"You have such a high level of scientific knowledge. During your hundreds of thousands of years of wandering, you must have encountered many civilizations. Have you ever destroyed other low-level civilizations?"

"We have encountered them, but we have never communicated. Every communication between different civilizations is accompanied by danger, because you don't know what kind of existence it is. Perhaps a simple communication may cost lives. We have encountered many, but we have never taken the initiative to contact them. Maybe you think that if you find a low-level civilization and then destroy them, you can become the master of a planet, but there are too many risks. If we occupy a planet, if this planet has an owner, it means that we have to go to war with them. Any war can last indefinitely for the local civilization, but not for us. If we get into a continuous war, it will be devastating for our entire race because our energy is relatively limited."

"Have you ever considered using a deserted planet as a home base?"

"We had this idea, so we built this image recovery device. Every time we find a deserted planet, we will release the device to search for civilization relics and see if it is suitable for us to survive. We have encountered hundreds of thousands of deserted planets in the universe. Most of the planets have entered their old age, and the civilizations on these planets are also wandering in the universe. There are also some planets where they are fighting each other internally and completely destroyed their own planets. The entire environment has been completely destroyed, and the planet's axis has also shifted. Such planets can be repaired, but it will take a lot of time and resources, and there will be a lot of uncertainty after the repair. The last part of the deserted planets are resource-depleted planets. These planets are colonized by a certain alliance, and the alliance has drained the resources of this planet. Such planets are completely abandoned and the safest, but what value do such planets have?"

"If we discover a planet that can survive, we will choose to take the risk and give it a try. How can we know if it is viable if we don't give it a try?"

"You can take risks, because you are too few in number. Even if you choose to occupy it, you can choose to leave directly after being discovered. But we can't. Our spaceship carries our entire race. Any problem will be devastating. In addition, do you know what the biggest problem that restricts your development is?"

"Didn't you say that? It's our greedy nature!"

"This is just one of them. Your biggest problem is that you only have a short memory. This is the biggest obstacle to your development. You are like a fish in the human race. You only have a memory of seven seconds. I told you many stories about human planets, not to explain these events to you. I want to awaken your memory and make them think about whether your former home planet has such a history. But now I find that you don't have any. I don't understand why your first generation members preserved all scientific memories, but you didn't preserve the history that your ancestors once had. If your ancestors passed all your history to their next generation, and then passed it down from generation to generation, I guess your scientific cognition would not be so low now."

"We once had historical records, but we just didn't learn them. When you explained other histories, we started looking for our database. However, after hundreds of years of updates and changes, our superiors believed that these records were meaningless, so they cleared 90% of the history before the wandering. The only history we have now is the record of events after the wandering. We tried to restore the previously destroyed data, but failed."

"This is the ultimate reason for your short-sightedness. The planets we have seen, which have records of civilization and whose images we have restored, all the data can lead to a conclusion: any civilization without historical records will not have good results. Any civilization with historical records but not learning from them will not have good results. This is the general direction. The specific direction is that there will be many small races in any civilization. If a small race in this civilization is in power, but this small race does not have too many historical resources, then it will not have a long-term historical perspective. Although they also learn history, they are just using history. They will not learn lessons from history. If such a small race is in power, the possibility of the entire planet being destroyed is 80%. For any race on a planet, only if a nation with a deep historical record is the guide, the entire planet will develop in a better direction. This is the problem you are facing now, so we have to explain the history of other races to you, let you learn lessons from other history, and then we will choose whether to give you higher scientific cognition. We don't want to cultivate civilization destroyers. What we want is a high-quality civilization."

"In my impression, our race used to be a race of the jungle. We would rob any resources that could be robbed without thinking about the consequences. But it seems that in the past few decades, after reading the information you gave us, the entire race has changed. It seems that a system has been formed naturally, and we have a long-term idea for doing anything. Is this the power of historical records that you mentioned?"

"We have tried to contact every race in your alliance and explained the history to them. However, after many contacts, they only wanted higher technology and did not want to improve their cultivation. They had no interest in history. Finally, we came to the conclusion that only the Capricorn race met our requirements, which led to our current communication."

"We are just chatting now. You have explained so much. We can feel from your tone that all your activities in the solar system are also subject to some kind of constraints. So why do you still want to stay in that environment?"

"There is a famous saying in the culture of the human race: destruction or survival, this is a question. As long as we continue to wander, destruction and survival will always test us. If we choose to end our wandering, then we only need to face the issue of survival. In fact, in the process of communicating with Gendaya women and guardians, the problem we solve is the philosophical problem of destruction and survival."
