Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Night Lan glanced at Li Yao and bit his lip: “Can you achieve everything you say by relying on a" civilization "in the district? ”

Ling Xiaole said: "Whether we can achieve it or not, but we will always strive in this direction, and" Civilization "has been developing for a hundred years, long since the craziest ideas of the past, growing into a virtual platform across all aspects of society, a new thousand world composed of crystal brains, light paths, data and minds.

“We federations, at the real level, live in seven different grand thousand worlds, hundreds or even thousands of light-years apart from each other, with completely different terroirs and living environments, difficult to call the same people, the same civilization.

“But in a virtual world, even people living on this and other shores of the federal frontier can embrace each other without barriers, talk about each other's experiences, share their wisdom and bring together common values.

“So many believe that Civilization is the true frontier of the Federation, and this virtual platform is the most important of the Federation - the eighth! ”

Night Lan glanced at Li Yao again and saw that he had not stopped him. He continued to ask: "So how exactly does the civilized world work, can anyone participate? ”

“Of course, the civilized world is divided into many layers, starting at the bottom, as federals can and must participate. ”

Ling Xiaole chuckled, “Every federation has been in touch with Civilization since elementary school - it was a real game, of course, but we will incorporate a great deal of knowledge of languages, mathematics and other disciplines into the game and teach it in a fun way.

“Have you heard of the 'application question', will the mathematical education on the Firefly also use the 'application question', if so, you can think of the Civilization game as an all-encompassing, ever-changing application question?

“In the virtual world, children know the terroir of the seven largest federated worlds, learn to distinguish the basic minerals on each resource planet, understand the gravity and oxygen content of different planets, and calculate how a starship has to plan its path from the celestial ring to the celestial realm in both the 'fastest' and ‘most fuel efficient' modes.

“As they grow up, their brains grow and mature, so do the additions to Civilization, from all kinds of grand narratives to the little things around them that are garlic.

“Children can manage an entire vast nation either as‘ Speakers of the Federation 'or as' Commanders of the Original Fleet ', leading the Federation's most powerful fleet and enemies in battle - of course, the bigger the narrative, the thicker the particles manipulated, the weaker the authenticity; if they want to be more sophisticated and professional, they can manage their own small territory as miners on a resource planet, captains of a small transport vessel, and mayors of small immigrant towns on a planet to be exploited, such as Skeleton Dragon.

“Under such fine granularity, we will extract from our previous databases all kinds of real minefields, towns and shipping data to them, including the problems they will encounter, which have happened, and the 'keys’ to answering these questions are embedded in the various disciplines they learn on a daily basis.

“All the way from elementary school, junior high school to high school, the children of the Confederation receive this kind of education, so that when they eventually grow up, they are nurtured into a society with a certain awareness of the world, and basically qualified federals can enter the real world of civilization. ”

Dark Night Lane frowned deeply: “I still have a problem, if it's meant to be just a game, it's not real enough to be instructive; if it's meant to be authentic and educational, it's definitely not interesting and appealing enough - even if it keeps one of the smallest carriers up and running, all kinds of data processing and contingencies are enough to make an adult fixer dizzy enough to really enjoy playing with this stuff? Or would the federal government use some kind of compulsion to force children to play such a boring ‘game’? ”

“How is that possible! ”

Ling Xiaole glared at him, “How can the government use coercion when the Federation adores freedom? Besides, there is no need to force it at all." Civilization "is a compulsory subject for the Federal Unified Secondary and College examinations. It must account for more than 50% of the total points of the college entrance examinations over the years. The streets are full of" Civilization "gaming classes. Parents take their children with them and cry out to become game masters! ”

Li Yao: “…”

Night orchid: "…”

Ling Xiaole continued: "By the time the children complete all the basic courses, after passing a series of tests, they will be able to enter the true world of" civilization ", and the biggest difference from the game is that they will encounter more real compatriots here, not just the" virtual people "generated by the crystal brain, all like butterflies on the other side of the ocean, everyone fanning their wings may have a storm in the near future.

