Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan is quite busy these days. Unreal Labs has been looking for the next breakthrough direction, magnetic field perception and personal brain system. After these years of large-scale popularization, it is basically perfect and has achieved very good results. results.

But these scientists will not stop because of this. People have been thinking: What is the next direction for breakthroughs?

After a long period of certification discussion, the expert team found several possible breakthrough points.

The first is neutrino perception. Neutrinos are ubiquitous in the universe, and they are extremely penetrating. Right-handed neutrinos can also transmit information to a certain extent. The role that neutrinos can participate in is mainly the weak interaction, which is very different from the conventional electromagnetic interaction.

In essence, human beings' current perception ability, whether it is sound or image, almost all depends on electromagnetic interaction. So scientists have a big idea, if a certain perception depends on "weak interaction", what is the universe like in this perception?

However, at the current level of technology, it is almost impossible to integrate this perception ability in the human brain.

Because the human neutrino receiver is at least as big as a house, there is no way to shrink it! No matter how hard Zhang Yuan and others try, it is impossible to shrink the neutrino receiver into a single chip. In this way, there is no other way. Unless there is a huge breakthrough in basic science, this direction will not be tried again.

The second direction is the dimension perception ability. The time and space in which human beings live is itself distorted. Judging from the current human cognition, the essence of universal gravitation is the distortion of time and space. Now people can indeed perceive gravity, but if the gravitation they feel can be quantified as the distortion of time and space, Then a huge qualitative change has taken place in human cognition!

That is to say, this route is trying to “touch” the gravitational force among the four major forces.

Unfortunately, this is too difficult.

Zhang Yuan once felt the true meaning from the universe, but he didn't know how to reproduce it. This is two different orders of magnitude from the difficulty of magnetic field perception...

As for the third direction, the strong interaction of one of the four basic forces, this route is even more illusory, and there is no such possibility at present.

Then there is only the fourth direction left, which is to continue to make breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. On the one hand, it can continue to improve productivity and reduce the workload of humans. On the other hand, it has great reference significance for future human brain transformation.

This direction is quite successful. With the robot database bought from the Dyson ball, it is developing steadily. However, there is a deep gap from the ultimate goal of "strong artificial intelligence". If we cannot cross this gap, there will be no qualitative change.

"Oh, all the work is very difficult." Zhang Yuan scratched his head, a little distressed, and the cutting-edge technology of human beings got stuck for a while.

But soon, he put his troubles behind him, this is the normal state of a civilization. It is very rare to want to achieve a big breakthrough for decades.

"The Unreal Lab is basically useless. Have you made any progress?" Zhang Yuan asked casually after taking a sip of his coffee.

After get off work, it's fun to have a drink in the coffee shop and chat with old friends.

"Don't think about doing all the work yourself." Li Zhendong said with a smile: "I heard that the new education method has repeatedly spread "good news" and has paralyzed many young people. Let's go in and receive education sometime ?”

This paralysis is really "paralysis". According to various survey reports, after the students went back, they were all distraught, and their mentality changed a lot.

From a general perspective, the results of this new educational method are quite good, but it inevitably brings some negative effects. Some of them were not strong enough psychologically, and even developed various psychological problems...

"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "We can't stop this project just because a few people have problems."

All kinds of voices in the society are naturally arguing about this.

Some people think that certain restricted scenes should be blocked, such as brains, intestines, bone marrow, etc., a little bit of blocking, or playing some mosaics, so as not to scare the children.

High school students are really just kids... kids who are very passionate but have little knowledge.

But some people think that since these scenes really existed in history, why should they be blocked? If it is blocked, the educational significance will undoubtedly drop a lot.

A researcher in Unreal Labs is complaining, "I definitely oppose stopping this kind of education, and designing various scenes is also very complicated. These virtual worlds have to be used repeatedly, and they cannot be real worlds made of life... Sometimes, the world of reuse is more difficult than the real world!"

Things related to this kind of virtual world have to be handled by them, and it took many years of hard work. All NPCs use the latest pseudohuman algorithm, which looks similar to humans.

What the students are currently experiencing is part of the history of Western Europe and Eastern Europe, followed by the crueler modern history of East Asia, and the world war that killed and injured tens of millions of people!

I didn't have to accept this kind of virtual world education until I graduated from university...

When Zhang Yuan was young, he hated the modern history of East Asia very much. He thought it was too heavy, and everything he read was disgusting. I still don't like it until now, no one likes the age when the weak and ravaged, but I can settle down and study it carefully.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Whether you accept it or not, the history of mankind is a true history of suffering. Without dedication and sacrifice, no progress can be made.

...

"drop--"

Just when everyone was chatting happily, the sound of emergency communication suddenly came from his ear, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, it was the captain's room that sent the meeting notice.

He quickly got up and said to the surrounding colleagues: "There is a notice, let's go first."

Since the underground living area of ​​the entire planet has not yet been excavated, everyone is staying in the temporary work area, so the journey is not too far. It takes only ten minutes to reach the captain's room by rail train.

While riding the train, Zhang Yuan thought of a more troublesome question: If there is a real underground living area around the world in the future, and everyone's work places are thousands of kilometers apart, what should they do when an emergency meeting is held?

No matter how fast the current means of transportation are, the distance of thousands of kilometers will still take a lot of time.

"Or simply transform into a remote holographic meeting? Or use virtual world technology to hold a meeting? This is possible."

When he walked into the captain's room, he found that the atmosphere inside was very silent, as if something extraordinary had happened. Several military experts stood at the front with serious expressions, without saying a word.

Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Li Zhendong who walked in together: "What's going on?"

"I do not know either."

These soldiers are basically not in charge of internal affairs meetings. The appearance of these guys shows that there is a high probability that it is not an internal problem of civilization, but an external problem!

The beating speed of the heart is accelerating. Zhang Yuan frowned and sat down, thinking about some problems: the new human civilization stays in the void of the universe, and the basic defense measures are still done quite well, without conspicuous light, nor too huge of thermal radiation. In theory, it is difficult to be discovered by other civilizations.

The nearest star is 0.2 light years away, and the number of photons is extremely rare, not to mention that there are no cosmic strings nearby, so the probability of encountering aliens is too low...

Soon, relevant information was distributed.

Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

It is the largest "South Pole Star" space telescope on the planet, and it accidentally observed something amazing: just a few hours ago, an unknown object with a mass of about 2.3 times the earth, from the position of 0.19 light-years near the battle star Hope , flew over.
