The Birth of the Great Dog Civilization
Technological advancements have brought about rapid development in society, and faith in the God of Light has become the mainstream in the Dog-Headed People world. However, it is not a feudal or superstitious belief, because the kingdoms of the Dog-Headed People world tend to portray the God of Light as a 'God of Light Civilization,' an Alien Civilization is very benevolent to the Dog-Headed People.
Although they had never met and there was no image of the God of Light in the base's records, the Dog-Headed People still created an image for humanity from fragments of history: the Tactical Armor that humans wore when they first arrived in the Dog-Headed People world.
The two Tactical Armor stone sculptures are now displayed in the museum of the Rockfire Nation.
The Dog-Headed People probably already believe that their God of Light is a giant species that is over ten meters tall. I wonder what they will think when they actually encounter humans and discover that humans are creatures smaller than them.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At this stage, the Dog-Headed People are still striving forward. The technology they have obtained from human bases has rapidly improved their living standards, and the rapid improvement in their living standards and the gradual enrichment of their material possessions have also made the Dog-Headed People society more confident.
Especially after entering the Information Age, the entire planet's orbit is filled with Dog-Made Satellite networks, and ground network communication has become extremely developed. Dog-Headed People even use satellite phones, and various electronic products have emerged one after another. In the technological path of touch screens, they even skipped the development of resistive screens and went straight to using capacitive screens.
Some of these contributions came from human-based technological data, while others were created by the Dog-Headed People scientists themselves.
This greatly boosted the confidence of the Dog-Headed People scientists, especially Dog-Headed People many independent innovations in computers, because it meant that the Dog-Headed People themselves had the ability to innovate, rather than relying solely on the wealth of the God of Light Civilization for development.
The Dog-Headed People society was delighted with this and became even more confident.
Based on this, some Dog-Headed People even believe that they may not need the subsequent knowledge left by the God of Light to leave space on their own.
Of course, "venturing into space" here doesn't mean setting foot in space to travel to another Star System, but rather exploring within their own Star System. The Dog-Headed People's goal is clear: to independently develop spacecraft and reach the only remaining Gaseous Planet in their system.
They didn't just plan to send spacecraft; they also intended to send people—no, dogs. However, once they entered the Information Age, acquired space technology, and set foot in Low Earth Orbit, they realized just how difficult space travel truly is.
Launching probes is a completely different technological challenge compared to Dog-Carrying Spaceflight. While the Gravitational Acceleration of their home planet is much lower than that of Earth, the atmospheric density is much higher. Therefore, launching a rocket is relatively easy, but the required high-temperature resistant materials are far more advanced, especially considering the need for round-trip travel for Dog-Carrying Spaceflight.
This undoubtedly dampened the Dog-Headed People's plan to send their dogs to Gaseous Planet within their Star System. As a result, many Dog-Headed People suggested abandoning their own research and instead obtaining technical data directly from the God of Light's Residence. However, this was ultimately suppressed by the Dog-Headed People had initially proposed independent research and development of some technologies, and they were given a deadline for the plan.
The Dog-Headed People are quite principled. They know that the bases left by humans have this technology, and they can clearly see it at this stage, but they still want to set up their own independent development project to try it out first, seemingly to prove the development potential of their race's civilization.
This is certainly commendable, but it has also greatly delayed the progress of development.
In fact, when the Dog-Headed People established their independent research department, the teams that were originally dedicated to gaining knowledge from the God of Light's Residence had already obtained the relevant 'Dog-Carrying Spaceflight' technology, but they did not use it, instead giving that independent team some time.
In the end, however, the Dog-Headed People compromised because they realized that a single independent team was not enough to handle the 'Dog-Carrying Spaceflight' plan. The reason was simple: most scientists, Research Personnel, and engineers were now involved in the Heaven's Gate Exploration Project, leaving too few people to conduct independent research.
At this moment, the Dog-Headed People gained a deeper understanding of the difficulties of scientific development.
Many Dog-Headed People scientists lamented that without the base left by the God of Light Civilization, it might have taken them hundreds of years to master Dog-Carrying Spaceflight technology, and achieving anything in basic science would have been entirely a matter of luck, with no idea when they would see results.
It's impossible to know the technology first and then use the technology to determine the field of reverse engineering principles, as is the case now. Having a traceable path and not having a traceable path are two completely different things.
Ordinary Dog-Headed People may not know this, but their scientists or scholars who are knowledgeable in the field have realized it. Sometimes they can't understand how the legendary God of Light Civilization found these basic scientific principles from the vast laws of the universe, starting from nothing.
That is the truth, the truth of the universe.
The more the Dog-Headed People learned about the God of Light Civilization base, the more they could feel the hardship behind all these scientific technologies. Whenever their scientists explored the ocean of knowledge, they seemed to see the countless individual lives of the 'God of Light Civilization' working day and night to explore this knowledge behind every bit of knowledge.
Understanding hardship and difficulty is why the Dog-Headed People proclaimed "knowledge is priceless." They hold the utmost respect for scientists who truly possess knowledge and who can find knowledge in nature.
This change was social; that is, the Dog-Headed People society gradually shifted towards "respect for knowledge." Moreover, the transmission of knowledge in their society gradually became a sacred matter.
As this wind of 'respect for knowledge' swept across the entire Dog-Headed People Planet, their social structure naturally changed, and public opinion shifted in this direction. This led to a significant weakening of the hedonistic atmosphere, a sharp decline in the status of Dog-Headed People in entertainment facilities and celebrities, and their replacement by Dog-Headed People with various academic degrees and titles.
Gradually, the Dog-Headed People began to take pride in their erudition and to be ashamed of their pursuit of entertainment and pleasure.
Such a society is well-suited for scientific development, because even though the Dog-Headed People have entered the information age, they won't experience the kind of nonsense where a Dog-Headed People entertainment star can make headlines just by farting.
The bases left behind by humans have unknowingly altered the course of the Dog-Headed People's development, impacting Dog-Headed People not only in science and technology but also in every aspect of Dog-Headed People lives.
It is unclear when exactly, Dog-Headed People finally resolved to popularize Chinese characters. At the same time, the group led by the Rockfire Nation further explained the concept of 'civilization' and gave their own race a name.
Similar to how humans refer to their own Human Civilization.
If translated into human language, it could probably be called the Great Dog Civilization.
