305 Questions
The Tula people made decisions faster than expected, and a day later Lin Youde received a notice to prepare for a meeting with representatives of the Presbyterian Council and Tula's scientific community.
Lin Youde attributed this to his brain partner.
[But you humans have a more efficient way of communicating than brain partners, and the result is still not understanding each other, isn't it, and now there is a civil war.] γ
Lin Youde was speechless.
At that time, the human government forced Chinese characters and Chinese in the new human beings because the information entropy of Chinese was as high as 9.6, while the information entropy of English was only 4, and the efficiency of information transmission was more than twice that of English.
Yes, Chinese is the most complex language in the world, but it is also the most efficient language in the world to convey information. Before entering the cosmic age, the most common argument made by people who were hostile to Chinese was that computers only recognized the computer language composed of English, and you could only write programs in English.
But nanotechnology and direct communication between humans and machines have turned all this upside down, and the computers used by the new humans are very different from those used by the old humans, and the new humans skip the unnecessary link of "operating systems" and directly communicate with the machines - or the new humans themselves are the operating systems of the machines, and the mother tongue of the new humans is the language of the machines.
So the efficiency of the Chinese language is reflected.
What's more, it is too easy for new humans to learn a language, and although it takes a lot of effort to become proficient, the effort invested by new humans to learn a language is negligible.
Therefore, when the replacement of the old and the new was completed, Chinese became the standard lingua franca of the new human society, and only English, the old hegemon, was retained as the last insistence of Western civilization.
The sages who led mankind into the new human era believed that efficient interaction would inevitably lead to mutual understanding, mutual understanding and harmony, and that mankind could finally be freed forever from the plague of civil war.
However, more than 100 years have passed, and there are still sharp antagonisms of different ideas in human society. There are still extremist terrorists, there are resistance forces, there are independence movements, there are guerrillas. It seems that nothing has changed, and the only consolation is that there has not been a major war large enough to involve more than a tenth of the entire human race in more than a hundred years, and that only consolation is now gone.
Humanity has evolved. Stronger, smarter, and more beautiful, but in the bones the human being is still the same human being, and there hasn't been much change.
[But on the contrary,] Noah said to Lin Youde while eating the grilled fish provided by the dolphins, "While the Tula people have evolved materially, their minds have also changed. If you think about their current society, isn't it very close to what you call 'the great harmony of the world'? γ
[I don't think the world is the same thing as the current society of the Tula people. γ
[But you can't tell the difference.] γ
Noah directly monitored Lin Youde's thoughts, which was equivalent to a roundworm in Lin Youde's stomach, and Lin Youde's thoughts were no secret to her.
Now Lin Youde and Freya are also in a similar state, Lin Youde knows what Freya wants, and even Lin Youde knows where she is itching - it seems that Lin Youde's practice of helping Freya "guard the door" has spoiled the princess, and when Freya just got the nanomachine, she was still subconsciously paying attention to the surface thinking, and now it feels like this girl has even given up the control of the surface mind subconsciously.
[I think so. If all of you humans had opened your hearts like Freya, perhaps you would have completed the merging of consciousness into a race with a common consciousness by now. I've seen such races in the past. It's boring to be honest, so I'm going to help its enemies destroy it. γ
[What about not interfering too much? γ
[Principle is principle, mood is mood, different. γ
β¦β¦ That's it, this guy's willfulness Lin Youde has also experienced it himself, and when Noah really blew up a spiral arm in the galaxy, Lin Youde wouldn't be surprised.
[Let's not talk about human things. In short, the Tula people have made a decision, and in the afternoon we will officially enter the negotiations, and the intelligence work will be handed over to you. γ
[Don't worry, that "Sister Lin" is very powerful, I guided her a little and mastered the mystery. After that, I didn't even guide much, but she spied quite a bit of information on her own, and I think she will soon come and give you an inductive report. γ
As soon as Noah said this, Sasara's newsletter came.
"This is the potentially valuable information I've put together so far."
Lin Youde immediately browsed the information, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's really good, have you really only learned these things in our academy?" What do I think of this generalization -- ah, anyway, I haven't seen what a high-ranking intelligence officer's generalization looks like. β
In other words, perhaps after carefully studying the subjects related to information processing in a special college, you should make this level of generalization? Lin Youde was not sure, because this was the first time he had seen the intelligence clues summarized by others, and he usually analyzed them by himself.
Lin Youde immediately shared the information he got with the rest of the team.
