Chapter 472: Chapter 470: The Ideology of a Level 5 Civilization

Five days later, the other party seemed to have roughly reviewed the knowledge sent by humanity and sent a message, "We are very grateful to you, human civilization. We have traded relevant technology with quite a lot of interstellar civilizations, but from a theoretical standpoint, your papers seem to be the most sincere and more applicable to our brains..."

"This part of the content is enough for us to digest for a while."

"We hope that we both can gain something in return. The last 2.4 AmiBa Points, we will send to you. Please be ready to receive them..."

After a series of transmitting and receiving operations, some strange little programs appeared on the human AmiBa Points receiver, and the number displayed on the screen was indeed 2.4 AmiBa Points.

After finishing these matters, the diplomat from the Tos Civilization seemed to be in a fairly good mood and added, "As a result of this transaction, we will also do our best to answer your questions, including some cosmic common knowledge..."

These were all agreed upon content, and the other party had no need to renege on its promise at the last moment. However, after a few seconds, they added, "Of course, within feasible limits. There are many things we also do not know, and some are classified information for which your civilization would need to pay AmiBa Points to access."

The entire human diplomatic team deliberated for a while and decided to first inquire with the Noah Faction’s "Alef Civilization" as to what exactly was going on.

A religious civilization that habitually assimilates others—no matter how cautious, it was not too much.

After a few minutes, the other party responded, "We apologize, but we rarely get news about the Alef Civilization... We’re just a newly promoted Third-level Civilization, in existence for only forty thousand years, with limited awareness of Level 5 Civilizations."

"The Alef Civilization has never come to this interstellar trading market to engage. It’s likely an extragalactic civilization from outside the Milky Way. Based on available information, only civilizations above Level 5 are capable of crossing galaxy borders..."

"We conjecture that the Alef Civilization is at least a Level 5 Civilization."

"As for the Noah Faction behind it, we don’t know much. We don’t even know if the Alef Civilization belongs to the Noah Faction. After all, these civilizations are not likely all from the same system; there are conflicts among them."

"...If you need more detailed information, you can pay for consulting the host of this trading market, the Huantai Civilization."

Hearing the mention of payment, everyone was not very willing. Zhang Yuan furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

The answer was not satisfying. The information provided by the Tos People was already known or speculated by humans.

Humanity was too poor now, and if they could learn some free information, they would seek as much as possible. They had to be selective with everything. The hard-earned AmiBa Points, gained through the bedrock of human technology, could not be squandered carelessly.

After a while, humans sent another message, "On our way to this trading market, we discovered two low-level civilizations assimilated by the ’Alef Civilization.’ These civilizations, as if influenced by a religion, are very different from normal civilizations. They speak the same language, use the same technology..."

"Aren’t you worried about this? It shows that such interstellar civilizations are very close to us."

"Nobody wants their civilization to be assimilated by another. Although the civilizations discovered so far are low-level, a Level 5 Civilization assimilating a third-level one is also theoretically no problem."

After a while, the other party replied, "Indeed, this is a major issue, but pondering such problems isn’t very meaningful! In the Milky Way, there are actually quite a few civilizations like the Alef Civilization, not just religious ones, but also non-religious civilizations that make the same moves."

"In the past two hundred thousand years, newly promoted Level 5 Civilizations like the Deep Red Industrial Union habitually export revolutions; the Green Star Civilization also has a tendency to assimilate the ideologies of low-level civilizations... These are not traditional religious civilizations, but they will still interfere because low-level civilizations do certain things poorly."

"Some civilizations within the Gaia Faction also like to casually assist some low-level civilizations, which in fact reflects different ideologies..."

"Ideological conflicts are the most significant conflicts in the Milky Way!"

"Most Level 5 Civilizations modify their driving forces for progression in pursuit of a longer-term advancement. Once Genetic Philosophy is altered, the entire civilization’s mindset, including that of all individuals, will be completely different from that of a naturally born civilization."

"There will inevitably be conflict points that are contradictory among factions; this contradiction is the core of their hostility and is irreconcilable..."

This statement caused an uproar! The meeting room buzzed with excitement.

Even Zhang Yuan felt a profound shock in his heart.

That is to say, this Tos Civilization believes that one Alef Civilization isn’t much; one more or one less makes no difference. The Level 5 Civilizations in the Milky Way all have this kind of attitude, giving off an odd sense that "the more debts, the less worry; the more lice, the less itch."

Staying in this interstellar trading market meant safety.

But for everyone present, the world suddenly seemed much more dangerous.

But why would Level 5 Civilizations do this? Why engage in a do-or-die struggle?

People pondered for quite some time and discussed a potential answer.

However, in the end, they inquired again, "May we ask you another question, why are the ideologies of Level 5 Civilizations completely different from those of civilizations like ours?"

The other party answered, "Yes, the ideologies of Level 5 Civilizations are different from those of life that evolved from primitive eras, which we think is easy to comprehend..."

"Conventional life habitually saves its own energy. Laziness is the natural state of life; life that wasn’t lazy would have been eliminated during the primitive era. This trait has continued into the interstellar era, rooted deeply in genes, and is difficult to expunge."

"This results in many civilizations, over the long river of time, eventually losing their drive to advance. This includes interstellar civilizations... Over hundreds of thousands, millions of years without any progress, a multitude of Sinking Civilizations are born..."

Sinking Civilizations, as the name suggests, are civilizations past their prime, with declining strengths. Like the once great Qing Dynasty, the once mighty Sun Never Sets Empire, the once powerful United States...

Eternal progress is incredibly difficult.

These civilizations will ultimately have various internal conflicts and become increasingly chaotic.

"But then again, no one sees their own civilization as a Sinking Civilization. Self-recognition is truly not an easy thing."

These are common knowledge in the trading market, so even if given to humanity now, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

The Tos Civilization continued, "But many Level 5 Civilizations, by modifying their genetic driving forces, have developed their own pure beliefs to propel themselves forward continuously. After modifying their genes, their way of thinking will be completely different from that of normal civilizations, reducing the chances of becoming Sinking Civilizations to almost zero."
