Ideas about the future

  From an individual perspective, making money, gaining honor and status, entertainment, and reproduction are the main goals of human life.

  This type of goal is huge and chaotic, and everyone has their own ideas. In an isolated system, the entropy increase is spontaneous, making it difficult to form a long-term and sustained centripetal force.

  "...Cosmic governance is a very good way to form cohesion! Because the universe is so big, just one galaxy is enough for a fifth-level civilization to play for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years... After playing with the galaxy, it can also You can play with the Large Magellanic Cloud, Small Magellanic Cloud, Andromeda Galaxy, almost endlessly, so such a civilization will not fall!"

  "But cosmic governance is not the only way."

  "If a certain civilization transforms its ideology into a sharper one, it will easily conflict with other level five civilizations."

  "So what I mean is..."

  The concept of "endless surprises" was slowly conceived by Zhang Yuan on the spacecraft these days, that is, exploring "surprising events in the universe."

  Whether it is science or humanities and history, they are all "surprising events."

  This goal is huge and has similarities with "cosmic governance".

  There are endless new things in the universe, just the Milky Way, hundreds of billions of stars, the rise and fall of countless civilizations, heroes short of breath, beauties aging, or some beautiful astronomical landscapes...

  These interesting things are enough for humans to explore for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

  But to discover these interesting stories, current technology is far from enough. Even people's intentions may not be limited to the Milky Way, but the entire Virgo galaxy cluster, and even the entire universe!

  This means that we must advance in technology and achieve more long-term progress in order to achieve this goal.

  "So, through this goal, we can achieve the goal of continuous progress... What do you think?"

  Everyone present began to silently think about Zhang Yuan's point of view.

  Are humans willing to become such a civilization?

  Hard to say!

  Modifying the driving force of genes is not a trivial matter, it means a major change in a person's thinking! What you like now may not be liked in the future, and what you value now may no longer be valued in the future.

  It means that the new human civilization is likely to abandon everything currently and become a brand new civilization.

  The unknown is always scary, and this step is really as difficult as reaching the sky!

  Even if there is a ready-made answer in front of people that they can copy directly, humans may not dare to copy it.

  This is the gap, the gap between low-level interstellar civilization and high-level interstellar civilization.

  "In the face of real freedom, we seem to be hesitant..."

  Li Zhendong laughed strangely, "Then let it be like this, I am the first to agree, you can do whatever you want. If that time really comes, there is no need to transform everyone, a few people will be a civilization."

  "Those who are willing to be human beings should continue to be human beings, and those who want to continue to progress should be transformed. There is no need to force them."

  Zhang Yuan sighed and ignored him, "In short, the first step for us to leave here is to visit those civilizations that have tampered with part of their genetic philosophy, understand their way of life, and learn more about this knowledge."

  "For example, when this battle star was traded to our hemispheric civilization, they only retained one brain and removed a lot of hormone regulation... It is of great reference to us."

  "Based on these points, I still suggest that after developing the battle star, go out and see other worlds."

  When Zhang Yuan showed this grand blueprint to everyone, everyone was sweating and then fell into deep thought...

  Yes, human beings are already a level four civilization, and it's time to consider things further ahead.

  If you think that becoming a level four civilization means you can sit back and relax, that is a big mistake!

  No matter what, human beings should not stop progressing and need to beware of risks in this regard.

  Some scientists in this area have begun to think hard.

  Everyone discussed for a while, but did not come to a direct conclusion. Instead, they decided to set up a separate department in the Unreal Laboratory to study genetic philosophy. The main person in charge was Mr. Yamamoto Ichiro.

  As a senior scientific research talent who designed the underlying structure of the virtual world, Yamamoto Ichiro has a high awareness of the risks and importance of this aspect. Even if nothing can be found in the research, there should be no danger of losing control.

  Next, all high-level government officials basically reached a consensus.

  From the perspective of short-term goals, humans should first build their own battle stars and gain a certain degree of self-protection capabilities.

  The long-term goal is to "go out", leave here, collect more information, and improve the concept of becoming a level five civilization.

  The philosophical concepts just described by Zhang Yuan are still too general. It is so complicated to write a goal into one's own genes, and every aspect must be regulated.

  Therefore, the correct answer is to find some examples that have modified genetic philosophy for reference and improve the entire theory.

  …

  After the entire meeting ended, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

  Regarding the future, "There are a lot of things going on."

  People living in this world always have things to worry about. Often, before the previous ones are completed, subsequent troubles come one after another...

  Especially in this era, people have no children, and their attention has generally shifted to society as a whole, technology and other aspects. The people have very high demands on the government, and they will be criticized if something is not done well.

  "With so much new equipment purchased, everyone should be busy for a while."

  Zhang Yuan got a two-day holiday, which may be the only holiday for a long time in the future.

  Although all kinds of worries are dangling in front of you, generally speaking, it is still safe. There is no need to be so scared that you can't even eat because of some worries. You should take a good rest when you should...

  Taking advantage of this short vacation, Zhang Yuan decided to take his wife to climb "Mount Olympus" above the planetary fortress.

  This battle star has not been named, but a mountain peak above has been named. It is very special and extremely steep, with a total height of 28,000 meters, and at the top is a large platform with more than a dozen It is an area of ​​​​a football field and is very flat, and a spaceship docking station can be built on it.

  The original climbing project is deeply loved by tourists.

  "In order to maintain the purity of the geographical appearance, the hemispheric civilization deliberately avoided this mountain peak when developing planetary engines. This shows that they also like to climb mountains... Haha! Applause!"

  "Maybe they're just too lazy to dig up this huge mountain. Applause?! Where did you learn this strange quirk?"

  "Of course it's a hemispheric civilization. Applause!"

  Zhang Yuan and Lin Xuanxuan signed up for a mountaineering team. There were five people in total. They were led by two robot guides in the front and rear. Everyone was connected with ropes to prevent falling off the cliff.

  Since this is a planet with no atmosphere and low gravity, everyone is wearing power armor, so climbing is not that strenuous...
