"The degree of human understanding of the material world depends on the degree of understanding of the structure of matter."

"The degree to which human beings transform the material world also depends on their understanding of the structure of matter.

Soldiers on horseback in the Middle Ages advanced at the same speed as the steel torrent during World War II; The paper tubes used in the Song Dynasty were coated with fireworks, and their production concept was not much different from that of modern black powder bombs.

Yes, even if we cannot continue to understand the structure of matter, human science and technology can still make progress.

It's like the ancients could build giant ocean-going sailing ships, bird guns and cannons, and even mechanical difference machines for simple Fourier transform operations.

However, if they did not know what molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons were, they would never have been able to step into the era of pure electrification, to build atomic bombs, to build rockets and satellites.

Tomoko's existence is equivalent to setting up a wall in front of us, behind which we can develop all kinds of technologies and continue to sing and dance, but we can never completely overcome the technical barriers.

This wall is not directed at us, but at all races in the galaxy. Even the Zetarians are no further than we are in the exploration of matter particles - they have the same walls in front of them. ”

Leon smiled and said with great sarcasm: "God is selfish, and for the sake of their own safety and power, they have set up barriers in front of all beings with great malice, and no mortal race can cross through them.

Only in this way can the strong position of the gods be consolidated for thousands of years, so that they have a large enough technological advantage to strangle all challengers. ”

In an interstellar level war, any slight technological advantage will be infinitely magnified. Even a single level of analysis of the microscopic realm of matter is enough to yield a huge advantage – just as the United States, which completed the Manhattan Project during World War II, was able to crush other countries that did not yet possess atomic bombs.

While the particle physicists were still in shock, the envoys of various countries with a keen sense of smell reacted quickly - these political creatures sensed the cruelty behind the technical barrier almost instantaneously.

"Mr. Leon, those .....," the envoy from France hesitated for a moment, and uttered with some difficulty the word that seemed taboo in Christian countries..... God, is it really to guard against the so-called quantum intelligent machine? ”

"Maybe."

Li Ang smiled: "Compared to the mortal race, the quantum intelligent machine does have a huge advantage, and it is worth paying all costs to prevent it.

Speaking of which, we would like to thank our Mr. Tony Stark, the genius inventor of the Heavens, along with several other scholars, for creating a quantum machine called 'Ultron' and catching Tomoko's attention.

At this moment, there are already dozens or hundreds of civilized races, driving starships, flying towards the solar system where Orion is armed, and it is bound to erase all traces of human existence. ”

All eyes turned to Tony Stark, the once-revered playboy who bowed his head in pain, not daring to meet the cold gaze of his kind.

"Mr. Leon, maybe we can try to negotiate with the alien race?"

An envoy hesitated and said, "Compromise, mediation, concession, even if it's an alien race, it won't be so brainless, right?" ”

"It's a beautiful idea."

Leon pouted and said, "In the dark forest of the universe, blind trust in other civilizations is extremely stupid, and for the sake of the continuation of the race, we need to speculate on others with the most malicious thoughts.

Just imagine, if one day, the orangutan population on the earth suddenly has a slightly inferior intelligence to humans, then what will human civilization do?

Will they be extremely benevolent in teaching them and endowed them with advanced technology and ideas, so that humans and orangutans can embark on a journey into the sea of stars together, or will they not hesitate to completely strangle this infant 'civilization'? ”

The envoys of various countries looked at each other, almost without thinking, and directly gave a neat and consistent answer: "We will not hesitate to eliminate it." ”

The real world is not the stupid Hollywood movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the stupid movie of the Virgin White Left that advocates "species symbiosis" and "species equality", which can only deceive ordinary people and make them continue to be kind, but it can't fool these elites.

Please, human existence on the planet is hard enough, population, food, energy, disease, religion... These deep-seated problems have brought humanity to the brink of collapse, and there is no leisure to support orangutans.

