Chapter 373: A Stagnant Civilization
"Judging from this device, this is really a device that is going to destroy humanity. The prototype is a super letter conceived by scientists in 1950! Cobalt bomb! Wrap the neutron bomb with cobalt-59. Detonating a neutron bomb in the stratosphere, the force of the explosion causes the neutrons to penetrate cobalt-59 and become cobalt-60, which then decays to emit highly penetrating and continuously released gamma rays that can destroy all DNA. And in the stratosphere over the entire Earth! Minnie couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Master Ayed said, "You all know about the Mayan civilization. This civilization has been alone on the American continent for 3,500 years, but it has not advanced much, not only science has not been produced, not even the wheel has been invented, and it has been stuck in the Stone Age. According to archaeological inventions, one of their customs is human sacrifice, and even the largest human sacrifice reached 20,000 rao. Contentment doesn't work from the perspective of the population! ”
Chrissy had been on guard against him, but Master Ayed continued, "Including the Nihod civilization, in fact, if you look at these civilizations, you can find that in fact, civilization cannot develop forever. And it's easy to get stuck on some really weird things. Even many prehistoric subhuman civilizations were destroyed by their own causes. For example, they themselves destroy themselves and move on to the next stage of important resources. Unable to break through the limits and eventually self-destruct. In fact, isn't the earth a large Mayan civilization? Then, by killing a percentage of humans, for example, protecting the resources needed to break through the next threshold is the need for population continuity. ”
"How is that possible? We are already so developed! And it's going to keep improving. Minnie retorted.
And Master Ayed said, "Really? In fact, the science and technology of human civilization is not an infinite development, and it will become more developed over time. You're a scientist and probably know better than I do. And whether it is before or after digital humans, what human beings really consume the most resources is to develop science and technology? No. It's all kinds of eating, drinking, and having fun. In fact, after civilization reaches a certain height, if science and technology cannot break through, human beings will continue to advance on the road of self-destruction. Therefore, the attack of this obscene civilization led by me has a substantial means of attack. ”
Chrissy put the knife on Master Ayad's neck and said angrily, "What is the destruction of mankind for the development of mankind!" It's ridiculous! ”
And Master Ayad continued: "Actually, these methods include cobalt bombs, including three-phase nuclear hydrogen cobalt bombs. Dirty bombs and so on will not completely destroy humanity. It also saves the necessary resources. ”
Minnie also couldn't listen to it and rebuked: "I thought you were a wise man, and many of your thoughts have inspired us a lot, is your usual compassion pretended?" How can such a terrible thing happen now? ”
"It's not pretending, but I think maybe the real great mercy is the great destruction! In fact, if you imagine that human beings even the science fiction movies and Star Wars are still based on the knowledge of physics in the 1930s. The human imagination has dried up. Perhaps the loss of imagination is more fatal to humanity than the waste of natural resources! If black walnuts had not been discovered, would there have been breakthroughs in quantum technology today? If there is no Lin Dezhi's new Taoyuan plan. Can the Supreme Council now meet the ever-growing material needs of humanity? Master Ayed said with a straight face.
Minnie said: "Even if there are none, I believe there will be other new discoveries." ”
Master Ayed said, "It's hard. The cumulative quantity changes to the qualitative change, but it will definitely encounter the bottleneck of the energy level jump. That is, it is not 1 or 2 times more than the current one, or 10 times or 100 times. Instead, it needs to increase by a full 300,000 times to reach the next qualitative breakthrough! Why is there no shortage of life in the universe, but we have never found an extraterrestrial civilization? Because this bottleneck is big enough. ”
"But! But, we've found it! At least we were attacked by the knightly civilization, which proves that we are not alone! And the Nihod civilization. Chrissy said stubbornly.
"The Nihod civilization is a good example, that is, the technological civilization will also be like the Mayan civilization, for some reason stuck at a certain stage, and then self-extinguish and self-destruct! Science is not something that will inevitably make great progress in the next few years. It is necessary to go out step by step. I think that modern human civilization may be stuck in brainless dramas, constantly wasting resources to shoot more knowledgeless brainless dramas, imprisoning human thoughts and wisdom in place. Master Ayed said.
Chrissy gradually let go of his teachings: "Theoretical physics has basically not made new physical discoveries since the 1970s. Even the discoveries of the 1930s can be used to make some science fiction films, but the 1970s ones are difficult to be accepted by the public, let alone later. Even at that time, some large countries had more adequate means of dealing with zombies than they were to deal with the flu. Obsessing over false prosperity is indeed a mistake that humanity makes easily. ”
"No, no! I don't think so. I think people go to movies and TV shows for entertainment purposes, just because of fatigue, not because of the exhaustion of human imagination or the pursuit of brainlessness. Brainless dramas are just a product of too much pressure in life. If I'm tired of talking, I'm going to watch entertainment movies that don't require me to think about it, and relax myself. Minnie shook her head.
Master Ayed sat down against the wall as if he had more than enough physical strength, and said, "In fact, human beings, like other living beings, have the limitations of individuals and groups that cannot be broken through. So the people at that time gave me this non-human this task, whether it was a mission, or a mission. It is of course best to assist the Supreme Council and guide the progress of mankind. If the Supreme Council fails, then assist humanity. If not yet. Just start some old plans to reduce humanity. ”
Chrissy shook her head and said, "But after all humans have transformed into digital humans, the consumption of natural resources is actually very small. Why do you still want to reduce humanity? Shouldn't these dangerous things be destroyed? ”
"Because although human beings consume less, they also change. In the past, young people always had new ideas. Now there are no young people. Digital humans are hundreds of years old and have been addicted to all kinds of entertainment for hundreds of years, especially human beings who are different from them are aliens. How many times have you both been used as a symbol of evil by all of humanity? Master Ayed said.
Minnie hunched her shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter. These are all things. I think humans question anyone and everything, it's the vitality that humans maintain! ”
