When Zuo Dajun heard this, he was very surprised.
Digitization!
According to Fan Xiaoming, as long as there are resources, energy and corresponding equipment and technology, data can be materialized.
Take the final form, which is the ideal second Earth, as an example, which is a copy of the current Earth.
According to traditional methods, it is to build a second earth. As for the ecology on the second earth, such as microorganisms, plants, and animals, "seeds" are needed when replicating these.
Microorganisms need the microorganisms themselves, plants need seeds, and animals at least need fertilized eggs or embryos.
In other words, these require physical objects.
But according to what Fan Xiaoming said, digitization is not necessary.
Because all of these have been digitized, they can be restored based on these data.
In this case, the construction of Second Earth is much simpler. With only a small amount of equipment and all the data of Second Earth, Second Earth can be copied. In other words, copying the entire Earth is a copy of the Earth. everything on.
The five of them followed the robot in front of them, which was holding the little rabbit that had not yet opened its eyes.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "This is possible. When we develop to a certain level, it will not be difficult to do this. Of course, we don't have this ability now. As far as the current situation is concerned, we can't pass it now." The only thing that data can be copied is life, and everything else is possible."
The essence of life has not yet been completely analyzed. Once this is done, it will be easy to copy.
In the future, copying a fertilized egg will be as easy as copying a computer now.
With the development of technology, it is possible to digitize a person and then use the corresponding technology and equipment to replicate that person.
But it's not to this extent yet.
It is said that it is impossible to copy humans now, but now it is possible to copy all industrial products.
It's the same thing.
For example, copying a humanoid bionic robot can only be copied based on the data related to the humanoid bionic robot.
The same is true for other industrial products.
Bao Qizheng went on to explain: "Now the digitization work is in full progress, not only for future replication, but also for improving the virtual universe. In other words, these data will enter the virtual universe. As long as the virtual universe exists in the future, These data exist, even if all of us humans disappear in the universe, it is possible for us humans to reappear in the universe."
Data is actually information.
It is also quite necessary for the digitization of the real universe.
To be honest, if the digitization of the real world, or the digitization of the earth, is realized, the development of human civilization in the universe will be greatly accelerated.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "Understood, it seems that we still need to study a lot. If we want to realize digitization, we must study everything in detail. As far as the earth is concerned, we need to digitize the earth. Then we need to study some aspects of the earth, even small details. This level of difficulty, to be honest, is really beyond our capabilities, and it requires the participation of many people."
How much work does it take to digitize the earth?
Dataization, in this case, is also dataization at the atomic level, even more detailed.
The amount of work involved is staggering.
After digitization, we need to be able to move from digitization to materialization. This process is not easy either.
How much manpower and material resources does this require?
For now, there is no problem in terms of material resources. What needs to be kept up is manpower.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "So we want to increase the population, not to mention exploring the universe. There are already too many things that we need to study. The more people, the better, so that we can develop quickly. Only in this way can we achieve our goals.”
"That's right, that's right, the more people, the better." Zuo Dajun smiled, "To say
In the past, we restricted the development of population because our resources were limited. There were too many people and our resources and energy could not feed so many people. But it is different now. It can be said that when our proton fusion device is successful, Our human population can increase uncontrollably over a long period of time until we reach the limits of cosmic resources and energy. "
In the past, humans could only rely on the resources and energy on the earth, and their population was inevitably limited.
Simply put, it is the output of the earth’s food.
In the past, food on earth was limited and could only feed so many people.
In ancient times, there were not many people in the world. However, in modern times, with the development of planting technology, mainly the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and now biotechnology, global food production has continued to increase.
What followed was a huge increase in population.
That is to say, with the increase in productivity and food supply, the global population has also increased significantly.
But the grain harvest at this time is still largely dependent on the weather.
In the history of the world, there have been instances of crop failure caused by abnormal weather, and the result was a humanitarian disaster.
The lack of food caused a significant decrease in population.
Compared with war, once there is no harvest caused by abnormal weather, the consequences will be more serious.
This was in the past, but it is different now.
With today's science and technology, as long as there are sufficient resources and energy, there will be an endless supply of food.
The most critical thing is that the output of these grains will not be affected by weather factors.
Simply put, this is not the past.
Let’s not talk about the resources and energy outside the solar system, nor the proton fusion device that is about to succeed, but let’s talk about the current scientific and technological achievements.
Humanity will not be short of food for a long time. With the increase of space farms, there will only be more and more food.
