Chapter 401 Abnormal technological development
"The technological level of some parts of this world is at least five revolutions different from the world I was born in. For example, this is low-light environment planting technology for edible crops. I searched the content and found that their research level is still 6000 years old in our world. The level before. Of course, Parvatiga does not have similar agricultural technology at all, so there is no comparison.”

"Don't we have any foundation at all?" The Shadow Chasers lowered their heads and pondered in the invisible state.

"Indeed, not because there is no need for research and development." Wei didn't know how to take care of human emotions and said straightforwardly, "Similar technologies are often used in projects to make the planet livable, and Parvati added We don’t even have aerospace technology, so there is no need for this kind of research. Moreover, there are gods in Parvatiga. Even if it is really in a low-light environment, with the protection of gods, crops can still get good yields. Similar research is more It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”

"Tsk, what is the habitable transformation of the planet?" Shuer felt that the knowledge in his head was like an idiot in front of Wei.

"It's hard to explain to you, because in Parvatiga's universe, most of the planets are the bodies of gods, and the stars you see at night are the light of the kingdom of gods, so it's hard for you to understand the meaning of planet transformation. . In short, in a world without gods, the universe...the void is filled with countless planets like Parvatiga, some of which are suitable for intelligent creatures in the universe to live in, but those are just special cases. Most of the planets are environmental Extremely harsh and completely uninhabitable. If intelligent creatures need to expand outwards and must use these harsh planets, they must be transformed before they can be used."

"Well, I probably understand." As expected of an excellent scholar, Mia was the first to understand Wei's description, "It is to artificially create a survivable environment."

"Yes, Sir Mia, that's what I mean. I searched all the contents of the city network, and most of the contents related to livable transformation are at the same level."

"Is it just five revolutions different from you?"

"Yes, five times, which is very strange, because statistics show that if the world wants to catch up with ours, it will take at least 1 years of full-scale breakthrough."

"It's not surprising." Xiure didn't understand what Wei was thinking. "This can only mean that their technological level is relatively low, so they can only be trapped on the planet and compete with machines for the little living space left. ."

"Your Excellency, Commander, you don't understand. It's really strange." Wei was unmoved and emphasized, "Their level of planet transformation is very low (ahem), it is indeed very low, Your Excellency, Commander, but some of them The level of science and technology is astonishingly high. Including propulsion technology and freezing technology, the level of most technologies is only one or two revolutions away from our world."

"That is to say, there is still a lot of difference."

"Yes, all technologies in this world lag behind the world where I was born, including the research on artificial intelligence. Because of this, I can easily sneak into the city network and quickly convert data formats. However, the gap is compared to other technologies It’s much smaller in terms of content, at least it’s not completely unusable for me.”

"Oh? Even if they can transmit souls to the city network, they can't compare to your level?"

"It's not as good as similar technology, which was implemented in our world as early as 500 years ago, but was quickly abandoned because this technology was meaningless. The digitalized soul can indeed remain pure Rationality, but pure rationality has completely lost the characteristics of life. Just like me, although I am artificial, I can also be regarded as a template after the soul is digitized. I cannot be counted as an intelligent creature at all, not even a living thing. If not, it can only be an artificial intelligence."

Xiu Er sighed, Wei was indeed extremely rational, and even evaluated herself so ruthlessly.However, he always felt that an existence like Wei was different from the absolutely rational artificial soul she said, otherwise it would be impossible to explain her several humanized behaviors.

Of course, Xiure was just thinking about it in his mind and didn't argue with Wei. There was no need, so he just sighed and changed the subject: "Maybe it's what you said, but I still don't understand. What's so strange about it?" What. Unbalanced development of science and technology? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Some people are stronger and some are faster. There will always be a preference.”

"Your Excellency, Commander, the development of science and technology should be promoted in a two-dimensional manner. A breakthrough in the technological revolution will inevitably lead to a leap forward in all technologies of the entire civilization. It is difficult to achieve a breakthrough on the one hand, but on the other hand it will remain the same. The phenomenon of the first stage, even if there is such a special case, is nothing more than a difference of one technological revolution, and will never be like the difference of three or four technological revolutions in this world."

