After many exchanges, Bai Ge learned a general understanding of this civilization.

This civilization has actually been unified, but it still retains many languages ​​and characters in culture.

Because of the cherishing of culture and art, even the customs of the conquered people have been generally preserved, making their culture extremely prosperous and mixed.

It is undeniable that the artistic attainments of this civilization far exceed that of the earth. They have a history of civilization for thousands of years. In that magnificent history, they have evolved a wonderful process that is completely different from those on earth.

They have countless words that correspond to allusions, countless classic and unique rhetorical techniques, and they even have countless works to express every phenomenon of nature.

When the basic survival problem is solved with the progress of productivity, when a certain degree of peace comes due to global unification, when technological bottlenecks arise, it is difficult to enter a broader world.

Art has become the pursuit of the whole nation in this era.

There are no other planets in the entire Sirius system except here.

At the same time, because the mass of this planet is twice that of the Earth, the difficulties in the early stage of aerospace technology have to be magnified several times.

When the first artificial unmanned spacecraft rushed out of the galaxy, when the first artificial satellite in near-star orbit was successfully launched, when they determined that there were no other planets in the entire galaxy to explore.

The desire to explore space has been greatly reduced.

The reason is very simple. Their aerospace industry has been developing for more than 500 years on Earth, but they have gained nothing.

If you want to sail across galaxies, it is even more out of reach, and you have to work hard for at least thousands of years.

Even if one day it is one percent of the speed of light, it will take eight hundred years to reach the nearest galaxy.

This long and unrewarded effort made them tired. Although the technology is still developing slowly, the passion has actually subsided greatly.

Only the mentality of "I will do it one day, but it's still early" has made these generations more devoted to the field of literature and art.

Although it has created a civilization with extremely high artistic achievements, it has also caused great internal friction in civilization, and it is also meaningless internal friction.

The Earth Eagle Project is a typical internal consumption project. After consuming a lot of manpower, material resources and time, its biggest function is to discover it extremely conspicuously like a landmark when you look at this planet from space.

"Just because of the difficulties of aerospace technology, I gave up on myself?" Bai Ge said.

Lingling said: "It can't be said that he gave up on himself. In this era, it is indeed impossible to conduct interstellar navigation. No matter how hard they work, it will be the same."

"After a long time, civilization has no foreign enemies. They feel that there is no need to develop technology with all their might. Anyway, life is worry-free. Instead of spending limited life in the aerospace field like a bottomless pit, more people are willing to devote themselves to art. At least when creating great projects, creating great music, and creating great works of these and such great works, they can get inner self-satisfaction and vanity that is amazed in the warm artistic atmosphere."

"As living conditions get better and better, it is normal to pursue art and entertainment. In fact, the earth is the same. From ancient times to the present, entertainment and literature will be extremely prosperous without the pressure of life."

Bai Ge understood that desire and desire come one by one.

The lowest is survival. Now there are neither foreign enemies, no sense of urgency, nor any pressure on life. Pursuing higher desires and desires has become inevitable.

"So, is the competitive landscape of many countries in the global world better?" Bai Ge said.

"Yes, although multiple countries will be internally consuming each other, it will not be meaningless internal consuming. At least technology is moving forward steadily. The way of taking turns to be the hegemon can ensure the overall progress of civilization. If you are in a unified environment too early, it is equivalent to entering the country-locked environment at the same time, and civilization will inevitably fall into a long self-destruction..."

"If this kind of drunkenness and dreams reach the extreme, it will even destroy itself."

Bai Ge suddenly realized that compared with this civilization, the earth is in a competitive pattern of multiple countries, and from a historical dialectical perspective, it is actually beneficial.

If this civilization goes down for a long time, it will be a matter of time before it can be destroyed.

For example, when the values ​​of all members gradually tend to pursue the ultimate art, they will unanimously decide to create a super brilliant work of art or artistic behavior.

For this reason, they will even sacrifice their lives because this is a higher pursuit and desire that is greater than survival.

So the ultimate art may be the most exquisite deception.

If you don’t die once, there will be a second time, and there will always be a suicide.

"You have unified too early." Bai Ge said to the Mercury Man.

Most Mercury people expressed confusion about the mysterious alien civilization.

What’s wrong with unification? It can concentrate resources, talents, and unite the greatest strength.

However, there are still some knowledgeable people among the mercury people who have experienced the current dilemma of civilization and said: "Unification is the tide of the times, and art is the poison of life on which it depends."

"We have a saying in civilization: Don't pursue the bubble that has not yet arrived. Only by discovering beauty in time can we make limited life wonderful."

Although civilization is basically addicted to art, there are certainly still sober people.

But even such a sober person still chooses the present rather than the future.

