Chapter 264
These two interstellar civilizations are undoubtedly very powerful civilizations. Whether they have mastered the means of sailing at speeds of light is not easy to say for the time being, but in terms of their behavior, they are far stronger than humans. .
Because they can do interstellar voyage, interstellar trade!
Deep space navigation is not a simple matter, and humans have not yet been able to navigate freely.
Spaceships like Earth Era and Golden Sun require massive social resources to be built, and they are usually spent but never returned trips, and they are scrapped after one flight.
"First analyze the first interstellar civilization encountered by the Gliese civilization. The motivation of this civilization... is likely to be well-intentioned."
Zhang Yuan sent it on the screen A hypothetical picture: "A scientific research spaceship passed by this planet and found this group of lazy indigenous creatures. You can leave them alone or destroy them. Anyway, there are many choices... So on a whim, kindly They even expected that the Gliese civilization would be stuck by the key point of'electricity', so they called it in advance."
"I think the motivation is very simple, that is, Pleasure or compassion from deep in one's heart. Just like when a human encounters an ant, he gives a bit of biscuits when he is in a good mood. Seeing the hard work of the ant and moving the biscuits, he will feel very happy in his heart."
Captain Zhao asked: "However, ants and Gliese civilization are fundamentally different, no matter how powerful the ant is, it is zero, and impossible poses any threat to itself; but Gliese civilization has wisdom, ranging from 0 to 1. After the qualitative change, you can add more 0s, there are thousands of possibilities, is there really such a kind civilization?"
Zhang Yuan seriously replied: "Captain Zhao, the universe, the galaxy, so huge The site of Earth is not a remote country like Earth. There are too many vacant sites and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. There is no need to compete for resources like Earth does."
"If you are in Earth, Humans have discovered a kind of intelligent monkeys. Humans will indeed panic and will catch them, study them, and even exterminate them..."
"But in the universe, intelligent life is just commonplace , Maybe it can reach a one-thousandth or even one-hundredth probability! If, what I said is, if there are 10 million kinds of intelligent life in the Milky Way alone, you are always impossible to panic so much that all intelligent life will be arrested and killed. Drop it?"
" And from the primordial era to Interstellar Era, and then to a more powerful civilization, there are still many barriers to be passed. The overwhelming majority civilization is mediocre, and you simply don’t need to worry about anything... …Maybe there are some civilizations who like to spread the sparks of wisdom everywhere?"
This view was quickly agreed upon.
No matter what kind of ideology the first interstellar civilization was, there is indeed a good faith probability.
I really can’t think of their ill intentions.
Next is the behavior analysis of the second interstellar civilization.
This civilization is more complicated, and there are more historical records about this aspect.
Zhang Yuan asked: "If the second interstellar civilization knows clearly that giving away 13 universal factories will cause the Gliese civilization to enter its current state of degeneration. Then, the most important point... why are they Do you want to do this? What's your motivation?"
Captain Zhao shook the head: "Probably, they don’t know. No one can predict. After tens of thousands of years, the Gliese civilization suddenly became complete. Civilization taking drugs, this is basically impossible to predict...Even if our new civilization historiography develops for 10,000 years, it will be impossible to predict accurately."
Li Zhendong thought and did not speak until At this time, he said: "Captain, even if you don’t use drugs, the oligarchy brought by the universal factory is not a very good political system, oligarchy..."
"Or, this civilization is deployed Happiness is not the only trap, there are other hidden traps, but Gliese civilization happened to be knocked down by Happiness. In fact, it’s a bad intention!"
"I fell I don’t think so. Why do they do this?"
"Or, the first civilization likes to sow the sparks of wisdom, and the second civilization likes to kill the sparks everywhere."
"Why do you need that many things? Just kill them?"
Seeing everyone arguing noisily, Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "Everyone, don't think about that many, let Let's go back to the original transaction."
"The interstellar merchant used 13 universal factories and some power generation equipment to purchase the mathematics system of the Gliese civilization and a lot of art. "
"The value of mathematics knowledge is hard to say. The mathematics of Gliese civilization is indeed more advanced than our human beings. Perhaps it is very valuable. Or maybe the hierarchy of the universe is just ordinary... But art works. It’s a bit weird, even weird."
Zhang Yuan followed: "If you try to figure out the mind of this interstellar businessman with the most malicious idea, you will get a very strange and even evil conclusion... "
"Oh? What conclusion, let's hear it." Captain Zhao opened the mouth and said with great interest.
Zhang Yuan asked: "What do businessmen value most?"
"Of course...interests!"
"Do you think that facing a weak, If you can slaughter civilization at will, will interstellar merchants lose money? In the most common way of thinking, not sympathy is not pity."
"No, absolutely not!"
"So , This interstellar merchant, is very likely to make a lot of money in this transaction!" At this time, another deputy captain stood up and said: "A lot of money? So I gave it Their 13 universal factories? In fact, if you don’t give these things, just build some basic equipment, Gliese people can also develop."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, for Gliese As far as people are concerned, some of the most basic power generation equipment is already sufficient and will naturally develop slowly. The most indispensable thing in the universe is time. What is the difference between directly giving a universal factory and spoil things through excessive enthusiasm?"
"But think about it, everyone, what makes them profitable? The Gliese people provide only two things, mathematics and art."
Mathematics Knowledge? The knowledge accumulated over 100,000 years is indeed very great and full of fantastic ideas.
But even if the Gliese people are smart, they are also impossible to be the smartest species in the galaxy, let alone the oldest species. In terms of probability, there are civilizations that are older and smarter than them.
"In other words, the knowledge of mathematics is probably just some licking."
"...The only thing that can make money is the artwork accumulated over time. "
Zhang Yuan broadcasted a photo on the screen, showing the artistic sculpture of the Gliese people.
This inference is so weird that many people have no way to understand it.
The price of art stuff is mostly hyped up, and it is enough to make a hype within civilization, but can the trade between interstellar civilizations also be used?
Is it possible that interstellar civilizations still engage in hype and play finance?
This is going to heaven!
Zhang Yuan sighed, stretched out a finger, and another image appeared on the screen.
"Everyone, the facts are not what you think. As long as there is an unusually powerful civilization in the galaxy that likes these things, it is enough. Yes, as long as there is a powerful civilization, it only needs A..."
"This probability is not low!"
"And we cannot always look at the problem from our point of view. We are just a bunch of poor ghosts, and the poor can no longer be The poor kind, of course, is impossible to pursue excessive spiritual enjoyment... Even on Earth, art is a plaything among the rich. Can the rich and the poor pursue the same?"
Everyone laughed, well, what Zhang Yuan said is indeed reasonable. Maybe an interstellar civilization is too idle, and it has developed to its own upper limit, so it collects the art of divine symbolization in the entire universe... This kind of thing is not impossible!
