Chapter 776: Laenino Civilization

If the Lainino civilization is divided according to the conventional interstellar hierarchy, it can be regarded as a first-level civilization. It has the ability to travel between planets and can mine extraterrestrial resources.

And this is a civilization with a long history, a long history of more than one million years.

However, since the invention of controllable nuclear fusion technology, this civilization has gradually lost its momentum. As for the invention of controllable nuclear fusion, it may have been more than 900,000 years ago... This is the case with the conventional perisher civilization. After a period of rapid development, it has been in a state of stagnation for a long time, and the whole people are obsessed with the development of pseudoscience. .

The so-called pseudoscience refers to some disciplines that are difficult to explain in fundamental principles, or are simply wrong, but many people are willing to believe.

Low-end pseudoscience includes perpetual motion machines, bugs appearing out of thin air, and empiricism that eggs and milk cannot be mixed; high-end pseudoscience includes quantum mysticism, cardiac stem cells, N-rays, and other academic frauds made by well-known scholars Behavior.

If no one exposes academic fraud, everyone is addicted to pseudoscience and cannot extricate themselves, civilization will naturally stop progressing, and even a small number of people who want to uphold justice will often be submerged in the vast ocean of people's war because they have too little voice among……

In fact, the technology of the first-level civilization is enough to meet the needs of the people. Even if the development is slow, it is nothing. They have controllable nuclear fusion technology, the most basic artificial intelligence, primary medical materials, and have certain space development capabilities. Population growth Stagnation, no worries about food and clothing, in this situation where productivity is far greater than demand, what else is worth developing?

The so-called "scientific progress" is nothing more than an excuse fabricated to paralyze the minds of the people at the bottom... As long as this excuse still exists, there will still be a small amount of class flow, even if this flow relies on deceitful pseudoscience , is also better than not flowing at all.

In a long-term stable and peaceful environment, the Laenino civilization has developed a total of one and a half extraterrestrial planets. Half of it is a gaseous planet in the surrounding area, that is, the nuclear fuel depot, and the other is naturally the red companion star in the surrounding area...

It is not uncommon for such a situation to occur. In the case of a low population growth rate, there is really no need to develop every planet. Occupy more unnecessary territory, why bother?

If there is no great benefit, there is no need to do these things.

There are 26 hidden ruling families in civilization. Although the governments of various countries seem to be democratically elected, there are always these 26 families behind them. They have manipulated public opinion and capital, and the so-called president and prime minister are nothing but the spokespersons of capital.

Because power is difficult to inherit, and the personal abilities of each individual are very different. Individuals with poor abilities will be in bad luck if they inherit power.

Therefore, these ruling families generally do not face the people directly. This choice is smart.

But wealth is much simpler to inherit. After a long period of capital development, most of the property on the entire planet is monopolized by these 26 families. Coupled with the gradual cessation of technological progress, the families that were originally fighting for life and were hostile to each other have become harmonious with each other...

The world is already peaceful, and productivity is far greater than demand, as long as each manages its own territory well. The long-lost peace happened on this planet. As long as public opinion is well controlled, 26 families can rule this civilization permanently.

Such a peaceful day seems to last for a hundred thousand years, a million years, forever.

Even, with the passage of time, the various big families have become more enlightened under the struggle with each other, and have distributed a lot of wealth that they could not enjoy to the public, including low-rent housing, relief meals, and basic social welfare systems. Life on this planet is very simple, as long as one person works hard, he can support a large family.

In the eyes of these rulers, these properties cannot be used up by themselves, and they can still win the support of the people, so why not do it?

Coupled with the abundance of electronic chemical hormones, it can bring the cheapest form of entertainment, so the overall happiness of individuals in the Laenino civilization is surprisingly high, and the overall crime rate is also very low...

This is also the standard status quo of many civilizations of the fallen... Whether it is a civilization of the fallen has nothing to do with the happiness of the people.

"Ah, every time I come to this space port located at the Lagrange point, I feel the power of the entire civilization! We have actually built such a huge space observation device, the power of collective cooperation is really great!"

"Yes, thousands of years ago, this spaceport at the Lagrangian point was still in the planning stage, but now, in the hands of our generation, it is finally completed."

This space port was built by 26 families with collective funding recently, and it can be regarded as the largest interstellar transportation transfer station for this civilization.

Several noble children of the Laenino civilization are feeling the greatness of technology.

"Praise technology, praise cooperation."

"Yes, the most important thing is cooperation."

They boarded a spaceship, went to the red companion star next door, and started chatting casually: "I heard that in recent years, the number of users of C-type electronic hormones has increased again, and the cycle of death once in hundreds of years is coming again. Ahh... these populations will be eliminated soon after all, and then a new batch will be replaced. When I first heard about this, I thought they were quite pitiful..."

These intelligent beings look a bit like orangutans, with two hands and two legs, and a small amount of clothing on their bodies, which shows that they have a concept of shame similar to humans. The concept of shame can be associated with moral values, so this is a species with empathy.

A Lainino made a shooting motion, "Poor? The reincarnation of death is what they asked for... I once contacted homeless people on the roadside and asked them whether they want to live in a better environment or want to live in a better environment." Want to take a little e-hormone every day? If they want to live in low-rent housing, I can give some money to subsidize them."

"But the vast majority of homeless people choose e-hormone! They say they are voluntary!"

"So... choosing this kind of life has nothing to do with us, it's just what they asked for."

"Your Excellency Aoun, you are really kind, and you will pay attention to those homeless people."

"Hey, let's not talk about this, I am looking forward to fighting bugs now, Amani, what new weapon has your family developed?"

"Of course, there is a sharp knife that rotates and vibrates at a high speed, which can easily cut through the body of insects, and there is also an electromagnetic ejection shell, which we call a high-magnet gun... Hehe, you will know where you are anyway!"
