Chapter 1: Grading and Longevity

Yang Lie muttered, and he fixed his gaze on the information in his hand again.

Formerly known as Aya Pascoe and now known as Yang Lie, the young man was part of several scientific teams to which the decider belonged.

This is a great honor and status.

Different from the think tank team, Lu Yuanming really treats and respects scientists and scholars with the highest level of treatment and respect, he will hardly ask a scientist or a group of scientific groups to become his personal advisors, and there are three scientific teams as personal consultants, one is Lin An's scientific team, one is the scientific team recommended and designated by the five seats, and the other is Yang Lie's scientific team.

It is precisely because of the small number that it is precious, and the scientific team, including Yang Lie's team, basically represents the direction of the decision-maker for the scientific community and human scientific research, although it is an exaggeration to say this, but Yang Lie's team is a hot upstart among scientists, which is beyond doubt.

Because of this, since he showed his face once during the Wandering Moon Project, the only thing that all the members of Yang Lie's scientific team did in the following time was ...... Study!

That's right, since the beginning of the new century to the present, in January of the eighth year of the new century, all the members of Yang Lie's team have spent all their time studying, except for participating in every meeting of the decision-makers and answering questions immediately when the decision-makers need to consult.

This is actually a very helpless thing, as the personal advisory scientific team of His Excellency the decision-maker, this team should have soared to the sky and become the top scientific team in the current human civilization system, but the problem is actually here...... Yang Lie's team was actually a small regional scientific research team before it became brilliant, and it can't be said that it is completely out of the stream, but it is really out of the stream in the human science system.

There are no world-renowned scientists, no papers or contributions to the scientific community, and even a lack of fame, so it's not a good thing that this team suddenly becomes prominent.

Fortunately, the people in this team have enough sanity, and at the same time, Yang Lie, who has shown his face in front of Lu Yuanming, also has enough sanity, they are not the kind of people who suddenly get a high position and wander freely.

After becoming Lu Yuanming's personal consultant science team, Yang Lie and many members of the team discussed carefully for a long time, and they began the study plan, and with the name of the private consultant science team, everyone in this team was able to enter the first academy of mankind for further study, and also participated in the research and experiments of many top scientific groups, including the deep space research group of the great scientist Schiller Rodriguez, and the energy and quantum research group of the great scientist Liu Yan, etc.

Eight years of studying, not competing for fame and profit, just for a solid foundation, but this insight and perseverance are also incredible.

And today, Yang Lie's group is planning to make a blockbuster!

Before Lu Yuanming was about to get off work that day, he received an electronic letter on his computer, which was an appointment for the face-to-face appointment proposed by Yang Lie's team.

For this, he naturally replied directly and agreed.

Lu Yuanming didn't take it too seriously at first, because if there was really any big scientific discovery or breakthrough, then he would definitely be the first to be notified, but he actually had these three scientific teams under him, and he also had an impression of Yang Lie's scientific team.

There was nothing to say that day, and the next day Lu Yuanming received Yang Lie and his party in the morning, and he deliberately found a small meeting room, just to receive it in an ordinary body...... These people belong to his subordinates and cronies, so it doesn't matter if they reveal their true colors, and this is actually a gesture of intimacy.

Everyone sat down, Lu Yuanming said a few daily words to them, and asked about their current research fields or something, and then Yang Lie sent a document, Lu Yuanming knew that the main drama was coming, which is why they made an appointment for an interview.

“…… Civilization Hierarchy? ”

Lu Yuanming picked up the report and read it, muttering as he looked at him.

It is now January of the eighth year of the new century, and it is only less than a month before the Spring Festival, Lu Yuanming has become the human decider for nearly ten years, and after such a long period of experience, Lu Yuanming has long been different, although he does not dare to say that he is a peerless figure like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but at least in terms of leaders and superiors, he is qualified.

