Chapter 834: Recent Situation of Earth Civilization (2-in-1)

Zhang Yuan saw the busy machinery on the surface of the planet, as well as the spaceships coming and going.

Through the electronic eye, it can be seen that some weapons appear to be turned on, aiming at him as if they are not there.

This kind of thing is actually quite normal, and if it were a new human civilization, it would make a similar choice in the face of a strange alien.

But in order to ensure his own safety, Zhang Yuan still used the controller digital virus to quietly infect a large number of electronic devices. If the other party really attacks, it will be no problem to paralyze most of the battle stars. His current body is only a fourth-level civilization robot, and its performance is far inferior to that of a silver-white robot, but the digital virus can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction strike, and it is an attack method that is difficult for low-level civilizations to guard against.

Of course, if the other party is just on guard and does not have much malice, then the two sides will naturally be fine. Zhang Yuan is also not interested in deliberately showing off to deter the other party, after all, his main task is still diplomatic investigation, and if he can be peaceful, he should be as peaceful as possible.

The volume of this battle star is slightly larger than that of the Shanhai, and many projects are still in a state of vigorous construction.

The workers are in a decent state of mind.

An alliance in a state of development, even if there are some internal contradictions, can be covered up. Contradictions are also the driving force of progress in one respect, provided that society as a whole has enough courage to correct these contradictions.

During the walk, Pei Ming, the chairman of the Human Alliance, turned to Zhang Yuan and gave a general introduction to the current situation: "We currently have a population of 3.6 billion and are an alliance composed of three branches of human beings. If you count your human branch, plus the Mother Earth civilization, there are actually five different political forces in humanity. ”

"3.6 billion, a lot of people!"

"Where's your situation?" Pei Ming was tentative.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "Actually, our branch of Kunlun Mountain has been split into two at the back, and a fleet called Bright Galaxy has been extinct. In that disaster, about 60 million people were lost. At the moment, our alliance has three battle stars, and the population is about a billion people. ”

"Extinct?" The people around them gasped, wondering what story had happened in the middle.

And when he heard the three battle stars, his ears pricked up again.

Zhang Yuan said: "The reason for the extinction is because of the virtual world technology, they did not make good use of it, so they became extinct. ”

"Yes, virtual world technology is indeed dangerous." Pei Ming nodded and said seriously, "Then ......what are the future plans of the Kunlun Mountain Branch?"

Zhang Yuandao: "We don't plan to join the human alliance, because the distance between the two sides is really a little far, and the most important thing is that we have formed our own alliance, which is composed of many different alien civilizations and has a way forward...... If there is a chance to meet in real life in the future, we can really have a real exchange. ”

In fact, 3,000 light years is not too far away for the current new humans, and if they really want to come, they will still come. The main reason is that the new human race has found its own way forward, and after seeing the invitations of so many great factions, Zhang Yuan has expanded his horizons to the more distant starry sky.

"An alien alliance?"

Everyone present was actually very curious about Zhang Yuan's current state, but they didn't know how to ask...... The questions they want to ask are too many. What about their own alliance, multiple different alien civilizations?

Moreover, they also suspected that the other party had entered the state of a fifth-level civilization.

Any topic about a fifth-level civilization is mysterious, and they can only rely on random guesses. They haven't even reached the fourth-level civilization, let alone the fifth-level civilization, this matter is really too far away......

Several representatives of scientists who followed behind also wanted to speak and stopped, pondered for a long time, but did not speak. After all, the other party is a newcomer, and he can't ask the other party's biggest secret directly, which will seem a little ill-intentioned.

There are also some people who have crooked ideas in their hearts, and they can only hold it in their hearts, the fifth-level civilization sounds really a bit scary, but some people are still a little skeptical in their hearts, and they will not completely believe it.

In the end, Zhang Yuan observed their writhing expressions, and he said with a little amusement: "You may be very curious about my current state, first of all, explain that this is the robot mode after uploading consciousness through faster-than-light communication...... It is an information outpost near the cosmic string, and the body automatically arranged for me by the amoeba civilization's trading market, not my own choice. ”

“…… Has it really become a fifth-level civilization? ”

"Indeed, we have completed the initial transformation of our thinking and are taking the first step towards a fifth-level civilization."

"Si ......" Zhang Yuan heard it, and there was an unconscious gasp.

Level 5 civilization, it's too far away......

When this fact was really in front of them, all the humans present stood in a daze.

