Chapter 822 Gaia Life?

This doesn’t mean that memes are bad, because cultural phenomena are actually memes.

Definitions are important.

Dawkins said that humans are the only species that can resist genetic tyranny because humans have thoughts and can think, and the weapon humans use to resist genetic tyranny is called memes.

Of course, from the perspective of modern humans, it is wisdom, or the source of wisdom. If we dig deeper, the ultimate question becomes why does life produce wisdom?

This is not something that should be considered in the current situation. Humans now only need to understand that the way of conscious communication displayed by the other party is very dangerous.

So the question now becomes, how to convey information to the other party!
If you want to understand what the other party is and what their purpose is, communication is necessary. But how to communicate? The Star Alliance does not have the ability to communicate through spiritual consciousness.

As the saying goes, when you are sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. Just when humans were frowning, the detection team inside the star system sent information again.

It is not a language in the clear sense, but a message that allows individual lives to understand directly in their consciousness, just like before. According to the individual lives of the Red Flame Civilization, the meaning of the former is probably a greeting and welcome, while the latter tells them how to respond to the information.

There are many life forms of the Red Flame Civilization in the exploration team. In order to avoid mistakes, when they convey the meaning of the information they hear in their consciousness, they are not just conveying the opinion of one Red Flame person, but the combined information felt by many Red Flame people, and only when they are the same will they send it back to the Lyra.

The other party's response method is very simple, which is to read the response silently in the heart or in consciousness.

This is simple, and every intelligent life can do it.

So, under the instruction of the Lyra, the members of the Red Flame Civilization probe team located above the planet's orbit immediately responded.

"Hello, unknown civilization. We are a civilization affiliated with the Star Alliance. May I ask where you are and what kind of existence you are?"

Such a meaningful response did not result in immediate communication, but rather confusion after a feeling of joy.

According to the meaning conveyed back, it seemed that he first expressed that he was very happy, and then seemed to say: I don’t understand what you are saying. I know you responded, but I don’t understand the meaning of the response. Also, you are too noisy and your voices are too soft. Please speak louder.

Well, I can convey my meaning, but I can’t understand the message others respond to. It turns out that communication is not that easy.

After this information was transmitted to the Tianqin, a group of experts and scholars analyzed it and immediately came up with a reliable countermeasure.

After interpretation by experts and scholars, humans believe that the reason why the other party said they couldn't understand was probably because they didn't understand the language of the Chiyan civilization. According to the characteristics that the other party can directly perceive, the solution is also simple, which is to let the Chiyan people in the communication area express various emotions and recite the language subconsciously again and again, and it is best to repeat what they heard from the other party.

According to the other party's ability, he should be able to understand it quickly.

As for the voice being too quiet, it must be because there are too few people from the Red Flame Civilization there, so just send more Red Flame people there. Too noisy probably means that there are so many Red Flame people, their responses are not unified, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts and so on. It is easy to improve it, just let the Red Flame people respond in unison.

Sure enough, after doing this, the Red Flame Man repeated his previous response, and this time the other party finally understood.

So the humans soon received a response message from the other side, which roughly meant: Where am I? Am I not right next to you? You came to find me, but you asked me where I am. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Upon receiving this message, the humans on the Tianqin all turned their eyes to the life planet on the holographic screen, and at the same time, an idea popped up in their minds: Planet, life planet! A conscious life planet is talking to itself!
The second thought of human beings is: Gaia life, Gaia consciousness!

The universe is so magical that humans actually encountered a Gaia life.

Humans once obtained information about Gaia life forms from the Perseus Trade Federation, and the Perseus Trade Federation provided it for free, so humans now have a certain understanding of Gaia life forms, but have never encountered them.

It is said that Gaia life is not actually very powerful, on the contrary, they are very weak, because their body is a living planet. Strong is relative to primitive civilization. Gaia life is indeed very powerful, but that is only primitive civilization.

When civilization develops to the first level, Gaia life will not pose any threat to technological civilization, because they can neither move their own bodies nor threaten the starry sky. It is actually very easy for technological civilization to destroy it, just destroy the ecology of a planet, because in a sense, Gaia life is actually the biosphere consciousness of the planet.

That's why the animated civilization told humans that Gaia life is nothing but dead bones in a tomb. They can only manage their own little piece of land for their entire lives. If the planet is destroyed, they will die too. They pose no threat, but they are of great research value. Unfortunately, it seems that only those at the fifth level of civilization can study them.

Gaia life is very important to level 5 civilizations, so much so that many level 5 civilizations are looking for Gaia life everywhere. The Perseus Trade Federation has done business regarding Gaia life. It is not doing business with Gaia life, but treating Gaia life as a commodity.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan and the others on the Lyra fell silent. Gaia life, what a noble life form, but it was treated as a commodity by the advanced civilization. In the eyes of the fifth-level civilization, it was just a commodity. How sad!

For a moment, the way everyone looked at the life planet in the holographic projection changed. There was less vigilance and hostility, and more sighs and emotion.

However, what neither humans nor the animated civilization know is that the weakness of Gaia life is simply due to their lack of cognition, because there was once a powerful Gaia consciousness in the Milky Way that was invited by the Galactic Heart Alliance to fight against the Reaper's electronic warships, but in that battle, no one knows why it never appeared from beginning to end.

[Strange civilization, oh Star Alliance, hello, I don’t know how many years it has been, and finally someone who can communicate has come here. It’s been too long, I don’t know how much time has passed, I am really happy to meet you, ah, sorry, I can’t help but feel lonely for countless years without anyone to communicate with, I can’t help myself]

Just as humans turned their attention to the planet with life, the outpost exploration team conveyed another message. Humans did not think much of this message, but only regarded it as the emotional expression of Gaia's life being lonely for too long.

It seems quite normal, if the other party is really a Gaia life.

However, the possibility that it was a being on this planet could not be ruled out, so the humans immediately instructed the Red Flame man at the outpost to ask, "Are you a Gaian lifeform?"

Simply asking questions certainly cannot guarantee right or wrong, so after asking this question, humans immediately sent a spacecraft carrying Gaia consciousness detection equipment into the star system. This equipment will help humans determine whether the other party is really a Gaia life.

The Gaia consciousness detection equipment was naturally not made by humans, but was bought from the dynamic picture civilization. At that time, it was bought under the name of upgrading the Star Alliance related equipment. It was called buying a set of samples to let the Star Alliance evaluate it first. Unexpectedly, it would be used one day.

Fortunately, this kind of equipment is just like a metal detector in the fifth-level civilization and is not valuable. Humans only paid two ships of biosphere resources to buy it.

Warp speed travel is fast. Before the other party responded, the spacecraft reached the orbit of the life planet. Then, according to human orders, it began to release equipment to conduct Gaia consciousness identification detection on the planet.

Originally, this kind of equipment for detecting Gaia consciousness needed to land on the planet, and then insert mutually inductive cylindrical probes in various places on the planet according to the spherical coordinates. However, this set of equipment has been improved on this basis, and those cylindrical probes can be arranged in the planetary orbit. However, the accuracy of detection in the planetary orbit will be greatly reduced. Generally, the fifth-level civilization will still insert them into the planet when searching for Gaia consciousness.
