After this paper on the universe and human society was published, it immediately attracted the attention of relevant departments, and its authors and related personnel were organized to discuss this issue.
A year ago, a paper like this might not have made a single splash after it was published. At that time, publishing such a paper was no different from science fiction. After all, it was difficult for human beings to leave the earth, and it was not idle to restore the universe and human beings.
A year ago, these issues were discussed more in science fiction than in academic papers. You must know that the science and technology at that time was still very far away from the time to discuss this issue.
But today, a year later, the whole environment is different. Humanity has the ability to develop the entire solar system, and the emergence of brain computers and virtual universes has accelerated development. With current science and technology, as long as humans master controllable nuclear fusion technology, humans will have the ability to explore interstellar space.
This is the right time to publish this paper. The universe and humanity, the future of humanity. These are real issues before us now.
How it develops determines the future destiny of mankind. After seeing the flash of the explosion in the distance disappear, Bao Qi thought for a while and said: "The emergence of new human beings, digital life, and those weird intelligent life, to be honest, it will be a matter of time, and these are out of control." It's only a matter of time before we humans control it. It's basically impossible to prevent it." Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "Yes! Unless we stop development now, these are unavoidable. After all, we can't prevent everyone." A person, not to mention leaving the solar system, the distance between human beings scattered throughout the solar system is too far, and it takes half a year to exchange information. How can I care, there are some strange and weird people in this situation. Legal control.”
"As we said before, if we want to completely solve this problem, we need to develop instantaneous information transmission technology and turn the universe into a cosmic village. These problems will naturally be solved, but this is possible, but now there is little hope. Bao Qizheng said.
Fan Xiaoming looked at the four ring-shaped devices getting closer and said: "We can study this technology as our long-term goal, but we cannot expect to actually develop such a technology. In my opinion, if we want human beings to survive forever, then Just increase the human population and spread humans throughout the universe. In this case, unless the universe disappears, human beings will not be wiped out." After the publication of this paper, through the research of relevant departments and the use of relevant models, According to the deduction, if we want human beings to coexist with the universe, the only way is to increase the number of human beings and spread them throughout the universe.
According to his predictions, it won't take long for the relevant plans to be released.
Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "So, you also agree to use technological means to increase the number of humans." Whether it is the current development of the solar system or the future development of the outer solar system's space, the current population is far from enough.
According to the natural growth rate of population, it is too slow and cannot keep up with the speed of development. As far as the current situation is concerned, the number of people can only be increased through technical means, but due to ethical issues, this plan is still under discussion.
In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before this plan is passed. Fan Xiaoming nodded first, then shook his head.
"Actually, whether I agree or not, the result is the same. The plan to use technological means to increase the population will be passed sooner or later. If you think about it, you will know that it is difficult to develop the solar system with our small population, let alone develop the entire universe. Furthermore, we will not be able to develop the solar system. We need to make long-term plans, and for the overall benefit of our species, spreading humans throughout the universe is the right choice... I don’t know if you have paid attention to the current propaganda, but the population issue is already being planned." Bao Qi is on point. He nodded and said: "Yes, we are indeed making plans in this area. The increase in population is imminent. It can be said that it is inevitable to use technological means to increase the population." Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "Don't forget Well, the main thing we came here to visit this time is artificial uterus technology. This technology is the key to increasing the population." Regarding the research on artificial uterus technology, when I first applied for the project, it was said that it would be used to increase the number of livestock such as cattle and sheep. .
After the success of this technology, the problem of population emerged. It is natural to think of using this technology to increase the number of people.
"Yes! The main thing we came here to see is the artificial womb technology. I heard that this technology has been successful in the reproduction of livestock, and has now been promoted to all mammals, including us humans." Fan Xiao Say it clearly.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "Speaking of which, by combining artificial womb technology with transgenic technology, we can create Superman, the kind of human being who has no flaws." With the current technology, using gene editing methods to create Superman is There's no problem at all, it's just that it's expressly prohibited.
"What is the army thinking? Don't even think about genetic modification. Even if you increase the population through technological means, things like editing human genes are expressly prohibited. Once discovered, it will be a felony." Fan Xiaoming explained,
"If we really let go, we will be human beings like us. They are new humans and transformed humans. This is no longer a matter of simply increasing the population." In just this year, science and technology as a whole have exploded. development, biological science is the same.
Not only artificial womb technology, but gene editing technology has also achieved great development. Today's gene editing technology is even more powerful. If you want to edit a person's genes, it shouldn't be too simple.
Similarly, because these technologies pose such a huge threat to humanity as a whole, their supervision is also very strict.
Bao Qizheng shook his head and said: "It's better not to edit human genes. Small-scale research is fine. Large-scale population increase is fine. To put it bluntly, this is digging your own grave. It's a bit rational. No one would do this." We really cannot let go of editing human genes. Once we let go, everything will be in chaos.
Genetic technology has broken down the genetic barriers between materials. At first, it may be editing between genes that are only available to humans, then it may be cross-species editing, and finally it may be manufacturing genes for editing.
If this continues, any kind of monster may appear. Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "It is true that we cannot do this. Speaking of which, this situation will really happen in the future and it is unavoidable. But we absolutely cannot do this now, but relevant research still needs to be carried out. , I wonder if you know that Ecosystem No. 3 will conduct large-scale research in this area, and many strange monsters may appear in it in the future. To be honest, if it were not for research, there is really no need. Do this, but we can’t do it if we don’t. If we don’t understand these unknowns, they will always be a threat to us humans. Only by thoroughly understanding the nature of life can we prevent and control it.” No. 3 Ecosystem The design has been completed, and its main research topic is the essence of life.
