Speaking of which, when science and technology develop to a certain extent, such technology can be realized.
What we need to do is nothing more than digitizing organisms and synthesizing organisms based on these data. This process cannot be realized now. Just like the experiments done now, the virus can be replicated at the atomic level. From a biological perspective, the virus is completely replicated. However, the virus looks the same in terms of body structure, but in other aspects It is lifeless.
In other words, the current problem can only copy the shape of the virus, but not its spirit. Zuo Dajun said awkwardly: "Well, there must be limits. If there were no limits, it wouldn't be a mess. Don't talk about other things, we can just fuck each other. But then again, this kind of technology can help When it comes to the spread of our human beings in the universe, as for other places, there are limits to how well we can do it. Of course, a person can also achieve the crossing of time and space in this way, as long as two people appear in the same time and space, but then Is it still myself? It’s really hard to be sure.” In his opinion, the current self is himself, and the others are not him. Even if it is a copy, the one that is exactly the same as him is not himself, and the two are also independent individuals. , in a moment, the two people began to have differences.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "It's good to know. If you don't control it, it will be chaos. Of course, there is still a long way to go to develop such technology. I don't know when it will be possible." Realization, we don’t have to worry about this now.” With such technology, it is very difficult to realize it.
For example, in current research, even if the shape of a virus is copied, the virus cannot be copied. These are only the simplest organisms. Like those plants and animals, their structures are more complicated. If you want to completely copy them, The difficulty can be imagined.
Therefore, such technology still has a long way to go, and it will take a long, long time to realize it.
You know, there are many people and organizations doing research in this area, and almost all of them are stuck at this stage now. Even if we break through this stage, there is still a long way to go.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "Yes, we don't have to worry too much about this at this stage. Even if it does come true, the relevant departments will definitely have strict supervision systems. However, if such technology is used in a good place, it can benefit all mankind. If If used in a bad way, it will be a disaster for mankind. Therefore, technology is a double-edged sword. It depends on how people use it." People have known for a long time that technology is a double-edged sword.
It might have been better in the past. The most destructive things were nuclear technology and some biotechnologies. But things are different now.
Nowadays, more and more technologies can threaten the survival of the entire human race. This is why the supervision of science and technology is extremely strict. Even if one is not careful, the current human race may be wiped out.
He is very clear about this. Zuo Dajun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes! Technology is a double-edged sword. With such technology, if that lunatic copies thousands of copies of himself, what will be the final result? I dare not Imagine, speaking of it, even if you can just directly copy adults, if there is no supervision, the consequences will be catastrophic. I don't want to increase our human population in this way. It is better to directly create robots." With the development of time, the emerging technologies are becoming more and more advanced, and their destructive power is also becoming more and more powerful.
Biodigitization and replication technology. Such technology contains many key technologies, such as direct biological synthesis technology, biological digitalization technology, etc.
Not to mention other things, just biological synthesis technology, this is a very unparalleled technology. Think about it, if we had such technology, we could directly synthesize all living things. Then what would the world look like without restrictions?
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Let's not worry about it. We don't know when this kind of technology will be realized. We don't know if we will still be there by then. Of course, I hope I can live until that day. Then It will be exciting in the future. Using this kind of technology, people from different eras can be brought together. It’s funny to think about it.” Su Zhe said with a smile: “Again, such technology must have limitations, that’s You can use it as long as you want. As far as I know, it is very difficult to implement this technology. After all, it involves the essence of life. It is very difficult. But we have time. Sooner or later, it will be realized. It is estimated that human beings will be able to use it by then. The level of civilization development has been very high, and it may be different from our current thinking. It’s really hard to say what the final result will be.” Xu Zhengping nodded and said: “Yes, it’s really hard to say what will happen in the future. , maybe we will never know the essence of life, or in other words, before we get to that step, we will encounter aliens and be destroyed by the aliens, so we must do our best in the present. , you can think long-term, but you have to do a good job in the present." Several people flew towards the Chinese mainland while chatting.
The speed they fly on the sea is very fast, but it is different from the sea on the earth. There are many creatures in the ocean on the earth, including those that fly in the sky and those that swim in the water. The ocean is very calm, with no animals or plants.
The few people went all the way north and soon arrived at the edge of the Chinese continent. In the distance, they saw patches of green.
There are patches of plants, and you can see a big house in the middle of the green. Around the big house, there is a vegetable field and farmland. In the vegetable field, there are domestic robots working, and in the big house In the courtyard, there are four people playing cards around a square table.
These four people were two men and two women. They all looked to be in their forties, but their actual ages were all over eighty.
Several people were led by Si Wenbo to the big house. After introducing each other, everyone became familiar with each other.
Then, the couple stopped playing cards and started chatting with Su Zhe and others. For Su Zhe and others, what they are curious about is the feelings of people living on the Second Earth.
According to this couple, life now is too monotonous. They basically still live according to their past living habits. They rarely use brain computers except when necessary.
But now they don't have to do anything by themselves, it's very boring. Speaking of which, they often go to the human breeding center to see their children. They hope that their children can come one day earlier.
After all, we still have to wait seven months. He also said that they were very excited when they first came to Proxima Centauri, but after a while they didn’t feel much at all. Also, with the arrival of the Penglai Space City, the only thing they are interested in now is going to the Penglai Space City. Stroll around the space city.
