As a modern person, Chu Ci still has some understanding of the four industrial revolutions.

After thinking about it, Chu Ci concluded: "There are four industrial revolutions, the first industrial revolution is mechanization, the second industrial revolution is electrification, the third is automation, and the fourth is intelligence. ”

"The interval is getting shorter, right?"

"Yes, each time not only has less and less time between them, but the impact has become greater and greater, and at the same time, it has also changed the direction of civilization development. ”

"The intervals are getting shorter and shorter, which already means a lot of things, and as time goes on, civilizations will evolve faster and faster, you see, the purpose of the purification operation is to make sure that no civilization that is evolving too fast suddenly pops up. ”

Chu Ci hummed slightly.

It's really as Yan Entropy said, everything is difficult at the beginning, and after this beginning, the evolution of civilization is getting faster and faster, and the pants can't catch up.

It is estimated that the Devonian is also afraid of this, a little careless, the rising star suddenly caught up, this was the case in the Carboniferous and Permian periods, I thought it would have to develop for tens of thousands of years, who knew that it took more than a thousand years to start coming to the universe, while fighting with them, while studying science and technology on the home planet, it really caused a lot of trouble to the Devonian.

Chu Ci said in detail: "The first industrial revolution was before the sixties of the eighteenth century, when the world was manual, no matter what to do, all rely on hands, that is, a piece of strength, do it, and after the first industrial revolution began, technological development is a huge leap, this change created the era of replacing hand tools with machines, and it is not the technology that is affected, but the form of the whole society. ”

"This is a turning point, and the future development of science and technology will be centered on this turning point. ”

"Anyway, after the first industrial revolution, the operation mode of the whole world has changed, textile machines, steam cars, small trains all came out at one time, not long, the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, the second industrial revolution began, the progress of science and technology and the upsurge of industrial production, so that the world has also entered the electric age from the steam age, the industrial focus has changed from the textile industry to heavy industry, and there have been electrical, chemical, petroleum and other emerging industrial sectors, generators, Electric motor phase, long-distance transmission technology, etc., in short, the electrical industry is developing rapidly, and electricity is also widely used in production and life. ”

After a pause, Chu Ci continued: "In particular, the internal combustion engine technology has provided the possibility for the development of the automobile and aircraft industries, and also promoted the development of the petroleum industry. ”

Yan Entropy snapped his fingers: "It's a fork in the road here." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Pollution and waste!" Yan Entropy spread his hands: "Environmental pollution leads to a shortage of resources, which is a waste and a short-term behavior. ”

Chu Ci shrugged his shoulders, not quite agreeing with what Yan Entropy said.

If there is a choice, everyone will choose non-polluting renewable resources, the problem is that there are no more options.

The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst.

It's like studying a nuclear bomb, who doesn't know that thing pollutes the environment, who doesn't know that thing is Pandora's box, but the living environment is there, you can't study it, plus the earth is not a government, all countries are competing, I don't study him, he will study, whoever doesn't study will be beaten, what environmental pollution is this, who cares, who cares?

"Do you know what other intelligent civilizations are generally studying when they reach your stage?"

"Researching renewable resources?"

"Perpetual motion machine!" Yan Entropy explained: "Although the law of conservation of energy is not particularly accurate, it can use energy to study the field of perpetual motion machine, although the initial cost is high and it is a waste of time, but the later benefits are also the highest, and the evolutionary direction is also the safest." ”

"You started working on perpetual motion machines and renewable resources when you went through this phase of the Devonian?"

"Nope. Yan Entropy said: "The Devonian is similar to you, and it also caused a lot of environmental pollution before leaving the earth. ”

"Then you're talking about the Three Ages?"

"Not really. ”

"Damn. Chu Ci rolled his eyes: "It's not the Three Eras, it's not the Devonian, then you say a fart." ”

"Didn't I say the right direction of development, and I didn't say that the Devonian period was the right one. ”

"And what's going on with the Devonian?"

"The universe is so big, and it's not just one earth that can be harmed, after the disaster is over, the earth will go to other planets, develop as soon as possible in the early stage, develop Feitian technology, no matter what environmental pollution resources are not enough, as long as you can fly out of the earth, and then colonize other planets to continue the scourge, it's over, how fragrant is this." ”

Chu Ci's face was speechless: "Isn't this the same as our earth, then we are now vigorously harming the earth, and it will be over if we research the flying technology, and after the disaster is done to the earth, we will go to other planets." ”

"The Devonian was able to do this because the three eras left the cosmic wall, understand, if you go out, the Devonian can beat you to death with a big mouth by the collar, believe it or not. ”

"yes, these bastards are too domineering. ”

Chu Ci sighed, it's really like this, Devonian Ji is lucky, when he left the novice village, there was no high-level tuba outside, if the earth went out, wearing cloth clothes and holding a wooden sword, how could he fight with others in a holy war?

