The 32nd century seems to be spent in the calm sea breeze and waves, the undercurrent hidden behind the human world is not so easy to find, the tide of civilization is dry, it is like the fall of the galactic empire in the famous science fiction novel "Base", if there is really historical psychology in the world, then only a character like Harry Shelton can notice and try to shorten the time.

One day at the end of the 32nd century, Cao Chuan's life seemed to return to peace, and although the rules in his mind simulated the same technology that was ahead of the times, it would not affect his normal life.

This is a dream of human beings conquering the sea of stars, if this sea is assumed to be in the Milky Way, 100,000 planets can indeed be called a vast ocean, boundless, but looking at the higher world, from the highest point of the universe, the star-like endless galaxy is their ultimate pursuit.

Even so, human life is indeed ahead of the curve, science fiction, abundance, no hunger, little crime, new forms of culture are constantly emerging, new isms and religions are constantly emerging, the kaleidoscope of historical heritage from 6,000 years ago to the present, and surreal new cultures developed by the unknown and aliens.

"I wonder when most people will realize the threat of a dry civilization? Or is it like a frog in warm water, which completely sank before it could react? ”

Cao Chuan asked, worrying that the measures they had hoped for to deal with the tide of civilization were not strong enough.

The easiest to implement is undoubtedly more strict control, about the 80s of the 32nd century, the initial strict management measures for the dry tide of civilization were introduced, starting from the star government, and then to every city, the most obvious is to increase the intensity of education and fighting crime, education makes everyone's three views more solid, especially at the ideological level, it is difficult to be eroded by the dry tide of civilization and degenerate, crime is the way to eliminate the signs of crisis, relatively speaking, these two measures can be said to be justified.

As for others, such as restricting the flow of immigrants to the central area, it is not a direct means of controlling the tide of civilization, and even if it is restricted, the tide of civilization will still manifest itself in other situations.

In the past 20 years, in general, the system has always been implemented, and from the trend alone, the tide of civilization has not been hit, but has become more ferocious, and the reason is that the educated people, because they always have to return to society, face the surrounding groups, their education will be lost, integrated into it, and inevitably fall into sinking.

At the end of the 32nd century, the Church of Scientology hoped to try to try criminals to transform the planet was completed, and about 1 million life prisoners entered the planet to be transformed after signing special terms, but it did not cause too much resistance from the people.

Compared with the control and constraints of the system, the transformation of the planet by criminals is more thorough, and all mortals will be completely washed of their memories, replaced by virtual memories, and written into the most extreme three views that almost reach the level of good people and saints.

Despite this, the prisoners are still not free, and they only enjoy the right to live freely on the planet, and the temple of Scientology is built on the planet, and the Church troops are responsible for security, and the priests continue to observe the behavior of the reformed prisoners to confirm the feasibility of the reform plan.

After 10 years of observation, it turned out that after the prisoners were reformed, they successfully resisted the invasion of civilization, and the entire planet simply became the planet with the best moral level and social atmosphere in the territory of the East Galaxy Company.

Scientology then conducted a follow-up experiment, briefly releasing a murderer who had been confirmed to have been forgiven by the victim's family to a planet most affected by the tide of civilization.

After another five years of observation, they were disappointed that even if they had changed their minds and had done good things for 10 years, they had no idea what the crime was.

He even went so far as to deny the error of his actions, believing that the world was the way it was, and that he was just following the rules of the world.

Some might say that he was an example, but Scientology then released four prisoners and recovered the first prisoner to be fully brainwashed again.

As a result, the performance of these four prisoners is still disappointing, and after a period of time, they have been assimilated by society, filled with all kinds of vices, strange thoughts, opposing everything, rejecting everything, moral corruption, ignorance, ignorance.

From this point of view, although the brainwashing program is useful, if it cannot be implemented to all mankind, those who have been brainwashed will still be infected again with the passage of time.

Unless they have enough influence, then they will be relatively little affected by or offset the effects of the decline of civilization, or a few stubborn and conservative people, whose three views will never change from birth to death, like machines that have been built to be purposed.

So that's the conclusion of Scientology? The internal transformation solution still does not seem to be enough to completely solve the problem, and the ultimate solution still points to complete subversion. ”

The failure of the two paths means that there are fewer and fewer roads that can be followed, and the only thing left is the plan that Cao Chuan mentioned at the beginning to increase the development of the outside world, and gradually resolve the threat of the dry tide of civilization through the transfer of internal contradictions.

At this moment, the influence of the dry tide of civilization is gradually fermenting, and there are various statistics against the trend of the times such as the decline in the education level and the deepening of the degree of information isolation in some areas.

The decline in education level means that human beings are subjectively unwilling to accept the extremely easy and inexpensive way of education by writing memories, and they have become more ignorant; The increased degree of information blockade means that the East Galaxy Company's ability to control the star government and city government is weakened, and it is easier to be autonomous, and many events can be covered up at a very small cost without being noticed, and the people no longer care about the big things that happen at the edge of the galaxy, but only talk about the small things around them.

This is even more serious than a few decades ago when the tide of civilization first appeared, not only hindering the development of civilization, but also causing civilization to decline, even if the central region has completed the development of 100,000 planets, looking at the entire human world, the essence is weakening.

"Mr. Advisor." Masim's voice rang out, "After planning, the preliminary plan for the galaxy exploration plan, including the details, has been completed. (To be continued.) )
