Chapter 701 Critical Civilization
Liu Peiqiang pursed his lips.
There are many things that the coalition government wants, and only MOSS knows what they are specifically. In order to avoid information leakage, MOSS has deleted himself.
However, as the highest person in charge of this operation, Liu Peiqiang also knows a little.
"Knowledge about the nature of the universe." He said in a deep voice.
Zeno, a famous philosopher in ancient Greece, once said: The larger the known circle, the larger the unknown circle.
For low-level civilizations, this sentence is applicable.
Scientists in the 19th century believed that the edifice of physics had been basically completed, and only some decorative work remained. At that time, they believed that there were only two dark clouds in the field of physics that had not been solved.
One dark cloud appeared in the wave theory of light.
The other dark cloud appeared in the Maxwell-Boltzmann theory of energy equipartition.
After more than a hundred years of efforts by later scientists, by the 21st century, the dark clouds covering the edifice of physics had increased from two to sixty-two, including twenty-eight pure theoretical clouds and thirty-four clouds with scientific explanations but lack of reasonable evidence.
With the further development of civilization, some dark clouds will dissipate, but more dark clouds will follow.
The harder scientists work, the more clouds there are.
This confirms Zeno's famous saying
However, for many advanced civilizations, this sentence is not applicable.
Because knowledge is limited after all, advanced civilizations will eventually master most of it after hundreds of millions of years.
The coalition government has reached this point.
For the coalition government, except for the knowledge about the nature of the universe, the entire physics is already clear and there is no haze.
However, it is this cloud about the nature of the universe that has become the boundary between omniscience and limited omniscience.
"We only have one kind of knowledge about the nature of the universe."
The divine civilization said frankly: "This knowledge is very valuable. We will not use it to exchange this special element. You can make another request."
The special element that can move ultra-long distances in the three-dimensional universe is indeed precious, but compared with the knowledge about the nature of the universe, it seems slightly insufficient.
The divine civilization is not completely without the means of ultra-long-distance movement.
Even if there is no such thing, for the Divine Civilization, He can slowly float to any place He wants to go at the speed of light. Anyway, He is powerful enough and has no lifespan constraints.
Liu Peiqiang shook his head and said firmly: "Except for the exploration of the essence of the universe, my civilization is not interested in anything else."
Divine Civilization looked at Liu Peiqiang's expression.
He had never met a human, so he could not guess Liu Peiqiang's thoughts from his expression.
But Liu Peiqiang's words made him realize that the United Government must be a critical civilization standing on the boundary between limited omniscience and omniscience, a powerful civilization comparable to Him.
"We can exchange knowledge." Divine Civilization said slowly, "After 2 billion years of tireless exploration, we have collected and pieced together the picture of the birth of the universe from the black hole. If you have other essential information, we can exchange."
The picture of the birth of the universe?
Liu Peiqiang raised his eyebrows. He was not a scientist and was not sure whether the picture of the birth of the universe was the knowledge needed by the United Government.
"We have another essential information." Liu Peiqiang paused, "but we have to wait for my civilization to come here, and the governors and scientists of our civilization will decide whether to trade."
Knowing the scene at the beginning of the universe does not seem to help scientific and technological progress.
But the knowledge of making infinite gems mastered by the United Government can really help a civilization gain powerful power.
Liu Peiqiang felt that this deal was not very cost-effective.
"Okay." The divine civilization nodded, and then stood still, like a statue.
Liu Peiqiang got up from his chair.
He walked to the door of the command room, and before he could operate it manually, the door opened automatically.
Obviously, the divine civilization has controlled the spacecraft.
Liu Peiqiang walked out of the command room without caring. He came to the cafeteria, and the chef robot came to him as usual and asked him what he wanted to eat.
"Kung Pao Chicken, Eight Treasure Porridge, Rice."
"Thank you."
Liu Peiqiang listened to the sound of the oil pan and felt relieved.
Although he speculated that the divine civilization would not rashly harm him, it was hard to guarantee that the divine civilization was used to being domineering in the universe and did not care about the United Government behind him, and killed him to vent their anger.
Now that the communication was completed, Liu Peiqiang felt safe, and he finally let go of his heart.
The next step was to wait for the large force of the United Government.
Although the MOSS on his spaceship was deleted, there was still MOSS on the escape pod, and the Earth consciousness could also sense what was happening here.
It would not be long before the Pioneer, which the United Government had spent a lot of effort to build, would come to rescue him.
"The dishes you ordered are all here."
"Please enjoy."
The chef robot placed the steaming food in front of Liu Peiqiang.
Liu Peiqiang picked up a peanut from the Kung Pao Chicken and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour sauce mixed with the juice of the fried peanuts rubbed his taste buds, and his face showed a satisfied expression.
A beam of light appeared in front of him.
This beam of light quickly condensed into the appearance of the divine civilization, and He had a pair of chopsticks in His hand.
The divine civilization has reached a superb level in the application of the mass-energy conversion equation. Not only can it perform remote mass-energy conversion without the machine, but it is also extremely smooth.
When Liu Peiqiang reacted, the divine civilization's chopsticks had already reached into the plate.
Of course, he didn't mind it.
"How does it taste?" Liu Peiqiang asked curiously, "Does it suit your taste?"
The divine civilization nodded: "It tastes good, but if some dark matter and four-dimensional fragments can be added to it, it will be more in line with our taste."
Liu Peiqiang smiled.
The divine civilization has come all the way from the ten-dimensional era. To Him, dark matter and four-dimensional fragments may be sugar and cookie crumbs.
"Chef, I have guests."
Liu Peiqiang ordered the chef robot: "Add another bowl of rice, a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, a dish of boiled pork slices, and a bottle of white wine!"
"Okay, no problem." The chef robot replied with a smile.
A few minutes later, the wine and food were served.
"What does your civilization think of art?" The divine civilization asked Liu Peiqiang while tasting the earth's delicacies, and the voice came from His body.
"Our civilization has many artists." Liu Peiqiang smiled.
According to the information he obtained from the Singer Civilization, the God Civilization is a civilization that is keen on collecting artworks and is also a cosmic master of appreciating art.
"Oh?" The God Civilization asked again, "What forms of art do you have?" (End of this chapter)
