Chapter 170: Reason and Wisdom

A titanium-white and green complement each other, and the column with the four big characters of "North China Travel Extension" scribbled on the green area dragged a faint blue light, quietly poking its head out from behind the moon's surface. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the blink of an eye, the entire body of this spacecraft used for the transfer of people and materials between the Earth and the Moon was covered with a faint mist, and it was impossible to find it between the reflection of the planets and the sun in an instant......

In Chen Heng's eyes, he is now moving towards the bilunar planet at a slightly slower speed in the third universe. The large screen in the cabin of the hexagonal cylinder shows exactly what orbit the spacecraft will enter, where it will land, as well as the surrounding natural and man-made objects, and of course, their trajectories and predicted trajectories.

Chen Heng's hand slid slightly to the yellow box in the corner of the screen, zoomed in, and zoomed in again. The yellow box is marked "unknown man-made celestial body" in Chinese, and when Chen Heng clicks on it, it prompts "estimated to be a weather detector, no threat".

The standard systems carried by these spacecraft are not loaded with any pre-23rd century man-made celestial information, and it is understandable that the weather satellite cannot be recognized, but its backward appearance makes Chen Heng instantly recognizable - the same kind of pioneers of space exploration in his homeland that he witnessed in museums as a child......

Regardless of whether he was armed or not, the two big characters "Fengyun" on the satellite and the Chinese flag side by side with these two words made him feel very cordial, so cordial that he could relax all his vigilance and lean his back on the soft recliner to catch his breath.

After the spacecraft enters the atmosphere, the powerful anti-gravity engine continuously draws energy from the outside world and "hangs" the spacecraft to counteract the effects of planetary gravity. Soon, after the gravitational and anti-gravity outputs have equalized, the ship begins to descend at a uniform speed, with an infrared response so small that it is almost unnoticeable.

The spacecraft soon "melted" into the surface in a transparent manner. In the depths of the underground, there were already several artificial intelligences dressed as non-elves waiting for Chen Heng's arrival at the entrance.

The airtight door opened, and the first thing Chen Heng saw was the figure he was most familiar with among the artificial intelligence on this planet.

"Long time no see, Mr. Chen Heng. What does 20,000 years feel like? ”

"Long time no see, Elizabeth." Chen Heng generously went up and shook hands with the man in front of him, "Actually, I just slept for a while, nothing special." Didn't you and I just meet yesterday? ”

"One day in the world, a thousand years in the world." Elizabeth smiled and let go of her hands, "Well, let's get started." ”

In the living room, the AI and the human are separated by a table and sit face to face at each end of the table.

"You already have a general understanding of the current state of affairs, in the style of Mr. Chen Heng that I am familiar with."

"Of course." Chen Heng nodded. "I just don't know the details. Humanity in the 21st century, my ancestors, is that true? ”

Elizabeth nodded.

"I now believe that my ancestors had the ethical and scientific basis for understanding all technologies, and that's probably fine." Chen Heng cocked Erlang's legs, "In terms of personal likes and dislikes, I prefer to let my ancestors have stronger science and technology in advance, so as to enter the space age in advance." You know that, Elizabeth, right? ”

"The Fourth Industrial Revolution is a revolution in artificial intelligence and neural thinking networks." Elizabeth nodded, "As long as these technologies are broken through, the physical and philosophical problems based on human observations are just a blank slate." Space folding technology, dimensional space expansion technology, singularity delay-free communication technology, all pillars of civilization are the same. ”

"Of course, the problem is not technology and ethics, and the acceptance of artificial intelligence in the 21st century seems to be repulsive and contradictory, but in fact it is very mature."

"The reason why it is mature is because there are discussions, quarrels, and contradictions."

"The whole country is unanimous, there is no noise, that is not mature at all. Mature human beings will also have the process of 'weighing the profit and loss', rather than simply thinking about one type of thinking to arrive at one answer. Even the evolution of living things depends on the noise in the process of reproducing genetic information, doesn't it? ”

Elizabeth nodded and motioned for Chen Heng to continue.

