Road to science and technology

"O God, you are so great, you are supreme, come and guide your people!"

"The old god is about to pass away, and the great new god has come here. He points out our mistakes. We are devout people who kneel at the feet of the new god, servants of the great new god!"

In the days that followed, a new sect emerged among the people of the sulfur-based civilization, which was the New God Sect. Because of Yue Yuanzhou's abnormal rectangular shape, they regarded him as the new god who guided the sulfur-based civilization.

"New God, our village has not had acid rain for almost three years. Please listen to our sincere prayers and let there be acid rain!" This is what the ignorant villagers shouted.

"By the new gods, the Pythagorean theorem should be beautiful. The power of 2.021 is so rough that it cannot be the correct answer. Your school actually uses textbooks to educate my descendants. I will sue you!" This is a belief! New God parents give old school rants.

Due to the emergence of the cuboid, two completely different schools of thought began to appear within the sulfur-based civilization.

One is a group of people who call themselves futurists. They believe that the aliens’ answer is correct and that the 15,000-year scientific development history of sulfur-based civilization is wrong.

The other one is called the truth sect by the people on the purple planet. People of this sect insist that the scientific development history of 15,000 civilizations is correct and the aliens are wrong.

The emergence of these two schools of thought has resulted in two versions of mathematics textbooks for sulfur-based civilizations.

But they have a profound impact on the development process of sulfur-based civilization now and in the future.

Not to mention the future, right now, the sulfur-based civilization's national form has quietly changed from its internal thoughts without even realizing it. The original concept of country gradually faded away, and was replaced by two other types of people, one was the new hypotenuse squared, and the other was those who believed in the original hypotenuse 2.021th power.

Sulfur-based civilization explores in doubt.

None of them can convince anyone else, because one represents alien technology that is like a god, and the other represents measurement data.

The name sulfur-based civilization actually refers to itself as a sulfur-based civilization. It is not a sulfur-based civilization, but a long list of translations such as God, Great, Supreme, etc. It is just Yue Yuanzhou, as an observer, who translated it this way.

But now this observer is building his own battleship.

For Yue Yuanzhou, the reactions and choices of sulfur-based civilizations are all under surveillance.

When a civilization encounters an alien civilization, how its civilization develops is actually a good research topic.

Without Yue Yuanzhou's intervention, the most likely possibility for this civilization would be to regard areas with abnormal space-time curvature as normal and continue to develop like this.

Until they walked out of this star field, the spacecraft crashed.

Yue Yuanzhou now wants to know how big the inertia of this development is. The greater the development inertia of civilization, the smaller the potential value of civilization.

After all, the greater the development inertia, the greater the conservative trend of civilization, and the smaller the probability of this civilization accepting new ideas, which indirectly shows that this civilization has low potential.

Science and technology pay attention to innovation. Too much conservative power will only lead to the degradation of civilization.

Yue Yuanzhou's decision to leave this cuboid, which was the embodiment of Shenzhou civilization's technology, at a sulfur-based civilization was actually not without experimental considerations.

It takes some time to make a new car. During this period, Yue Yuanzhou can't let himself be idle!

This is one of the reasons for the placement of the cuboid this time.

Yue Yuanzhou is not short of time. He will slowly observe the reaction of this sulfur-based civilization, and then use these data to improve the Shenzhou civilization database.

These data will provide important evidence for the future Shenzhou civilization to measure the potential of other civilizations.

In fact, Yue Yuanzhou had long ago had a strategy for the Shenzhou civilization to deal with alien civilizations that connect the world. In short, it is an alternative dark forest.

If this civilization has great potential, then the Shenzhou civilization will observe this civilization. When this civilization is studying vacuum zero-point energy, the Shenzhou civilization will appear and give them a choice.

Needless to say, it goes without saying that the civilization that chooses not to develop on its own will be the Shenzhou Civilization, but the Shenzhou Civilization will definitely be very happy with the civilization that chooses to become a vassal.

After all, in the case of unilateral sharing of technology, a civilization that is a vassal of the Shenzhou Civilization can never surpass the Shenzhou Civilization.

