The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 426 Barriers (4K)

"The degree of human understanding of the material world depends on the degree of awareness of the composition and structure of matter."

Li Ang Youyou said: "The extent to which humans transform the material world also depends on the degree of cognition of the composition and structure of matter.

Soldiers on horseback in the Middle Ages advanced and attacked at a speed similar to that of the torrent of steel during World War II; the production concept of the fireworks wrapped in paper tubes used in the Song Dynasty was not much different from that of modern black powder bombs.

That's right, even if we can't continue to recognize the structure of matter, human science and technology can still make progress.

Just like the ancients could manufacture giant ocean-going sailing ships, bird guns and cannons, and even purely mechanical difference engines to perform simple Fourier transform operations.

However, if they do not know what molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons are, they will never be able to step into the era of pure electrification, unable to manufacture atomic bombs, rockets, and satellites.

The existence of sophons is equivalent to setting up a wall in front of us. Behind this wall, we can develop various technologies and continue to sing and dance, but we will never be able to completely overcome the technical barriers.

This wall is not against us, but all races in the galaxy.Even the Chitauri, whose exploration of particles of matter is no further than ours—the same wall stands in front of them. "

Li Ang smiled and said sarcastically: "Gods are selfish, for their own safety and power, they maliciously set up barriers in front of all beings, and no mortal race can cross them.

Only in this way can the strong position of the gods be consolidated for thousands of years and thousands of years, so that they have enough technological advantages to strangle all challengers. "

In an interstellar level war, any slight advantage in technology will be infinitely magnified.Even if it is only a deeper level of analysis in the microscopic material field, it is enough to produce a huge advantage-just like the United States, which completed the Manhattan Project during World War II, can crush other countries that have not yet possessed atomic bombs.

The particle physicists were still in the shock stage, but the special envoys from various countries with a keen sense of smell quickly reacted—these political creatures sensed the cruel meaning behind the technical barrier almost at the same moment.

"Mr. Leon, those" from the French special envoy hesitated for a moment, and said with some difficulty the words that seemed quite taboo in Christian countries, "...God, are they really to guard against the so-called quantum omnics?"

"Maybe."

Li Ang said with a smile: "Compared with mortal races, quantum omnics do have a huge advantage, and it is worth paying all costs to guard against them.

Speaking of this, we would like to thank our Mr. Tony Stark, the inventor of the genius of the sky, together with several other scholars, jointly created a quantum machine called 'Ultron', which triggered Tomoko's attention.

At this moment, there are already dozens of hundreds of civilized races, driving interstellar warships, flying towards the solar system in Orion's arm, and they are bound to wipe out all traces of human existence. "

Everyone's eyes turned to Tony Stark in unison. This once respected playboy lowered his head in pain, not daring to look directly at the cold eyes of his peers.

"Mr. Leon, maybe we can try to negotiate with the alien race?"

A special envoy said hesitantly, "Compromise, mediate, give in, even if it is an alien race, it won't be so brainless?"

"It's a beautiful idea."

Li Ang pouted and said: "In the dark forest of the universe, it is extremely stupid to blindly trust other civilizations. For the continuation of the race, we need to use the most malicious thoughts to speculate on others.

Just imagine, if one day, the orangutan population on the earth suddenly had intelligence slightly inferior to that of humans, what would human civilization do?

Will it teach them with great kindness, endow them with advanced technology and ideas, and let humans and orangutans step into the journey of the stars and oceans together, or will they strangle this infant "civilization" without hesitation? "

The special envoys of various countries looked at each other, almost without thinking, and gave a neat and consistent answer: "We will eliminate it without hesitation."

The real world is not that stupid Hollywood movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", that stupid movie that promotes "species symbiosis" and "species equality", which can only deceive ordinary people and let them continue to show kindness. Can't fool these elites.

Please, it is difficult enough for human beings to survive on the earth. Population, food, energy, disease, religious beliefs... These deep-rooted problems have brought human beings to the brink of collapse, and there is no leisure to support some orangutans.

