Chapter 131: Goal: Seeing the World (Part II)
(Continued above)
Xu Liang: "It must be cooked!" Isn't that the reason for the super tsunami? ”
Duan Qing: "Well, that's what happened. ”
"You've already seen the video clip before, there is a dense layer of exudate on the bottom of the sea, which are all kinds of strong oxidizing substances, and morphologically, very similar to bacterial exudate. Imagine how much technological control it would take to be able to react completely with the combustible ice on the seabed? It is extremely difficult to ensure that there are enough bacteria to produce explosives in such a harsh environment as the deep sea! ”
"And do you remember? They can even control the order in which a tsunami erupts! And it is also necessary to accurately calculate the reaction ratio through chemistry......"
"Add up all these difficulties, and you can imagine that the undersea civilization may be a ...... Both biotechnology and chemical technology have developed to the extreme of civilization. ”
"This kind of use of biochemical technology, we are far from reaching!"
"Yes, I'm talking about biochemistry!"
"Perhaps in your eyes, only quantum mechanics, unified field theory, or artificial intelligence neural networks or something are the most advanced science and technology. But in fact, this is not the case, any technology development to the profound, can bring about an incomparably huge change in production capacity! ”
"Perhaps, the undersea civilization is such a civilization that has developed to the extreme in biotechnology and chemical technology?"
Duan Qing said her favorite topic, and felt her eyes light up: "You know what? There has always been an extremely interesting topic in the history of human science - the problem of the tech tree. ”
Xu Liang: "Isn't there a problem with technology trees in strategy games?" ”
Duan Qing: "Not really. In fact, the problem of the technology tree has always existed, and the question is, is there a wrong skill point in our technology? ”
Xu Liang tilted his head and pondered this sentence...... Although it is said in game terms such as Red Alert, Interstellar Warcraft, Civilization Empire, Middle Ages, etc., it seems that it is not so difficult to understand.
What if human technological development has gone astray?
Duan Qing said excitedly about this possibility: "You want to." Is it possible that the technology of spatial leap seems difficult to us, but it is actually very simple, just because we have clicked the wrong skill point, so we have not been able to research it? ”
"For another example, the principle of nuclear weapons seems very simple to us, you must know that it is really not difficult, and even Mi Minke can make a nuclear bomb at home through the information that can be found on the Internet (the real thing, there is still a TED talk made by that student on the Internet), will it be difficult for other civilizations to make nuclear weapons? Maybe other civilizations don't have uranium mines? Or, don't know how to build a microscope? Or did other civilizations not develop their civilization by sight? ”
"Because we've never seen any other form of civilization, we don't know what they're like, so, again, the question, how do you know that our human tech tree is right now?"
"What if it's crooked?"
"What if those correct ways of adding points to the tech tree make those cow B's civilizations far outpace us a long time ago, and then they're watching our jokes?"
"What if, the civilization I'm talking about is the one under the sea?"
"What if, biotechnology and chemical technology are the right way for civilization to develop?"
"Is that possible?"
It's a big topic, but it's not the kind of topic that can be dismissed directly, it's really possible.
For example, I Ching, gossip and even fortune-telling, which we have long regarded as feudal superstition, are vulnerable in the face of the modern scientific system. However, there is a reason why this thing has been passed down for thousands of years. Because these things are ancient science.
Science is the way for human beings to understand the natural world. Hard sciences such as mathematics and physics are modern people's cognitive methods of the natural world, while the Zhou Yi Buddhist scriptures are ancient people's cognitive methods of nature. Although things like the Zhou Yi Buddhist Sutra are very problematic, modern mathematics also has paradoxes, physics also has singularities, chemistry also has unpredictable reactions, and biology also has various randomness and self-organization...... In terms of paradox, modern science is not much better than the ancient ghosts, snakes, and gods.
So is it possible that we have mistakenly established the basic system of modern science since Newton, but we have lost the correct way to develop science, and we are going further and further apathy?
In the end, it has led to the fact that you have not been able to get out of your own planet to see the universe outside? As a result, the Internet VR technology was pointed out, and it gradually rushed towards the road of the Matrix that was intubated in the back of the head and entertained and enjoyed by itself, and it was gone forever?
