Kapitel 773: Thucydides Trap
Of course this matter is important, extremely important. On the one hand, it means that the hemispheric civilization has completed the final puzzle. As long as there is enough time to accumulate, becoming a level five civilization will be a sure thing... On the other hand, it means that humans also have a full set of technologies, because the hemispheric civilization The vast majority of experiments are provided by Unreal Labs. Humans have mastered the way of modifying their thinking!
While Zhang Yuan was writing the entire report, he felt that his whole body would tremble from time to time.
He didn't know whether he was excited or afraid, or a combination of both... This kind of emotion was very complicated, yes, so what if he copied the path of civilization in the hemisphere?
It would be great if humans could find a good path on their own.
What if it can't be found? According to Zhang Yuan's idea, he must also create a fifth-level civilization!
"...According to this progress, hemispheric civilizations will produce exponential iterations of knowledge inheritance after all memory templates are reformed! Soon, all their new populations will be able to have one or two thousand years of work experience. How big this is I believe everyone should know what it means."
Even if the race value of the hemispheric civilization is not high, the amount of working memory for one or two thousand years is really too large. Imbuing these memories into the minds of the next generation can bridge the gap in intelligence.
The new memory template brings all-round improvements.
When Zhang Yuan submitted this report to the Scientific Council, everyone felt a sense of deep shock and urgency.
It is really not easy for the hemispheric civilization to take this step... So what about humans? What should I do?
Zhang Yuan continued to report on the stage: "...the greater the amount of memory instilled, the higher the probability of idiots being born. However, after the hemispheric civilization has the new technology we provide, it can partially offset the probability of idiots being born. And , Hemispheric civilization will not slow down its progress just because of the birth of idiots, this is something we cannot do..."
"And as time goes by, they can update the memory template again, so that the quality of all new generations will leap forward again. For example, on the basis of two thousand years of memory, add two thousand or four thousand more memory templates! If it is not enough , just two thousand more years, the memory template of six thousand years of work experience..."
"As long as there is enough time, this kind of progress is endless, and there is no need to worry about sinking..."
"This is also one of the reasons why we believe that level five civilization is powerful, constantly iterating and evolving. Level five civilization will advance at a higher speed, and this speed will not slow down, but will become faster and faster! "
Everyone sitting in the seats was silent and thinking.
My allies suddenly completed the puzzle of the fifth-level civilization and have unlimited potential for progress. This day has come so fast!
And the new human civilization has not yet chosen its own path... The new human civilization still doesn't know how to take this step, even if it already has the technical conditions.
When this fact was before their eyes, all the members of the Scientific Council began to think silently.
This is a kind of coercion, a kind of pressure.
People have hesitated to choose a direction for too long, and now hemispheric civilization has emerged, forcing people to choose.
"Wait a minute..." Li Zhendong opened his mouth and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Is it really what it sounds like? This problem is a bit serious."
Zhang Yuandao: "How can you be joking? It's just that they have only completed the update of one memory template now, and there will be at least another 365 memory templates to complete in the future... They may even create more memory templates to get rid of their thinking patterns. Diversity issues."
A deputy captain suddenly asked: "Professor Zhang, how long will it take for the civilization of the hemisphere to surpass us?"
Everyone raised their heads, this was a very real problem.
Zhang Yuan sighed: "A simple estimate, if we fully help them iterate the memory templates, it will take about 100-130 years to complete the iteration of all templates. From the original ones that are a little behind the times, to fully evolved into new templates, by then they will There will be an earth-shaking qualitative change."
"In the next five to six hundred years, no more than a thousand years, as this technology becomes more and more mature, a large number of geniuses with genetic memory knowledge will be born. These geniuses will shorten most of our technologies except the virtual world. The gap. After this, the technological strength of both sides may be reversed. Of course, this is just a simple estimate, and it's hard to say what will happen..."
"So, a thousand years!"
Zhang Yuan stretched out a finger, "The slowest is the slowest. After a thousand years, the opponent will surpass us. The fastest is only five hundred years."
"This is just the first qualitative change."
"As for the second qualitative change... After the other party completes this plan and surpasses us, it will not stop because of this. It will still iterate its own knowledge until it reaches a technological singularity, that is, it can be completely silicon-based transformed. Complete the integration of man and machine to accelerate thinking."
"At that time, we will gradually have light-speed thinking like strong artificial intelligence, and then there will be a technological explosion again, leaving us far behind. This is the second qualitative change. Only by completing the acceleration of thinking can we become truly Level 5 civilization, a state that is difficult for us to understand."
The conference room fell into silence again. From a perceptual point of view, the new human civilization wants to remain the leader of the alliance and does not want a reversal of strength.
But rationally speaking, is it possible to deliberately block the other party because the other party may be beyond human beings?
This kind of thinking is too narrow-minded.
If the opponent's technology is blocked, it can indeed be extended for a long time...but what's the point? Just to stop the opponent's progress?
Another scientist asked: "What is their goal? How has genetic philosophy been modified? Can light-speed thinking be achieved with the current genetic philosophy mechanism?"
The main reason for modifying the genetic philosophy and way of thinking is to adapt to light speed thinking.
Zhang Yuandao: "They have created a set of idealized saint principles, so the entire model will be modified in that direction. After they have light-speed thinking, the code of conduct will be like a memory template, full of what they think is absolute justice... At that time, they will lack some sensibility and have more rationality."
"But everyone can rest assured that repaying kindness with hatred is definitely a behavior that they despise. Therefore, if the civilization of the hemisphere becomes stronger, it will not cause harm to us in theory."
