After teasing the fat man, Chen Feng was in a good mood.

Even Ryan, who was next to him, had a knowing smile on his face.

Ou Junlang is not really that waste, he is quite talented in singing.

As for other aspects, it's really hard to say.

Chen Feng felt strange.

Because the fat man is just stupid on the surface, his brain is still very good, when he was rectifying Zhou A, the fat man's tricks and tricks surprised Chen Feng fiercely, but I don't know why, he just can't do things.

Maybe this is fate, the starting line of life is someone else's end, and his life's luck is exhausted.

This may be fate.

Ignoring the fat man, Chen Feng chatted with Ryan again.

The two first chatted about the recent situation of the Xingfeng Research Institute.

"None of those people came looking for trouble, did they?"

"It's gone. That's it all this morning. Ryan nodded, "Actually, Mr. Ou is responsible for these things, and I haven't been involved much." You know, I'm not very good at dealing with that. ”

Chen Feng smiled: "With your mind, if you want to learn, there should be nothing in this world that you can't learn." The essence of politics is actually a matter of psychology and statistics. ”

"If you don't like it, you can't learn it profoundly, so it's not interesting. No matter how seriously I think about it, I am not as good as some natural politicians, the so-called political sense is partly based on experience, and partly based on intuition, and some people are naturally good at it. ”

Chen Feng nodded, "So this is the incredible place of human beings." Intuition is important and allows us to do more than we can handle. ”

Ryan: "Like defeating an alien invader that would otherwise be impossible to defeat?" ”

"Yes."

Ryan sat down next to him, "So what do you think is intuition?" ”

Chen Feng: "Let's speculate on what the human mind is. The ancients thought it was the soul, the fairy tale talked about divine consciousness, and the top programmers thought that thinking was a particularly complex program. Of course, in the 21st century, there are also people who believe that the human mind is actually a quantum collapse in a phosphorus atom. ”

Ryan: "I agree with the last statement, but this is more metaphysical and cannot be conclusively proven. At the same time, it also negates the feasibility of another technology that many people now look forward to, that is, the possibility of mind transfer and mechanical immortality. ”

"I agree with that. Because a thousand years later, I see a much more definite statement, much more complex than a simple quantum collapse of phosphorus atoms. Countless ultra-low-level quantum collapses converged together to form a quantum brainstorm. The essence of our thinking is a quantum storm that is both regular and irregular. Our memories are the more regular part of the quantum storm, and our temporarily divergent thoughts are the irregular part. ”

"Neither part can exist independently, but must rely on each other to be considered a complete person. When we learn something new, the quantum storm in the brain is irregular at first. However, through training and strengthening memory, the originally irregular quantum storm begins to show a certain pattern, and then the memory is formed. Of course, memories are forgotten. The reason for forgetting is that the quantum itself tends to be irregular, and the laws formed by forcibly kneading can be maintained for a certain period of time, but the tendency to move from order to disorder cannot be stopped. ”

Ryan, "But we can also re-establish the law by re-learning and re-applying it in our work life." ”

Chen Feng nodded, "Hmm." We can think of our fragmented memories as one small whirlpool after another that makes up a quantum storm. Due to the differences in what they have learned and what they have dabbled in, these small whirlpools will belong to the same type, and they will form some plausible connections with each other. It's hard to be aware of this connection, but at certain moments, when our emotions have a special desire for something, the desire to solve the problem becomes the driving force and allows the larger pattern to emerge naturally, which becomes our intuition. ”

Ryan: "So you think intuition should be based on a relatively complete body of knowledge?" ”

"Of course. I'll give you an example, top programmers are usually very smart people, but if you let him do the carpenter's work. He was faced with a difficult problem, and he couldn't think of a way to do it. But if you are a carpenter, you can solve the problem with just a flash of inspiration. And vice versa, let the top carpenter programming, even if he has learned a little basic knowledge, but in the face of things outside his own knowledge framework, there is no way, even if the programmer has not learned, but can rely on the accumulation of knowledge in related fields to complete a self-divergence. ”

Ryan: "So the mystery of human beings is intuition? We can always do more than we can do in our own right, and that makes our ceilings infinitely high. So the compound eye civilization must destroy us? ”

"Yes, put yourself in the shoes of others, our potential is so strong that I am afraid of it. But this is only one of the reasons, in fact, the compound eye civilization is not only the earthlings that want to be eliminated, they are all carrying out the same strategy against other civilizations in the entire galaxy. ”

Ryan: "Is that so?" Stocking? ”

"Captivity."

"To what extent is it generally kept in captivity?"

Chen Feng thought for a while, "I can't be 100% sure of this. You all know about the solar system barrier, right? I speculate that if it were a civilization that had been locked in by the barrier in advance, they might have allowed it to go at least two levels or more, but we haven't seen this before. The farthest man has only left the solar system for less than 200 light-years, and he hasn't even seen the Orion Arm. As far as the ruins we have found, they are basically in the vicinity of first-class civilizations. ”

Ryan: "I can't imagine you also using the outdated expression Kardashev grading. ”

Chen Feng smiled, "It's easy to understand, you can understand what I mean by the first-level civilization as the level of mastering the ability to colonize across star systems." The second-level civilization understands that it has mastered the mass-energy transformation technology, and has a preliminary exposure to the curvature space and the degree of subtle quark control. ”

"Well, that is, civilizations that can be locked up in advance by compound eyes, they will let it go for a long time. But they only have one hood, so most of them are wiped out before traveling across star systems. ”

"Yes."