What if an orangutan, having acquired technology, in turn poses a threat to humans? What if these orangutans start a war with humans? Do you use those white left virgins to go up and block the guns? Bai Zuo's characteristics are "dead friends, not dead poor people", "generous to others", sacrificing the interests of others, Bai Zuo is in the line, the knife to his own head Bai Zuo can run faster than anyone else.

Proceeding from the moral concept of human civilization, it is better to nip problems in the bud before they arise, rather than vigorously supporting them or letting them go freely.

"If you continue to think along this line of thought, then those 'gods' are not completely bad, or really have a great advantage that cannot be challenged."

An envoy frowned and said, "If they are completely bad, then these wise sons should be responsible for the extinction of species, not observing."

In other words, they may not have absolute superiority, and they still need to face the challenges of other civilizations, and they dare not massively exterminate intelligent races within the galaxy. ”

"That's good news for us." The other envoy nodded, "We still need more information from the Zetarians though.

In the face of such a level of secrecy, no measure of secrecy is excessive. ”

With that, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bustling particle physicists on the observation platform—for no apparent reason, a chill drifted through the hearts of the scholars.

"It's not necessary." Leon pursed his lips and said casually: "The role of Zhizi is not limited to interfering particle collisions, it can not only invade any electronic device and cause interference and manipulation to it, but also listen and monitor the human world.

Every word we say here, Tomoko can hear it clearly. ”

"What?!" The envoys almost dropped their jaws on the ground, ignoring the reserve of the superiors, and their eyes widened like copper bells.

"Hehe, after all, Tomoko is a scientific and technological creation that has been ahead of mankind for countless years, and the ability to master this little detail is not surprising."

Li Ang smiled: "But fortunately, Zhizi can't invade the human brain, and can't implant thoughts and ideas in the human brain. It can be said that our thinking is our last barrier. ”

The envoys lowered their heads one after another, the importance of this information is undoubted, if even the language, pen and paper, e-mail and other communication methods between human individuals will be interfered with by Tomoko's eavesdropping, then the precautions against Tomoko must be upgraded again....

"We will inform the United Nations to set up a special agency to deal with these matters." The envoys said, "What is your suggestion, then, Mr. Leon?" How should we respond to the coming threat? ”

"It's very simple, development, to bring out the maximum efficiency that the human race can come up with, and to seek development."

"A sky elevator capable of transmitting matter to the surface of low-earth orbit, a geocentric tunnel that directly connects various regions of the earth, an anti-gravity engine, a sub-light spaceship, and a gravitational bomb.....

The rapid mastery of these technologies is the basis for humanity to be able to resist extraterrestrial invaders.

And all of this must first break through the Zhizi barrier, and it all depends on the efforts of you particle physicists. ”

Although the particle physicists present are not believers in pure reason, the attributes of "objectivity", "rigor" and "constant thinking" are still engraved in the depths of their minds.

The particle physicists, who had taken on the fate of the rise and fall of the race, immediately recovered after a short period of heavy pressure, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Leon, what do you think is the essence of Zhizi?" ”

"At present, we do not have much information, and on the basis of the current data, I speculate that those extraterrestrial civilizations are two-dimensional unfolds of a basic particle.

The two-dimensional particle plane is large enough to allow an alien civilization to etch intricate circuits into the particle plane and make it into a machine.

When this is done, re-dimension the particles, shrinking them down to normal particles. ”

Leon paused and said indifferently: "And this particle should be a positively charged proton." ”

"Why not neutrons? Is it because of the unstable nature of free neutrons? ”

"There is a reason for this," Leon nodded, and said, "Compared with neutrons, protons are less prone to decay, and protons have a positive charge, once there is a mistake in the process of reducing and assigning dimensions, such as mistakenly expanding protons in zero dimensions instead of two-dimension, it is very likely to cause black holes."

The use of positively charged protons allows extraterrestrial civilizations to use magnetic fields in advance to bind the impending black hole and prevent it from causing indiscriminate destruction. ”

Many of the scholars lowered their heads, frowned and began to think, and after a while, someone looked up and asked, "After the etching circuit is completed, these protons become microscopic machines."

