The pursuit of endless surprises

Zhang Yuan smiled nonchalantly: "Horror, what's so scary? Our virtual technology can turn a living person into a vegetative state, and can even create a pseudo-person who has no consciousness but can jump around! This is even more terrifying! "

The diplomat continued: "Their bionics technology is quite powerful, and they are also pursuing better intelligence technology and are willing to give a good price. We can exchange some for it."

"They like the assistive brain technology very much, and we sold it for a good price. If they have extra senses... I don't know if they can afford it..."

"Maybe they don't have enough amoeba points...it's a pity!"

"What's a pity? You didn't even ask, so what's the pity? At least the two parties have concluded a business, and it would be good if more deals were concluded." Zhang Yuan said angrily, "This way of working It's not advisable. Don't think that the other party has no money just because it has a third-level civilization!"

"The original Toss civilization was also a third-level civilization, but they were very rich. We humans were penniless at the time, and we were not despised by the trading market."

"It's not what you think...the papers with extra colors have already been sold by us, and we also signed some confidentiality agreements." The man quickly explained: "Either we break the contract directly and secretly trade with the civilizations of the hemisphere. Or we can only sell them papers on further magnetic field sensing."

"And the price of magnetic field sensing is even higher...at least six or seven thousand amoeba points, right? Or even more than ten thousand!"

"Is this so..."

When it comes to magnetic field sensing, Zhang Yuan doesn't really want to sell it. This is the core technology of mankind. It is not an exaggeration to say that it directly improves the racial value of the entire human civilization!

It would not be impossible if he just broke the contract and sold the paper with "extra colors" again... He was evaluating the risks in this regard, and finally sighed.

"Forget it for now... I'll see if there's a chance later."

The purpose of an agreement is to be broken. But now humans are not willing to cause trouble for no reason.

"applaud!"

The warm snapping sound rang in my ears again.

Encountering this weird third-level civilization, Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say. He just looked at the clapping "robot" on the screen with curiosity...

Why is the other person like this? It always feels a bit weird, in sharp contrast to the rigid, robot-like Spinhaman civilization.

Both are in robot mode, and they both look weird...one is too lively, and is only a third-level civilization, and the other is extremely dull, but is a fifth-level civilization.

Every civilization has its own unique stories and encounters. How interesting it would be to understand the "stories" that have happened in these universes!

He suddenly had a hunch that this motive might be a pretty good springboard for becoming a fifth-level civilization!

Level five civilization must have a firm and practical goal.

This goal cannot be illusory or something too empty like "the pursuit of progress." Human beings cannot write this kind of goal into their genes.

This kind of goal must be real and can be written into genes. It must be the entire pursuit process and a certain action.

Just like, if someone wants to pursue the ultimate goal of happiness, how to achieve this goal?

Some people think that making money is very happy, and "making money" brings pleasure, and this action can be written into genes. Some people think that love is very happy, and the action of having love can also be written into genes.

But the abstract result of "happiness" cannot be written into genes, because there are too many processes to achieve this result, and it is impossible for humans to carry out such a complex genetic philosophy.

"... Can the pursuit of endless surprises and traversing the stories of civilizations in the universe become a noble goal for mankind?" Zhang Yuan frowned and thought hard.

How difficult it is to establish a new genetic regulation system...it seems infinitely complicated when you think about it.

It is actually unreliable to increase human curiosity without limit. It will only make people irritable and not want to do anything.

Learning is a very boring thing. Even with the help of auxiliary brains to improve intelligence, humans still have to train repeatedly to master knowledge.

So randomly modifying genes to make people become extremely curious is likely to become extremely bad. It seems that a person's curiosity has increased, but in the end he doesn't even want to study anymore, he just wants to pursue novelty... In this way It seems pointless to come.

People's ultimate goal is to guide the final result of "endless progress" through a "concrete action".

The consequences of this action are extremely complex and not as logically complete as the "survival and reproduction" system. Some complex programming may be required to standardize new actions. At present, humans do not have a complete set of theories to study these things.

At this time, the diplomat of the hemispheric civilization spoke again: "Dear new human civilization... Our civilization is only five thousand years old from being promoted to the third level civilization, and there is still a certain amount of room for development. Complete this deal. After that, we will leave here. If your civilization has technology related to improving intelligence, you can negotiate with us during this period."

"Although this Dyson ball is good, the murky water inside it is no longer something that a third-level civilization can participate in..."

"The auxiliary brain provided by your civilization is really suitable for my civilization! Maybe we both have a lot in common! Applause!"

The guy on the opposite side of the video started clapping to himself again, as if to express his wisdom, and even started to introduce himself and invite new human civilization to visit!

It was the first time that a third-level civilization invited a fourth-level civilization to visit.

Why is this so?

The first is that the other party may have some trump cards, or really like the technology provided by humans.

Second, Zhang Yuan feels that it is very likely that this civilization removed most of the body and only retained one brain before thoroughly understanding the mechanism of genetic philosophy, so that their behavioral philosophy seems a bit weird. .

Many of the body's mood hormone regulations are not entirely issued by the brain.

In this way, complete bionic transformation will produce many defects.

Therefore, in order to keep their thinking stable, they cleverly designed a series of programs to replace normal emotions. For example, when they applaud, they express "happy" and so on.

Of course, people don't know whether there are any disadvantages in doing so.

What a strange civilization!

Human beings may never be able to figure out what is going on with the other party. This makes Zhang Yuan quite uncomfortable. He is a very curious person and he really wants to pay a visit...

Zhang Yuan thought of this, turned around and said: "Old Yang, when we have time in the future, maybe we can visit this hemisphere civilization and communicate with them. Although they are only a third-level civilization, they have castrated their own hormone regulation function, and finally How social forms evolve is of considerable research value."

"You mean...research on the genetic philosophy mechanism required to advance to level five civilization?" Lao Yang frowned, understanding what Zhang Yuan meant.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan replied.

Lao Yang shook his head again: "This may be difficult. How can the two sides have the trust to exchange culture and history? Unless we plunder each other's things through war..."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "It's negotiable... They invited us, so they probably didn't do it out of nowhere. Maybe they saw somewhere that we are not that type of civilization that is more aggressive."

"Oh, indeed, we have never been a civilization developed through plunder! Haha!"
