Chapter 761: Eighteen Human Civilizations, Trial Plan, and...the Almighty!
What is the greatest civilization? This is a big question.
For humans, it is not realistic to continue to hide the fact that they are in the "third level of civilization development". After all, the speed of information exchange is too fast now. Although the network of the entire Buzhou Alliance is not fully interoperable, information will always be leaked during daily exchanges.
It is also true that Green City has a high status.
So, why not just declare that "I am part of a powerful civilization"...
In fact, in terms of comprehensive strength and civilization background, Green City is absolutely top-notch. There are two [monsters] and two [ghosts] alone. Even those [blood ghosts] have been assembled, with only one arm left, which is retained on the side of the Rize civilization.
However, government leaders such as Lu Yuan and Lao Mao are all relatively low-key. The internal propaganda of "part of a powerful civilization" is already the limit of what they can tolerate.
"But to transform from a powerful civilization into a great civilization requires not only technological development, but also something spiritual."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said loudly to the camera: "For example, a sense of responsibility, initiative, and the ability to stand on one's own!"
"My friends, it's time for us to take on greater responsibilities."
"Starting tomorrow, we will embark on a new journey and take the first step on a down-to-earth basis."
"I call it the Pangu Great Travel Plan!"
In a more advanced civilization, like the tower-top civilization, one person is a civilization.
A person who possesses the complete knowledge of a civilization is an all-rounder.
If humans want to advance towards a Level 6 civilization, they must cultivate the ability of their citizens to be independent: that is, to send citizens out to travel around the Pangu Continent, spread their ideas, expand the reputation of their civilization, and accumulate more resources.
Of course, the strength of a level six civilization still cannot form an army by one person, but this goal can be achieved through teamwork.
In the past, the sixth-level civilization traveled across the entire Pangu Continent largely to obtain resources. Only with the supply of the entire Pangu Continent could they obtain the huge amount of resources needed to sprint towards a sixth-level civilization.
However, Green City is not short of money, and the mythical industrialization has brought huge income.
The "craftsman guidance income" alone exceeded 20,000 civilization points and more than one million spiritual energy!
But the cultivation of citizens must be done, because it is the only way to move from a young civilization to a mature civilization and a necessary means to increase wisdom.
"At our city's northern airport, 20 scientific research spacecraft are ready."
"Each spacecraft can accommodate the daily lives of 100,000 citizens."
"It's equipped with weapons, food, water, and some extraordinary resources."
"These teams will leave our city for a long time and go to more distant places. The world is big, and we need to go out and see it."
"Within each group, 100,000 people form a small society. They have some industrial power, but it's incomplete; they have some combat power, but not much. They also have some soldiers, but only a few thousand. To start a war rashly is to die."
"You will inevitably face some constraints and encounter considerable difficulties in the future."
"You might experience some internal conflicts, encounter external risks, discover some strange civilizations, or even gain insight into the truth behind the epochal disaster..."
"You can also establish diplomatic relations with certain foreign civilizations and teach them more advanced systems and technologies..."
"Even if a war breaks out with them and there are casualties, it all depends on your own choice."
"This is not a game, this is the real world."
"This life of fear and trepidation is necessary. As a species with a longer lifespan, the development of our wisdom depends on our own life experiences. We must establish a more down-to-earth worldview through practice, rather than sitting in the office, enjoying a comfortable and peaceful life, and imagining a world that is merely fictional, not real."
“Peaceful days are rare and precious. Only by understanding the source of comfort can we cherish every day.”
Lu Yuan's words quickly caused an uproar in Green City.
In fact, the Pangu Trial Plan has been promoted for a long time.
Long-lived species, especially those of the acquired variety, possess some intelligence that can be developed. The physiological phenomenon of "the more you use your brain, the sharper it becomes" is particularly pronounced. However, research has revealed that developing this "intelligence" requires multi-level and multi-dimensional pressure, requiring the experience of all aspects of life to achieve so-called "omnipotence."
As the life span of the Ninth Era was obviously not going to be too long, both Lu Yuan and Lao Mao had been steadily advancing this matter over the past hundred years - they were both really anxious, fearing that the [God] would suddenly jump out and start a war.
But the citizens of Green City all felt that this matter was a bit far-fetched.
That's normal.
Most people don't pay attention to politics at all, they just care about their own little piece of land.
Now that it's suddenly been announced, there's an indescribable sense of uncertainty—have we really reached this point? Legend has it that only a Level 6 civilization has the power to spread its influence to every corner of the world.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be enough.
Even the number of acquired myths is 33, and one more is added every few years...
