After 44 years of interstellar navigation, mankind finally reached the destination of this station, Riley.
On this planet, theocracy and kingship have been firmly tied together for millions of years. Due to religious conflict and historical hatred, the war between kingdoms will break out almost every few years. The soldiers fight miserably and blood flows into a river!
For the Riley civilization without the birth of science and technology, naturally there is no individual who can see the arrival of the Kunlun Mountain fleet with the naked eye. At most, he can barely see the dim ion engine and mistakenly think it is a small star.
In this planetary system, the central main star is a yellow dwarf with an age of about 5.4 billion years. Its luminous intensity is 92% of that of the sun, which is very suitable for the birth of life.
Riley's geographical location and climate environment are quite similar to the earth. It is located in the livable belt of the planetary system. It has a lot of water resources, light green land, yellow desert, snowy plateau, and the north and south poles with thick ice
The only difference is that the atmosphere is slightly thicker, about 123% of the earth's, while the oxygen content is only 7.2%
7.2% oxygen content can barely support the aerobic respiration of life, but it can not be used for combustion on a large scale. Wood fibers are difficult to ignite, except that a few materials with high reducibility, such as white phosphorus, can burn in this low oxygen environment.
In other words, for this civilization, flame is a very rare thing, but it is not completely absent. Naturally, no real technology has been developed. Even reaching the bronze age can only be said to be careless.
In order to be conservative, human beings have launched some detectors to the planet in advance. Even if the other party is only a low-level civilization, the necessary caution should be
The probes soon sent back general information about the planet.
A geographer explained on the stage: "... The plants here can use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. As for why the oxygen content of this planet is so low, it is an unsolved mystery for us at present, which may be related to the changes of the environment and the composition of the whole planet."
"However, we can deduce to a certain extent according to the earth's 4.6 billion year evolution."
"According to the evolution law of the earth, the period when the oxygen content in the earth's atmosphere was the highest was from the end of the Carboniferous to the beginning of the Permian, when the oxygen concentration reached 35%. At this time, the dinosaurs have not appeared... On the contrary, the main dinosaurs, the ancestors of dinosaurs, rose from the Permian extinction period when the oxygen content fell to 12%."
"As a result, in the Triassic, the oxygen content increased significantly, so the dinosaurs evolved bigger and bigger."
"Therefore, according to the evolution law of the earth, if it is more extreme, there is no problem that the oxygen content drops to 7.2%. We are very interested in the evolution of these intelligent life... It is speculated that they will not be very large. "
"Captain, if possible, I apply to collect biological specimens from this planet."
"Mr. captain, I apply to investigate the geographical environment and human culture of this planet to provide real samples for creating a virtual world."
In this landing meeting, many scientists presented the long prepared bill in a tempestuous manner.
At present, the planet that people choose to mine directly is a bare, atmosphere free planet located on the periphery of the planetary system. After all, the other party is an intelligent civilization. There must be necessary (respect) and caution. But the most important thing is that this atmosphere free planet is the easiest to develop and can avoid microbial pollution, that's all.
However, since there is no great threat to this civilization, problems such as scientific research are all small things.
The most divergent opinion of Zhang Yuan and others is how to treat this kind of low-level civilization that has fallen into the trap of mediocrity?
Zhang Yuan said solemnly on the stage: "ladies and gentlemen, don't take it for granted that civilizations lower than ours can be manipulated and experimented with the population at will with a sense of superiority. We must maintain the moral order of civilization itself and the apparent justice... "
"... note that these justice are not for other civilizations, but for our own citizens."
"All our actions will become history and have an impact on future ideology."
Zhang Yuan stood on the stage and said what looked a little "hypocritical" without changing his face.
What do you mean?
Human itself is a very contradictory creature. For example, cats and dogs will be regarded as the object of living experiments by humans and carry out a series of experiments in the biological laboratory. But it does not affect some people to pet cats and dogs and produce animal protection associations.
However, will the animal protection association protest against serious scientific experiments? Maybe, but when this happens, few people support it.
With a population of 8 million people in Kunlun Mountain, the wisdom of the people has opened up, and the vast majority of the people are relatively kind under the influence of the environment.
They allow a certain degree of bioscience research, but they dislike indiscriminate slaughter.
This is the so-called "superficial justice".
This superficial justice is necessary for a civilization. Because everyone feels that they are just, not evil, to gain inner stability.
Mankind itself is a hypocritical creature. If all people's actions expose the evil of human nature itself, the whole civilization will soon collapse. Even if it does not collapse, it will affect the cohesion of the whole civilization. On the contrary, standing at the commanding height of morality can make yourself feel at ease.
"Therefore, with regard to diplomacy at a lower level, we must have our own code of conduct, rather than one thing in the East and one thing in the West. What the people should be taught is not justice itself, but a treatment belonging to the whole civilization... "
Of course, this diplomatic code of conduct is not fixed. It can be very flexible, suit measures to local conditions and seek truth from facts. But generally speaking, we should give the people a sense of sureness and let them naturally think, "Oh, we must be the Party of justice! We are a human civilization that loves peace and friendship! "
"We don't bully the weak, nor do we engage in massacres!"
That's enough.
However, this kind of "civilization and justice" can not be developed in a day or two. Only when we have contacted more civilizations and have enough historical precipitation can all people develop this mentality and produce a strong spirit from the heart.
Li Zhendong secretly clapped his hands, "I see. In fact, it is to cultivate a reasonable world outlook and values among interstellar citizens with the help of low-level civilization..."
"Only when most of the population agree with the values of their own civilization can we go further on the interstellar stage. This in itself is a very reasonable thing. "
Most people understood Zhang Yuan's meaning. Many scientists who submitted the bill also nodded cautiously and agreed with this view.
Zhang Yuan continued: "there are many routes for the diplomacy of low-level civilization. I list three main routes here. Once we have made a choice, our own rules of conduct should follow these lines. Even if the other party is weak like an ant, we should treat it equally & "
