The speed of a ton of weight is 669 kilometers per second, which is Mach 1966.
What would be the consequences if it hit the earth at such a speed?
It's scary to use this kind of technology as a weapon, but it can only be used in this way.
For example, the various detectors currently exploring the solar system are launched in this way, which is because they are so efficient.
In the short period of time during which the Three-Gate Project was completed, the solar system was filled with various types of detectors.
The vast majority of these detectors are launched this way.
Of course, it is possible to deploy various detectors in the solar system at a speed of 669 kilometers per second, but when it comes to deploying detectors outside the solar system, or sending detectors to the nearest star Proxima Centauri, this speed is still too slow.
After all, the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
The difference between the two is nearly 500 times.
This means that if a probe is launched to Proxima Centauri at this speed, it will take two thousand years for the probe to reach Proxima Centauri.
Two thousand years is too long a time.
Although this speed is somewhat full, a large number of detectors have still been launched into the space outside the solar system.
At the same time, many detectors were also launched to fly in the direction of Proxima Centauri.
Its purpose is to explore the universe around the solar system.
In order to facilitate transportation in the solar system and exploration of space outside the solar system, plans are currently underway to build a beam channel across the inner solar system.
Once built, according to the existing simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, its speed can reach 240,000 kilometers per second.
This speed has reached 80% of the speed of light.
A probe flying at this speed would only take five years to reach Proxima Centauri.
Compared with the previous two thousand years, these five years are completely acceptable.
"Based on the weight and speed of the mecha, it is relatively light to destroy a city with a population of five million people." Fan Xiaoming said, "It is because we are worried about this situation that we need a monitoring system and a defense system."
Xu Zhengping said: "With the development of science and technology, the weapons manufactured by humans are becoming more and more powerful. If the relevant technology is not supervised, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Our relevant departments are still very strict in monitoring technology." Fan Xiaoming said, "For example, if the brain-computer integration technology we have developed is used in the right way, it will benefit mankind, such as what we are experiencing now, virtual universe, augmented reality Realistic, remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots and other positive technology applications.”
Zuo Dajun said: "Technology is inherently two-sided, and it is our choice how to use it."
"There is no good thing about technology itself, only the quality of its users." Bao Qizheng said, "We cannot preconceptions that technology is evil. We still need to study what we should study. Of course, for some technologies We must be highly vigilant and implement comprehensive monitoring.”
Su Zhe said: "Technological research is necessary. There is no need to give up technology research out of fear."
Fan Xiaoming said: "This is how we study the human body. From a positive perspective, after we fully understand the mysteries of the human body, the problems of human birth, old age, illness and death can be comprehensively solved, and it is also possible for humans to achieve immortality. From a negative perspective, That would be disastrous. After understanding the entire mechanism of the human body, the advantages and disadvantages of the human body are exposed, and any person with evil intentions can easily destroy the human race."
What he said was not scaremongering.
Take brain-computer integration technology as an example, it can extend to many technologies.
In the process of developing brain-computer integration technology, what is at the intersection of brain information is not only the reading and writing of information, but also the shielding of information.
The so-called shielding means that the information intersection cannot input and output information normally.
To put it simply, it means that the human brain loses contact with the body except the brain.
It's like human consciousness is sealed into the human brain.
It’s a feeling that people don’t have at all.
This is the shielding of information intersections.
Do you want to say that such technology is evil?
Not necessarily.
Even reading and writing information at information interaction points can be scary if used in the wrong place.
Now, what is realized through brain-computer is the remote control of humanoid bionic robots, mechas, or other engineering equipment.
Relatively speaking, these are acceptable and positive.
What does the opposite look like?
By shielding, reading and writing information intersections, people can be controlled remotely.
To put it simply, one person's brain and body are disconnected, and another person can control the other person through related equipment.
People control people, just like people control humanoid bionic robots.
What's more, it can make the controlled person's brain receive information but not output it.
In other words, the person being controlled can see, hear, and feel all the sensations of the body, but they cannot control the body.
How scary this situation is.
Then there is the study of the human brain.
Once you fully understand the mechanism of the brain, you can read and write information into the brain at will.
What will be the consequences if there is no oversight of these technologies.
In his view, the more advanced the technology, the stricter the supervision.
For example, SS-defense systems, beam channels, light beam projects, etc. all require strict supervision.
Because once these technologies are used in reverse, their attack power is so frightening that they can easily wipe out all human beings on the earth.
Xu Zhengping said: "It's like this. Technology has two sides. It is not good or bad. The bad ones are the people who use it, so we must strictly manage the use of technology."
The most typical one is nuclear fission technology.
It can be used in nuclear power plants to generate energy for human use, and it can also be used to make mushroom bombs.
Zuo Dajun said: "Some technologies will indeed bring disasters once they are used in the opposite direction, but we cannot give up the development of science and technology because of these possible disasters. The correct thing is to actively develop science and technology and strictly supervise the application of technology. Only by Only in this way can we survive in the universe for a long time."
In any case, the development of science and technology cannot be stagnant, because once it stops, human beings will be waiting to die.
Either they will be wiped out by natural disasters in the universe, or they will be wiped out by other intelligent life forms in the universe.
"Yes, we must strictly supervise the development of technology and the use of artificial intelligence." Fan Xiaoming said, "However, it is very difficult to supervise technology applications. If too much emphasis is placed on the supervision of technology applications, it will seriously Limiting the speed of development of science and technology, even so, we have to strictly supervise, but considering the development of science and technology, we should grasp the degree of supervision."
Xu Zhengping thought for a while and said: "There is no way to do this. On the one hand, there is the development of science and technology, and on the other hand, there is a possible disaster. Both of them exist at the same time. As for the intensity of supervision, this is a technical issue. We must grasp the degree." .”
