The Crab Cluster, located 30,000 light-years from the spatial coordinates of Sakuno. A timeline that forked 7823 years ago.

That cluster has a large number of stars, rich celestial resources.

Chenhe civilization and bell civilization, after moving towards the starry sky, it is inevitable to explore some rich areas where materials are concentrated.

[After any advanced civilization has the ability to explore the starry sky, it is not easy to explore the deep space universe, and the key exploration must be a place where materials gather. It's like being a business tycoon 100% running towards a five-star hotel or a golf course. And the poor civilization on the ordinary yellow dwarf in the cantilever of the galaxy mutters the 'Fermi paradox', which is like nesting in an unfinished building, looking at the empty streets, feeling that the economy is in the Great Depression, and he is the richest. 】

For that star cluster, it is possible to accept the influence of the three star civilizations on this side of the solar system at the same time, and then have an interactive impact. Compared to the planetary-level civilization on the ordinary spiral arm, it is easier to receive the information of advanced civilization.

In the universe, though, the ordinary has the benefits of the ordinary. In a region that is of common concern to advanced civilizations, in addition to prosperity, there is more chaos caused by the conflict of civilizations and cultures.

For example, although the Chenhe civilization and the bell civilization are both human races, they have many similar habits in ancient cultures, and even in other regions, they are mainly cooperative, but the probability of this kind of star cluster region opposing is very large.

One is based on the Earth Star and the other is based on the Wind Star, and the development history of the two sides is completely different. For example, the Wind Star was very rich in nuclear resources back then, and it was the pride of culture to focus on defeating the aristocracy with nuclear machinery; On the Earth Star, it is proud of the record of "leading compatriots and eliminating aliens".

After the rise of the bell civilization, in the past two or three hundred thousand years, the Chenhe civilization has been pulling each other's braids more and more due to the problem of civilization route.

In addition to the Chenhe civilization and the bell civilization, the earlier dragon heart civilization, which originated in the same solar system and was earlier, left a greater influence in this star cluster.

So.

This star cluster is home to three advanced civilizations. Neither of them backs down, constantly trying to correct their influence in the cluster, but this also makes them constantly revise their own influence.

This is a bloodless war between the star civilizations, and both sides are quite insistent on their own ideas and culture, well, so much so that they have insisted on exchanges for tens of thousands of years and have adhered to their own characteristic development routes, insisting on their reluctance to merge with each other.

And merging means dying.

According to the information of the Chenhe civilization, the dragon heart civilization has been merged over a million years. So they are the civilization of the same race.

This is the war of the star civilization, which has been in conflict with each other for a long, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, on thousands of planets, tens of thousands of planets. Forcing the opposing celestial intelligence to recognize their own ideology.

Physical destruction? No, the purpose of such a war is not destruction.

Only one celestial-level wisdom falls to oneself is the result of the battle, and a celestial-level wisdom falls? That's a situation that is circumvented between the various star civilizations.

……

The topic comes back to the present.

The reality of the Hui Crab Cluster, there are a million stars here.

But the zone of contention is concentrated in the center. That is, 20,000 stars, divided into a core and six claws. There are 8,000 stars in the core and 1,000 to 3,000 stars in the six paws.

Each star is quite close to each other, and the movement between the stars creates areas of gravitational change. If the natural planets were in it, they would have collided violently and then fallen into the stars. The big planets here, on the other hand, move in an equilibrium zone between the stars.

[Every major planet here is a "wandering earth.] But the asteroid wanderer does not rely on the engine that ejects the stream of particles. 】

The distance between the stars is already very close, and when the large planets orbit each star, the orbit is not a perfect circle like the solar system, but an ellipse.

That is, when the ellipse of star A rotates and moves from perihelion to aphelion, it just encounters the gravitational edge of another star, and as long as the orbit is slightly farther outward, it can be captured by star B.

Here, how to make the orbit "a little farther", there is the energy to jump out?

The answer is extracted from the energy of rotation. As long as the rotation energy of the large planet loses a little, the revolution will be accelerated. In the same way, as long as the rotation of a large planet is increased, it can also absorb the gravitational potential energy of the star when it captures the planet.

How do you do it all?

The Star Civilization maintains a circulation control system within the Earth's mantle. Sub-civilizations on the surface injected hydrogen into them through huge deep wells, speeding up nuclear reactions and allowing their entire mantle to flow a little faster.

Of course, this internal reaction mechanism is controlled by the mantle system left by the star civilization, and the planets will automatically change their orbits hundreds of years or thousands of years in advance after determining that they may intersect with the gravitational forces of other stars.

It has the ability to automatically avoid driving. If a surface sub-civilization wants to adjust to another orbit, it only needs to input enough energy. It's like cooling your room in the summer, you just press the remote control button and don't care about anything else.

