Revisiting the Gliese Civilization

  Zhang Yuan drove the curvature spacecraft and continued to drive forward for a certain distance. After careful inspection, he found that the nuclear fuel mining base near the gaseous planet was at a standstill. The fuel mining base was cleaned very clean, and all useful equipment was taken away.

  "It shows that the departure of this human branch was planned and not done in a hurry."

  After a series of calculations and analysis, Zhang Yuan discovered that there were traces of gravitational disorder in this planetary system, and some problems appeared in the original asteroid belt. disturb.

  He thought silently in his mind: "This kind of gravitational trace should be caused by the high gravitational force generated by cosmic strings, so that the orbits of some asteroids have changed slightly." "Did

  they move this planet away? "

  This fact can't help but make him a little surprised and a little happy.

  "It shows that the Earth Era Branch had a planetary fortress." "

  Based on these gravitational traces, it is difficult to estimate the specific time. It should have been a long time ago... As for the movement trajectory..." A

  simple estimate After a while, this planetary fortress should be heading towards Captan's star along the cosmic string.

  "Did the two human branches really merge?"

  To be on the safe side, Zhang Yuan planned to visit the Gliese pangolins living in Gliese 581g and ask where the original humans went.

  "At that time, there were also a group of pangolins left on the planet, preserving traditional culture. I don't know how they lived..." "

  As neighbors, these pangolins should be able to know something about it."

  With this idea, Zhang Yuan drove the spacecraft to the sky above Gliese 581g.

  Although he was a little excited, he still observed this planet very carefully. Zhang Yuan didn't know whether the pangolins and the humans stranded here got along well or whether there were any conflicts in the long period of time that followed.

  The combat capability of this warp spaceship is quite limited. The lasers and electromagnetic guns are both low-power types. The main way of fighting is through digital viruses. In addition, it is only one person. No matter how high the computing power is, it may not be able to handle it. ...

  Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan did not observe the artificial satellites above the planet's atmosphere, nor did he see many surface buildings.

  This discovery made him slightly disappointed.

  Since this planet is tidally locked, it is hot and cold at the same time, producing periodic storms. It is normal that there are no large surface buildings, but it is a bit disappointing that there are not even astronomical satellites. This shows that the Gliese civilization that remains here is likely to follow the same old path as before.

  Zhang Yuan waited in the air for several days, and finally waited for a calm day. He dropped a crawler reconnaissance robot at high altitude and then controlled it remotely through the VR system.

  There was a soft "crash" sound, the parachute opened, and the reconnaissance robot landed slowly.

  After successfully reaching the ground, the robot looked up at the eternal sunset hanging in the sky. When the plants on the ground were touched, they shrank back one after another, and even the insects hid deep underground.

  This familiar scene brought him a wonderful sense of familiarity.

  The tracked reconnaissance robot continued to move forward, encountering various simple animals and plants along the way. It seemed that the planet Gliese had never changed.

  It was like this millions of years ago, it was like this tens of thousands of years ago, and it is still like this now.

  Ahead is the entrance to an underground city. The Gliese pangolin living inside has discovered this unknown robot and is staring at him warily.

  Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these pangolins still living on his own planet.

  "Dear Gliese people, hello. I am your old friend, human being." The robot made a voice.

  "Human?!" These pangolins shouted loudly.

  "Sir, he said he was a human? Humans are back?"

  "Please wait a moment..."

  Soon senior leaders came to meet this robot. These pangolins kept looking at it with their dark eyes. But he didn't make any aggressive moves.

  Zhang Yuan observed the words and thought in his heart: "It seems that in the later time, humans and the Gliese people did not become enemies."

  It is normal to think about it carefully. The strength gap between the two sides is too big, and there is no need for humans to bully each other. The original humans also promised to return the planet to them intact and would no longer interfere with their lives.

  And these pangolins also know what human strength is, so they are polite now.

  For these new generations of pangolins, "human" is already a very unfamiliar term, but this term has been widely recorded in history. So at this moment, these pangolins were all looking at the robot, and then at the horizon, as if they wanted to see whether there was a spaceship floating in the sky.

  "Dear human friends, hello. Is there any special reason for you to come here?" These receptionists from Gliese Civilization were very civilized, and they swept the floor. This was their standard etiquette.

  Zhang Yuan said: "I just want to simply visit my former friends and see how your civilization is living and developing. I have no other intentions. I will leave soon."

  These pangolins discussed After a while, he still agreed to Zhang Yuan's request: "Dear human friends, please come this way! We welcome you."

  Since the robot's control radio waves are difficult to penetrate into the deep underground, Zhang Yuan did not go completely deep. He simply visited various facilities on the first floor of the Gliese Civilization, such as schools, museums, factories, etc., and surfed the Internet for a while, then did not continue.

  A very ordinary and common first-level civilization has almost stopped progressing.

  This is a very simple civilization with capitalism as the main body. This system was learned from humans.

  It worked well at first, but now it's backfired on the entire civilization.

  Capital has almost completely alienated culture. The oldest culture and art of the Gliese Civilization is really excellent and can make more advanced intelligent beings produce similar emotions.

  But now culture, music, and idols are all commodities used by capital to make money. They are boring, boring and ignorant.

  At the same time, capital has alienated the masses from their pursuit of developing productivity and enriching the country and strengthening the people to the point where they only pursue book assets. In addition, capital also alienates love, making love gradually move closer to capital.

  All the people have become spiritual capitalists and speak for capital. Every family is educating their children to go to big companies and worship capitalists instead of scientists.

  So, this civilization has come to an end.

  After visiting here, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

  The Gliese people have not overcome their innate agoraphobia, nor have they improved their inherent disadvantages of long dormant times and short waking hours; nor have they rushed to the stars and the sea; they still live in a small underground world, living a wealthy life. Ann's life.

  Even though they knew the past history, they still lived like this...

  No miracle happened.

  The only difference is that they lost the Universal Factory and developed most of the technology themselves, so they no longer take drugs.
