6. Departure

"I'll explain everything to you, but first, perhaps, I should call you - brother."

The old man said calmly, and in the darkness, no one noticed that the corners of his mouth were raised in a slight arc.

……

A few days later, Zhuge Yun boarded a shuttle plane to the "New African Institute of Astronomical Studies" in the Sahara.

A few years later, he graduated from a prestigious academy and is now a scholar – a scholar in "species linguistics".

If he hadn't chosen the discipline of "species linguistics" as his research direction, it is not known that this discipline would have become extinct.

There are only two people in the entire college, him and his mentor, who are studying this subject.

The process of super modern civilization has enabled people in this era to get rid of heavy labor, and most things are basically handled by intelligent computers.

Being able to survive in space is the progress of human social civilization, and the most demanded are manufacturing, artificial intelligence systems, ergonomics, and basic materials engineering...... These research directions are of greater value to the future of mankind's development into the universe.

"Species Linguistics" ...... It seems to have been studied only in the last century.

Most of the topics studied by the "New African Astronomical Research Center" are usually allocated by "above", and a small number are submitted by a research team led by a professor.

At this time, the ecosystem on Earth is far less comfortable than in Space City.

The closed ecological environment project, which has been experimented countless times on the earth, has made a breakthrough.

Originally, the idea was to create a completely closed ecosystem suitable for human survival.

Scientists put some kind of bacteria in glassware with a diameter of about 5 meters and start cultivating, using their own oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen to maintain the operation of the system, and use their interaction to create an ecological cycle.

Then some inorganic matter - mineral elements were added, and the elemental environment in the ocean was simulated, adding more organisms into it little by little, and considering the genetic composition of each added organism and the results of its interaction with the environment.

Unfortunately, no matter how perfect and sophisticated the design of each individual in this ecosystem, in the end, within a few months, all the creatures inside will die, without exception.

Later, the practice was changed – supercomputer systems were used to simulate this infinitely large and rich environment in the hope of reducing errors and correcting the time- and costly practices that had previously been consumed.

In the end, the system ran for 8 months, and the data obtained was extremely shocking.

They compared the data in the actual simulated environment and came to the conclusion that with the computing power of the current supercomputer, it is far from being able to control everything in it.

But the experimental data also proves the possibility that in this enclosed, space-like space-like space, each species' genes are forced by the environment to change to adapt to the current environment.

However, here's the problem – the way they change their genes, and the time for which they change, is too small and too little.

The whole ecosystem tends to be a kind of scorching melting pot of races, where each species adapts, blends with each other, and interacts with each other, but this environment is too simple, and the scarcity of genetic samples can only reach 0.3% of the ideal closed system......

Based on the final calculations, there is no possibility that any living thing can survive in this closed ecosystem.

This suggests that it's not that the supercomputer is problematic or doesn't have enough control, but that there is too little "space in the space" of the enclosed environment.

And it's gradually becoming apparent that if they want to get the desired state of genetic samples, their ability to control them is also stretched.

Judging from the analysis of some of the data given by the supercomputer, this gene sample bank needs to be expanded by at least 6 exponential multiples to maintain a delicate ecological balance and self-hematopoietic function, and the organisms in it can survive.

In short, the comprehensive data carrying and control capacity of this system can only be achieved if it reaches 6 million times that of the current system.

On the other hand, it is not that the gene pool is insufficient, but that the system that houses this gene pool is "too small", which is relative to the ecosystem of the entire planet.

Let's take an analogy.

This "little system" is like cutting the earth off 1/13 trillionth, and then compressing 300 years into 30 seconds - of course, the creatures in it will not survive these 30 seconds, and even in about 3 seconds, they will all die.

The cost of evolution is so terrible......

If the ecosystem is to be perfectly controlled so that organisms with complex genes and complex behaviors like humans can survive, then the computing power and control of supercomputers will need to be further strengthened.

The number of operations per second it requires, and the maintenance of a simple environment, is not capable of human survival. And once a small error occurs, the system must be restarted and recalculated......

The evolutionary road ahead of humanity is so long and helpless.

"Computing power" and "spatial samples" have become the bottlenecks of this complex ecosystem.

Unless there is an explosive scientific and technological progress, the development of such science and technology will take at least 120-150 years for the entire human civilization.

But just like that, a miracle happened!

The emergence of "intelligent brain" represents a breakthrough in the hard power of human science and technology, and the most cutting-edge achievements in ergonomics, new materials and artificial intelligence.

The "artificial intelligence" project, which uses the human brain as a model, has increased the computing power of the smart computer, the "smart brain", by at least 6 exponential multiples.

They also bring more complex and precise control to the vast complexity of the ecosystem, and the data control of tens of thousands of genetic samples and environmental simulations is finally conquered by the excellent computing power of the "smart brain".

And the price is only 7 years.

……

The next generation who have been cultivated by human space civilization often tends to adapt to life in space. Like the choices of most people in that era, Zhuge Yun needed to do as ordinary as everyone else.

Work is a simple thing for human beings on Earth at this stage.

The social resource system will assign some work to each person according to his characteristics, such as: he is good at figurative thinking and expressing emotions, so he studies art and creates ideas; If you are good at hands-on and inventive ability, you will go to industries related to manufacturing; If you are good at dealing with people, you will communicate with related fields and communication agencies......

In short, the various abilities that people need for production and life are classified and distributed in infinite detail by the system.

The most popular people are those compound talents, and their choice of fields will be broader than ordinary people.

The scholars of the "Space Research Center" rarely choose to stay on the ground, they either go to research institutions on the space city or work as on-board researchers on research ships. He naturally chose the latter, which made him feel a little fresh, and the time had come......

During their time at the Institute, the Supreme God organization did not move, and they remained dormant.

It even made the world think that they had disappeared for a time.

It was his last night on Earth, and the plan was finally in motion.

Zhuge Yun walked aimlessly down the street - until, he stumbled upon a nostalgic bar, and an inexplicable feeling made him push the door and walk in.