Even the real leadership behind the scenes was stunned, a little skeptical, and a little believing. No matter how much they analyzed, it was unlikely that Zhang Yuan had a motive to lie...... Is it impossible to come here alone to defraud!

Immediately afterwards, there was a small number of people in their hearts in ecstasy, if there was a fifth-level civilization as the backstage of the entire alliance, what interstellar pirates and interstellar careerists were all bullshit, and a single leg hair could crush these ill-intentioned guys to death!

Even the fight against the Alev civilization is not impossible.

However, how did the Kunlun Mountain branch suddenly become a fifth-level civilization?

Pei Ming suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and cautiously knocked on the side: "This must be a very long story......

Zhang Yuan continued: "It's just a pity that the transmission cost of faster-than-light communication is very high. When I teleported my self-awareness, I discarded most of my knowledge database, so I can't help you much. I have come here primarily to investigate the people of the same origin and to learn about your history. ”

"We also have some transmission space redundancy, and your consortium can choose from a few key technologies after that, such as curvature technology, life extension technology, subatomic materials, or artificial intelligence, which should be a small help that we can do."

"Really?! Curvature technology? Under the excitement, the old professor inadvertently blurted out, and the surprise in his heart turned into ecstasy.

His face quickly flushed.

Curvature technology, they can actually get it for free?!

Yes, a real fifth-level civilization, even a small bit of knowledge leaking through their fingers is enough for them to use!

Although the whole look was quickly concealed, the brilliance in everyone's eyes was difficult to hide.

They really know the value.

Zhang Yuan didn't sell it, and replied directly: "Of course it's true, after this inspection is over, we need to go to the information outpost, and we can remotely transmit this data." ”

"In the past, there may have been a curvature NPT, but now that the amoeba faction is about to launch the galaxy, there will be no risk of default."

After a while, the crowd arrived in a conference room, which could be regarded as the most high-end meeting room on the entire planet.

The atmosphere has become lively, and seeing that Zhang Yuan is easier to speak, everyone began to be less cautious than before.

"About your alliance...... What is the state like? ”

Zhang Yuandao: "The Galactic Progressivist Alliance, in which the main civilization is human beings, has the dominance of politics, economy, science and technology; There is also a large part, a species called hemispheric civilization, which should also be regarded as a fifth-level civilization, the two sides compete with each other, and can point out the loopholes in the other's thinking transformation. We also have a subordinate civilization, the Gliese Pangolin, in addition to two less intelligent hive intelligences, plus some intelligent plants......"

"That's what the basic components are."

Zhang Yuan briefly introduced the current alliance composition, especially when he heard the magical story of the hemisphere civilization, everyone was stunned, there was such a crazy civilization in the galaxy!

Mankind...... Can't do it.

"Can you elaborate on your current state and what exactly you are like?" After a few minutes, several scientists who rushed to hear the news raised their eyebrows and asked cautiously.

Zhang Yuanlai replied unrefusingly: "I am currently in a state of two hundred times faster thinking. Actually, I'm only talking to you at the speed of a normal person's thinking, and the other 199 times more thinking is being used in writing...... I have written a book about the journey of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, and I estimate that it will be completed in a few minutes. ”

"Together with the artwork you've created over the past few years, I'll give it to you as a small gift."

This magical state amazed everyone in the conference room again.

Everyone's personal terminal received the data sent by Zhang Yuan, led by a book, called "The Great Fleet of Deep Space", which flipped a few pages casually, and there were various exquisite illustrations in the middle.

Soon, some staff began to analyze these literary works, and culture is difficult to fake, which can prove Zhang Yuan's human identity to a certain extent and reduce people's suspicions.

"You...... How many hours did it take you to write this two-million-word book? ”

"Five hours, to be specific."

In five hours, it's good that they can read one-fifth of it, but they have already finished one.

"It only takes a few hours for you to complete a regular research project?!"

"As it stands, that's pretty much it. Of course, if it is a real-world experiment, it still takes time. ”

"Don't need a break? Don't have to eat? ”

"Usually the situation is not needed, and the happiness level of most things can be adjusted on its own. Its core goal is still to discover and explore new things......"

"I see, ......I see," muttered several older experts, unsure of what they were thinking.

There was so much stimulation today that everyone was a little numb.

They also have research topics similar to thinking acceleration, but they are still in the ethereal stage...... This kind of thing is really far away, a bit too much.

