Zhou Donglai spent three full months thinking about "how to do it".
But this matter was completely different from the military level, and even from the routine political management work.
Zhou Donglai could not think of a clear direction for this matter.
Fortunately, during these months, the cultural and art staff of the fleet, who were scattered all over the sky, were also not idle.
Nearly 100,000 talented scholars in the social sciences, both professional and non-professional, with expertise in political philosophy, historical analysis, psychology, sociology, economics, science and technology economics, civilization, and space-time topology, scattered in different teams, after intensive discussions and almost "life-and-death" debates, proposed a very innovative but very simple plan to formulate a convention, replacing the function of a great leader with an agreement between individuals and the entire civilization. The fastest update is on the computer::/
This ideal convention can both constrain organizations in a big way and be specific to individuals in a small way.
The convention has both a binding effect similar to that of the law and a set of spontaneous behavioral norms applicable to everyone.
The source of the convention is not only based on the life philosophy of the ancient philosopher Chen Feng, but also traces back and extends to the past and present, and comprehensively analyzes the many "conventions", "covenants", "agreements", "famous quotes", "philosophical discussions", and "famous quotes" that have played an important role in the history of human civilization from ancient times to the present. Then, based on the new situation faced by mankind in the early 30th century as the basic foundation and background of the times, it seeks a universal truth that can be applied to the complex changes in people's hearts in the current era.
The convention will inherit the function of the leader to a certain extent, which is not only a code of conduct to constrain people, but also a reminder to everyone why mankind exists and what role individuals should play in civilization. :(/
This principle will form a solid dialectical thinking pattern in people's minds to guide everyone to make decisions that are beneficial to the collective when facing major life choices.
If such a magical covenant can be completed, the crisis that Qin Guang and other knowledgeable people are worried about will be solved.
But the covenant itself is not a reasonable thing.
Assuming that humans are not threatened by aliens, nor do they receive technological assistance from alien civilizations, and no one can repeatedly bring scientific knowledge back to the modern world from the future, in the normal course of civilization, let humans promote the development of science and technology and productivity in a way that conforms to basic logic, relying solely on their own abilities, and then step out of the earth and set foot on alien planets.
In this process, the construction and development time of various colonies and human galaxies, the incubation and formation of various key technologies The time required must be extended by at least ten times, or as many as dozens of times.
So, for humans to become a galaxy-level civilization, theoretically it will take at least ten thousand years starting from the year 2000.
To develop to the size of the current Morningwind Empire, it will most likely take a twenty-thousand-year period.
It takes longer, so the population base from birth to death will also be proportionally enlarged.
More people are needed to gradually build up the current size of the empire.
In the process of development, the people on Earth may need to go through large-scale galaxy-level civil wars again and again, constantly splitting and unifying. Some galaxies may become strong for a short time, then make some contributions, and then be eliminated.
Humanity will also experience more internal wars and alternating evolutions of peace. There will be struggles between systems, struggles between ideas, and many more levels.
The normal path of civilization advancement cannot be the illogical step-by-step rapid leap forward in today’s history, but rather a more tortuous spiral ascent that requires a longer period of time and involves more participants. The small groups under the large group compete
with each other but also cooperate with each other on some level. The alternating evolution of war and peace, development and regression will allow humans to gradually deepen their thinking about the universe and themselves, and will bring a more complex and comprehensive ideological evolution process to human civilization as a whole.
In this process, the development of human spiritual civilization and material civilization will take turns to compete with each other, forming a relationship that is both mutually antagonistic and complementary, forming the two legs of civilization, and the error correction ability of the huge civilization itself will provide a reconciling effect between the two legs. Let me give you
the simplest example . , in several renaissances, great revivals, and literary explosions, human beings’ spiritual civilization wealth has slightly surpassed material civilization. Longer-term vision and precious positive literary resources have brought more widely disseminated knowledge, and spawned more scientific talents with advanced vision and ability, which in turn has driven material civilization to move forward rapidly, thus forming the first, second, third... Nth industrial revolution and technological revolution.
However, when the industrial revolution and technological revolution broke out, the rapidly expanding demand for material civilization put forward a clear tendency of employment demand for the human group, as well as a more pragmatic overall social atmosphere. Under the guidance of this social environment, more people will tend to engage in work related to material civilization when making decisions about life choices.
Therefore, in this stage, the speed of spiritual civilization development is in turn suppressed by the rapid development of material civilization.
Until one day, the collective consciousness of civilization will naturally realize that the overly backward spiritual civilization is in turn holding back the material civilization, causing some unrest, causing some wars of varying scales, and causing material civilization to stagnate or temporarily regress. It
is very likely that some regions will lag behind, small-scale wars will break out within the galaxy, and even large-scale wars may break out between different star regions, and many people will definitely die.
But that is not a big problem, because as long as there is no external enemy, once human beings leave the solar system, they will never completely perish. The civilization as a whole will naturally eliminate the backward parts like cutting out a tumor, and the remaining ones will surely become the essence and bring about a new round of rapid progress.
In turbulent times, spiritual civilization will surely catch up quickly until the gap is made up, or it will cause fundamental changes in the social system.
Then civilization will enter the next period of rapid growth of material civilization and leave spiritual civilization behind again.
This cycle will repeat over and over again.
In theory, it is impossible to achieve a perfect balance between the material and the spiritual.
Well, in the normal history of human civilization development, it would take humans 10,000 to 20,000 years to complete the expansion to the current productivity explosion process, and after repeated ideological changes and repeated ideological conflicts, with the help of constantly absorbing lessons, human society can naturally obtain a reasonable spiritual civilization suitable for contemporary needs.
