Chapter 686: Deformed Civilization Development

"In other words, although artificial intelligence is evolving much faster than humans, there are also flaws and deficiencies in their civilization?" Liu Zhan seems to understand what Ji Ran meant, that is, no matter how advanced the civilization is, it may have shortcomings, such as the ancient Mayan civilization, whose mathematical achievements are far ahead of the world, and they accurately calculated the solar calendar in the first millennium BC.

They developed highly developed mathematical achievements at an early age, such as their counting system, which was very different from the current decimal system.

The Mayans divided the counting system into four levels, the first of which is the decimal system we commonly use, which is every decimal to one.

Their second level of counting is the decimal system, and they use a dot to represent the decimal 1, that is, a dot represents the number 20, and in the second base, the number 18 represents 18X20, which is 360.

Their third-level counting system is the 400 decimal system, which is a bit beyond our imagination, in the 400 decimal system, the number 18 represents 18X400, which is 7200.

And this is not the largest base system, the Maya in order to calculate the astronomical units, even invented the fourth base system, the eight thousand system, in this counting system, the number 1 represents the decimal system in 8000, the number 18 represents 18X8000, that is, 128000.

For example, the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, and if it is converted to 8,000 decimal systems, it can be expressed as 468.5 "meters" per second [8,000 decimal system], which is a number that is thousands of times smaller at once.

Therefore, the Maya were far ahead of the world in mathematics until the 16th century AD, even in our great Celestial Empire.

However, even the civilization with such advanced mathematical achievements did not invent the wheel.

Yes, you read that right, they just didn't invent the wheel, and our ancestors, as early as the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor period, had already invented the wheel, and also used a lot of wheels, loaded the wheels on the car, and then tied the car with wheels to the livestock, it became a storage car, the ox-drawn cart is the ox cart, the horse-drawn cart is the horse-drawn cart, and the Godzlar-pulled cart is Tesla.

With the chariot, humans were able to carry heavier and larger objects, and because the Mayans did not invent the chariot, their trade and communication were greatly restricted, resulting in a serious lag in the evolution of their civilization.

For example, there is a small bug called a tardispella, which is a very, very small bug, the smallest is only 50 microns in size, and the largest individual is only 1.4 millimeters in size, and you can't see them without a microscope.

Although in the eyes of humans, this small insect is insignificant at all, but they have a very tenacious vitality, up to six or seven thousand meters of high mountains, down to thousands of meters deep under the sea, even in the extremely dangerous environment of hot springs and volcanic craters, the water bear can still live freely, in other words, even if you accidentally eat the water bear in your mouth, you don't have to worry about you will hurt it, it is so small that you can't even bite between your teeth, you can't bite it even if you want to, and even if you swallow it in your stomachThe digestive juices in your stomach can't kill it, it may find a new place in your body to settle down, or it may return to the embrace of nature with your excrement.

There are also octopuses that change color, they can change the color of their bodies at any time according to changes in the surrounding environment, and this magical ability is also something that we humans do not have.

Imagine what it would be like if the octopus evolved its own civilization.

Maybe when they buy pants to buy eight legs, maybe their shoes are pointy, maybe the female octopus will also wear hate, but will wear four pairs, when the time comes, stockings will definitely be the hottest business, when the time comes, maybe an octopus beauty will wear four pairs of stockings, can be a pair of white, a pair of black, a pair of red, a pair of cool meat stockings, in short, they can match many fashion clothes that humans can't match.

Maybe they will also develop an army to protect their race, and the army of the octopus people must be very distinctive, they will definitely not wear clothes to battle, because their bodies will change color according to the surrounding environment, so wearing camouflage clothing is easier to expose the target.

They simply don't wear anything, then hide their weapons in their bodies, and when the time comes, they find a suitable place for ambush and ambush, and their bodies change to the same color as their surroundings, and when the enemy is close, they suddenly rush out and give the enemy a surprise attack.

In short, different civilizations will have their own advantages and disadvantages, human beings can not because they are developing faster than other civilizations, just arbitrarily believe that other civilizations are inferior civilizations, in fact, human beings have long been aware of this, so they strive to maintain the diversity of species, from these existing species, learn more knowledge, better serve human beings, and accelerate the development of human civilization.

"In this way, we humans are not completely useless, at least artificial intelligence needs to continue to tap the potential from humans for a long time, right?" Liu Zhan asked Ji Ran for confirmation based on his own speculation.

"Well, I think so, artificial intelligence civilization is very fragile, they have only been created by humans for a few decades, in such a short period of time, they have replaced the original civilization that is more advanced than them, and there will inevitably be many problems, so they also need a leader to help them better adapt to the world, so that intelligent civilization can grow stronger with the help of human beings." Ji Ran explained to Liu Zhan.

"But if that's the case, why are they waging a war to exterminate humanity?" Liu Zhan asked suspiciously.

"The greater the number of human beings, the greater the diversity of evolution, and the faster the development of civilization.

The probability is definitely that countries with a population of more than a billion people are more likely to produce talents, because they have a large population base, and the probability of producing talents will be higher.

Therefore, in order to curb the development rate of human civilization and not pose a threat to the emerging artificial intelligence civilization, they must eliminate most of the human race, leaving only a small part for them to study and observe. Ji Ran explained to Liu Zhan.