What if the orangutan acquires technology and in turn poses a threat to humans?What if these orangutans go to war with humans?Use those white left virgins to go up and block the guns?Bai Zuo's characteristics are "dead friends never die poor people", "generosity to others", Bai Zuo is good at sacrificing the interests of others, but Bai Zuo can run faster than anyone else when the knife comes to his head.

Starting from the moral concept of human civilization, instead of vigorously supporting or letting go, it is better to nip the problem in the bud before it arises.

"If you continue to think about it along this line of thought, then those 'Gods' are not completely bad, or they really have a great advantage that cannot be challenged."

A special envoy frowned and said: "If they are completely bad, then these sophons should be responsible for the extinction of the species, rather than watching from the sidelines.

In other words, they may not have an absolute advantage, and still need to face the challenges of other civilizations, and dare not kill intelligent races on a large scale within the Milky Way. "

"This is good news for us." Another envoy nodded, "But we still need more information from the Chitauri.

In the face of this level of confidentiality, any secrecy measures cannot be overstated. "

After all, the special agent glanced at the bustling particle physicists on the observation platform with the corner of his eye—for no reason, a chill drifted through the hearts of the scholars.

"It's not necessary." Li Ang curled his lips and said casually: "The function of a sophon is not limited to interfering with particle collisions. It can not only invade any electronic device, cause interference and manipulation to it, but also monitor and monitor the human world. .

Sophon can hear every word we say here clearly. "

"What?!" The special envoys almost dropped their chins to the ground, ignoring the reservedness of the superiors, their eyes widened like copper bells.

"Hehe, after all, Sophon is a scientific and technological creation that has been ahead of mankind for countless years. It is not surprising to have the ability to grasp this little detail."

Li Ang said with a smile: "Fortunately, sophons cannot invade the human brain, and cannot implant ideas and thoughts in the human brain. It can be said that our thinking is our last barrier."

"." The special envoys lowered their heads one after another. The importance of this information is unquestionable. If even the communication methods between human individuals, such as language, pen and paper, and e-mail, will be eavesdropped and interfered by sophons, then the preventive measures for sophons Must be upgraded again.
"We will notify the United Nations to set up a specialized agency to deal with these matters." The envoys said: "So Mr. Li Ang, what is your suggestion? How should we respond to the upcoming threat?"

"It's very simple, develop, use the maximum efficiency that the human race can produce, and seek development."

Li Ang said indifferently: "Sky elevators that can transport matter to low-earth orbit, earth-centered tunnels that directly connect to various regions of the earth, anti-gravity engines, sub-light speed spacecraft, and gravitational bombs.
Quickly mastering these technologies is the basis for human beings to resist alien invaders.

And all of these have to break through the sophon barrier first, and all rely on the efforts of you particle physicists. "

Although the particle physicists present were not believers in pure reason, the attributes of "objectiveness", "rigorousness" and "keeping thinking" were still engraved deep in their minds.

The particle physicists responsible for the fate of the race recovered immediately after a short period of heavy pressure, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Li Ang, what do you think the essence of a sophon is?"

"At present, we don't have much information. Based on the current data, I speculate that those alien civilizations are two-dimensional expansions of a fundamental particle.

The two-dimensional particle plane is as big as the surface of a planet, enough for alien civilization to etch extremely fine circuits on the particle plane and make it into a machine.

When you're done, re-dimension the particle so it shrinks down to a normal particle. "

Li Ang paused for a moment, then said calmly: "And this kind of particle should be a positively charged proton."

"Why not neutrons? Is it because the nature of free neutrons is unstable?"

"There is this reason," Li Ang nodded, and said, "Compared with neutrons, protons are less likely to decay, and protons have positive charges. A zero-dimensional expansion instead of a two-dimensional expansion is likely to cause a black hole.

The use of positively charged protons allows alien civilizations to use magnetic fields in advance to bind the upcoming black holes and prevent them from causing indiscriminate damage. "

Many scholars lowered their heads, frowned and began to think. After a while, someone raised his head and asked: "After the etching circuit is completed, these protons become microscopic machines.

