Chapter 340 Life and Wisdom

Just like humans and the Nells, humans are ahead of the Nells in many branches of science and technology, but they cannot come up with cable materials that meet the requirements of space elevators, nor can they develop photon computers.

If it were before, humans might still think that this is because there are too few human individuals at present. Of course, the small number of the total population is definitely one reason.

But after learning that the Nells' computers actually took the photon computer route, combined with what the awakener said, human scholars believe that perhaps the thoughts, thinking methods, or wisdom of a race alone cannot break through the barriers that stand in the way of civilization advancement.

Because the rules of the universe are so comprehensive, so broad, and so all-encompassing, and an individual of a civilization or even an entire civilization is just a life in a corner of the universe, composed of some of these materials and with different operating methods.

As the awakener said, wisdom has its limits.

Relying on such intelligent life individuals to explore the technological barriers formed by the numerous and all-encompassing basic laws of the universe is like seeing only a small part of the leopard through a tube. Even if we can see clearly, we can only get some formulas and theorems that are only used in a certain field.

Therefore, if we want to have a more comprehensive glimpse of the true face of various laws of the universe, perhaps the collective wisdom of individuals in this civilization is not enough. We must also let other races think in their own way and from directions that our race has never imagined, so that we can see the full picture of the "leopard" from all angles.

This situation of racial wisdom is manifested in scientific research. If it is placed in people's daily life, it may be like this: the same math problem that two people can do, one person can easily solve it during the exam, but the other suddenly can't think of it, but after a while, he understands it by himself.

Well, this metaphor may not be appropriate, so another description can also be said to be a barrier to knowledge, that is, a phenomenon that hinders individuals from deepening their practice due to focusing on deep pointing and misunderstanding. What this means is not the barrier to knowledge of specific events and things on the surface, but the inherent defects in the thought circuit formed by an intelligent life.

The universe gives life wisdom, but it also traps wisdom in the eternal thought circuit that gave birth to it!

Perhaps it is for this reason that there is the so-called racial talent. After all, if there is no difference, then there is no talent to talk about.

If this guess is correct, then it is not difficult to imagine that the Galactic Axis Alliance, which often broadcasts in the Milky Way and does not let go of even low-level civilizations, must be doing this kind of thing.

And then again, the current Nair people are obviously unwilling to trade their scientists, but the Nair people have never been to any interstellar trading market. This refusal is completely a self-protection of intelligent life individuals after civilization has developed to a certain level and the social order of collective intelligent life individuals has been formed.

No normal intelligent life is willing to turn itself into a commodity for trading, unless this intelligent life individual has been instilled with this or that education since the beginning of the formation of self-consciousness, and then thinks that this is natural. The other situation is involuntary.

However, unless the wisdom of the various civilizations in the universe is natural and flawless, they will eventually need the help of the thought circuits of other races, so conflicts between civilizations arise.

It is certainly the best solution for everyone to open their hearts and communicate, but who can guarantee that you will not do something to me, then destroy my civilization and use the individuals in my civilization as stepping stones for your civilization to advance!

In this way, the awakener may also be constantly improving his "wisdom" in his own way. The name of the awakener comes from awakening the fallen civilization, so this method is very likely related to the fallen civilization.

And the harvester, I think, is doing the same thing, but in a different way.

The communication between civilizations is beneficial to the development of both sides, but there are also huge risks. After all, no one knows whether you will stab me in the back after you make progress after the communication and turn me into the nutrient to complete your "wisdom".

This may be the reason why the top civilizations in the Milky Way do not seem to communicate with each other!

Now that humans have been rejected by the Nair civilization for asking for scientists, they have also glimpsed the dirty things between cosmic civilizations from the related information, and thus to a certain extent supplemented and improved their own cosmic sociology.

Of course, all these inferences are based on human beings' current judgment of the civilization form composed of intelligent life in the universe.

So, what is this foundation?

Undoubtedly, it is a civilization composed of collective intelligent life.

So far, humans have not encountered any single civilization. Yes, although the awakener appeared in the form of a battleship, they were not a single civilization, that was just one of their battleships.

The top existences in the Milky Way, except for the Reapers, other top existences such as the Galactic Axis Alliance, the Perseus Community, and the Silicon-based Federation, do not look like single civilizations just by looking at the names.

In addition, there are civilizations that humans have directly or indirectly contacted, such as the Mok Star Civilization, the Kuntai Civilization, and the current Nair Civilization, which are undoubtedly technological civilizations composed of individuals.

Even the indigenous dog-headed people are collective intelligent life.

If it were not for self-knowledge, knowing that they were just a civilization that had just ventured into the universe for a short time, humans would doubt that the only civilization in the universe was a collective technological civilization.

Not only that, characters that often appear in science fiction movies, such as Zerg, planetary consciousness, demons, and space monsters, have never been heard of by humans.

If humans knew that these things existed, then the current perfect cosmic sociological model would have to be further optimized or torn down and rebuilt.

As for the problem that they have only encountered group technological civilization for the time being, anthropologists have several inferences.

One is that the mainstream life form in the universe is the birth of life by social species. Second, social species are more likely to break through filters and form civilizations by collective wisdom. Third, other forms of civilization have been destroyed. Fourth, humans simply have not encountered other forms of civilization.

Of course, no matter which one it is, it is a matter for the future. What humans have to do now is to wait for the Ner people to reply and then continue to fool them into trading.

It is not enough to see the reaction of the Ner people. It is estimated that it is very difficult to buy their scientists. Humans are also very clear about this.

But it doesn't matter. After all, in the human plan, there is not much hope for this. If scientists cannot be purchased, then the next best thing is to find a way to buy some ordinary or even criminal Ner people.
