Beneath Deep Space

"Tch!" Zhang Peng cursed in his mind with some disdain after hearing this. He originally thought it would be something mysterious and not very scientific, but he didn't expect it to be just a score...

What’s the big deal about ratings? There are so many ratings in human society, ranging from individual test scores and company performance appraisals to national GDP, CPI, etc...

It is commonplace to use numbers to measure a person's ability or even a country's strength, and there is nothing new about it.

Even the new human civilization has an industrial index level to define its own industrial capabilities.

I didn’t expect that aliens would be so good at this...

But he just cursed in his heart and didn't say much. Anyway, as long as there are new things for him to deal with... the "spiritual level" seems to be very high.

While talking, the two exchanged control of their bodies. Zhang Peng regained control of his body. He felt that his belly was extremely swollen.

"Black" said in Zhang Peng's mind: "The spirit is not fixed, it will fluctuate with the growth of the individual, and will also decrease due to injuries and other reasons. But generally speaking, the individual's spirit level will remain the same after adulthood. At a stable level.”

"It includes five aspects: physical potential, brain potential, thinking mode, personal willpower and self-awareness. Each aspect has a different scoring weight."

"First, let's talk about physical potential, which includes environmental adaptability, immune system, micro-management, and perception..."

These things are explained in more detail. Anyway, it is basic common sense in cosmology. Even if it is given to this low-level civilization, they can only hear it as a curiosity.

Zhang Peng couldn't help but interrupted: "... Then how much can our human body be rated?"

"Hei" paused, seemed to be thinking, and then said: "The physical potential of your race can be rated at eight or nine points... However, the physical potential has the lowest weight, and it can also be improved through technological means."

"Eighty-nine points? Is it that high? That's right. After all, we are at the top of the earth's food chain, and our physical potential is still good... It is said that the explosion of a small universe can lift a car!"

Zhang Peng said proudly. After listening to the description of "black", he felt that the divisions were very detailed, at least he was not talking nonsense.

"What an idiot... A hundred points is a perfect score, so why are you so proud of eight or nine points?!"

Black cursed unceremoniously. It chuckled secretly. It had never seen such a stupid person.

Zhang Peng shouted unhappily: "Even if we humans are not physically strong, how can we only get single-digit points? Are you fooling me?!"

"Hei" snorted with some disdain: "I have to say that your living environment seems to be too superior! There are some races in the universe that can survive in an environment with ten times gravity, vacuum, and hundreds of degrees Celsius. Can you do that?"

"If you can do that too, I can give you eight or ninety points."

Zhang Peng scratched his head in embarrassment and said nothing. What about ten times the gravity, do you think he is a Saiyan? Does such a species really exist?

"Hei" saw that Zhang Peng was silent, and then continued: "In addition to physical potential, the second item is brain potential, which refers to the highest limit of intellectual development, including the number of neurons, brain Structural optimization, information transfer speed, etc.”

"On average, your species can score an average of 30 points, and the smartest individuals can score 40 to 50 points. It's barely enough!"

"Ah? So low?" Zhang Peng murmured.

Forget about the physical body, humans can't outrun leopards, climb up to monkeys, or be as strong as elephants, but intelligence is what humans are most proud of, so why is it only in the 30s?

But think about it, the universe is so big, there must be species smarter than humans.

He just said something unwillingly, without much argument.

"Hei" snorted coldly, and there was one sentence he didn't say. Zhang Peng's brain could only score 20 points at most.

It believes that its scoring is objective, but it is afraid that if it is spoken out, Zhang Peng will scold her again, and the two of them will waste half a day...

In fact, the human society it sees is not objectively true...

The current new human group is already considered the most elite part. If we take the average of the 7 billion people on the earth, it would probably be 10 points at most. Even Zhang Peng's intelligence is considered pretty good on earth.

"The third scoring point: thinking mode, not only refers to individuals, but also refers to the collective will of the entire civilization."

At this point, Hei's speech slowed down significantly and seemed to have a serious atmosphere: "Both physical potential and brain potential can be improved using scientific means. In particular, breakthroughs in biology can make these two aspects better." Ratings improved significantly.”

"But for a single individual... once a thinking pattern is formed, it is really difficult to change it."

"Especially the collective will of civilization, once it reaches a steady state, it is almost difficult to change! Only when encountering extremely major changes can a new will of civilization be born!"

"So, the scoring of thinking patterns carries a very high weight."

Zhang Peng found it difficult to understand these concepts for a while, but he felt they made sense.

He opened his mouth and asked: "What is a thinking model? What is civilized will? What you said is too general. Can you make it more clear?"

"Black" thought for a while: "Thinking mode, from a small perspective, includes a person's concepts, judgments, reasoning, and proofs; from a large perspective, it includes the customs and education methods of a civilization, etc. In short, your every move is triggered by thinking, and all of them are combined to form an individual thinking mode." "And civilization is composed of all individuals, and the thoughts and actions of each individual will form the will of civilization." "Black" said here, as if he sighed: "The universe is so big, if... I mean if, you can become a real interstellar civilization and have the opportunity to travel in the Milky Way, you will see more wonderful low-level civilizations, and their thinking modes are completely different." "Many people who see Things that seem inexplicable to them, but the other party thinks they are natural..."

"Sometimes, many things are obviously wrong, even if they know they are wrong, but they just can't correct them... They stubbornly want to stick to their traditions. "

"In this way, thinking patterns and corresponding civilization will also have high and low levels. Some thinking patterns are particularly suitable for climbing technology, so the relative score is higher. Some thinking patterns will hinder the development of technology, so the score is of course low. "

"It is more difficult to score the thinking pattern, and it takes a long time to draw a conclusion. "

Zhang Peng was thoughtful. Although the "black" part of this content was only mentioned briefly, the amount of information is still very large.

The most difficult thing for a person to change is thinking, the most difficult thing for a race to change is still thinking, and the same is true for a civilization.

If we take humans as an example, it is not difficult to find many such people in life. It is difficult to change their thinking. Once some things are determined, they will not change for life.

Even if there are facts that prove that these old things are no longer in line with the current situation, he has to defend these outdated, ineffective and potentially harmful things.

Let me give you some simple examples: some straight male cancer patients like to beat their wives, even though they know that domestic violence is wrong, they just can't help it. This is a person's thinking.

Some people hate to be urged to drink at the dinner table, but they still have to persuade. Because this is the current custom, if you want to integrate into society, you must persuade others to drink. This is the will of civilization.

Of course, there are also male preference, racial discrimination, caste system, etc.... Because there are too many civilization patterns caused by personal thinking, Zhang Peng felt a lot of it just by thinking about it. Of course, the will of civilization will in turn affect personal thinking...

If... this aspect of the content can also be used for scoring, then the content becomes quite serious.

Zhang Peng fell into a rare deep thought.
