As the number of humans increases and the space under control becomes larger and larger, some things are impossible to avoid.
For now, the use of technology can achieve the unity of mankind to a limited extent, but that is only now. With the development of human civilization, diversification is inevitable.
After hearing this, Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "It's true, some things are inevitable. This Fire Plan is the optimal solution. It can at least ensure that we humans will not disappear from the universe. As for the rest, it depends on luck. "
At this time, the four people flew out of the wasteland, and what appeared in front of them was an endless stretch of water.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Dajun said a little stupidly: "Is this a sea or a lake? Are there any fish in it?"
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "This is the sea, a very big sea. As for fish, there are no fish now, but in a while there will probably be. Just like those wastelands, they will change drastically in a while."
"Then let me take a look at our location. I know that the topography of the Second Earth is a replica of the Earth." Zuo Dajun said and waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of the four of them.
It can be clearly seen from the map that their current location is quite close to the edge of Australia, and they are flying towards the Pacific Ocean to the north.
Xu Zhengping looked at the map and said, "Did you see that our current target is our Chinese land? You know, those 100,000 people live in our Chinese land. Of course, with the start of the population increase plan, the number of people There will be more and more, and by then there will be people on every continent."
The usable area of Second Earth is the same as that of Earth. After all, Second Earth is a replica of Earth.
Zuo Dajun looked at the map for a while and said with a smile: "This is the Earth of the Second Earth. It is exactly the map of the Earth. Even the place names are exactly the same. To be honest, this is the Second Earth. It cannot be Want to make some differences? That’s it. When the Second Earth is fully perfected, it will be no different from the Earth.”
On the map, both the topography and the various names are exactly the same.
Fan Xiaoming glanced at Zuo Dajun and said: "This is what we want. Think about it! How many second earths will we have in the future? As you said, they all need to be differentiated and have different features. The name, that’s it, naming it can annoy people to death. The most important thing is that it can make most people have the same cognition and the same feeling, so that more people can have a common sense of identity. "
From the beginning, relevant departments have required that, like Second Earth, it not only replicates the Earth's general environment, but also retains the names of topography and landforms.
The reason for doing this is so that more people can have the same sense of identity.
Su Zhe smiled and said, "I think this arrangement is good, so that everyone knows where they come from. Besides, all we ask for is the same start. As for the future, it's up to you."
Zuo Dajun said with some embarrassment: "Then when we chat, we have to report the number, otherwise it will be easy to get confused. It's funny just thinking about it. Let's not talk about the sense of identity. It is indeed a difficult problem to choose a name. If there is no second The earth has to have different names, which is okay, but if there are still internal differences, it will be ruined and it will really annoy people to death, just like people’s names, they will be repeated no matter what.”
If you think about it, you will know that there will be no shortage of second earths in the future.
Let’s not talk about the entire universe, let’s talk about the entire galaxy. How many second earths will there be in the future?
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "That's right! It's easiest to just copy the ones on Earth. After all, everyone is familiar with them, and it saves the effort to re-recognize them."
Suddenly, the four of them stopped because a humanoid robot was approaching quickly behind them.
The person who came was none other than Si Wenbo, a professor at Tsingta University.
After Si Wenbo stopped, he looked at Su Zhe and the others and said, "I knew it as soon as you arrived, and I came here specifically to see you."
Xu Zhengping said with a smile on his face: "Professor Si, congratulations! Your Second Earth has achieved great success."
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Zuo Dajun also followed behind to express their congratulations.
Si Wenbo was very excited and said with a smile: "We are happy together.
This is a success for all of us. Without the help of Lingzhou University of Science and Technology, our Qingdao University would not have completed the construction of the Second Earth so quickly. "
With that said, several people, led by Si Wenbo, flew towards the marine life breeding center on the sea.
Soon, several people came to a huge device floating on the sea. The total area of this device was ten square kilometers, which was the marine life breeding center.
On the pier, there are many aircraft of different sizes.
Several people came to the pier, and Si Wenbo introduced: "There are ten such marine life breeding centers in the world. The purpose is to breed marine life and make it the same as the earth's oceans."
Zuo Dajun smiled and said, "Professor Si, when you talk about the world, I feel a little bit obedient."
Si Wenbo said nonchalantly: "Just get used to it. Besides, there's nothing wrong with calling the Earth a duplicate of the Second Earth. You can't just rename it!"
"That's it, that's it." Zuo Dajun said, looking at the small aircraft being loaded on the dock, "What are these loaded with?"
Zuo Dajun said and ran over to take a look.
Two engineering robots were driving a forklift to load a large box into the small aircraft.
However, before Zuo Dajun got close, he was stopped by another engineering robot running over, saying that he could not interfere with the work of the engineering robot.
Zuo Dajun did not go over and asked some questions.
The engineering robots were very considerate and answered them one by one.
This box contains cyanobacteria and is to be released into the ocean.
Suddenly, Zuo Dajun realized that there was something different about this engineering robot. At first glance, he realized that the controller behind this engineering robot was not artificial intelligence at all, but a seven-year-old girl.
After Si Wenbo's introduction, several people knew that this little girl was not a simple girl. She was an important participant in the marine breeding center. She knew everything about the marine breeding center and was the direct person in charge of the marine breeding center.
In this regard, Su Zhe and others were not surprised at all.
You know, just after the popularity of brain computers, geniuses are constantly emerging, especially for children in the younger age groups.
Many children have also participated in the front line of scientific research, and their contributions have been huge, especially those with weird ideas, which have greatly promoted innovation.
If you think about it, you can tell that this is not the past.
Now there are brain computers, virtual universes, and sufficient resources.
