Chapter 141: Voices of Civilization
(Everyone says that science fiction is going to have some brains, and that's all for today.) )
"Hey, would you like to try it?" A man who was only wearing a swimsuit and a warm coat walked towards Qin Fei, his Chinese a little stiff. Behind this person, there are many Western young men and women, all of whom are dressed in the same way.
Qin Fei looked at it, a Westerner, similar in age to himself, with a little ...... in his eyes Provocation?
Replying with a 'you have a sick brain' look, Qin Fei immediately turned around and left. Even if I wanted to, I didn't have a swimsuit - don't think I don't know, your swimsuit has a strong warmth effect and can maintain the temperature of the torso; Otherwise, what kind of full-body swimsuit do you wear as a big man, it's not a shame.
But how did Qin Fei think that this bastard knew him?
Seeing that Qin Fei was not fooled, the young man in the West left with a whistle and walked towards the beach with his companions.
"Hi, Qin Fei." A familiar voice came, Milia wrapped in a ball of cotton. Chris Vir drove slowly in a large snow truck, "Why don't you try it, come to Antarctica for a swim, I have a spare swimsuit here." ”
"No, I'm not going to leave my country." Qin Fei threw down a sentence and slowly walked towards the forum station.
Milia looked at Qin Fei's back and suddenly shouted, "I know a little bit of the clue from the last assassination!" ”
"No, you don't!" Qin Fei left without looking back.
"You belong to a donkey!" Finally, Miria couldn't help it anymore and shouted fiercely at Qin Fei's back.
"I'm sorry, to correct it, there is no attribute of 'donkey' in the Chinese zodiac." Qin Fei's voice came from afar, but the person was already getting farther and farther away.
Miria. Chriswell immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, I'm on a par with you!" ”
Back at the Ice Sculpture Hotel where the forum was located, Qin Fei immediately regretted it, he was pulled out as soon as he came back here; To be exact, all the assistants need to help set up the scene, mainly when it comes to some technology. It's just a simple scientific equipment placement and commissioning. You don't need a scientist to do it. Of course, I can learn a lot in the process, which can be regarded as a comfort.
In the evening, the cold wind howled more violently; November. The South Pole already has a polar day, but the Antarctic Peninsula is only a relatively short night. In the howling cold wind, all the personnel involved in the work enjoyed a brain-dead barbecue against the cold wind - eating seafood barbecue in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius and blowing a colder sea breeze. There are also some penguins who come over to join in the fun.
At night, the entire ground of the Antarctic is about three meters high, and it is all foggy ice crystals, and the sky and the earth are foggy. The cold wind blowing on the body is really an indescribable "enjoyment". In this extremely cold place, I felt the scorching pain; Qin Fei finally felt the cold.
The next morning, Qin Fei and Zhang Jianfeng finally busily helped Gu Qingyan make arrangements, and the two sat behind Gu Qingyan, at the front of the forum.
There were more than 5,000 people at the forum, and the entire ice sculpture hotel had to be set up through a virtual network. The main venue consisted only of scientists and assistants, with no more than 500 people in total. Being able to squeeze in the main venue, Qin Fei was already very satisfied.
First up was the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The UN Secretary-General, who is already in his old age and comes from Southeast Asia, speaks slowly but forcefully:
In this era, we have two most pressing issues: one is man and the universe, and one is man and technology.
First of all, man and the universe, there is no doubt that we are in an era of second evolution; Our goal is clear. Strive to one day be able to live in the universe as easily and freely as if you were living on the ground.
This is not only our pursuit, but also the pursuit of many advanced civilizations. In order to achieve this, we are crazy about developing technology, because there is no other way for us to go but technology.
This leads to the second question, which is people and technology.
What is technology? Some people say that technology is our future and everything, and some people say that technology is just our tool and an extension of our wisdom; However, there are also those who believe that if we want to survive in the universe, we must give up our fragile flesh @ body and transplant our consciousness to machines instead, so as to achieve eternal life.