Of course, if enough energy is not fed, then that energy will be released in the form of a large earthquake, and then avoid the best orbit and retreat into the icy area.

The speed at which such planets jump between stars is infrequent. In one or two thousand years, the most "green tea" planets in this star cluster have only changed stars six times at most.

The Celestial Journey is about to arrive in the Talon III region of the Cluster region.

There are 274 massive rocky planets, most of which revolve around their own stars and enjoy the Eternal Era.

And there are also a large number of dwarf planetary bodies of the Ceres size wandering in the vast nebula.

And there are some special forms of human society on these wandering stars. Their intrusion will create some interstellar crises.

In the light bridge.

While the orbit of the planet was carefully researched, the optical bridge system appeared coldly.

System: "You love fighting. ”

Zhou You was taken aback, clutched his chest and said, "Damn, scared me to death, eh, aren't you leaving?" ”

System: "I've always been there." Answer my question. ”

Zhou You took a deep breath and asked, "Can I not study?" ”

System: "No, you're a smart seed." ”

Zhou You asked again: "Can I not work?" ”

System: "No, you are a member of civilization. ”

Zhou You nodded: "That's right." Learn to work for the sake of struggle, always ready. ”

Three seconds later.

Zhou You paused and asked, "Hey, are you there?" ”

System: "It's always been there." ”

Zhou You: "Why don't you speak?" ”

System: "Nothing to say. ”

Zeyou continued to look at the inside of the Hui Crab Cluster.

The bells, the Chenhe, and the dragon-hearted civilization have a general view of wisdom. However, each of the three has its own unique views on the understanding of wisdom. It is difficult to fully explain where the conflict between the three is, in short, in special circumstances, the focus of the three is different.

Chenhe Civilization: Sub-contract Rong. Specifically, it means that civilizations in different regions will continue to divide different peoples, but with the development of mutual exchanges, they will move towards integration.

Dragonheart Civilization: Order Competition. Civilizations inevitably diverge, maintain a clear sequence, and maintain fair competition.

Bell Civilization: Right Priority. Backwardness cannot be insisted on being correct, and there is no way to be helped. If the advanced cannot be enlightened, it will inevitably decline.

All three of the above situations are true, but in terms of priority in special cases, conflicts are likely to arise.

The cultural merits of a civilization can compensate for the disadvantages of a nation. Cultures and civilizations are often compatible, a fitting suit.

If a civilization indiscriminately denies its own roots and applies the superior culture of another civilization, not only will it not make its advantages obvious, but it will also expose its weaknesses.

……

For example, the 'harmony is precious' mentality in the East on Earth is an advantage over the 'zero-sum mentality' in the West.

However, the advantage of the East is closely integrated with the 'herd habit', and it can even be said that it is a cultural patch specially designed for the "herd habit".

Look at the excitement, take advantage of the crowd, and so on. Anyway, it is not a loss to follow the public, on the other hand, it is also unassertive.

Harmony is precious, and it can bring together constructive thinking from all sides.

If there is no "harmony is precious", and at the same time inherit the herd mentality, it is a carnival of exiles and fools, which is not uncommon in history.

In contrast, the 'zero-sum' pirate mentality is quite assertive, and if you take one bite, I must eat one less." No, Western street gangsters have completely inherited this cultural shortcoming, and they have no concept of forgiving and forgiving people at all.

But the counterpart to zero-sum thinking is perspective observation in Western philosophical thought. The advantage of 'wanting to grasp the essence' is lacking in Confucian philosophy. (Mohist philosophy is declining too early.) )

Under this kind of philosophical thinking, we can calculate how many bites I eat and how many bites you take, and push the conflict point of zero-sum thinking back. Look for calculation points in precision.

Can individuals and groups inherit the virtues of both cultures and then discard the dross?

Culture has always been a group symbol. For small groups and individuals, it takes ten years to learn well, and one moment to learn badly.

Cultural progress can only be summed up and refined by the intellectual class that has not detached itself from the masses.

Thinking of themselves as elites and running outside alone, it is difficult for the next generation to get in touch with the merits of the mass elite opposite, and at the same time it is difficult to maintain their own merit culture.

Therefore, many diligent Chinese went overseas, only to find that the next generation has both zero-sum thinking and Oriental conformity, and is bloody in Chinatown!

……

The three star civilizations converge here in the Hui Crab Star Cluster, and a similar situation has occurred in the following sub-civilizations.

The moral system of the three star civilizations, and the sub-civilizations below think that they are all hypocritical, as long as they have enough strength, they will shout such beautiful slogans. Because they are mortals, they can only fight each other under the gaze of the gods.