What’s more, even if a child’s ideas are against the sky, they can be simulated in the virtual universe. If there are those who break through the bottom line or are wrong, they will be blocked. To put it simply, there are conditions for children to continue to think. attempt.
The most important thing is that now they are all remotely controlled humanoid bionic robots or other robots, so there are no physical limitations. Just like on the Internet, you really don’t know whether there is a three-year-old child or an 80-year-old man behind it. old man.
Afterwards, several people entered the marine life breeding center under the leadership of the little girl.
What I saw were engineering robots and humanoid bionic robots busy, as well as many bottles and cans and various instruments.
During the whole process, I visited the marine life breeding center and listened to the little girl’s explanation, from the microorganisms in the ocean to the killer whales that dominate the ocean, from plants to animals, from the water to the sky and so on.
These are bred at the Marine Life Breeding Center.
According to the little girl, the original animals and plants used for breeding are brought from the earth. After being bred and cultivated in the marine breeding center, they will be released into the ocean.
After visiting the main parts of these breeding centers, the little girl took Su Zhe and others to the experimental area.
There are many laboratories here, and these laboratories are doing research related to marine life. As for the scientific researchers, there are a wide range of them, ranging from children as young as five years old to grandfathers as old as ninety years old. some.
Similarly, Su Zhe and others are not surprised by this.
Now is not the past. In the past, most people did
It's screw-driving work, and it's all repetitive work, mainly producing food and industrial products. As for the people involved in front-line scientific research, there are very few.
This was the past, but it is completely different now. Nowadays, front-line scientific research personnel account for the vast majority. Anyone who wants to can participate in scientific research work. To say that there are no people involved in scientific research work now, or they are I'm lazy, I just lie down, if it's not true, there are no cells for scientific research.
But no matter what, the vast majority of people nowadays are involved in scientific research work.
When visiting these laboratories, those people were very excited after knowing the identities of Su Zhe and others, especially after learning about Su Zhe.
As for the projects these people research, there are many, including all kinds of weird projects.
Of course, most projects serve Second Earth Ocean.
Finally, several people came to the little girl's laboratory together, and the little girl introduced her research project in detail.
To put it simply, the project the little girl studies is a replication of life.
For example, the current reproduction of marine life requires primitive animals and plants. For example, the reproduction of killer whales requires killer whale embryos to reproduce on the basis of embryos, or in other words, killer whale spermatogonia and Oogonia.
The little girl's research project is that primitive animals and plants are no longer needed for the reproduction of living things.
The specific process is to digitize the spermatogonia and oogonia of killer whales, and then use substances to directly synthesize the spermatogonia and oogonia of killer whales, thereby achieving the reproduction of killer whales.
Just like human reproduction, as long as you know human spermatogonia and oogonia, you can directly synthesize human spermatogonia and oogonia. In this way, you can obtain human sperm and eggs, and you can survive until fertilization. Eggs, coupled with artificial uteruses, can complete human reproduction.
You must know that in the current construction of human habitats, all primitive organisms are obtained from the earth. This process is somewhat troublesome, and then there is the Fire Project.
If digitization is realized, or living things can be paid through information, then the Fire Project will be more concealed, and there will be no need for a device as big as the moon.
It only requires the most basic equipment and devices, plus various digitized technologies, knowledge, organisms, etc., to completely replicate the earth.
To put it simply, as long as there is a digitized earth, the earth can be copied. In other words, the inheritance of living things can be completed through pure information.
If it were realized, it would be even more difficult to think about the annihilation of humankind.
As long as human digitized information still exists, it is possible for humans to reappear in the universe. Furthermore, the rate of human reproduction in the universe will also increase significantly.
Neither humans nor other creatures can withstand excessive acceleration. This limits the expansion speed of humans in the universe.
The most important thing is that in this way, the Second Earth can be continuously copied at the fastest speed in the universe. After all, what is transmitted is information, not living things.
After listening to what the little girl said, Su Zhe and others highly praised her and also gave their own opinions.
You must know that it is not just little girls who are doing research in this area. It is no exaggeration to say that there are not millions but hundreds of thousands of people doing research on this.
Speaking of which, the problem now is the giving of life.
Nowadays, most people are studying viruses. With current technology, it is possible to completely copy viruses, but the copied viruses are dead and there is nothing wrong with them.
To put it simply, this is building the body of the virus, but not giving it a soul.
After the visit, Su Zhe and the others left the Marine Life Breeding Center and flew towards the Chinese mainland. On the way, several people were still discussing the little girl's project.
The most positive one belongs to Zuo Dajun.
Zuo Dajun did not go into technical details, but directly mentioned a tricky question.
"Well, if it is really realized, and I said it has been developed to an extremely high level, does it mean that the current me who is digitized can be copied in a very far place, or in other words,
If I wait many years to make a copy of myself, does that mean I can travel through time and space? Zuo Dajun said excitedly.
Fan Xiaoming looked at Zuo Dajun and said: "Dajun, what we are thinking about is how to implement such technology. How about you directly raise the issue to a philosophical level? Let me put it bluntly, even if there is such a technology, there must be many. Limited, as you said, when technology develops to the end, in the case of complete replication, two people can be said to be exactly the same, at least at the moment they are digitized. Then the problem is, your wife and Who knows, after digitization, you and the clone have different memories. Strictly speaking, you are two independent individuals, but you have the same body and the same memories of the past. This is difficult. Done."
At the moment of digitization, the two are exactly the same, whether it is the body or the memory, but they are different after that. Even if it is a copy, what is copied is the body and memory of that moment.
There is nothing wrong with saying they are the same person, and it is also okay to say they are two independent individuals.
