Chapter 108: The Throat of Destiny
What Li Zhendong said is correct. Humans are social creatures after all. The gradual reduction of the same kind is like the gradual withering of leaves on a big tree, and the rest of the leaves will also have a similar sense of uneasiness.
Even Zhang Yuan would have similar thoughts. Seeing his friends falling asleep one by one always gave him the illusion of being abandoned by the times.
Once eating in the cafeteria, he suddenly found that he was the only one in the cafeteria except for the tireless robots.
He didn't know how to describe that feeling of loneliness, so he could only be in a daze for a while, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.
Didn't have the appetite to eat anything at all.
When the conscious population fell below 10,000, basically all the functions that should be closed were closed, including most of the laboratories and industrial areas, and only the most basic needs for survival were kept.
All the population was merged into Area A, and the merger of popularity made the surrounding atmosphere a little more lively. Everyone was
assigned a small house hanging on a large centrifugal wheel, similar to the house on Europa. At 11 o'clock at night, the entire Ferris wheel will rotate, equivalent to simulating the gravity of the earth.
As for the large ring-shaped living area of the Earth Age itself, the rotation speed will be reduced to one-twentieth of the standard speed, and it takes more than half an hour to rotate a little more.
The reduction in angular velocity means that the simulated equivalent gravity is only 0.22 times that of the earth.
No way, there is no machinery that can work normally in space for 3,000 years. If the central bearing of the Earth Age is too worn and breaks down, the personnel in the spacecraft alone cannot repair it.
Only by spinning slowly like a snail can we survive the long time.
In addition to the new task of the nuclear power plant, Zhang Yuan's spare time learning task is to be responsible for the turbulence monitoring of the nuclear fusion engine.
In fact, it is a very boring and idle thing. It has been more than 30 years since the second-generation engine was born, and the control method has been perfected for a long time. Usually, there will not be too many mistakes.
And he himself no longer wants to continue studying turbulence.
In other words, even he himself feels that there is no way to make better and stronger results in this field.
On the other hand, Senior Brother Zhao next door, in his free time, has been reading younger manga next to him, which is simply eye-popping. Perhaps his wife and the girls in the lab hibernated, revealing his true nature.
It turns out that Senior Brother Zhao is such a boring person.
"Zhang Yuan." In this idleness, Senior Brother Zhao suddenly said: "Scientific research is no longer needed in the spaceship. You have to relax, really relax, otherwise you may be depressed with such a small population. My book "Pirate King" "It's still a genuine comic, do you want to lend it to you?"
Zhang Yuan said, "Learning makes me happy."
"Ahem," Senior Brother Zhao immediately resumed his seriousness: "I also think that this job is too easy for you. , maybe, you can do some more difficult work. I have four directions for you to recommend..." "
Four directions?"
"First, the new industry standard design, some very trivial and complicated mathematical calculations, If you want, you can go to Academician Ding to pick up some tasks." "
Second, learn some knowledge about the spacecraft control system. I believe the Science Committee will grant you higher authority. People who understand spacecraft control engineering, Of course, the more the better, and it will be more convenient to take turns during hibernation." "
Third, write some doctoral dissertations and obtain a doctorate degree. Your current level of knowledge has theoretically reached the doctoral level, but it is still not enough without dissertations. When all the laboratories are closed, I suggest that you can switch to science and do some mathematics or work on the history of new civilizations."
Brother Zhao talked eloquently: "Especially the history of new civilizations, if you are interested in this subject, you can consider self-study... Well... this school is actually quite interesting. The Science Council also intends to absorb you..."
" New civilization school?" Zhang Yuan has never been interested in politics, "I don't have any political beliefs, can I join this school?" Zhao Qingfeng raised his head and glanced at
him: "You know, it's different from the usual It's a bit different, the New Civilization School is a cosmic sociology that pursues truth and logic, without too complicated and old-fashioned political ideas, otherwise it would have been banned by the ruling class on the earth..." Zhang Yuan was stunned
, It seems that it is.
But he still didn't say a word, why should he say that his ideas are the truth?
Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhao said with a smile: "As I said a few days ago, the core content of the New Civilization School is pure mathematics. I don't know whether mathematics is the ultimate truth, but it may be the closest The truth."
"We use calculations to generate decisions for the entire civilization, and this decision has a high probability of being the global optimal solution, not a local optimal solution, and there will be no situation that is very applicable now and very bad in the future."
" This kind of decision-making is not comparable to a certain leader who slapped his head and came up with a self-righteous method..."
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said in confusion: "A civilized decision-making is all subject to calculation, your idea Of course it is very good, even the ruling class is not needed."
"However, how should it be calculated? How to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm? The calculation is also given by humans, so how to ensure the fairness of the people themselves? Through artificial intelligence calculations Is it possible to produce decisions that convince the public?" "
I think it is difficult for ordinary people to accept that fate is handed over to algorithms and calculations. They will be suspicious and don't like this controlled behavior. Human beings, who can be controlled Ruled by other humans, it cannot be ruled by artificial intelligence..."
"Yeah, you're right. These are all problems."
Brother Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Humans are a kind of arrogant creature, always self-righteously thinking that they can hold the throat of fate. It's a pity , 99% of people can't. This is indeed the biggest obstacle."
He asked a question again, "How many colonies similar to the Earth Age do you think Earth civilization can launch in the next few hundred years? Spaceship?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, "Maybe there are one or two, or three or four, it's all possible."
Brother Zhao smiled mysteriously, and stretched out a finger: "66.23% probability, one."
"The remaining probability is zero, and there is no other possibility."
Zhang Yuan was slightly startled, seeing Brother Zhao's expression, he was not joking.
He thought for a few seconds, and questioned: "How to calculate the probability?"
Brother Zhao said: "Through a complex function system in the history of new civilization..."
