Chapter Ninety-Six: A Detector
Computational is important for scientific research, but research intuition, insight, and sensitivity are even more important...... Brain chips don't dramatically enhance these abstractions.
Only perfection can really strengthen the brain in all aspects, and even increase the ability of "intuition......
In a way that is incomprehensible to humans......
Yes, at the current level of biology, it is still difficult to understand the mechanism of action of perfectionin.
Even so, people have developed brain chips that provide high computing capacity. However, we still only know 12 out of 10 about the macro and micro aspects of brain structure.
What does self-awareness come about?
Is there a soul at all?
How can we make people smarter?
I don't know......
There are so many mysteries in the universe.
"But what is the intuition of scientific research...... Is it an IQ? ”
"This increase in IQ is the same as the increase in IQ in the brain chip...... It seems to be different. It's incomprehensible......"
"Could it be that the value of perfection is to improve IQ?"
Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng felt a little dazed.
He suddenly said with some sorrow: "I wonder, does a civilization have its own intellectual limits? After all, our human abilities are limited......"
"For nearly 100 years, we've been working on nanotechnology very, quite hard...... Our scientists are geniuses, true geniuses, but they have felt the almost infinite complexity of this science, which advances so slowly......"
"I'm wondering, because of the sheer amount of complexity, when the top geniuses can't promote future technology, will a civilization stagnate?"
"This stagnation is almost permanent...... Because when technology stagnates, its level is not enough to improve the intelligence of civilized individuals. It's an endless loop. ”
Yuriko was thoughtful and did not reply positively: "Maybe there is a possibility." Don't...... Improving intelligence is an extremely difficult subject, more difficult than nanotechnology and genetic technology? ”
"The good thing is...... Our nanotechnology is still developing slowly, and even if there is no perfection, it should not be the limit of our intelligence......"
"Alas, genetic dynamics may be our limit. A simple mind is difficult to comprehend a more difficult subject...... This is normal. ”
Yu Yifeng faintly felt the ultimate law of intellectual barriers in the universe, and through the window, he saw the starlight in the sky.
The obscure universe, so cold and cruel, the limits of a race, may have been predestined at the time of birth.
Can ants understand human subjects, can monkeys understand people's calculus, obviously, can't......
“…… Could it be that the existence of perfection is to better break the intellectual barrier? ”
"At least, it's a good thing that humanity is still advancing, and that this kind of progress will continue for a long time......"
Thinking of this, he shook his head and gave up these nonsense thoughts.
He walked directly out of the captain's room to inspect the "Deep Space".
The biggest purpose of this spacecraft overhaul is to replace the curvature engine on a large scale to achieve higher speeds!
…… 5 times the speed of light!
During this time, a genius scientist named "Kavala" constructed a more optimized mathematical model of the curvature bubble, which could theoretically reach the superluminal level of 5.17 times.
This curvature model was proposed and optimized by people themselves, and finally got rid of the "dilemma" of plagiarizing the green light people.
After a long period of experimentation and confirmation of its stability, a new batch of curvature engines has been developed and is being prepared for use.
In fact, after running such a long distance, it is impossible to turn back.
This is the sparse stellar zone between Orion's cantilever and the Sagittarius cantilever, and the nearest dwarf yellow star, also twenty light-years away, emits a faint glow......
From this distance, all the stars have no primary or secondary distinction.
If a person walked outside the spaceship and looked at the starry sky, without the help of the light of the Deep Space itself, he would be surprised to find that it was completely pitch black except for the starry sky.
This kind of pitch black is the kind that you can't see your fingers......
Yes, you can see the stars in the sky, but you can't see your own hands!
The density of photons here is too low and too low, even if the object reflects the photons, the human eye cannot recognize them.
Deep Space remained strictly silent, moving only by its own inertia. Many crew members were busy working inside and outside the ship, with regular signal lights emitting throughout the hull.
The entire engine replacement program will take two months, but people are not worried. After all, it has flown out of the speed of light for 400 light years, and when the other party's reconnaissance speed is still "light", it is not clear where people have run.
