Beneath Deep Space

All of the above are ambitious plans that have not yet been realized. Whether it can be realized is unknown...but without ambition and fantasy, there is no way to become a truly high-level civilization. Today's technological development has become increasingly difficult, and even smarter transhuman scientists feel a sense of stagnation.

Since the birth of interstellar civilization, it has been a dangerous process of retreat if it does not advance.

Because there are too many resources and external pressure is not too high, fallen civilizations abound. Summarized in sociological terms, it can be called the “involution” process of interstellar civilization.

In the Earth Age, a reporter once interviewed a boy herding sheep and left behind this classic conversation:

"Why herd sheep?"

"To sell for money."

"What do you sell for money?"

"Get a wife."

"What do you do with a wife?"

"Having a baby."

"Why have children?"

"Herding sheep." This dialogue vividly explains this "involution" phenomenon.

The same is true for interstellar civilizations. With a relaxed environment and no pressure for survival, coupled with the difficulties in technological development, a civilization will gradually tend to stay in a state of reincarnation with simple repetition and no progress for a long time. This state is the easiest and most stable for the entire civilization. If no external force intervenes, it will continue to exist like this.

But Yu Yifeng doesn't want the new humanity to degenerate and become a boring civilization that enjoys material things all day long and repeats itself every day.

"You think, can it be done? Especially regarding the auxiliary brain."

The sun was just right, so Yu Yifeng asked Lily Zi beside him.

The sunlight at this time is a real star, making people feel particularly comfortable. The high glass cover in the sky seemed to be invisible, and no trace could be seen.

"I don't know. We can't imagine the technology four or five hundred years from now. Our talents have already grown in size, and many geniuses have emerged from the following generations..."

"But..." Yu Yifeng said: "I always feel that this is our last chance. Once we fail, these hundreds of years will be in vain, which is equivalent to not having much development. Our civilization There will not be enough will to climb these peaks."

Yuriko smiled slightly: "Anyway, even if it's in vain, we have to go on, right?"

"Yes. We have to keep going, and keep going firmly..."

…

One month later, Pangu has left this planet with natural boiling water and headed towards the Southern Cross Cantilever, close to the galactic center...

Time passes quickly, it always flows firmly before, and there is no possibility of going back.

The ancient universe is always monotonous. From a macro perspective, it is more peaceful than a pool of stagnant water. In the Milky Way, the frequency of supernovae explosions is about once every fifty years. They shine briefly for a while, only lighting up a small area, and then go quiet again.

In most cases, the entire galaxy just rotates quietly, as if everything will grow old naturally.

The vast majority of low-level civilizations live in a state of intoxication in their own homes, unable to even step out of the planet's gate.

Even most of the interstellar civilizations that have stepped out of the gate are gradually decaying and aging in this comfort...

Increase in entropy is an eternal theme. Once each civilization stagnates, it will not have much possibility of progress... From this perspective, if the universe is a dark forest, then everyone may be more active and proactive in climbing. science and technology.

Time passed year by year, and Pangu did not encounter many special events. Even during the voyage, we have not encountered any interstellar civilization.

Speaking of which, this phenomenon is very normal. There are only two to three thousand interstellar civilizations in the Milky Way, spread over an area of ​​more than 100,000 light-years. How can they be encountered so easily?

According to the current scientific and technological strength of the new humanity, as long as they don't seek death and boldly run near supernovae and black holes, there won't be much danger.

Walking and stopping along the way is really like traveling under the stars.

The universalization of life adds a little color to the entire journey to the stars... just a little more color.

Every time they pass by a living planet, people will collect some biological specimens. The universe is so big and there are so many planets, there will always be some weird races born.

For example, a worm called the "king worm" was discovered on a certain planet. Its biological structure will undergo a series of changes as its host changes. Its genetic material seems to have been pieced together haphazardly by many organisms.

This species may have been randomly transformed by a low-level civilization in some experiments, but unexpectedly it has very strong parasitic and offensive capabilities.

This has resulted in a large number of species on this planet, almost all of which are parasitized by king insects!

"Of course, this creature doesn't have much research value, it's just a coincidence."

Sometimes, when people discover certain intelligent races, they will also collect some biological specimens.

For scientists, the value of intelligent life is higher than that of parasites. At least they can study the way in which intelligence is born in the brain... With current biotechnology, only a few activated cells are enough. It is not difficult to clone an original model. .

But this kind of journey is boring in most cases. In many cases, it takes several years to reach the next planet. However, I found that the species there had little scientific research value, and over time, they gradually became numb.

At the current stage of the new humanity, there are not many things worth being surprised by...

Later in the voyage, people even discovered a Homo erectus lineage called "Geyingsa Homo" on the edge of the Orion cantilever. This planet finally aroused widespread interest among scientists.

"Geyingsa people" look very similar to humans, and their living environment is also quite similar!

During this period of sailing, many new members were born among the new humans, so Yu Yifeng specially arranged for these new members to go to this planet for social experience, just like during the Aristocrat 2 period...

Experiencing life on an indigenous planet, experiencing some of the dark sides, and feeling the complex laws of the jungle are indeed beneficial to human growth.

On the other hand, staying near Ge Yingsa Star also has a hidden but important purpose... to assist in brain research!

The brain structure of Ge Yingsa people is very, very similar to that of humans!

In the new human civilization, human cloning technology is prohibited by law, even for former earthlings. But without real experiments, this technology is always in the theoretical stage.

The discovery of "Ge Yingsa Man" provides a good experimental subject for auxiliary brain research.

As a result, the problem comes again. When morality and science are opposed, a series of contradictions will always appear.

In particular, the moral system of Noah's society is highly developed. Those great scientists naturally have their own moral concepts and a solid world view from their own height. For the sake of scientific knowledge, treating another civilization as an experimental subject. Such bloody in vivo experiments must be carried out while they are still alive. It is really beyond the ability of normal people to accept.

Even if these works are hidden from the vast majority of the public, a considerable number of biologists still express a certain degree of opposition.

Human sympathy is a very complex emotion, especially in this kind of experiment with a high probability of death, the subject is a creature that is very similar to humans...

One moment, they were on their own planet, playing with their wives and daughters, and the next moment they were kidnapped by soldiers and put on the operating table. Halfway through the experiment, they died... People will always associate this kind of tragic experience with themselves, And brought about a series of disgust. Even great scientists are no exception...

"A bunch of holy mothers!" Dr. Rimbaud, who was a bit more radical, heard about this and cursed in front of Yu Yifeng.

After being a member of the think tank for so many years, he basically doesn't shy away from saying what he has to say.

"But we must conduct this kind of experiment. Especially, in three hundred years, our theory has made a series of breakthroughs, and we need experiments to verify it! This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I know..." Yu Yifeng sighed, but the scientists were unwilling. Could they still impose administrative orders?

The best thing is for Yu Yifeng to come up with a more compromise plan: secretly take those "Geyingsa people" who are about to die due to accidents and use them as test subjects.

They are all going to die anyway, and if they are used as experiments, they might be able to survive and be a blessing in disguise!

From killing people to saving people, all scientists are suddenly able to accept it...

I sat all day yesterday and didn't type a few words... Suddenly I felt that the outline needed to be changed.

It seems better to end with the stage where the new humanity has overcome the weak barriers.

Of course, if we overcome weak barriers, what kind of war will we fight... So the outline needs to be changed.

Because of Kavin’s serious relationship, I won’t update this tonight, sorry for that.
