This is of course important, extremely important. On the one hand, it means that the hemisphere civilization has completed the final puzzle, and as long as there is enough time to accumulate, it will be a sure thing to become a fifth-level civilization...... On the other hand, it means that human beings also have a full set of technology, because the vast majority of experiments in hemispheric civilizations are provided by Unreal Labs. Humans have mastered the way they modify their minds!

When Zhang Yuan was writing the whole report, he felt that his whole body would tremble from time to time.

He didn't know if he was excited or afraid, or both...... This kind of feeling is very complicated, yes, even if it is a copy of the path of hemispheric civilization, so what?

It would be great if humanity could find a good path on its own.

What if you can't find it? With Zhang Yuan's idea, copy, but also copy out a fifth-level civilization!

“…… According to this progress, hemispheric civilizations will produce exponential iterations of knowledge inheritance after all memory templates are renovated! Soon, all of their new recruits will be able to have a thousand or two thousand years of work experience. What a big advantage this is, and what it means, I'm sure you should be clear. ”

Even if the race value of hemispheric civilization is not high, the amount of working memory for one or two thousand years is too large. Instilling these memories into the minds of the next generation can completely bridge the intelligence gap.

The new type of memory template brings all-round improvement.

When Zhang Yuan submitted this report to the scientific council, everyone felt a deep shock and urgency.

It is really not easy for hemispheric civilization to take this step...... What about humans? What should I do?

Zhang Yuan continued to report on the stage: "...... The larger the amount of memory instilled, the higher the probability of giving birth to idiots, but with the new technology we provide, hemispheric civilizations can partially cancel out the probability of giving birth to idiots. Moreover, hemispheric civilization does not slow down its progress by giving birth to idiots, which we cannot do......"

And as time goes by, they can update the memory template again, so that the quality of all the new generations can take another leap forward. For example, on the basis of the memory of 2,000 years, add another 2,000 or 4,000 years of memory templates! If it's not enough, let's have another two thousand years, six thousand years of work experience memory template......"

"As long as there is enough time, this progress is endless, and there is no need to worry about sinking......"

"This is also one of the reasons why we believe that the fifth-level civilization is powerful, constantly evolving upwards and iteratively. Level 5 civilizations will progress at a higher speed, and this speed will not slow down, but will get faster and faster! ”

Those sitting in their seats were silent, thinking.

His allies have suddenly completed the puzzle of a fifth-level civilization and have the potential for infinite progress, and this day has come so quickly!

And the new human civilization has not yet chosen its own path...... The new human civilization has never known how to take this step, even if it already has the technical conditions.

When this fact was laid out, all the members of the Scientific Council thought in silence.

It's a kind of persecution, a kind of pressure.

People have hesitated for too long to choose a direction, and now hemispheric civilizations have emerged, forcing people to choose.

"Wait a minute......" Li Zhendong opened his mouth and asked, "What you said is true?" Will it really be the way it is? That's a bit of a serious problem. ”

Zhang Yuandao: "How can you be joking? It's just that they've only completed the update of one memory template so far, and there are at least 365 more memory templates to complete in the future...... They may even create more memory templates to get rid of the problem of diversity of thought patterns. ”

A deputy captain suddenly asked, "Professor Zhang, how long will it take for the hemisphere civilization to surpass us?" ”

Everyone raised their heads, and this is a very real problem.

Zhang Yuan sighed: "Simple estimate, if we do our best to help them iterate and memorize the template, we will be able to complete all the iterations of the template in about 100-130 years." From the original little out of step with the times, fully evolved into a new template, and then they will have a earth-shaking qualitative change. ”

"After five or six hundred years, no more than a thousand years, as this technology becomes more and more mature, a large number of geniuses with genetic memory knowledge are born, and these days will narrow most of the technological gap between our two sides, except for the virtual world. After that, the scientific and technological strength of the two sides may be reversed, of course, this is just a simple estimate, and it is difficult to say how it will be......"

"So, a thousand years!"

Zhang Yuan stretched out a finger, "The slowest and the slowest, after a thousand years, the other party will surpass us." The fastest is only 500 years. ”

"This is just the first qualitative change."

"As for the second qualitative change...... After the other party completes this plan and surpasses us, it will not stop because of this, and will still iterate its own knowledge until a scientific and technological singularity, that is, it can be completely siliconized, complete the combination of man and machine, and realize the acceleration of thinking. ”

"When the time comes, we will gradually have the speed of light thinking like a strong artificial intelligence, and then there will be another technological explosion that will leave us far behind. This is the second qualitative change, and only after completing the acceleration of thinking can we become a real fifth-level civilization, a state that is difficult for us to understand. ”

The conference room fell silent again, emotionally speaking, the new human civilization wants to be the leader of the alliance all the time, and does not want a reversal of power.

But rationally speaking, is it because the other party may surpass human beings, do you deliberately jam the other party?

This kind of thinking is too narrow-minded.

If you card the other party's technology, it can indeed be extended for a long time...... But what's the point? Just to stop the other party's progress?

Another scientist asked, "What are they pursuing?" How is the philosophy of genes modified? With the current mechanisms of gene philosophy, is light-speed thinking possible? ”

The main reason for changing the philosophy of genes and the way of thinking is to adapt to the speed of light.

Zhang Yuandao: "They have created a whole set of idealized sage criteria, so the whole set of models will be modified in that direction. With the speed of light in their minds, the code of conduct will be like a memory template, filled with what they consider to be absolute justice...... At that time, they will lack some emotion and have more rationality. ”

"But you can rest assured that revenge is definitely an act that they spurn. Therefore, the hemispheric civilization is strong, and theoretically it will not cause us any harm. ”

"This set of thinking can be accelerated, and there is no problem in realizing light-speed thinking."