Ou Fatzi, who was listening to the fog next to him, was finally able to interject a sentence, "Then I don't think they are very fierce, they can make people develop for so long." ”

Chen Feng rolled his eyes, "You know a fart." When the earthlings were first targeted, they were developing at a normal rate, and it was at least nearly a thousand years before they sailed across the star system. ”

Fatty: "Then it's normal for them to lock us up in advance." ”

Chen Feng didn't deny it, "You shut up for me, normal fart!" None of them intended to leave us relics! ”

Regarding this incident, the planning institute that read his memory in this timeline had calculated.

According to the level of science and technology and the speed of development in the first timeline, it will take at least 1,000 to 2,000 years for human beings to stably achieve cross-star system-level colonization.

According to the habit of the compound eye, then humans should be given at least another thousand years, waiting until about 3,500 years before putting the barrier, and 4,000 years before harvesting.

Don't look at the gap of just a thousand years.

However, Chen Feng came to another conclusion from the feedback from the Proxima Centauri fleet later, that the compound eyes only had one solar system barrier.

Then this side acts a thousand years in advance, which is equivalent to occupying the quota of another captive civilization that has been locked up by the barrier and provided them with technological inspiration.

So the fat man's blind analysis that doesn't understand anything is purely trouble-making.

"But I still can't figure it out. If the compound eyes are really as ruthless as Master said, they should see one and destroy the other. In ancient times, it was time to trouble us. ”

Chen Feng continued to roll his eyes, "Then let me ask you, will the gorillas in our zoo now smash walnuts with stones?" ”

Fatty: "Yes." ”

"Look, the gorillas have already mastered the tools. Suppose that from now on, humans evaporate out of thin air on the earth. Do you think it's possible for gorillas to evolve their own writing in a million years and become the next civilization on Earth millions of years later? ”

This question was a little complicated for Ou Junlang, and he thought for about ten seconds, "It's likely." ”

"That's right. We know that gorillas have a chance to replace us, so why should we let them exist? ”

Fatty: "Too weak to pose a substantial threat to us?" We're all in control? ”

"But one day the gorilla learns to keep the fire and grill the meat on wooden skewers to eat cooked food, and then invents his own writing to record which meat is good in hieroglyphs and how much it is cooked. They then carved in the stone to record the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and learned to use sticks and stones to plow the land and plant the seeds that had been saved the following year. What do we think? ”

Ou Fatzi said decisively: "I will panic to death, and quickly enter a difficult choice." ”

Chen Feng spread his hands, "That's right." ”

"Then why can't two civilizations coexist? We are stronger, and we should take care of the weak. In the future, if we have the opportunity, we can go out, and land, energy, or whatever, will not be a problem. We won't mind if gorillas invent words at that time. ”

Ryan couldn't take it anymore and patted him on the head, "Because there is inevitable racial segregation between humans and gorillas aesthetically and reproductively. If we do go out first, and the colony is sprinkled with Orion arms, then we can let the gorillas develop, but haven't we gone out yet? ”

The fat man finally understands now, everything must be divided into stages.

Ryan and Chen Feng no longer paid attention to these two goods, and only briefly chatted about the future.

Ryan tries to avoid exploring the principles, but he still can't help but wonder about the future of technology that he can't hope for in all aspects of human life.

Especially when he heard that Mercury had become an incomparably huge star fortress, Ryan sighed even more in amazement: "If Mercury is also conscious, he will definitely feel wronged." Our descendants are too greedy. ”

Chen Feng snorted, "Don't talk about others." Think for yourself, who is to blame for this? ”

Ryan pondered for a moment the microwave transmission and ultra-high-efficiency solar panels that he was preparing to develop, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "That's right, blame me." ”

The fat man really didn't understand, and walked away.

Ryan continued to say with great interest: "Listen to you, Dyson Cloud was built many years after my death, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Alas, I'm not reconciled. Is there a way to make our steps a little faster so that I can see that day in my lifetime? I want to die in space like you, too. ”

Chen Feng pondered for a moment before saying: "It is indeed my goal to continue to accelerate the process of civilization, and it is difficult to say whether what you said can be achieved." ”

Ryan suddenly became extremely serious, "Then we have to solve a big problem seriously." ”

Chen Feng knew what he was talking about.

The conflict between the two major ideologies in today's world must be resolved, and inequality and exploitation must be eliminated at a faster pace, and humanity must be twisted together at a faster pace.

Of course, this is also mentioned in the "Planning".

The way to achieve the unification of a community with a shared future in the Plan is to use his personal prestige to override everything and ultimately eliminate strong differences.

Chen Feng does not quite agree with this central idea.

He believes that if he really does this, what awaits him in the 31st century will no longer be a cocoon, but a cage.