So—

The area of the Hui Crab Cluster, the so-called 'characteristics' of the three major civilizations now, is actually the shame of the three major civilizations.

Features left over from the Dragon's Heart civilization: Dragonheart, which is an energy source from the Star of the Gods, ranging in volume from buttons to the size of a basketball. Under the confinement of an energy magnetic field, lead, gold, deuterium, and lithium can be injected. can make the dragon's heart radiate energy. Docking on the circuit and inputting electrical energy from one end of the dragon's heart, this allowed the sub-civilization to master the miniaturized energy system in advance.

The size of a softball, it can radiate hundreds or even thousands of times more energy for the energy supply of tanks and warplanes.

If it is the size of a basketball, it can release thousands or tens of thousands of times more energy for fleet generator sets.

Dragonhearts are capable of proliferating. This data-based energy sphere can split into small dragon hearts. As a result, this very useful technology cannot be banned at all, and it has directly spread to the planets of the Hui Crab Cluster, which is the most far-reaching technology system in this star cluster.

The culture of the dragon heart civilization is a competition of order, and if this kind of cultural order is strictly observed, the dragon heart matches people with sufficient qualifications, which is a benign promotion.

However, the culture of the sub-civilization of Chenhe and the bell civilization does not have such a profound order sequence culture. The result......

Now that Chenhe and the bell have been civilized, facing the lower civilization that has mastered the dragon's heart, his face is full of black lines, "Reactor nuclear reactor? Is it still meaningful to build fighter jets and train talent chains? ”

……

The characteristic left over from the Chenhe civilization is: artificial human servants.

This is the origin of the sea human spirit suit, as well as the origin of the war maker.

The core historical area of the Bell Civilization, the artificial organ route, was eventually abolished because there were too few people walking. But the Chenhe civilization really came to pass back then.

Taking the history of Yunchen in the upper reaches of the bell civilization as an example, it is a real integration of various ethnic groups. The multiple races are retaining their own life forms, and they are also blending into a unified people through artificial bodies of common standards.

But sub-civilizations do not have this kind of awareness. It's the real minions.

When Longxin Civilization saw the problem created by science and technology in Chenhe Civilization, it sneered "hehe". As for the bell civilization, it is almost to scold the mother of the culture of the Chenhe civilization.

Looking back on the history of the bell civilization: the war maker culture of the sea human beings has made the bell civilization consciously take a lot of detours.

The main time zone of the bell (the historical area where the stars are successfully controlled). In the first millennium when the bell rang, the human race that developed artificial organs was still the majority at first. But after the first 10,000 years, the human beings who are still reborn are already the people who took the precise control of the body back then.

In other words, a large number of human wills were directly extinct on the road of artificial organs. In the era of star civilization, there is no shortage of anything, but there is a shortage of people. Strictly speaking, 99% of the individuals in the current bell civilization are derived from the regeneration of human will that has been handed down after the bell rings.

[Just like after the industrial age: 99% of the ancestors were the nobles of the slave era, as for the masses at that time, the amount was ....... The current generation is reluctant to engage in survivorship probability, but in reality everyone is a survivor. 】

Bell Civilization Resentment: If there was no artificial organ back then, most people would have taken the path of regeneration, and we are here today, and there will be at least dozens of times more of each lineage!

Therefore, it is extremely sad that the bell civilization now sees the artificial human servants of the lower civilization. This is the biggest difference between the bell civilization and the Chenhe civilization, but the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.

Characteristics of the Bell Civilization: the lineage, in all corners of the star cluster; Generals, the Great Wall, the Seal of Quan, and the three major professional departments are popular here.

The bell civilization is consciously fine, but there is a big problem here.

Social progress is the same as economic development. The economy needs to absorb cash flow. If the bank raises interest rates, everyone will use the money to save, and the stock market will definitely fall.

In the same way, social progress needs to absorb the hard work of all people.

Any path that detachs individuals from social cooperation, but is rewarding, will absorb too much energy from the elites and reduce the total amount of thought that the intellectual class will put into society. - In short, for civilization, the energy of the elite must be invested in the masses, not in the system of individual promotion.

Longxin and Chenhe civilization: "Your professional system is dedicated to creating nobles, okay, how did your civilization develop?" ”

The bell's civilized response: "With an open vision, those who are strong will be able to cleanse all evil." ”

See this.

Zhou You touched the back of his head, raised his fist, and commented hard in the light bridge space: "That's right." ”

At this time, the speed of the light bridge seemed to slow down suddenly, and the original glowing lines gradually shortened, and now the appearance of the starry sky was slightly visible, and the light bridge system: "Xiao Zhouyou, what did you say 'yes'?" ”

Zhou You came back to his senses and rolled his eyes: "I mean, the enlightened vision of civilization is right!" ”
