"What does he mean?" Yang Jianhua restrained his strange expression and frowned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Yang didn't respond, Guo Ning, who was spread out on the hospital bed, suddenly came out of nowhere with a lot of strength, stood up under the surprised gaze of a group of doctors and nurses, and pounced on Zhou Yang's arm with the dripping blood coming out of the back of his head, and was dragged away by the nurse with a hissing shout with round eyes:

"Nope! There's still a chance! Qin Ye! Police officer! Can't let them find Qin Ye! Definitely not! "Who is Qin Ye?" Zhou Yang asked subconsciously.

Yang Jianhua glanced around, didn't answer, just patted Zhou Yang's shoulder, left a meaningful look, and followed the bed pushed away into the emergency room.

Zhou Yang silently understood that the case and his connection might end here, and he didn't need to care about this issue anymore.

When he received the evacuation notice a day later, Zhou Yang felt quite lost.

It is undoubtedly a pity that he failed to participate in the investigation of this strange case, in many years of police experience, Zhou Yang has learned to adjust this obsessive-compulsive paranoia, he knows that at this time he should devote himself to a new job as soon as possible to divert his attention, but when he returned to the criminal police branch, he was surprised to find that perhaps because he entered a period of low crime, the cases filed by the branch have a person in charge, and the hero is useless for a while, while waiting for other branches to reply to the application, he looked for a psychological counselor according to his usual experience, After some mental counseling work, Zhou Yang felt that it was not effective, and until that night, he was still thinking about the sentence "They succeeded, and the human race is going extinct." "It proves that the Force's psychological counseling and counseling efforts are useless.

At first glance, it seems to be alarmist, but according to Zhou Yang's usual experience, if this kind of testimony appears as a clue, it will definitely be related to certain cults or certain branches of Orthodox Christianity, and a series of vendettas will be further pulled out -- Zhou Yang has always hated this kind of unreasonable case, and the thinking of these followers is often very different from ordinary people, and he likes to solve cases, but he never likes to deal with people with mental problems from time to time.

But will this case be a cult case?

Zhou Yang remembered the strange murder weapon full of high technology.

He has also seen some oblique sect cases, mysterious sect rituals that are mysterious and completely different from ordinary people's logical circuits, and has appreciated many strange and mysterious beliefs in the East and West with thinking circuits that are completely different from those in the normal world, but it is very rare for such high-tech objects to be linked to cult cases.

As a criminal investigator, after Zhou Yang learned that Guo Ning was the victim of the case, he immediately tried his best to collect all the information about Guo Ning. All this is enough for Zhou Yang to make a judgment on Guo Ning's character.

It seems impossible for such a person who is serious in his studies, who is one-size-fits-all, who has no superstitious thoughts, who is indifferent but has a mild temperament, who has a strange mind, who has a relationship with a cult organization with strange thinking.

Although there are some cases that prove that people with high education and high IQ will also be bewitched by superstitious and heretical thoughts, but statistics show that this is a small probability event, similar to Guo Ning, the first few victims are all high-IQ and high-educated people with similar characteristics, which makes Zhou Yang have a negative idea about his past experience, and it can't be that so many highly educated people are bewitched by heretical thoughts. However, this is even more unreliable, because denying the possibility of the cult case means that Guo Ning, who said this, really thinks that 'mankind is going to be extinct'.

When people are mentally confused and out of control, it is often easier to tell the secret information hidden at the bottom of their consciousness, no matter how ridiculous the information may seem to others, and the person who confides in it believes it to be true.

What makes such a highly intelligent and highly educated person firmly believe that 'humanity is going extinct'? Zhou Yang even had some doubts about whether the first six victims who failed to rescue them in the first time also had similar thoughts to Guo Ning.

Who are 'they'? Who was Qin Ye that Guo Ning was thinking about when he was half dead?

Patting his head, Zhou Yang found himself once again in a state of handling a case, such a state of mind is obviously inappropriate for a case that is out of hand, he took a deep breath, and when he didn't know what to do, the door clicked open, and a young man two or three years younger than Zhou Yang walked in.

The young man wore a pair of eyes, a white half-sleeved shirt, and a quiet temperament, and when he saw Zhou Yang in the room, his expression was stunned: "Detective, are you back?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Yang nodded, glanced at the visitor, and turned his gaze to the side with some absent-mindedness.

The young man's name is Dai Xiaojun, Zhou Yang's roommate who has been sharing a house for a year, doing academic research at a university in Beijing, and his expression is unhappy at the moment, obviously arguing with his colleagues on academic issues.

