Chapter 62 Local Optimum and Global Optimum

Yu Yifeng thought of something more.

Comfortable, so comfortable!

Most people are thinking about running away......

Since the explosion of the Earth, humanity has been forced to flee into a dangerous universe, first the Moon, then Mars, and then the planet Nix, almost every step can be described as an adventure......

If it was more than 100 years ago, people would have quarreled about such great opportunities and challenges, but ...... Adventurous, will definitely occupy the majority! Because people at that time needed to become stronger, they needed industry, they needed technology......

But now, the development has reached the level of interstellar civilization, and a kind of thinking called "comfort" has gradually taken over people's minds. It's not just the soldiers who lack murder, but also the upper echelons of the government.

Yes, and the same is true at the top of government!

People have become afraid to take risks, they don't want to take risks, and they want to live their lives in peace.

In other words, the inferior genetic philosophy of mankind itself is destined for this, and from the genetic level, there has never been a more noble than another K-class civilization......

Human beings are united only because of some good fortune, because of some adventures, because they have made the right choice at a certain time...... And because of the legacy of another declining civilization, it barely crossed the big filter, and that's it.

This nascent interstellar civilization is still too weak.

The quality of modern people has indeed become better, and even the ideal society in the minds of some sociologists has been realized. However, invisibly, genetic philosophical theories such as "survival" and "reproduction" as well as the "theory of increasing the entropy of civilization" continue to induce civilization to degenerate.

"People's lives are good enough, so why not maintain the status quo? Why take the risk? ”

That's what it is...... The inherent thinking of the current civilization!

But the theory of entropy increase states that nothing in the universe is eternal...... For a civilization, if it cannot move forward, it is the beginning of entropy to the extreme, and decay can only go back.

Yu Yifeng was born in special forces, and in the past, he was very sensitive to danger. What now...... This instinct of danger, which had not appeared for more than a hundred years, made his perception of danger rather dull.

People are like this, and what they don't use will slowly degenerate, even superhumans...... The same is true of a civilization made up of individual human beings!

He silently felt the crisis in his heart, savoring this feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time.

"Dangerous...... Dangerous...... Under the weather...... To get bent out of shape. ”

But for human beings, this kind of uneasiness, this kind of crisis, is the driving force to move forward! Will interstellar civilization advance indefinitely?

Of course not!

Why are the Destroyer civilizations so powerful? Perhaps, their genetic philosophies are just as inferior...... But they have grown up in crisis and war!

Yu Yifeng realized something, and just thought like this, the new human civilization is very young, but it seems to be a little dull......

He savored the uneasiness in his heart......

Dangerous, dangerous, hellish dangerous......

But this danger feels a bit far away...... It didn't reach the intensity of the dying ......

"Is it still ...... controllable?"

Looking at the arguing crowd, Yu Yifeng suddenly made up his mind.

He raised his hand and signaled, everyone suddenly quieted down, and Yu Yifeng said seriously: "Do you know...... I'm afraid, afraid that our adventurous actions will lead the entire civilization into the abyss of extinction! ”

But I'm also afraid that we are now making a "runaway", a seemingly right choice, but in the process of development, the whole civilization has become more cowardly and more daring to take risks. ”

"Today's decision may be a key point in the development of civilization......

"This general trend...... It's like a snowball, after reaching a certain point, we want to change but can't...... It's really hard, like an avalanche, to destroy everything that stands in its way. ”

"This should be a process of increasing the entropy of civilization, right?"

The development of civilization is continuous, it is a complex chaotic problem, and the same thing please have an impact, not only now, but also in the distant future...... Why did the germ of capitalism emerge in the West, and not in the East, perhaps with a faint hint of a thousand years ago......

For a good leader, his goal, of course, is to find the optimal solution to a complex problem. However, due to the limitations of intelligence, people can often only find the local optimal solution, and this algorithm is called "greedy algorithm".

In layman's terms, it is to take one step at a time, and whichever step is easy to take......

However, with such a simple and crude algorithm, for a complex problem, there is a high probability that the global optimal solution will not be found, but it is easy to fall into a dead end......

"Now, although we are sure that we will win, we dare not block it, although we have a very reasonable answer...... Yes, the run is quite correct, it looks right......"

But that's the beginning of a lack of courage. This kind of beginning, in fact, is not formed in a day or two, but in a year, two years, a hundred years......"

"This general trend is affecting you, affecting me, and affecting everyone. As a matter of fact...... It is the result of finding the local optimal solution. ”

Seeing that Xu Yunjin still had something to say, Yu Yifeng looked at him and raised a finger: "Of course, taking risks is not sending you to death...... Finding courage is not an endless way to stay here......"

"A month, we continue to be here for a month! A month is not much, and if it really doesn't work, we'll leave! ”

"Alright, that's my final decision!"

In this way, Yu Yifeng was already determined to continue to capture Gaia creatures here, and the conference room was almost silent, and everyone was thinking about the few words he said. If people run away now, it seems reasonable, but maybe thousands or hundreds of years from now, people will be trapped in endless remorse.

Remorse that today, humanity has cowardly fled!

Xu Yunjin originally wanted to say a few words, but suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Greed is an original sin, and even interstellar civilizations can't get rid of it.

And comfort is an original sin that directly leads people to indulge in the ocean of matter...... A civilization that is increasingly lacking in courage will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the sea of stars.

"In this case, we must speed up our educational activities!" An expert said suddenly.

"It is necessary to quickly capture the "Gaia Creature" through various methods as soon as possible, and it would be great if it was captured and escaped before the arrival of the alien spacecraft! ”

Immediately afterwards, the meeting began to discuss some details, such as whether to hide the Deep Space as soon as possible, whether to make a large cloth and cover the Deep Space to reduce the possibility of being observed, and so on.

The larger Titan spaceship should also be recalled to hide, and it doesn't matter if the humans on the surface are too small, and the possibility of being discovered in the first place is very low......

All in all, all actions are aimed at reducing the likelihood of being observed.

At the end of the meeting, everyone scattered worriedly with a lot of work to do, and according to the content of the meeting, people had to hide everything that would cause exposure as soon as possible.

Yu Yifeng, on the other hand, was preparing to land on the planet from the Titan spaceship again and issue more instructions.

Although it is safer to stay in Deep Space than to stay on the planet, with so many people fighting on the front line, Yu Yifeng is still willing to stand on the front line and share the risk with them.

At this time, Xiao Yu, another young member of the think tank, hurriedly chased after him: "Captain, I also thought of something else, please ......."

"How?" Yu Yifeng opened the hatch of the ship and turned around and asked.

His psychology is heavy now, and at least the decision to stay here is his own decision.

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "I think that although the success rate of our bet is not small, it is not big, almost half of it...... The decision is in the hands of the other party! ”

"We don't know what the higher interstellar civilizations are capable of, we can only know from Black's description...... But it is impossible for Black to know everything in civilization......"

Yu Yifeng sighed, and in the face of this young man, he said directly: "So, no strategy is absolutely safe. If we want absolute safety, we can only leave this planet now......"

"But the risks are always proportional to the benefits! You also heard what I just said, that the interests are not just Gaia creatures, but also the ideology of our entire civilization. We, too comfortable, will fall......"
