The Wandering Planet

,!

Just like before, at the cost of 500 civilization points, Qiao Li asked the system to convey the detailed information to other people in the coalition government, so that he would not have to bear such a heavy responsibility alone.

After learning about this incident, the coalition government immediately convened everyone to discuss the countermeasures for this incident.

To Qiao Lv's surprise, this incident turned out to be related to the Soul Flower Project, which is part of the Earth Awakening Project.

Luo Feng presided over the meeting and said: Everyone, as you know, the Soul Flower project is progressing smoothly, and we are one step closer to successfully awakening the earth.

So what happened to call us here? asked Derek, the U.S. representative.

On this point, let's ask Dr. Grace to explain it first.

Dr. Grace's holographic projection appeared in the center of the meeting room, and she had to participate in the meeting in this way because she was so busy.

Sorry, all the directors, I am still in the cultivation laboratory of the flower of the soul. There are too many things to deal with here. Please forgive me for attending the meeting in this way.

No, I'm sorry to trouble you. Luo Feng nodded his head.

After a brief greeting, Grace began to explain the key points of the meeting.

The first thing I want to explain to you is the mechanism of the flower of the soul. As we discussed at the beginning, the flower of the soul will serve as the nerve center of the earth in the future and become the key to the plan to awaken the earth. But in fact, it has another important function The effect is to change the ecology of the earth and make it more suitable for human habitation.

When the flower of the soul blooms, a large amount of pollen, or nanoparticles, will be discharged into the atmosphere, and in this way the ecological climate of the earth will be changed. Since the flower of the soul is cultivated by us, now we also This modification can be controlled to a certain extent, and this is the topic that I hope you discuss.

So it turned out that Qiao Lv finally understood why the system gave three options with such a huge impact, and it turned out that they were directly related to the final result of the Flower of Soul Project.

The three transformation plans proposed by Dr. Grace also coincided with the three racial characteristics that Qiao Li saw. Qiao Li happened to name it after heart is better than matter, synthetic evolution and genetic remodeling, and it was also agreed by others. recognized.

It still has such an effect. Russian representative Vasily said with admiration.

Dr. Grace responded: Sorry, but we also discovered this during the course of our research.

In any case, this is not a bad thing. Qiao Lu followed Dr. Grace's words, It's just that we have to make a choice, how to transform the ecology of the earth, and ourselves.

The effect of the flower of the soul is indeed a rare opportunity. After investing so much manpower and material resources, it should be rewarded.

Then we can rule out synthetic evolution first. Derek said first:

We once discussed a type of choice, which seems to be a plan left by the Cybertron civilization-the assimilation of internal drives, right. Since we rejected the assimilation of internal drives at the beginning, there is no need to choose synthetic evolution now.

Indeed, there was such a meeting. Because of Qiao Li's opposition, the Wandering Earth did not conduct a referendum, and the resolution of [internal drive assimilation] was rejected.

Qiao Li immediately objected: That's different,

Internal drive assimilation will make everyone on the earth, whether they agree or not, gradually transform into cyborg life forms. But synthetic evolution is a choice we can make. It provides the adaptability of prosthetics. Whether to install prosthetics depends on personal wishes.

This is the biggest difference between the two. [Internal drive assimilation] is after all a plan left by the Cybertron civilization, and of course it does not take into account human thoughts.

[Synthetic Evolution] is only to enhance the adaptability of human beings to prosthetics. Whether to accept prosthetic modification or not depends on the individual's decision.

Bevin, the representative of France, immediately reacted and said: If you say this, isn't it the same that the heart is better than the thing? Not everyone is willing to awaken their potential.

This makes some sense. If an ordinary person awakens his powerful potential first, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to his daily life.

Perhaps most people will be eager for this, but there are also people who really just want to spend their lives peacefully, and awakening their potential is not a gift for them.

On the other hand, on the Wandering Earth, although the number of psykers is still very small, and they are mainly in the army, it cannot be said that there are no people who hate psychics. Whether they are jealous or fearful, if psykers It is hard to imagine what kind of turmoil it will cause.”

This is a very realistic thing. Looking at the mutants in the X-Men, it is not impossible to cause human division.

What about the last genetic remodeling? British representative George asked. Genetic modification is not acceptable to everyone, but there will be no objections to prolonging life.

Genetic remodeling is indeed the easiest decision to win the hearts of the people. Who doesn't want to live for another sixty years, especially with the advanced medical technology of Wandering Earth, they can basically die.

The problem is that the current genetic modification technology of the wandering earth is relatively weak compared to prosthetics and psionic abilities.

For example, Qiao Li can feel it himself. The vibrating gold symbiosis prosthesis and spiritual talent in him are very powerful, but the genetic modification mainly provides sensory enhancement. After he can use spiritual power to perceive, he can only The remaining reaction speed is commendable.

One more thing worth noting. Dr. Grace reminded, Although the synthetic evolution plan provides prosthetic adaptability, it actually also includes neural implants. For example, the simultaneous interpretation headsets used by everyone here are now It is a device that uses a neural interface. If we design it as a neural implant, we can complete the translation in the brain without the need for earphones, which can break through the limitation of having to translate into the mother tongue, and the accuracy of the information conveyed will be greatly reduced. It has improved a lot.

The simultaneous interpretation device is one of the most important inventions on the Wandering Earth. The reason why all human beings can unite to complete the Wandering Earth Project is largely due to breaking through the barriers of language communication.

Even now, everyone in the internal meeting of the coalition government still has to wear simultaneous interpretation headsets. Even though they speak different languages, the voice heard in everyone's ears is their own mother tongue.

What Dr. Grace proposed is a more direct solution. Instead of letting the simultaneous interpretation device translate the understood information into the mother tongue and convey it to everyone's ears, it is to implant the language understanding program into everyone's nerves. , Communication efficiency is of course twice the result with half the effort.

In that case, isn't it even possible to break through the limitations of language and use neural implants to communicate? Qiao Lu was keen enough to capture this point, which is not ordinary.

Dr. Grace nodded and said: If we can further improve the performance of neural implants, it will be as simple as sending a message with a mobile phone.

As mentioned in Liu Cixin's novel Country Teacher, the information transmission rate for human to communicate with language is only about 1 to 10 bits per second, that is, 1-10B/s

Now that all mobile phones use 5G, the information transmission rate needs to be calculated in megabytes, and Qiao Lv doesn't even bother to figure out how many times it is.

Maybe he misunderstood at first, the greatest value of [Synthetic Evolution] has never been in mechanical prosthetics, but the neural implants that can improve people's brain thinking and communication skills by more than one level, are the synthetic evolution that brings human civilization. for maximum impact.

Perhaps it will become a new medium of knowledge transfer, just as the advanced civilization in Country Teacher said, human beings no longer need to rely on language to transfer information, so as to move towards a more advanced civilization!