"This set of thinking can be accelerated, and there is no problem in realizing light speed thinking."
The idea of universal sainthood may sound a bit middle-of-the-road, but it is indeed a good approach. The premise is to clearly define what is a so-called saint, what is so-called good, what is so-called bad, and what is absolute justice.
The captain asked: "The saint model? Can we learn from this path?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned. This issue would only lead to endless quarrels among human beings, because everyone has different opinions. But hemispheric civilizations have already reached a consensus in history.
"It's possible... but no matter what world view, only a few people can agree with it. We can seriously prepare this alternative."
Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and said: "In short, I am seriously opposed to using technical means to prevent the other party from updating the memory template. Yes, the other party really needs our help now... We can't become a fifth-level civilization, and we can't find the way forward. It's because we don't have the ability ourselves, so there's no need to hold others back."
"I am seriously opposed to stepping into the so-called Thucydides Trap..."
Everyone fell silent. Zhang Yuan saw several ministers lowering their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Thucydides Trap" is a term used in the civilization of the earth. It refers to a newly rising power that will inevitably challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war becomes inevitable.
War is not limited to military affairs, but also includes technology, trade, finance, etc. At the beginning of the 21st century, the technology trade war between China and the United States was a typical representative of the Thucydides Trap.
Now the new human civilization is facing a similar dilemma.
Zhang Yuan continued: "Anyway, according to my point of view, in the next thousand years, if we are still unable to take this step despite the stimulation of hemispheric civilization, there will probably be no hope. We will just cling to our thighs or plagiarize. The other party's model is the king... The so-called three people walking together must have my teacher. If we are not good at it, we can only learn from others."
What Zhang Yuan said was very rude, but it was also true. There are many civilizations in the world that are more powerful than human beings, so what does it mean if they are stuck with their own allies?
Humans do have the technological strength to copy the model of hemispheric civilization, but society as a whole is completely unable to do so at present, let alone allow the birth of a huge number of idiots, so there is no way.
If you can't do it, you can only blame yourself!
Li Zhendong nodded and supported Zhang Yuan's point of view: "Indeed, as Professor Zhang said, if the hemispheric civilization succeeds, we humans will also have a full set of corresponding technologies, and may even have them earlier than them. By then, technology will be completely We are ready, what we are facing is just the philosophical problem of how to modify our thinking and what is the overall goal of civilization."
"So I am also opposed to using technical means to block the opponent's progress."
Yamamoto Ichiro stood up and said slowly: "Or, if you really can't do it, you can split off a sub-civilization to complete this matter."
This idea shocked everyone again. There are so many people who oppose it, splitting off a sub-civilization, what a fantastic idea it is... At present, it is even more difficult to do.
This meeting did not discuss anything effective, it just let everyone know that this fact is happening.
The Unreal Laboratory will still help hemispheric civilizations update their memory templates and will not block the opponent's technology.
In just half a day, the news that the hemispheric civilization had completed the last piece of the puzzle has slowly spread within the new human civilization society.
Related reports are all very cautious and reveal not much.
But the fewer words, the bigger the matter. Needless to say, the tension and shock among the people.
"Excuse me, scientists agree that hemispheric civilization has turned the potential of level five civilization into facts!"
"As long as you give them enough time, they can cross this threshold!"
"What did you say?!"
"real or fake!"
In fact, everyone has a sense of superiority, and it is even a source of happiness, but the level of superiority is different for everyone. Human beings will have a sense of superiority when facing weak races, and they will also have a sense of superiority when facing hemispheric civilizations that always hug their thighs, but they will not show it in their daily lives.
But now that I heard that the hemispheric civilization has begun a qualitative change, some different voices have naturally arisen at the civil level, such as stopping cooperation, preventing the other party from progressing, etc.
Such voices have received more criticism from society.
"Some people have a dark mentality and always dislike other people's kindness, haha. Losers always have such thoughts."
"Oh, Thucydides Trap is starting to take effect, a typical sign of the civilization of the fallen!"
"I would like to ask, what is Thucydides' Trap?"
"A civilization that has lost its self-confidence and self-esteem will eventually become a sinker...Shouldn't we speed up our progress to avoid this kind of power reversal?" Although these voices are a bit radical, they are still there. That makes sense...
There are also some gags and voices taking advantage of the opportunity to joke: "It's time to implement more radical policies... In the next thousand years, let's quickly integrate humans and machines. Human potential is limited, and I don't want to be a human anymore!"
This group of stupid netizens still don't understand the burden faced by the entire civilization, nor the hardships people in this hemisphere have paid for it.
The troubles people face may not necessarily change with the passage of time...
This kind of change requires an opportunity, or most people are wavering and can only rely on the determination of a small number of people.
…
Just like that, amid the commotion, the alliance's next destination was about to arrive. The fleet has been sailing at high speed in the void for more than forty years. It is time to stop and conduct a major maintenance.
On the way to the edge of the Milky Way, humans have investigated three yellow dwarfs along the way, but found nothing interesting.
In fact, when the star road map was originally planned, the Alliance fleet's plan was basically based on yellow dwarf stars. Because yellow dwarfs are the stars most suitable for the development of life, the probability of encountering novel events is greater. The whole star has to stop for maintenance and rectification anyway, so it is better to find some intelligent species to communicate with it.
However, the route planned by this star road map is completely unknown, and the probability of missing it is very high. Now this is the fourth yellow dwarf star.
A new journey is before people's eyes...