"You're arguing with your colleague again?"

In the confusion of his thoughts, Zhou Yang thought of using small talk to divert his attention.

Dai Xiaojun returned from studying abroad, studying anthropology abroad, out of the relationship between domestic discipline classification, this discipline is rarely opened by universities in China, and some of the research of anthropology in the humanities is generally attached to archaeology and sociology, and there are considerable differences in research methods and ideas at home and abroad in this research, although the country is increasingly in line with international standards, but foreign monks such as Dai Xiaojun still have conflicts from time to time when discussing problems with their domestic counterparts.

And this year's getting along made Zhou Yang understand that this roommate is a very serious person, and his temper is not as good as it seems. That kid is actually talking nonsense, Lao Zhou, you don't know, I have studied anthropology abroad for eight years, and I have been doing research for two years, and I have seen a lot of strange ideas abroad, but I have never heard of such unreasonable today. I've seen it. ”

"How?" Zhou Yang, who was originally talking to divert his attention, became interested, and was able to make Dai Xiaojun, who had a good temper, like this, which shows how heretical this kind of academic thought that conflicts with him is.

"How so? Today in the professional group (QQ) with a little boy discussion, guess what he said during the discussion? He said that human evolution is close to the culmination of physiology and will soon enter a stage of degradation. ”

Zhou Yang is a little interested, the theory of evolution is not new, but the theory of degradation is the first time I have heard of it, and it is really fresh.

He said at length that the increase in the rate of use of machinery in human life is actually the process of continuous degradation of human physical and intellectual conditions, although in recent centuries due to the maturity of technical conditions, human health conditions have improved, but in essence it is an illusion, and the overall trend of human physique is degraded and weakened. In the face of industrialization, the space for manual labor is in a state of squeezing, which will inevitably lead to the weakening of human physique; The same is true for intelligence, for example, mathematicians centuries ago could mentally calculate the orbits of the planets, and Chinese scholars in the sixties could use abacus to calculate the parameters of nuclear weapons, but now with a PC, how many more will be able to calculate three digits and four rules orally in another ten years? According to the principle of use-in-use-and-waste-out, degradation is obvious. ”

"It sounds like there's some truth." Zhou Yang couldn't help but bow his head when he heard this.

"It just sounds reasonable." Dai Xiaojun laughed: "Lao Zhou, you don't know, some theories in the academic world are things that sound very reasonable but actually don't make sense. Things that seem to be self-justifying are often very questionable, for example, the typology is still being used to analyze the relics unearthed from the paleolithic tools in China, but how much is it scientific, and can it stand up to scrutiny? It's all problematic. ”

"First of all, the evolution of human beings is based on the living environment, and in different living environments, the direction of human evolution will be freely adjusted to be more suitable for the environment, so the theory of degradation itself is not valid, and I believe that according to the development of technical conditions, human beings will definitely find a new evolutionary path."

"There may be some truth in what he said about the deterioration of the physique, and I can't refute it, but I absolutely disagree with the evolution of intellectual conditions to the limit, the evolution of the brain depends on the information environment that is exposed to it, I think there are fewer places for people to perform mechanical calculations now, but the number of logical operations is increasing, and it is more complex, and the information exposed to is far more than in ancient times, how can it be degraded? But this kid has something to say here, he said that human beings will one day be able to develop a machine to replace these things, don't you say this is a pole? ”

"Why do you say it's a bar?" Zhou Yang listened with great interest, and he felt that this argument was very logical.

"Let me tell you Lao Zhou, this kind of thinking is very dangerous! It's not that humans can't, but they can't study that kind of machine. ”

"Why?"

"Humans are now just giving the function of computation to machines, which is nothing, after all, in quite a few fields, arithmetic is just a tool. However, if all the tasks of logical thinking and information processing are left to machines, it will be a big problem.

-- This means that human beings have given up the subjective initiative of thinking and completely surrendered control over society to machines, and in this way, human civilization will be finished! How can you say that humans would do such stupid things? ”

Zhou Yang touched his chin.

"So that kid is pure. He also mathematically modeled, and proved that if there is a bird to use, the root will be forked, and I educate him that he is still not convinced, saying that sooner or later human beings will embark on this path! If one day humanity is lazy to that point, let humanity perish. ”

"Speaking of which, that kid himself is also unreliable, and after joining the group, he often claims that he has been dreaming exactly the same for a few days, and what he says is still the same."