"For example, it's like a warrior wearing a powerful personal battle armor, but still holding the most primitive stone hammer and stone ax to fight with people. Commander, do you think this is normal?" "Okay, it is indeed a bit contrary. And." After imagining the scene described by Wei, Xiuer could only smile bitterly, "There must be a deep-seated reason for a phenomenon that shouldn't have occurred. For example, someone deliberately concealed a higher-level technology?"

"It's not so easy to hide. Even if a certain aspect of high-level technology is hidden, as long as there are still breakthrough points, the development trend of planar technology will be automatically corrected, and the shortcomings can be made up soon, but this world is just the opposite. Not only have the shortcomings not been made up, the gap has only widened.”

"Well, that's right. If someone really hides higher-level technology, they don't need to study it anymore. They don't need to devote most of their energy to scientific research and exchange the results for a tilt in resource allocation like they do now."

"There is another anomaly, Commander." Anyway, Wei couldn't detect Shuer's headache expression, so she went on reporting on her own, "The level of aerospace in this world is very high, and it is only one technology behind us. revolution."

"Well, the president of the black market said before that they have explored the void very deeply and are sure that there are no other intelligent creatures, so they don't believe that we are intelligent creatures from other planets." Shuer nodded subconsciously, but immediately Others couldn't see the reaction, so they could only smile to themselves and said, "Of course, I can't understand what level this is. Is there any problem?"

"Actually, Your Excellency, Commander, has already mentioned the problem. In our original world, excluding insects, several powerful civilizations have similar aerospace levels, and can already explore most of the universe, and can use some unique rules. Rapidly travel between two extremely distant planets. Although this world is different from ours, it is by no means trapped on one planet. Logically speaking, they should have controlled most of the planets in the universe thousands of years ago Even if there is no habitable transformation, we should be able to find some rare habitable planets for colonization, since there are "

"Hmm, could it be that because of the mechanical apocalypse, they don't have enough resources to make tools for outward expansion?" Mirity on the side guessed, "I look at the information about your world, any super ship , it will consume a lot of resources, maybe they can’t afford it.”

"It's illogical, because it's only been a few decades since the end of the machine." Before Wei could speak, Xiu Er denied the necromancer's judgment, "They can't wait until the end of the machine before trying to create If ships could be built, they would have been built long ago, unless... these technologies have been developed in the past few decades?"

"Impossible, Commander, no matter how talented a race is, it is impossible to produce such a large number of scientific and technological breakthroughs in just a few decades. These must be the results of long-term accumulation."

"It's indeed strange." Shuuer held his chin and thought, "Could it be that they have actually started to expand outwards a long time ago, but due to the mechanical apocalypse, all other colonial planets fell, leaving only this one Planet?"

"It's very difficult, Your Excellency, because their network technology is not enough to support interstellar information transmission. Even if a mechanical apocalypse breaks out on this planet, it will not affect other planets."

"That is to say, it is very possible that other planets are still under human control?" Shuer frowned and muttered, "This is interesting. Why don't people on other planets counterattack? Maybe it's because machines have an absolute advantage. , the struggling human beings have no chance to send a distress message to the outside world? Well, if you think about it this way, is it possible to climb the Tower of Babel and become a hero, just like the human forces on other planets asking for help?"

"There is a greater possibility, Your Excellency Commander. In fact, the machinery has been lurking for many years and has already spread to other planets through interstellar travel. When the mechanical apocalypse breaks out, the machinery on all planets will attack at the same time. It led to the complete destruction of human power, leaving only this one place that survived. This can also explain why the level of technology related to livable transformation and people's livelihood is so low. After all, machines can adapt to most planets, so they can be used It’s no longer about livable renovation and technology for people’s livelihood.”

"Yeah." This was Delia's voice. I don't know if she was worried about these shadow chasers, but the girl still plucked up the courage to follow, and she never made a sound. Now after hearing Wei's words, she finally couldn't calm down and made a short exclaimed.No wonder she was nervous. If Wei's hypothesis was true, then climbing to the Tower of Babel to ask for help would lose its original meaning, and her dream would become worthless.

Of course, everything is just speculation. It is not ruled out that everyone has guessed wrong. The Tower of Babel has other uses and can indeed change the fate of the planet. As for the truth, it can only be revealed after climbing the Tower of Babel. "
