The Lenino civilization, if divided according to the regular interstellar hierarchy, can be regarded as a first-level civilization, with the ability to travel between planets and be able to mine extraterrestrial resources.

And it's a civilization with a long history, more than a million years of history.

However, since the invention of controlled nuclear fusion technology, this civilization has gradually lost its momentum. As for the invention of controlled nuclear fusion, it may have been more than 900,000 years ago...... This is the case with the regular civilization of the Fallen, which, after a period of rapid progress, has been in a state of stagnation for a long time, and the whole population is obsessed with the development of pseudoscience.

The so-called pseudoscience, that is, the discipline in which some fundamental principles are difficult to explain, or simply wrong, but many people want to believe.

Lower-end pseudosciences include empiricism such as perpetual motion machines, bugs appearing out of thin air, and eggs and milk not being mixed together; The high-end ones include quantum mysticism, myocardial stem cells, N-rays, and other academic frauds made by well-known scholars.

If academic fraud is unexposed, and 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 will often be drowned in the vast sea of people's war because they have too little right to speak......

In fact, the technology of the first-level civilization is enough to meet the needs of the people, even if the development is slow, it is nothing, they have controllable nuclear fusion technology, the most basic artificial intelligence, primary medical materials, have a certain space development capacity, population growth is stagnant, food and clothing are not worried, in this situation where the productivity is far greater than the demand, what else is worth developing?

The so-called "scientific progress" is nothing more than an excuse fabricated to paralyze the minds of people at the bottom...... As long as this excuse remains, there will still be a small amount of class mobility, even if it relies on deceptive pseudoscience, which is better than no mobility 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 of it is a nearby gaseous planet, which is a nuclear fuel reservoir, and the other is naturally a surrounding red companion star......

This is not unusual, and there is no need to exploit every planet given the low rate of population growth. Why bother to occupy more territory that is not needed?

If there is no great interest, there is no need to do these things.

There are 26 hidden ruling families in civilization, and although the current governments of various countries appear to be democratically elected, there is always the manipulation of these 26 families behind them. They manipulate public opinion and capital, and the so-called president and prime minister are nothing more than spokesmen for capital.

Because it is difficult to inherit power, there is a big difference in the personal ability of each individual, and it is bad luck for an individual with inferior ability to inherit power.

As a result, these ruling families generally do not face the people directly. It's a clever choice.

But the inheritance of wealth is much simpler. After a long period of capital development, the vast majority of the property of the entire planet has been monopolized by these 26 families, coupled with the gradual cessation of technological progress, the various families that were originally fighting for life and death and hostile to each other have also become harmonious with each other......

The world is already peaceful, and productivity far exceeds demand, as long as each manages its own territory. The long-lost peace is happening on this planet. As long as public opinion is controlled, the 26 families will be able to rule this civilization forever.

Such a peaceful day seems to be able to go on for 100,000 years, millions of years.

Even, with the passage of time, the big families have become more enlightened under the struggle against each other, and have distributed a lot of their inexhaustible wealth to the people, low-rent housing, relief meals, basic social welfare systems, everything, life on this planet is very simple, as long as one person works hard, he can support a whole big family.

In the eyes of these rulers, these possessions themselves cannot be used up, and they can still be supported by the people, so why not?

Coupled with the abundance of electronic chemical hormones, it can bring the cheapest form of entertainment, so the overall happiness of the individuals of the Lenino civilization is ridiculously high, and the overall crime rate is also very low......

This is also the standard status quo of many sunken civilizations...... Whether it is the civilization of the sink or not has nothing to do with the happiness of the people.

"Ah, every time I come to this spaceport at Lagrange, I feel the power of the whole civilization! The power of collective cooperation is truly great that we have built such a huge space observation device! ”

"Yes, thousands of years ago, this spaceport at the Lagrange point was still in the planning stage, but now, in the hands of our generation, it is finally completed."

This spaceport was recently built by 26 families, and it can be regarded as the largest interstellar transportation transit station in this civilization.

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

"Praise technology, praise cooperation."

"Yes, the most important thing is cooperation."

They boarded a spaceship, headed to the red companion next door, and began to chat casually: "I heard that in recent years, the number of users of Class C electronic hormones has increased again, and the cycle of death once in a few hundred years is coming again...... Eventually, these populations will soon be eliminated and replaced with new ones. When I first heard about it, I thought they were pathetic......"

These intelligent beings resemble orangutans, with two hands and two legs, and a small amount of clothing on their bodies, suggesting that they have a similar sense of shame as humans. The concept of integrity can be linked to morality, so it is a species with the ability to empathize.

One of the Lenino made a shooting motion, "Pathetic? The cycle of death is self-inflicted...... I once came into contact with homeless people on the side of the road and asked them if they wanted to live in a better environment, or if they wanted to get a little electronic hormone every day. If they want to live in low-cost housing, I can contribute some money to support them. ”

"But the vast majority of homeless people choose electronic hormones! They say they do it voluntarily! ”

"So...... Choosing this kind of life has nothing to do with us, it's just that they brought it on themselves. ”

"Lord Orn, you are so merciful that you will pay attention to those homeless people."

"Hey, let's not talk about that, I'm looking forward to fighting bugs now, Amani, what new weapon has your family developed?"

"Of course, there is a sharp knife that rotates and vibrates at high speed, which can easily cut through the body of a bug, and an electromagnetic projectile, which we call a high-magnetic cannon...... Hehe, you'll know it when you get to the place anyway! ”
