Hope it is bright

  This feeling is very complicated, just like in the 20th century, when the Xia State was still very weak, an intellectual got an opportunity to study abroad. He clearly knew that this kind of opportunity would most likely be beneficial to his future in life, but he was still inexplicably anxious and unwilling to leave his familiar hometown...

  The new human civilization is also a young civilization, and this is the first time it has encountered such a situation. Although there is a smart and capable management team, it is still impossible to handle the situation with ease like other veteran fourth-level civilizations.

  To put it bluntly, this is a kind of habitual laziness.

  People are accustomed to staying in their familiar environment, doubting the sense of security and reliability. For most people, stepping out of their comfort zone is a very difficult choice.

  After taking this step, the two sides may be bound for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Human mathematics cannot predict the joint development of two civilizations for such a long time. It's hard to know what the final result will be...

  It's hard to decide…

  There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was a burst of discussion in the conference room.

  In the end, the discussion fell silent again, and no one took the lead in taking a stand.

  Zhang Yuan sighed and took the lead in initiating the alliance: "I agree with the alliance between the two parties."

  "As long as the hemispheric civilization completes the final puzzle, it does have the potential of a fifth-level civilization. Therefore, if the two sides really want to cooperate, they still have to get along with each other in a friendly manner. It is always right to be polite. We do not need to vigorously exploit a third-level civilization..."

  "As for the last piece of the puzzle, that is, after the sage is truly recreated, what exactly will the resurrected sage do? This is very important... extremely important!"

  "According to my guess, the purpose of this sage's resurrection is to use his own ability to recreate a new memory template that adapts to the times, and to iterate from generation to generation to achieve a permanent positive feedback loop."

  "If they can't complete the final puzzle, they will have no choice but to stop at level four civilization."

  "It is a very valuable opportunity to participate in the entire process of a third-level civilization reaching the sky in one step. Even if the hemispheric civilization does not complete the final puzzle, it can still bring us enough inspiration..."

  "Alas, the road to level five civilization is too long. Let's seize this opportunity."

  Zhang Yuan's "pursuit of endless surprises" has indeed been echoed by a small number of people. But most people have no clue at all, and they are simply unable to determine that the ultimate goal of human beings is for the so-called "surprise".

  too difficult.

  For most people, completely changing their thinking is a great terror!

  The things you liked yesterday suddenly don't like you today, and the things you cherished yesterday are regarded as dirt today. When a wife divorces her husband, the members of the small family are no longer relatives. A person's thinking has completely changed. In fact, it is no different from death. Isn't this a big terror, or what?

  "I agree with Zhang Yuan's point of view." Li Zhendong also sighed and said: "This road is really difficult. Even if we have discovered this road, we would not dare to take it forward."

  "Perhaps, the hemispheric civilization itself has not realized the complexity of becoming a level five civilization. It is just because of some disasters that it has this potential inexplicably."

  "Our civilization cannot copy this whole set of systems leading to level five civilization, but there are always things we can learn from. I missed this opportunity and I don't know where to find such a small probability event."

  "I agree, I agree with the alliance."

  After finishing speaking, everyone fell into silence again...

  It is indeed impossible for the current new humanity to learn the entire system of the hemispheric civilization...

  "Perhaps, we can split off a human branch and copy it?" Zhang Yuan had this idea in his mind.

  However, no matter how you think about it, the operability of this plan is very small.

  Most people will object.

  "I agree too." Mr. Zhao Qingfeng from the Engineering Department arrived.

  "Seconded!"

  The number of people agreeing to establish an alliance between the two sides gradually increased.

  Captain Ms. Feng said: "In this cooperation, we paid a small price and gained more benefits. If the other party cooperates sincerely, it will be a win-win situation. If the other party wants to deceive certain technologies and then escape, We can at least get a battle star and some of their technology..."

  "Actually, even if part of our technology is deceived, it will not be lost... In fact, there is not much loss."

  "What we are most worried about is actually the conflict between ideologies. However, hemispheric civilization is not a species accustomed to assimilating other civilizations. On the contrary, we humans actually have a certain degree of assimilation tendency..."

  Humans are indeed a highly biased species. In ancient times, human beings liked to stick together in groups and were hostile to others outside the group.

  This habit improved the chance of survival to a certain extent. As the times progressed, it transformed into nationalism and religiousism. People believed that those who were not of their own nation must be aliens, and those who did not believe in the same religion were enemies.

  In the industrial age, ideological struggles, including religious and popular conflicts, have never stopped.

  After entering the interstellar age, people came into contact with a large number of alien civilizations. Although this habit has changed slightly, it has not completely disappeared.

  It can be seen from those competitive games that human audiences will naturally gravitate towards the team of their own civilization. Even if this team is very weak and technically weak, the audience will still support it. Even if the audience curses and is furious with this team, they will still lean towards their own civilized team...

  However, the assimilation tendency of hemispheric civilizations is not very strong, much weaker than that of humans. They tend to be strong or off-beat teams that can bring fun...

  They focus more on fun than competition.

  This may be due to the influence of the "memory template", which has erased some of the biological instinctive tendency to stick together.

  This subtle gap between ideologies is reflected in all aspects of life. There is much worth studying, enough to write a paper of several hundred pages. A few words alone can only give a vague general idea.

  But this subtle difference is an important criterion for judging the potential of civilization. These details may even be the essential difference between level four and even level five civilizations!

  Captain Feng finally said: "Okay, let's think about it carefully and then vote!"

  In this way, after half an hour of discussion, the voting results came out. 86% of the scientific  council members chose to further cooperate with hemispheric civilizations.

  These people are elites and know the truth.

  With the conclusion of this vote, the direction of new human civilization seems to have opened up a new route and entered a new era.

  Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart. He did not expect that this journey would have such big twists and turns. They were originally looking for the Toss civilization, those large giant salamanders, to form an alliance. Unexpectedly, a hemispheric civilization appeared midway, and the result was better than expected.

  It's hard to tell whether it's light or dark...

  "Let's hope it's bright."