Duan Qing said these analyses one by one.
"Of course, if it were a world without a tsunami, I would never ask that question."
"It's like an idiot to ask that."
"No normal scientist would believe in this fallacy, and that's as ridiculous as convincing God in evolution."
"But now, the situation is completely different. Our planet has experienced an unprecedented tsunami! Duan Qing said solemnly, "My instrument has detected all kinds of amazing data, and there are all kinds of evidence...... Well, the most direct thing is, how do you explain the group of rabbits we drove away just now? ”
"You can't explain it!"
Therefore, the best way to explain it is not scientific, but cognitive.
"That's 'acceptance.'"
"Accept everything that is happening now, and accept the reality that our human technology may still be very backward or deviated."
"Accept that there is indeed such a powerful undersea civilization, their biochemical technology is far beyond us, to a level that we are completely incomprehensible, and even the rabbits I let out mutate in a short period of time!"
"Therefore, a civilization that has developed to the extreme in biotechnology and chemical technology is the enemy that we humans are going to face."
"That's my guess." Duanqing said, and then she sighed, "Actually, I feel like my guesses are not far from ten, and I don't have much confidence in winning...... The enemy is too strong. ”
Duan Qing really said it for a long time, and said a lot of content, but the theme was very clear. In fact, what happens if humans point to the tech tree, if humans themselves point wrong, and others point right, and now they can crush us, then it is really terrible.
And judging from the current situation, there is a considerable possibility that what Duan Qing said is true.
"And there's a bad possibility that I haven't mentioned yet." She added.
"It's the words 'we humans.'"
"I always feel that the so-called human civilization has reached a point that is more dangerous than the crisis of survival!"
"It's like...... It's like we all say that giant pandas are endangered, but in fact there were more than 2,000 giant pandas in the world before the tsunami, which is quite a lot. But compared with the baiji dolphin, only China has it, and the number may only be more than 50! How would it be to think that there are only 50 or so humans in the world? For example, even worse, the Spix parrot, there is only one in the world! Really, it's one! And it's male! Think about it...... I feel that human civilization is now like this parrot, and it is almost hopeless......"
Xu Liang looked strange and said: "Actually, we humans are fine, there are at least three left, and there are male and female." ”
Duanqing was displeased, and wanted to continue, but Xu Liang interjected again: "You two, yes, it's the two of you." If you two don't change your sexual orientation, then your crimes against humanity will be confirmed! Crimes against humanity, take them seriously! ”
Duan Qing was interrupted again, and stomped her foot angrily: "I...... Where did I just come from? ”
"Crimes against humanity by both of you sisters."
Duan Qing: "No, it's the topic of science just now......
Xu Liang waved his hand to signal her not to speak.
"That's what happened." Xu Liang said, "You talk so much, although it makes a lot of sense, but it's all guesswork." ”
"We've got to get something practical, we're going to do the most practical thing right now, of course, it's not our turn to have a baby for the time being...... The most important thing is to go to the edge of the Eco first! ”
"We're in the center right now, it's so dark here. Who knows what's going on out there? ”
"Is it at the bottom of the sea? Or has something else changed? Has the sea receded? Are Haitians out? ”
"And the one I just said, is there really only one left of human civilization?"
"Gotta go out and see!"
"These questions can only be answered when they reach the edge of the 'Eco'! Then you can think about the things you said. ”
Duan Qing calmed down. Xu Liang didn't tease her, and she wasn't so excited: "Well, I agree with this." I can provide a road map, we are very close to the nearest edge, only 250 meters. If it's a race record, it's less than half a minute. ”
Xu Liang shook his head: "It's not that simple. ”
He pinched the ears of the dead rabbits: "Rabbits can mutate like this, who knows what will happen on this 250-meter road?" ”
"All in all, walk through these 250 meters first, what happens next, and then improvise, why do you want so much? Okay, turn off the lights and go to bed to recharge your energy, and I'm going to run the map tomorrow. ”