"For example, artificial intelligence also has a differential impact on the logic of thinking. The reason for the Z state of affairs is precisely because the opinions of different AIs lead to conflicts, and you choose the more reasonable side between the two as a means of dealing with it. ”

"Exactly." Elizabeth smiled approvingly, "I'm glad that we can still reach such an agreement after 20,000 years, Mr. Chen Heng." ”

"What 20,000 years are here, it's just a dream for me, I'm still me." Chen Heng drank the iced lemon tea in the glass on the table, "I say so, you also know where the bottleneck of human acceptance of these technologies is, right?" ”

"Round table...... No, the Order Maintenance Committee still doesn't know much about this, so we still want to hear Mr. Chen Heng's opinion. ”

"The period from the First Industrial Revolution, the beginning of Britain's globalization process, to the stabilization of the global order brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is called the 'adolescence' of the earth's civilization." Chen Heng's hand swiped in the void, and a holographic projection model instantly appeared on the desktop.

"Before this, no country or force can grasp the whole picture of this world, and human civilization cannot call itself the civilization of the earth. In this stage of mankind's development from a regional civilization to a global civilization, extremism is of course indispensable, and national socialism is interfering in it and turning back the clock of history. As a result, there have been several major setbacks and upheavals in such a process. Specifically, humanity in 2021 is standing in the middle of one of these great upheavals. ”

For human beings on earth, the future is a black box one after another, and only when you open it can you know if there is a SchrΓΆdinger's cat inside; For Chen Heng, it was all the old stories he heard from his teacher in middle school......

"It's not just the existence of Iraq, but the extreme thinking of all countries has reached a climax during this time period. The rise of national socialism, the collective revival of militarism in the East, and the surging of fundamentalist forces in Central and West Asia should not be underestimated, and there are always people who regard extreme practices as the best solution to a series of complex problems such as extremist ideology, contradictions between ethnic groups, and economic problems. It's a tangle that humanity has to go through to evolve and eventually globalize, but it's a key factor that must be taken into account when it comes to deciding whether or not to hand over all our technology! ”

The culmination of globalization is the understanding of nations and nations in the twenty-second century based on technological take-off. Of course, China's acquisition of these technologies is conducive to untying this current knot in advance, but Chen Heng's concern is clearly a different situation.

Will China, which has obtained these advanced technologies, take a detour? Chen Heng can't guarantee this. In contemporary China, there have long been hotbeds of extreme militarism and national socialism, and even in the early 22nd century, extremists in the Pan-Asian Alliance who advocated "one outright war" to solve the problems of all but the yellow race were not uncommon.

So if China had acquired technologies that were hundreds of years ahead of its time, capable of creating an overwhelming generational gap between all potential and historical rivals, and waged war against them, would this be the outcome Chen Heng wanted?

War and conquest can solve the problems at hand, and they can bring the fastest benefits. But the problem itself is not static, how many aggressors are forced to swallow their own bitter fruits in the end? Hemingway wrote this situation very clearly - you can destroy me, but you can never defeat me!

If it is because of his own decision that a deformed monster called the "Chinese Empire" is finally born, and then this monster finally reverses the earth civilization back to the stage of human civilization, and even shatters human civilization again, then there is no doubt that Chen Heng will suffer for the rest of his life: the bridge to the "sea of stars" is first and foremost an open society, and then a consensus is born in society to limit the use of technology - just like the consensus reached by human beings in Geneva not to take acts of war against civilians, this is the original rationality of human beings; China's act of war in Elta is not the extermination of the Eltas, but the irrational actions of the Eltas; In the same way, if human beings want to truly digest the technology that Project Z is going to transfer, they must express the corresponding wisdom and rationality, otherwise they will be eaten up by advanced technology, and even lead to their own demise.

"I do understand this very clearly with you." Elizabeth lowered her head after listening to Chen Heng's narration, "This is indeed what we have been worried about. So how does Mr. Chen Heng want to verify whether they have enough 'wisdom and rationality'? ”

"I want to see the outside world for myself." Chen Heng stretched his waist, "For the Elta people who have declined in civilization, whether my ancestors guided them with a progressive attitude or oppressed them with an attitude towards tools, I think artificial intelligence alone may not be able to see the deep meaning." It's not that quick to make a decision, that's my consideration. What is the Committee's intentions? ”

"To this day, this is something we didn't expect." Elizabeth showed a helpless expression, "Why were those people able to bypass us, and even your colleagues' supervision and authorization to open the escape teleporter, and also rebuild and customize the appearance of the teleporter?" This is even an event that we can't figure out. Mr. Chen Heng, you are the key to dealing with all these issues, and our Order Maintenance Committee will be fully subordinate to your opinions and orders from now on, as long as they do not violate basic logic. ”
