group of special dolphin people who raise meows here.

"Purr, purr......"

"Look it makes a sound, it makes a sound! Wow, this meow is so fat, this feels so cool to the touch! ”

“…… Why does it make a purring sound when you touch it? When you touch it, you arch your whole body? ”

"Haha, I know, touching it here can satisfy its **, it's naturally very cool! Hey. ”

"It would be nice to have one!"

"No, that's what the two governments said when they signed the agreement. It is not allowed to buy and sell meows privately, otherwise their society will be in chaos. For many dolphin people, meows are like family and cannot be bought or sold. ”

"Okay, okay, got it...... I think it's actually quite happy to live here. It's also good to keep some small animals every day. ”

Listening to the discussion of her companions, Lin Yueyue always felt a little weak, and she couldn't help but retort: "Happiness? Show you a glamorous surface, and you feel that this civilization is very happy? Do you really understand this civilization? Have you seen the transhuman report? It is irrational to speak without in-depth investigation! ”

"You feel very happy when you touch it a few times now, and when you don't live as well as meow, I wonder if you will still feel happy?"

"Okay, okay, Sister Yueyue, don't be so serious. Everybody's just out to play. Li Qing hurriedly persuaded him.

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

While all the cultural experiences here are novel, it's a little uncomfortable to think that it's all fabricated to please tourists.

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

"Now the virtual world has almost everything, and you can play it when you upload your consciousness, and you don't need to take a spaceship."

Lin Yueyue decided to return to the spaceship and read the social reports investigated by the superhumans to understand the world more realistically.

Li Qing reluctantly put down the meow in her hand, and for the sake of her revolutionary friendship, she could only follow this more true friend back to the spaceship.

……

In essence, this is a very simple capitalist society, not much different from the rest of the sinker civilization. Everything that capitalism brings can be embodied in this civilization. And the culture that people experience is only the good side of it.

"So I'm wondering, why so many civilizations can't get rid of capitalism......" Lin Yueyue put down the computer in her hand and sighed.

"You're too big a problem, isn't it?" Li Qing frowned, this problem is indeed unsolvable for young people, because they have not experienced the so-called exploitation and exploitation at all.

"According to sociologists' survey reports, there are many reasons why it is impossible to get rid of capitalism, and one of them is globalization. ”

The vast majority of civilizations, even in the interstellar age, are still divided, with many nations.

In general, the cooperation of these countries is mixed with competition, that is, there is a process of globalization of the economy, talents, and goods, in which transnational capital plays an important role, and where the cost of production is cheap, these transnational capital will flow.

Once a country imposes capital restrictions, that is, the cost of production increases, then transnational capital will flow to other places very easily, and if the capital outflow reaches a certain point, the country can easily fall into recession.

As a result, almost all countries trapped in globalization have fallen into a prisoner's dilemma: they have to curry favor with capital and keep it out of circulation as much as possible.

Thus the bourgeoisie united as never before, forming a huge civilizational obstacle. Even the most ambitious revolutionaries will find it difficult to overcome this natural problem, and embracing capital is almost impossible to solve.

"So, some people think that globalization is a trap that is difficult to overcome."

Seeing this, Lin Yueyue sighed.

This matter is also very understandable, in the former earth era, some countries allowed hibernation, and some countries did not allow hibernation, so all the people who wanted to hibernate ran over, bringing huge benefits to these countries that were open to hibernation.

The small problem of hibernation alone is so difficult to control because of political divisions, let alone economic flows in a globalized environment.

Of course, there are so many pitfalls about civilization that this is just one of them, and it's much more unsolvable than that. If you really want to study cosmic sociology, it may take a short period of time.

"Is there a planet where you can experience real culture and be quite interesting?" Lin Yueyue asked the artificial intelligence inside the spaceship.

"Truth, it must be truthful, not this false culture of flattery!"

The artificial intelligence searched for a while and said: "There is an unpopular planet, and it is indeed possible to experience real culture. According to the survey, we humans named it Dolphin Star, which is located in the very distant Andromeda Galaxy. ”

"Dolphin Star?" Lin Yueyue really hadn't heard of this term.

It turns out that superhumans have already begun to explore the Andromeda Galaxy.

"Your age group, you can check it out."

What else do I need to look up the age group?

The two girls couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly searched the screen for a while, but it was only a few minutes, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

[Dolphin Star, located in the Andromeda Galaxy, a first-class civilization, a famous tourist planet, where you can experience the most brutal survival competition culture. 】

【…… We found two intelligent beings on the planet, one of which resembles a monkey, naming it Monkey Man; There is also a pig that resembles the earth, which we named the dolphin. In the long competition, the monkey people won and created a glorious civilization on the planet. 】

[Dolphins have a certain degree of intelligence, but they are the favorite food of monkey people, and they are reduced to livestock. Note that the animal has a very high level of intelligence, and we believe that it can reach 100 intelligence if it is well educated. 】

[In order to reduce the resistance of the dolphins, the monkey people will cut off the anterior lobe of their brain when they are just born, and then dispose of them in the feedlot. The fate of the dolphin in its whole life is to grow its own fat and then be eaten. Due to a lack of socialization, a lack of culture, and the removal of the anterior lobe of the brain, they don't even know they have intellectual potential. 】

[A small percentage of dolphins are used for acrobatics in interstellar diplomacy events, and they are allowed to retain the anterior lobe of the brain and possess some intelligence. 】

[We found a small group of dolphins with social interactions. It's just a pity that they don't have the heart and motivation to resist. 】

[The most ridiculous thing is that the monkey people love an animal similar to a dog, and have made harsh protection laws for this animal, which are similar to the cats of the Great Magellanic system.] The monkey people love this little animal to satisfy their vanity and sense of morality. 】
