I, the savior of the earth

"I haven't paid much attention to the development of science and technology recently, because I have been on the front line against aliens, and I am also preparing for the establishment of a human federation. I am very busy with so many things." Su Mu said, " Now when I come to the front line of scientific and technological investigations, I feel that it is changing with each passing day. I did not expect that our human science and technology have reached this point."

Li Jianming said: "This is actually all thanks to you. Without you, human productivity would not have been greatly improved. Before the war, it was hard for me to imagine more than a billion people hiding in dungeons and producing Things, but enough to allow more than one billion people to live a life of luxury. Such a surge in productivity makes people feel like a dream.”

Su Mu said: "Then, can Qin's productivity meet the needs of the whole world?"

Li Jianming said: "This is not enough for the time being. After all, our Qin State has limited resources, but if technology is transferred, it is not difficult to use the resources of the earth to allow 70 billion people to live a luxurious life."

"It's really a beautiful era. If there were no aliens above our heads, all of us would have entered the Datong society." Su Mu murmured, "The journey of the great road is also, the world is for the public, select the virtuous and capable, and keep faith." Xiumu. An old man is not alone in kissing his relatives, not only in his sons..."

What Su Mu recited was a chapter in the Pre-Qin Confucian "Book of Rites", "The Journey of the Great Dao", which was the pursuit of the ancients thousands of years ago.

But when human beings realize all this, earth-shaking changes have taken place on the earth. Human beings have encountered the invasion of aliens and reached the verge of life and death.

This is really a bit ironic.

"Don't talk about it, just do your best anyway. As long as each of us works hard, there will be a day when we will defeat the aliens." Li Jianming said, "You brought me here for inspection, don't you want to sigh for me? Bar?"

Chapter 566

Li Jianming didn't want to discuss Datong society with Su Mu.

He sees no use in such nonsense.

Now there is only one way for human beings to go, and that is to work hard.

Keep accumulating and improving your strength. When your strength reaches a certain level, all the difficulties in front of you will naturally be solved.

The thinking of scientists is a bit like farming, that is, no matter what else, as long as the productivity is in place, the rest will naturally be in place.

When Su Mu came here, he didn't tell Li Jianming about it, he just couldn't help sighing.

"I'll take you here to take a look. You just want to confirm how far our human science and technology have developed." Su Mu said, "It seems to be developing well now."

"In terms of nanoscale, we have developed to the extreme. In the laboratory, high-end manufacturing machines with one nanometer or even 0.5 nanometers have been born." Li Jianming said, "In the past, precision processing was a shortcoming of our country, but now our country It is already the leader in precision machining of the earth."

Su Mu said: "This is inseparable from the efforts of you scientists. If I have time, I will go to the Lord and apply for an award for you."

"There's no need for this. This is what we should do. This is our duty." Li Jianming said humbly.

Su Mu said sincerely: "If everyone can fulfill their duties, then human civilization will be full of hope. Now I have a question to ask you, you are one of the most cutting-edge scientists on earth. Your answer to this question should be more accurate."

Su Mu became serious.

Li Jianming knew that this was a serious matter, so he said: "Just ask. As long as it is a scientific question, I can understand it."

Su Mu thought for a while and asked, "How far do you think human science and technology have developed?"

"This... This question is a bit complicated and difficult to answer, let me go over it first." Li Jianming said, "You asked a very good question, and this question has a very grand proposition, so it is not so easy to answer. "

Su Mu said: "Think slowly. Anyway, I am full of energy. I don't even need to sleep at night. I have plenty of time to wait for your answer. Let's sit there for a while. I don't care. Young people are not afraid of being tired. But you have old arms and legs. , you can’t make such a fuss.”

"Don't underestimate me, I am getting stronger and stronger with age." Li Jianming said unconvinced.

Although Li Jianming was not convinced, he and Su Mu found a rest area beside them and sat down.On the assembly line, what the two of them could see was almost the same, and there was nothing else to pay attention to.

Chatting in the lounge is also a good choice.