"How?"

"He said that every night he would dream that he was wandering alone in an empty prairie, there was no sea or jungle on the whole planet, and it only took three days to surround a week, I didn't understand, how could a dream be done for three days in a row, and the plots were all connected?"

"According to me, that kid is either talking nonsense, or he has paranoia, don't say it, in the past ten years, there have been more and more teenagers addicted to the Internet, not only in China, but also in foreign countries because of paranoia all day long on the Internet, I have seen it abroad, cough, one by one and neurosis."

Listening to Dai Xiaojun's nagging, Zhou Yang's heart suddenly moved: "Xiao Dai, you say, will human beings really become extinct?" ”

"Extermination?" Dai Xiaojun, who asked this question, was also stunned: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Let's explore the possibilities."

"This ......" Dai Xiaojun pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "From the perspective of life evolution and philosophy, all living things will become extinct, and intellectually I think that human beings are not surprised. ”

"But if you look closely, this statement is very debatable."

Dai Xiaojun's eyebrows were deep, and he seemed to be thinking seriously about this problem: "Extinction refers to the loss of the ability of organisms to reproduce in the natural environment until the last individual perishes, but the current technological means of human beings and the ability to control the earth's resources are not very likely." ”

"Is it possible that it will be like the Yucatan Peninsula meteorite, because of a sudden and unexpected disaster that caused a large-scale extinction of the human race?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"It's possible what you said, but the United Nations has deployed a dangerous asteroid warning center, with the current level of human technology, a small planetary collision can be blasted or changed orbit with a high-energy weapon, if it is a 10-kilometer or even larger planet like the Yucatan meteorite impacting the earth, maybe the explosion will not help, but this impact can be predicted a long time in advance. This raises the question: with the current technological capabilities of humanity, can an impact of that magnitude really wipe us out? ”

"But the dinosaurs became extinct that year."

"We're not like dinosaurs." Dai Xiaojun said: "Assuming that it was indeed the meteorite that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, then the process is roughly like this:

The extremely high heat energy generated by the meteorite impact did not lead to the extinction of all dinosaurs - even if the heat radiation was so intense, it at best led to the mass death of dinosaurs in the area of impact.

The fatal is the geological disasters caused by kinetic energy shocks - tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, the waves set off by kinetic energy are thousands of meters high, sweeping the land several times back and forth, meteorites penetrate the earth's crust and cause a large amount of harmful gases and smoke in the center of the earth to gush out, as the shock wave covers the whole world, the duration of darkness is calculated in years, a large number of species are suffocated and poisoned, and plants lose photosynthesis and cause the collapse of the food chain, which is a cause that may lead to the mass extinction of the Mesozoic. ”

Dai Xiaojun finished narrating and said: "Let's put it this way, Lao Zhou, a catastrophe at this level may indeed lead to a large number of extinction of human beings on a global scale, but do you think it can really completely wipe out human beings?" ”

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment and shook his head, feeling that this question was really hard to say.

"We can go to the sky and the earth ourselves, and when the time comes, we can build shelters or deep-sea submarines, let the rich go in and take refuge, even if tens of billions of people die, there will always be people who can survive, only a few thousand healthy individuals and enough technology, and then come out after the disaster, enough for human beings to reoccupy the world in a few centuries."

"Why is it that the money goes in?"

"Isn't that how 2012 works?" Dai Xiaojun rolled his eyes: "In short, this kind of large-scale disaster is a small probability event, and the possibility of real extinction of human beings is not great, you say other possibilities, such as the sun becoming a red giant, or a supergiant celestial body destroying the earth or something, then no one has a problem, unless we rush out of the solar system to the Milky Way, otherwise it will be wiped out, but in the short term, I always think it is unrealistic to let human beings go extinct." For example, if you say that a meteorite impact may wipe out humanity, there are other possibilities, such as genetic weapons, nuclear explosions, viruses, etc., but I still believe that human beings, a species born from cruel natural selection and internal competition, will not necessarily be completely extinct in this level of disaster. ”

"You're optimistic." Zhou Yang smiled and became serious again, "Then what could be the reason for a scientific researcher with deep academic skills to think that human beings are going extinct?" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Are aliens going to invade Earth? No kidding, the universe is so big, if aliens had such thoughts, they would have done it to us a long time ago, hehe. Dai Xiaojun laughed: "Which scientist said that?" That's interesting. ”