When he saw the report, he asked, "What kind of charter is this?" Isn't the current scientific community's accepted classification of civilization based on the acquisition and use of energy? I think it's very good, for example, in the era of the earth, we were a 0.7 level cosmic civilization, and now we are level 1, and the Aibo civilization is a crippled level 2...... Any questions? ”

The people in Yang Lie's team all looked at Yang Lie, and Yang Lie also sat down closer and said: "There is actually no fixed classification of this civilization, or a detailed classification of digitization, it is just some cognition that has become conventional, Your Excellency, you should also know that we human beings are actually in a hurry, from the age of the earth to the deep space of the universe, we are actually not ready, whether it is physical, or psychological. ”

Lu Yuanming sighed, he nodded silently, and just continued to look at the report.

This is actually a public statement.

Human beings are far from being ready to enter the deep space of the universe, whether it is from the scientific and technological level, the material level, the psychological level, the social system and other aspects.

But when the ducks are put on the shelves, people have already reached deep space, and they can't carry it hard.

Yang Lie saw that Lu Yuanming understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that we have too many defects, and other defects are naturally made up by professionals, but there is one defect that has never been mentioned or remedied, and it is because of this that we have this report." ”

"Civilization classification?"

Lu Yuanming probably understood the meaning of Yang Lie and his party coming here, he recalled in his heart while looking at the report, and then had to admit that what Yang Lie and the others said was indeed true.

At present, the civilization classification system adopted by human beings does not have a scientific basis in the strict sense, and comes more from science fiction works and conjectures about extraterrestrial civilizations.

To put it simply, how can you, a planetary native, who can't even reach the first-level cosmic civilization, evaluate how strong and what level is the cosmic civilization that has begun to colonize the entire star system, or even explore the civilization in the star system and march towards the river system?

Planetary-level civilization, stellar-level civilization, river-level civilization, etc., are just general concepts of human beings, and naturally it doesn't matter in the Earth era, because there are no aliens and alien civilizations for them to study at all, so all conjectures are conjectures after all, so don't say it's these classifications, even if you add any cosmic level, cosmic king level, cosmic emperor level, cosmic emperor level...... It doesn't matter, it's just a play on words.

But now it's different, human beings have really entered the deep space of the universe, and they have really come into contact with alien civilizations, one is the Martian civilization that has long since perished, and the other is the Aibo civilization that almost wiped out the human race before.

And in the foreseeable future, humanity will come into contact with more extraterrestrial civilizations, whether they are strong or weak, and there will definitely be no shortage in numbers.

Because of this, the rigid rating based on energy acquisition and use is actually very inconsistent with the current needs of human civilization.

Because it can be seen from this Aibo civilization that a scientific foundation is seriously damaged, but it is building Dyson Cloud, has curvature navigation technology, and also has a third-level cosmic civilization war weapon that is enough to smash the stars, so what level should such a civilization be judged by?

“…… From the above, this is by no means a small issue that can be taken lightly, and it is the core issue related to the future contact between our human civilization and other extraterrestrial civilizations! ”

Lu Yuanming flipped through the position of this report, he felt something, so he picked up the pen and redrew a line under this paragraph, and then he said to Yang Lie resolutely: "This is a big problem, since you have shown me this report, there must be a draft, and send it to me at the same time, I will hold a seminar at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I hope you can also attend, it is a seminar in the scientific community, nothing else, this matter really needs to be discussed and discussed." ”

Yang Lie was overjoyed, not only him, but the rest of the team as well.

That's their plan.

These eight years of study have indeed solidified their academic foundation, but they have also made them see themselves clearly......

How to say it.

There is no more realistic and cruel place than in the scientific world!

In any other field, there is a way to make up for the clumsy with diligence, and there are many ways to succeed in other fields by relying on elders, family background, or chance.

But the field of science is different, no is nothing, if you can't do it, you can't do it, then you are the son of the president of the strongest country in the world, or the son of the richest man in the world, if you want to cheat on your academic certificate, it's okay, but if you really want to become a top or sub-top scientist, then you really can't rely on anything else to achieve!

Talent, talent, talent!

Don't say that success is 99% hard work and 1% talent, without that seemingly unimportant 1% talent, it is useless to work hard to 300%!

And this is exactly the situation of Yang Lie's team.

