Chapter 148: Ninety-Eight Years!

When Yu Yifeng walked out of the conference room, he was still thinking about the development plan for the next few decades.

"Dramatically increasing populations, antimatter weapons, gravitational-wave broadcasting technology, nanotechnology, dark matter theory, more and more powerful spacecraft ......" There are many, many things to develop in the future.

Science and technology are closely linked, yet separate.

Science is biased towards theory, which is equivalent to the main rod of a "big tree" and has a guiding role. And technology is the transformation of science into practicality, which is a branch on the main pole.

The emergence of the two actually has a certain order, that is, ...... A certain lag.

With the development of the times and the deepening of science, this lag is being stretched longer and longer......

Faraday invented the electric generator, and it was more than forty years before there was an electric light; Einstein's mass-energy equation was discovered decades after the atomic bomb was discovered.

There is much more science, and there is simply no way for humans to turn it into a "technology" that can be used.

This kind of "transformation" requires experience, accumulation, and ingenuity.

For example, in the Standard Model, in addition to gravity, the other three basic forces have long been unified.

But human beings have never been able to convert electromagnetic forces into strong interactions, nor have they been able to create exaggerated ...... Strongly interacting materials.

For example, humans can already use dark matter to distort space, causing space to expand and contract slightly, but they cannot create a static gravitational field to create artificial gravity and antigravity......

It takes a long time to transform scientific theories into more practical technologies.

Now the human technology tree, L2, L3, and L4 are all involved, and the main rod is very long, but there are not many branches, almost a bare middle one.

That is, there are many theories that are temporarily in a state of "uselessness". The branch technology at all levels is far from being excavated cleanly, and even ...... Not even one in 10,000.

"But we don't have a large population...... If you want to dig to your limit, it is estimated that tens of thousands of years are not enough, it will take hundreds of thousands, millions of years! Now the huge technology tree is no longer comparable to the time of low-level civilization. ”

"So there has to be a research focus, which is...... Create our own unique technology! Then, use these technologies to trade with other friendly civilizations, so that you can communicate with each other and save time. ”

Yu Yifeng believes that the research of nanotechnology is the top priority at present.

The level of science and technology does not represent the practicality, but to a certain extent, it represents the difficulty of research and the ...... "price" of this technology.

Because of the existence of intellectual barriers, higher-level technology is often more difficult to research, and the scarcity is expensive, and its price will be higher. Low-level technology, which can be studied by ordinary civilizations, tends to be cheaper.

"An ordinary technology based on L3 nanoscience may be exchanged for three ordinary technologies based on the L2 dark matter theory in terms of price......"

Nowadays, nanotechnology is becoming more and more difficult to mix and match with various disciplines, and almost all cutting-edge science is basically carried out by transhuman scientists.

In the past, human scientists could only figure out some corners and engage in some empirical work.

This can't help but make Yu Yifeng secretly sigh at the strength of the intellectual barrier, if there is no perfection element, maybe human beings will stop at L3 or L4.

Without the assistance of "Ling", which comes with a variety of natural templates, it is estimated that even the study of nanodynamics can only be slow like a snail crawling.

"But...... Even if nanodynamics is difficult, our transhuman scientists still have something to spare. Therefore, we should not give up this advantage...... It's about digging deeper! ”

“…… In the future, exchanging technology with other civilizations can also dominate. ”

"Ordinary scientists, on the other hand, can engage in research in L2 dark matter science......"

Thinking about this, Yu Yifeng really wanted to be ruthless and use everyone with perfection to transform them into superhumans with higher intelligence.

With the increase of superhumans, he deeply felt the gap between the two individual abilities.

The lifespan of ordinary people is only a short hundred years, and with various technical means, it is only four hundred years, which is too short in the entire universe.

And superhuman, with a lifespan of thousands of years, and then using the current various means of life extension, a total of more than 4,000 years, which is slightly considerable.

It's not just lifespan, it's all about it......

Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh.

With the gradual increase in the population, there have been calls for a "universal superhuman project" among the people and even at the top of the government.

