Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 363: On the surface of justice


  After 44 years of interstellar voyage, mankind finally reached the destination of this station, Riley Star.

  On this planet, the divine power and the kingship are firmly bound together, and it has lasted for millions of years. Due to religious conflicts and historical hatred, the war between the kingdom and the kingdom would break out almost every few years. The soldiers fought fiercely and blood flowed into rivers!

  For the Riley civilization without the birth of science and technology, there are naturally no individuals who can see the arrival of the Kunlun Mountain fleet with the naked eye, at most they can barely see the dim ion engine, and then mistake it for a Little star.

  In this planetary system, the main star in the center is a yellow dwarf with an age of about 5.4 billion years, with a luminous intensity of 92% of that of the sun, which is very suitable for the birth of life.

  The geographical location and climate environment of Riley Star are quite similar to those of the Earth. It is located in the habitable zone of the planetary system and has a lot of water resources, pale green land, yellow deserts, snowy plateaus, and thick ice. The north and south poles of the layers

   The only difference is that the atmosphere is slightly thicker, about 123% of the earth, while the oxygen content is only 7.2%...

   7.2% oxygen content can barely support the aerobic respiration of living organisms, but there is no way to use it for combustion on a large scale. Except for a few materials with high reducibility, such as white phosphorus, which can burn in this low-oxygen environment, wood fibers are difficult to ignite.

   That is, for this civilization, flame is a very rare thing, but it is not completely absent. Naturally, no real technology has been developed. Even in the Bronze Age, it can only be said to be so-so.

   To be conservative, humans have launched some probes on this planet in advance. Even if the opponent is just a low-level civilization, the necessary caution should be taken...

   These probes quickly transmitted general information about this planet.

   A geographer explained on the stage: "...The plants here can use carbon dioxide photosynthesis. As for why the oxygen content of this planet is so low, it is an unsolved mystery for us now. , May be related to changes in the environment and the composition of the entire planet."

  "However, we can make a certain degree of deduction based on the earth’s 4.6 billion years of evolution."

  "According to the law of evolution of the earth, the period when the earth’s atmosphere has the highest oxygen content is from the end of the Carboniferous to the beginning of the Permian, reaching an oxygen concentration of 35%. At this time, dinosaurs have not yet appeared...On the contrary, the ancestors of dinosaurs , The rise of the main dragons has been since the Permian mass extinction period when the oxygen content fell to 12%."

  "As a result, in the Triassic period, the oxygen content has risen sharply, so the dinosaurs have evolved to get bigger and bigger."

  "So, according to the law of evolution of the earth, if it is a bit more extreme, the oxygen content will drop to 7.2%, there is no problem. We are very interested in the evolution of these intelligent life...It is speculated that their size will not be very large. ."

   "Your Captain, if possible, I apply to collect biological specimens from this planet."

   "Mr. Captain, I am applying to investigate the geographical environment and humanities and culture of this planet, so as to provide a real sample for creating a virtual world."

  In this landing meeting, many scientists went wild and submitted their long-prepared proposals.

   The planet that people currently choose to mine directly is a bare, non-atmospheric planet located on the periphery of the planetary system. After all, the other party is a wise civilization, and the necessary (respect) and caution are still required. But the most important thing is that this non-atmospheric planet is the easiest to develop and can avoid microbial pollution, and that's it.

   However, since this civilization is not too threatening, the scientific research and other issues are all trivial matters.

   Zhang Yuan and others have the biggest difference of opinion, how to treat this kind of low-level civilization that has fallen into the trap of mediocrity?

   Zhang Yuan said solemnly on the stage: "Everyone, don’t take it for granted that civilizations lower than ours can be manipulated at will, with a sense of superiority, and freely grasping people for experiments. We must maintain civilization. Its own moral order, and the apparent justice..."

  "...Attention, these justices are not for other civilizations, but for our own citizens."

   "Everything we do will become history and have an impact on future ideologies."

   Zhang Yuan stood on the stage and said something that seemed a bit "hypocritical" without changing his face.

What does    mean?

  Humans themselves are very contradictory creatures. To make a concrete analogy, cats and dogs will be treated as subjects of living experiments by humans, and a series of experiments will be carried out in biological laboratories. But it does not affect some people's petting cats and dogs, and the creation of an animal protection association.

   However, will the Animal Protection Association protest serious scientific experiments? Maybe it will, but when this happens, few people support it.

   Kunlun Mountain has a population of 8 million, and the people's wisdom has been developed. The vast majority of the people are relatively benevolent under the influence of the environment.

   They allow a certain degree of biological science research, but they hate random slaughter.

   This is the so-called "superficial justice".

   This kind of superficial justice is also necessary for a civilization. Because everyone feels that they are righteous, not evil, to gain inner peace.

   Human beings are hypocritical creatures. If everyone’s actions reveal the evil that belongs to human nature nakedly, then the entire civilization will soon collapse, and even if it does not collapse, it will affect the cohesion of the entire civilization. On the contrary, standing on the commanding heights of morality can make oneself feel at ease.

  "So, with regard to diplomacy with lower levels, we must have our own rules of conduct~IndoMTL.com~ instead of the East, the West. What the people should be instilled is not justice itself, but It belongs to the whole civilization..."

  This kind of diplomatic code of conduct is of course not fixed. It can be very flexible and seek truth from facts according to local conditions. But in general, we must give the people a sense of solidity and let them naturally think, "Oh, we must be the righteous party! We are a peace-loving and friendly human civilization!"

   "We don't bully the weak, and we won't commit massacres!"

   This is enough.

   But this kind of "civilized justice" cannot be cultivated in a day or two. It must be exposed to more civilizations. With enough historical precipitation, all people can develop this mentality. The inner spirit is strong.

   Li Zhendong clapped his hands secretly, "It turns out that, in fact, it is with the hands of low-level civilization to cultivate a reasonable worldview and values ​​among interstellar citizens..."

  "Only when the majority of the population agrees with the values ​​of our own civilization, we can go further on the interstellar stage. This is a very reasonable thing in itself."

  Most people understood what Zhang Yuan meant. Many scientists who submitted the proposal also nodded cautiously and agreed with this point of view.

  Zhang Yuan continued: "There are many routes in the diplomacy of low-level civilizations. I will list three main routes here. Once we have made a choice, our own rules of conduct should follow these routes, even if The other party is weak and weak like an ant, and should be treated equally &"
