Chapter 251 The Cognitive Unity Trap

As a member of the shared consciousness cluster, 椘 has lost its self.

However, before entering the shared consciousness cluster, it briefly used the administrator's permission to make some corrections.

These corrections include making the shared consciousness cluster have a wrong understanding of the Civilization Federation, so as to mislead the new administrator.

After receiving this information, 8672804 will definitely ask other star cities for support, which is the core of 椘's plan.

The disadvantage of ultra-distance war is obvious, that is, it relies too much on firepower and energy. If both are poor, it is almost impossible to win in ultra-distance war.

It's like in the jungle, one side has 10 snipers and the other side has only 1 sniper. In the absence of any communication and influence between the two sides, it is almost impossible for 1 sniper to defeat 10 snipers.

So how can this impossible become possible?

Apply other misleadings!

For example, sound, language, movement, etc.

And these become extremely difficult to achieve at ultra-distance.

If 椘 wants to win, it needs to block the influence of ultra-distance, which is what it is doing now.

Everything is for waiting and preparation.

"Why is there so little energy in this Star City?" After 8672804 took full control of /Star City, it found that this Star City was worse than it had imagined.

The shared consciousness cluster replied that the Civilization Federation had already colonized /Star City, and a large amount of energy was transported from /Star City by the Civilization Federation.

"Such a civilization with strong invasive and colonization characteristics must be eliminated."

"The entire Star City is now immediately decomposed into starships, and a message is sent back to ask the supporting Star City to bring more energy."

"Now, launch a probe to detect the enemy's movements at this time."

...

The Federation did not know about the decision of the 椘, and the federal officials and scholars such as Fennelly were still waiting for the 椘 to respond, at least to open the Star City.

But what they waited for was the probe.

These /Star City probes began to attack indiscriminately after observing the Federation probes.

"What's wrong with the 椘? Is it still choosing to stand on the side of its own civilization?"

Fennelly was extremely angry.

He quickly retracted all the probes, and his own spaceship also returned to the border port of the Silk Road of the Universe.

The Border Port is a trading post between the Federation and Star City. It is very new, and many equipments have not been built yet. The most important ones are the super-hedge material transfer and super-hedge energy device.

The entire Star Port looks like a crescent moon with a diameter of more than 500,000 kilometers. The center of the crescent moon is a group of super-hedge devices. The largest device has a diameter of more than 20,000 kilometers, which is for the transformation of planetary giant ships in the future.

There are no weapons here on the surface.

When Fennelly returned here with other officials and scholars, he immediately started to send some intelligent spacecraft to test Star City.

What is Star City's attitude towards them now?

"According to previous speculation, if the Olive Branch Civilization wants to take charge of Star City again, then the new manager has arrived now, right?"

They did not observe 8672804's spaceship. It is likely that due to the level of technology, the spaceship 8672804 was almost invisible under their detectors.

"What if the new manager brings some new secret key to take over Star City again?"

As soon as this was said, all officials and scholars were silent.

It is indeed possible.

"So we must now designate Star City as our enemy. Prepare both defensive and offensive weapons, report back, and send more giant ships for support."

"We must also be prepared to retreat and abandon the back end of the Cosmic Silk Road."

Explors and merchants must be cleared out. There are basically no civilians here, which will make the retreat faster.

Five years later, a round of collisions began.

Thousands of ships sent by Fennelly were destroyed, and it was confirmed that Star City had turned into an enemy. The Federation once again entered a state of war readiness.

Just after waiting for 20 years, the Cosmic Silk Road was peaceful again. The Federation was a little confused. What was going on now?

In fact, they didn't know that Star City was just testing, because 8672804 didn't know as much about the Federation as he did.

After the first round of testing, 8672804 found a problem. Through the Federation's ships, it did not think that the Federation had the ability to compete with its own civilization.

The same was true for the collected wreckage of the Federation warships.

However, the shared consciousness cluster told it again: "This place is more than 200 light years away from the Civilization Federation, and there are no top weapons of the Federation here."

In this way, it can be explained.

Although there are still some minor problems, 8672804 does not intend to delve into it. This is not what it should do as a manager.

As early as tens of thousands of years ago, Yan Xia discovered a problem when he was in /Star City. The managers of the Olive Branch Civilization can easily fall into the cognitive unity trap.

If a life first understands a piece of knowledge, it will use this knowledge as a benchmark to distinguish similar knowledge. If the received similar knowledge does not match the knowledge he originally understood, most lives will not accept the new knowledge, but will look for unity and then reject the new knowledge, even if their original knowledge is wrong and the new knowledge is correct.

This still comes from the chaos in the essence of life.

This kind of new knowledge iterating old knowledge is a very orderly behavior.

To put it simply, life often chooses a more labor-saving way to move. Here, life is not just a whole life, but also every cell in a life.

Compared with maintaining the old ideas, the process from old to new consumes some energy. After all, these ideas do not pose a fatal threat to this life.

Of course, it is not just this aspect that makes life fall into the cognitive unity trap. There are other aspects, such as the old ideas are their own, and the new ideas are foreign. Life itself will resist foreign things, especially when there are already things in this position.

And 8672804 fell into this trap easily.

At this time, it firmly believed that the Civilization Federation was a powerful civilization. Even at this time, another will told it that the Civilization Federation was much weaker than the Olive Branch Civilization. It could not change this view, and even suspected that the other party was a spy of the Civilization Federation, wanting it to take it lightly.

8672804 flew outside and saw the tallest building in Star City. This building returned to the dark rectangular structure before.

"What is it used for?"

The shared consciousness cluster replied: "The core of the Glorious Glory of Gais."

8672804 left in disgust.

Like Zhu, as independent consciousness, the managers hope that the Olive Branch Civilization will be bound by the Glorious Glory of Gais, but at the same time they do not want to enter the Glorious Glory of Gais.

This is a serious double standard behavior, but because the group of managers is not large, the total number of active managers and backup managers in the entire Olive Branch Civilization is estimated to be no more than 200, so this double standard has not been magnified.

8672804 did not know that it had fallen into a cognitive trap again, and it did not doubt the shared consciousness cluster.

Otherwise, it would have known that what was stored there was the "self" of all citizens of Star City.
