Chapter 151: Evolution - Eternal Dream
This time, no scientists went up to give speeches, it was the UN Secretary-General who spoke personally; But there are several scientists behind him who are ready to offer advice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, 3.5 billion years ago, life began to emerge and evolve on Earth. We are fortunate that the solar system has been stable for more than 4 billion years, allowing life to grow to this day.
It was 3.5 billion years before we came. It was a difficult evolutionary path, and life used their bodies to transform the Earth. The karst landscape is actually the corpse of countless ancient creatures who solidified carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into calcium carbonate and released oxygen, turning a Venus into what it is today.
500 million years ago, paleontology completed its most glorious bloom, and they dyed the whole earth red! It was iron oxidized by [oxygen], and the Earth at that time was like Mars now, but it was full of life.
That is, 500 million years ago, for the first time, life really embarked on the unknown world - land!
After hundreds of millions of attempts and countless failures, life conquered the earth and clothed it in green.
Now, we have reached a new era, and history has completed a cycle after 500 million years - we have come to the same crossroads.
The difference is: 500 million years ago, life landed on land; And now, we need to move from land to space.
But this road is not easy to walk, and it is still an evolutionary road that is destined to be difficult, full of struggle, and requires countless blood and tears, just like 500 million years ago.
In the face of this new evolutionary path, we have been confused, we have had research on cyborgs, cyborgs, cyborgs, etc., but we have all failed.
The history of evolution in the past, and even the experience of many extraterrestrial civilizations, tells us that evolution can tolerate mistakes, but not shortcuts.
After more than 100 years of reflection, we have come to realize that science must bow to civilization and morality and conscience. Only science and technology that is allowed by morality and civilization are real science and technology, and advanced technology. Technology that exceeds the limits of morality and civilization, no matter how prosperous, can only end up self-destructive.
The solar system chose the Earth, the Earth chose us, and we ...... Choose ourselves! That's – people-oriented!
Perhaps the universe is inclusive, while intelligent life is selfish.
Of course, we also face many, many problems......"
Then there are the problems that today's civilization on Earth, and even many civilizations, are facing in the process of evolving into space.
The biggest problem is that our bodies are "disconnected" from our intelligence; When our intelligence can touch the starry sky, our body and physiology cannot adapt to the environment of space.
Take, for example, the average healthy person. Even in today's technological environment, no matter what costs to transform the living environment in space, ordinary people can only stay in space for ten years at most; This includes the use of artificial gravity technology. In fact, the artificial gravity developed by the earth's civilization is not physical gravity in the full sense.
Gravity in the natural environment is a kind of "appearance" caused by supermassive mass to distort space-time, which is a kind of change involving the quantum level.
However, the gravity technology mastered by the earth's civilization today is to "camouflage" gravity, using electromagnetic field technology to interfere with the magnetic field of life, and then cause corresponding changes. Causing living beings to feel a similar gravitational force - not really gravity yet. This gravity environment is good for exercise, but not for survival.
This "camouflage gravity" can deceive the body for a short time, allowing the body to continue to maintain its original state; But after a long time, of course, the problem will be exposed. From a natural point of view. Camouflage gravity is counterfeit and shoddy products.
After a long period of experimentation by ordinary people, scientists have finally discovered:
In a space environment where there is no 'true gravity', spending a year in space will reduce the "strength" of the bones by 15%.
Five years later. Speaking loudly can shatter your jaw bone; The brain is visibly atrophied and the nervous system is weakened. Oh, and that's a great way to lose weight. It can be reduced to brain damage!
If you are an evolutionary such as an Iron Warrior, you can avoid a certain amount of damage, but you still can't avoid it completely. Only the Silver Warrior can initially avoid these hazards, but there must also be a certain amount of technology to ensure the quality of life in space.
Only the level of the Golden Warrior or above can truly adapt to the space environment - only a little technological support is required. After reaching the Golden Warrior, he can be called a true "evolutionary", and his life enters another peak.
And this is the current path of evolution, and it is also the path of evolution that is widely accepted by interstellar civilizations. And the mecha is the most important "auxiliary tool" in this evolutionary path; It can be said that mecha is a tool of evolution, not a tool of war - of course, human character determines that good things must be used in the military first.
Qin Fei, Zhang Jianfeng and other students concentrated; Because Qin Fei found that this passage was not for experts, but for them! In other words, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the top experts of the earth's civilization are teaching Qin Fei and other future generations!
It was a very precious experience. Obviously, Qin Fei and these people are the generation that has been endowed with hope and responsibility!
Because of the wrong choice of evolutionary path, such as cyborgs, such as cyborgs, many civilizations have been destroyed without even stepping out of the planet. These materials are distributed free of charge in the Mecha Association, and of course, the materials distributed for free are tens of thousands of words, the purpose of which is to make every civilization that has walked through ignorance and into the starry sky take warning.
"Since the dawn of life, there has been no cessation of evolution; Not before, not again! Evolution tolerates mistakes, but it tolerates opportunism. ”
At night, Qin Fei chewed on this sentence repeatedly.
Zhang Jianfeng sat next to Qin Fei, and his tone was a little emotional: "Evolution is also a road that sails against the current, and opportunism can only lead to self-destruction. ”
Qin Fei glanced at Zhang Jianfeng, this guy still remembers what happened in the afternoon. Red Eagle Technology Group is also famous, but it is famous by relying on "self-determination".
The last day finally came, and the scientists, after a night's rest, were "happy" again, putting all the crises behind for the time being and enjoying themselves. This time it has solved the two major problems of global warming and super volcanoes, which has already excited many people.
In the afternoon, the Black Wind * Longbow * Thirteen of the Dragon War Civilization came to the forum again, and after announcing a series of good news, he finally asked the topic that remained, an ultimate question: What is the ultimate road to intelligent life?
Scientists have left this opportunity to future generations.
"Dreams!" This time, Zhang Jianfeng stood up bravely, "a pursuit that has never stopped since the birth of civilization - dreams." ”
"God, we are to truly pursue God's footsteps." A young Western man who had read too much of the Bible replied.
"Prophet." This is the Koran believers.
"Eternal life!" This is the idealist's answer.
"Discover the secrets of the universe!" Typical scientific thinking.
The answers were seldom repeated, but Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen didn't say anything - indicating that the Starlight Warrior was not satisfied. Also, Black Wind * Longbow * Thirteen, as a starlight-level warrior of a high-level civilization, I don't know how many answers I have been exposed to.
This is an ultimate question, one that can be said to be one for which there is no "right" answer; But there can be an answer that is "close to perfect", or "the most widely recognized" answer!
When Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen began to shake his head, Qin Fei stood up.
All eyes looked at Qin Fei, with expectation, envy, and jealousy.
"Free!"
"Huh......" Black Wind * Longbow * Thirteen suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Qin Fei, the three eyes looked a little weird.
Then Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen had no more representations.
Then there were other answers, answers to what was freedom, what was detachment, what bliss, and so on.
When the students behind began to show repeated answers, Black Wind *Longbow*Thirteen finally ended the wait; "In the Mecha Association, the answer with the highest demand at the moment is ......"
Everyone's ears are up!
"That's it: dreams!"
Zhang Jianfeng suddenly laughed, and many people who answered their dreams laughed.
"But......" As soon as this hateful "but" came out, it suddenly lifted the hearts of countless people.
Black Wind *Longbow* Thirteen finally slowly spat out the last words: "But I personally prefer the answer 'freedom'!" (To be continued.) )
