I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

After teasing the fat man, Chen Feng was in a good mood.

Even Ryan next to him had a knowing smile on his face.

Ou Junlang is not really that useless, he is quite talented when it comes to singing.

As for other aspects, it is really difficult to say.

Chen Feng felt strange.

Because Fatty is just stupid on the surface, but his brain is quite good. When he was trying to punish Zhou A, Fatty's dirty tricks shocked Chen Feng, but for some reason, he couldn't do things well.

Maybe this is life. The starting line of life is someone else's end point, which consumes his life's luck.

This may be life.

Ignoring the fat man, Chen Feng chatted with Ryan again.

The two first talked about the recent situation of Xingfeng Research Institute.

"None of those people are looking for trouble, right?"

"No. It all ended this morning." Ryan nodded, "Actually, Mr. Ou is in charge of these things, and I didn't participate much. You know, I'm not very good at dealing with these."

Chen Feng smiled and said: "With your brain, if you want to learn, there should be nothing in this world that you can't learn. The so-called essence of politics is actually psychology and statistics."

"If you don't like it, then you can't learn anything profound, so it's not interesting. No matter how serious I think about it, I'm still not as good as some natural politicians. The so-called political sense depends partly on experience and partly on intuition. Some people are born good at it. "

Chen Feng nodded, "So this is the incredible thing about human beings. Intuition is very important and can allow us to do things beyond our capabilities."

Ryan: "Like defeating an otherwise impossible alien invader?"

"right."

Ryan sat down next to him, "Then what do you think is intuition?"

Chen Feng: "Let's first speculate on what human thinking is. The ancients thought it was the soul, fairy novels talk about divine consciousness, and top programmers think thinking is a particularly complex program. Of course, in the 21st century, Others believe that human thought is actually the quantum collapse of phosphorus atoms."

Ryan: "I agree with the last statement, but this is metaphysics and cannot be conclusively proven. At the same time, it also denies the feasibility of another technology that many people are longing for now, which is the feasibility of mind transfer and mechanical immortality. "

"I also agree with this statement. Because a thousand years later, I have seen a clearer statement, which is much more complicated than the simple quantum collapse of phosphorus atoms. Countless ultra-low energy level quantum collapses come together to form Quantum thought storm. The essence of our thinking is a quantum storm that is both regular and irregular. Our memory is the more regular part of the quantum storm, and our temporary thoughts are the irregular part."

"Neither part can exist independently, but must rely on each other to be considered a complete person. When we learn new knowledge, the quantum storm in the brain is irregular at first. But through training and strengthening memory, it is originally irregular. The quantum storm begins to show certain rules, and then a memory is formed. Of course, the memory will also be forgotten. The reason for forgetting is that the quantum itself tends to be irregular, and the rules formed by forcible kneading can be maintained for a certain period of time, but there is no This tendency from order to disorder is unstoppable.”

Ryan, “But we can also re-establish patterns through re-learning and repeated application in our working lives.”

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes. We can think of our fragmented memories as small vortices that make up the quantum storm. Due to their different learning and coverage areas, these small vortices will belong to the same type, and they will be different from each other. Some seemingly invisible connections are formed. It is difficult for us to realize this connection at ordinary times, but at certain specific moments, when our emotions have a special desire for something, the desire to solve the problem will become the driving force. Strength, and let this larger law emerge naturally, this becomes our intuition."

Ryan: “So you think intuition should be based on a relatively complete knowledge system?”

"Of course. Let me give you an example. Top programmers are usually very smart people, but if you ask them to do the work of a carpenter. He faces a problem and can't come up with a solution even if he racks his brains. But if he is a carpenter, he can only rely on With a flash of inspiration, the problem can be solved. Vice versa, if a top carpenter is asked to program, even if he has learned a little bit of basic knowledge, he will not be able to come up with something outside his own knowledge framework. Even if the programmer has no Although you have learned it, you can rely on the accumulation of knowledge in related fields to complete a self-divergence."

Ryan: "So the mystery of human beings lies in intuition? We can always do things beyond our original abilities, which makes our upper limit infinitely higher. So the compound-eyed civilization must destroy us?"

"Yes, if you think about it, our potential is so strong that I am afraid of myself. But this is just one of the reasons. In fact, the compound-eye civilization wants to destroy not only the people on earth, but also implements the same strategy against other civilizations in the entire galaxy. .”

Ryan: "Is that so? Free range?"

"Captivity."

"To what extent are captives generally kept?"

Chen Feng thought for a while, "I can't be 100% sure about this. You all know the solar system barrier, right? I speculate that if it is a civilization that is blocked in advance by the barrier, then they may let it go to at least level two or above, but this We haven't seen it either. The people who have traveled the farthest have only left the solar system for less than 200 light years, and have not even seen the Orion Arm. The ruins we have discovered are basically near the first-level civilization. .”

Ryan: "I didn't expect you to use the outdated expression Kardashev classification."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "For ease of understanding, you can understand what I mean by first-level civilization as having mastered the ability to colonize across star systems. Second-level civilization means mastering mass-energy conversion technology and having initial access to curvature space and subtle subtleties. That’s as far as the quarks control it.”