The conference room was a little cold for a while, and even though there were many questions to ask, it was a bit overwhelming. These experts are cheeky, and this situation is like asking for advice on how to calculate 100+100 in front of a university professor, which is a bit shameful.

Seeing everyone's trance-like expressions, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Human beings still have to rely on themselves in the end, we have gradually abandoned the identity of human beings and started the process of revising our own thinking. ”

"We don't know what we will change ourselves into in the future, which may be disgusting to humans today. So at this moment, when you are barely human, I will give you a little help as much as I can. ”

"In the future, we won't necessarily be doing that."

Taking advantage of this time of chatting, several leaders behind the scenes rushed over and greeted Zhang Yuan one after another.

They had already quickly skimmed through the electronic messages sent by Zhang Yuan. It is about the journey of the Kunlun Mountain fleet, plus all kinds of miscellaneous music. When they saw this scene, they were relieved, the robot in front of them did have intelligence similar to that of humans, not like an alien civilization with ulterior motives in disguise.

In this case, these behind-the-scenes leaders also couldn't hold their breath, because they had more power, the content of the chat was also more esoteric, and began to ask about some content in the direction of civilization, some possible traps. Even a few words are very valuable.

Next, Zhang Yuan visited the museum, various industrial sites of the alliance, and learned about its specific history.

In fact, compared to the experience of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, the history of this human alliance is much simpler, that is, under the continuous development of various branches, it has almost tapped its own potential.

In order to avoid a major stagnation of technology, everyone worked hard to unite together. Coupled with the technology that the Kunlun Mountain fleet has fed back several times, under these premises, these human branches have maintained a fairly good vitality.

In this museum, Zhang Yuan also saw the recent situation of the earth's civilization: the earth's civilization has not changed much, indeed, there are too many people in the solar system, and it is too difficult to change.

Just the number of people hibernation has reached 100 billion, and people have escaped the fact by hibernating, so they have long fallen into a vicious circle.

The government of the earth's civilization once wanted to use the law to prohibit hibernation, and even planned to isomorphize technical means to abandon this part of the hibernation population, because maintaining hundreds of billions of hibernation devices has become a huge historical burden. People have to expend a huge amount of productivity to keep the hibernation chamber running, and if it is not maintained, the hibernating people inside will die.

As a result, because of these laws, a very serious humanitarian crisis broke out in the solar system, which can be regarded as an interstellar war!

That civil war destroyed billions of hibernation silos and meant the death of billions of people, which was a humanitarian catastrophe!

After the end of the civil strife, this period of history was later called "black history". It is clearly documented in the museum.

However, even with the emergence of "black history", the problem of a large number of hibernation populations has not been solved, and the earth's civilization is still in a quagmire and is in a state of inextricability......

"I see...... It's been so long, is it still like this? When witnessing these histories, Zhang Yuan sighed.

"This is the historical ...... of a hundred years ago"

Pei Ming, chairman of the alliance, said: "As for the current situation of the earth's civilization, we don't know very well. You know, there are no cosmic strings near the solar system, and even the fastest spaceship in our alliance can take hundreds of years to make a round trip. ”

"The earth's civilization, which is still in the capitalist era, does not have much money to send messages through super-large pulse devices. On the contrary, our side sends some information from time to time, anyway, it is just a waste of productivity, and it is nothing...... However, we didn't get many responses. ”

"All in all, in just a hundred years, there shouldn't be much change."

In the Human Alliance, some experts even privately believe that if the interstellar war had been more serious and all the hundreds of billions of hibernating people had been eliminated, they would have been able to throw away the burden of history, and the earthlings would have been able to live a better life now.

But this kind of thinking is against humanitarianism, so it is only a private thought, it is impossible to say, and no one can bear the charge of slaughtering hundreds of billions of people. Whoever proposes this method will have countless scoldings on the Internet, and the future political career will be all over.

Another senior leader sighed: "So, this problem may never be solved for the earth's civilization...... This hibernation opening shouldn't have been opened in the first place. ”

"One wrong step, one wrong step, it's hard to make up for it."

Zhang Yuan nodded, whether it was this human alliance or the Galactic Progressivist Alliance, it was strictly forbidden to hibernate at will to escape the facts.

And what about using virtual world technology?

If the hibernation population is uploaded to the virtual world in large quantities, this problem may be solved. The original branch of the Bright Galaxy put itself into the computer. As long as the virtual world technology is strong enough, it is actually no problem to install as many people as possible.