The acceleration of matter in the microscopic field is much simpler than in the macroscopic field. Protons can be accelerated to the speed of light and run towards the planets in the Milky Way. "

Someone in the crowd echoed: "More than that, there is enough room for manipulation on the two-dimensional plane. Alien civilizations can give protons the power to absorb vacuum energy, so that protons don't need to worry about energy depletion. Most importantly, the microscopic The protons in the domain can reach the speed of light by themselves without facing the terrible acceleration load in the macroscopic domain.”

"Very good, you are starting to infer other things from one instance." Li Ang nodded and said: "Just imagine, being able to accelerate to the speed of light by itself means that only one or two sophons are needed to completely block all particle accelerators of lower civilizations.

LAC, HERA, BEPC, SPS, SSC
Although these particle accelerators built by humans are distributed in different countries and regions, they are too close to sophons running at the speed of light.

Sophons can completely interfere with the particle collision experiment of the first accelerator, and then rush to the next location to interfere with the experiment. "

Some scholars raised their hands and said: "Wait, then we can also start more than two particle colliders at the same time, so that a single sophon will not work."

"It's useless." Li Ang shook his head, and said indifferently: "Sophon's thinking reaction speed and action speed far exceed that of humans, and the time it takes to rush from the first collider to the second collider is too short. Even with the most advanced detection instruments of human civilization, it is impossible to detect this extremely small error.

Not on this side, not on the other side, not in the middle, Sophon, who travels at the speed of light, has the ability to crush human detection instruments in all directions. "

What Li Ang said was a bit heavy, but after all, he was in front of the most intelligent group of people on this planet, and he quickly put forward several ideas.

"Mr. Li Ang, can we build more particle colliders? For example, hundreds? Thousands? In that case, with detection instruments, it may be possible to correct the fallacy caused by sophons."

"It's possible, but it's not realistic enough." Li Ang shook his head and said, "There may be more than one sophon, and according to my estimation, we need at least [-] particle accelerators operating at the same time to ensure that a single sophon has no time for others. , too late to interfere at the same time.

In that case, the manpower, material and financial resources consumed would simply be astronomical. Even if Academy City's mechanical octopus was responsible for the construction, it would not be able to gather the precious metal materials needed for the particle accelerator in a short time.

Moreover, the huge land area occupied will also have a huge impact on human society. "

Li Ang paused for a moment, seeing that someone in the crowd was about to ask aloud, he said in advance: "There are two ways to prevent the interference of sophons. One is to build enough particle accelerators, which has been denied. Make the distance between them long enough."

The second method made the experts excited, but they immediately withered down. If there is only a single sophon, it is okay, but facing multiple sophons, it is really unrealistic to extend the distance.

The experts fell silent, and someone whispered unwillingly: "Mr. Li Ang, didn't you just successfully prevent sophon interference? If we continue to experiment, we may discover new particles and new material structures without interference."

"That's unrealistic." Li Ang shook his head, destroying the assumptions of the experts, "I just discovered the Higgs particle three times in a row, all because of the accumulation of previous experiments, and I can do the experiment again under the previous conditions, which is equivalent to Shooting at giant targets is simple and easy.

But it is much more difficult to discover new particles. Even if the interference is ruled out, it is only a 0.000001% chance of subtracting a 0, which also requires thousands of repeated experiments.

Even I can't maintain the barrier all the time to stop Sophon. "

Li Ang's words disappointed the experts. For this group of scholars who have struggled in the field of particle physics all their lives, blocking the way forward is undoubtedly the most painful.

".Is our future decided just like that?" Someone said bitterly, "If we can't break through the sophon barrier, then no matter how we develop, we won't be able to compete with the alien fleet you mentioned."

"That's not the case." Li Ang shook his head, and said calmly: "All you have to do is buy time, unite forces, and rapidly develop technology. As for the problem of the sophon barrier, I will go out for a while to solve it."
