Chapter 263
Careful analysis can reveal some obvious reaction forces. For example, there are a large number of medicine manufacturers. Manufacturing medicine by themselves is a matter of saving the dying and healing the wounded. They can work happily for it, but now it has become a dirty and bad thing; another example is the soldier, guard home, defend the country. It is a noble thing, but to invade others for some productivity, it becomes some dirty thing.
Even if these workers will still implement government orders, over time, they will have doubts from the bottom of their hearts, which will lead to various social problems.
Even I can't help but start taking drugs, these are not impossible.
"The current population is too small, the society is clear, and the society is functioning well. If such problems really occur, the gains will not be worth the loss."
Up to this point, Professor Yamamoto can only helpless. He spread his hands on the ground, showing a wry smile. He just put forward a feasible conquest plan casually, it is two different things whether other people accept it or not. To be honest, he is still reluctant to accept this kind of research task!
Zhang Yuan slapped his hands and brought everyone's thoughts back: "So, just put aside the medicine proposal just now..."
" But everyone must remember that these messy medicines are deadly for some civilizations. Some cosmic civilizations will use them as a weapon."
"From a certain aspect, they It is more powerful than nuclear weapons. Once attached, it will penetrate into the bone marrow and spread like a virus. What it destroys is not the body, but... the spirit!"
"And according to the inference of the new civilization history, Some of the mediocre troughs are caused by this type of technology. I call this phenomenon: the phenomenon of technological self-destruction."
When talking about the topic of technological self-destruction, everyone changes Be more interested, not as heavy as before.
There are many potential factors for technological self-destruction. To make a concrete analogy, atomic energy, if used peacefully, will bring endless energy, and if used peacefully, it can easily destroy the entire world.
Fortunately, the use of atomic energy is within the scope of human wisdom, so it does not destroy the world.
"But I believe that the universe is so big, there must be a stupid civilization that destroyed itself because of the invention of a nuclear bomb..."
According to Murphy's law, if things might go bad No matter how small this probability is, it will always happen. The starry sky is so vast, billions of billions of galaxies, enough to accommodate all kinds of small probability events.
In other words, in the vast universe, there is a high probability that there will be civilizations that have become enthusiastic about the emergence of nuclear bombs and completely destroy themselves.
Technology has always been a double-edged sword. Impossible only brings benefits, but no harm.
Zhang Yuan drew three horizontal lines on the screen, and wrote some words under these horizontal lines: "So, according to the current human science and technology, the total number of science and technology on the world It can be divided into three types: first is white, and the benefits to civilization as a whole outweigh the disadvantages."
For example, the Internet, although a large number of Internet addicted teenagers have been born, these guys are addicted to the Internet. All kinds of games and information, but in general, the Internet has greatly accelerated the connection between people and speeded up work efficiency. For civilization, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages;
For example, the car, the production process China will inevitably bring environmental pollution, but it facilitates people’s transportation and increases the transportation capacity of society.
These should be considered white technologies that are not controversial.
Second technology is red and can bring certain benefits, but it is not as friendly as white technology. If it is not restricted, it will bring huge disasters that are uncontrollable!
Of course there is third...black technology!
Black means that a civilization has no control over technology. Once it appears, it has a great probability of destroying the civilization, or causing the entire civilization to degenerate and no longer have the possibility of advancement.
"Due to the limitations of the times, the development of science and technology can be done by drawing lots and lotteries. We never know whether it is white, red or black before it is drawn. It is difficult to avoid this. The tendency to self-destruct."
The overwhelming majority technologies currently appearing are all white. They help mankind develop productivity and enable mankind to have a better life, from the Stone Age to the Great Interstellar Era.
The first red technology that mankind touched was the mass production of various chemical items, including various large-scale chemical weapons, and addictive medicine, especially the latter.
Like the Gliese civilization, if the whole people take drugs, the entire civilization will of course be hopeless, self-destruct, and no longer have the possibility of rising.
The second red technology is atomic energy, which allows mankind to master the power to make nuclear bombs, which can easily destroy mankind itself.
Because of the nuclear deterrence between countries, like walking a tightrope, the entire civilization is magically peaceful and peaceful, and a more long-lasting peace has been achieved.
The third red technology is life science and genetic science.
Gene belongs to the forbidden zone of life. Humans do not understand it as much as they know more about the universe. Random modification of genes can easily lead to the collapse of the entire system.
If there are specific superbugs, it would not be impossible to exterminate all mankind...
With the development of technology, all white technology has been extracted by lottery and appeared The probability of red technology will increase, and the probability of civilization self-destruction will be higher.
As for black technology, no one knows what it is for the time being.
Because once it appears, the entire civilization will quickly fall. In some sci-fi movies, it is nano-robots, strong artificial intelligence, and super microbes. People try to restrain the development of these technologies as much as possible trembling with fear. If these are really developed, no one can predict what the consequences will be. Maybe human beings will live better, or science and technology will directly destroy itself.
"From the perspective of the ending, for the Gliese civilization, these 13 universal factories are already an uncontrollable black technology for them."
"Stone tools The Gliese civilization of the era did not have enough ability to master the super-huge productivity of this "universal factory". The development of ***-like development led to the rapid decline of the entire civilization...including a series of oligarchs that followed. , Happiness element, etc. are all triggered by the universal factory, and the entire civilization does not have a strong structure to control the overall situation."
"So, there is no possibility of rising."
Listening to Zhang Yuan’s analysis, Li Zhendong standing aside suddenly interrupted and said: "Actually, I think red technology and black technology can be converted to each other..."