Eight years of further study, let them really have a solid foundation, but also let them understand where their limits are, to put it mildly, their team even has the name of Lu Yuanming's consulting team, there is no shortage of money and materials, and then open up to accept people, at most they can only achieve the level of a second-rate team in the scientific community, it is difficult to improve again, and it is impossible to go to the first-class, even a top scientific team like Schiller Rodriguez and Liu Yan.

That's the limit of their talent!

So after Yang Lie discussed with the people in the team for a long time, he finally decided on the direction of his team.

It's really hard to give up competing with those real masters in the field of science, and those big names in the scientific field, even if they are not the top, can hang them up and beat.

But it is not their pursuit to be unpopular, they themselves know that they are very vulgar, not to mention fame and fortune, and they hope to really be able to do something that can really be beneficial to human civilization.

So why not take a different approach?

Since they can't reach the top of the scientific field, why don't they take the combination of think tank team and science team?

"It's not nice to say, but let's admit it, guys, we're such mediocre people, but we're not reconciled, so why can't we be a special team? Like what...... The only scientific team in the think tank team, or the only think tank team in the scientific team, this is our way out in the future! ”

These little Jiujiu in the hearts of Yang Lie and his team, Lu Yuanming is not clear, and even if he is clear, he will not care, these are all trivial things.

In the next few days, Lu Yuanming consulted and talked with many scientific teams, including several existing people who can be called great scientists, and finally came up with a civilization level that was recognized by scientists.

"The first-level civilization is based on the standards of the 21st century, and its core is mature gunpowder weapons, powerful over-the-horizon missiles on the planet, and the development and application of nuclear energy."

"The second-level civilization is based on the existing science and technology of mankind, and its core is the application of hydrogen fusion reactors and electromagnetic technology, and the popularization of new materials through the control of electromagnetic forces."

"The core feature of the third-level civilization is energy weapons, the popularization and application of energy shields, and the energy acquisition that is now speculated may involve positive and antimatter reactors, and the acquisition of antimatter may also be related to the application of higher intensity electromagnetic forces."

"The core characteristics of the fourth-level civilization may have two directions, one is space application technology, such as the mature curvature navigation technology should come from the fourth-level cosmic civilization, and at the same time, there has been a breakthrough in the research of dark matter, at least the fourth-level cosmic civilization has the ability to prevent the attack of dark matter."

"The core characteristics of the fifth-level civilization may be related to the advanced application of space, such as stargates, wormhole breakthroughs, and so on......"

"The core feature of the sixth-level civilization may be the integrated application of the temporal and spatial structure, such as the transition technology ......"

"Seventh-level Civilization ......"

In the classification of civilizations, human beings have set the classification of cosmic civilizations to nine levels, of which levels 1 to 3 are low-level cosmic civilizations, levels 4 to 6 are intermediate cosmic civilizations, and levels 7 to 9 are high-level cosmic civilizations.

The division is no longer limited by geography, such as planetary level, stellar level, river system level or something, but based on its specific application technology, such as the second level is electromagnetic force, the third level is the advanced application and energy of electromagnetic force, the fourth level is the advanced application of energy and space, the fifth level is the advanced application of space and the first time, and the sixth level is the synchronous application of time and space......

Of course, there are many incompleteness in this level, after all, human beings are actually only second-level civilizations according to this level, and if you want to measure and rate intermediate or advanced civilizations with this level of civilization, this is really difficult for these scientists, so this rating is just that, and you can only wait for the future level of human science and technology to improve, and see more alien civilizations to modify and fill in one by one.

However, with this mess, cosmic sociology, cosmic civilization and other disciplines have also appeared in the first academy of mankind and have become one of the popular subjects.

Not to mention these, after a period of backwardness in the matter of civilization grading, another matter was immediately mentioned by Lu Yuanming.

Life span!

Lu Yuanming wanted to know if he could use his colorless light particles to greatly increase the life span of humans!

"If we don't want to take the path of mechanical ascension to prolong life, then can we take genetic ascension? Or rather......"

"What about the path of transcendent genetic ascension mixed with my transcendent powers?"
