Chapter 40: Destructive Technology

Science and technology have always been a double-edged sword, if not controlled, the more advanced the technology, the greater the probability of stabbing oneself. According to the theory of technological destruction, several technologies such as biological science, artificial intelligence, and nanorobots have the possibility of becoming black shells.

Scientists had different opinions around this point, and they began to discuss what other technologies could become black shells, and Yu Yifeng also participated in it with interest. Gradually, they discovered that there were far more than those that could become black shells......

This suspicion covers almost every cutting-edge field, such as the Large Hadron Collider, genetically modified organisms, cloning technology, and so on. Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Information Engineering...... Almost all areas are extremely dangerous when they develop to the depths!

These dangerous technologies are the level of red shells, if not black shells, and must be treated with caution!

How can it be so easy to climb technology? If you are not careful, it will self-destruct, and it is difficult for the new human civilization to develop rapidly! Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh.

However, it is not possible for human beings to choke on food because of these dangers. All the groping still has to continue...... There's no way, humans are really too weak, even if these technologies may backfire at any time, they still have to be used.

It's just that people have to be careful, careful, and careful!

Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng's heart moved, there is also the largest black shell, that is, Perfect Element! Perfection is powerful, mysterious, and definitely has the ability to destroy the world!

In 2010, Americans once leaked a little perfection that almost had catastrophic consequences......

Those perfection elements are really only a little bit, but they were accidentally absorbed by some ordinary bacteria, and the worst thing is that they leaked out.

They have evolved into superbugs that are not afraid of any antibiotics, and once a person is sick, there is no way to cure it. Fortunately, these superbugs are only tenacious, and their reproductive ability has not evolved significantly, and they have not spread over a large area in the first place.

But the Americans are still helpless against this bacterium. Although they still follow the basic characteristics of life on Earth, they can be killed by high temperatures, low temperatures, and strong oxidants. However, there is nothing that can be done about superbugs that live in the human body.

In order to prevent the emergence of Resident Evil, the Americans decisively "humanely destroyed" these patients...... Then they razed the entire laboratory and hospital to the ground and burned them all over again, finally destroying all these superbugs......

This is an undisclosed secret, and Yu Yifeng only discovered it when he was sorting out the archives recently, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, there were a lot of black histories in the past......

Since then, the coalition government has been very strict with the supervision of Perfection, and any plan for Perfection needs to be approved and strictly monitored.

Perfectionin, a very peculiar substance, can promote the evolution of life. For now, it can only work on plants or single-celled organisms.

When it comes to intelligent multicellular animals, it triggers their brain death, and the cause is unknown. The only exception is Yu Yifeng, no one knows why this is happening......

Yu Yifeng was thinking, if only he could transform all ordinary people into superhumans. At that time, there will be a qualitative leap in both intelligence and physical fitness.

Superhumans, really much stronger than ordinary people, how good would it be if there were 50,000 superhumans......

He secretly planned, this time is still too busy, I have time to ask Dr. Roman and them, after so many years, there is any progress in the research of perfection......

"Okay, let's get down to business, let's move on to the theory of the Great Filter of Life, and destructive technology is only the second possibility." Haigl pulls people's thoughts back.

"There is a third possibility, the Dark Forest Theory."

In one novel, the theory of the dark forest is described as follows: the universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking through the forest like a ghost, gently brushing away the branches that stand in the way, trying not to make a sound from his steps, and even breathing carefully.

He had to be careful, because the woods were full of hunters who were just as stealthy as he was, and if he found something else, there was only one thing he could do: shoot them.

In this forest, others are hell, eternal threats, and any life that exposes its existence will be quickly wiped out, this is the picture of cosmic civilization, and this is the interpretation of Fermi's paradox.

Once discovered, only one party will survive, or none of them will survive......"

