There are many topics that can be talked about along the way, whether it is Zhang Yuan's own experience this time, or the strange story that happened between the headquarters and the Green Leaf Alliance, all of them are quite interesting discussion points.

"Green Leaf Alliance...... Haha, they don't just like to serve food, they also like to go crazy on the back. ”

"Slap on the back?"

"It's that kind of naked sycophancy, which makes people goosebumps...... "Lao Yang said in a plant tone: "Ah, respected new human civilization, your people really have a huge appetite, a great advantage, just like the big fat dolphin on the planet Conta." ”

"Big fat dolphins may resemble our pigs, and eating more is an advantage for them."

After chatting like this, the spaceship returned to the base camp of the Shanhai.

After arriving on the ground, Zhang Yuan found that in the more than ten years since he left, there had been a series of changes in the entire alliance.

"First of all, the number of superhumans has increased dramatically again, and it has now reached a full 200,000!"

200,000 people is not much, after all, the entire civilization has a population of one billion, but coupled with the 500-fold acceleration of thinking, the research power of superhuman beings has completely penetrated into all aspects of civilization, and the research output has greatly surpassed that of traditional humans.

Some new infrastructure has begun to be built on the planet to adapt to the digital information age of Level 5 civilizations, such as the core computer group that stores self-consciousness, the brainwave Internet, and high-end robots that can be remotely and freely controlled by quantum consciousness, all of which are under vigorous construction.

All of these functions can only be used by superhumans, and even though traditional humans can use them, they are quite reluctant and difficult to use flexibly.

"After completing these projects, the capabilities of the new humans are comparable to strong artificial intelligence! Of course, the rate of thinking is still rising. A diplomat was enthusiastically presenting the new project.

In fact, if the thinking speed of new humans can reach hundreds of thousands of times that of traditional humans, plus the means of remote control of robots, what is the difference between strong artificial intelligence?

At the same time, the production capacity of transforming traditional humans into new humans is also constantly climbing, and it has now reached 25,000 people per year, and the number of applicants is very enthusiastic, and it seems that the ordinary people have fully accepted this thing.

Seeing that everything is changing for the better, Zhang Yuan is sincerely happy.

Lao Yang took over the conversation: "With the deepening of the transformation, several social discussions have broken out in the entire civilization, and the power of the conservatives has become more and more declining, and they have basically lost the right to speak. ”

"The production capacity of superhumans needs to be strengthened, 25,000 per year, which is still not enough......"

Zhang Yuan was silent, in fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called "good" and "bad" are also defined by human beings themselves, and there is no strict standard. What you think is good may be bad in the eyes of others.

A small number of people still believe that the greatest purpose of human existence is for themselves, and if they die, what will happen to the universe?

Mental transformation is obviously a process that kills my past self, so they are reluctant to make changes.

This kind of logic, the cognition of death, is naturally possessed by human beings since the birth of life, and it is difficult to refute it with traditional logic and morality.

However, Zhang Yuan believes that this judgment may be too arbitrary, and there may be some controversy at the current level.

Because the idea is similar to the Copernican principle, the geocentric theory was proposed because it was found that all the planets revolve around the earth, and the result is obviously not correct. This principle is to judge the unknown according to what is known.

The same is true for the definition of death.

The idea that the greatest purpose of life is for oneself is a kind of empiricism that does not involve a broader perspective.

For example, in the Gaia School's "meta-electron theory", the "you" and "I" in the universe are actually drawn by the same proton motion, and there is no essential difference. The observer's holographic universe theory holds that the universe without intelligent life is nothing, and that the universe will only materialize from an illusory wave function with the participation of the observer. The "death" that the observer perceives is an abstract, mathematical cognition, and what humans perceive is not the same thing at all!

So, different perspectives, different ideas and thinking.

The universe never cares about what's good or what's bad.

It's just that in the eyes of some people, these changes in thinking may be "bad", but they are not able to stop them.

