Yang Lie muttered, and then looked at the information in his hand.
The young man whose original name is Aya Pascoe and now named Yang Lie is one of several scientific teams belonging to the Determinator.
This is an incredible honor and status.
Different from the think tank team, Lu Yuanming treats scientists and scholars with the highest level of treatment and respect. He will hardly ask a certain scientist or a certain group of scientific groups to become his personal consultants. Among the consultants, one is Lin An's scientific team, one is the scientific team recommended and designated by the five major seats, and the other is Yang Lie's scientific team.
Precisely because they are few, they are valuable. The scientific team, including Yang Lie's team, basically represents the decision-maker to the outside world and the direction of human scientific research. Although it is an exaggeration to say this, Yang Lie There is no doubt that his team is a hot new star among scientists.
Because of this, since their faces were revealed during the Wandering Moon Project, the only thing that all members of Yang Lie's scientific team did in the following time was...reading!
That's right, from the beginning of the new century to the present, in January of the eighth year of the new century, all members of Yang Lie's team have spent all their time except participating in every meeting of the decision-makers and responding immediately when the decision-makers need consultation. On study.
This is actually a very helpless thing. As the personal consultant scientific team of the decision maker, this team should have soared to the sky and become a well-known top scientific team in the current human civilization system, but the problem actually lies here. ... Before Yang Lie's team became famous, it was actually a small regional scientific research team. It cannot be said that it is completely inferior, but it is also really inferior in the human science system.
There are no world-famous scientists, no outstanding papers or contributions to the scientific community, and they don't even have a good reputation. It is actually not a good thing for this team to suddenly become famous.
Fortunately, the people in this team are sensible enough. At the same time, Yang Lie, who has appeared in front of Lu Yuanming, is also sensible enough. They are not the kind of people who become dissolute after suddenly reaching a high position.
After becoming a member of Lu Yuanming's private consulting science team, Yang Lie discussed carefully with many members of the team for a long time before they started a study and further education plan. And relying on the name of the private consulting science team, everyone in this team They were able to enter the First Academy of Humanity for further studies, and also participated in the research and experiments of many top scientific groups, including the deep space research group of the great scientist Schiller Rodriguez, and the energy and energy research group of the great scientist Liu Yan. Quantum Research Group and more.
Eight years of immersed in study, without competing for fame or profit, just to solidify the foundation, this insight and perseverance are incredible.
And to this day, Yang Lie's group plans to create a blockbuster!
Just before Lu Yuanming got off work that day, he received an e-mail on his computer, which contained an appointment time for an interview proposed by Yang Lie's team.
Naturally, I responded directly and agreed.
Lu Yuanming didn't take it seriously at first, because if there was any big scientific discovery or breakthrough, he would definitely be the first to be notified. However, he actually only had these three scientific teams under him. Lie's scientific team also had the impression that it was Yang Lie's team that solved the metal problem of the moon's internal construction during the lunar project. He actually always remembered this great contribution.
There was nothing to say that day. The next day, Lu Yuanming received Yang Lie and his entourage in the morning. He specially found a small meeting room and just received it in his ordinary body... These people were his subordinates and confidants, so it was not easy for them to reveal their true colors. It doesn't matter, and this is actually a gesture of intimacy.
Everyone sat down. Lu Yuanming talked to them a few daily words and asked about their current research fields. Then Yang Lie handed over a document. Lu Yuanming knew that the real drama was coming. This was them. The reason for scheduling the interview.
"...Civilization classification theory?"
Lu Yuanming picked up the report and started reading it, muttering as he looked at him.
It is now January 8 of the new century, and the Spring Festival is less than a month away. It has been nearly ten years since Lu Yuanming became the decider of mankind. After such a long period of experience, Lu Yuanming has already changed from what he used to be. Although I dare not say that he is a peerless figure comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but at least as far as leaders and superiors are concerned, he is qualified.
