Chapter 175: The Tree of Knowledge
"The ability of this subordinate is too strong, I feel so stressed." On the way back, the dragon king muttered.
That's right, the dragon king is feeling the pressure.
Ma Jun and Mo Liang are so talented, they have actually begun to study the steam engine, although it is still just a prototype, but with the guidance of the Dragon King, coupled with the hands-on ability of the two, will the steam engine be far away?
Obviously, it's not far off.
His subordinates are so powerful, as a dragon king, and he is also a dragon king with creation skills, he feels a little embarrassed.
Creationism is indeed very powerful, but at the same time, it also has a huge flaw, and this flaw of course refers to the consumption of faith points, which is too great.
In addition to the fact that the faith points consumed are too large, there are also level restrictions on creation, many things the dragon king wants to create, but limited to the level of creation, he can't create them, and at the same time, the special abilities of the created items cannot be inherited, which is also a limitation.
It is precisely because of the various defects of the creation technique that although the dragon king has created a lot of items until now, to be honest, when creating these items, the dragon king's attitude is very casual.
This casual means that although he created these items, he did not think carefully about the follow-up planning of these items, and most of them created what was needed.
Now that Ma Jun and Mo Liang have figured out the prototype of the steam engine, what is behind the steam engine? There are internal combustion engines, engines, and they can cover almost most modern machinery.
To sum up, the steam engine has more potential than the items created by the dragon king now, and the potential here refers to the huge effect and wide application.
In view of this, the Dragon King felt that he couldn't lag behind these two guys, and he also had to create something with more potential.
........
What is the greatest invention in the history of mankind? Probably everyone's answer is different, because human beings have invented so many things, and many things can be called great.
For example, the steam engine, the steam engine set off the third industrial revolution in human history, such as electric light, electric light brought continuous light to people, so that the social process of human beings entered a new stage, such as antibiotics, antibiotics make human resistance to disease higher and higher, human life expectancy is greatly extended, and then such as printing, printing has made books cheaper, popularized in thousands of households.
The Dragon King, on the other hand, believes that mankind's greatest invention is the computer and the Internet.
The existence of computers and the Internet has made the accumulation of human knowledge unprecedentedly explosive, since the Internet began to appear, in just a few decades, human scientific and technological civilization is simply advancing at a leap speed.
Why do modern people have a sense of superiority when they travel through ancient times? Of course, because of the accumulation of knowledge, in the era of the Internet, as long as you can go online, its accumulated knowledge is far more than in ancient times, if you don't understand anything, then what kind of superiority can you have? There's no way to put a fork on it...
Before this, although the dragon king had thought about creating the Internet and computers in advance, this idea was only fleeting, because he subconsciously thought that creation could not create these things.
But now, stimulated by Ma Jun and Mo Liang, this idea came to mind again.
Yes, computers and the Internet certainly can't be created at once, but can we create some parts and then slowly put them together, just like we did when we create a car? For example, start with an Internet-like platform?
With this thought, the dragon king found that he couldn't restrain this impulse, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
"Computers and the Internet, the most important thing is, of course, the Internet, this is an interactive platform, with this platform, many ideas can be implemented, so, can we create a platform like the Internet?"
The internet is virtual, and this platform can exist anywhere, so the dragon king changed his mind a little and put his mind on the plants he liked.
"If you can create a plant that has the ability to store and output information, then it can be considered a platform, right?"
It's like a book, there is no text on it, write it down with a pen, and there is knowledge in the book, but what the dragon king has to do is turn the book into a plant.
But if you want to do that, you have to solve a number of problems.
"First of all, such a plant must have intelligence, the brain capacity must be large enough, and the speed of thinking must be fast, well, it is similar to supercomputing, this can be solved, even if it is not similar to supercomputing, at least it can have a certain amount of wisdom, for certain instructions, it will obey."
This is something that can be created by a second-level creation.
"Secondly, it can receive information and store information, which is a bit enough, how to receive it? Do you write on the bark with your hands? Isn't this obviously a good way to speak to it? It seems that if you can give back information, then let it feedback in the way of speaking. ”
I don't want to think about it, but when I think about the Dragon King, I find that it's actually quite simple.
"In this way, you can create a plant that can speak, it can be dull, but it can execute certain instructions, it can store and output information, for example, today, I read a thousand-word text to it, and then it can remember it, and let it memorize it."
"Hey, in this way, you can think of this plant as a computer, and I can also see it as a computer, I and it have formed the Internet before, and when we interact with each other, we are quite advanced, and we use voice communication." The Dragon King was happy.
"It doesn't seem like a big problem, the second-level creation technique can definitely be created."
"If you create this kind of plant, you can send people to take turns to talk to it, such as agricultural knowledge, mechanical skills, all kinds of school of thought, etc., let it remember, a person's knowledge is quite limited, ten people and a hundred people, then the knowledge is rich, and if you don't understand it in the future, you can ask it to know the answer, just like a thousand degrees... You can find it with a search. ”
The benefits of this plant are so great that people can share their knowledge with others at any time, even books, just like the decline of paper media in the Internet age.
"This is just a relatively primitive Internet, because it must be face-to-face communication, and it is limited to words, and when the level of creation is high, you can also create plants that communicate remotely, and even do video communication, long-distance shopping, etc., just like the real Internet, but the platform carrying the network is not a computer, but a plant."
There are many things that you can never turn around when you don't think about them, but if you think about them, it feels very simple.
"This plant can store knowledge, and it can also allow learning knowledge, in this case, let's call it the tree of knowledge, well, a generation, a generation of the tree of knowledge!"