"I declare that the Trial Plan for the Eighteen Civilizations of Humanity has officially begun!"
Lu Yuan bowed deeply to the camera.
There were crowds of people and bright lights.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing. All the media reporters seemed unable to ask any questions and were just busy taking pictures.
The current population of Green City is 23 million. Sending out 2 million people at once is indeed a large number, and people cannot help but worry about their safety.
"Commander Lu, why are you so urgent... I always feel that we... are still a little short of the mark." A young female reporter raised the microphone high.
"In my eyes, you will always be children, growing up in ivory towers, with a relatively shallow understanding of economic pressures and the world." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "That's why, in this major plan, the older generations don't need to participate too much. At most, they can lead the team and provide some security resources."
“The plan is to have more people from later generations participate.”
"We won't force anyone to join. Everything is voluntary. If the results are good, we will continue to expand the team in the future. Our current financial income is completely sufficient."
"I hope everyone can patiently think about what we lack compared to hundreds of years ago. Willpower and a mature mindset."
What Lu Yuan said is true. Staying in comfort for too long will slowly wear away one's willpower.
The eighteen human civilizations have been staying in the ruins of Buzhou for two hundred years, and the number of the new generation is increasing.
The nearly 10 million young people have never experienced a major crisis and lack a sense of crisis.
In addition, humans have a high status and other civilizations need Green City, which is over-praised, leading to everyone being overconfident.
So... instead of staying here, it’s better to go out!
A small society with a population of 100,000 people does not support idlers.
Everyone must exercise subjective initiative and exert their own strength, otherwise this small society will quickly collapse.
When you encounter an alien civilization, you have to make your own choice.
The spacecraft's defenses were quite good, with light curtain spiritual language technology and a high-performance idealistic anti-gravity engine, making escape very convenient.
But the offensive power is insufficient to massacre civilization.
You have to do your own diplomacy and make your own name.
In this case, the pressure is really on.
Everyone was worried about where the 2 million people would be lost in a crisis... Even if only one spaceship was lost, the casualties of 100,000 people would be a major event in the past few hundred years.
"This is the only way to become a powerful civilization!"
"We're not splitting up. Instead, we're sending some people to build a larger network of relationships and train them to be independent." Lu Yuan said to the reporters in a decisive tone, "Back then, my leader, the Saraki tribe, had less than 10,000 people and had to raise 50,000 children, yet they managed to survive!"
"Now we have a large spaceship with a cave and a temple inside. What are you afraid of?"
"Everyone, initiative and omnipotence are scarce resources."
"If we want to achieve a Level 6 civilization, this step must be taken! If we want to achieve a Level 7 civilization, we must cultivate more almighty people!"
Almighty!
This term is a bit unfamiliar.
Lu Yuan spoke a lot in one breath: "Yes, the newly proposed concept of 'Almighty' is also known as a super individual with a solid worldview and values, outstanding personal skills, and no weaknesses."
"Only this kind of 'almighty' can go further in climbing the tree of wisdom!"
"You don't really think that everyone is suitable for intelligence transformation, do you?"
"If you don't meet the requirements, your faith will collapse during the intellectual leap, or you may develop antisocial tendencies or mental illness! You must know that modifying your mind is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may destroy yourself and even civilization."
"At the eighth level of civilization, there is a comprehensive sublimation. One person is a civilization! One person can do everything!"
"Only the Almighty can meet this requirement! Every individual of the eighth-level civilization has experienced the ups and downs and experienced the storms!"
This is the will of the highest level of human government!
For a moment, all the journalists, experts and scholars were frightened.
In fact, the preparations this time were really thorough.
The spaceship is a carefully designed "Green Knight III" model, and the cost of each one exceeds 1,200 spiritual charms!
As the name suggests, this thing is shaped like a large flying saucer, and its pattern is like a turtle shell. Its defense is greatly enhanced, and it will not be hurt even if it is hit by a few nuclear bombs.
The firepower of the spacecraft is also passable, and it can easily bully a third-level civilization.
If you encounter a level 4 civilization, you will not be shot down while the light curtain lasts.
What's more, there is a "temple" in the spacecraft, which can easily dispatch support from headquarters.
"Of course, if we call headquarters, it means this trip is a definite failure. It's a trump card that can't be used lightly."
After Lu Yuan explained everything, he bowed to the camera again and walked off the stage.
At this time, warm applause finally broke out from the audience.
Young people began to research information related to the "Almighty", and people lined up at various promotional points. Experts and scholars also began to publish articles on the Internet to explain it.
