Zhang Yuan is quite busy these days, and the Unreal Lab has been looking for the next direction that can break through, magnetic field perception and personal intelligence brain system, through the large-scale popularization of these years, it has basically been perfected, and has achieved very good results.

But these scientists will not stop because of this, and people have been thinking: what is the next direction that can break through?

After a lengthy discussion for certification, the team of experts identified several possible breakthroughs.

The first is neutrino sensing, neutrinos are ubiquitous in the universe, and they are extremely penetrating, and right-handed neutrinos can also transmit information to a certain extent. The roles in which neutrinos are able to participate are mainly weak interactions, which are very different from conventional electromagnetic interactions.

Essentially, human perception is almost entirely dependent on electromagnetic interactions, whether it is sound or imagery. So scientists came up with a big idea, if a certain perception relies on "weak interactions", what is the universe like in that perception?

However, with the current state of technology, it is almost impossible to integrate this perception into the human brain.

Because the neutrino receiver of humanity, at least the size of a house, there is no way to shrink! No matter how hard Zhang Yuan and others tried, it was impossible to shrink the neutrino receiver into a single chip. In this way, there is nothing left to do. Unless there is a huge breakthrough in basic science, this direction will be tried again.

The second direction is dimension-aware. The time and space in which human beings live are themselves distorted, and from the current human cognition, the essence of gravity is the distortion of time and space, and now people can indeed perceive gravity, but if the gravitational force felt is quantified as a distortion of time and space, then a huge qualitative change has occurred in human cognition!

In other words, this route attempts to "touch" the gravitational pull of the four major forces.

Unfortunately, this is too difficult.

Zhang Yuan once felt the true meaning from the universe, but he didn't know how to reproduce it, which was two different orders of magnitude from the difficulty of magnetic field perception......

As for the third direction, the strong interaction of one of the four fundamental forces, this route is even more illusory, and there is no such possibility for the time being.

Then there is only the fourth direction left, continue to break through artificial intelligence, on the one hand, it can continue to improve productivity and reduce human workload, and on the other hand, it has great reference significance for future human brain transformation.

This direction has been quite successful, and with the database of robots bought from the Dyson sphere, it is steadily developing. However, there is a deep gap between the ultimate goal of "strong artificial intelligence". If we fail to cross this gap, there will be no qualitative change.

"Well, all the work is difficult." Zhang Yuan scratched his head, a little distressed, and for a while, the cutting-edge technology of human beings was a little stuck.

But soon, he left his troubles behind him, which is the norm of a civilization. It's rare to want to make a big breakthrough in a few decades.

"There's basically no drama on the Unreal Lab side, is there any good progress on your side?" Zhang Yuan took a sip of coffee and asked casually.

After work, it's fun to have a drink in the café and chat with old friends.

"Don't think you're doing all the work yourself." Li Zhendong said with a smile: "I heard that the new education method has repeatedly reported "good news", which has paralyzed many young people. When are we going to go in and get an education? ”

This paralysis is really "paralyzed", according to various survey reports, after the students went back, they all lost their souls, and their mentality changed a lot.

In the general direction, the results of this new way of education are quite good, but it also inevitably brings some negative effects. There are some psychological endurance that is not strong enough, and even produces various psychological problems......

"The good outweighs the disadvantage!" Zhang Yuan smiled: "We can't stop this project just because a few people have problems." ”

Naturally, various voices in society are arguing about this.

Some people think that some restrictive scenes should be blocked, such as brains, intestines, bone marrow, etc., and it is better to shield them a little bit, and play some mosaics, so as to scare the children.

High school students are really just kids...... Very passionate, but not very knowledgeable children.

But some people feel that since these scenes have really existed in history, why should they be blocked? If it is blocked, there is no doubt that the educational value will be greatly reduced.

An Unreal Lab researcher complained, "I'm definitely against stopping this kind of education, it's complicated to design various scenes, these virtual worlds have to be used repeatedly, not real worlds made of life...... Sometimes, the world of reuse is even more difficult than the real world! ”

This kind of virtual world-related things have to be handled by them, and it has taken many years of hard work. All NPCs use the latest pseudo-human algorithms and look similar to humans.

The students are currently experiencing parts of the history of Western and Eastern Europe, followed by the more brutal modern history of East Asia, and the world wars that killed and injured tens of millions of people!

Until I graduate from college, I don't have to receive this kind of virtual world education......

When Zhang Yuan was young, he hated the modern history of East Asia very much, thinking that it was too heavy, and everything was terrible to read. I still don't like it, no one likes the era when the weak were ravaged, but I was able to calm down and study it carefully.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Accept it or not, the history of mankind is a true history of suffering. Without effort and sacrifice, there will be no progress.

……

"Drip-"

Just when everyone was chatting happily, the sound of emergency communication suddenly came from his ears, and Zhang Yuan's heart moved, it was the captain's office who sent a meeting notice.

He hurriedly got up and said to his colleagues around him, "There is a notice, go first." ”

Since the underground living quarters of the entire planet have not yet been excavated, everyone is in the temporary work area, so the distance is not too far, and it takes ten minutes to reach the captain's room by rail train.

When taking the train, Zhang Yuan thought of a more troublesome question: if there is a real underground living area around the world in the future, and everyone's work places are thousands of kilometers apart, what should we do when an emergency meeting is held?

Even if the current means of transportation are fast, the distance of thousands of kilometers will take a long time.

"Or simply turn to remote holographic conferencing? Or use virtual world technology to have a meeting? It's possible. ”

When he walked into the captain's room, he found that the atmosphere inside was very silent, as if something terrible had happened, and several military experts stood at the front with serious expressions, without saying a word.

Zhang Yuan chuckled in his heart and asked Li Zhendong, who walked in together: "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know."

These soldiers are basically not responsible for meetings on internal affairs, and the appearance of these guys shows that there is a high probability that it is not an internal problem of civilization, but an external problem!

The beating speed of his heart was accelerating, Zhang Yuan sat down with a frown, and thought about some questions: the new human civilization stayed in the void of the universe, and the basic defense measures were still quite good, without emitting conspicuous light, and there was no excessive heat radiation. Theoretically difficult to discover by other civilizations.

The nearest star is 0.2 light-years away, and the number of photons is extremely rare, not to mention that there is no cosmic string nearby, and the probability of encountering aliens is too low......

Soon, the relevant information was distributed.

Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

The South Pole Space Telescope, the largest on the planet, stumbled upon something amazing: just a few hours ago, an innate body about 2.3 times the mass of the Earth flew past 0.19 light-years away from the Battlestar Hope.
