Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 377 Local Optimum and Global Optimum

Yu Yifeng thought of more things.

Comfortable, too comfortable!

Most people want to escape...

Since the explosion of the earth, humans have been forced to flee into the dangerous universe, first to the moon, then to Mars, and then to Nix. Almost every step can be described as an adventure...

If it were more than a hundred years ago, people would certainly argue about such a huge opportunity and challenge, but... the adventurists would definitely occupy the majority! Because people at that time needed to become stronger urgently, needed industry, and needed technology...

But now, with the development reaching the level of interstellar civilization, a kind of thinking called "comfort" gradually occupies people's minds. It's not just the soldiers who lack murderous aura, but also the government leaders who lack the spirit of adventure.

Yes, the government leaders are the same!

People no longer dare to take risks and don't want to take risks. They hope to live their lives in peace and stability.

Or, the inferior genetic philosophy of human beings is destined to this. From the genetic level, they have never been more noble than other K-level civilizations...

Human beings are united only because of some good luck, some adventures, and the right choices made in a certain period of time... and because of the legacy of another declining civilization, they barely crossed the Great Filter, that's all.

This nascent interstellar civilization is still too weak.

The quality of modern people has indeed improved, and even realized the ideal society in the minds of some sociologists. But invisibly, genetic philosophical theories such as "survival" and "reproduction" and "civilization entropy increase theory" continue to induce civilization to degenerate.

"People's lives are already good enough, why not maintain the status quo? Why take risks?"

This is... the inherent thinking of current civilization!

But the entropy increase theory stipulates that nothing in the universe is eternal...For a civilization, if it cannot move forward, it means that entropy has increased to the extreme and decay has begun, and it can only retreat.

Yu Yifeng was born as a special forces soldier. In the past, he was very sensitive to danger. Now... this kind of danger intuition has not appeared for more than a hundred years, which makes his perception of danger quite dull.

People are like this. Things that are not used will slowly degenerate. Even superhumans are no exception... The civilization composed of human individuals is also like this!

He silently felt the crisis in his heart and experienced this feeling that he had not felt for a long time.

"Danger... Danger... Uncomfortable... Very uneasy."

But for humans, this kind of uneasiness, this kind of crisis, is the driving force for progress! Will interstellar civilization advance infinitely?

Of course not!

Why are all the destroyer civilizations powerful? Perhaps, their genetic philosophy is also inferior... But they grew up in crises and wars!

Yu Yifeng seemed to have realized something, thinking that the new human civilization was very young, but it seemed a little old...

He savored the uneasiness in his heart...

Danger, very dangerous, hellish danger...

But this kind of danger feels a bit far away... It is not as strong as when you are on the verge of death...

"Could it be that it can still be controlled..."

Looking at the arguing crowd, Yu Yifeng suddenly made up his mind.

He raised his hand and everyone fell silent. Yu Yifeng said seriously, "You know... I'm scared. I'm scared that our risky actions will lead the entire civilization into the abyss of extinction!"

"But I'm also scared that if we make the seemingly correct choice of "escape" now, the entire civilization will become more cowardly and less willing to take risks in the process of development."

"Today's decision may be the key point in the development of civilization..."

"This trend... is like a snowball. After reaching a certain point, we want to change but can't... It's really difficult. It's like an avalanche, destroying everything that stands in the way."

"Is this a process of increasing entropy in civilization?"

The development of civilization is continuous and a complex chaotic problem. The impact of the same thing is not only now, but also in the distant future... Why did the sprouts of capitalism appear in the West, not the East? Perhaps there were signs thousands of years ago...

For an excellent leader, his goal is of course to find the global optimal solution to a complex problem. But due to the limitations of intelligence, people can often only find the local optimal solution. This algorithm is called a "greedy algorithm."

In layman's terms, it means taking one step at a time, and taking the step that is easy to take...

But such a simple and crude algorithm is unlikely to find the global optimal solution for a complex problem, but it is easy to fall into a dead end...

"Now, although we are sure of winning the bet, we dare not block it, although we have a very reasonable answer... Yes, running away is very correct, it seems very correct..."

"But this is a beginning of lack of courage. This kind of beginning is actually not formed in a day or two, but a year, two years, a hundred years of momentum..."

"This trend is affecting you, me, and everyone. In fact... it is caused by our finding the local optimal solution."

Seeing that Xu Yunjin still had something to say, Yu Yifeng looked at him and raised a finger: "Of course, adventure is not about committing suicide... Finding courage is not about staying here endlessly..."

"One month, we will stay here for one month! One month is not much time, if it doesn't work, we will leave!"

"Okay, this is my final decision!"

Just like that, Yu Yifeng was determined to continue to capture Gaia creatures here. The meeting room was almost silent, and everyone was thinking about what he said. If people run away now, it seems reasonable, but maybe thousands of years later, people will fall into endless regret.

Regret is today, humans are timid and run away!

Xu Yunjin wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Greed is an original sin, even interstellar civilizations can't get rid of this emotion.

And comfort is another original sin, which directly leads people to indulge in the ocean of material... A civilization that is increasingly lacking in courage will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the sea of ​​stars.

"In this case, our educational actions must be accelerated!" An expert suddenly said.

"We must use various methods to quickly capture the "Gaia creature" as soon as possible. If we can capture it and run away before the alien spacecraft arrives, it would be even better!"

Then, the meeting began to discuss some details, such as whether the Deep Space should be hidden as soon as possible, whether to make a large cloth to cover the Deep Space to reduce the possibility of being observed, etc.

The larger Titan spacecraft should also be recalled and hidden. It doesn't matter if the humans on the surface are too small, and the possibility of being discovered at the first time is very low...

In short, all kinds of actions are to reduce the possibility of being observed.

After the meeting, everyone scattered with a lot of work items and worried. According to the content of the meeting, people must hide all things that will lead to exposure as soon as possible.

And Yu Yifeng is preparing to land on the planet again from the Titan spacecraft and issue more instructions.

Although staying in the Deep Space is safer than staying on the planet, with so many people fighting on the front line, Yu Yifeng is still willing to stand on the front line and share the risks with them.

At this time, another young think tank member Xiao Yu hurriedly caught up: "Captain, I thought of another thing, please..."

"What do you mean?" Yu Yifeng opened the hatch of the ship and turned around to ask.

He was now feeling heavy in his heart. At least the decision to stay here was made by himself.

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "I think that although our chances of winning the bet are not small, they are not large either. It's about half and half... The decision is in the hands of the other party!"

"We don't know what means the more advanced interstellar civilization has. We can only know it through Hei's description... But Hei can't know everything in civilization..."

Yu Yifeng sighed, facing this young man, he said directly: "So, no strategy is absolutely safe. If we want to pursue absolute safety, we can only leave this planet now..."

"But risks and benefits are always proportional! You also heard what I just said. The benefits are not only Gaia creatures, but also the ideology of our entire civilization. We are too comfortable and will degenerate..."

There were no 5,000 new additions yesterday, and there will be only one update tonight-_-
