The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 694: Ranking of Universe Civilizations! Infant Civilization? The feudal emperors were terrified!

The video on the sky screen continued to play, and then there was a new sky screen content.

[The universe is so vast and boundless. Once upon a time, humans claimed to be the most intelligent creatures in the universe, but now, they are just a speck of dust.]

[Today I bring you a comprehensive review of the levels of cosmic civilization! ]

[Human civilization on Earth is only level 0.73, not even the level 1 threshold.]

[Level 7 civilization has the ability to control time and space, and can even travel between different universes at will. Its technological power is beyond human imagination.]

[What's more, the legendary level 8 civilization can already create the universe and control the life and death of all things, becoming the master of the universe.]

[Compared to this, human civilization seems so small and fragile, and may be crushed by a higher level civilization at any time.]

"Cosmic civilization..."

Wang Yangming, the master of the School of Mind who was exiled because of his integrity, was now in Longchang, looking up at the sky from the entrance of a simple cave.

He had a rough life, but he always stuck to his beliefs and did not change his original intention even when he was framed by villains.

At this moment, looking at the video on the sky screen, he suddenly had an epiphany.

In front of this vast universe, human beings are so insignificant. What do personal gains and losses matter?
Or he would think of what he once was obsessed with and the things that made him angry, but when he looked back he realized that those were no longer important.

The important thing is to live in the present and live out your own value.

The mind is the principle, this was the epiphany he suddenly had.

The mind is the truth of the universe and the origin of all things.

Only by looking inward can we find our true self, transcend the influence of external things and gain inner peace.

This kind of calmness is not a passive escape, but a transcendent state, a kind of transparency into the world.

With this state of mind, you can face adversity calmly.

The idea that heart is reason is not only a kind of personal cultivation, but also a strategy for governing the country.

If a country's ruler can use his heart as a mirror and reason as a standard, he will be able to see things clearly and be fair and selfless.

If the people of a country can look inward and find their own true selves, then the country will become more harmonious and stable.

……

Li Shimin looked at the sky, feeling very confused.

He thought of what he had seen on the sky before, the future generations, the technologies that were so powerful that they were unimaginable.

In his opinion, these things were already very powerful and enough to shock people.

If future generations could travel through time with such a magical weapon, the Tang Dynasty would probably be at the mercy of others.

But the sky said that the level of human civilization was less than level 1!
How can this be?

Li Shimin was puzzled and could only continue staring at the sky, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

[In 1964, former Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev proposed a method for dividing the levels of cosmic civilization.]

[He divided the universe into three levels based on the degree to which civilizations master and utilize energy.]

[With the development of the times, scientists have expanded the level of civilization to level four. ]

[Level 0 civilization, also known as infant civilization, has begun to utilize the resources of the planet, but has not yet fully mastered them.]

[Civilization at this stage is like a baby, full of curiosity about the world around it, but unable to fully understand and control it.]

[They will use the minerals, water, biological resources and other resources on the planet, but this is often extensive development with great destructiveness.]

[At the same time, civilizations at this stage also begin to explore the universe, but are unable to truly step out of their own planet.]

[They will launch some probes to collect data about the surrounding planets, but interstellar travel is not yet possible.]

【Human civilization is currently only slightly higher than level zero civilization.】

[It is worth noting that the civilization level of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties was around 0.1.]

[This means that in the long course of history, the progress of human civilization has been very slow.]

[From the ignorance of ancient times to the initial exploration of modern times, mankind has gone through thousands of years. ] [But on the scale of the universe, this is just a blink of an eye. ]

[The sky screen continues to display information. Humanity still has a long way to go if it wants to reach the first level of civilization.]

[For every 0.1 increase in the level of cosmic civilization, the energy consumption required will increase tenfold. ]

[This means that it will take at least a hundred years for human civilization to enter level one.]

[Scientists are working tirelessly to find a way to make a breakthrough, but this won’t happen overnight.]

At this moment, the ancient people had mixed feelings.

The dynasties they were proud of, those civilizations that shone brightly in the long river of history, can only be regarded as infant civilizations.

Evaluated by the standards of later generations, their level of civilization was only 0.1.

This figure is undoubtedly a huge blow to those emperors who have always claimed to be the Celestial Empire.

They once had great power and made the world submit to them, but on the scale of cosmic civilization, all this seems insignificant.

From a higher dimensional perspective, those wars, conquests, and governance are nothing more than minor fights.

This huge gap in cognition made the ancient people feel a little at a loss.

[Level 1 civilization is also called planetary civilization. ]

[A civilization at this level can fully control all resources on the planet. ]

[I am the only one who is supreme in the world. This is the portrayal of a first-class civilization. 】

[They are no longer subject to natural disasters, and no longer fear natural or man-made disasters. ]

[Whether it is a violent storm or an earthquake or tsunami, they are no longer a threat in front of the technology of the first-level civilization. ]

[They can predict, control, and even harness these natural forces to serve their own civilization.]

【And energy is the lifeblood of a first-level civilization.】

[Entering the first level of civilization means starting to get rid of dependence on fossil energy and turning to cleaner and safer forms of energy. ]

[Nuclear energy produced by controlled nuclear fusion may become the main energy source for a first-level civilization.]

[The output of this energy will far exceed all existing forms and provide sufficient power for the further development of civilization. ]

[At the same time, Level 1 civilization also means the beginning of interstellar travel. ]

[Manned spacecraft can send humans to any planet in the solar system, opening a new chapter in the exploration of the universe. ]

"That's amazing! We don't have to worry about natural disasters at all!"

Looking at the contents on the sky curtain, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sigh.

As the king of a country, he certainly knows how far-reaching the impact of natural disasters is on the country and the people.

Floods, droughts, earthquakes, locust plagues... these disasters often occur, making the already poor people even worse off.

Whenever there was a disaster, he would issue an edict to provide disaster relief and reduce taxes, hoping that this would alleviate the suffering of the people.

But even so, the devastated scene after the disaster still made him heartbroken.

How great it would be if we could say goodbye to natural disasters once and for all.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, no longer living in fear.

The land is full of harvests and there is no more barren land.

The national treasury is always full and can provide for the people.

What a beautiful sight that will be!

Unfortunately, fantasy is just fantasy after all.

During his lifetime and in the foreseeable future, mankind will never be able to truly escape the threat of nature.
