Super Mothership

Earth orbit.

"Hey~" A passage was opened in the lower abdomen of the Sea Wolf, and an invisible small shuttle gradually showed its shape and slowly entered the Sea Wolf. Then the passage was closed, and the Sea Wolf disappeared into the void again.

Nie Yun got off the shuttle, floated all the way back to the captain's room, and just sat on the captain's chair, the devouring of the two alien probes was just about to end, and he immediately began to digest the two probes with all his strength. .

Unsurprisingly, the central control core and data storage equipment of the two detectors did not encounter the one in a million unlucky probability of being destroyed by the atomic-level cutting line!

After analysis, there is not much data stored in the detector, and the other party is obviously not stupid enough to put any confidential information in two ordinary detectors.

Under the analysis of massive computing power, Nie Yun soon got the first harvest - "Earth Civilization Observation Diary"!

This earth observation diary contains a lot of content, including the development and changes of large urban agglomerations on the earth, energy burst levels, large-scale geological changes, radio communication monitoring data, space vehicle trajectory records and other information captured by probes in the past 13 years.

These intelligence contents did not surprise Nie Yun too much. They were mainly necessary information for judging the development process and threat level of Earth civilization.

What Nie Yun could not have imagined was that apart from these data, the probes collected the most information not related to earth science and technology, but unexpected social sciences, humanities, art, philosophy, and... entertainment film and television? !

"I'm going! Could it be that these aliens have been peeping at the earth for so long, just want to watch alien soap operas?" Nie Yun was stunned.

what is this? An artistic pursuit that spans civilizations?

Then Nie Yun found a document that seemed to explain this phenomenon. The name of the document was - "Earth Civilization Sample Collection Data and Self-Destruction Tendency Intelligence"!

After reading the contents of this report, Nie Yun had a rough guess about this approach of the Gemini civilization.

Just imagine, if the earth is unified, there is only one unified government, and after a long period of development into the era of interstellar navigation, in the absence of major external threats, then the ruler will consider the stability of the internal regime and technological development. Most should be the continuation of civilization!

There is extensive discussion about the development and destruction of civilization, even in human societies that have not yet been unified.

In addition to the catastrophe of an asteroid hitting the earth, there are actually many crises that come from within civilization!

For example, there have been more than one nuclear crises in history. The finger on the nuclear button only needs to be moved lightly. If the wheel of history makes a little joke, human civilization will draw a stop.

Another example is the sudden occurrence of a virus leak like the one described in the biochemical crisis, or the possible future crisis of artificial intelligence riots. During the development of Earth civilization, there are too many ways of self-destruction!

Some people even pessimistically believe that the earth's civilization is walking a tightrope forward, and it will fall into the abyss if it is not careful.

Even the Earth civilization, a low-level civilization that has not yet stepped out of the home planet, is still like this, so what about the Gemini civilization with a higher degree of development?

In theory, they should have more than a little more ways to play dead than the earth!

Could it be that there have been many crises of civilization destruction within them? Could there be a tiny incentive to destroy an entire civilization?

Thinking about it this way, technology is so behind the earth civilization, what is it worth to observe the Gemini civilization for so long to obtain?

The answer is - a sample of civilization development!

This includes the development route of civilization, the pros and cons of racial characteristics, the incentives for the destruction of civilization, etc. These things can provide a great reference for the development of a civilization.

Taking copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes. Taking people as a guide, you can understand the pros and cons. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. So if there is a development process of civilization as a reference, can our own civilization take less detours? Avoid some minefields?

Even an excellent trend of thought or concept within a civilization,

All will have an incalculable future impact on the development of civilization.

For example, Confucius, Marx, Plato, Aristotle and these great men in thought, didn't their thoughts affect the development of the entire civilization?

Perhaps in the eyes of Gemini civilization, the most precious thing about Earth civilization is not the hard power of science and technology, but the soft power of this civilization?

The channels for studying the soft power of civilization are precisely the fields of culture, art and entertainment that we do not pay attention to.

At least it cannot be denied that most of the human thoughts are already contained in the massive film and television entertainment works in the world! Don't say anything else, just say that the online novels that are in an explosive state today, slaying dragons in the sky, and catching turtles in the sea are all-encompassing!

Through these realistic or artistically processed works, alien civilizations can roughly restore a complete human society and even their civilization thoughts!

Of course, the above are just Nie Yun's more serious conjectures.

He also has an unlimited, rather unserious conjecture...

Perhaps... the other party's collection of so much information on film and television entertainment is actually to promote the development of the entertainment industry in this civilization?

After all, cultural creativity has little to do with the level of technological development.

As a chestnut, we can imagine what would happen if an entertainment company on Gemini could get a sample Earth movie that the planet had never seen before?

A hugely expensive movie that needs to hire a screenwriter, director, and post-production team. Now you only need to use a beautiful face to change the avatar and you can copy it, and add a programmer and it can be released directly, okay! Where can I find such a good thing?

Even if Gemini is a member of some civilization alliance, then it can also export the entertainment industry! This is a great thing to earn a lot of extra money without breaking a sweat!

As for the royalties on Earth? Could it be that you can still go to Gemini to defend your rights?

So an entertainment company that can continuously obtain such movie samples is difficult to make a fortune, right?

According to this speculation, this may be a kind of cultural asset plunder, and it belongs to the first-come, first-served kind!

Imagine if you wait until human civilization joins the big family of the universe and suddenly discover...

Huh? Why did the author of the Analects become a cat? !

Huh? The uneasy singer is actually a dog? !

Then the tragic earthlings found out that the copyrights of these works have already been registered in the "General Administration of Galaxy Entertainment and Cultural Industry", and even if you use them without authorization, the defendant will infringe them!

Then you teach your child to memorize the Analects, or put it on "anxiety" to relax, but then you have to pay the copyright tax to the cat or dog, what kind of grotesque mood would that be?

"Hey! It seems that the defense and intellectual property protection of the entertainment and cultural industry also needs to be strengthened! Nimei, the war against the Gemini civilization is too passive! The border line is too long..." Nie Yun sighed helplessly.

Mechanical bug: "..."