Superhumans are much stronger than ordinary people, and after the whole people are converted to superhumans, the speed of climbing technology can undoubtedly be greatly increased by I don't know how many times.

"For ordinary scientists, the current difficulty has gradually reached its limit...... It's normal for them to want to be smarter. ”

In recent years, no matter how the government departments have formulated plans, there has been no way to naturally transition the thinking of citizens to the aspect of "raising children in public".

"The current social system is perfect. Raising children as an individual is actually a natural responsibility under great wealth. In order to set an example for children, the degree of self-consciousness of citizens is ensured to a certain extent. ”

"It's not beautiful to change it hastily."

"But if you don't change, you won't be able to pass the intellectual barrier...... Yu Yifeng sighed again: "We...... Do you still have to rely on Perfectin with unknown side effects? ”

After careful study, the government decided to ...... The "Transhuman Project for All" has been put on hold for the time being.

For one, biologists have not yet proven that perfection is absolutely safe; Second, now that the population is not up to the standard at all, we have to be patient for a while, otherwise everyone will use Perfection Vegetarian, and the population growth rate will be even lower.

"Five to six million people!"

He looked up at the bright starry sky, and there was a little confusion in his eyes...... It seems to have been there...... The direction of the sun.

There are still many unsolved mysteries in the world...... Is Perfection safe?

Have humanoids taken over the galaxy?

What is the interstellar civilization trading market?

All this ...... It all needs to be revealed by humans themselves.

"Come on!"

Yu Yifeng quickly regained his fighting spirit and threw himself into his busy work......

Time flies.

Ten years, twenty years have passed......

It's the New Humanity Calendar...... In 0561, the 98th year of the new human race in the Mio Galaxy.

The spectacular and beautiful new generation of the mothership, the Homeland, has been in the space dock and was officially completed forty years ago, and all the structures are made of nanomaterials, making it an extremely expensive spacecraft.

Gaia's creature "Rei" played a huge role in this process. The ultra-high production capacity is almost comparable to that of the new human civilization, and even many technologies have been deduced by her.

Thirty years ago, the technology of truly controlled nuclear fusion was finally completed.

For this technology, humans use inertial restraint technology, which uses high-energy lasers to attack target pellets in all directions. These plasma particles are compressed to a high-temperature, high-density state by centripetal explosion, resulting in a nuclear fusion reaction.

In fact, this device is only a variant of the nuclear blaster, using helium-3 and deuterium, but it is a small device made of nano-materials that has been improved for generations.

And the "Noah" inside the Homeland, after so many years, has been full of material resources.

This time the load is really full, using more than 70% of the space, which was an inconceivably large project in the past.

The interior space of the Noah is 200 kilometers in diameter horizontally and 60 kilometers in length vertically. Such a large ellipsoid, the internal volume ...... As high as 1.2 million cubic kilometers, it was actually filled with human beings!

Although it is not all solid, there are various forest parks, oceans, air, etc., but the material resources are really massive! 1.2 million cubic kilometers, it's hard to imagine how big it is.

Except for the planetary-level ships, in terms of resources, there are almost no ships that can match this amount of resources.

The amount of work of the entire loading project is almost hundreds of times larger than the construction of the "Homeland"!

Is it because of ...... Nanotechnology.

During this time, as more and more transhuman scientists joined in, the development of nanotechnology became more and more rapid, and the functions of various robots gradually became more complex.

Even excavators for mineral mining have gradually been eliminated and turned into ...... Mining-type nanobots.

This ultra-small nanobot has only two functions, reproduction and decomposition. It can be used both as a combat weapon and as a mining weapon.

As long as enough radio energy is provided, the nanobots will work autonomously, breaking down hard stones into very fine sands. When the mine is completely dismantled, the sand is loaded back into smelting with a loading machine.

I don't know how many times higher the mining speed is than the original technology!

In the past 100 years, with the efforts of the whole people, all the science and technology of the new human civilization have shown a thriving attitude.
