Chapter 363 Justice on the surface
After 44 years of interstellar voyage, humans finally arrived at the destination of this stop, Riley Star.
On this planet, the power of the divine power and the power of the kingdom have been firmly tied together for millions of years. Due to religious conflicts and historical hatred, the war between the kingdom breaks out almost every few years, and the soldiers fight fiercely, blood flowing into a river!
For the Riley civilization, which did not have science and technology, there was naturally no individual who could see the arrival of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet with its naked eyes. At most, it could only barely see the dim ion engine, and then mistakenly think it was a small star.
In this planetary system, the main star in the center is a yellow dwarf about 5.4 billion years old, with a luminous intensity of 92% of the sun, which is very suitable for the birth of life.
Riley Star's geographical location and climate are quite similar to that of the Earth. It is located in the habitable zone of the planetary system, with a large amount of water resources, light green land, yellow deserts, snow-capped plateaus, and the North and South Poles with thick ice layers.
The only difference is that the atmosphere is slightly thicker, about 123% of the earth, while the oxygen content is only 7.2%...
The oxygen content of 7.2% can barely support the aerobic respiration of living organisms, but it is not possible to burn on a large scale. Except for a small number of materials with high reductionism, such as white phosphorus, which can be burned in such low-oxygen environments, wood fibers are difficult to ignite.
In other words, for this civilization, flame is a very rare thing, but it is not completely gone, so naturally there is no real technology. Even when it reaches the Bronze Age, it can only be said to be careless.
To be on the precaution, humans launched some probes to this planet in advance. Even if the other party is just a low-level civilization, the necessary caution should still be...
These detectors soon transmitted the general information of the planet back.
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 at present, which may be related to environmental changes and the components of the entire planet."
"However, we can make a certain degree of deduction based on the 4.6 billion years of evolution of the earth."
"According to the evolutionary laws of the earth, the period when the oxygen content in the earth's atmosphere was the end of the Carboniferous Age to the beginning of the Permian period, reaching an oxygen concentration of 35%. At this time, dinosaurs had not appeared yet... On the contrary, the ancestors of dinosaurs, the main dragon, rose from the Permian mass extinction period when oxygen content fell to 12%.
"As a result, by the Triassic period, the oxygen content increased significantly, so dinosaurs evolved to grow bigger and bigger."
"So, according to the evolutionary laws of the earth, if it is a little more extreme, it will be fine, and the oxygen content will drop to 7.2%. We are very interested in the evolution of these intelligent lives...it is speculated that their size will not be very large."
"Sir Captain, if possible, I apply to collect biological specimens from this planet."
"Mr. Captain, I apply to inspect the geographical environment and humanistic culture of this planet to provide real samples for creating a virtual world."
During this landing meeting, many scientists were very enthusiastic about presenting the long-prepared proposal.
The planet that people currently choose to mine directly is a bare and atmospheric planet located outside the planetary system. After all, the other party is a smart civilization, and it is necessary to have (respect) and caution. But the most important thing is that this atmospheric planet is easiest to develop and can avoid microbial pollution, that's it.
However, since this civilization does not have much threat, problems such as scientific research are just trivial matters.
Zhang Yuan and others have the biggest disagreement. How do you view this type of low-level civilization that has fallen into the trap of mediocrity?
Zhang Yuan said seriously on the stage: "Everyone, don't take it for granted that civilizations that are inferior to us can be freely merciless and randomly urged the population to conduct experiments. We must maintain the moral order of civilization itself and the superficial justice..."
"... Be careful, these justices are not for other civilizations, but for our own citizens."
"All our actions will become history and have an impact on future ideology."
Zhang Yuan stood on the stage and said these words that looked a bit "hypocritical" without changing his face.
What does it mean?
Humans themselves are a very contradictory creature. For example, cats and dogs will be regarded as objects of living experiments by humans and conduct a series of experiments in biological laboratories. However, it does not affect some people's love of cats and dogs and the animal protection association will be formed.
However, will the Animal Protection Association protest the serious scientific experiment? Perhaps, but this is true and few people support it.
The Kunlun Mountains has a population of eight million, and the people are already wise, and the vast majority of people are still relatively kind under the influence of the environment.
They allowed a certain level of biological science research, but were disgusted with random massacres.
This is what is called "surface justice".
This kind of superficial justice is necessary for a civilization. Because everyone feels that they are just, not evil, to gain inner peace.
Human beings are hypocritical creatures. If everyone’s actions nakedly reveal the evil that belongs to human nature itself, 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 at the commanding heights of morality can make oneself feel at ease.
"So, with regard to the lower diplomacy, we must have our own code of conduct, not the east and the west. What the people should be instilled with is not justice itself, but a way of dealing with the entire civilization..."
Of course, this diplomatic code of conduct is not fixed. It can be very flexible and seek truth from facts according to local conditions. But overall, we must give the people a sense of steadfastness and make them naturally think, "Oh, we must be the party of justice! We love peace and friendly human civilization!"
"We don't bully the weak, nor do we do a massacre!"
This is enough.
However, this kind of "civilization and justice" cannot be cultivated in one or two days. You must have contact with more civilizations and have enough historical precipitation to all people develop this mentality and develop a spiritual strength from the heart.
Li Zhendong clapped his hands secretly, "So that's it. In fact, it is to cultivate a reasonable worldview and values among interstellar citizens with the help of low-level civilizations..."
"Only when the majority of the population agrees with the values of their own civilization, we can go further on the interstellar stage. This is a very reasonable thing in itself."
Most people understood Zhang Yuan's meaning, and many scientists who submitted the proposal nodded cautiously and agreed to this view.