According to calculations, there is no problem in supporting hundreds of billions of people with the resources and energy of the solar system.
This is only the resources and energy in the solar system. If we include the resources and energy outside the solar system, the number of humans will be a truly astronomical figure.
According to his idea, the number of humans can increase without limit until the entire universe is filled.
Bao Qizheng said: "What! For a long time, the more humans there are, the better. Think about the resources and energy outside the solar system. How many people can these resources and energy feed? Even in the observable universe? It is also an astronomical number. When coupled with the unobservable universe, the number of humans seems to be a terrifying number. Let me put it this way, if the number of humans is enough and the range of the universe is wide enough, we humans can Stand in an invincible position.”
There are so many benefits to having more people.
Regardless of the fact that more people consume more resources and energy, there is also more output!
From a historical perspective, as long as there are enough humans and the space they occupy is large and deep, they will basically not be wiped out by humans at once, and there will always be a chance for them to stand up.
This is not nonsense, this is a fact.
Anyway, there are enough resources and energy now. When the proton fusion device is realized, human civilization will be able to move from space civilization to interstellar civilization, and humans will be able to exploit energy and resources outside the solar system. At this time, there will be more resources and Energy is available for more people to consume.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is most correct to increase the population to the maximum extent.
The universe is so big that it needs many, many people to fill it.
"Of course." Zuo Dajun smiled, "No matter when, the number of people is an advantage. In the past, there was no way. But now it is different. We can increase the population without limit. Anyway, we can feed it now. , don’t worry about resources and energy issues.”
Xu Zhengping lamented: "There have been descriptions in science fiction in the past, saying that when we humans can use the resources of the solar system, we humans will be able to feed more people. When we humans can use the resources and energy outside the solar system, we will be able to feed more people." By then, the number of us humans will be even more terrifying. Unexpectedly,
What's amazing is that we are facing such a problem so quickly and being able to utilize the resources and energy in the solar system so quickly. "
Bao Qi nodded and said: "Yes! Who would have thought that we would develop so fast. I think we will soon enter a period of rapid development, which is when the population increases significantly. Although our human population is large As the magnitude increases, the energy and resources we humans consume also increase, but the resources and energy we obtain also increase. We don’t have to worry at all that we humans can’t support such a large population.”
The current situation is that as long as the sun is good, humans can obtain a steady stream of resources and energy from the solar system.
At this time, that is, now, mankind still depends on the problems of the solar system.
The problem of resources now is easy to say, maybe the source is highly dependent on the sun, and the vast majority of the human population is now on the earth.
To be honest, human beings today are still very fragile.
Once something goes wrong with the sun, so does the entire human race.
If you think about it, you will know that if there is a problem with the sun, it will be fine if it is minor. It will cause some disasters on the earth. Some of the equipment in space will be damaged, and there will be losses, but it will not damage its fundamentals.
But if the sun undergoes major changes, it can directly destroy most of the facilities and equipment in space, and the environment on the earth will also be completely changed. At this time, human beings will be about the same. Even at this level, with current science and technology, Humanity can still barely survive.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Yang releases solar energy all the time, which is also the result of the continuous fusion of matter.
The most abundant and widely distributed element in the universe is hydrogen.
Hydrogen itself is a resource, and it can also be said that a large amount of energy is stored in hydrogen.
For now, as long as humans successfully develop a proton fusion device, it means that humans have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology of protons, that is, hydrogen.
At this time, even if the sun goes out, humans can still survive.
Again, as long as humans master the controllable nuclear fusion technology, especially the controllable nuclear fusion technology of protons, that is, ordinary hydrogen, humans will be able to escape the limitations of the solar system.
As long as there are enough ordinary hydrogen, or protons, humans can exist in the universe.
You must know that the most indispensable thing in the universe is protons, which means that human beings can survive freely in the universe and are not limited by space.
By mastering proton controllable nuclear fusion technology, mankind will achieve energy freedom, and mankind will be able to mine resources everywhere in the universe.
Human beings can continue to build an environment suitable for human survival.
According to Qingdao University's plan, human beings can continue to copy the Earth, which is the second Earth. According to Yanda University's plan, they can continue to transform celestial bodies as a living place for human beings.
As for Yanda's plan, it is completely feasible to transform the star system in the universe into a star system like the solar system.
In the final analysis, what restrains human development is energy. To be more specific, it is the science and technology at our disposal.
We must know that the resources and energy in the universe are there, and whether we can obtain those resources and energy depends on the science and technology mastered by human beings.
