After modifying the genetic motive, survival is no longer the first priority, and some other things, such as faith or a certain desire, become the first priority of life, which avoids the possibility of sinking. Mobile

But this raises another problem...... Nothing is perfect, and there are contradictions between the fifth-level civilizations.

"When there is a contradiction between different civilizations in the direction of their progress, these civilizations that are in conflict are likely to break out into the most dangerous war."

"Our first priority is to survive, and for this reason there will be all kinds of complex interests, and they don't mind giving their lives for their beliefs."

"So fundamentally, there is a big difference in the way they think. Can you understand me when I explain it this way? ”

These are things that humans can understand, of course. There are not many contradictions between civilizations below level four, including level four civilizations, due to the huge resources in the starry sky, most of them are ordinary civilizations, and they don't even have the ability to step into the starry sky, and there is not enough motivation to break out an interstellar war at all. Especially after reaching the level of a fourth-level civilization, with a planetary fortress and curvature technology, driving a planetary fortress, and squatting in a random corner of the galaxy, it is difficult for even a fifth-level civilization to find them.

Even, like human civilization, is the current level of technology enough? Of course it's enough!

With the current intelligent robot production system, the vast majority of people can live a free life without working, just like the humans in the cherry blossom world.

However, people don't dare!

Even if the quality of citizens has been greatly improved, they still dare not. Examples from various virtual worlds are living counter-examples, which have to be dissected and studied every few months. If people live too freely, without the slightest oppression of life, the vast majority of people will become waste. This is also the foundation of the new human civilization, which has various economic systems and civilization contribution systems.

On the other hand, most of the low-level interstellar civilizations of this kind are greedy for life and afraid of death, and after contradictions with each other, they will test and mediate with each other, and then conduct political negotiations and compromise with each other, so that war can not break out, and it is better not to break out of war.

If communication is far simpler than destroying the other party, as much as possible, the general has become the basic logical chain.

On the contrary, civilizations above the fifth level, due to the purity of thinking, all kinds of rory's verbosity and irrelevant things have been abandoned, and it is easier to break out a war of extermination that destroys the world and the world.

As long as there is a huge conflict of thoughts, "please die" is the best choice, in the case of ineffective mouths, the fifth-level civilization chooses to do it, and the fourth-level civilization will only move its mouth.

It's horrible!

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, no wonder there were so many low-level interstellar civilizations that had gathered in the trading market for a long time. On the one hand, with exchanges, technology can indeed develop more rapidly; On the other hand, it is the safest place to shelter......

The Huantai civilization is only a fourth-level civilization, but the amoeba civilization behind it is a sixth-level ...... Although it is possible that the fifth-level civilization does not put "survival" in the first place, it does not mean that they are not rational.

Of course, after some discussion, people generally feel that the conflict between the five levels of civilization cannot be all-round, and there will be compromises between them. Self-regulation is a rather esoteric discipline, and the current wisdom of human beings can only glimpse a small corner.

Otherwise, the universe would not be what it is as it is now.

The belief of a high-level civilization should not be a compulsory religious belief, but a more pure goal, such as the pursuit of scientific and technological progress, maintaining the strength of civilization, and even "liberating the oppression of the whole universe" and other seemingly very strange things, these beliefs will be written into the genes and become the noble meaning of life.

"I think it's very likely that the fifth-level civilization with a great tendency to destroy has been wiped out in tens of billions of years, and the rest are probably civilizations with relatively peaceful ideologies. Similar to Gaia civilization and Hicks civilization. ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said: "This kind of belief may not be an illusory goal such as 'scientific and technological progress', these too empty directions are likely to lead human behavior patterns into a dead end." Human wisdom is limited, and if you can't see the goal, you don't know how to work hard. ”

"In fact, there was a time in the history of mankind when human beings did have a very lofty goal, and they were willing to fight for this goal for life, and their will to fight was strong and strong."

So, what is this time period?

World war ii.

The soldiers sang high songs, lined up in columns, and generously marched towards death, their anger burning the sky like a fire.

Zhang Yuan has experienced all kinds of virtual worlds, and the flashes of human nature will completely explode in some special eras.

But it's a pity......

That world, in the end, was a dark and lonely world, where the Red regime eventually collapsed and everything returned to its original state.

After all, flashes are just flashes, they can't replace the sun, and in the end it's as if nothing happened.

"If you take the sparkle that once flashed and ignited it into a real star...... How powerful such a civilization must be! I seem to be able to imagine what a real fifth-level civilization would be like! ”

Listening to Zhang Yuan's story, some of the same returnees showed thoughtful expressions, and some of the work partners understood the whole meaning, but it was difficult to really feel what that high-pitched emotion was like.

"In times of war...... Yes, even in the years after World War II, the faith was still strong. ”

"But how can this ideology be maintained for a long time, and even rooted in the genes?"

I can't tell, it's really hard to describe through words, Zhang Yuan shook his head, and after thinking about it, he gave up the description of this aspect.

These young people will only understand if they have truly experienced a similar era in the virtual world. Words alone describe "they are great" and "they have sacrificed" are of little use.

To put it bluntly, the impact of the times on human beings is huge, and it is difficult to feel the magnificence of the waves that have happened in the past without experiencing that kind of environment, and it is also difficult to burn the real flame.

On the other hand, what about the sixth-level civilization after the fifth-level civilization? This question is brewing in everyone's heart.

In the end, Minister Chen Mu, who was still standing at the forefront, said: "This information is indeed very important, and it is even related to our future development direction. However, a fifth-level civilization is still too far away for us...... There's no need to worry too much about it. Sixth-level civilization is even more distant. ”

"Our civilization continues to develop, and its potential is far from exhausted."

"Regarding the follow-up philosophical tree, the self-regulation system, is a big project, and it may be more complex than the technology tree."

Zhang Yuan also nodded, in fact, each different ideology has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is bound to be irrational to blindly revise the thinking patterns of the entire race before figuring out the state.

Zhao Qingfeng patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder and said softly, "...... I've been through a similar world, and that spirit is beautiful, but it's also very cruel, but it can only be preserved during a special period of time. ”

"The landslide after the peak, it's just too fast, too fast. It is indeed hard to imagine what a civilization would eventually develop into if all its citizens had maintained a simple fighting spirit......"

Zhang Yuan sat down from his seat again, nodded, and took a small sip of water: "Level 5 civilization...... It's also good to have a way forward. I'm curious, what kind of sixth-level civilization it is......"
