Chapter 580: See and hear along the way

Views:

Along the way, the young officer's attitude was not very good. Although he followed diplomatic etiquette and answered all the two-brained people's questions that were not sensitive, he still had an aura of superiority about him. Overflowing.

As a new generation of humans, humans have been the undisputed overlords of the nearby star field since his birth.

Highly developed civilization, ever-changing science and technology, civilization has been in the rising period of vigorous development, and everywhere you look is a backward and barbaric wilderness. Even in recent times, a civilization that seems to be more powerful than human beings has been discovered, but with a high and confident mentality, Let him still believe that this is just an insignificant pebble in the progress of mankind.

After all, human beings are developing too fast. Since the production of smart medicines began to explode a hundred years ago, they have gradually become popular to everyone. At the same time, the proportion of people engaged in scientific research positions has also begun to rise linearly, and now it has reached an astonishing 100%. ninety one.

Translated into numbers, it would be about 540 million people. This is an extremely astonishing number. It is like a huge engine, driving the rapid development of human civilization. Living in this ever-changing era, it is natural to feel contempt for everything. mentality.

However, in the eyes of the two-brained people, the attitude of the young officer is too normal. This is the attitude that a highly civilized gentleman should have. They even feel that the rigid expression and indifferent demeanor on his face exudes an inexplicable... The majesty, and even the appearance that did not conform to the aesthetics of the two-brained person, seemed to have become a bit noble, sparkling and charming.

Many two-brained women frequently looked at the young officer secretly, with fear and a hint of burning passion, even though she was taller and stronger than humans.

Humanity has long eliminated nuclear fusion engines and generally uses antimatter. This aircraft is no exception. It can accelerate all the way to 0.9 times the speed of light. If necessary, it can be slightly modified to increase fuel reserves, and it can even fly short distances. interstellar voyage.

Of course, the distance between the spaceport and the earth is only over one million kilometers. After only accelerating to a thousand kilometers per second, the aircraft has entered near space. Soon all the two-brained people were attracted by the beautiful scenery of the earth.

Looking down from space, the continent has no other colors except a patch of emerald green.

If the ocean is compared to a sapphire, then the continent is like an emerald embedded in the sapphire, which is so beautiful.

Over the years, human footprints are still "shrinking" in the East Asia area of the northern hemisphere, without much expansion, so that the rest of the land is basically a dense forest. In the final analysis, the human population is still too small, not to mention filling three new territories. Even filling the earth with a transformed life planet will take at least a hundred years.

At this time, they seemed to have seen something strange. A group of two-brained people began to argue in a low voice, with incredible expressions on their faces:

"Dear Sir, can you tell us what that translucent layer is? Is it an energy shield?"

The young officer followed his gaze and found that the other party was referring to the African continent. Seventy years ago, this continent was shrouded in a huge electromagnetic force field and became a paradise for mutant beasts, so he nodded and spoke lightly. said:

"There are a large number of mutant beasts concentrated there, which are dangerous to a certain extent, so that continent has been isolated."

All the two-brained people looked at each other in shock. What kind of terrible creature was it that needed to be isolated with something that was obviously an energy shield? And since it was dangerous, why not eliminate it.

The energy it consumes every second is probably as much as their entire planet consumes in a year. They don't believe that with the strength shown by advanced civilization, any terrible beast can threaten them.

However, if the alien master is rich and powerful, of course he can do whatever he wants.

They asked, and seeing the alien master's attitude of not wanting to say anything, they wisely kept their mouths shut.

In fact, this continent is home to all the mutated terrestrial organisms on earth. It is currently mankind's largest genetic treasure house. There are more than 100 service agencies that collect genetic and biological samples there for a long time, and new ones are discovered every year. There are more than 50,000 genomes, and more than 100 innate abilities that cannot be replicated by technology have been discovered.

At the same time, nearly 35% of research results come from bionics.

For example, the most sensational recent research result, the artificial micro-universe, comes from a magical mutant beast named "Taotie".

It is not big in size, only about the size of a puppy, but its appetite is astonishingly large. It can easily eat food hundreds of times larger than itself. After this mysterious phenomenon was discovered, it was immediately captured by humans. .

The final study found that its stomach pouch is a completely independent space, and its esophagus is a natural space channel.

Its level is not high, and it can be cloned. However, when it passes through the embryo, the gastric band and its independent space change from nothing to nothing. After several years of continuous research, the principle is still unclear.

However, although there has been no progress at all on the principles of space formation, it does not prevent humans from applying it.

Human biotechnology has reached a very high level. Gene editing is as easy as programming. Humans can even set size parameters and specific shapes in advance to cultivate organisms tens of thousands of times larger than the prototype directly from the culture medium. Space bag.

It is foreseeable that when these biological space bags are gradually used in the galaxy mineral transportation industry, the transportation efficiency will probably increase hundreds to thousands of times.

Half an hour later, the aircraft flew over the southern hemisphere and finally stopped at the parking lot in Hope City.

Relevant diplomats had already come to greet them, but the standard was obviously not high, there were only two of them.

Soon this group of people was sent to the State Guesthouse, and the specific negotiation and signing will be held two days later.

The novel and sci-fi scenes along the way dazzled everyone, and they were in awe. After walking out of the shuttle door, their feet felt a little weak. After politely declining the banquet specially for them, a group of people began to meet behind closed doors.

"Their population seems to be very small. The entire planet is basically a forest, the streets of the city are sparsely populated, and business is withered." A two-brained intelligence officer first said: "This shows that their technological potential is not great."

"But the gap of thousands of years, how many years do we need to catch up? Ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, this is not an issue that needs to be considered now." The two-brained man knocked on the table and said seriously: "Now our most important thing It is to collect information that is useful to us, especially about technology, social forms, and various advanced development experiences, and then learn from it humbly.”

After implementing the central idea, the two-brained people continued to discuss the intelligence collected along the way.

"Their automation is very high, artificial intelligence is everywhere, and service personnel have basically been eliminated. I just don't know how the factory is. I think it should be the same. Otherwise, we cannot have such a huge industrial scale. Maybe we will also We can develop in this direction," said one of the two-brained people.

"Aren't you worried about the rebellion of artificial intelligence, which will cause the destruction of civilization!" A two-brained man retorted fiercely. Two-brained people have already had artificial intelligence, but due to the impact on society and the possibility of loss of control, it has only been used in a small range.

"This is an inevitable trend in the development of civilization. Fire is terrible, and electricity is also terrible, but we have finally tamed it. We are afraid that it will not solve any problems. What we should do is how to control it. What's more, now that we have a suzerain country, since humans Not wanting to destroy us shows that we are useful. Even if there is a problem, as long as we make a humble request, I believe that humans will not sit idly by. "