The most infuriating thing is that people wear jihad, and they kill you not to explode the wooden sword and cloth clothes on your body, but to make you delete your number.

Chu Ci said angrily: "Then you said that this is a fart, and the Devonian does not protect the environment, how can you let us protect it?"

"Yes, I didn't say it was different, I guess the Three Epoques did the same. ”

"Then what are you and I doing here, big tail wolf. ”

"Doesn't this mean that external factors are affected, when the Devonian cultivated a new intelligent civilization race, it was based on this routine. ”

Chu Ci rolled his eyes: "Anyway, the first two industrial revolutions were this routine, and the third time, we human beings have been aware of the two major problems of environment and resources. Major breakthroughs have been made in the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering, this is the third time, but it is a scientific and technological revolution, the world has given birth to a large number of new industries, that is, the tertiary industry, the most epoch-making significance is the rapid development and extensive use of electronic computers, but also opened up the information age. ”

It can be said that the third scientific and technological revolution has brought about a great leap in the field of science and technology after the revolution in steam technology and electric power technology in the history of human civilization, with the invention and application of atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology and biological engineering as the main symbols, which involve information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, space technology and marine technology and many other fields.

In addition to science and technology, it has also greatly promoted the changes in the socio-economic, political and cultural fields of human beings, and at the same time affected the way of life and thinking of human beings.

Yan Entropy said to a lot: "It's a fork in the road again, but it's normal, out of a hundred intelligent civilizations, ninety-nine have gone wrong, what about the fourth time." ”

"The fourth is marked by the rise of systems science to the formation of systems biology, the integration of theories and technologies of systems science, computer science, nanoscience and life sciences to form a systems biology science and technology system, including systems biology and synthetic biology, systems genetics and systems bioengineering, systems medicine and systems biotechnology and other disciplines, which will lead to the industrial revolution of translational medicine and biological industry. ”

After a pause, Chu Ci said: "The third scientific and technological revolution is to recognize the problem of resources and the environment, and this time, it is to improve with resources and environment as the core. ”

This is true, with the population explosion and the rapid development of science and technology, people's living environment has been sharply compressed, and there are fewer and fewer species, whether it is forced or really want to benefit future generations, in short, the development of new energy is regarded as the core task of the fourth scientific and technological revolution.

From a strategic point of view, new energy itself is an economic development direction, to promote the development of new energy economy, can promote the transformation of energy structure and even economic structure, have a far-reaching impact on the national economy, but also the future of the world's competition focus, the future direction of the energy industry will be from energy resources to energy science and technology.

It can be said that the reason why countries are vigorously developing new energy is because once they succeed and are in the lead, then the future energy pattern may be dominated by their own countries.

The fourth scientific and technological revolution focusing on biotechnology has been achieved half, roughly a few cores, countries have been researching, and breakthroughs have been made, plastics will not be used as raw materials for oil, corn can be used as a substitute, and building materials will be replaced by fiber crops such as kenaf, as for the problem of oil, it is said that it can be completely replaced by straw, the most important thing is that the world's 500 million acres of barren land, saline-alkali land will become a paradise for plant growth.

Chu Ci raised his head and asked, "What do you mean when you just said that you want to calculate how much time is left?"

Before Yan Entropy could speak, Duan Shu directly hit the glass, and said cheaply: "In three hundred years, if you earth cubs don't develop technology that can colonize alien planets and use energy, it will definitely be over, but I guess you should be tossing yourself to death first." ”

Chu Ci couldn't help but nodded: "I agree with this, the people of the earth are not united, and the annual budget of various countries for new energy and environmental protection is less than one-tenth of the research on military weapons. ”

After thinking about it, Chu Cile said: "Don't say it, let alone the scientific and technological technology of colonizing aliens in three hundred years, even the probability of not having a third world war in three hundred years is very small." ”

"Even if you do it, it's useless. Yan Entropy said: "When you really start colonizing aliens, you will definitely be exposed to the sight of the Devonian, and it will be the same end." ”

Chu Ci smiled bitterly: "Both horizontal and vertical are dead." ”

Duanshu and Yan Entropy said in unison: "That's right." ”

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu can only live to be 100 years old at most. ”

Flame Entropy: "... ”

Duanshu commented pertinently: "Typical dick silk mentality!"

"According to what you say, nine out of ten people in the world have a dick silk mentality, if they live well, their sons and grandchildren can live well, who cares two or three hundred years later, anyway, they will hang up at that time, no matter if he is flooding, there are no selfless people in this world, let alone people who are selfless enough to consider a few hundred years later, believe it or not, nine out of ten people in the world think so. ”

Duanshu: "Ten out of ten." ”

Yan Entropy: "Correct solution." ”