These questions have been explored for thousands of years. We've been thinking since humans could think, and we're still thinking today.
And now, with the development of technology, we have found many, many problems. This makes us have to ask ourselves, are we doing something wrong and not good enough? Are we on the wrong foot? Lost in the way? Technology is powerful, but can we truly and fully harness this power?
From the beginning of human beings recording their daily life with clumsy hands on the rock wall with simple graphics, to the creation of a brilliant civilization, and then through the medieval darkness of religion and **, we have finally ushered in the dawn of science. But the power of technology has left us confused. We discovered the power of the sun, but we used it to make a hydrogen bomb, and even nearly pushed the earth's civilization to the brink of destruction several times.
The fundamental purpose of the decent-year Forum for Life is to explore and discuss our future. The forum was held in Antarctica this year, also to focus on the issue of global warming today.
Before the forum begins, let's welcome a distinguished guest from a high-level civilization, the thirteenth elder of the Mecha Association: Black Wind * Longbow * Thirteen, a powerhouse from the peak of the S-class and starlight level of the Dragon War civilization. Let's welcome.
A VIP from a high civilization? A powerhouse at the pinnacle of the S-class?
Not to mention others, even Qin Fei was curious. There has always been a saying, or "legend", that the earth civilization also has its own S-level masters, who are strong people who protect the earth, but they have never shown up; Anyway, the most masters I usually see are A-level golden warriors.
In the midst of applause, a 2.5-meter-tall iron tower walked in, bald-headed, earthling-like face, three-eyed, dark copper-colored skin with metallic luster, but four fingers. However, this is one of the few starry sky civilizations that conforms to the aesthetic view of the earth's civilization.
However, Qin Fei keenly discovered that this so-called master actually breathed the air of the earth directly!
"Hello everyone." This black wind * longbow * thirteen spoke one by one in the working language prescribed by the United Nations, causing countless applause. A simple sentence shows respect for the civilization of the earth, which is why everyone is excited.
Then Black Wind * Longbow * Thirteen spoke with a translator:
"It is a pleasure to be here in the birthplace of civilization on Earth and to have the privilege of participating in the once-in-a-decade Forum for Life. I have come to Earth this time for something else, to announce here first.
After a long discussion with the Mecha Association and consultations with representatives of the countries of the Earth Civilization, from today onwards, I will be the honorary president of the Earth Civilization Mecha Branch. In addition, the Olympic spirit of the earth's civilization. Let the association be very appreciative. After consultations, we are preparing to hold the first Pan-Star Civilization Olympics on the 'Raptors' of the Earth's civilization in five years' time. At that time, we kindly ask Earth Civilization to set up a special Olympic department to deal with related matters. ”
Whoa...... This was really a surprise, and everyone was surprised and excited. Even Qin Fei and Zhang Jianfeng clapped their hands fiercely in celebration.
The fierce applause lasted for a long, long time, and even Qin Fei clapped until his hands were hot before stopping.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen continued to speak: "I accidentally encountered this life forum, and I was cheeky to participate. By the way, I will also talk about some of the past and experience of our dragon war civilization.
As we all know, the Dragon War civilization is an advanced civilization. According to the time calculation of the earth's civilization, we have already begun to explore the starry sky tens of millions of years ago. In order to compete for the starry sky, we have even had tragic interstellar wars with other advanced civilizations, and we have even destroyed stars.
But when the war lasted for thousands of years, we had to stop the war, because we finally found that the long war had exhausted us, and even civilization itself began to face the danger of extinction. At its peak. There are even more than a dozen high-level civilizations involved, and it is a tragic history that cannot be reviewed. Broken planets, chaotic starry skies that don't need to be needed, that's the ultimate harvest; Today, the starry sky there has not fully recovered.
After the war, we sat down together and discussed, discussing war, discussing science and technology, and discussing development; And this discussion gave birth to the current Mecha Association. This mecha association is like the United Nations of the earth's civilization!
