As the portal continued to expand, waves of professors were transported, gradually occupying the entire central courtyard.
After lifting the file and looking at the list to confirm that all scholars were present, Chen Yu closed the portal, walked to the high platform, deliberately scanned the audience with a "profound" gaze, and said loudly: "You are all the best in the natural sciences. Experts or educators who can take time out of their busy schedules to come here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude."
"We are not bureaucrats, and this is not a meeting. I should not talk nonsense and go straight to the point. But besides you, there are more than 14 million ordinary people here paying attention. Most of them are interested in the world, technology, and human beings. The development and dilemma of civilization are not yet clear. Therefore, some verbosity cannot be left behind."
He put his hands behind his back, recalled the text in his mind for a while, and said: "Through the Hubble Telescope, we know that the universe originated from the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago. If 13 billion years is compared to 13 years, then the solar system will Appeared 4.5 years ago. The earliest living organisms we know of appeared 4 years ago. The dinosaurs became extinct about three weeks ago."
"The earliest Homo sapiens began to evolve in Africa 50 minutes ago. The Industrial Revolution happened six seconds ago. The First World War happened two seconds ago. As for World War II, the birth of nuclear weapons, Hiroshima becoming a unit of measurement, and humans landing on the moon , electronic revolution, information explosion, etc., are all just things at the last second."
[Human beings are awesome!]
[Awesome +1]
[What is the relationship between Hubble and the Big Bang? How do we know that the universe is 13 billion years old?]
[I was born 0.001 seconds ago.]
[UP Master! You see, my kneeling posture is not standard.]
"Through such time comparison, ordinary people can easily make a cognitive error..."
Chen Yu looked at the camera and stretched out a finger: "Human technology has begun a big explosion, and the flames of this explosion will continue for a long, long time."
"But unfortunately..."
"Ordinary people don't know that behind this glory, there is endless despair."
His voice gradually became lower: "Humanity has entered a bottleneck period. The scientific name of this bottleneck period is called developmental disorder."
"The reason why the lives of you and me, especially the Chinese people, seem to be changing with each passing day, is not called a technological explosion. In fact, it is just that the information Internet industry is developing rapidly."
"In fact, the development of the most important energy, power, materials, semiconductors, and even more important basic physics has slowed down to the point that ordinary people cannot understand it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has completely stagnated."
"Have the viewers in front of the screen noticed? The darkness hidden beneath the glory?"
"For example: Moore's Law has long since expired. The carrying capacity of the Saturn V of the Apollo program fifty years ago has not yet been exceeded. The theory of relativity and quantum theory founded by Einstein a hundred years ago are still the most advanced science in human science in 2020. Cutting edge. Mechanics founded by Newton hundreds of years ago, 95% of people still don’t understand it in 2020... "
After a slight pause, Chen Yu turned his gaze from the camera to the people in front of him: "You should know these issues better."
The professors looked at each other in silence.
"In China's textbooks, there is a story that is mentioned repeatedly, that is, how long it took Jianguo to research nuclear weapons, how long it took Suwell, but it only took China a few years to successfully develop it. Similarly, there is Computers, fighter jets, missiles, satellites, chips, etc.”
"I have to admit that these advances are amazing, but in the end they are just following the path of the predecessors and taking many shortcuts. Few people know that before the Manhattan Project, there was no theoretical support for whether nuclear bombs could be realized. This also leads me to the next step Something to say—the difficulty of pioneering technology.”
"The most critical and difficult part of a scientific research technology is not the investment in manpower, energy, money, or time. It is that we are not sure whether this technology can be realized."
"Just like the controllable nuclear fusion that is being studied all over the world, it is the most critical technology for the continuation of civilization for all mankind. But it is ridiculous. So far, the academic community is not sure whether controllable nuclear fusion looks good but is actually useless. 'Perpetual Motion'."
"To put it more simply, it's like the questions asked by a mentally retarded teacher. We are not sure whether the questions themselves are wrong. After immersing ourselves in answering the questions, it is very likely that we will not get a result even if we calculate to death on a question. This is It’s a technological swamp, and the flat ground is full of abyss, and you’ll die if you step into it.”
Speaking of this, Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the teachers from the Sixth Middle School...
"A small fork in the technology tree can lead to the disintegration of a certain superpower."
“If there is a big fork in the technological tree, even human civilization will cease to exist.”
"Having heard this, do the audience in front of the screen still think that technology is in an explosive period?" Chen Yu walked off the platform and waved, gesturing for everyone to follow him.
The professors did not hesitate and followed closely, leaving the courtyard, walking through the corridors, bypassing the halls, walking out of the castle, and arriving at the door of an independent small castle.
"The legacy of Einstein and other modern scholars has been exhausted, and human development has inevitably reached a barrier."
"This also explains the Fermi Paradox, why the vast galaxy is not occupied by aliens from the Big Bang of technology. We have never seen aliens."
"Because there is no continuous technological explosion. Most civilizations will eventually be annihilated by layers of scientific barriers."
"Even we humans are almost locked in this tiny solar system by science in various fields such as physics, light speed, energy, genes, astronomy, and communications..."
"Why did I add the word 'almost'?"
Stepping forward, Chen Yu stretched out his hands and pressed on the door of the small castle, smiling: "The answer is here."
"Creaking, creaking, creaking..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed open the wooden door, and the vicissitudes of life and ancient atmosphere rushed in from inside!
The pupils of all the professors present suddenly dilated.
The officials, scientific researchers, and even ordinary viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but scream in horror.
here…
It is a sea of books.
Row after row, column after column, endlessly extending, densely packed ocean of books!
In the high-definition picture of the camera, everyone can see the text on the sticker on the bookshelf in front.
[Atmospheric Nanobot Dispersal (Atmospheric Nanobot Dispersal Theory)]
[L-Gate Insight (L Star Gate Academic Cognition)]
[Nanite Repair System (microparticle repair system)]
[Synthetics (Overview of Synthetics)]
[Dark Matter Power (Discovery and Application of Dark Matter Energy)]
[Entropic Recursion (Entropic Recursion of Omega Theory)]
[Mega-Engineering (Essentials of Mega-Structure Engineering)]
[Extradimensional Weaponry (high-dimensional weapon theoretical model)]
[Selected Lineages (gene selection formula)]
[Ascension Theory (Human Ascension Theory)]
[…]
Turning around, opening his arms and facing the camera, Chen Yu's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"see it?"
"As a LEGO parenting toy, it is natural that there are no popular science books for children and teenagers in the 30th century."
"This… "
"This is when human civilization shines most brilliantly!"