They regard the interstellar voyage that they may achieve in the future as illusory bubbles, at least for a thousand years.

No one will live for the great rise of the entire civilization a thousand years later.

Living in the present is the choice of this era, and they cannot be blamed.

The Mercury Man said: "In fact, before we discovered you, we always thought that we were lonely. Although there were countless works of art depicting various pictures of cosmic civilization, the silence made us feel very desperate."

"Thank you for letting you come here. You are a great civilization worthy of admiration. You have achieved the free navigation of the universe and the qualification to appreciate the broader world..."

"Maybe in your opinion, our current era is immature, but I don't believe that your civilization has not experienced an era of decay?"

"Your existence has given us confidence. I believe that our civilization can also travel to the stars in the future."

Bai Ge raised his eyebrows.

They feel that they are very civilized. Although their skills are weaker than Bai Ge, they still have to reflect the dignity of civilization.

Since Bai Ge's civilization can be achieved, their civilization can definitely be achieved too.

But this is obviously better than the singing, and Bai Ge's heart is not fluctuating.

Because he was also testing the other party's power center, where mercury people unknowingly revealed their true thoughts.

"They are willing to communicate and have no malicious behavior, which is certainly not the evil civilization we imagine."

"Yes, we are so lucky that this civilization has far surpassed ours. Perhaps we can get help and enter the interstellar voyage stage."

"I'm so excited. Don't expose our intentions first. Be more solemn! Don't be underestimated! But let the other party feel our kindness as much as possible, and try to satisfy them as much as possible. If you can obtain interstellar navigation technology, we can also explore the universe..."

"Yes, then we can witness more beauty and create more great achievements..."

Although they were talking in the room where electromagnetic waves were shielded, they were still exposed to Bai Ge at a glance.

So I said that interstellar navigation technology can definitely be achieved, but in fact, I still hope to get it directly from Bai Ge.

Even based on a certain noble mentality, we have to go around the corner.

"Great guest, I believe that cultures of different civilizations can collide with the most beautiful sparks... Everything about us can be transmitted to you without reservation. We have the greatest sincerity to establish a deeper foundation of communication." Mercury Humane said.

Bai Ge replied: "Do you want to exchange technology?"

"If you don't want to do technology, we won't force it. Even if it's just cultural exchanges, we're very happy." said the Mercury.

Although they said that, they were actually very nervous.

Even if it is a civilization that pursues art, it is still a dream for interstellar navigation technology. If you say no, you actually want it very much.

Bai Ge smiled and said, "In fact, not long ago, we had a technical transaction with a civilization, and there was nothing wrong with that."

The Mercury Man was overjoyed, but said with a reserved attitude again: "You are such a great civilization. In fact, we firmly believe that we can overcome the bottleneck of technology and step into the cosmic stage. We can first conduct cultural exchanges. We have sent out the essence of our culture. You can also let us appreciate your culture. Comprehension in culture will enhance the foundation of our cooperation..."

Bai Ge listened to the Mercury Man's nonsense, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

At this time, Goethe and others had already begun to check out various art works sent by the Mercury Man. To be honest, it was amazing and beautiful.

Although many of them are too exquisite and obscure, it can be seen that this civilization really has a super strong cultural heritage.

The first time I came into contact with the alien literary style, it had a very obvious psychological impact on Goethe and others. It was as if Westerners had discovered those murals that transcend imagination, full of exotic style and amazing in Dunhuang for the first time.

However, Bai Ge does not intend to give back to the artwork of the earth.

He said, "You may not understand our art, so there is no need to communicate."

Soon, after Mercury received this answer, many people showed a sense of superiority on their faces.

"Ha, this civilized art seems to be very self-confident..."

"Real art can transcend races. We may not be able to understand their art, which means that their art has not yet reached the level of transcend races and is still in a very superficial stage..."

"They didn't send a single one. Maybe the aliens don't have their own art at all. This may be a civilization that specializes in scientific research."

"Actually, you can understand that the design is too mediocre."

Hearing the secret discussions of Mercury people from the surveillance, Bai Ge couldn't help but feel happy with a defeated expression.

He suddenly sent a message and said, "Your culture and art are indeed very high. However, the universe does not have a public moral order. As long as I want, it only takes a moment to destroy you."

The Mercury Man was very excited when he heard the first half of the sentence, but was immediately stunned by the sudden and fierce words.

They said: "We are the most peaceful civilization. We have no malice towards you. We have a long and beautiful culture... Please don't say such terrible words anymore. I believe you are also a very civilized race."

Bai Ge said: "I say it again, the universe has no public moral order. When do you think survival is something that is within your reach?"

"When did you suddenly have the illusion that 'other civilizations must give you the right to survive'?"
