Chapter 217 Two conjectures and the border line

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

Earth orbit.

"Scoff~" A passage opened in the lower abdomen of the Sea Wolf, and an invisible small shuttle gradually appeared and slowly entered the Sea Wolf. Then the passage closed, and the Sea Wolf escaped into the void again invisibly.

Nie Yun got off the shuttle and floated all the way back to the captain's room. As soon as he sat in the captain's chair, the swallowing of the two alien probes happened to be nearing the end. He immediately began to digest the two probes with all his strength.

Unsurprisingly, the central control core and data storage equipment of the two detectors did not encounter the one-in-a-million chance of being destroyed by an atomic-level cutting line!

After analysis, there is not much information stored in the detector, and the other party is obviously not stupid enough to put any confidential information in two ordinary detectors.

Under the analysis of massive amounts of computational power, Nie Yun soon got his first harvest-"Earth Civilization Observation Diary"!

This Earth observation diary contains a lot of content, including the development and changes of large urban agglomerations on the earth, the level of energy eruptions, large-scale geological changes, radio communication monitoring data, space vehicle trajectory records and other information captured by the probe over the past 13 years.

The content of these intelligence did not surprise Nie Yun too much. They are mainly necessary information for judging the development process and threat level of Earth civilization.

What Nie Yun didn't expect was that in addition to these materials, the most collected by the detector was not Earth science and technology-related materials, but unexpected social sciences, humanities, arts, philosophy, and...entertainment film and television?！

“I'm going!Could it be that these aliens have been peeping at the earth for so long, just wanting to watch alien soap operas?"Nie Yun was stunned.

What is this?The pursuit of art that spans civilization?

Then Nie Yun discovered a document that seemed to explain this phenomenon. The name of this document was-“Earth civilization sample collection data and self-destructive tendency intelligence”!

After reading the contents of this report, Nie Yun had a general guess about the approach of the Gemini civilization.

Imagine, if the earth is unified, there is only one unified polity, and after a long period of development, it has entered the era of interstellar navigation. In the absence of major external threats, then the ruler, in addition to the stability of the internal regime and the development of science and technology, the most considered issue should be the continuation of civilization!

Regarding the development and destruction of civilization, there are extensive discussions even in the human society that has not yet completed the unification.

In addition to the scourge of asteroids hitting the earth, there are actually many crises that come from within civilization!

For example, there have been more than one nuclear crisis in history. The finger on the nuclear button only needs to be moved lightly. A little joke on the wheel of history will bring human civilization to a halt.

Another example is that one day a virus leak like the one described in Resident Evil suddenly occurred, or a possible artificial intelligence riot crisis in the future. In the process of the development of earth civilization, there are too many ways of self-destruction!

Some people even pessimistically believe that the earth's civilization is moving forward like a tightrope, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the abyss.

Even the Earth civilization, a low-level civilization that has not yet stepped out of the native planet, is still like this, so what about the Gemini civilization with a higher degree of development?

In theory, they should have more tricks to die than the earth!

Could it be that there have been many crises of the destruction of civilization within them?Will there be a very small incentive to destroy the entire civilization?

Thinking about it this way, technology is so backward to the earth civilization, what is it worth observing the Gemini civilization for so long to obtain?

The answer is-a sample of the development of civilization!

These include the development route of civilization, the advantages and disadvantages of ethnic characteristics, the incentives for the destruction of civilization, etc. These things can provide great reference significance for the development of a civilization.

Taking copper as a guide, you can be dressed properly.Judging by people, you can see the gains and losses.Taking history as a guide, you can know the rise and fall.So if there is a development process of civilization as a reference, can one's own civilization take fewer detours?Avoid some minefields?

Even the outstanding trends of thought or ideas within a civilization will have an incalculable future impact on the development of civilization.

For example, the great ideological men such as Confucius, Marx, Plato, and Aristotle, didn't their thoughts affect the process of the development of the entire civilization?

Perhaps in the eyes of Gemini civilization, the most precious thing about Earth civilization is not the hard power of science and technology, but precisely the soft power of this civilization?

The channel for studying the soft power of civilization is precisely the field of culture, art and entertainment that we do not pay attention to.

At least it is undeniable that the world's massive film and television entertainment works already contain most of the human trends of thought!Not to mention anything else, just to say that the online novels that are in an explosive state today, slaying dragons in heaven and catching turtles in the sea are all-inclusive!

Through these works that are either realistic or artistically processed, alien civilizations can roughly restore a complete human society and even their civilized ideas!

Of course, the above are just Nie Yun's more serious conjectures full of integrity.

He also has an unlimited, more unorthodox guess……

Perhaps... the other party's collection of so much information on film and television entertainment is actually to promote the development of the entertainment industry in this country?

After all, things like cultural creativity have little to do with the degree of scientific and technological development.

For a chestnut, we can imagine what would happen if an entertainment company on Gemini could get a sample of an Earth movie that had never been seen on this planet?

A big-budget movie that costs a lot and requires a screenwriter, director, and post-production team to be hired. Now you only need to change your avatar with a beauty to copy it, and you can directly release it with a program ape, okay!Where can I find this kind of good thing?

Even if Gemini is a member of the Alliance of Civilizations, then it can still engage in the output of the entertainment industry!This is a good thing that you can make a lot of extra money with no effort!

As for the royalties of the earth?Is it possible that you can still go to Gemini to defend your rights?

So it's hard for an entertainment company that can continuously obtain samples of this kind of movie to make a fortune, right?

According to this guess, this may still be a kind of plundering of cultural assets, and it is a first-come, first-served kind!

Imagine if you wait until human civilization joins the cosmic family and suddenly find out……

Huh?Why did the author of the Analects of Confucius become a Meow Star?！

Huh?Is it a Wang Xing who sings anxiously?！

Then the tragic earthlings discovered that the copyright of these works had already been registered in the "General Administration of Galaxy Entertainment and Cultural Industry”. Even if you use it without authorization, you will be sued for infringement!

So you teach your children to memorize the Analects of Confucius, or relax with "anxiety”, but then you have to pay copyright taxes to Meow Xing or Wang Xing. What kind of lying mood would that be?

"Ugh!It seems that the defense and intellectual property protection of the entertainment and cultural industry also need to be strengthened!Sister Ni, the war against the Gemini civilization is too passive!The border line here is too long..." Nie Yun sighed helplessly.

Mechanical worm: “......”

TL Note- Alien IPR laws need to be discussed upon.