Freya didn't speakβHer Royal Highness had been watching the excitement; Hu Tao only praised it, feeling that the first-year students couldn't quite understand what was so good about this induction; Only Lily issued the same praise as Lin Youde: "It's really good, the rigor of this induction, and this format, it looks like someone who has undergone formal information training did it, as far as I know, this is an elective in our college, senior sister, do you have elective courses related to information science?" β
"She did take a lot of courses related to information science," Lin Youde said, "I looked at her course selection schedule when De Niro recommended it, but I really didn't expect to do so well." It's the right thing to bring you. β
"That's the end of the compliment," said Lily, "and there is a lot of useful information in this summary, such as the change in the hours of the Tula scientists, and the adjustment of the hours of use of the laboratory, and I think the Tula people have changed a lot of their scientific research plans." β
Intelligence gathering sometimes does not have to go straight to Huanglong, and some "leftovers" can also obtain quite important information through analysis. The transfer of scientists, the application and approval of leave, the application for the use of the laboratory, the recording of the materials entered by the laboratory, etc., are certainly less confidential than the scientific research plan itself, and it is easier to collect. For example, personnel changes and leave for scientists can be obtained through the scientists' families and even neighbors.
Therefore, the most important job of those who are engaged in intelligence gathering is to remove the chaff from the vast ocean of information, identify the important scraps, and then combine the numerous scraps together for analysis.
In the present time of full computerization. Humanity can be said to be the fourth strongest in the Galactic Council in terms of intelligence processing speed, and this must be utilized.
"In other words, the Tula people are ready to analyze the suddenly 'activated' super-civilization cube," Lily's message was sent at the same time as the person also appeared in Lin Youde's field of vision, but her expression looked full of suspicion. "But do they break the contract after they've done it? After all, this is a super-civilization relic, and it was given to the Latu people before because it was useless to hold it, but now that this thing is opened and can be studied, will the Tula people still let it go? β
"Then we have to look at the negotiation of the meeting." Lin Youde shrugged.
At least from the information summarized so far, the Tula people did not intend to trap them - not only did the information that Sasara analyze and summarize to support this thesis, but Noah's own information that could not be disclosed casually also showed that the Tula did not intend to trap them.
But there is still the possibility of being pitted.
In addition, Noah also discovered another interesting thing, the network of the Tulas. There is absolutely no information that the Tula possess another super-civilized relic, the Heart of Tula.
[But I can feel that the heart of Tula is beneath the city.] γ
β¦β¦ So, the reason why the Tula people kept the capital, which had no mines to mine, still functional, instead of shutting down when there were no mines like other Tula cities in the deep sea, was because there were super-civilization relics here?
Also, maybe the Heart of Tula is a super-civilized relic that is not easy to move.
This also explains why the Latu people who asked for half of the Tula territory when the lion opened their mouth to ask for half of the Tula territory would be willing to ask for a useless product, and probably the Latu people also knew that the heart of Tula could not move.
"You're interested in that relic? It's just a toy made by baby civilization. γ
Lin Youde pursed his lips.
Just then, the Tula, who had come to greet them at the meeting, arrived.

There are no tables or chairs in the Great Council of the Tula people. It's just a big water balloon, and there's still a layer of glass on the outside.
The Tula man, who was called the No. 2 elder by Lin Youde, also explained to him: "Originally, we didn't have such a thing as a council hall at all, and everyone swam around a certain person when they were deliberating, but after we transformed into a tool civilization, we built a council hall." Unlike you humans, we learned to make glass very early. You see, just take the semi-solidified magma flowing underneath and process it, and then manipulate the flow of water to make it shape, and it becomes the original building material owned by the Tula people. β
Elder No. 2 said this, and Lin Youde remembered the questions he had when he read Tula's history.
"How did you turn into a tool civilization?" He asked.
Most of the civilizations in the galaxy are instrumental civilizations - civilizations that start with the use of tools and evolve intellectually. Only a small part of it is the so-called natural civilization. That is, a civilization that develops intelligence and culture through the original power of the body given by nature.
Three of the Ten Civilizations of the Galactic Council are Physical: the Zouka, Oldwell, and Hyperion.
Hyperion is a plant with neurons, which originally had no intelligence, but later they were connected to each other by rhizomes throughout the planet in natural evolution, and then consciousness was born in a giant array of neurons connected in parallel.
Hyperion used his wisdom to convince the first Haydn to encounter it, and many races believe that it was Hyperion who made the Haydn determined to establish the Galactic Council.
As the only civilization in the galaxy that does not expand and has no cosmic force, Hyperion ranks among the Big Ten with his ever-expanding wisdom, and forms the system of judges of the Galactic Council with the impartial and selfless Oldwells who only respect the facts (not to mention the Iralai people who play soy sauce).