……

In the sixth hour after returning to the planet, the human high-level on the planet Shanhai quickly held a grand press conference because of Zhang Yuan's return.

The on-site meeting coupled with the webcast was naturally a lot of excitement. A billion people are waiting with great interest to find out how their kind are doing.

Zhang Yuan didn't need to rest, he directly reported to everyone and briefly reported the situation of this trip.

He extracted some important clips and presented them to all the audience in the form of videos or pictures.

In particular, those pangolins of the Gliese civilization were also listening, but when they heard that their own kind were still in the same predicament, they couldn't help but show a sad expression.

The reaction was actually similar to that of the diplomats, some were surprised, some sighed, and some reporters were frantically taking pictures and asking questions, which was a big news.

"Do you have any questions?" After reporting the basic situation, Zhang Yuan asked.

A young lady of a reporter stood up and spoke: "Do you think that the Pan-Human Galactic Alliance can become a fifth-level civilization?" ”

"It's hard to say...... Maybe, maybe not. The social atmosphere on their side is slightly worse than ours, and there is some room for improvement. ”

"This step is not so easy, not only the technical difficulties, but also the choice of your own direction of progress. We were able to do it because of the massive experimental data provided by hemispheric civilizations, coupled with long-term exploration and hard work, and sufficient group IQ. ”

"We've done the best we can, and it's really hard to help anymore. The future is their own business, and it can't be all done by us, right? That's the giant baby behavior. ”

Another reporter hurriedly raised his hand: "Will we contact us again in the future?" ”

"I don't know...... They still have a small amount of amoeba points over there, so if there's really something urgent, maybe they can still contact them. ”

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, even if he wants to go back, it will be a long, long time later, and now people have more important things to do, and they will not lose big because of small things.

"About the Cosmic Factions...... Which one will we join? Or neither? Will we ever be able to see these more powerful civilizations in the future? ”

"That's ...... I don't know either, it's still up for discussion. ”

"Do we still need to leave the galaxy? Heading to the edge of the galaxy? Or look for the intersection of cosmic strings and black holes? What do you think about the fact that scientists believe that at such junctions, some strange physical phenomena may occur? ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I don't know these questions, and we will have another press conference after this, so please don't be impatient." ”

Soon, the people were enthusiastically discussing the future of the other party, or the perfect way to deal with the events on Earth, etc., this topic gave the keyboard warriors enough room to play. Putting this aspect aside for the time being, after the press conference, Zhang Yuan participated in an internal meeting non-stop.

This meeting is not just for the new humans, but also for the Hemispheres and the Gliese Pangolins, as it determines the future of the entire league.

"Hello friends of the Galactic Progressivist Alliance."

Captain Feng asked with a little seriousness, "I believe you have completely gone through the relevant materials of this journey, and the most important information is undoubtedly about the different cosmic factions, the Observer, the Noah faction, the Gaia faction, the Engineer, the Shuttle, the amoeba, and so on. With so many cosmic factions, do you have any opinions? ”

"It's a whole new world. We must carefully consider the risks, obligations and responsibilities of joining these factions...... One of the biggest benefits is undoubtedly the sharing of knowledge of some high-level civilizations, and the acquisition of access to faster-than-light communication systems. ”

This question is even more important to human beings.

Which cosmic faction to join? Gaia? Engineer?

There was a buzz of discussion in the room.

A head of the industrial department raised his hand and said, "Everyone, I don't think that after joining these cosmic factions, knowledge is completely shared, and there will be rewards for what you pay. I think for the time being we should develop ourselves first and then think about it. ”

"We must first independently complete the basic projects related to most of the fifth-level civilizations, and at least increase the speed of thinking to more than 100,000 times."

"We're still too weak now...... To put it bluntly, there are no bargaining chips for negotiation, we don't even have a hyperspace theory, what are we negotiating? ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, this is also the opinion of the vast majority of people.
