"God-making plan..."
Chen Yun nodded and continued to explain: "Do you know the bottleneck theory of species civilization?"
"I know, it was a popular saying in the past few years."
The so-called species technological bottleneck means that if a species cannot achieve new evolution at the genetic level and break through the original lifespan limit, the species will fall into a bottleneck after its scientific and technological development reaches a certain level.
Anyone who has studied history will probably find a strange phenomenon.
That is, during the medieval period hundreds of years ago, a large number of philosophers, artists, scientists, etc. emerged in human history, and these people often had multiple talents.
Like Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance, he was a painter, a natural scientist, and an extremely high-level engineer. In addition to painting, Leonardo da Vinci also made extraordinary achievements in the fields of natural science and engineering.
Including the more distant Aristotle and later Galileo, their achievements and achievements have never been fixed in a certain field.
However, with the progress and development of human society and education becoming more and more advanced, people have found that there are fewer and fewer "all-rounders" like this.
The reason is not that the IQs of us latecomers have dropped, but that if we want to be truly proficient in a field, we need to learn more and more knowledge left by our predecessors.
Only by incorporating the knowledge summarized by predecessors into your mind can you expand your existing knowledge base and become an expert in this field.
In the past, three to five years was enough for a smart person to become proficient in a field, but now three to five years may not be enough for you to go through all the knowledge in a certain field.
In the future, with the further development of science, we have concluded that the knowledge system will become larger and larger. For those who come later, just learning these existing knowledge theories will probably consume a lifetime.
There are still top geniuses who can integrate existing knowledge and theories in a very short period of time, and then extend the technology tree upward again.
But with the development of human civilization, there will come a day when even top geniuses will be powerless in the face of the vast knowledge system.
By then, people will probably spend their whole lives on the road of learning, there will be less and less real innovation, and the progress of human science and technology will be slowly blocked.
And this is the bottleneck of species civilization.
"The theory of civilizational bottleneck has been proposed a long time ago. It was just that at that time, it did not attract much attention."
Chen Yun walked to the coffee table, poured a glass of water, and said while drinking: "Because many people think that it is not difficult to solve this problem. Some people have previously proposed that brainwave technology can be used to directly transfer what needs to be learned. By instilling it into the brain, this saves the learning process, no matter how large the size is in the future, there will be no problem.”
Shen Yan: "There is no technical problem with this method, but it is not popular yet. I guess there are other problems."
Chen Yun nodded: "There is indeed a big problem."
"First of all, having a large amount of knowledge directly injected into a person's brain will cause certain damage to the person's cerebral cortex."
"Moreover, if knowledge is delivered directly through indoctrination without learning, even if the person memorizes everything, he will not be able to learn and apply it."
Chen Yun picked up an apple: "To give you the simplest example, if I tell you the whole process of an apple from seed to sapling, to flowering and bearing fruit, and then ask you to plant trees and harvest, it will be difficult for you to do it. arrive."
"Also, our brains have protective mechanisms. Even the knowledge we have learned seriously will be quickly forgotten after not using it for a long time."
"And these things that are instilled in you are forgotten faster."
Bai Ye sat aside and watched the two people discussing, and unconsciously crossed his legs. His long legs, which were nearly 1.3 meters long, dangled so much that Ana Shen felt dizzy.
Ana Shen moved his eyes away from Bai Ye's body, touched his chin and said: "If it's just forgetting and practical problems, it can be easily solved. It's just a matter of letting them do a few more sets of test questions to strengthen their memory and integrate them. "
"Although this will take some time, it is faster than learning bit by bit according to the old education method."
Chen Yun did not answer Ana Shen's question directly, but looked at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took over the conversation and said with a smile: "If this method was feasible, the Federation would have promoted it in all cities long ago. The people above often make decisions that will make you feel stupid, but they are actually better than everyone else. Smart, what we can think of, how could they not think of it.”
"The reason why it was not implemented in the end is..."
"I don't know," Bai Ye spread his hands: "Maybe there are some unknown side effects."
"After all, although the speed of scientific and technological innovation has dropped a lot in recent years compared with decades ago, it has not fallen into the so-called bottleneck period."
"Perhaps this direction is right, but it is expected that there will be no output in the next ten or even decades. Eating from the public sector will also depend on political performance..."
Shen Yan: "But there are still people who are making preparations for this matter."
Bai Ye nodded: "Indeed."
"After the Federation slowly gave up on cramming knowledge through brainwave transcription, the head of the Saint-President Institute of Biology suddenly announced the launch of a human lifespan escape plan."
"He wants to extend human lifespan and delay aging by modifying DNA telomeres."
“The people of Saint-President believe that only if human lifespan can keep up with the progress of civilization can the entire human civilization be guaranteed to always be full of vitality.”
At this point, Chen Yun suddenly interrupted and said: "I know this. I still remember what Dr. Wei He, the head of the Institute of Biological Studies of Saint-President at the time, said -"
“In the past few thousand years, humans have put tools on the altar, and it’s time to return to the path of self-evolution.”
When Chen Yun said this, her charming eyes under her black-rimmed glasses shone with a rare luster.
"When I applied for biogenetics, I was largely influenced by Professor Wei's words."
Just when Chen Yun was showing off her idol to everyone, Bai Ye suddenly said quietly next to her: "Then why did you end up in the Special Affairs Bureau?"
Chen Yun turned her head, looked at the "concerned" look from her immediate superior, and forcefully grinned: "This...isn't this why our special affairs bureau has better treatment..."
In fact, it is because Chen Yun's own professional level is not enough.
She chose genetic engineering because of her passion, but she had no talent in this area. The Saint-President Institute of Biology has extremely high requirements for fresh graduates, so she was dismissed as a matter of course.
Later, by chance, I came to the Special Affairs Bureau and started working as a secretary.
Bai Ye glanced at Chen Yun and said deliberately: "That's it... the security guard at the door is not bad at the treatment. I'll transfer you to the security department later. You won't have any objections, right?"
"Security Department..."
Chen Yunqiang's smiling face immediately collapsed: "No, captain... if you ask me to go to the security department, won't this increase their workload?"
"Besides...if I go to the security department, I will never see your big white legs again..."
While saying this, Chen Yun reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's legs.
Bai Ye: "Die! You idiot!"
Chen Yun: "I just learned a set of massage techniques to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Let me activate your meridians -"
"..."
Ana Shen looked at the two women making a fuss not far away with a decent smile on his face, but his mind had already gone elsewhere when he heard Chen Yun say Wei He's famous quote. .
He had seen something similar to that sentence in his diary!
But what is written in the diary is very different from what Chen Yun said——
[Those who are kind and false to things are only worthy of being dust in front of the throne, but I am the only one who is true and eternal. 】
