Voyage of the Stars

According to Adeli, a semi-Gaia life, the Adeli civilization was simply caught in an unexpected disaster. They believed in the first level 5 civilization they came into contact with, but they were used as an experiment by that level 5 civilization in their fantasy of harmonious coexistence, so that the entire civilization was wiped out.

It was also Adeli civilization's bad luck that it had developed to level 4 civilization without encountering any alien civilization, and the first one it encountered was a high-level civilization, and such an evil civilization. Perhaps it cannot be called an evil civilization. After all, from the perspective of that level 5 civilization, what they did was in the interests of their civilization. For them, using the entire Adeli civilization as an experiment might not be a big deal.

Just like when humans defeated the Kuntai civilization, they wiped out the Kuntai people of the Kuntai civilization fleet and left only their newborns. Humans did not think they were evil. Of course, humans were also suspicious at that time, and always had persecution delusions. Besides, that was the safest way. If they had not done that at that time, perhaps humans would now be in a small universe in the Silver Heart Alliance.

There is no if.

Now, humans will not only use their own moral values ​​to measure the behavior of other civilizations. There is no good or evil in this universe. It is just the conclusion drawn by humans using their own moral values ​​to measure other civilizations.

Perhaps as far as the fifth-level civilization is concerned, what they did was the most correct and just behavior. Perhaps the culture of their civilization is like this. Their individual life forms may be the kind of existence that devours their own kind. When they set foot in the starry sky, they naturally think that it is natural to destroy other civilizations.

Humans have come into contact with many civilizations and are no longer the pure rookie who just set foot in the starry sky.

Let’s not talk about the distant past. Take the Chiyan civilization as an example. Their individual lives think it is normal for large factories to hatch life offspring. As for whose offspring they are, they don’t care at all. In their civilization, there will be no ethical issues like humans.

In their view, human ethics, such as father-son, brother-sister, and family, are very backward.

Each civilization has its own ecology, and the various concepts of civilization individuals affected by the ecological environment are very deep-rooted. Therefore, humans do sympathize with the semi-Gaia life Adley from their own moral values ​​and define the fifth-level civilization as an evil civilization.

But that's all!

Humans have gone through a lot. Even if Yue Yuan wanted to, others would not agree to help another civilization out of pity and empathy, unless humans are really strong enough to help at will, in which case everyone would be happy.

In the final analysis, we must put the survival and development of humans first.

And even if humans want to help now, they are powerless, just as Adley, the half-Gaia life, said, he wanted humans to help take him away, but humans couldn't take him away at all.

With human technology now, it is possible to destroy a planet, but it is impossible to take a planet away intact. It is true that humans have heavy nuclear fusion technology, and it is also true that this technology can be used to manufacture planetary engines. Humans can even manufacture super-large magnetic thrusters with more powerful thrust. Installing them on the planet can definitely push the entire planet away.

Then what?

There is no then. This kind of propulsion cannot even reach the speed of light, not to mention that the strong thrust will bring a strong impact force, and the plates of the planet may not be able to withstand it. Even if the planet can withstand it, the biosphere on the planet will definitely not survive. Without the biosphere, Gaia life will die.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to take away a life planet by conventional propulsion. It is necessary to use a planetary warp engine as Adeli, a half-Gaia life, said, and install a small sun in the planetary orbit when packing and taking it away.

Next, Adeli, a half-Gaia life, is still talking, and humans are listening. He is still talking about the Adeli civilization that he remembers.

However, he himself did not completely inherit the memory of every Adeli person, so he spoke a little intermittently, and some places could not be continued at all, especially the history of Adeli civilization before the fourth-level civilization, which he basically did not know. What he remembered most was that Adeli civilization was persecuted by the fifth-level civilization.

He also talked about many things he knew about the fifth-level civilization and Gaia life experiments.

According to him, the direct reason why the fifth-level civilization wanted to conduct such a cruel experiment was to study the technology of consciousness uploading. They wanted to perfectly upload the consciousness of organisms to computers, so as to achieve immortality and long life.

The essence is to study the eternal problems of life.

And this kind of research may cause two side effects, one is the second intelligent machine crisis, and the other is the decline of civilization.

That being said, Adli, a half-Gaia life, does not know the specific reasons for the side effects. He just tells humans what he remembers.

However, humans are quick-witted. Although they don't have a glimpse of the whole picture, they can guess a little. The so-called second intelligent machine crisis is nothing more than a crisis caused by those who turned into robots when studying the technology of uploading consciousness. From this point of view, the fifth-level civilization is not a silicon-based creature.

The second point about the decline of civilization is a little difficult to guess, but this information has alerted humans. Because a long time ago, humans heard from the awakeners that they awakened the fallen civilization to obtain some intelligent life that awakened the third-person dream, and then turned them into their own people.

On the whole, it seems that when reaching the fifth level of civilization, some civilizations will evolve into degenerate civilizations. The reason why they become degenerate civilizations is related to the research on consciousness uploading to obtain eternal life.

In the minds of ordinary people, replacing the body perfectly with a machine can achieve mechanical ascension and thus obtain eternal life. Humans used to think so, but with the continuous increase of knowledge, humans have realized that simply uploading consciousness to a mechanical body cannot make life eternal.

There is no reason why the fifth-level civilization with stronger and more advanced technology cannot realize what humans can realize. After all, the fifth-level civilization has the technological foundation for studying the field of spiritual consciousness. As long as the fifth-level civilization points out this technology tree, it will definitely know.

The eternal existence of life is not only the eternal existence of the body, but also the synchronization of spiritual consciousness. After becoming a mechanical body, the thinking organ is also replaced, and the machine will also break down, so it is necessary to constantly replace the body with consciousness uploading technology.

But who can guarantee that every time the body is replaced, the consciousness representing "I" will not gradually weaken in the process and finally disappear?
