Everyone was in front of the screen and started to think about it.

This ability is so weird!

Weird...even extremely dangerous!

But it is an important opportunity to become an interstellar civilization!

“Can culture be modified?”

"Of course, it's more difficult to modify the culture, and the more aspects it involves."

For example, there is a culture in the West called "rebound sex", which means that after a breakup, women will randomly find a man as a spare tire, or even go to bed directly. In the West, this is a relatively common phenomenon. People are not surprised by this, and no one will say anything more.

In the East, although it is common to find spare tires, it is condemned on a moral level.

This is from a cultural level, the acceptance of a certain concept is different.

Now, through concept rewriting devices, the moral acceptance of "finding spare tires" can be rewritten at will.

From 0%, everyone despises this behavior, to 100%, everyone accepts this behavior and can be set at will.

But you should know that rewriting a concept will involve all aspects of social development and will also bring about a large number of butterfly effects.

If everyone wants to despise the behavior of finding a spare tire, then this society will inevitably have a society with extremely high moral requirements and even morally solidified, and it is not uncommon to evolve into the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues".

If the acceptance of "the behavior of finding a spare tire" is 100%, then the marriage system will inevitably no longer exist and human society will undergo further evolution.

There are many similar concepts, and you can even create a concept out of thin air, such as "wearing a ring", and everyone must wear a ring.

But the consequences caused by this are difficult to judge. It is possible that the ring will be suddenly out of stock and the relevant manufacturers will make a fortune; it is also possible that people without rings will be heartbroken and become slaves to those with rings, and even commit suicide in great pain.

This consequence depends on the strength of the "concept". It is obviously inappropriate to have an overly strong concept.

Faced with such complex and vast abilities as the universe, Lu Yiming didn't know what to say.

It is obvious that humans in the capital of the Sea of ​​Clouds cannot play with this ability.

The final result of blind correction is likely to be worse and not better.

“…Is there a sample of template that has been successfully modified?”

"Of course there are. We have collected 11,289 thinking templates for interstellar civilizations. If your civilization is willing to abandon its entire culture and choose any thinking template, it is feasible."

"So many interstellar civilizations...there are really a lot of them."

However, no one is willing to give up their inheritance, abandon everything, and choose another civilization culture.

It’s like the thoughts of the people of Xia people, Xihua, who abandons everything, can’t do it.

"You don't need to be in a hurry. Many civilizations need to prepare for hundreds of years or even thousands of years. The number of times they fine-tune the thinking of the overall civilization is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times.

“Because each civilization has different cultural history, we will not give any detailed suggestions.”

...

About sixteen hours later, the expedition team came out of the base.

The gains this time were so great that they also faced real challenges, so that everyone was silent and didn't know what they were thinking.

Interstellar civilization...it was actually achieved in this way!

This is a shortcut, dangerous but huge shortcut!

"Bronze Team, how is the situation?" asked a soldier guarding outside the door.

"Below is a big industrial factory, we also found some biological computers, and some artificial intelligence."

"Close the door first to avoid monsters entering." Lu Yiming swallowed: "This may be our long-term scientific research base in the future. The key construction direction of the engineering team will be here."

"yes!"

Fortunately, this place is not far from the main base. It takes more than 40 kilometers to bring a railway to complete the basic defense facilities in one or two months.

After that, the expert team can officially enter the scientific ruins for investigation.

What made Lu Yiming feel worried was another point.

The question about thinking modification... is too vast and complicated.

...

In the following report meeting, Lu Yiming focused on what the expedition team saw and heard in the ruins of the Akara civilization.

Even though everyone was very mentally prepared, they still felt a lot of shock about this.

"This time, we have gained a lot. The technological creations in the ruins can be transported at will. Except for the biological biological materials of Xia Wenming's artificial intelligence, we can pack and take away everything."

"There are quite a lot of technological creations among them. The number of robots is conservatively estimated to be more than 300,000, and the number of various large machine tools and generators is also tens of thousands. Among them, large tokamak devices were found on the 29th floor."

"This nuclear fusion device should be a project developed by the local Akara civilization, and we have the possibility of imitation."

Xia Wenming's technological products are really too high-end. Without understanding the principles, even if you get the physical objects, you can't understand them.

It’s like people from the Qing Dynasty suddenly got an electronic computer, and at most they could only learn how to use a computer. It was almost impossible to copy and create one by themselves.

However, the technological level of the Akara civilization is much worse than that of the Xia civilization, and for current human beings, it is definitely more meaningful to reference.

It is already very satisfying to find these things by biting the rice.

As long as large-scale nuclear fusion devices are obtained, the energy problem will be completely solved and industrial capacity can be further improved.

"But we did not directly agree or directly reject the requests made by Xia Wenming's artificial intelligence. As long as we help build a fulcrum around the world, all of them will join us. The risks and benefits brought by this need to be evaluated to a certain extent."

"There is also the problem of thinking modification. The development of interstellar civilization is not just the development of productivity, but a comprehensive qualitative change. The society of interstellar civilization is completely different from our current society. It is easy to improve productivity, but it is difficult to change people's thoughts..."

