Just like before, Qiao Lu had the system communicate the details to the rest of the coalition government at the cost of 500 civilization points, so that he didn't have to take on such a heavy responsibility alone.

Upon learning of the incident, the coalition government immediately summoned everyone to discuss the countermeasures to the incident.

To Qiao Lu's surprise, this incident turned out to be related to the Flower of the Soul Project, which is part of the Awakening Earth Project.

Luo Feng presided over the meeting and said: "Everyone, as you know, the Soul Flower Project is progressing smoothly, and we are one step closer to successfully awakening the earth. ”

"And what happened when you summoned us here?" American Representative Derek asked.

"Let's ask Dr. Grace to explain this first."

Dr. Grace's holographic projection appeared in the center of the room, and she was too busy to get out of it, so she had to participate in the meeting in this way.

"I'm sorry, fellow directors, I'm still in the Soul Flower cultivation lab, there are too many things to deal with here, please forgive me for attending the meeting in this way."

"No, I'm sorry for you." Luo Feng nodded.

After a brief greeting, Grace began to explain the point of the meeting.

"The first thing I would like to explain to you is the mechanism of action of the Soul Flower, which, as we initially discussed, will serve as the nerve center of the Earth in the future, and will be the key to the awakening of the Earth Project. However, it also has another important role, which is to change the ecology of the earth and make it more suitable for human habitation. ”

"When the flower of the mind blooms, a large amount of pollen, or nanoparticles, will be emitted into the atmosphere, in this way to change the ecological climate of the earth. Since the Flower of the Soul is cultivated by us, we can now control this transformation to a certain extent, which is the subject of discussion. ”

It turns out that this is the case, Qiao Lu finally understands why the system gives three choices that have such a huge impact, which is directly related to the final result of the Flower of the Soul Project.

The three modification schemes proposed by Dr. Grace also correspond to the three racial characteristics that Qiao Lu saw, and Qiao Lu happened to be named after the mind over things, synthetic evolution, and genetic remodeling, which was also unanimously recognized by others.

"It's still like this." Russian representative Vasily said with admiration.

Dr. Grace responded, "I'm sorry, but we also found out in the course of research. ”

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing." "It's just that we have to make a choice, how to transform the ecology of the planet, and we humans ourselves. ”

The effect of the Flower of the Soul is indeed a rare opportunity, and it is time to get a certain reward for investing so much manpower and material resources.

"So let's rule out synthetic evolution first." Derek was the first to say:

"There was a type of choice that we had discussed, and it seemed to be a plan left behind by the Cybertron civilization - internal drive assimilation, right? Since we rejected internal drive assimilation in the first place, there is no need to choose synthetic evolution today. ”

There was indeed such a meeting, and because of Qiao Lu's opposition, the Wandering Earth did not hold a referendum, and the resolution of [Internal Drive Assimilation] was vetoed.

Qiao Lu immediately objected: "That's different, internal drive assimilation will make all people on the earth, whether they agree or not, will gradually transform into cyborg lifeforms. But synthetic evolution is up to us to make a choice, and it provides prosthetic adaptability, whether or not to fit a prosthetic limb or whether to do it depends on the individual's will. ”

This is the biggest difference between the two, after all, [Internal Drive Assimilation] is a plan left by the Cybertron civilization, and of course it will not take into account the thoughts of human beings.

[Synthetic evolution] only enhances the adaptability of human beings to prosthetics, and whether or not to accept prosthetic modification or not depends on the individual's decision.

The French representative, Bevin, immediately reacted and said: "In this way, isn't it the same that the heart is better than the object?" But not everyone is willing to awaken their potential. ”

This makes some sense, if an ordinary person is the first to awaken his powerful potential, I am afraid he will not be able to return to his daily life.

Perhaps most people will gravitate towards this, but there are also people who really just want to live their lives in peace, and awakening potential is not a gift to them.

"On the other hand, on the wandering earth, although the number of psionics is still very small, and most of them are in the army, but the people who hate psionics can't say that there are none, they are jealous or good-looking, fearful, if the group of psionics is further expanded, it is hard to imagine what kind of turmoil it will cause."

This is a very realistic thing, and looking at the mutants in the X-Men, it is not impossible to cause the human race to split.

"And what about the last genetic remodeling?" George, the representative of the United Kingdom, asked, "Not everyone can accept genetic modification, but there will be no objection to prolonging life." ”

Genetic remodeling is indeed the easiest decision to win the hearts and minds of the people, and who doesn't want to live another 60 years, especially now that the medical technology of the Wandering Earth is so advanced, they can basically live a good life.

The problem is that the current genetic modification technology of the Wandering Earth is relatively weak compared to prosthetics and psionic energy.

For example, Qiao Lu himself can feel that the vibranium symbiote prosthetics and psionic talents on his body are very powerful, but genetic modification mainly provides sensory enhancement, and after he can also use psionic energy to perceive, only the reaction speed is commendable.

"One more thing worth noting." Dr. Grace cautions, "While the synthetic evolution protocol provides prosthetic adaptation, it also includes neural implants. For example, the simultaneous interpretation headphones that you are using are now devices that use neural interfaces. If we design it as a neural implant, it can be translated in the brain without going through a headset, which can break through the limitation of having to translate into the native language, and the accuracy of the message will be much improved. ”

The simultaneous interpretation device is one of the most important inventions on the Wandering Earth, and the reason why all mankind can unite to complete the Wandering Earth Project is largely because of the breakthrough of language communication barriers.

Even everyone in the internal meetings of the coalition government still has to wear simultaneous interpretation headphones, and even though they speak different languages, everyone hears in their native language.

Dr. Grace's proposal is a more direct solution, not to let the simultaneous interpretation device translate the understood information into the native language to everyone's ears, but to implant the language understanding program into everyone's nerves, and the communication efficiency is of course twice the result with half the effort.

"Isn't it even possible to break through the limitations of language and use neural implants to communicate?" Qiao Lu was keenly enough to capture this, this is not ordinary.

Dr. Grace nodded and said, "If we can further improve the performance of neural implants, it will be as easy as sending a message with a mobile phone." ”

In Liu Cixin's "Rural Teacher", it was mentioned that the information transmission rate of human communication through language is only about 1 to 10 bits per second, that is, 1-10 B/s

Now that mobile phones are using 5G, the information transmission rate should be calculated in MB, how many tens of thousands of times, Qiao Lu is too lazy to calculate.

Perhaps he misunderstood at the beginning, the greatest value of [synthetic evolution] has never been in any mechanical prosthetics, and the neural implants that can improve people's brain thinking and communication ability by more than one grade are the greatest impact of synthetic evolution on human civilization.

Perhaps it will become a new medium for the transmission of knowledge, as the advanced civilization in "The Village Teacher" says, human beings no longer have to rely on language to transmit information, so as to move towards a more advanced civilization!
