preface
The long river of history flows endlessly, and the end point of the long river is the ocean of knowledge.
Knowledge is constantly accumulating, growing, and flourishing in the process of human civilization. Hundreds of years later, the ocean of knowledge has submerged all of humanity, and humanity has since entered the era of pseudo-anomalies.
In the era of pseudo-anomalies, the most basic problem of human lifespan has been solved. Biologists have successfully extracted a series of genes from long-lived organisms that extend the life of cells and implanted them into chromosome-like DNA, and after two centuries of reproduction, the lifespan of humans has increased from 100 years to 500 years.
This breakthrough has accelerated the speed of human knowledge accumulation by several times. After all, as the life expectancy of human beings increases, scientists' research will not be interrupted prematurely by death, and the process of scientific research will be accelerated.
The fear of disease has also been drowned in the long river of history. Thanks to the breakthrough in stem cell culture technology, people have been able to cultivate organs and tissues that match each person's genes. If people's organs and tissues are damaged, they can be replaced. This technology also protects humans from disease.
Of course, scientists have also thought of using this technology to infinitely replace organs and tissues for people, so that human beings will not age and thus achieve immortality. However, after experiments, it was found that after the human lifespan reaches the limit, the cells of the human body will die quickly, and the most important thing is that the time that each mind can maintain cannot exceed the limit of the human lifespan. Therefore, with the technology of the pseudo-ability era, it is impossible to immortalize people.
Labor has also become a thing of the past in people's lives. In this era, human beings only need to continue to accumulate knowledge and explore knowledge in order to survive. Scientists simulated the thinking mode of human beings through supercomputer programming, and implanted it into the programming of robots, creating pseudo-humans, so that pseudo-humans can replace humans for labor and production. Completely liberated man from labor.
Of course, pseudo-humans cannot think in place of humans. Although they have a huge knowledge base, they are only able to execute the information in the knowledge reserve perfectly. The biggest difference between them and humans is that the human mind is active, while the pseudo-human simulated mind is inactive.
If the problem of mental activity can be overcome, then the essential difference between pseudo-humans and humans will disappear.
Human beings have been liberated from manual labor, but mental labor has become the basis of every human being's existence. Therefore, in this era of pseudo-abilities, all human beings have begun to accumulate knowledge and change themselves, and almost everyone has a fairly large amount of knowledge.
Humans use the knowledge they have to transform themselves into abilities similar to those of the supernatural powers. Of course, this is not the power of human beings themselves, but the ability to manifest themselves through mechanical equipment. For example, the implantation of magnetic devices to control metals, the implantation of power generation devices to control electricity, the implantation of ignition devices to control fire, and so on.
Because this ability is different from the innate superpower that humans fantasize about, but it can be manifested through these tiny devices implanted in the human body, people name this ability pseudo-ability. This era is also known as the Age of Pseudo-Abilities.
In human civilization in the era of pseudo-anomalies, a reserve of knowledge determines his status and rights. The more knowledge a person has and can use, the stronger his pseudo-abilities become.
Knowledge reserves such as magnetism, hydraulics, fire, electricity, etc. are already the lowest level of control and application. Because this knowledge was too simple in the era of pseudo-abilities, and the way it was used was very simple.
These most basic pseudo-abilities are the lowest level of humans, and their status is only a little higher than that of pseudo-humans.
Virtual currency points are the trading currency of this era, and people can earn currency points by performing tasks and selling knowledge.
The difference between humans and other living beings, pseudo-humans, is the active value of thinking.
Often, pseudohumans are mindless and therefore merely tools. Animals' mental activity value is very low and basically negligible, so they cannot live like humans, and only have the most basic survival instincts.
The active value of human thinking is higher than that of animals, which has also become the essential difference between a person and pseudo-humans and animals. At the same time, the active value of thinking is also a determining factor in the amount of knowledge that a person can grasp and the depth of knowledge that he can explore.
Of course, the active value of thinking is reflected in a person's ability to think of feasible knowledge. It is not a vacuum, an unrealistic reverie. This kind of reverie is called pseudo-activity, and the pseudo-activity value of each person's thinking is higher than the value of their thinking activity.
In this era, people's exploration is not limited to the planet Earth. Instead, they began to explore other planets in the universe, which can be described as very slow. Humans began to set foot in space hundreds of years ago, but mankind has not made critical progress for hundreds of years, and its exploration has always been limited to a few planets around the Earth.
The reason for this is that human beings are constrained by the rules of the universe and cannot grasp and apply their essence. At the same time, basic science is simply not enough to sustain humanity in that step. In addition, in the process of exploration, human beings have repeatedly fallen into the misunderstanding of knowledge, which has slowed down the process of exploration.
However, with the advent of the era of pseudo-abilities, human beings can basically devote themselves to the exploration of knowledge. Basic science is also sufficient to support further exploration and research.
Therefore, in the era of pseudo-anomalies, the study of cosmic space has basically become the mainstream of people's exploration.
At this time, the origin of the universe became the focus of attention. According to the views and theories put forward by the predecessors, there are roughly three types that most people agree with.
The first is the Big Bang theory, which holds that the initial universe is a singularity containing elementary particles, time, and space, and that singularities explode to form galaxies.
The second is wormhole eruption: it is believed that there are countless parallel universes, and in an ordinary universe, there is a black hole with increasing energy, and finally the black hole breaks through the shell, forming a wormhole, opening the door of time and space, from which high-energy particles erupt and evolve into the current universe.
The third is the rebound theory, which holds that the universe existed before the Big Bang, but it has been shrinking, and then for some reason it "rebounds" and turns into a state of expansion, evolving into the world as we know it now
Of course, there are many other hypotheses, but none of the above three have been proven.
There is no end to the pace of exploration, and even if all human beings on Earth have entered the era of pseudo-abilities, they are far from reaching the end of knowledge.
In this era, many great scientists have been born, and they are also extremely powerful pseudo-anomalous beings. They stood at the pinnacle of power and status in this era.