Regarding this, the members in the conference room had a long debate.

Human thinking is actually a very private thing.

Black technology like tampering with thinking...

In fact, it is difficult for most people to accept.

It can even be said to be unacceptable.

"Since that's the case, there is still a big potential problem." One scholar questioned: "Since thinking modification is a shortcut to interstellar civilization, why did the Akara civilization fall rapidly?"

“Shouldn’t they be true interstellar civilizations?”

"Because it involves something called the 'think trap'." Another expert explained: "It's difficult for people to understand themselves,"

"I modified my own thinking. Can I notice it? It's very difficult. Everyone is changing. Not only the body is changing, but the psychology is also changing. I changed to a certain extent in the previous moment and I at the next moment, and I almost couldn't detect it, right?"

"So, everyone is constantly changing."

"The same is true for the rewriting of the concept of thinking. This rewriting is almost undetected. Just like the last time, the concept of the moon was rewritten by a powerful creature, didn't we notice it?"

"So, in the process of long-term thinking fine-tuning, we will slowly rewritten the concept that we think is "bad" and enter a state of perfection that we think is. But in fact, it is just a local optimal solution, not a global optimal solution."

"To give a simple example, the concept of 'freedom' is different from that of Eastern civilization. We think our understanding is better, and they also think their understanding is better. Who is right and who is wrong? Everyone thinks they are right."

"The tolerance for 'marital cheating' is not high at present. If 0 means absolute intolerance and 100 means absolute tolerance, then the current 20 means relatively intolerance."

"If we change it to 100, 'marital affair' will be a natural social phenomenon, just as people are born to breathe and eat, and we have a huge tolerance for it. And we are most likely not to rewrite this thing again, because it is natural and something that everyone accepts, even if our society will be unrecognizable because of the rewriting of this concept."

"I see!"

Lu Yiming gently tapped the table, "You mean, extreme! As long as we rewrite in a certain direction, we may lose the ability to correct ourselves and will always fall into the trap of extremes."

"Yes, the example I just gave is also possible quantification. There are many concepts that cannot be quantified at all, and the complexity of modification is very high."

"There is another point, which is the diversity of thinking... If everyone's thinking is exactly the same, we will lose the diversity of thinking. However, the ability to modify thinking can only modify the specific level, and it cannot involve the macro level."

Tolerance of "marital cheating" is a specific thinking detail that can be fine-tuned. For example, some thinking concepts at the macro level, such as "have dreams", what is a dream? Everyone's dream is completely different, so there is no way to directly modify it.

There is also "must be a positive and corresponding life", how should "positive" be defined? Everyone's work is different and the positive methods are different, so there is no way to directly modify it.

For example, it can define the entire human society. "Get up early and go to bed early" is a positive symbol, and "Get up early and go to bed early" is a kind of thinking detail and can be directly modified.

"After a forced definition, 'get up early and go to bed early' will be promoted at the moral level, but is this really good? It may not be a good thing, nor does it necessarily make the entire society really active."

"So you must find a suitable entry point to fine-tune these macro directions. And the butterfly effect caused by fine-tune remains to be studied."

After being silent for a long time, facing such dangerous but powerful technology, everyone felt like a kindergarten child holding a nuclear bomb, with no control over the nuclear bomb in his hands and could blow himself to death in minutes.

But this is the subject of interstellar civilization!

It's really...incredible.

Finally, in the silence, Ding Yuan sighed and said: "But we still cannot give up this direction. The current population birth rate is declining, the population life expectancy has increased significantly, and the marriage system has become less and less reliable."

"And what... micromutation... can also greatly increase life span. Life span is getting higher and higher, and the consequences are becoming more and more obvious."

"But people still get married and have children at the age of 20 or 30, and they become old husbands and wives at the age of 40 or 50. The cheating rate has increased significantly. This is no longer in line with common sense and even in line with the trend of the times."

The high life span of human beings not only destroys the original marriage system, but also seriously aggravates class solidification.

This is even more serious about social stability.

Leaders are leaders who will be leaders who will be workers who will be workers who will be workers who will be workers who will be in the past? If it were put in the past, the speed of renewal was very fast, and a cycle of 20 years, at most, only three generations are in the job and retired at the age of 60.

But now, people have a higher lifespan. In the same period of 20 years, there are 10 generations of people working in their jobs!

Older people will inevitably gain more innate advantages.

Young and talented people, who have no money and no connections, have to wait for a hundred or two years before they can get into the right position and use their strengths. Obviously, this is not suitable.

A society with a high lifespan will inevitably have more serious class solidification.

These complex social problems have greatly affected the process of human development, and the top leaders of the Cloud Sea Capital really don’t know how to solve it.

"So, let's find a way to study it, form a professional discipline, and study the problems of human ideology in a targeted manner."

"It really doesn't work...it's OK..." Ding Yuan took a deep breath, did not continue, and looked at the distant horizon.

However, everyone understood that Ding Yuan refers to...using those ancient civilizations as experimental samples.

This may be a good thing, or maybe...
Chapter completed!
