The end of technology.

"The end of science is theology?"

"If you understand it from the theological meaning given by your language, of course not. It is nothing more than the difference in the development path of civilization. The meaning given to gods by civilization in your era is not beyond human nature. Therefore, in your era of civilization, all descriptions of gods , It’s just a person with stronger abilities. It’s like you tried to understand my existence as a god just now, this is the limitation, of course I can understand and forgive your ignorance.”

"So what's the end of science?"

"The definition of science in your civilization is the study and summary of natural laws, and transforming natural laws into usable resources. So as long as the underlying rules are changing, scientific research is endless. Different developments stage, it is necessary to pursue different laws of development. Just like the god you mentioned just now, in the chaotic era at the beginning of the universe, it is suitable for the burst of individual savage power.

Their science is how to use the greater power.The former is as if you have summed up microcosmic and mathematical laws, created computers and networks, and made computing power a resource.The latter, like those gods that many of you believe in, by summarizing the laws of the operation of macro forces, create all kinds of things that your civilization calls magic weapons.

In short, unless there is a kind of wisdom that can clearly study all the constant cyclical laws, and can deduce all changes in the world from this, at that time, it will probably be considered the end of science.But if that kind of wisdom really touches this node, maybe the world will generate new rules. "

"Haven't even you touched the end node yet?"

"Haha, of course. That little toy of yours... Oh, no, it should be a cute artificial intelligence system, which stores the information of two or three universes, so you should understand that the nearly infinite universe in your eyes is not the only one , so that it is very difficult to touch that node. From my perspective, I cannot look through the endless universe, and I can only simulate and deduce possible unknown possibilities within the known range as much as possible.”

Ning Zi carefully savored the information revealed in the other party's language, and the deduction of the universe with March emerged in her mind.

The cosmic bubble theory is, of course, wrong.

The structure cannot be that simple, because the other party said before that the universe is an amorphous body similar to the Klein bottle, so even if there are multiple universes, the connection between these universes cannot be a separate one as calculated before. individuals and are connected by a medium space.

At this moment, Ning Zi probably understood what the other party meant.

He does not yet have the ability to detach from this universe to observe the universe, and correspondingly, he is temporarily unable to understand all the laws of the universe's operation.

"Actually, I have to admit that your earth civilization is very respectable. Because your mere hundreds of years of research history have confirmed that the absolute reference system does not exist this iron law. It took me a thousand years to think about it. solved this problem. This probably proves the respectability of social division of labor civilization.”

Ning Zi let out a breath, he was a little uncomfortable with this sudden compliment, and his mentality was different after all.Although he believes that the other party doesn't mean PUA, but the way of chatting aloofly is actually similar to PUA.

Fortunately, Ning Zi doesn't need to put all his thoughts on communicating with this unknown intelligent creature at this moment.At this time, he had already set his sights overboard.

At this time, the picture of those galaxies became clearer, and he could even see clearly that what connected the circle of huge planets was actually a chain of planets?
Because when the details are displayed more clearly, he can even see the undulating mountains on the chain, and a large area of ​​azure blue, which should be the sea.

The camera began to change angles constantly under the control of the other party, so that Ning Zi could see more clearly. This is the case on all four sides, mountains, oceans, and large plains. Presumably there should be life and life...

Before seeing these clearly, Ning Zi always thought that the connection between the planets was for the convenience of passage or the transmission of information.But obviously, that is also a world.

"Look, is it beyond your comprehension again? How could there be such a spectacle in the universe? Why are there such stars? What is the gravity system like? Is it beyond your common sense? In your words, the most basic mechanics The system has been turned upside down again, right?"

Ning Zi nodded silently.

His knowledge system has indeed been subverted again, even if only as a mathematician.Just what he saw, if he wants to explain it clearly, he probably needs to create some new theories.mathematical, physical...

It is hard to imagine that even a civilization that has been able to transform such a spectacle still dare not say that it has reached the end of science.

"This is normal. Different life forms and different methods of civilization inheritance will naturally lead to different results. There are many laws in the universe, and it is indeed difficult to explain clearly. Even if I am willing to use a more efficient way to combine what I know about the universe , Many laws about the world are given to you, and you, as the carrier of thoughts, cannot accept it.

It's like in your computer culture, the matching degree of hardware and software.With the advancement of computer hardware technology, larger hard disks, larger memory, and higher-performance CPUs can be produced to obtain better computing power and larger storage space.

Also as the carrier of earth civilization, human beings, your scientific research will also come to a standstill.Because when scientific research reaches a certain level, it will take too long to inherit the content of those subjects that have been researched. One day, the knowledge that human beings have mastered may take a genius to learn in a lifetime. This is stagnation. certain.

Of course, we are not far from plateauing yet.One is because the advantages of genetic evolution have not been completely exhausted. For example, you can already use some methods to prolong your lifespan and brain activity time, but it seems that there is still an upper limit for this.The second is that your social formation has found another way, which is to refine the disciplines and then divide and cooperate, which can greatly prolong the arrival of the stagnation period of scientific development.

But what is really meaningful is actually the evolution at the genetic level in the microcosm.When civilization enters a period of stagnation, in order to adapt to new challenges, genes will often start to be updated in leaps and bounds. The mutations accumulated over several generations may make the human brain evolve smarter and other aspects. Entering a vigorous development period, this is also a cycle.