"Recently, the science and technology of our human civilization has shown explosive growth. This explosive growth has precedents in history. The First World War, the Second World War, and the subsequent During the Cold War, science and technology experienced such explosive growth.” Li Jianming said, “But to say that the most terrifying explosive growth in history is our past year. In the past, the explosive growth of science and technology was by train, but we Now the explosive growth of science and technology is riding a rocket.”

Li Jianming concluded.

Su Mu nodded and agreed: "You are right. Under a crisis, the explosive growth of science and technology can indeed occur. We humans are now in a crisis, which undoubtedly stimulates our potential."

Li Jianming said: "This is only one aspect. In fact, the most important reason is because of you. You have brought scientific concepts far beyond this era, and you have brought scientific knowledge far beyond this era. You are equivalent to an accelerator. made it all happen.”

Su Mu said: "This has caused a lot of social problems. In fact, if there is a choice, I would rather be gentle. But in the face of the alien invasion, we have no choice. We can only choose to continuously improve our strength. I don’t hesitate to lay down some hidden dangers.”

"We all know that we are all very grateful to you, and humans should also thank you. Many people outside say that you are the savior of mankind and the savior of the earth. I think what they say is very fair." Li Jianming said.

Su Mu smiled and said: "We are already old acquaintances, so you don't have to say such things in front of me, everyone is working for human beings, and I only made a little more contribution than others."

"Actually... you know the three major technical difficulties of the century, right?" Li Jianming said.

Su Mu said: "It seems that I have heard it, but I have forgotten it, you can talk about it later."

Li Jianming said: "These are the three major technological difficulties of the century. They were proposed by scientists all over the world around 2000. They are the three major goals that our scientific community is pursuing to break through within this century."

"I remembered!" Su Mu said, "Controlled nuclear fusion...artificial intelligence, and...what else?"

"It's controllable nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, and bio-gene technology." Li Jianming said clearly, "These three major technologies were once difficult for human beings to overcome. If these three major technologies are broken through, it will mean the level of human civilization. , reached the first level. At that time, each of our scientists hoped to see a breakthrough in one of these three major technologies in our lifetime. But everything is so far away..."

Su Mu laughed and said, "Now these three major technologies have all broken through!"

Li Jianming said: "Yes, you have created controllable nuclear fusion yourself. Dr. Chen and I have broken through artificial intelligence based on some technologies you provided. And the biotechnology that the Martians you brought from Mars used to be the same. It has helped us achieve a breakthrough in genetic engineering. We have already identified the three major technical difficulties of this century."

Su Mu said in a deep voice: "So now our human civilization is a well-deserved first-class civilization?"

Li Jianming said: "Based on the standard you said at the beginning, this is the case. What level of civilization is the crystal civilization that is against us?"

Su Mu said: "Crystal civilization is a third-level civilization."

Li Jianming said: "We are now a first-level civilization, and if we take two steps forward, we will reach a third-level civilization."

Su Mu smiled and said, "The two steps you mentioned are probably very difficult to take."

"It depends on people!" Li Jianming changed the subject, "I told you the good news before, and now I want to tell you the bad news."

"Bad news?" Su Mu looked at Li Jianming, a little puzzled.

Li Jianming said: "You know, even if the seedlings are pulled out, it is difficult to make the seedlings grow into towering trees, right?"

Su Mu nodded and said: "That's the truth, the varieties are different, so naturally."

Li Jianming said: "So the bad news is that, under the counterproductive development, our human technological potential has been exhausted, and we have reached a bottleneck."

Chapter 567 The vast galaxy, the development of civilization

Su Mu frowned and said, "Has the potential been exhausted?"

"That's right, we humans have laid the groundwork for more than 100 years, and the technological potential formed has been released in just one year." Li Jianming smiled bitterly, "That is to say, because our work is so good , In just one year, human beings have gone from a 0.7-level civilization to a first-level civilization. This kind of rapid progress has squeezed out our potential, and we have already developed all the places we can develop."

Su Mu thought: "It's like a person who has built up muscles after entering the gym, but his body's protein has also been consumed. If he continues to exercise, not only will he not grow muscles, but it will be harmful to the body? "

Li Jianming said: "This is a very vivid metaphor, it seems that you understand what I mean."