"That's it." Bao Qizheng said, "This is the tragedy of us humans. If science and technology do not develop, mankind will face extinction. It may be destroyed in hundreds of thousands of years, or it may take longer. , but it is impossible for the sun to go out. If we continue to develop, we will face disasters at any time, and even human beings may be wiped out. However, I think we still need to continue to develop. When humans can get out of the solar system, humans will be scattered in different parts of the universe. place, then the possibility of human beings being wiped out by the group will be much smaller."
Humanity is in trouble.
If it does not develop, it will perish as the earth's environment changes, just like the creatures of the earth's past.
The same goes for humans.
Without development, within a few million years at most, the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for human survival.
Humanity will perish.
This is why human beings are still like monkeys and have not developed. Neither agriculture nor industry has developed. Human beings are completely living the lives of monkeys.
If the situation is as it was a year ago.
If humans cannot enter the space age, then the environment of the earth will no longer be suitable for human survival in 10,000 to 20,000 years.
This is different now.
Since the completion of the Three-Gate Project, it has marked mankind's comprehensive entry into the space age.
Relatively speaking, the fate of mankind at this time is no longer determined by the environment of the earth. What determines the fate of mankind at this time is the solar system, or the body of the sun.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if human science and technology no longer make the slightest progress, as long as the sun exists for one day, human beings can exist for one day.
It doesn't matter whether the earth's environment changes or not.
But even so, the sun will burn out sooner or later.
Human beings cannot and cannot wait for the sun to go out. We must vigorously develop science and technology, go out of the solar system and enter deep space.
Only in this way will mankind not be wiped out.
"If humans want to survive in the universe for a long time, the only way out is to develop science and technology. There is no other way for us to choose." Su Zhe said with certainty, "But in this process, even if there are no external natural disasters or external threats , we must also be careful about ourselves, especially the application of technology. Once we are negligent, mankind will destroy itself."
For example, the combination of artificial intelligence and brain-computer integration related technologies.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to completely enslave mankind.
Directly shield the human brain from controlling the body and completely take over the human body.
Once the mechanism of the human brain is understood, artificial intelligence can directly interfere with the human brain, tamper with it as much as it wants, and set it as it wants.
At that time, artificial intelligence may tame humans like chickens and ducks, and use human bodies as carriers of artificial intelligence.
After all, no matter how awesome the robot is, it is difficult to achieve the precision of the human body.
Or more simply, artificial intelligence will directly wipe out humans.
The application of brain-computer integration related technologies is one aspect, and the use of artificial intelligence is another aspect.
This is why they have adopted a cautious attitude towards the development and application of artificial intelligence from the beginning, not only prompting relevant departments to strengthen supervision, but also to be wary of the rise of artificial intelligence from the very beginning of the development of related technologies.
For example, large-scale facilities such as SS-defense systems, light beam projects, beam channels, communication systems, etc. all have protection against artificial intelligence.
As for the terminal, this is even more true.
Brain machines, humanoid bionic robots, mechas, etc. also have protection against artificial intelligence.
For the sake of safety, barriers have been set up in many key places, and they are still physical barriers.
Doing so sacrifices efficiency to prevent the possible emergence of strong artificial intelligence in the future.
"Yes, yes!" Zuo Dajun reminded, "Well, we are only 150,000 kilometers away from the moon. Our speed has reached 550 kilometers per second. Now we have to slow down with all our strength."
After he crossed the spaceport, they increased the acceleration to a maximum acceleration of 300 g, and reached a speed of 550 kilometers per second in just a few minutes.
If we don't decelerate with all our strength now, its speed will not slow down when it reaches the moon.
Fan Xiaoming said in surprise: "It's so fast, it only takes us three minutes to cross the space port."
"It's so fast." Bao Qizheng said, "With the way we fly, the whole process from the Sanmen base on the earth to the permanent base on the moon only takes a little more than ten minutes. This is because it is in the earth's atmosphere. You can’t accelerate at full speed, otherwise the use time will be shorter.”
Xu Zhengping sighed, "Quick! Too fast! I remember that when we first landed on the moon, it took seven hours. With the continuous optimization of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, it was reduced from seven hours to five hours." , three hours. Up to now, it only takes two hours for the flying saucer to go from Sanmen Base to the Moon Base, while our remotely controlled mecha only takes a little more than ten minutes. This speed was unimaginable before. Of course, this is impossible. human condition.”
Bao Qizheng said: "The humanoid mecha can be faster. After all, the maximum acceleration of the mecha is 150 g, while the maximum acceleration of the humanoid bionic robot is 200 g."
"It's not just because the humanoid bionic robot is light in weight. If the humanoid bionic robot weighs the same as a mecha, try it. If you can still achieve an acceleration of 200 g, then I will admire you." Zuo Dajun said.
Fan Xiaoming said: "You... only remote-controlled mechas, humanoid bionic robots, or cargo-carrying flying saucers can be so fast. No matter what it is, once there are people, its acceleration will not be faster. Now, the mecha's acceleration section, No one can carry one hundred and fifty g."
For example, now, the normal acceleration of a cargo flying saucer transported from the earth to the moon is 100 g, and the whole process will not take more than half an hour.
But once it is manned, the manned flying saucer will fly slowly, and its acceleration will always be maintained at 1.5 g.
There is no way, adults will find it unbearable if the speed is exceeded.
Looking at it from above shows the fragility of the human body.
In the past, they also discussed doing projects to strengthen the human body.
For example, their current project to study the human body.
After discussion, it was unanimously agreed.
When doing human body research projects, we will try to do human body strengthening projects, but this will only be limited to research and will not be promoted.
The reason for this decision is that enhanced humans are detrimental to existing humans.
In other words, current humans will be eliminated by enhanced humans.
