Chapter 1048 -639: Fate’s Covenant_1

Dylan Mitchell spent a full three months pondering “how to do it.”

However, this matter was completely different from the military aspect and even vastly different from conventional bureaucratic administration.

Dylan Mitchell couldn’t come up with a clear direction for this matter.

Fortunately, during these months, the hundreds of thousands of idle literary and artistic staff members of the scattered star fleets also didn’t stay idle.

Around a hundred thousand talents and non-professional scholars with different expertise in political ideology, historical analysis, psychology, sociology, economics, science and technology, civilization studies, space-time topology, and other fields, after intense discussions and almost “life-and-death” debates, proposed a groundbreaking yet return-to-the-basics plan—establishing a convention to replace the function of great leaders with individual and collective civilization agreements.

This ideal convention could both constrain the organization at large and be specific at the individual level.

The convention would have a binding effect similar to that of a law but would also serve as a set of self-imposed behavior guidelines applicable to all.

The origin of the convention is not solely based on the life philosophy of the early sage, Harrison Clark, but rather traces back to the past and extends into the future, conducting a comprehensive analysis of numerous “conventions,” “alliances,” “treaties,” “quotable quotes,” “philosophical debates,” and “famous quotes” that have played important roles in human civilization history. Furthermore, it seeks to find a universally applicable principle in the complex changes of human hearts under the current era, based on the basic situation and historical background of the early 30th century that humans now face.

The convention will inherit the functions of the leader to some extent, acting as a code of conduct for guiding human behavior while reminding everyone of their roles in civilization and why humanity exists.

This principle will form a solid dialectical thinking pattern in people’s hearts, guiding them to always make decisions that are beneficial to the collective when facing significant life choices.

If they can create such an effective convention, the crisis that Dylan Mitchell and other visionaries are worried about will be resolved smoothly.

However, the convention itself was not a reasonable thing.

Assuming that humans did not face alien threats, did not receive technological assistance from alien civilizations, and no one could repeatedly bring scientific knowledge back from the future to the present, humans would have to promote scientific and technological development in a manner consistent with basic logic and rely solely on their own capabilities, gradually leaving Earth to explore the unknown.

In this process, the time required for the development of colonies and the human stellar system and the incubation and formation of key technologies must be multiplied by at least ten to several dozens of times.

Thus, for humans to become a stellar-level civilization from the year 2000 onwards, it would theoretically take at least 10,000 years.

To reach the scale of the current Morrowind Empire, a cycle of possibly 20,000 years is needed.

The longer the time, the larger the population base from birth to death will also be proportionally magnified.

It would take more accumulations of population to gradually build the current scale of the Empire.

In the process of development, Earthlings may still have to experience one large-scale interstellar war after another, continuously dividing and then unifying. Some stellar systems may be able to momentarily prevail and contribute, only to be eliminated later.

Humans will experience more internal wars and alternating peaceful evolutions. There will be conflicts between systems, ideologies, and confrontations on various levels.

The normal path of civilization’s ascension could not be the illogical, ladder-like leapfrogging progress in current history but would require a longer time, more participants, and a more tortuous spiral rise.

The intricate relationship between competition and cooperation at certain levels among small collectives under a large collective, the alternating evolution of war and peace, growth and recession, will gradually deepen humans’ understanding of the universe and themselves and bring a more complex and comprehensive thought evolution process to the whole of human civilization.

In this process, the development of human spiritual and material civilizations will take turns on the stage, forming a mutually antagonistic yet complementary relationship, and forming the two legs of civilization, with the civilization’s immense self-correction capability to provide harmony between these two legs.

Take the simplest example: In several Renaissance, Great Renaissance, and Artistic Outburst events, human’s spiritual civilization slightly preceded the material civilization, bringing a broader spread of knowledge and giving birth to more advanced scientific talents. This later fueled rapid progress in the material civilization, leading to the first, second, third…and Nth industrial and technological revolutions.

However, during the explosive periods of industrial and technological revolutions, the rapidly-expanding material civilization demands placed a distinct employment bias on humans and emphasized a more pragmatic social atmosphere. Under this social environment’s guidance, more people would incline to engage in material civilization-related work when making life choices.

Therefore, during such stages, the development speed of spiritual civilization would be suppressed by rapidly-growing material civilization.

Until one day, the collective consciousness of civilization will naturally realize that the lagging spiritual civilization is hindering the development of material civilization, leading to unrest and causing wars of various scales, resulting in stagnation or temporary regression of material civilization.