"They don't know where we've gone, but they can estimate our general direction, and they may be waiting for us to run out of resources...... They sail much faster than us! ”
"Oh, oh...... See what the gravitational-wave telescope has discovered, as these two planetary-class spacecraft are reversing backwards because of the information disruption brought about by the speed of light? Well, it should be a trace of gravitational waves from decades ago. Professor Thomson of the Observatory said with a smile as he held his chin.
"Actually, which star might they be lying in ambush...... Want to disguise yourself as a planet of some moment? ”
This kind of planetary-level spacecraft, which was often observed during maintenance in the past few decades, caused everyone's surprise, and now there are fewer and fewer of them. In fact, these are images from decades ago.
Well, the other party may not understand why the little "Deep Space" can hold on for so long.
The other party didn't know that such a low-level civilization would have such a thing as a gravitational wave telescope.
"Maybe we can look for some small-scale meteorite belts to replenish resources......"
"The probability is very low...... You can use long-wave radar to detect it, and it would be nice to find one or two small meteorites. A young student looked at the dim starry sky and whispered.
Professor Thomson smiled indisputably, of course, such fantasies are only found in young people.
In the vast expanse of space, the probability of a single meteorite suddenly appearing is extremely small, much lower than the probability of winning the lottery. Deep Space has been flying for so long and has not hit any meteorites.
Meteorites in space, either captured by the gravitational pull of the star, become comets. Or, because of the gravitational attraction, they attract each other and appear in clusters, which can be observed with gravitational wave telescopes.
As now, when gravitational wave telescopes have failed to observe, it is really unlikely that they will find a wandering meteorite with a smaller mass.
At least the first few times they stopped for testing, they found nothing.
"You can try it, with ultra-long-wave radar...... By the way, please check if there are any obstacles in the way forward......"
Even if the probability was low, Professor Thomson did not stop these young people from being in high spirits.
They began to gather in front of the radar, tirelessly searching in all directions......
Looking for ......
Looking for ......
"Ahh Yes! Look there, there's a ...... there," Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
A miracle happened, and in just a few hours, the radar actually observed an unknown small spot!
And, where humans can reach!
This time, even Professor Thomson was alarmed, and hurried over, a meteorite is a good concoction in boring days.
"Judging from the reflectivity, it is likely to be a meteorite full of metallic elements, good luck...... However, the volume is not large, about 30 meters long...... Hey? ”
"It's a bit strange and irregular, and I can't scan it out for the time being...... It is about 876,000 kilometers away from us. ”
"The speed is very high, 36.8 kilometers per second, which is far more than the orbiting speed of a normal star...... It's incredible, could it be sputtered out when the planets collide? ”
“…… You don't care so much, let's apply first! Locate it, don't lose it! ”
The young astronomers were talking excitedly.
This is the first time they have explored a wandering meteorite in more than 100 years! It could also be Deep Space, the first replenishment of matter in nearly a hundred years!
Of course, such a trivial matter did not need to alarm Yi Feng. After the military staff got the news, they were also interested. Immediately, according to their authority, they dispatched several small drones to capture the small meteorite.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, even if it is only supplemented with a few thousand tons of substance, it is not bad......
However, after the drone approached the "meteorite", the development of the matter quickly exceeded people's expectations. The soldiers, as well as the astronomers, were taken aback.
One by one, the emergency reports kept going up, and at the same time, they were also transmitted to Yu Yifeng's computer screen.
He clicked on the report and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.
"What? A space probe at a distance of 860,000 kilometers from our spacecraft? ”
According to the close-up photos of the drone, this circular detector has four solar panels that are wide and long.
In the middle is a circular cylinder, and in the tail there is an ion ejector, that is, the kind of interstellar engine that can only hold up a piece of paper......
This is very similar to the probes launched by humans before, that is, during the Earth period!
However, it is clear that this probe has exhausted all its energy and has not emitted any radio waves, so it wanders aimlessly in space, and then, it is lucky to encounter humans.
Even...... The metal on the surface of the detector is no longer smooth and has become pitted, and the solar panels no longer generate electricity.
These phenomena can only show that this large probe has been adrift in the universe for a long time......
Long to ...... It's completely broken!
Yu Yifeng pondered in his heart for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Capture!" ”
