Chapter 239: The Choice of Civilization (2-in-1 Chapter)

Airplanes!

The weak force field was activated, and through the thick radiation-proof glass, the interior of the decay engine suddenly bloomed with brilliant colorful light.

This is the color of the decay that blooms with rays, dreamlike, picturesque, and the temperature inside the engine detected by the system is rising wildly, reaching hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius in the blink of an eye.

It worked!

All of them breathed sluggishly, and they all understood that this fantastic colorful light was only a part of the energy emitted by the decay in it, and there were more X-rays and Y-rays in the invisible spectrum that were emitted.

In addition to this, there are various helium nuclei, electrons, etc.

Thundered!

There is a sudden roar from the supporting generator set with the modification of the controllable fusion engine, which is the sound of the energy released by the decay heating the steam, burning the boiler, and pushing the steam turbine generator set to turn.

Goo-dong.

Professor Huang swallowed hard and shouted, "Check the instrument, check the electromagnetic field, energy recovery module!" ”

"The instrument is working properly!"

"Constraining the electromagnetic field to be stable!"

"The helium nuclei emitted by α decay are transported to the controllable nuclear fusion engine through electromagnetic field confinement, and the delivery channel is stable and normal!"

"β the flow of high-energy electrons emitted by decay, the electromagnetic field is used to collect the impact magnetic fluid power generation unit has successfully produced electricity, and the module is operating normally!"

"γ gamma rays emitted by radiation, the photoelectric conversion module is used to successfully collect and produce electricity, and the module is operating normally!"

"The heat released by the decay is already burning the boiler."

The following researcher's report made Professor Huang's eyes widen.

It passed in one go, and it went unexpectedly smoothly.

Could it be that Lao Tzu is the hidden emperor of Europe?

The power of the decay engine in the test was not large, and it took more than ten minutes, and after many repeated cycles of decay, 200 grams of material were completely decayed and consumed.

In addition to the helium nuclei emitted by α decay, controlled nuclear fusion is required, and this part is not counted, and the energy released after the decay of 200 grams of material exceeds 1.5 million tons of TNT equivalent.

"How does it feel so simple, not a little thrilling, hard research, trial and error, and finally success."

Seeing a group of people wearing thick protective clothing, opening the radiation protection door and going in to check the situation of the test engine, Lin Qian muttered as if she was in a dream.

In fact, not only him, but also Professor Huang and other researchers who have participated in controlled nuclear fusion research feel like they are dreaming, and their steps are a little drifting.

It went so well.

It's hard to say anything smooth.

If it is said that controlled fusion has allowed human civilization to get rid of the mother planet of the earth and enter the era of space life, it has obtained a colonial ticket to other planetary systems without returning.

The material decay engine, which surpasses the mass-energy conversion rate of fusion by 10 times, can allow human beings to completely enter interstellar colonization, and colonization is no longer a ticket to no return.

However, such an important and epoch-making energy technology, an energy technology that can completely send mankind out of the solar system, can be done in three or two clicks.

It's incredible.

In addition to being amazed, they didn't realize that mastering the technology of controlled nuclear fusion and mastering the mystery of the decay of matter actually had the preconditions for building a perfect decay engine of matter.

After human beings have controlled nuclear fusion, a perfect magnetic confinement scheme, and Chen Nuo gives a complete data formula for the decay of matter, the engine of material decay has been lit up by human beings.

"Brother No, the experiment was successful!"

That night, Chen Nuo returned to Earth.

Just opened a bottle of chilled fat house happy water, took out a holographic mobile phone to open the starting point Chinese network to enjoy the leisure time of the night, Lin Qian, who came back from the research institute, ran to him with a happy face and shouted.

"What experiment succeeded?"

Chen Nuo looked at Lin Qian suspiciously, he didn't let Lin Qian do any experiments.

"Matter Decay Engine, Matter Decay Engine Experiment!"

Lin Qian's mood still hasn't completely calmed down

"Oh."

Chen Nuo suddenly realized that it was this thing, and he thought it was some kind of fuss.

Your brother just hit a sun today and set off a bunch of cosmic fireworks on the earth, which will be seen by humans in 1500 years.

I didn't even publicize such a thing, and a material decay engine is still making such a fuss.

"Brother No, aren't you surprised and happy?"

Lin Qian was a little confused by Chen Nuo, isn't this thing worth being surprised and excited about?

"Surprised, happy."

Chen Nuo nodded and said solemnly: "Energy is the core of all industries, and mastering the technology of material decay engine means that human civilization has taken a big step forward, which should indeed be happy." ”

"Nogo ......"

Lin Qian was speechless, and leaned in front of Chen Nuo and said word by word: "Do you know your perfunctory appearance, it's so fake!" ”

"Today's test of the decay engine of matter was successful, calculated based on the actual energy efficiency of the decay, combined with the power of the gravitational twisting device on the landing ship.

The calculations show that the material decay engine is not yet able to drive the curvature navigation engine, which is much, much worse than your super battleship, and you should not be able to look down on this technology.