"Just like us humans, If you have a universal factory donated by interstellar civilization, it is basically impossible to be carried around, and it is also impossible for the whole people to take drugs..."
"Because this kind of disastrous history has already happened in our history. Event, everyone knows the consequences."
"But the Gliese civilization does not know that their world has no natural addictive substances at all, and no similar events have occurred. Their scientific research capabilities It’s rotten, and I don’t want to understand it, so I have no ability to resist this kind of incident..."
"The quality of technology is related to the internal strength of civilization itself. The dangerous boundary between red and black, It may be related to a civilization’s vision, ideology, and civilization level. If you already know this, you can actually avoid this kind of tragedy."
There was silence in the Conference Hall for a while, Li Zhendong said That's right.
But, is there anything in the universe that is common to other civilizations, but is deadly for mankind? For example, some kind of wave? Some kind of magnetic field?
Li Zhendong continued: "So, if there is an interstellar court, the second interstellar civilization, it is actually guilty. Knowing that the other party can’t afford such a large amount of productivity, it’s better to give it to With these things, they are equivalent to let the Geglizi people commit suicide! I strongly doubt their intentions!"
Zhang Yuan said: "Your logic is a little bit robber. I kindly give you a Saber, let you use this knife to develop yourself. If you accidentally stabbed yourself to death, can you blame me for not reminding you in advance? You can only blame yourself for being stupid!"
"Maybe in that interstellar In the eyes of civilization, the universal factory is at most ordinary goods, not black technology at all."
"No, it is not." Li Zhendong waved his hand: "What if I am only two or three years old? When the probability of stabbing myself, I still have to blame the person who gave me the knife, right?"
Suddenly, one of the deputy captains said solemnly, "In fact, you guys The logic is wrong. Is our current perspective too condescending and too conceited? Maybe most individuals in the Gliese civilization think that their living conditions are very good?"
" They believe that the whole meaning of life is for enjoyment and to be able to spend in joy. What's wrong with it! Even every individual thinks so, and enjoyment itself is their pursuit."
"What we think is bad, depraved, and perverted, but what we think. We think that a civilization is worthy of sympathy as long as it does not advance. So we have pity on them and pity on them."
"But , Do those Pangolin need it? No. The sober people in Goer City are just a small part of a civilization... Our subconscious superiority, and even want to correct each other, is the most worthy of attention. Matter!"
Yes, everyone was taken aback.
What kind of capital does human beings have to be arrogant?
Human beings are so weak, in their current state, if a war really breaks out, they may not have been able to fight the Gliese civilization.
These Pangolins are intelligent lives. They have their own culture and ideas. They are different from the any cat or dog on Earth. They are not the kind that humans play with.
The atmosphere will be a bit serious for a while, Li Zhendong laughed dryly: "Everyone, in diplomacy, we are still very humble, basically did not make such low-level mistakes, is it not an internal discussion? Let’s talk about it. It doesn’t matter how bad the other party’s ideology is."
He suddenly thought of something and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "So, do you think there is such a thing in the universe? Kind of... a civilization that loves MLM's own values? I like to brainwash people into their own values."
Another person quickly replied: "There must be...this kind of assimilation of other people's consciousness The form of civilization must be extremely powerful, and it may become bigger and bigger like a snowball, like a cult! There are also impossible law enforcement organizations in the universe that do not allow random preaching and so on."
"Hope Let's not encounter this kind of civilization...hey."
The ideological struggle, arguably the most sensitive thing, is like this on Earth, and on the stars, so in theory!
Everyone on Earth has a lifestyle of everybody, and every nation has every nation’s beliefs.
A large part of the quarrel between husbands and wives is due to the inconsistency of the three views. The struggle between countries is not only an economic struggle, but also an ideological struggle.
If you want to impose your own values on others, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of contradictions and resistance.
There are a lot of contradictions, religious contradictions, territorial disputes, even more how the starry sky is formed in such a small corner of Earth.
"...This kind of civilization that can forcibly promote its own values must have a very powerful assimilation ability. But if it cannot be far ahead of other civilizations, it will inevitably be wiped out in the bleak starry sky."
Everyone discussed a subconsciously morphological aspect, including some religious wars that happened on Earth, etiquette and customs, etc. In fact, humans themselves also have a strong tendency to try to assimilate others.
However, if alien civilizations in this area are encountered, they can only be said to be unlucky for humans.
Either be assimilated or resist. Even culture has been assimilated, can human civilization be said to be human civilization? So you can only live and die, fight happily.
"If you don't meet it, you can only say that it is unfounded and worrying."
So everyone just used it as a kind of fun talk. Everyone gave full play to their brains and imagined all kinds of hypocritical, hospitable, cunning, honest, sentimental, or alien ideologies similar to human civilization, and this matter also passed.
Only in the future exchanges, we need to be more cautious and energetic.
Next, there is one last thing that is more serious.
Zhang Yuan and Li Zhendong looked at each other. This is what they had discussed in private for a long time between diplomatic visits.
Finally, Zhang Yuan will ask everyone.
"Everyone, continue the topic just now, that is, whether the actions of the two interstellar civilizations are in return for kindness or malice."
"Anything Behaviors and actions have their inherent motives, including humans, and should also include interstellar civilization. We can boldly assume that these two interstellar civilizations are rational and can be analyzed using our human logic."
"According to the historical records of the Gliese civilization, analyzing the two interstellar civilizations they encountered can determine their specific motives and ideologies... it will be of great benefit to our future interstellar diplomacy! "