"Well, that means that civilizations that can be locked up in advance by the Compound Eyes will be left alone for a longer period of time. But they only have one cover, so most of them are destroyed before traveling across the star system."

"Yes."

Fatty Ou, who was listening to the confusion next to him, was finally able to interject a sentence, "Then I don't think they are very ruthless. They have been able to let people develop for such a long time."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said, "You know nothing. When the Earthlings were targeted for the first time, if they developed at the normal speed, they would still be at least a thousand years away from traveling across star systems."

Fatty: "Then it's normal for them to lock us up in advance."

Chen Feng did not deny this, "Shut up, you are so normal! They don't even intend to leave any relics for us!"

Regarding this matter, the Planning Institute who read his memories in this timeline once made some calculations.

According to the technological level and development speed of the first timeline, it will take at least one thousand to two thousand years for human beings to stably achieve colonization across star systems.

Based on the habits of people with compound eyes, humans should be given at least another thousand years to wait until around 3500 to put the barrier in place, and then harvest again in 4000 years.

Don't look at it as just a short gap of a thousand years.

But Chen Feng drew another conclusion from the feedback from the Proxima Centauri fleet. The Compound Eyes only had one solar system barrier.

So taking action here a thousand years in advance is equivalent to occupying the quota of another captive civilization that is locked up by the barrier and provides them with technological inspiration.

So the fat man doesn't understand anything and makes blind comparisons and analyzes, which is just making trouble.

"But I still can't figure it out. If the compound-eyed ones are as ruthless as you say, Master, they should be destroyed one by one. In ancient times, they should have caused trouble for us."

Chen Feng continued to roll his eyes wildly, "Then let me ask you, do the gorillas in our zoo now use stones to hit walnuts?"

Fatty: "Yes."

"Look, gorillas have initially mastered the use of tools. Suppose that from now on, humans evaporate from the earth. Do you think it is possible for gorillas to evolve their own writing in a million years, and become the earth in a few million years? The next civilization on earth?”

This question was a little complicated for Ou Junlang. He thought for about ten seconds, "It's very possible."

"That's right. We know the gorilla has a chance to replace us, so why do we let it exist?"

Fatty: "Too weak and unable to pose a substantial threat to us? Is everything under our control?"

"But if one day the gorillas learn to save fire and use wooden skewers to grill meat and eat cooked food, and then they also invent their own writing, using pictograms to record what kind of meat is delicious and how cooked it should be. Then they also What will we think when we carve marks on stones to record the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and learn to use sticks and stones to clear the land and plant the seeds we saved last year?”

Fatty Ou said decisively: "I will panic to death and quickly make a difficult decision."

Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "That's right."

"Then why can't two civilizations coexist? We are stronger, so we should take care of the weak. If there is a chance in the future, we can go out, and land, energy, etc. will not be a problem. By then we will not Mind that gorillas invented writing.”

Ryan couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him on the head, "Because there is inevitable aesthetic and reproductive racial segregation between humans and gorillas. If we really go out first and the colonies are filled with Orion arms, then we can let it go Gorillas are developing, but haven’t we not stepped out yet?”

Fatty finally understood that everything should be done in stages.

Ryan and Chen Feng ignored these idiots and simply chatted about the future.

Ryan tried his best to avoid exploring the principles, but he still couldn't help but wonder about the technologies that were beyond his reach in all aspects of human life in the future.

Especially when he heard that Mercury had turned into the extremely huge Star Frontier Fortress, Ryan was even more amazed and sighed: "If Mercury was also conscious, he would definitely feel that he was wronged. Our descendants are too greedy."

Chen Feng chuckled, "Don't talk about others. Think about it for yourself who should be blamed for this?"

Ryan thought about the microwave power transmission and ultra-high-efficiency solar panels he was preparing to develop, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "That's right, blame me."

The fat man really didn't understand, so he left in despair.

Ryan continued to talk with great interest: "What do you mean, the Dyson Cloud was built many years after my death, right?"

"right."

"Oh, I'm really unwilling to do so. Is there any way to make our pace go faster so that I can see that day in my lifetime? I also want to die in space like you."

Chen Feng thought for a while before saying: "Continuing to accelerate the process of civilization is indeed my goal. As for whether what you said can be achieved, it is difficult to say."

Ryan suddenly became extremely serious, "Then we must seriously solve a big problem."

Chen Feng knew what he was talking about.

It is necessary to resolve the conflict between the two major ideologies in today's world, eliminate injustice and exploitation at a faster speed, and speed up the speed at which human beings are twisted into one rope.

Of course, this matter is also mentioned in the "Plan".

The way "Plan" achieves the unification of the community with a shared future is to use his personal popularity to overwhelm everything and ultimately eliminate strong differences.

Chen Feng didn't quite agree with this central idea.

He believed that if he really did this, what awaited him in the thirty-first century would no longer be a cocoon of thoughts, but a cage.