Seeing the report at this time, he asked and looked at it: "What kind of charter is this? Isn't the civilization classification currently recognized by the scientific community based on energy acquisition and use? I think it's very good, such as the earth We were a level 0.7 cosmic civilization in that era, and now it is level one, while the Ai Bo civilization is a incomplete level two... Is there any problem?"
Everyone in Yang Lie's team looked at Yang Lie, and Yang Lie sat closer without hesitation and said: "This civilization classification does not actually have a fixed, or digital, detailed classification, it is just some agreed-upon knowledge. That's all, Your Excellency the Determinator, you should also know that we humans are actually pushed too fast. From the age of the earth to the deep space of the universe, we are actually not ready for anything, whether it is physically or psychologically. in this way."
Lu Yuanming sighed, nodded silently, and just continued to look at the report.
This is actually a public opinion.
Humanity is still far from ready to enter the deep space of the universe, whether it is from the technological level, material level, psychological level, social system and other aspects.
But in order to catch up, people have already reached deep space, and they have no choice but to carry on.
When Yang Lie saw that Lu Yuanming understood what he meant, he smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that we have too many flaws. Professionals will naturally make up for other flaws, but there is one flaw that has never been solved. people to mention or make up for it, and that’s why we have this report.”
"Is civilization graded?"
Lu Yuanming probably understood the meaning of Yang Lie and his group coming here. He recalled it in his mind while reading the report, and then he had to admit that what Yang Lie and others said was indeed true.
The civilization classification system currently used by mankind does not have a strict scientific basis. It comes more from science fiction works and conjectures about extraterrestrial civilizations.
To put it simply, how can you, a native of the planet who cannot even reach the first-level cosmic civilization, evaluate how strong a cosmic civilization is that has begun to colonize the entire star system, and even explores the civilization into the star system and marches towards the river system? , what level is it at?
Planet-level civilization, star-level civilization, river-level civilization, etc. are just general concepts of human beings. In the age of the earth, it naturally does not matter, because there are no aliens and alien civilizations for them to study. All those conjectures It's just conjecture after all, so let alone these classifications, even if you add some universe level, universe king level, universe emperor level, universe emperor level... it doesn't matter, it's just a word game.
But things are different now. Human beings have really entered the deep space of the universe, and have really come into contact with alien civilizations. One is the Martian civilization that has long since perished, and the other is the Epbo civilization that almost wiped out the human race. .
Moreover, in the foreseeable future, humans will come into contact with more alien civilizations. Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, the number will definitely not be small.
Because of this, rigidly ranking based on energy acquisition and use is actually very inconsistent with the current needs of human civilization.
Because it can be seen from this time that the AIBO civilization has a severely incomplete scientific foundation, but it is building a Dyson cloud, possessing curvature navigation technology, and also possessing a third-level cosmic civilization war weapon that is enough to shatter the stars. So, then At what level should a civilization be judged?
"...From the above, this is by no means a small issue that can be taken lightly. It is related to the core issue of our human civilization's future contact with other alien civilizations!"
Lu Yuanming saw this part of the report. He felt something in his heart, so he picked up a pen and drew a line under this paragraph. Then he said to Yang Lie resolutely: "This is a big problem. Since you Show me this report. It must be a draft. Send it to me as well. I will hold a seminar at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I hope you can attend. It is a seminar for the scientific community, nothing else. This matter really needs to be discussed carefully.”
Yang Lie was immediately overjoyed, not only him, but also the rest of the team.
This is their plan.
These eight years of studying have indeed solidified their intellectual foundation, but it has also allowed them to see themselves clearly...
how to say.
There is no place more realistic and cruel than the scientific world!
In every other field, there is a way to make up for one's weakness through hard work, and in other fields there are also many ways of success that rely on elders, family background, or chance.
But the field of science is different. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. Then you are the son of the president of the most powerful country in the world, or the son of the richest man in the world. It’s okay to falsify your academic certificates, but you really If you want to become a top or sub-top scientist, you really can't achieve it by relying on anything else!
Talent, talent, talent!
Don't say that success is 99% hard work and 1% talent. Without that seemingly unimportant 1% talent, even if you work hard to 300%, it will be useless!