Science advances, productivity leaps, technological development stagnates, and genetic evolution ushers in scientific progress again, productivity leaps, and then technological development stagnates again.Every cycle brings a civilization one step further.This is the most formal way of civilization evolution.

But I studied your history and you broke this normal cycle of civilization development.Of course, it's not just that, but also that little thing.Well, it's not just that little thing, well, I should respect it more, it's called March, right? "

"Meow..." Seeing that there was no way to escape, the kitten lying there obediently let out a soft cry.

The sound is very decent, very well-behaved.

"Well, look, this is a wonderful combination that I didn't expect. Your previous master gave you a mission, you chose the right guy, and then your new master made a stronger achievement than the previous master , and has even begun to try to modify the established rules of galaxy operation, which is indeed too surprising.

By the way, Ning Zi, you should still remember that you asked me a question just now, has the civilization in the universe been recorded all the time?If yes, how was it recorded?Do you remember how I answered it? "

Ning Zi glanced at the well-behaved Sanyue, frowned slightly, and then replied: "You answered in a very general way, and only said that you are traveling in both directions. Our genes, as well as the movement of the stars, are recorders."

"That's right, so when you start to change the internal operating system of a galaxy and start trying to move the trajectory of the planet to create a habitable zone suitable for humans under your leadership, it also means that you start to modify the imprint of civilization. This is It seems that your biotechnology has developed to the point where you can modify genes.

It is precisely because of this action that I began to notice you.And sent you that message.In other words, when this kind of technology began to appear, the intelligent life had already started to react its own will to your universe, and began to modify the established trajectory of this universe, which means that new changes have already begun.This is a very interesting thing. "

These words made Ning Zi's mind start to mess up.

He was noticed by this intelligent life because he took March and used Kuafu to modify the trajectory of a comet, causing the comet to hit Mars.

Can such a small action change the established trajectory of the entire universe?
You must know that the solar system is just an insignificant small galaxy that makes up the Milky Way.And the Milky Way is also extremely far away from the center of the universe. It is hard for Ning Zi to figure out how such a small movement can attract the attention of this advanced civilization.

"I know you can't understand, let me make an analogy in a way you can understand. Now you imagine the universe as a huge organism, well, it can be less huge, for example, this universe is you Well, the medium space is the neural network in your body, and this space is like the brain of the universe.

When you suddenly feel pain in your calf, you subconsciously look down, right?Then when you see a wasp lying on it, your brain's first reaction will tell you that you have been stung by a wasp.Of course, this is just a simple metaphor, do you understand? "

Ning Zi shook his head and said: "In fact, I can't understand it. I believe that with the size of the universe, the same thing happens at any time, even more violently. Stars collide, stars explode, and even black holes are formed. Relatively speaking, Attracting a tiny comet to hit Mars cannot be compared to a wasp stinging its calf, at most it is a small dust floating on the leg."

Soon, Ning Zi's doubts were answered: "No, no, the feeling of natural occurrence is different from that of non-natural occurrence. It's as if countless cells die in your body every moment, but you can't feel it at all. Yes. Because this is natural metabolism, your brain can of course also receive these messages, but because this kind of information is so frequent, it can automatically ignore it. This is not the same concept as unnatural harm at all.”

Ning Zi thought for a while, then nodded, agreeing with this explanation, but then pointed to the miraculous picture that was displayed in front of him at this time, and asked: "But it is obviously not formed naturally. "

"You are really a guy with a lot of problems. Of course this is not formed naturally, but since he is like this, of course there is a reason. After all, this involves a lot of deduction, well, you can understand this as the most special structure. star field...

Hey, forget it, it's far away again.I know you are full of curiosity about everything here, why don't you let the Kuafu find a suitable planet to land, we can talk about these issues more thoroughly in a better environment. "

Ning Zi opened his mouth slightly, and said with great doubts: "Landing? Then am I going to enter the hibernation chamber again? We are at least a few light-years away from the nearest planet, right? Without entering the medium space, I It is impossible to reach the nearest nearby planet in this lifetime."

"Haha, this is just your illusion. As I said, you have come to my hometown, and of course you can land at any time."

"How could it be an illusion? I can understand the light source information marked by the deep space telescope system..."

"So is there a possibility that the speed of light here is different from the speed of light you understand? As I said, the basic rules of the universe are not constant. Do you think there is a possibility that the speed of light in the star field outside Kuafu The speed of light is only 9937.98 kilometers per second?"

Ning Zi was completely stunned.

From 30 kilometers per second to [-] kilometers per second?
What kind of wonderful land is this?

Are the fundamental laws of the universe a joke?
"Okay, don't be so shocked. Of course it is only in this star field. Of course, if you want the speed of light to be the fixed value you measured, it is also possible, but that will cause a series of problems, such as what you just saw. All those living planets would be dead in no time.

So if you really want to know more, don't dwell on the scientific explanations of your civilization.The speed of light remains constant, but here it is only 9937.98 per second.Therefore, the data obtained by the equipment on the spacecraft is naturally wrong because of the wrong basic parameters.

But at the same time, because the material of your spaceship is very special, there will not be too much danger in this star field.Of course, the most important thing is that I temporarily took over the control of this spaceship.I think you would like to have a real meeting with me.Oh, and I'll have a mysterious person there too, and someone you've always wanted to meet but never met. "

Ning Zi didn't react, and subconsciously said, "Oh? I didn't even know there was such a person."

However, this time Sanyue seemed to have reacted, and yelled three times in a row: "Meow... Meow... Meow..."