But the current situation is that it took only 900 years for the earthlings to complete the material civilization process that normally takes 10,000 to 20,000 years, or even more.
The people on Earth are rushing forward on the road of technological explosion created by Chen Feng. They have no time to stop and look back, and think about themselves and the universe from a philosophical perspective. Earth
civilization is like an overdeveloped child with a lame leg. His physical fitness has improved, but his worldview has fallen behind.
The lame child has to hold a sword and fight with the grinning wolf in front of him. Behind the wolf, there is a terrifying shadow whose true identity cannot be seen and whose strength is unknown.
The child is 6,000 years old this year. In his 6,000 years of life, he has never faced such a strange and harsh living environment. His past survival experience and survival philosophy are no longer applicable.
Under the threat of such a terrible internal and external environment, the most active, deepest, and most comprehensive brain area in the child's brain (the ancient philosopher Chen Feng) has disappeared, and there is still no time to think about metaphysical and humanistic questions such as "Who am I", "What am I doing", "What kind of person do I want to be in the future", etc.
Due to the lack of knowledge and spiritual civilization, in the process of dealing with the enemy, he even finds it difficult to figure out the question "What should I do to defeat the enemy in front of me", let alone consider dealing with the shadow behind the enemy. He can only leave everything to instinct, which will inevitably lead to the problems that Zhou Donglai sees.
The small-scale civil unrest in the nameless fleet can still be suppressed by the invincible Tong Ling.
But if the scale of this civil unrest is magnified to the entire empire, even a hundred Tong Lings will not be able to control the situation.
Things will get completely out of control.
But humanity is facing a powerful enemy. Behind the powerful enemy, the Compound Eyes, there is a mastermind whose existence has been proven to be inevitable, but whose ability is still unknown. Human civilization will definitely not be able to withstand the turmoil, and the pace of progress cannot be stopped. The
earth civilization seems to have a sure victory, but in fact it is still in danger.
At this time, the significance of the covenant is highlighted.
The covenant can be regarded as the 24th pair of chromosomes in the body cells of a child in addition to the basic 23 pairs of chromosomes.
The extra chromosomes will give each cell (each person) some new characteristics.
The essence of this new characteristic is thought.
Assuming that the depth of information carrying these characteristics is consistent with the original 23 pairs of chromosomes, it will be possible to provide all cells of the confused child with some behavioral norms similar to instinct, so as to correct the direction of cell division and growth as much as possible, so that each cell can become more useful, stronger, and more in line with the overall needs of the child's body, rather than cancer.
Qin Guang recognized the proposal of his colleagues in the fleet, organized it into a form, and sent it to the Imperial Headquarters with his own title, which soon received widespread recognition.
The preparation of the "Convention on a Community of Shared Future for Mankind" has since been put on the agenda.
After the direction is determined, the only thing left is to achieve it through practice.
In the next two months, hundreds of millions of scholars proposed hundreds of millions of solutions from different fields and angles of science and technology.
After a series of research and simulation experiments lasting half a year, the final solution is as follows.
By absorbing the research on human body and genetic information from the core projects of the predecessor Chen Feng, such as frozen embryo synthesis, original gene synthesis, human cryopreservation technology, and the Nuwa Project, a complete set of deep gene modification technology with real energy level precision was designed.
Through this gene modification technology, a basic law involving every pair of chromosomes and every pair of base pairs can be engraved on the double-stranded DNA structure in human cells with real energy precision.
This new basic law will give new activity to the human brain. The quantum thinking storm of the human brain will resonate strongly with the external environment, and will be able to listen to the "wisdom of the universe" just like Chen Feng, who was the first to break through 50% of the gene awakening degree.
Afterwards, people who have accepted the improvement can engrave a life code that cannot be violated, resisted, or forgotten in the bottom layer of their thinking, which is the covenant of the community of human destiny.
The content of the convention is a combination of the essence of the long history of "Song of the World", "Never Walk Alone", "Morning Breeze", "Song of Righteousness", countless classic symphonies, national anthems and international anthems of all human countries from ancient times to the present, countless classic literary and artistic works and philosophical discussions, countless games, movies, TV dramas, etc., and it is a "symbol" jointly compiled by many artists, philosophers, thinkers, writers, scientists and others in the current era.
The concept of this "symbol" comes from the super-complex stacked memory symbol created by the ancient philosopher Chen Feng when storing his memory. The amount of information carried is not inferior to the mark that Chen Feng created himself, which contains his nine lifetime memories.
It is not only a song, but also a poem, a lingering speech, and a long and lingering picture.
It will use all the cultural essence left in the 6,000-year history of human civilization.
In the past, there have always been two completely different and conflicting concepts.
Some people believe that civilization has inertia and the ability to correct itself. When society expands to a certain extent and scientific and technological productivity expands to a certain extent, the value of any individual to the collective will become dispensable.
Others believe that civilization needs leaders and heroes to lead.
At this stage, Zhou Donglai, Tang Xiaao and most people hold the second concept.
But the clever thing is that these two concepts have formed a mutual confirmation in the "symbol" of the convention.
The convention completely merges these two contradictory concepts.
As for right and wrong, there is only one criterion for judgment: "Will human civilization still exist one million years from now?"
In 2929.
In March, the genetic information improvement technology named "Ultimate Genetic Modification" was successfully developed. At the
end of December, in the squadrons of the Nameless Fleet and the human settlements in countless galaxies, astronomical numbers of transformation equipment were fully popularized. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. In
August 2930, after ten years of hard work, the Earth civilization finally completed the "Community of Human Destiny" after paying the lives of more than two billion related scholars. It is abbreviated as the "Destiny Convention", a pyramid-shaped three-dimensional symbol that is both infinitely large and infinitely small.