"The Almighty" is naturally not a concept made up by Lu Yuan, but a real existence, and even the knowledge left by the Tower Top Civilization.
The seventh-level gear civilization also has some heritage left over.
Because when civilization develops to a certain level, it will inevitably face the problem of "intellectual iteration".
Even though the potential of "acquired mythology" is still limited, "intellectual iteration" is endless.
To give a simple example, one of the important methods is "thinking acceleration", using photonic neural networks to replace traditional neural networks composed of cells.
Think about it, the speed of photons is the speed of light, while the signal transmission speed of traditional neurons is only a few hundred meters per second. Even if it is an acquired myth that has some ability to "accelerate thinking", the transmission speed of neuron signals is still only one thousandth of the speed of light, or even one ten-thousandth!
Once replaced by "photon module", an intellectual leap will occur!
However, even the most perfect "photonic neural network" solution still has certain risks.
For something it has never been exposed to, the "photonic neural network" may have some non-human ideas.
But for everything it comes into contact with, the solutions that the "photonic neural network" comes up with are still from a human perspective.
In addition, there is the even more magical "parallel thinking technology"!
If one thinking entity is still not fast enough, then just create multiple "I"s to assist thinking. Just like split personality, each personality has its own division of labor, but if there is no strong enough main personality, a major collapse is likely to occur.
There is also "personality simulation technology" that directly copies the neural network of a genius and makes the person have the same intelligence as the other person.
There are also "additional perception technology", "modular thinking" and so on!
Intellectual technology is all related to personality. It carries huge risks, but it is also the road to super civilization!
The so-called world view and political stance are really important in the face of this kind of intellectual technology.
Under the premise that "one person is a civilization", how can we ensure the normal operation of the overall civilization?
If a large number of "non-human standpoint" ideas emerge, can these individuals still serve the entire civilization?
How can we make citizens feel a sense of belonging and how can we avoid conflicts caused by super-intelligent entities?
The answer is very simple. Before your intelligence iterates, you must become an omnipotent person, be exposed to as many affairs as possible, and have your own thoughts and ideas about the world and life.
Only the omnipotent can iterate intellectually.
Otherwise, there is no opportunity for intellectual iteration.
Therefore, even an existence like the Tower Top Civilization has a rear base camp with many ordinary individuals who are striving to become "almighty."
"I see, that makes sense. A so-called omnipotent person must be capable of everything!" someone commented. "If I hadn't pursued painting, my aesthetic taste after my intellectual leap might have diverged from what it is now. But if I had pursued and researched it, there wouldn't have been any deviation."
"So what if there's a deviation? It doesn't seem to matter that much... It's just a matter of aesthetics. Some people like blue, some like green. It's just personal preference."
"It really doesn't matter much, but this is just a small area. You have to know that people's worldview is made up of details from all aspects. If there is a slight deviation here and there, then the worldview will be completely different from that of other people. This situation can be very dangerous."
"Of course, cultivating an all-rounder is difficult and time-consuming. It requires a lot of experience, a lot of learning and practice."
"It sounds a bit like a craftsman. The more experience you have, the more inspiration you have."
"Perhaps many roads lead to the same destination..."
A tech worker posted: "According to the information provided by the Gear Civilization, there are actually some advanced civilizations that don't cultivate all-rounders, but directly install 'intelligence modules' on their citizens."
"But the probability of this kind of civilization splitting up is very high!"
"In our ideology, even if we pursue individual freedom, we must also serve civilization to a certain extent. The two are in opposition and unity. Without the collective, how can we talk about the future?"
"But many super-individuals who have achieved a quantum leap in intelligence no longer think this way. They tower over entire civilizations and view ordinary individuals like paramecium. This change in perspective is irreversible and extremely risky."
"Furthermore, the Almighty is more adaptable. Parallel thinking and personality simulation are only possible with the Almighty, and emotions won't disappear with it. It's the safest and most effective way!"
The scientist wrote several thousand words in a very eloquent manner. Although humans are still a long way from making a leap in intelligence, everyone still read it with great interest.
Everyone commented: "No wonder the civilization at the top of the tower is so humane."
"Then we really need to cultivate all-rounders as early as possible."
"It's too late to wait until the time is right to cultivate it. We'll have to wait for thousands of years."
Thousands of years of cultivation time can even be said to be too short.
An all-rounder must have worked in most industries and learned a vast amount of knowledge. Without tens of thousands of years of hard work, it is not certain that he can pass the test.
"I guess, in the entire Green City, the only qualified person is the Grand Commander?"
All in all, after this debate, public resistance has clearly decreased.
The number of people at the registration point gradually increased.
