The lenino civilization, if divided according to the conventional interstellar hierarchy, can be regarded as a first-class civilization, with the navigation ability between planets and the ability to exploit extraterrestrial resources.
And this is a civilization with a long history, more than a million years of long history.
However, since the invention of controllable nuclear fusion technology, this civilization has gradually lost its driving force. As for the invention of controllable nuclear fusion, it may have been more than 900000 years ago... This is true of conventional sink civilizations. After a period of rapid progress, it has been at a standstill for a long time, and the whole people are addicted to the development of pseudoscience.
The so-called pseudoscience, that is, some disciplines whose fundamental principles are difficult to explain or simply wrong, but many people are willing to believe.
The low-end pseudoscience includes empiricism such as perpetual motion machines, insects appearing out of thin air, and eggs and milk can't be eaten together; The high-end ones include quantum mysticism, cardiac stem cells, n-rays, and other academic fraud made by well-known scholars.
If academic fraud is not exposed, every individual is addicted to pseudoscience and cannot extricate himself. Civilization naturally stops making progress. Even a small number of people who want to uphold justice are often submerged in the vast ocean of people's war because they have too little voice
In fact, the technology of first-class civilization is enough to meet the needs of the people. Even if the development is slow, it doesn't matter. They have controllable nuclear fusion technology, the most basic artificial intelligence, primary medical materials, certain space development capacity, stagnant population growth and no worries about food and clothing. What else is worth developing when the productivity is far greater than the demand?
The so-called "scientific progress" is just a fabricated excuse to paralyze the minds of the bottom people... As long as this excuse still exists, a small amount of class mobility will occur. Even if this mobility depends on deceptive pseudoscience, it is better than not flowing at all.
In the long-term stable and peaceful environment, the lenino civilization has developed a total of one and a half extraterrestrial planets. Half is a gaseous planet around, that is, a nuclear fuel depot, and the other is naturally a surrounding red companion star
This is not uncommon. In the case of low population growth rate, it is really unnecessary to develop every planet. Why occupy more unnecessary territory?
There is no need to do these things without great interests.
There are 26 recessive ruling families in civilization. Although the governments of various countries seem to be democratically elected, there is always the manipulation of these 26 families behind them. They control public opinion and capital. The so-called president and prime minister are just spokesmen for capital.
Because it is difficult to inherit such things as power. There are great differences in each individual's personal ability. It is bad luck for individuals with poor ability to inherit power.
Therefore, these ruling families generally do not face the people directly. It's a smart choice.
But wealth is much easier to inherit. After long-term capital development, the vast majority of the property of the whole planet is monopolized by these 26 families. In addition, the progress of science and technology gradually stops. The families that used to fight life and death and are hostile to each other have become harmonious with each other
The world is peaceful, and the productivity is far greater than the demand. As long as they manage their own territory well. The long lost peace took place on this planet. As long as public opinion is well controlled, 26 families can rule this civilization forever.
Such a peaceful day seems to continue for 100000 years, millions of years.
Even, with the passage of time, under the struggle with each other, all big families have become more enlightened and distributed many of their endless wealth to the people, including low rent housing, relief meals and basic social welfare system. Life on this planet is very simple. As long as one person works hard, he can feed a whole big family.
In the view of these rulers, these properties can not be used up by themselves and can be supported by the people. Why not?
In addition, rich electronic and chemical hormones can bring the cheapest way of entertainment. Therefore, the overall happiness of individuals of lenino civilization is ridiculously high, and the overall crime rate is also very low
This is also the standard status quo of many degenerate civilizations... Whether they are degenerate civilizations has nothing to do with people's happiness.
"Ah, every time I come to this space port at Lagrange point, I will feel the strength of the whole civilization! We have built such a huge space observation device. The power of collective cooperation is really great! "
"Yes, thousands of years ago, the space port at Lagrange point was still in the planning stage, but now, in the hands of our generation, it has finally been completed."
The spaceport is built by 26 families with collective funding recently. It can be regarded as the largest interstellar transportation transit station of this civilization.
Several aristocratic children of lenino civilization are feeling the greatness of science and technology.
"Praise technology and cooperation."
"Yes, the most important thing is cooperation."
They boarded a spaceship, went to the red companion star next door, and then began to chat casually: "I heard that in recent years, the number of users of class C electronic hormones has increased again, and the death cycle once in hundreds of years is coming again... These populations will be eliminated soon, and then a batch of new ones will be replaced. When I first heard about it, I thought they were very poor... "
These intelligent lives look a bit like orangutans, with two hands and two legs, wearing a small amount of clothes, which shows that they have a similar concept of shame to humans. The concept of shame can be linked with morality, so it is a species with empathy.
A lenino made a shot, "poor man? The reincarnation of death is what they asked for... I once met with tramps on the roadside and asked them whether they want to live in a better environment or play some electronic hormones every day? If they want to live in low rent housing, I can give them some money to support them. "
"But most tramps choose electronic hormones! They said they were voluntary! "
"So... Choosing such a life has nothing to do with us, but they asked for it."
"Lord ORN, it's very kind of you to pay attention to those tramps."
"Hey, not to mention this, I'm more looking forward to fighting insects now. Armani, what new weapons have your family developed?"
"Of course, there is a sharp knife with high-speed rotation and vibration, which can easily cut the body of insects. There is also an electromagnetic ejection shell. We call it a high magnetic gun... Hey, you'll know where you go anyway!"