There are basically no ethical restrictions on it. Speaking of which, the supervision of Ecosystem No. 3 is extremely strict.
In order to conduct research in this area, a restricted area will be designated in the space close to the sun, and Ecosphere No. 3 will be placed in this restricted area.
Furthermore, there were no humans in Ecosystem No. 3 at the beginning, and humans were prohibited from entering. All operations were completed by upgraded humanoid bionic robots.
Also, this restricted area can only be entered and cannot be exited. Once an abnormality is discovered, the SS-defense system will be destroyed directly.
This is no joke. The last thing is the loss of control of the No. 3 Ecosystem. Once out of control, the entire No. 3 Ecosystem will be pushed into the sun.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "I know a little bit. We are involved in the supporting facilities of the No. 3 Ecosystem. It is really confusing to talk about it. If we don't study it, it will always exist. If we don't study it now, someone will naturally do it in the future. We might as well study it now." He knew about the No. 3 ecosphere. Speaking of it, this ecosphere was crazy enough, and its size was a quarter of the moon.
Bao Qizheng nodded and said, "Yes, I also know that we have many orders for humanoid bionic robots, and we are also involved in the design of the No. 3 ecosystem." Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming also nodded.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Our Jiutian Research Center is one of the participants. To be honest, research in this area is necessary, but supervision cannot be relaxed at all, otherwise it will be a disaster." For the No. 3 Ecosystem, everything has been drawn It's a restricted area. You can imagine how dangerous it is to study these things.
You know, if something is wrong, the entire No. 3 Ecosystem will be pushed into the sun. The purpose is to prevent anything from the No. 3 Ecosystem from coming out.
Bao Qizheng said: "You can rest assured about this. The area where the No. 3 Ecosystem is located is a restricted area. Things can only enter but not leave. As for the exchange of information, these are within the scope of supervision. If there is anything wrong, the No. 3 Ecosystem The only fate of the circle is to fall into the sun." There are no living people in the No. 3 ecological circle, and all operations are completed by remotely controlled humanoid bionic robots.
The information exchange between the humanoid bionic robot and the controller is conducted under supervision, and any deviation can be discovered.
And communication transmission in restricted areas is controlled. The reason why we are so strict is that we are afraid of accidents.
Also, the No. 3 Ecosystem is always within the sun’s falling orbit. The reason why it does not fall is because the power system on the No. 3 Ecosystem continues to output power. Once the power disappears, the No. 3 Ecosystem will disappear. Will fall into the sun.
Su Zhe nodded and said: "It is right to be so cautious. Future research on the same threatening technologies should be like this. We must be more careful to prevent catastrophic consequences if something goes wrong." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "I also said that because of the emergence of Ecosystem No. 3, many highly threatening research has to be relocated to the low orbit of the sun, such as research on digital life and research on strong artificial intelligence, which have a profound impact on human beings. Not to mention those with huge threats, using this method can indeed solve these problems, no matter how strong it is, we will destroy it on the physical level to see how you can still exist." This is the case with Ecosystem No. 3.
It studies the nature of life. There will inevitably be a lot of cross-species gene editing, and it is normal for some weird monsters to appear.
It's not impossible to create some mess like orcs, supermen, and fish-men. Cross-species gene editing was done. At that time, there was nothing that could not be imagined or impossible.
In order for an unpredictable accident to occur, the worst-case scenario is for Ecosphere No. 3 to fall into the sun. It is impossible to fall into the Sun Queen 3 ecological circle and still have the possibility of existence.
The same goes for other studies. Whether it is digital life or strong artificial intelligence, it is foreseeable that 80% of these rely on matter to exist.
In the worst case scenario, destroy it directly on the physical level, and that will be the end of it. Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "This is the right approach. Anyway, now that we have brain computers and humanoid bionic robots, we can completely conduct research through humanoid bionic robots. This will facilitate supervision and avoid unnecessary mistakes to a greater extent." Necessary disasters happen." Now it's not like before, where real people have to be involved in research and stuff.
With the emergence of brain-computer and humanoid bionic robots, just like the No. 3 ecological circle, this kind of completely closed research is carried out, and all substances can only enter and exit.
This facilitates supervision and prevents accidents to the greatest extent. Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "Speaking of which, when all the threatening research is moved near the sun, the relevant researchers will also move there. It is estimated that there will be many space cities in the surrounding area." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "That's right. Yes, after all, the effective control distance of humanoid bionic robots is 700,000 kilometers. If it is too far away, there is no way to control it. Speaking of which, those space cities that are actually being built and designed are extremely luxurious. Compared with those in the past A luxury cruise ship is even more luxurious, and that is a life like an emperor." Zuo Dajun said nonchalantly: "That's nothing, those things are nothing in front of the free space of the virtual universe, what kind of life like an emperor, in the virtual universe... Life can be realized." Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "There is no comparison with the virtual universe. But having said that, the virtual universe is better than the virtual universe, but we cannot fully open it now. Even if it is open, it will be one by one. The opening of points is not allowed in the real world and is not allowed in the virtual universe, so there is no comparison."
"That's right, the virtual universe won't be fully open for a while." Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said,
"Ecosystem No. 3 is placed on the edge of the sun. If the sun is pushed into the sun under uncontrollable circumstances, will it cause unpredictable consequences for the sun? If there is an accident and the sun explodes, then we humans estimate that That's about it." This is no joke, Ecosystem No. 3 is not small, it is the size of a quarter of the moon.
It’s really hard to say what the consequences will be if such a large volume enters the sun.
