314 The so-called cliché
Time goes forward a few Earth days later.
The headquarters of the Galaxy Parliament is not actually called Tuochuan. It has a name derived from Haydn's language and is well-pronounced. This name is terrifying and does not look like it can be summarized into the two words "Tuochuan".
But the first diplomat and translator to arrive in Dochuan was a loyal reader of the ancient science fiction master Asimov, so he pronounced the name of the capital of the Galaxy Empire created by Asimov in the memory to commemorate the master.
Later, many human translators wanted to restore the correct translation name, but the correct translation name was too long. People who were used to translating names with only two characters still used the name of Tuochuan after the official modification of the translation name. In the end, the official had to change it back to the original translation name.
The surface of the planet Dochuan is not covered with a metal shell like the capital of the Galaxy Empire described by Asimov, but its land is indeed no different from covering metal: layered buildings cover the entire ground, and there is no real surface in the air except the seaside and mountainous areas where cities are difficult to build.
The entire Tuochuan is a giant city. It is the diplomatic center of the Milky Way and the largest trading market in the Milky Way. In addition, it is also the largest scientific research and exchange venue and military exercise venue in the Milky Way.
The status of Tuochuan is determined by the particularity of the star cluster where it is located. There were many giant stars in this star cluster, but now only a bunch of black holes and white holes are left behind. For civilizations that can join the Galaxy Parliament, black holes and white holes are equivalent to "main traffic channels". There are even races who actively accelerate the life process of supernova in order to facilitate their territorial trade and artificially create black holes. Unfortunately, where the black hole leads to, it is not certain, and it is normal to open in a place that has tens of thousands of light years around the open universe where there are no stars. So gradually everyone found that doing this is like trying a prize, which is too unreliable. So they gave up this approach.
Tuochuan is very lucky. There are six black holes around it that can be used. In addition, there are four black holes in the Milky Way. The corresponding white holes are within five thousand light years near Tuochuan. It is not surprising that this planet has become the center of the Milky Way. In fact, every terrestrial planet in the Cluster it is located has the hope of becoming the center of the Milky Way. It was just that the Haydn people just chose Tuochuan.
The choice of Haydn people eventually gave birth to this huge city, where goods from the entire Galaxy were gathered here. Even those "passing merchant ships" that did not need to stay in Tuochuan and could go directly to the black hole and go directly to Tuochuan and dock for an extra few thousand light years, collect some intelligence and information to see if they can bring some more easily carried goods, and then continue their journey.
In addition, there are quite a large number of merchant ships responsible for delivering goods to Tuochuan. Cargo owners usually deliver goods, check out, and then buy what they need to leave. Compared to purchasing goods in various places of origin in person, trading in Tuochuan is obviously much safer, so there are always timid merchants here who are waiting to eat goods and then slap their butts and go home only to go to the first line of business in their hometown and Tuochuan, which is safe and satisfactory.
With such a purchaser, there will naturally appear merchants who go to various places of origin to purchase various things and then transport them to Tuochuan to sell them with more risky sales.
If there are such merchants, there will be mercenaries.
If there are mercenaries, there will be companies that provide various services to mercenaries, weapons vendors, spacecraft manufacturers, biotechnology companies that provide body transformation, etc. The entry of these companies in turn attracts all kinds of people, such as pirates who intend to exchange their credit points for combat power after making a vote. It is of course dangerous for pirates to come directly to buy things. After all, there are Odwell people in the Galaxy Parliament who must not buy good and evil. Once the magistrate of Odwell will find the pirates, they will definitely issue sanctions, and then there will definitely be belligerent Turrets coming to execute this order.
So, provide false identities to pirates around Tuochuan so that their industries can flourish in Tuochuan.
In short, after tens of thousands of years of development, Tuochuan has become a symbol of the prosperity of the Milky Way. Almost every minute, there are amazing merchant ships that are warping to Tuochuan. In Tuochuan, you may even have an illusion that there are too many merchant ships in the Milky Way that can’t be blocked. But the fact is that most of the colonies in the Milky Way may only have a merchant ship visiting on Earth.
At this time, a secret meeting is in this prosperous Tuochuan.
The race at the meeting belonged to an organization called the "Galaxy Whigs" by human diplomats, and actually had nothing to do with the Whigs.
The only diplomats of the two major races who participated in this secret meeting were the core of the organization.
As one of the Big Ten of the Galaxy Parliament, Jiasu is undoubtedly the leader of this informal organization. It is no problem for the Swallows, who ranks eleven and second only to the Big Ten, to take the second place.