You know, although Penglai Space City is not as large as the usable area of Second Earth, Penglai Space City has a large number of people and complete facilities. After all, the facilities of Second Earth are still being improved.
After chatting with the couple for a while, Su Zhe and others left. They still wanted to have a good time in the land of China, and then went to the center of the Second Earth, where the proton nuclear fusion device was located.
When visiting the land of China, several people also discovered that it was not just a few of them who were visiting, but also many, many people. Of course, most of them were remotely controlled humanoid bionic robots. These people were distributed in all possible places. Of course, most of them are on Earth.
In addition to humanoid bionic robots, there are also real people driving flying cars to play here. These people are basically from Penglai Space City.
As far as the current situation is concerned, both parties go to their respective places to play. On the way, Su Zhe and others always said hello to the tourists and asked about their feelings about living here.
According to these people, there is not much difference whether you live in Penglai Sky City or on Second Earth.
The small environment around them can be completely customized according to their requirements. If you just look at the small environment around them, it can be exactly the same as on the earth. Add in the brain-computer and virtual universe, and it will be even more the same.
You know, with brain computers and virtual universes, learning and scientific research, or playing, are the same, and there is no delay at all.
If there is a difference, it is that the general environment is different. Of course, what these people talk about most is their children. They all hope to see the birth of their children one day early, so that their lives will not be so monotonous and will be more interesting.
But this monotonous life will continue for another seven months. A few people were flying while looking at the land of China. Zuo Dajun said with emotion: "This terrain is really copied from the earth. There are too few animals and plants now, and the ground is still bare. I believe that after a period of time, Over time, things will change drastically. I believe that Second Earth will become a paradise for animals and plants." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "You can put it that way! Anyway, humans on Second Earth don't expect these animals and plants to live. They need to change. It has to be the same as the earth. It will take more than ten or twenty years anyway. After all, it takes time for animals and plants to reproduce." At this time, I saw a large group of engineering robots, and I knew that these engineering robots were sowing grass seeds. , and these engineering robots all come from a terrestrial animal and plant breeding center.
In this way, Su Zhe and others followed these engineering robots to the terrestrial animal and plant breeding center. Like the Marine Animal and Plant Breeding Center, those working on the front line are basically engineering robots and humanoid bionic robots, and there are also many laboratories.
After leaving, Zuo Dajun said: "Look, we can build a second earth quickly, but we can't build an ecosystem quickly. It takes time to build it bit by bit. After all, living things take time to grow, but if It's different when we have the technology of synthetic biology. We can build an ecosystem in a very short time." The construction of Second Earth is very fast, whether it is the main part, the ocean, or the land, these can These can be completed quickly, as long as there are enough energy and resources, but the ecosystem cannot.
The protagonists of the ecosystem are living things, but there is a process for the growth of living things, especially animals and plants, which take time to grow little by little.
Naturally, building an ecosystem takes a long time. At this time, the importance of synthetic biology becomes prominent. If there is synthetic biology technology, organisms can be produced like industrial products, and an ecosystem can be created in a short period of time.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Speaking of synthetic biology again, let me put it bluntly, such technology is difficult to achieve. It is impossible to achieve at this stage, actually! There is no need for us to be in such a hurry. The creation of the ecosystem is also It’s not something that can be achieved overnight. Of course, you can’t start from scratch like this. You know how we did greening in the past! We are now also cultivating a large number of animals and plants on the earth, and it’s still very large-scale. In the future, we can directly create new human beings. Move the place of survival." As he said that, Fan Xiaoming waved his hand, and a big picture appeared in front of them.
In the picture, it was a very large ring-shaped device. Then, the details inside the ring device appeared, all kinds of plants, all kinds of animals, everything that exists on the earth can be found here.
There are also many engineering robots and humanoid bionic robots. Zuo Dajun looked at these and said: "I have only heard about it, but I have not paid attention to it. Sure enough, we still did it. After all, the number of animals and plants on the earth is limited. It is okay for us to take some, but not too much. "As far as he knew, from the beginning, just like the animals and plants in Penglai Space City and Second Earth, they were basically collected on Earth.
A little bit at the beginning is okay, but if it is all taken from the earth, it will not be enough to divide the earth. After all, just a second earth is equivalent to the earth.
If it is not obtained on the earth, it can only be cultivated from scratch like the current Second Earth, or it is not like greening in the past.
Si Wenbo looked at the ring device and said: "This model is feasible. Take Second Earth as an example. If we adopt the current method, it would be extremely time-consuming to build a complete ecosystem. It requires early cultivation. Animals and plants, we can build a second earth very quickly." In his opinion, the greening model is the most reasonable.
You must know that human beings live not only in Second Earth, but also in many other places. However, no matter which kind, the environment is the same as that of the Earth, so animals and plants are needed to build a complete environment. ecology.
Xu Zhengping looked at Si Wenbo and said with a smile: "Professor Si, I heard that your Tsinghua University is planning to build a Second Earth production line, saying it will produce a thousand Second Earths per year, let alone , your Qingda University ambitions are really big enough. This first Second Earth has not yet ended, and you are thinking so far. But having said that, an annual output of one thousand is still too conservative. Think about the size of the Milky Way, and then Considering the size of the universe, this output is completely insufficient."