But we all worked hard.

Every time I go home, my parents don't understand my research, and when they come to my sister, my sister can't understand either, because I don't have many friends because of my health since I was a child, and the only few friends I have can't understand my research.

Most people in society are also greedy for pleasure, receiving social security for free that is higher than the previous level of well-off, but they are being laid off and have no job.

In fact, I know what they're messing with, it's nothing more than unfulfilled desires and wanting more, and having fun when they're full of energy and have nowhere to vent.

The current productive forces of society can give more, but today they will ask for social security for the middle class, and tomorrow they will ask for social security for the middle class, and when the needs of the middle class are met, they will definitely be clamoring for the protection of the rich class the day after tomorrow.

Empty desires are endless, productive forces meet needs, spiritual pursuits do not meet standards, and the so-called social communism will never be realized.

In fact, sometimes it's quite confusing, artificial intelligence technology can replace the jobs of 95% of the population, we work so hard, for these people who have been replaced by artificial intelligence and are still entertained to death, is it worth it?

Is it because the development of civilization requires the reproduction of the population?

With the advancement of biotechnology, natural reproduction is no longer the only way, so it doesn't really make a difference whether there is a difference between them or not, because they have no value to society. ”

Lin Qian was telling in confusion.

"Xiaoqian, do you think it's worth it?"

Chen Nuo put down his mobile phone, glanced at Sister Lin who came back from work and opened the door, made a gesture of boosing, and then asked Lin Qian softly who was confused.

With the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid progress of civilization, not only are social systems in conflict, social structures need to be changed, and people's concepts are also in strong conflict.

When there is a conflict between old and new ideas, it is often when people are confused, and the slightest carelessness in the development of civilization will regress, and even self-doubt and self-extinction.

This was the case with reform and opening up back then, and so is the current explosion of science and technology, which is even stronger than the confusion of reform and opening up.

Without a firm step, even if science and technology reach the standard, civilization and society will not progress, or embark on a deformed development path, and eventually lead to destruction.

For example, since artificial intelligence has replaced ordinary people, ordinary people are no longer of value to society.

Then these ordinary people who have been replaced and eliminated can be completely erased, there is no need to exist, everyone uses biotechnology to improve life expectancy, inheritance and reproduction.

It will even evolve into the use of biotechnology to select the more gifted offspring, and those who are not talented or do not work hard will be completely discarded.

Don't deny that no one will do that.

The more developed civilization is, the more independent and rational the individual thinking will be, which is an inevitable trend.

When technology develops to the point where it can be multiplied and passed on through biotechnology, there is no need to reproduce naturally.

When technology develops to the point where artificial intelligence replaces 95 percent of people's jobs, ordinary people have lost their value to society.

There will definitely be people who will have such thoughts and even take action.

If civilization really goes down this path.

The society raises offspring, biotechnology replaces natural reproduction, artificial uterus replaces natural pregnancy, and even biotechnology screens offspring, and the poor are abandoned, and the talented are left......

There is no doubt that the emotions between people will be further weakened.

When the emotion is weak to a certain extent, civilization is already on the verge of extinction and may die at any time.

emotion, which can hinder the development and progress of the bound civilization.

For example, if the human high-level in the main world can be more rational now, they can abandon the ordinary people who have been eliminated by artificial intelligence in society and have no value to society.

Without these burdens, the speed of civilization development will certainly be increased by more than ten times.

From this perspective, emotions are indeed a real obstacle to the development of civilization.

That is, some science fiction descriptions, if human spiritual thinking does not metamorphose, emotions do not change, then human beings are destined to fail to pass the big filter.

Because emotions can really hinder the development and progress of technology.

However, people ignore that more often than not, emotion is a seal, a seal that imprisons the inner devil.

Everyone has demons in their hearts, evil thoughts, impulses, and desires for destruction and destruction.

When you are unhappy and depressed, everyone will smash pillows and things to vent, and even have the urge to go out with a knife to commit crimes.

However, every time at that time, when I think of friends and relatives, everyone will calm down and refrain from it.

It is not the deterrence of punishment that keeps them restrained, but the bond of emotion that calms them down.

According to big data statistics, the crime rate of groups with weak emotions, or lack of affection from parents and few friends since childhood, is significantly higher than the average by several times or even more than ten times.

It is an objective fact that if emotions are lacking and emotions are weak, the crime rate will increase.

The more advanced the civilization and the more advanced the science and technology, the stronger the knowledge of the citizens.

In ancient times, it was good for citizens to make bows and arrows.

In modern times, citizens would make guns and gunpowder.

In modern times, to tell the truth, let's not talk about the bow and crossbow, steelmaking, making bombs, bombs, incendiary bombs, and even atomic bombs, biological viruses, as long as the materials are provided, these students who are serious about studying in a related major in a university can get it out.

In the future interstellar era, what technology can citizens master?

Material Restrictions on Citizens' Furiousness?