"Is there any way to solve it?" Su Mu asked, "Our human civilization is still shrouded in the shadow of war, and we must use all means to improve our strength. The potential is exhausted, which is not a good thing."

Li Jianming said: "The insightful people among scientists are all worried about this matter, but there is no way for things like potential to accumulate slowly."

"Fortunately, I had expected this, so I was prepared." Su Mu smiled confidently, "I will help you solve the troubles you are having right now."

Li Jianming was surprised: "You actually expected this a long time ago?"

Li Jianming didn't expect that Su Mu could be so far-sighted when he was managing everything.

This is really amazing.

"I used to brag in front of all human beings, saying that no one on earth understands aliens better than me. By extension, no one on earth understands alien civilizations better than me. Stones from other mountains , you can attack jade, and the problems encountered by other civilizations may also be encountered by our civilization, so there is a basis for reference." Su Mu said leisurely.

The reason why Su Mu directly brought a whole set of scientific and technological equipment of the atomic age from the crystal civilization was that he anticipated the difficulties that human beings would encounter.For things like science and technology, you can take shortcuts, but no matter how you take the shortcuts, you must follow the Basic Law.

According to the laws of civilization in the universe, it takes at least 100 years of accumulation for science and technology to go from one level to another. This is an unavoidable link.

But human beings have not spent 100 years here with the crystal civilization.

So humans have to play tricks.

As for the tricky way, Su Mu had already arranged it.

"No one understands aliens better than you. This is the truth. In terms of interstellar civilization, you can be called the king of understanding." Li Jianming smiled. Do you see the difficulties we will face on the road?"

"Yes." Su Mu thought, "It takes a certain amount of time for the promotion of most civilizations in the universe. This time can be shortened to an extreme, but it cannot be lower than 100 years. 100 years is the limit. If it is lower In 100 years, it is impossible to accumulate the resources for promotion. Most of the first-level civilizations have to accumulate at least 100 years after being promoted to the first-level civilization before they can move forward to the second-level civilization. The progress of the second-level civilization is already among the dragons and phoenixes. Most civilizations take thousands of years."

"I am very relieved to hear that most civilizations in the universe are like this. It seems that although our human civilization started late, it is not a shame among the major civilizations in the universe." Li Jianming was relieved at first, and then distressed "But the problem is, due to the invasion of the crystal civilization, we don't even have 100 years. Even if we have 100 years, it's just the threshold to enter the second-level civilization. How can we who have just touched the threshold of the second-level civilization Maybe it can fight against the third-level civilization?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice: "At this time, there is only one way."

Li Jianming said: "What method?"

Su Mu said: "Leap directly, without accumulation, and directly leap to the second-level civilization."

"This... how is it possible to do this?" Li Jianming didn't believe it, "How can there be a thing in the world that can reach the sky in one step?"

Su Mu said: "Of course there is a step to the sky in the world, and there are ready-made examples on our earth."

"What example?" Li Jianming didn't understand for a moment.

Su Mu said: "You should know that the development of civilizations and civilizations is not balanced among the civilizations on the earth. For example, our Qin State, after the West entered the industrial revolution, we were still an agricultural society. The dilapidated and ancient agricultural empire was directly conquered by the West. Civilization has been crushed. And we are not the worst. The worst belongs to those indigenous peoples in Africa and America. Many of them are even in the Stone Age. When they have not come out of the Stone Age, what they are facing is Enemy of the First Industrial Revolution."

Su Mu directly cited the history of earth civilization.

Even on a single planet, the development of civilization is uneven.

This is not a question of race, because people on earth are all of the same race—Homo sapiens.Homo sapiens eliminated Neanderthals, went out of Africa, and spread all over the world.

In the end, Homo sapiens produced subtle differences because of differences in geographical environments.So some people became black, some became yellow, some became white, and some became brown.

But in essence, there is no reproductive isolation, it is a race.

