Building a Spiritual Civilization

"Freedom, happiness, sense of Sense of Crisis, sense of honor, sense of responsibility, and sense of mission"—at a Social Science seminar, a social science expert spoke eloquently on stage.

"Freedom is one of the keys to ensuring people's pioneering spirit. We need to give people greater freedom, including access to non-mainstream secondary warships, planetary exploration, space exploration, and Tactical Armor authorization. Most people will no longer be confined to their Residential Spaceship."

We could even open channels to several Affiliated Races, allowing those who apply to travel to their Affiliated Races for observation. These observations would no longer be limited to using robots; capable individuals could pilot their own Tactical Armor. Of course, regarding this, we need to establish a robust interaction mechanism to ensure that neither race suffers significant losses due to cross-infection of microorganisms.

"Regarding happiness, we can develop some residential projects, not limited to traditional Residential Spaceship, but also including small and medium-sized Residential Spaceship. These spaceships can be independently owned by citizens. In other words, in addition to the basic housing allocated by the New Government, our citizens can also own their own private spaceships through their own efforts."

These spaceships could be Lake-class. With our current technological capabilities, we can certainly build Sea-Class Residential Spaceship to accommodate Lake-class ships and resupply them throughout the civilization. Citizens with private spaceships could freely navigate their own ships within areas that do not endanger human safety. In addition, I believe we should expand the living space for residents within the limits of our technology. Comfortable and spacious living conditions are also conducive to improving people's sense of well-being.

"Sense of Crisis, from a macro perspective, requires us to constantly remind ourselves that humanity is still at the bottom of the Cosmic Civilizations Aerospace Civilization, that we are still a spacefaring civilization— Low-level Civilization. The universe remains full of dangers, and countless unknown advanced civilizations still hang over our heads like the Sword of Damocles. The road ahead is long and arduous, especially internally. I believe we can add some measures to the existing competition, such as expanding our competition beyond humanity itself. We can establish a platform that includes scientific papers, technological discussions, new inventions, and new discoveries—all of which can encompass the achievements of outstanding scientists from the Nair People, Kuntai People, Dog-Headed People, and Crimson Flame Civilizations. We can use scientific output value to roughly measure these indicators. The specific formula for scientific output value is... We can use this method to compare our own scientific output value with that of several vassal races, thus constantly reminding ourselves where we are falling short in scientific development and reflecting on our path of scientific progress."

For example, if one day our scientific output falls below that of our Affiliated Races, then we should reflect on whether there is a problem with our education, whether we have lost our pioneering spirit, whether we have begun to decline, or whether our race has truly exhausted its potential.

Another advantage of doing this is that, over the long term, we will obtain various data on the technological development of different races. Perhaps, we can use this method to explore what so-called Racial Talent is all about.

"A sense of honor."

"Sense of responsibility"

Despite his thirst and lack of enthusiasm, the social scientist, driven by a sense of mission, continued speaking at the conference, "We humans should establish a new Cosmic View to define the grand goal of our Human Civilization's existence within the universe. We have survived; what should we do in the future? Where should we go? What are our goals? What are we ultimately destined to achieve?"

"Based on existing theories and information obtained from other civilizations, I believe that there must be a secret hidden deep in this universe, a secret that all Level Six Civilization are eager to pursue. That is why powerful civilizations like the Awakeners are willing to cross the sea of stars to come to the Milky Way Galaxy."

The Awakeners once said that only those who reach the Level Six Civilization are qualified to embark on that path. Now we have found this information in the Crimson Flame Civilization's database: the Great Voyage. This seems to be a consensus among the Level Six Civilization.

We are certainly not qualified to return to our former glory yet, but we can set a grand the Great Voyage as our ultimate goal. In the process of achieving this goal, we need to strive diligently, explore the path of human Human Civilization, and at the same time, fulfill our historical mission.

Everyone knows what this social scientist meant by his historical mission: to find the culprit that destroyed the Solar System.

At this moment, the social science expert looked up and symbolically glanced at the hundreds of people in the room, then said, "Once we have determined our grand goal, it can serve as a reference for the behavior of our Human Civilization. In the future, when we come into contact with other civilizations, perhaps we can first ask ourselves whether our actions are in the best interests of our grand goal."

"A long time ago, Academician Gan De proposed the Cosmic Evolution Theory. He believed that the universe did not continuously increase entropy and degenerate as people previously thought, until the entropy value reached its maximum limit, and then the universe became disordered and destroyed, and everything returned to a deathly silence."

Regarding the fact that this view violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, he believes that the universe has two arrows: one is a closed system governed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the other is an open, non-equilibrium system that is constantly increasing its Negative Entropy.

"However, I don't think so. There is indeed a factor in my dislike of the word 'evolution,' but it is more about the relationship between Cosmic Civilizations that I deduced from Academician Gan's theory."

According to his view, it's not difficult to deduce that the evolution of the universe is a continuous process towards harmony and order, with all things flourishing and developing from lower to higher levels and from simple to complex. Furthermore, it can be inferred that Cosmic Civilizations coexist harmoniously and that truth, goodness, and beauty permeate the universe.

"Although it's only one possible deduction, I believe it's flawed because its excessive emphasis makes the Great Universe seem like a subjective entity. I still maintain that the universe operates on a constant cycle, and that Sentient Life's gazing at the stars and the development of civilization should be a spontaneous act of life's desire to explore the unknown and to become more advanced."

The social scientist spoke for about four hours. The first two hours were mainly spent Chen Shu his own views, and the latter part was about some specific methods for building human spiritual civilization and various policies on subordinate civilizations.

The general idea is to establish a correct Cosmic View, enabling humanity to possess a spiritual civilization commensurate with its long lifespan, while also avoiding the misconception that the universe is truly good and beautiful, and constantly guarding against civilizations that harbor malice towards humanity.

Finally, he also requested that the conference hold a vote to include the grand goal of Human Civilization in the General Program.