And this is exactly the situation of Yang Lie's team.
Eight years of further study allowed them to solidify their foundation, but it also made them understand where their limits were. To put it bluntly, their team, even with the name Lu Yuanming Consulting Team, had no money or material. If there is a shortage, and then open up the recruitment, at most it can only be a second-rate team in the scientific community. It is extremely difficult to improve further. It is impossible to reach the first-rate, even similar to Schiller Rodriguez and It has reached the level of a top scientific team like Liu Yan.
This is the limit of their talent!
So after Yang Lie discussed with the people in his team for a long time, he finally decided on the direction of his team.
It’s really hard to give up competing with the real great masters in the field of science. Those great masters in the scientific world, even if they are not top-notch, can hang them up and beat them.
But being ignored by everyone is not their pursuit. They all know that they are very vulgar. Not only do they want fame and fortune, but they also hope to really do something that can really benefit human civilization.
So why not find another way?
Since they can't reach the top in the scientific field, why not combine a think tank team and a scientific team?
"Although it doesn't sound good to say this, let's admit it, everyone, we are such mediocre people, but we are not willing to accept it, so why can't we become a special team? For example... the only scientific team in the think tank team , or the only think tank team in the scientific team, this is our future!"
Lu Yuanming doesn't know what Yang Lie and his team think about Xiao Jiujiu, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. These are all trivial matters.
In the next few days, Lu Yuanming discussed and talked with many scientific teams, including several existing people who can be called great scientists in mankind, and finally came up with a civilization level classification recognized by scientists. Come.
"The first-level civilization is based on the 21st century of mankind. Its core is mature gunpowder weapons, powerful over-the-horizon missiles in the planet, and the development and application of nuclear energy."
"The second-level civilization is based on humankind's existing technology. Its core is the application of hydrogen fusion reactors and electromagnetic technology. Through the control of electromagnetic force, new materials can be popularized."
"The core feature of level three civilization is the widespread application of energy weapons and energy shields. The current speculation that energy acquisition may involve antimatter reactors, and the acquisition of antimatter may also be related to the application of higher intensity electromagnetic force."
"The core characteristics of Level 4 civilization may have two directions. One is space application technology. For example, mature curvature navigation technology should come from Level 4 cosmic civilization. At the same time, there has been breakthrough progress in the research of dark matter. At least Level 4 cosmic civilization has The ability to defend against attacks from the presence of dark matter.”
"The core features of level five civilization may be related to advanced applications in space, such as star gates, wormhole breakthroughs, etc..."
"The core feature of level six civilization may be the integrated application of time and space structures, such as jump technology..."
"Level 7 civilization..."
In the civilization classification, mankind has set the classification of cosmic civilization to nine levels in total, of which levels one to three are low-level cosmic civilization, levels four to six are intermediate cosmic civilization, and levels seven to nine are high-level cosmic civilization.
The divisions are no longer restricted by region, such as planetary level, star level, river system level, etc., but are based on specific application technologies. For example, the second level is electromagnetic force, and the third level is electromagnetic force. Advanced application and energy, level four is the advanced application of energy and space, level five is the advanced application of space and initial involvement in time, level six is the simultaneous application of time and space...
Of course, this classification also has many imperfections. After all, according to this classification, human beings are actually only a second-level civilization. It is really difficult for these scientists to use this level of civilization to measure and rate intermediate or advanced civilizations. We, so this rating is just that. We can only wait for the future technological level of mankind to improve and see more alien civilizations before revising and filling in them one by one.
However, because of this, subjects such as cosmic sociology and cosmic civilization have also appeared openly in the First Academy of Humanity, and have become one of the popular subjects.
Not to mention these, after the matter of civilization classification came to an end, another matter was immediately brought up by Lu Yuanming.
life!
Lu Yuanming wants to know whether he can use his colorless light particles to greatly increase human lifespan!
"If we don't want to take the life-extending path of mechanical ascension, then can we take the path of genetic ascension? Or..."
"What about the path to the ascension of extraordinary genes brought about by my extraordinary power?"