This can't be restricted, it's the interstellar era, here is a control restriction, just find another planet to mine.

Then at this time, there is no emotional bondage, there is no emotion to imprison the devil in the heart, this will be a very terrifying thing.

Maybe someone is sitting at home, and suddenly someone is in a bad mood, he is not happy, he wants to vent his desire for destruction, use destruction to soothe his emotions, and then a star destroyer cannon aims at the planet where your home is located, and blasts out a cannonball of destruction.

Civilization is really going to embark on the so-called elite development model of abandoning ordinary people and taking the so-called elite development model, claiming that if civilization wants to progress, then the spiritual realm must be sublimated.

In fact, everyone is not far from death, and civilization is doomed to die.

The development of civilization has always been a burden of moving forward, overcoming difficulties and overcoming obstacles.

If there is a burden, then abandon the burden, if there is an obstacle, then abandon the obstacle, then abandon the ordinary people today, tomorrow the civilization will abandon you, and the acquired intelligent life will come out of the trouble and completely devour the entire civilization.

Now, Lin Qian and even other scientists in the main world have this kind of confusion in their hearts, and they are already standing at the fork in the road of this choice.

Whether it is to move forward with a firm pace and a burden, or to retreat and retreat in times of difficulty, or to abandon ordinary people in order to relieve their confusion and reduce their burden.

That is, to choose the so-called concept that if the spiritual thinking does not degenerate and the emotions do not change, civilization will not progress.

"Brother No, I don't know."

Faced with the question of whether Chen Nuo was worth it, Lin Qian was silent for a long time and shook her head in confusion.

"Then are you willing to be like those who have been abandoned by artificial intelligence, holding a subsistence allowance, immersing themselves in a life of drunken dreams and death, and entertainment to death?"

Chen Nuo asked the second question with a chuckle, and his tone was very gentle and heartwarming.

As a reform boss, Lin Qian encountered confusion and the choices Lin Qian encountered, he had already encountered and thought about and made choices.

Fortunately, he chose the right one, and then became a super excellent employee in the eyes of the boss, bringing the dawn of hope to the heavens and all worlds.

"I don't want to, I don't want that kind of self-worth, a life like a salted fish."

Faced with this second question, Lin Qian did not hesitate and quickly made an answer.

"Brother Nano asks you a third question."

Chen Nuo smiled, leaned on the sofa and looked at Lin Qian, and said with a serious expression: "Do you think you were happy to be with your parents when you were a child?"

Imagine whether it is happier to live and grow up with your parents, or is it happier to be taken care of by an artificial intelligence nanny and raised by the social state? ”

"Brother Nuo, my parents, you also call my parents, yesterday my mother called me and asked about you and my sister......"

Lin Qian glanced at Chen Nuo and suddenly corrected.

“......”

Chen Nuo said speechlessly: "Classmate Lin Qian, please answer the questions first, don't care about these details." ”

"I don't need to ask, I must have grown up happy with my parents.

In recent years, productivity has improved, the supervision of orphanages, and the life and education of orphans have improved a lot, but they are not very happy, and they have more or less psychological problems.

The accompaniment of parents, it is a matter of genetic determination.

Unless even genetically no longer human, mammals will have a need for parental care and love.

If this is missing, no matter how good the acquired education is, there will still be some psychological problems in the end. ”

Lin Qian is a very scholarly tyrant, and in the face of this problem, not only from the emotional and psychological aspects, but also from the analysis of genetic and physiological aspects.

Then you use this answer to think about the confusion you just had, and think about what problems the difference between natural reproduction and biotechnology reproduction will eventually bring.

Would you want your offspring to be taken care of by an AI nanny, raised by the public, and grown up without parents from an early age? ”

"This ......"

"The foundation of civilization is emotion, and without emotion as a fetter, then everyone is scattered, so what kind of civilization can we talk about.

You scientists are thinking too sensibly mathematical.

With the development of science and technology to this day, ordinary people have indeed no value for the development and progress of civilization, but they are the cornerstone of the existence of civilization, providing the emotional bonds of civilization, and only with them can there be civilization.

What civilization is a group of scientists? A group of scientists does not become a civilization.

If everyone thought like you scientists, and were so sensible, no one would have flown a spaceship to the stars.

Earth? What does this matter to me, the universe is so big, I want to go and see it.

Mankind? What the hell is that, don't get in the way of me seeking the truth of science.

This seems very romantic, but unless you completely consume your emotions and turn yourself into a program, otherwise the long interstellar journey, no matter how rational the scientist's thinking is, will sooner or later be tortured and crazy you.

There is no absolute black and white in the universe, and only when ordinary people exist can civilization exist and the value of scientists can be reflected. ”

Chen Nuo chuckled and said suddenly, "The Milky Way is quite big, do you two sisters want to see it with your own eyes?"

I believe that after reading the vastness of the Milky Way, it is estimated that you will understand that there is no point in thinking so much confusion, and everything can only be firmly forward. ”
