Chapter 498: The Bubble of False Progress

Zhang Yuan chattered about his scientific experience, regardless of whether the other party was listening or not. Since the other party does not want to communicate, it can only provoke the other party.

According to his strategy, if a scientist sees a fallacy and doesn't correct it, is he still a real scientist?!

In the face of Zhang Yuan's five-day nonsense, one of the large baby fish finally couldn't bear it anymore, there was still such a nonsense guy in the interstellar trading market!

It discussed it with its commander for a while, and after receiving permission, jumped out with a little anger: "I'm sorry! Your statement is wrong, and it can even be said that it is very wrong! The real perception of the magnetic field is like this, it is like 'Kan of Valagan', it is a feeling of 'Ann series quilted'......"

"I don't know if you mean a certain wavelength of the spectrum, but magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves are completely different substances, and you shouldn't look at them simply!"

Now that the other party finally spoke, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he talked to him unhurriedly.

He didn't know what the hell the so-called "Kan of Valagan" and "An series of quilts" were, perhaps this was something that was difficult to describe in the human Xia Chinese language.

Just as the English word "party" not only means "party, party", its real meaning also means "party, team", in fact, it is difficult to express it in Chinese. In Chinese, there is only one vague meaning.

This is especially true of the language of the Gaian civilization, and it is inaccurate to rely on human translators alone to master the Gaian language.

This large baby fish is indeed very serious, and every time he says a word, he has to think about it for a long, long time, thinking about whether it will expose the core of this civilization. Their terminology is also extremely weird, and Zhang Yuan can only guess blindly with his own experience.

But as he spoke, he talked about optical perception, which is the key research topic of the Toth civilization. The Tothian found that Zhang Yuan was not the kind of person who didn't learn and didn't know anything, and he wanted to know all these contents, so his original anger dissipated slightly.

"I really want to know the real light, the ability to perceive electromagnetic waves is much more important than magnetic fields."

Zhang Yuan said: "The real light should be like this...... You first need to understand color, and the concept of color refers to the feeling of color that is perceived visually. In our human civilization, there are also some blind people, so we know that there is no way to perceive the light, what it is like, here is a book of my civilization celebrities, I can give it to you. ”

It's a book called "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", with some deletions and corrections, so as not to expose too much information about human beings.

"Thank you very much for the gift. But we still don't know what the color means, and your description is not very useful to us. ”

It's still the same tone that is not salty or light.

Because this civilization will not be grateful to you, it does not like to communicate, and it is not pretty, and its status in the trading market is indeed not high, and it does not have too many friends.

On the contrary, the new human civilization here, because the human diplomats are generally more tactful, has formed friendships with more interstellar civilizations.

However, Zhang Yuan knew that the friendship between civilizations was only superficial, and it really involved interests, and this kind of friendship was not of much use.

So it's good that the other party is in such a state.

Zhang Yuan asked again: "Can you tell me how many civilizations that have done relevant experiments in the past have developed their own magnetic field perception?" ”

This matter is not a big secret, after a long time, the other party replied: "Not a single one." ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be silent, explaining that the difficulty of this matter was higher than imagined. Pushing the boundaries of your own brain, indeed...... It's hard, it's hard.

"Please ask your name, maybe we can have an academic exchange meeting in the future......"

"My name is Calvi, and I have to ask our diplomats for the academic exchange meeting......" The large baby fish very unceremoniously refused.

Immediately afterward, another diplomat from the city civilization explained: "I'm sorry, scientists of the new human civilization. We've had this kind of technical exchange with other civilizations in the past, but nothing has come of it. So we don't think it's too necessary. ”

"We didn't expect much from it."

"More and more civilizations just want to obtain data on magnetic field perception, and then sell them to each other, making an illusion that their own civilization has made efforts and progress, and that's it, and there are very few civilizations that can really calm down and study."

"Nothing has been achieved again and again, and the edges and corners of almost all interstellar civilizations have been smoothed."

In the end, he said with a little emotion: "Young new human civilization, fortunately, the entire trading market is about to dissolve...... It's a misfortune and a blessing. Let's hope we can learn something from each other in this last time. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't understand this sentence very well.

However, the other party obviously didn't want to say too much.

He stepped out of the room and returned to his office, pondering what the other had said, before finally sighing softly.

Slackness is the norm of life, but also the norm of civilization, and once progress stops, laziness will be natural. This state of affairs is not only unique to human beings, but also to other civilizations, and theoretically the same.

In other words, the subtext of the other party is that the vast majority of interstellar civilizations here are civilizations that have almost stopped progressing, although everyone is still very busy discussing research meetings, renting experimental equipment, and communicating with each other......

This is most likely a beautiful bubble that is boasted about for the sake of self-paralysis!

Yes, I put in the effort and I gained some data...... Civilization is always progressing, right? yes, that way, I'm at ease. But in reality?

It is likely that the effort is useless, and all the effort is useless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan talked with a diplomat in the surrounding area for a while.

He smiled bitterly and said, "However, Mr. Zhang Yuan, this bubble of false progress cannot be punctured, at least not easily. Those who know that they are making false progress are only a small number of civilized people, and the whole truth is not known to the people. Even if you don't pay for it, it's better than being lazy to pay. ”

"What happens once the bubble is punctured and the truth about the Great Stagnation is known to the public?"

Zhang Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Think about it, once there is no change in hundreds or thousands of years, then where is the meaning of the people's struggle and efforts? It's like the human beings in the cherry blossom world, who have long stopped struggling, and what they already have is enough to meet everyone's needs.

Once the bubble is punctured, they will immediately wake up, and it is difficult to predict what will happen then. This is also the reason why it is better to pay for useless work than not to pay.

This is a huge barrier in front of the third-level civilization or even the fourth-level civilization.

Only by becoming a fifth-level civilization and completely revising the driving force of its own existence can this crisis of laziness be avoided.

Zhang Yuan silently pondered some of the words left by the Tothians......

It is even possible that the Torth civilization has entered such a crisis, but is powerless to struggle out.

It's sad.
