Chapter 178: The Geyingsa
All of the above is an ambitious plan that has not yet been realized. Whether it can be achieved or not is unknown...... But without ambition and illusion, there is no way to become a truly high-level civilization. The development of science and technology has become more and more difficult, and even more intelligent transhuman scientists feel a sense of blockage.
Since the birth of interstellar civilization, it has been a sinister process of either advancing or retreating.
Because there are too many resources and the external pressure is not too high, degenerate and sinking civilizations abound. To summarize it in sociological terms, it can be called the process of "involution" of interstellar civilization.
During the Earth era, a reporter once interviewed a boy who was herding sheep and left such a classic dialogue:
"Why are you herding sheep?"
"To sell for money."
"What do you do by selling for money?"
"Marry a daughter-in-law."
"What do you do with a daughter-in-law?"
"Have a baby."
"Why did you have a baby?"
"Sheep grazing." This dialogue vividly illustrates this phenomenon of "involution".
The same is true for interstellar civilizations, where the environment is relaxed, there is no pressure to survive, and coupled with the difficulties of scientific and technological development, a civilization will gradually tend to stay in a state of reincarnation with simple repetition and no progress for a long time. This state is the most troublesome and stable for the entire civilization, and it will continue to exist like this without the intervention of external forces.
But Yu Yifeng didn't want the new human race to degenerate and become corrupted, and become a boring civilization that enjoyed material things all day long and repeated every day.
"You say, can it be done? Especially with regard to the auxiliary brain aspect. ”
The sun was just right, and Yu Yifeng asked Yuriko beside him.
At this time, the sunlight is really star-shining, which makes people feel extraordinarily comfortable. The high glass cover in the air seemed to be invisible, and there was no trace to be seen.
"I don't know, we can't imagine technology four or five hundred years from now. Our talents have become large-scale, and there are many geniuses in the next few generations......"
"But ......," Yu Yifeng said, "I always feel that this is our last chance." Once it fails, these hundreds of years will be in vain, which is equivalent to not much development. Our civilization will not have the will to climb these peaks. ”
Yuriko smiled slightly: "Anyway, even if it's in vain, we have to go on, don't we?" ”
"yes. We're going to keep going, and we're going to keep going......"
……
A month later, the Pangu had left the planet of naturally boiling water and headed towards the Southern Cross Cantilever, near the Silver Heart......
Time flies, and it always passes firmly and there is no possibility of turning back.
The ancient universe, after all, is monotonous, and from a macroscopic point of view, it is more tranquil than a pool of stagnant water. In the Milky Way, the frequency of supernova explosions is almost once in 50 years, and a short period of time can only illuminate a small area, and then it will calm down again.
For the most part, the entire galaxy just spins so silently, as if everything would grow old so naturally.
The vast majority of low-level civilizations are drunk and dreaming in their own homes, and they can't even get out of the door of the planet.
Even most of the interstellar civilizations that have stepped out of the gate are gradually decaying and aging in this comfort......
Entropy increase is an eternal theme, and once every civilization stagnates the pace of progress, there will not be much possibility of progress...... From this point of view, if the universe is a dark forest, then everyone may be more active and more active in climbing technology.
Time passed year by year, and the Pangu did not encounter too many special events. Even in the process of sailing, even any interstellar civilization has not been encountered.
Speaking of which, this phenomenon is also very normal. There are only two or three thousand interstellar civilizations in the Milky Way, distributed over a territory of more than 100,000 light-years, how can they be so easy to encounter?
According to the current scientific and technological strength of the new human race, as long as they do not die and run near supernovae and black holes, there will not be much danger.
Stop-and-go along the way, it's really like a starry sky tour.
The universalization of life has added a little color to the whole journey of the starry sky...... It's just a bit of color.
Every time they pass by a living planet, people collect some biological specimens. The universe is so big, there are so many planets, there are always some strange races.
For example, a worm called the "king worm" found on a certain planet will undergo a series of changes in its biological structure depending on the host. Its genetic material seems to have been pieced together by many organisms.
This species may have been indiscriminately modified by a low-level civilization in some experiments, but it unexpectedly has very strong parasitic and offensive capabilities.
As a result, a large number of species on this planet are almost all parasitized by king insects!
"Of course, this creature doesn't have much research value, it's just a coincidence."
Sometimes, when people discover certain intelligent races, they will also collect some biological specimens along the way.
For scientists, the value of intelligent life is higher than that of any parasite, at least the way in which the brain gives birth to intelligence...... With current biotechnology, in fact, only a few activated cells are needed, and it is not difficult to clone one in its original form.
But this kind of journey, in most cases, is boring, and many times it takes years to sail to the next planet. However, I found that the species there had no scientific research value, and after a long time, they gradually became numb.
At the current stage of the new human race, there is not much left to be surprised by......
Later in the voyage, even on the edge of Orion's cantilever, an erect Homo sapiens called "Homo sapiens" was discovered, and the planet finally sparked widespread interest among scientists.
The "Geyingsa people" look very similar to humans, and their living environment is quite similar!
During this period of sailing, many new members were born among the new humans, so Yu Yifeng specially arranged for these new members to go to this planet for social experience, just like the period of Yufu 2......
Experiencing life on an indigenous planet, experiencing some of the dark side, and feeling the complex laws of the jungle is indeed good for human growth.
On the other hand, there is a subtle but important purpose for staying near the planet Ge Yingsa...... Assist in brain research!
The structure of the brain of the Guyinsa is very, very similar to that of humans!
In the new human civilization, human cloning technology is prohibited by law, even by the former earthlings. But there are no real experiments, and this technology is always in the theoretical stage.
The discovery of the "Ge Yingsa Man" provides a good experimental object for the study of the auxiliary brain.
As a result, the problem arises again, when morality and science are opposed, there is always a series of contradictions.
In particular, the moral system of the Noah society is highly developed, and those great scientists stand at their own level, naturally have their own moral concepts and a solid world view. For the sake of scientific knowledge, to treat another civilization as an experiment, the kind of bloody live experiment, which must be carried out while still alive, is really a bit beyond the ability of normal people to accept.
Even if these efforts are concealed from the vast majority of the population, a considerable number of biologists still express a degree of opposition.
Human compassion is a very complex emotion, especially in this kind of experiment with a high probability of death, and the subject is still a creature very similar to humans......
One moment, they were still on their own planet, playing with their wives and daughters, and the next moment they were hijacked by soldiers on the operating table, and halfway through the experiment, they hung up...... This kind of tragic experience is always associated with themselves, and it brings a series of disgust. Even the great scientists are no exception......
"A group of virgins!" When the radical Dr. Rimbaud heard about this, he scolded in front of Yi Feng.
A member of the think tank for so many years is now saying something, and he basically does not shy away from it.
"But this kind of experiment, we must carry out, especially, in three hundred years, our theory has made a series of breakthroughs, and it is in need of experiments to verify! This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”
"I know......" Yu Yifeng sighed, but the scientists were unwilling, could they still force the executive order?
The best thing is that Yu Yifeng thought of a more compromise plan: to secretly take those "Ge Yingsa people" who were about to die because of an accident as test subjects.
Anyway, they're going to die, and if they use it for experiments, maybe they will survive, and they will be a blessing in disguise!
From killing people to saving people, all scientists are suddenly able to accept it again......