“And governments at all levels often publish a large number of public decisions on virtual platforms, inviting people to play games as‘ decision-makers’ and 'implementers', far enough to solve the problem of the invasion and survival of the Imperial Expeditionary Army; a public affair that is too small for them.

“Let's say, assuming the Tianhuan local government wants to build a new fully enclosed vacuum crystal track here, how exactly should the lines of the crystal track be laid out, the setting up of the station, including whether there are any problems with people, the need for relocation, the impact on the price of the surrounding house, and even the impact on the increase or decrease of the population in the coming decades… It would certainly be good to have a number of awakening experts to calculate and deduce in the traditional way, but wouldn't it be better if these experts had first-hand information and even a 'voice' of the local population when calculating and deducing?

“In this way, Tianhuan local governments can publish a ‘simulated orbit building' mission in Civilization, inviting people to live nearby, or to play games based on the best knowledge of such tasks in the past. ”

“Is that okay? ”

Night Lane Cold Lane, “Crystal rail laying and station setting are the most professional problems, how is it possible for the average outsider to solve them? ”

“We don't need them to solve it, we just need them to make constant mistakes and express their own voices in the process of making mistakes. ”

Ling Xiaoledao, “The wise must think, there must be a loss, the fool must think, there must be a gain. Of course, ordinary game players cannot compare to real experts, but they can make at least tens of thousands of mistakes. While helping experts save a lot of time, let experts know what people live in the area need and worry about, and eventually build a satisfactory track for all.

“More importantly, communication between the builder and the local population would be smoother if people living nearby were affected by the track, or were to be relocated, if they were able to participate in its construction in advance, understand its necessity, and see tangible local benefits once it was built!

“This is just one of the tiniest aspects, but the Federation as a whole is amassed by millions of tiny aspects. Through the publication and participation of one task after another, we can make the most of the wisdom of ordinary people, listen to their voices, and ultimately make decisions to satisfy more people!

“Yes, experts are of course the most important, but on the other hand, think about the 100,000 years of civilization, the emperors of the dynasties, the big people who scold the wind, which are not self-proclaimed 'experts’, but under the governance of these people, a dynasty, a nation and a civilization, still fall apart, smoke clouds dissipate!

“Say the real human empire, how wise their emperors are, how tall they are, whether you are a god or a higher number, is his wisdom and computation higher than the combined wisdom and computation of an entire hundred billion people? ”

Langton was choked red-hearted at night, unable to speak.

Li Yao smiled softly. “Mr. Ling was right, but I thought about it carefully. If you really want to achieve what you said, you must ensure that the vast majority of the Federation is willing to consume a lot of time and energy very seriously in the relatively boring Civilization, which is equivalent to more advanced ‘compulsory labor'.

“I know that people are selfish animals, what do you use to guarantee that everyone will be proactive and waste their precious time and energy? In other words, it should have a complete set of incentives, right? ”

“Of course, as I said earlier, Civilization is closely related to the daily lives of every Federalist. ”

Ling Xiaoledao, “It is not necessary to say that the high and low level of the college entrance exam directly determines a person's future, and there are elements such as' winning percentage ',‘ contribution point 'and‘ game time 'in the game, all tied together with a person for life, which has a lot to do with his future interviews, business dealings and even love marriage. ”

Li Yao slightly said: “Does it have anything to do with marriage? ”

“Yeah, you think about it. ”

Ling Xiaole laughed, "The ‘chance’ and ‘degree of completion' of a task represent a person's intelligence and ability to make decisions, ‘game time' and ‘history of past tasks' can tell a person's heartfelt nature, if someone has been carrying out tasks that are boring but relevant to the public, such as the 'simulated track construction' that I just spoke of, even if not complete, at least that he is an enthusiastic public good, right?

“So, when browsing a job search resume, just turn over a few video games attached to the job seeker to find out what this gentleman is capable of solving real problems; and when a young girl decides to partner with a lover, don't forget to check his game records. From the type of task he chooses, you can often see his heart, his character, whether he cares about himself, his neighborhood and his compatriots - if a man doesn't want to participate and solve even the problems he encounters in his own neighborhood, can he expect it to be a truly responsible and responsible husband? ”
