278 Two civilizations

"It's a long story." Pioneer 4 also has a rigid side, "I believe that human beings are very familiar with the concept of intelligent robots, and our form is similar to what you call intelligent robots. ”

"What's the difference?" Ke Long suddenly asked the point.

Pioneer Four said with some amazement: "Well, in your concept, the ultimate goal of intelligent robots is to age and die like natural life, and we are still very imperfect, and can only reach the level of generating feelings. ”

"Yes, yes? It doesn't matter, we humans haven't been able to create intelligent robots until now, and we're far worse than you, so let's get down to business. Ke Long frowned, and said in his heart that this is all messy, and he is still old and dead, is it that two robots sleep together, and they also want to give birth to a little robot?

"Okay, let's start at the beginning." "In the vast universe, planets with water and the right temperature have the potential to produce life, and most planets with the right conditions will eventually produce life, but the length of time it takes is different." ”

"Understood." Ke Long interjected at the right time.

"After the emergence of the first life, as long as the planet's environment does not undergo devastating changes, life will continue to evolve, slowly transitioning from lower life to higher life until there is intelligent life capable of ruling the planet." Pioneer 4 said in an affectionate tone, as if reciting, "Only a very small number of planets can evolve intelligent life, and intelligent life can evolve to a certain extent, it can be called civilization." ”

Everyone in the command had a strange feeling - it was a strange feeling to be educated by intelligent robots.

"The emergence of civilization is only the first step, and intelligent life still needs to constantly evolve and improve itself. There are two kinds of civilizations that we know, or the mainstream civilization of the galaxy, one is the biotechnology civilization that evolved from ordinary planetary creatures like the Outer Bone Man, and this civilization requires intelligent beings to have enough time to evolve. Most civilizations that have entered the age of the universe fall into this category. ”

"The other is a technological civilization like human beings, and like the evolutionary history of human beings, technological civilization requires individuals with superior intelligence to constantly promote the development of technology, and the main elements that make up the planet must be comprehensive...... More importantly, the scientific and technological civilization must enter the cosmic age before the planet's limited resources are exhausted, otherwise the scientific and technological civilization with depleted resources will only have the path of degradation......"

Most people, including Ke Long, broke out in a cold sweat, human beings are just in time to enter the cosmic age when the world's resources are about to be exhausted, according to the fourth pioneer, if China failed to implement the space strategy and enter the cosmic age first, maybe today's human beings have degraded back to the Middle Ages.

"The higher the level of technology and technology of scientific and technological civilization, the more resources will be consumed, so only a very small number of scientific and technological civilizations can finally enter the cosmic age, think about you human beings, from the original civilization to the present, it only took more than 5,000 earth years, such a short time, in the evolutionary history of biological civilization is only a short moment."

Ke Long suddenly realized: "You are saying that the biological cosmic civilization needs a long evolution time, but there are few restrictions; There are many restrictions on the emergence of scientific and technological cosmic civilizations, but the development speed of civilization is very fast! ”

"Exactly." Pioneer 4 said, "But this is only part of the difference, the development of mechanical civilization requires astronomical mineral resources, and the development of biological civilization requires astronomical biological resources...... As far as I know, the technological civilization that has entered the cosmic age has always focused on protecting the original ecology of habitable stars, and even if the damage is very limited. But biological civilization ...... I'm sure you already know the Exoskeleton well. ”

Ke Long suddenly realized again: "You guys have been chasing and killing them because the Outer Bone People have destroyed the environment of habitable planets? ”

"That's right." Pioneer 4 said heavily, "Technological civilization likes to preserve the original ecology, but biological civilization always transforms one habitable planet after another to look like their parent planet." ”

"This, I can understand what you mean, but does this have anything to do with why you say that you are not a mechanical civilization?" Ke Long suddenly realized that the topic had been distorted.

Although Pioneer Four's words are very attractive, Colon is more interested in mechanical civilization itself.

"Oh, yes." Pioneer Four replied, "In a way you can understand, our society is made up of purely mechanical beings, but how do you think we came to be?" Do you think it's believable that it evolved directly from stone, as you wrote in your novel? ”

"Of course not." How could Ke Long still not hear the meaning of Pioneer Four? Naturally, according to his meaning, if the Pioneer Four said that they were evolved from stone at this time, Ke Long would have believed it.

"Actually, it's not complicated at all, civilizations evolve little by little, and mechanical civilization is no exception. When our civilization first came out of the planet, it was about the same as you humans. Pioneer Four suddenly changed to a sad tone, "However, only with creativity can it be called civilization, and only the civilization of intelligent robots can no longer be regarded as civilization." ”

"You're saying that you were also created by humans like us, or technological creatures?" Ke Long was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, his mind was full of confusion, and after a while, he asked with difficulty, "Yours, uh, the humans who created you?" ”

"All dead, dead in the war between civilizations." Pioneer IV said, "After our masters entered the cosmic age, they began a cosmic migration that lasted for thousands of years, and later they encountered biological civilizations...... Our masters are not like you humans, they are not a race that is good at fighting, so they are losing ground in the attacks of biological civilizations. ”

"We were the first and last intelligent robots in the history of civilization designed for war, but by the time we were created, we were irretrievably defeated...... When we first made it, we only had one clan, but we were evolutionary intelligent robots with the ability to replicate ourselves, and after hiding according to the owner's wishes, we slowly mined the mine to replicate ourselves, until we had overwhelming strength, and then began to fight back. Pioneer Four said sadly.

"You humans are right when they say that war is the catalyst of civilization. Hehe, the speed of development of civilization has a lot to do with the evolutionary process, your human history is divided into different regions and groups, and your history is a history of war. And our planet has only one race since the birth of intelligent beings, and it took tens of thousands of years from the emergence of civilization to the final entry into the universe, which is much slower than that of you humans. ”

If you don't change it, you will send it directly, and everyone thinks that you don't understand it and point it out, and I'll change it again.

In addition, the brother who is troublesome and does not collect is collected, and the brother who is troublesome has a ticket is recommended.
