Fang, the first-level executive officer of the Interstellar Civilization Observation Department, codenamed "Fang Knight". Her former home planet was a dark galaxy that spread "civilization locks" to the universe.
Her mission: Planet X. A planet with critical technology but stagnant for a hundred years. Scans of the Interstellar Alliance show that its society has been stuck in a period of idle stagnation for a long time, but it cannot analyze the root cause - a "memetic pathogen" based on primitive fear and anxiety, which has long been separated from the cognitive framework of advanced civilization.
Sharptooth and her apprentice Ari were ordered to infiltrate. They need to stop being spectators and fully integrate into it, becoming a part of it: living, socializing and feeling as locals. In those daily lives and conversations, in the repression and internal friction of those precision operations, you can touch with your own hands the set of invisible codes that will lock the entire civilization.
This is an unprecedented "immersive diagnosis". Fang must face the dark past of his own origin in order to complete the task.
Concepts and explanations that emerged:
Conscious intrusion is a high-tech empathy method that allows the executive to access the memory and emotional experience of the target individual and obtain a first-person perspective.
Meme A cultural idea or pattern of behavior that can spread through a civilization like a virus. The "disease" of Star XH stems from a series of harmful "raw emotional memes".
Civilization Health Model is a system used by the Alliance to scan the development status of civilization and monitor macro indicators such as energy, social emotions, and structural complexity.
Idle homeostasis refers to a pathological balance in which the development of civilization has stagnated and all energy and creativity are directed toward internal consumption rather than breakthrough progress.
Emotional Algorithm/Original Emotional Virus refers to the logical model that drives the society of Planet XH and is based on irrational emotions such as fear, anxiety, and blood obsession. It is regarded by the Alliance as a "virus" that needs to be cracked.
Cognitive immunity experiment After understanding the harmful meme, design a small-scale intervention to test whether the target civilization can build "psychological antibodies" against the meme.
Baseline test: A psychological stability test conducted by AI "Themis" to ensure that the executive's emotional state is stable and controllable before performing tasks.
Micro intervention is an action strategy that gradually changes social cognition and behavior by affecting individuals or small groups, as opposed to macro policy intervention.
The cleanup plan refers to the systematic task of diagnosing, intervening, and cognitively reconstructing the XH planet, emphasizing "cracking the algorithm" rather than physical destruction.
Purpose: When the development of a young civilization is restricted by the civilization lock of the dark galaxy and comes to a standstill, Fang, the former heir of the dark galaxy, will bring light to the "locked" galaxy! The story of an independent woman, a story of alien field observation:)