The thinking of the whole people as saints sounds a bit secondary, but it is indeed a good approach. The premise is to define clearly what is a so-called saint, what is so-called good, what is so-called bad, and what is absolute justice.

The Captain's Lady asked, "Sage mode?" Can we learn from this path? ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned, this issue is placed in the human group, and it will only produce endless quarrels, because everyone's opinion is different. But hemispheric civilization has reached a consensus in the history of the past.

"Yes, yes...... But no matter what worldview you have, only a few people can agree with it. We can prepare this option in earnest. ”

Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and said, "All in all, I seriously oppose the use of technical means to update the memory template of the other party. That's right, they do need our help now...... We can't become a fifth-level civilization, and we can't find the road ahead, because we don't have the ability to do it ourselves, so there is no need to get stuck with others. ”

"The so-called Thucydides trap, I am seriously opposed to stepping into......"

Everyone was silent, and Zhang Yuan saw that several ministers all lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

The "Thucydides Trap" is a term used in the civilization of the earth to refer to a newly rising power that is bound to challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers are bound to respond to this threat, so that war becomes inevitable.

War is not only limited to the military, but also includes science and technology, trade, finance, etc., at the beginning of the 21st century, the science and technology trade war between China and the United States is a typical representative of the Thucydides trap.

Now the new human civilization is facing a similar dilemma.

Zhang Yuan continued: "Anyway, according to my point of view, in the next thousand years, if we still can't take this step under the stimulation of hemispheric civilization, it is estimated that there will be little hope, and honestly hugging the thighs, or copying the other party's model is the king...... The so-called threesome, there must be my teacher. If we can't, we can only learn from others. ”

What Zhang Yuan said was very polite, but it was exactly the case. There are civilizations in the world that are more powerful than humans, so what is it to be stuck with their allies?

The model of hemispheric civilization, human beings do have the scientific and technological strength to copy it, but the whole society is completely unable to do it at present, let alone allow the birth of a huge number of idiots, then there is no way.

If you can't do it, you can only blame yourself!

Li Zhendong nodded, supporting Zhang Yuan's point of view: "Indeed, as Professor Zhang said, if the hemisphere civilization succeeds, we humans will also have a full set of corresponding technologies, and may even have them earlier." When the time comes, we will be fully prepared in terms of science and technology, and we will only be faced with the philosophical problem of how to revise our thinking and what the big goal of civilization is. ”

"So I also oppose the use of technical means to jam the other party's progress."

Ichiro Yamamoto stood up and said slowly: "Or, if you really can't do it, you can split a sub-civilization to complete this." ”

This thought stunned everyone again. There are many people who oppose it, and what kind of whimsy is it to split into a sub-civilization...... For now, it's even harder to do.

This meeting did not come out of anything effective, but only let everyone know that this fact is being produced.

Unreal Lab will still help hemispheric civilizations update their memory templates so that they won't get stuck on each other's technology.

In just half a day, the news that the hemispheric civilization has completed the last piece of the puzzle has slowly spread within the new human civilization.

The reports are all cautious and don't reveal much.

But the fewer words, the bigger the matter, and the tension and shock of the people naturally need not be said.

"Outside the name, scientists unanimously believe that the hemispheric civilization has turned the potential of the fifth-level civilization into a fact!"

"If you give them enough time, you can cross this threshold!"

"What are you talking about?!"

"It's really fake!"

In fact, everyone has such a thing as superiority, and it is even a source of happiness, but everyone's superiority level is different. Human beings will have a sense of superiority when facing a weak race, and they will also have a sense of superiority in the face of hemispheric civilizations that always hug their thighs, but they will not show it in ordinary life.

But now that I heard that the hemispheric civilization has begun to change qualitatively, there are naturally some different voices at the folk level, such as stopping cooperation and preventing the other party's progress.

This type of voice has received more criticism from society.

"Some people's dark psychology is always not good for others, hehe. Losers always think like this. ”

"Oh, the Thucydides Trap is starting to exert its strength, a typical sign of the civilization of the Sunken!"

"Weakly ask, what is the Thucydides Trap?"

"A civilization that loses its self-confidence and self-esteem will eventually become a loser...... Shouldn't we speed up our own progress in order to avoid such a reversal of power? Although these voices are a little more radical, there is still some truth to them......

There are also gags, joking voices: "It's time for a more radical policy...... In the next thousand years, hurry up the combination of man and machine, the potential of human beings is limited, I don't want to be a man! ”

This group of stupid netizens still doesn't understand the heaviness faced by the entire civilization, nor do they know the hardships and hardships paid by the hemispheres.

The troubles that people face do not necessarily change over time......

This kind of change needs an opportunity, or most people are wavering and can only rely on the determination of a few

……

In this way, in the midst of a loud noise, the next destination of the alliance was about to arrive. The fleet has been sailing at high speed in the void for more than forty years, and it is time to pause and do a major maintenance.

On the way to the edge of the Milky Way, humanity has investigated the three yellow dwarfs along the way, and nothing interesting or new has been found.

In fact, when the star map was first planned, the alliance fleet's planning was basically yellow dwarfs. Because the yellow dwarf star is the most suitable star for the development of life, the probability of encountering novel events is greater, and the whole thing has to be stopped and maintained anyway, so it is better to find some intelligent species to communicate.

It's just that the route planned by this star map is completely unknown, and the probability of hitting the sky is very high, and now this is the fourth yellow dwarf.

A new journey is in front of people's eyes......
