Yu Yifeng was worried for a long time, but there was no better way but to let Xu Yunjin handle this matter by himself.

There is indeed something wrong with the profession of soldier......

They have been too comfortable for more than 100 years. The social order is stable, the resources are unprecedentedly developed, and what about the contradictions? No......

Now the entire civilization has a population of 800,000 and about 10,000 soldiers, accounting for 1.25% of the total population, which is still relatively high. Including scouts, pilots, mechanics, communications soldiers, etc., there are about 20 kinds of classifications.

With so many soldiers, there must be warriors and those who are not afraid of sacrifice, there is no doubt about this. But after so many years of comfortable environment, the entire army lacked a trace of murderous spirit.

If the military is not able to rise to the top at the critical moment, then there must be some problems in the development of the new human race......

"Let's train, let's practice, it's good to correct it early!"

Yu Yifeng shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter, but focusing his attention on this meeting.

Scientists were still discussing fiercely, and few people noticed that Xu Yunjin and other military commissioners sitting in front had left.

In their mouths, what artificial intelligence, giant creatures, and what "creatures that can be invisible in visible waves", "non-carbonyl organisms", "electromagnetic wave creatures"...... All sorts of whimsical ideas have come to mind.

"If there really is a self-aware 'artificial intelligence' or some kind of strange life, will it have great implications for science? Answer...... Yes, for sure! I think there is a need to investigate further on this planet...... Find out this artificial intelligence! ”

A computer expert said feverishly.

Strong artificial intelligence, so far, humans still can't figure it out, and they don't even have a clue.

"If there is a strong AI template...... It's too big, too big for us to be inspired by science! The scientist said excitedly. He seemed to have forgotten that the local war that had just taken place had also neglected the dangers of investigating the planet up close.

"That's not right!"

It was only then that another scientist came forward, and it was Dr. Rimbaud.

He exclaimed, "Listen to me, I think there is another possibility!" It's not artificial intelligence, it's a ...... Gaia creatures made up of microorganisms! ”

Yu Yifeng was stunned: "Gaia creatures? ”

He nodded, "Oh...... Sorry, that's a term I just coined. In layman's terms, it is a collective consciousness made up of microorganisms! ”

"We might as well be a little more open-minded. We immediately discovered strange algae in the ocean, their structures are quite complex, their biological activity is intense, and they have some animal characteristics for unknown reasons! ”

"From the information that is available, these planktonic algae can produce a weak electromagnetic signal as well as biological signals, do they communicate through these signals?

"If the world's algae are connected in series, will they form a complex neural network system?"

Rimbaud said as he walked over to the screen and pulled out a microscopic image of the algae organism. His bold conjecture triggered people's thinking......

Yu Yifeng also held his chin and pondered, if you want to generate wisdom and self-awareness, can you really only rely on a brain full of nerve cells?

So far, it seems so......

Humans have brains, indigenous lizards have brains, Knicks people have brains, and even the original species of "black" have brains!

The structure of these brains is quite similar.

But this evidence is not sufficient, and human beings do not know the cause of intelligence or how self-consciousness arises......

During the Earth period, there was a term called "swarm thinking". This term is used to describe a colony of bees in a beehive, as if it were a self-conscious whole.

The magic of "swarm thinking" is that no bee can control it, but there is an invisible hand, a hand that emerges from a large number of obtuse members, that controls the whole group......

Similarly, if planktonic algae can create synchronized signals to communicate with each other like neurons, then each cubic meter or cubic decimeter of seawater can be used as a unit of consciousness.

The huge ocean is like a mind, and the algae unit is the nerve cell in it.

Such a collective-conscious creature is what Dr. Rimbaud calls ......

"Gaia Creature"!

Gaia, a conjecture that has existed since ancient times. Around 400 B.C., Plato made the idea that the earth is a huge living organism.

As a result, people fantasize that the consciousness that the planet has is called Gaia consciousness!

"So, Gaia consciousness is sometimes called planetary will. But I don't think what we're encountering can replace the will of the entire planet...... Because the land doesn't seem to be in its reach, it can only control the sea at best. ”

"Its capabilities are limited......"

And according to this theory, if there really is a Gaia creature, then there is a saying for the huge green eyes.

That's ......

Biological telescopes!

These Gaia creatures are not omnipotent, and although they are large and spread throughout the ocean, they also need certain unique structures to perceive the outside world.

Scattered cells cannot "see" or "hear" the outside world.

There must be a structure that resembles a human eye, that is, ...... The structure of a "giant telescope" made up of countless microbial cells can see outer space thousands of kilometers away!

So...... It has become the "huge eye" that people see!

And then it was blown up by a nuclear bomb......

Hearing this explanation, the people in the venue fell silent for a while.

"Microbial telescopes...... As a result, it does look like it's all seawater. ”

The appearance of this "Gaia creature" seems to be beyond the scope of human biology.

Its physical composition is scattered, and it seems that as long as the "swarm mind" on Earth goes further and forms greater intelligence, it becomes a Gaia creature......

But this one goes a step further and is a little unimaginable.

If it really exists, human beings have a ...... of its nature Almost nothing!

Another scientist pressed the speak button and said without worry: "What if...... The special algae in the sea really give rise to self-awareness and wisdom...... What level of intelligence can such a large number of units, assembled and connected by some computational method, support? ”

"A mind the size of an ocean, with trillions of cells, or more? Is there millions, tens of millions? ”

"Humans are less than 200 IQ, so they can't understand this creature, right?"

Hearing this conjecture, everyone shuddered.

With millions of IQs, is it possible to go from elementary math to calculus in one day?

In another day, you will be able to figure out the theory of relativity?

This is the human ...... Enemies to face?

But soon, another biologist jumped up and excitedly retorted to this idea: "Impossible! Dr. Del, this idea of yours is absolutely not valid! ”

"Doesn't it take time for communication signals to be transmitted? It's like the neuronal transmission speed in our heads, which is only one or two hundred meters per second, and it is the result of billions of years of optimization! ”

"It's a joke to want to connect the entire huge ocean, is it the speed of light that transmits information?! If this Gaia creature really exists, its intelligence must have an upper limit, it may be very high, indeed higher than us, but it will definitely not be at the level of millions! ”

The scientist known as Del immediately asked: "Isn't the tiny amount of electromagnetic waves they emit the speed of light?" ”

The biologist shook his head and said, "The bioelectricity on our neurons is still the speed of light...... Don't these signals need to be received and digested by cells? It's bound to take time! ”

"Unless...... The individual cells that make up Gaia's creatures don't need to communicate with each other, but without communication, it is impossible to generate collective intelligence! ”

In the current situation of this lack of evidence, one agrees with the biologist.

Gaia creatures, although they are huge, their IQ is definitely not infinitely high!

At least...... It's not technologically advanced now...... r Pen Fun Library .