Therefore, the uneven development of civilization is not a matter of race, but a matter of geographical environment.

For example, on the vast land of Africa, climate changes are very unpredictable. The dry desert turns into a lake during the rainy season, and there is no drop of water during the drought.

Such an environment is not suitable for the development of agriculture at all, so a strong agricultural civilization cannot appear on the vast land of Africa.

It is also impossible for Africans to bypass agricultural civilization and go straight to industrial civilization.

The situation in the Americas is the same, even worse than in Africa.

There are no horses in America, and bison in America are difficult to domesticate.

In addition, the climate in the Americas is also very terrifying, and a cold snap often arrives, which even modern industrial civilization finds it difficult to fight against, let alone the original aborigines.

Even if it is difficult to establish the prototype of agricultural civilization, a tornado or a cold wave can bring everything back to zero.Therefore, the native Indians in America can only live by grazing, and they are in the standard nomadic era.

Coupled with the isolation of the Americas and the lack of communication with other civilizations, this makes the development of the Americas even more difficult.So when the West entered industrial civilization, America was still a very primitive nomadic life.

Only a few areas with relatively good conditions have established the prototype of the empire.

Chapter 568 Mastering barbarian skills, can control barbarians

Even under such harsh conditions, the aborigines of America still made great contributions to human civilization.

Like corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans... many crops that humans cannot do without were domesticated by Native Americans.

Some scientists have conducted special statistics that 50% of the crops that humans rely on today are domesticated by Native Americans.

This just shows that the descendants of Homo sapiens have no distinction between high and low in terms of race, but the difference in development level is due to the difference in environment.

And the age of great exploration on the earth was a collision of these civilizations with different development levels, which brought great tragedy.

The relatively backward Native Americans were slaughtered.

Qin was also caught in a huge crisis. Countless people with lofty ideals made great sacrifices and efforts to rise again.

A large number of people in Africa were lost and sold as slaves.

This is bloody history.

And what if the scope of the earth is enlarged in the universe?

Li Jianming suddenly realized.

Isn't the civilization in the universe the same as the civilization on the earth?

Regardless of whether it is a high-level civilization or a low-level civilization, as long as it is an intelligent civilization, there is not much difference in race.

Maybe they have their own characteristics, but their wisdom is quite the same.

Just like this crystal civilization, they are much more developed than human civilization, but their IQ is not much higher than human beings.

The reason why different civilizations in the universe develop at different stages is more because some civilizations started earlier, some civilizations started later, some civilizations live on planets with better natural environments, and some civilizations live on planets with surrounding An empty space with nothing to draw on.So it was very difficult to develop.

And what is the ultimate history of the earth?

All backward civilizations that have not been eliminated have absorbed the things of advanced civilizations, directly leaping from a backward state of civilization to an advanced state of civilization.

For example, many countries in Africa were originally in the Stone Age and Tribal Age, but as long as they directly obtained the technology of developed civilization, they could reach the sky and enter industrial civilization in one step.Although the industrial civilization they have cannot be compared with the developed industrial civilization, it is indeed a reality to reach the sky in one step.

The Qin State also has a reference in this regard.

"The ancients in our country said that the barbarians learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians. I understand." Li Jianming suddenly realized, "We don't need to develop directly in some stages, and we don't need to manufacture some machines directly, as long as we can get them from advanced civilizations. things, we can skip these stages and directly implement a leap-forward development. Although this kind of leap-forward development has a lot of moisture, it is indeed a good way to improve our strength the fastest."

"Just like many African countries on the earth, they were originally primitive tribes, but now many of them can build trains, tanks, and airplanes. Although they cannot be compared with advanced industrial countries, they have also entered the industrial age." Su Mu Xiao said, "This is because they have absorbed the things of advanced civilization, directly used the technology and resources disseminated by advanced civilization, and allowed their own civilization to develop by leaps and bounds."

Li Jianming said: "So you mean, we can get good things directly from alien civilizations, let us jump from a first-level civilization to a second-level civilization?"

Su Mu nodded and said: "That's right, and I have already obtained good things from the alien civilization."