"Therefore, the advanced civilizations are all silent, and they curl up their huge bodies for fear of bringing the slightest fluctuation. We, the little fish and shrimp, because we don't understand anything, instead frolic happily in the shallows, broadcasting our locations everywhere. ”

"Between the civilizations of the universe, there may be only war, not peace...... Countless civilizations have been destroyed in war. ”

"So our home planet, Earth, has been destroyed. As powerful as the Noah's civilization, there is not even a trace, which makes people wonder if they have been destroyed? ”

"In my opinion, the Dark Forest Theory is a better explanation......"

Heiger's questioning overwhelmed everyone. It is unimaginable that a female scientist can have such a powerful aura, and she can suppress everyone on the field by herself, even Yu Yifeng is suppressed.

The pessimists have the absolute upper hand at this moment......

Yu Yifeng turned his head to look at Lan Bo, only his brows furrowed, as if he was trying to think about something. Many optimistic comrades also looked at Rimbaud......

A few minutes later, Rimbaud, who lived up to his expectations, jumped out again, and he mustered up his courage, "I think that the basic assumptions of the Dark Forest Theory and the Great Filter Theory are contradictory, and only one is correct. ”

"The theory of the great filter of life screens out a large number of civilizations that do not meet the requirements, so the interstellar civilization must be sparse, which is also in line with our basic common sense."

But there are three premises of the Dark Forest Theory: survival is the first need of civilization; Civilization is growing and expanding; The total amount of matter in the universe remains largely unchanged. ”

"To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of survival and development that civilizations begin to grab territory, and only then do you have a life-and-death war."

According to this theory, technological breakthroughs must be simple, and interstellar civilizations will be dense. Only dense interstellar civilizations need to grab territory with each other. ”

"The Big Filter Theory says that interstellar civilizations are sparse. And the other, on the contrary, said to be dense. ”

"So, the Dark Forest Theory and the Great Filter Theory are fundamentally contradictory! Logically, I'm more inclined to the big filter theory, because it has more evidence and supporting points! The Dark Forest Theory, on the other hand, is purely hypothetical, and very little can be proven. Maybe there are local wars between civilizations in the universe, but it is impossible for the whole universe to be at war! ”

Under Rimbaud's explanation, everyone nodded, according to this statement, the two theories are indeed contradictory. Just like human civilization, if there are enough resources and a large enough territory, why bother with war?

It's like a world with only a few tens of thousands of people, all spread in all corners, so where does war come from? Even if you don't know each other at all, there's no need to fight you to the death, right?

"From a personal point of view, I still think that interstellar civilizations are rare. A civilization that can step into the starry sky shouldn't be so barbaric...... Of course, this is only my subjective consciousness, and there is no evidence for it...... Perhaps there are also races with different ideologies than ours and who love war. ”

Dr. Rimbaud finished speaking in one breath and sighed lightly, it was impossible to refute the Dark Forest theory directly, because there was really too little information. But he was astute in pointing out the contradictions between the two theories. Of the two theories, only one of which is true, it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false until there is more information, it depends on which one people believe.

Of course, more scientists are leaning towards the big filter theory. Although the Dark Forest Theory has two evidences, "the earth is destroyed" and "Noah's civilization is gone", it is still insufficient! After all, there are other claims to these two pieces of evidence, which are not necessarily explained by the Dark Forest.

But these words alerted Yu Yifeng that preparations for civilized warfare are still necessary!

If a war really breaks out, it will not be an internal war of mankind, but a life-and-death war between interstellar civilizations, and there will be no room for anything.

Human weapons are still too rubbish, and more powerful weapons of war must be developed!

Lasers, electromagnetic cannons, and a nuclear bomb with a larger yield!

(At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it will be forcibly pushed on the classification, and there may be a large number of trolls swarming in, all kinds of faulty parties, logic parties, and some are completely blind, as if spraying the author with eunuchs can prove their greatness...... This is how many new authors are dissuaded......

In fact, it is inevitable that there will be bugs, even basic mathematical axioms have bugs, let alone a web novel.

Of course, I know a lot of this book, but it shouldn't affect the reading much. I hope that friends who like this book can help me refute the trolls, otherwise I can't fight alone, thank you in advance! )