The chief diplomats of the two races met in this small house with completely isolated communication, not just for tea.
"We are still a little doubtful about the authenticity of this news." The chief diplomat of the Swallows looked thoughtful. "Although those aquatic creatures have a good reputation in the Galaxy Parliament, we will not think that they will not lie. It is too mysterious to think that super-civilized artificial intelligence determines that humans are descendants of super-civilized."
"But this matter makes logical sense. The nanomechanism used by human agents comes from super civilization, and you should know this."
"Will super-civilized artificial intelligence determine that humans are survivors for this reason? This is impossible, unless the other parts of humans have some similarities with super-civilizations, which are similar enough to make artificial intelligence determine that they are descendants. Therefore, we believe that this news is false news. The Galaxy Parliament has been established for so long, and the Big Ten and We have existed for a longer time. The super-civilization must have completely disappeared." In the language of the Swallow Clan, there is no word that refers to itself alone, only us, and the words that call others clearly distinguish individuals and groups. This can also reflect the characteristics of the Swallow Clan.
"But what if this is true?" Jiasu's chief negotiator leaned forward, "that means that other things in the super-civilized relics with independent judgment will determine that they are their masters as soon as they see humans. However, our think tanks have raised another possibility, that is, in fact, all humanoid races in the Milky Way are descendants of super-civilized."
"That's a cliché, Haydn's people don't like it."
"Of course they don't like it. It's because they don't like it that they build the Galaxy Parliament into what it is now. Obviously, most of the races that are qualified to join the Parliament are "human" creatures, but the ten giants of the Parliament are full of strange-shaped things, including balloons, planets, and guys like Odwell, plus the Shanghai Don people themselves, there are four non-human forms in the Galaxy Parliament. At first glance, there are six seats for humanoid creatures, but Elalai doesn't care about anything and abstains all day long. They can vote as much as the Tull people fight. There are only four races who will seriously consider voting again, and two of them are weird."
Chief Jiasu sighed.
What she said is a saying that has been circulating in the Galaxy Parliament that has known the existence of super civilization for a long time: the reason why most races in the entire Milky Way are similar in shape, with only the details changing is because there was a single race that colonized the entire Milky Way. This race was later destroyed, and only a small number of survivors survived on some planets. They lost contact with other survivors, and civilization and technology were also lost, so they could only start over. So there were so many races in the Milky Way with similar shapes but completely different cultures.
As for the differences in details, it was just the transformation of the powerful Galaxy race to adapt to different planets. Now various civilizations are doing similar things. For example, the Tula people have changed too much and have changed a new race that does not agree with their mother tribe.
There is no doubt that this civilization that produced most humanoid races in the Milky Way is the so-called super-civilization. The humanoid creatures in the Milky Way are descendants of the super-civilization.
Of course this is just a hypothesis. There is no evidence that this hypothesis is true. Most races in the Milky Way are humanoids. This can also be explained by the theory of natural selection: humanoids are indeed the most suitable form for creating civilization on "this planet". Races generated on planets of Earthlikeness will never be humanoids. There is already a lot of data to support it.
Therefore, there are many humanoid races, just because there are many terrestrial planets. After natural selection of organisms on terrestrial planets, humanoid civilization races will be born.
But there are some things that cannot be explained by the theory of natural selection.
For example, why do most humanoid races have only one pair of breastfeeding organs, and they are all in the upper front of the body? Logically speaking, the position of this thing does not affect the evolutionary survival rate. Putting it down a little, such as putting it on the belly will not make the species more fragile and be eliminated by natural selection. In fact, a bag on the belly stores the larvae and moving the breastfeeding organs into the bag seems to help improve the survival rate of the larvae, but no humanoid race evolved into this way.
The most important thing is that these humanoid races with similar locations and shapes have huge differences in genetic gene lengths, chromosome counts, etc., which makes this problem even more unexplainable.
There is also face that cannot be explained. The face structure of humanoid races is similar. In addition to a very small number of races in the culture, humanoid races will convey information through facial changes. Simply put, they all have expressions.
There are also many such places.
It is precisely because of this that the Elalays are regarded as symbols of beauty in most humanoid races in the Milky Way. In addition to some races, the Peng Rui people think that the Elalays are not green or beautiful at all.
So the so-called cliché has always been a long time since there were many supporters. The Jiasu people in the sixth seat of the Galaxy Parliament are firm supporters of this theory.
In fact, most of the organizations called the "Galaxy Whigs" by human diplomats also support this cliché race, but on the surface, no one said it.