The acceleration of matter in the microscopic realm is much simpler than in the macroscopic realm, and the proton can be accelerated to the speed of light and run towards the planets in the Milky Way. ”

Someone in the crowd chimed in: "Not only that, but with enough space to operate on the two-dimensional plane, the alien civilization can give protons the power to absorb vacuum energy, so that protons don't need to worry about energy depletion." On top of that, protons in the microscopic realm can reach the speed of light on their own, without having to face the dreaded accelerating load of the macroscopic realm. ”

"Very well, you guys are starting to draw inferences." Leon nodded and said, "Just imagine, being able to accelerate to the speed of light on its own means that it only takes one or two wise sons to completely block all the particle accelerators of the lower civilizations.

LAC、HERA、BEPC、SPS、SSC....

Although these particle accelerators built by humans are distributed in different countries and regions, they are too close for Tomoko, who runs at the speed of light.

Tomoko could have interfered with the particle collision experiment of the first accelerator first, and then calmly rushed to the next location to interfere with the experiment. ”

One scholar raised his hand and said, "Wait, then we can also start more than two particle colliders at the same time, so that Zhizi alone cannot work." ”

"It's useless." Li Ang shook his head and said indifferently: "Zhizi's thinking and reaction speed and action speed far exceed that of humans, and the time it takes to rush from the first collider to the second collider is too short and too short, even if you take out the most advanced detection instrument of human civilization, don't think about detecting this extremely small error."

Not on this shore, not on the other shore, not in the middle, Tomoko, who walks at the speed of light, has the ability to crush human detection instruments in all directions. ”

What Leon said was a bit heavy, but after all, he was facing the smartest group of people on the planet, and he quickly put forward several ideas.

"Mr. Leon, can we build more particle colliders? Like hundreds? Thousands? In that case, with a detection instrument, it may be possible to correct the fallacy caused by Tomoko. ”

"It's possible, but it's not realistic." Li Ang shook his head and said, "There is probably more than one Zhizi, and according to my estimate, we need at least 40,000 or more particle accelerators to operate at the same time to ensure that a single Zhizi has no time to interfere at the same time."

In that case, the amount of manpower, material and financial resources consumed is simply astronomical, and even if it is built by the mechanical octopus of the school city, it will not be able to gather the precious metal materials needed for the particle accelerator in a short time.

Moreover, the huge land area it occupies will also have a huge impact on human society. ”

Li Ang paused, looked at someone in the crowd who was about to ask out loud, and said in advance: "There are two ways to prevent Zhizi from interfering, one is to build enough particle accelerators, which has been denied. The second is to pull the distance between the particle accelerators long enough. ”

The second way made the experts excited for a while, but they immediately wilted, if there is only a single Zhizi, it is easy to say, but in the face of multiple Zhizi, it is really unrealistic to extend the distance.

The experts fell silent, and someone whispered unwillingly, "Mr. Li Ang, didn't you succeed in stopping Zhizi's interference just now?" If we continue to experiment, we will be able to discover new particles and new structures of matter without interference. ”

"That's not realistic." Leon shook his head and destroyed the experts' assumptions, "I just discovered the Higgs particle three times in a row, completely because of the accumulation of previous experiments, I can redo the experiment according to the previous conditions, which is equivalent to shooting at a giant target, which is simple and easy."

But discovering new particles is much more difficult, and even if interference is excluded, it is only a 0 in a 0.000001% chance, subtracting a zero, which also requires thousands of repeated experiments.

Even if it's me, I can't maintain the barrier all the time and stop Tomoko. ”

Leon's words disappointed the experts, and for this group of scholars who have struggled in the field of particle physics all their lives, blocking the way forward is undoubtedly the most painful.

“.... Is our future so decided? Someone said bitterly, "If we can't break through the Zhizi barrier, then no matter how we develop, we won't be able to compete with the alien fleet you are talking about." ”

"Not really." Li Ang shook his head and said calmly: "What you have to do is to buy time, unite forces, and develop technology rapidly. As for the problem of the Zhizi barrier, I will go out for a while and solve it. ”
