Earth Era

Chapter 259 The power of knowledge

It was a very small chip, about the size of a fingernail, but to Wei Feng, it looked very big, too big to be described.

Wei Feng knew this kind of chip very well. When he saw this chip, Wei Feng roughly recognized its material at the first sight. It is probably made of quartz sand, which is as worthless as sand on Earth, but now it is more valuable than anything else.

Because Wei Feng knew that if the message this mysterious man gave him was true... then this chip would mean the future of an entire civilization, the life and death of an entire civilization. This is what the Martian civilization obtained at the cost of the demise of its entire civilization. This is something that the countless civilizations that may exist in the universe that are troubled by dead knots and eventually disappear are willing to exchange for it at any price.

The life and death of hundreds of billions of humans depend on this tiny chip. The Island Project was born for this thing, and Fuhrer Keller died for the Island Project. Wei Feng has dedicated more than four hundred years to the isolated island project. There are also countless scientific researchers, logistics workers, and the entire team of time travelers...

All this effort is for this chip. It is priceless, and no words can describe its value. Compared with it, any wealth, any precious gold, and diamonds are like dung.

This is the value of knowledge. Knowledge is human civilization, no, not just human civilization. If there are other civilizations in this universe, Wei Feng believes that they must have the same understanding as human civilization: knowledge is the root of everything, and knowledge is understanding the universe and mastering it. The only weapon in this universe. With knowledge, everything comes.

At this moment, Wei Feng's legs were shaking. Before coming to Blue Night Star, Wei Feng imagined many situations and thought about many ways to obtain key scientific data of Martian civilization from the remains of Martian civilization. Wei Feng is even prepared to work here for decades or even a hundred years, or to devote the rest of his life here. Because the universe is so vast, even just one star system is enough for a certain civilization to devote its entire life to exploring it. Relics of Martian civilization may exist anywhere in this star system, and the satellites will have to spend a long time searching for them. Then. Whether enough data will eventually be found is still unknown.

It is very difficult to collect and sort out the scientific data that may be left behind by the Martian civilization. Those key scientific data may be hidden on the planet. It may be hidden in a corner of the galaxy. Even an inconspicuous battleship shell fragment may hide vital material science data. A broken chip may restore the data of hundreds of millions of years ago. Research data of Martian civilization on certain phenomena in the universe. This was a very random thing, so much so that Wei Feng didn't even know where to start.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Feng is ready to devote his whole life here.

But... none of what Wei Feng envisioned came true. Wei Feng just came to the Blue Night Star. Then I received the signal guidance, and then came here, where this chip carrying everything Wei Feng needed was presented.

Wei Feng didn't know how the wise old man did it, and he didn't know what price the wise old man paid for it, but... all these incredible things, if they happened to the wise old man, made Wei Feng feel... It's so natural and appropriate. After all, he was already so mysterious, and it didn't seem to matter if he was a little more mysterious at this moment.

Wei Feng barely suppressed his excitement. Then he walked towards the chip. Wei Feng took his arm out of the space suit, and then carefully picked up the chip with his right hand wearing a thin plastic glove. Then he put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

It is indeed just an ordinary chip, unremarkable. even. Its model and manufacturing process have also been heard by Wei Feng. It was a type that had been eliminated decades ago before Wei Feng left the earth.

Wei Feng looked at it for a while, then picked up the helmet with his left hand, and then inserted the small chip into a certain interface inside the helmet with his right hand - although this chip manufacturing process has been eliminated for decades, But it is probably still a product of the same era as Wei Feng’s space suit. The development of electronic products will always be compatible with previous manufacturing methods, so Wei Feng's spacesuit also has the ability to interpret this chip.

Wei Feng is not a professional scientist. Moreover, even if Wei Feng was a professional scientist, Wei Feng would not be able to master hundreds and thousands of pieces of scientific knowledge at the same time. And... to interpret key scientific data that can push an entire civilization to break its deadlock. How high are the requirements for professional scientific literacy?

Wei Feng naturally does not have this ability, but Ye Luo does. certainly. It is somewhat inaccurate to say that Ye Luo has the ability to interpret these data. It is more accurate to say that Ye Luo has the ability to judge the true value of this information.

It cannot be interpreted, but its value can be judged. This is because the computer engineers who originally programmed Ye Luo combined hundreds of thousands and millions of professional scientific experts to set many judgment conditions in Ye Luo's logical judgment mechanism. Determining whether a piece of information has value does not require a complete understanding of it, just whether it meets these judgment criteria.

Ye Luo's ability is Wei Feng's biggest reliance in carrying out this mission. Otherwise, how can Wei Feng, a non-professional scientific practitioner, identify which data are valuable and which data are worthless.

This is what Wei Feng relies on to carry out this data collection mission, but... if this chip is real, how did the mysterious wise old man do this? How does he find valuable things from that potentially vast sea of ​​data, and is he able to determine their authenticity? Could it be that the spaceship of the mysterious wise old man also has an artificial intelligence program similar to Ye Luo?

However, Wei Feng knew that Ye Luo was compiled by the collaboration of tens of millions of experts from various disciplines. No matter how mysterious the wise old man is, it is impossible for one person to compare with tens of millions of people. This goes beyond Wei Feng’s cognition and worldview framework.

So...the wise old man has mastered the knowledge of all subjects by himself? This is also beyond the acceptable range of Wei Feng. For Wei Feng to accept this, it is better to let Wei Feng believe that the wise old man alone has written an artificial intelligence program that can compare with Ye Luo. (To be continued.)

PS: Hmm... This was originally a big chapter with 4,000 words, but Rainbow shamefully split it into two chapters. After all, it would be unpleasant to publish the first update... The next update will be released in 1 minute