Yue Yuanzhou plans to establish a set of civilization principles in the multiverse connected by the Shenzhou civilization, so there must be a civilization potential evaluation system.

For example, if a sulfur-based civilization does not choose to believe in cuboids in the future, it will be judged as a civilization below the passing line. If such a civilization continues to survive, it will be a waste of cosmic resources.

Yue Yuanzhou doesn't mind helping the universe.

If they choose to accept new things, or continue to develop with a skeptical attitude, then they will most likely be judged as a civilization above the passing line.

According to Yue Yuanzhou's vision, there are two final outcomes for such a civilization. One is to continue to develop under the supervision of the Shenzhou civilization until the vacuum zero-point energy is discovered, and then do multiple-choice questions.

Those who choose to join the Shenzhou Civilization Alliance will naturally have an unlimited future.

Those who choose to refuse will naturally face two-way foil greetings.

At Yue Yuanzhou's level, the biggest goal he has to consider is of course to make the Shenzhou civilization stand proudly in the world. To achieve this goal, he will naturally not be merciful to those civilizations that may become stumbling blocks in the future.

The value of sulfur-based civilization lies in this.

Yue Yuanzhou only looks at the general situation of civilization. As for some special individual thoughts, he can control and look at them, but it is not necessary.

The universe is vast and boundless, and the number of civilizations is as many as the sands of the Ganges.

It was impossible for Yue Yuanzhou to look at everyone.

For example, these two people in the current sulfur-based civilization, to be precise, they are husband and wife.

Within a sulfur-based civilization, it is actually different from humans. Here, women are the main body of society. They are larger and stronger, so they have been the dominant force in society since ancient times.

It is worth mentioning that sulfur-based life forms thrive.

Strictly speaking, they are not viviparous creatures, but a form similar to Trisolarans.

The reproduction method of Trisolarans is fusion reproduction, that is, when they combine with the opposite sex, the organic substances that make up them will merge into one, with two-thirds of the substances providing energy for biochemical reactions, and one-third of the cells completely completed Update, generate a new body.

The new body will divide into three to five young individuals, which are their offspring.

The same is roughly true for sulfur-based life. The difference is that they are fused together with sulfides.

But the two sulfur-based organisms that are about to merge into new life are actually two scientists, and the two beings are lying on what is tentatively called a bed.

What they were discussing was the Pythagorean Theorem.

The male sulfur-based lifeform leaned towards the female and said: "I believe in alien civilizations. They have technology like gods. They have no reason to deceive us, a civilization that has just flown out of its home planet."

"Yes, of course I believe it, otherwise we wouldn't be together." The female life closed her compound eyes, thought quietly for a while and continued: "But I am more willing to believe that this is what alien civilization uses to test us. , God gives us a choice.”

"Those who follow will live, those who go against will perish?!" The male creature sighed.

"It's not that serious. I think this is a game played by aliens. If you ask me, we should choose the aliens' answer."

"Who can say for sure?" The female wondered, "All the tests we have done over the years show that our data is correct. They are so rigorous that they won't believe it."

"Haha, it's funny to say that scientists who have always believed in materialism don't believe in the aliens' answers. They believe in their own measurement results more. But scientists with a certain theological background have no doubts about the aliens' answers. They think that It is God’s guidance to backward civilization!”

Listening to the words of the male life form, the female sulfur-based life form shook her head helplessly and said: "Actually, she is also very confused. On one hand, there are the measurement results displayed, and on the other hand, there are answers given by the aliens who are like gods.

If they mean well, then the answer should be correct, but not vice versa.

Even now, I am not afraid to tell you that the original reason why I believed in the aliens’ answers was actually because the results given by the aliens were so beautiful. The universe should be so beautiful, and such a simple formula is the truth of the universe. "

"Yes, beautiful, just like you!" the male sulfur-based life said faintly.

"You are more beautiful, come on, let us merge into one, regardless of each other!"

"This process is equally wonderful. Our efforts will be passed on to the next generation, and the hope of civilization is in the future!"

"Now too!"

The words ended here. From now on, the smell of hydrogen sulfide in this room became stronger, with a trace of sulfur dioxide, which is the sulfur-based gas of life and love.
