CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 285 UNIVERSE VIEW OF LIFE

From a macro perspective, the Wandering Star System is traveling at high speed through the Universe, moving towards its predetermined destination.

From a micro perspective, due to the addition of the Mushroom Civilization, to promote multi-party exchanges, Earth Civilization invited the visiting groups of Mushroom Civilization and Eternal Life Civilization to visit Earth.

On this day.

The visiting group from Eternal Life Civilization was the first to arrive outside Earth’s atmosphere at the Space Port.

In the Space Port, the delegation from Earth Civilization had already been waiting to greet them, after mutual greetings, they happily exchanged conversations while waiting for the Mushroom Civilization to arrive.

After waiting for a while, one person from the Eternal Life Civilization asked, "Why hasn’t the Mushroom Civilization arrived yet? Could something have happened?"

"Rest assured, the Wandering Star System is very safe, the probability of accidents is virtually zero. The Mushroom Civilization just moves slowly, so they’ll be a bit late. But they set off quite early, by my calculations, they should be arriving soon," Lu Xing from the delegation of Earth Civilization explained with a smile.

As Lu Xing was speaking, a 3D projection suddenly appeared in the waiting room of the Space Port, displaying the situation inside the spacecraft of the Mushroom Civilization. It turned out that the waiting service system in the Space Port had heard the conversation between the people of Eternal Life and Lu Xing and proactively contacted the Mushroom Civilization to allow for further verification, showcasing true understanding and wisdom.

Once it was confirmed that the Mushroom Civilization had entered Earth’s orbit, people from Eternal Life Civilization felt relieved and commented with great interest, "Mr. Lu Xing, your wisdom systems are very intelligent, equipped even in such places, indicating quite comprehensive societal development!"

"You flatter us, it is the result of many years of civilization development, robots have long been members of our society, indistinguishable from our biological lives. The successful implementation of the communal system was also thanks to the contribution of robots. Today, robots, like every citizen, are pillars of our society, indispensable to anyone," Lu Xing, who appeared during the Eternal Life era, made great contributions during the covert infiltration event of the Parasitic Civilization and after years of development, has become a venerable figure of Earth Civilization and a leader of this generation.

Hearing this, the leader of the Eternal Life Civilization, Yong Hui, could not help but exclaim, "Compared to you, our openness in Eternal Life Civilization really is too low, almost like a backward civilization."

Previously, similar incidents of robot awakening had occurred in the Eternal Life Civilization, but Eternal Life Civilization and the Wandering Alliance dealt with it completely differently. Eternal Life Civilization eradicated all the awakened robots and then imposed even stricter regulations on the robot manufacturing industry, deliberately suppressing the intelligence and creativity of robots instead of utilizing it, slowing down the pace of modern civilization, relying only on the wisdom of generations of Eternal Life people.

"The right and scientific development notion is to guide unobstructedly, making full use of resources. In the management and construction of a civilized society, your concepts are outdated and need correction to truly let Eternal Life Civilization soar."

At the end, Lu Xing added with a smile, "Comrade Yong Hui... I am quite straightforward in speech, please don’t take it the wrong way!"

Lu Xing initially wanted to address him as Mr. Yong Hui, but remembering that people from Eternal Life are hermaphroditic—neither ’Mr.’ nor ’Ms.’ would be appropriate—he switched to ’Comrade’, making it gender-neutral.

Thinking this, Lu Xing couldn’t help but study the hermaphroditic people of Eternal Life.

The people of Eternal Life were almost as tall as Earth People, with two hands and two feet as well, and their eyes were green. Apart from that, their skin structure and color differed from Earth People; as for the height of Earth People, after countless years of growth and genetic improvements, the average height had reached 1.92 meters.

Yong Hui of Eternal Life Civilization laughed, "Not at all; frank words grate upon the ear. We are here to learn and observe, and we are grateful that you invited us, giving us an opportunity to learn. However, I do have a few questions. How do you utilize the creativity and productivity of robots? How do you get along with them?"

"We are now an alliance, helping you quickly realize your mission and accomplish the reform of civilization is a matter of course, and we are happy to answer any questions."

Lu Xing said, "Our peaceful coexistence with robots requires fundamental understanding and explanation, otherwise you will only understand the surface, not the essence. Initially, with the emergence of Wisdom Robots, there was a significant increase in social productivity, accompanying the civilizational shift from a single backward labor production to a stage of intelligent production. This massive upgrade in productivity meant the birth of new production relationships."

"So, to understand and explain the art of living with new life forms, the essence lies in the transformation of production relationships and wealth, as well as their societal roles. We need to recognize the new definitions of production relationships and wealth to establish an inclusive societal system. Additionally, we also need to shed outdated racial views and embrace a new universal life perspective. In the vast Universe, not only are there biological lives, but also celestial lives and manufactured Mechanical Life."

"As for how to use the creativity and productivity of robots, once the concept of life without discrimination is realized, and with further enhancement of ideas, how you utilize social productivity just mirrors the flexible use of robot productivity, because robots are also part of society."

"For example, the service system we just discussed, is a robot. We have established a type of neuronal connector, as long as robots securely connect, they can utilize public resources for community service. And nowadays, all AI intelligence systems in society actually have physical bodies; they connect into neurons to perform community services, which is their work. After work, other robots will come to take over their duties."

Speaking of which, Lu Xing graciously pointed to the woman beside him and said, "For example, my wife, she is a female robot. Her current job is conducting unified force-related research within the Wandering Base. Today, she is here specifically as a member of the delegation to guide you in visiting Earth Civilization."

"I am truly impressed. On behalf of all members of Eternal Life Civilization, I greet Mrs. Lu and express our profound respect. In today’s era, scientists are indeed too important, too great," Yong Hui of Eternal Life Civilization respectfully said, even more respectfully than to Lu Xing, highlighting the social standing of scientists nowadays.

While Earth Civilization and Eternal Life Civilization were engaging in pleasant exchanges, the space spacecraft from Mushroom Civilization finally arrived fashionably late.