In the end, we found out that in the vast starry sky, war is stupid. Together, we can open up a wider space for outer galaxies.
After we think, in the universe. Intelligent life is precious, and we believe that the unconscious material universe has evolved intelligent life that can think, and then developed non-material civilization, culture and wisdom, which is the most brilliant and greatest pearl of the universe. This is the world's greatest gift to us!
Through the ignorance, through the darkness, through the war of blood and fire. That's why we are and what we are now.
After learning from the painful experience, we have finally discovered and gained a unified understanding: in the universe, our greatest pursuit should not be war, but civilization and evolution.
The ignorant universe has evolved into an intelligent us. So what should we do with wisdom?
Do you want to use this greatest wisdom to kill? For war?
Do we spend tens, decades, or even centuries cultivating a talent just to send him to the damned battlefield?
No, we can't apply our wisdom in this way, it's blasphemy against wisdom! It is also the biggest challenge to morality!
We should use wisdom in the right direction, at least not in the wrong direction!
Finally, after a thousand years, the Mecha Association was born, which was originally called the 'Pan-Universe Intelligent Life and Technological Evolution Joint Society', mainly to put forward the concept of 'second evolution' and the concept of the times that are now prevalent in the universe. Later, with the changes, development and improvement of various aspects, we finally locked down the mecha technology.
The core concept of the association is to take (human) intelligent life as the foundation, arm the power of science and technology to the body of intelligent life, take into account the triple development of intelligent life, technology and morality, and finally promote intelligent life to a higher level. Mecha was developed vigorously as a tool and the best means to promote the evolution of life.
Later, the system continued to improve, and the concept of evolutionary slowly appeared, and the hierarchical division of iron warriors, silver warriors, gold warriors, and starlight warriors appeared, and the name of the entire association was finally named after the Mecha Association. The name 'Mecha Association' means that the association will develop independently, no longer be restricted by any advanced civilization, and gradually build the Mecha Association into a paradise for intelligent life and a cultural exchange center, a center of equal exchange.
Today, we are proud that the Mecha Association has made a great contribution to the peace and common development of the universe. Although there are still many problems, it is at least clear that the Mecha Association has been successful and has made an important contribution to the progress of all of us together.
There are four strong forces in the universe, strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force, so the universe can develop in an orderly manner.
As intelligent beings, we also have four powers, namely: civilization, dreams, morality, and technology.
Your Earth civilization is fortunate that you can explore the universe without fear of a war that will destroy your civilization, because we cannot tolerate a recurrence of catastrophe. Today, in the galaxy, at least within the reach of the Mecha Association, catastrophic wars are no longer tolerated, and only local wars are tolerated.
But you are also unfortunate that competition exists in every corner of the universe, there is competition in the stars, in the universe, there is competition in animals, and there is no shortage of competition as intelligent life. Today, the greatest competition is that of civilization and culture. I have seen failed civilizations where people are alive, but their culture and soul have been destroyed.
This is the situation that your Earth civilization is facing today.
But congratulations to you, the first interstellar Olympics will begin in five years. All invitations and space transportation problems will be solved by the Mecha Association, and the Earth civilization will only need to work out the rest. ”
Whoa...... The applause rang out, and the applause even pierced through the ice sculpture hotel, echoing above the South Pole.
After another full three minutes of applause, Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen finally spoke for the third time, "Since this is the Life Forum, then I also brought an ultimate question from the Mecha Association for everyone to think about. The question is: What is the ultimate path to intelligent life?
There has been a lot of speculation within the Mecha Association, but there has been no answer that convinces all civilizations. Ten days later, the forum will end, please give me a moment to discuss this ultimate question as one. ”
Black Wind *Longbow* Thirteen departed amid applause; Just came to Earth and was awarded the honorary vice president of the Earth Civilization Mecha Association Branch, there are still many things to deal with.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations returned to the stage and, in a joyous atmosphere, announced that the forum would continue as usual. (To be continued.) )
