From black technology to super engineering

"The current achievements of human beings are all based on the 'power' of your cognition of the universe-I don't know if I am correct?"

Orlando looked at Ye Ming and asked softly.

Ye Ming nodded calmly after thinking for a while—as the de facto supreme wise man of the Silver Moon Kingdom, Orlando naturally has good insight and understanding, but after a pause he added: "In the human structure, there are Four basic forces. The most widely used by human beings is the electromagnetic force.”

"Yes, we are actually developing in this direction now, so that our two civilizations, which are separated by thousands of light years and have never been masked, can exchange electromagnetic signals at the first time."

"Convergent evolution, convergent selection." Ye Ming added succinctly.

"Well, in an environment with similar conditions, the creatures and technologies born develop in the same direction. It is indeed a bit like the arrangement of the creator-we call it an evolutionary maze." Orlando looked at Ye Ming: "Chief Ye Can you understand?"

Ye Ming nodded with a smile.

Mazes can have countless entrances, but generally there is only one correct exit.

The closer you get to the correct exit, the more consistent the choices will be.

Orlando understood Ye Ming's smile, and he also smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Based on the evolutionary maze theory, every civilization will face various temptations when making key choices... Maybe you accidentally walk into it. Another passage that seems to be bright, but is actually a dead end—there are even many civilizations that were given up by the Creator without even having the chance to choose—do you have this saying?”

"We say this, but the connotation refers to the laws of the universe."

"That's the same." Orlando nodded, then looked at Ye Ming curiously and said: "I'm a little curious, when you have not entered the stage of space civilization, have you ever imagined other civilizations in the universe?"

"Yes, but because of the limited means of observation and information transmission, we once thought that... the universe may have a big filter, which means that every civilization will go through countless trials similar to filtering when it goes to the universe-this hypothesis is to resolve another classic paradox, which is, if there are exoplanet civilizations, where are they?"

Ye Ming smiled and gave Orlando a brief introduction to the many imaginations of human beings about extraterrestrial civilizations.

Orlando listened carefully, and finally nodded with a smile: "The big filter and the evolution maze have similar meanings—but in the evolution maze theory, there is a hypothesis that is the midpoint reward."

Orlando looked at Ye Ming: "It means that even if you go the wrong way, you will get some rewards."

Ye Ming exhaled slowly.

He probably understood what Orlando meant.

In the history of human technological development, such choices abound.

For example, if the ultimate pursuit and goal of the development of science and technology is defined as mastering and utilizing the resources of the entire universe, then... the steam engine, internal combustion engine, etc. that opened the curtain of the human industrial revolution are "rewards".

But they are undoubtedly the wrong route-if human beings continue to smash the steam engine, even if you smash the steam engine for 10,000 years, you will not be able to fly to the earth, at most you can play steampunk.

The internal combustion engine is better, but it is still a dream to accomplish what it is today.

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Ming looked at the small silver box: "So, this is your reward?"

"That's right." Orlando also looked at the box, and said softly, "I said earlier that your achievement is the use of 'power', so our... is the use of energy."

Ye Ming frowned without leaving a trace, because the two cannot be separated. But he didn't point it out, but signaled Orlando to continue.

"Just as the Kra people obtained matter from the high-dimensional universe through their intellectual brains, we also obtained unknown magical matter through the collision and fusion of various elementary particles—you call it strange matter, right?"

"Hmm...you can call it that now—also from Gaowei?"

"No, from low-dimensional." Orlando looked at Ye Ming: "Humans should have a theorem about heat-it is impossible to transfer heat from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object without causing other changes. Right?"

Ye Ming nodded slowly: "The second law of thermodynamics-don't tell me you can violate it."

"Of course, it is impossible to violate all the behaviors involving the matter of this universe." Orlando said softly: "But another theory extended from this can be violated."

"Entropy reduction." Orlando used human scientific vocabulary.

Ye Ming took a breath for a moment.

"Our ancestors invented the entropy reduction system and created a powerful force field, which can create instantaneous singularities and capture energy from nothingness."

"When the ancestors were at their most glorious, powerful accelerators were established in several galaxies to obtain this substance."

"We call it, zero."

After finishing speaking, Orlando pushed the box towards Ye Ming.

"Here is all the information of Zero."

Ye Ming got up, took the box with both hands, and after a moment of silence, he exhaled slowly.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." A smile rose on Orlando's face. He glanced at the neighbor and said softly: "Personally, I really want to see how far human beings can go."

"Well, you should be able to see it."

...

...

Half an hour later, Ye Ming appeared at Wangwang Township Academy of Sciences.

The predecessor of the Academy of Sciences was the first base built by Mogu and the others, which was also the earliest scientific research base. After the establishment of the academy and the change of the base to a "city", the scientific research center became the Academy of Sciences.

In the plan, the Wangxiangcheng Academy of Sciences, or Youmuxing Academy of Sciences, will be a large-scale comprehensive scientific research base in the future that will be dominated by humans and supplemented by people from the Canglan Star.

It's just that now, because the large force of the Kela people has not yet arrived, most of the remaining Hailin, Guli and others are on temporary positions, and their official work is teaching. Therefore, the researchers in the Academy of Sciences are all human beings.

Although the dean of the Academy of Sciences is Mo Gu, Ye Ming presided over the meeting in an overwhelming manner as soon as he came - the meeting was mainly in the form of remote, and on the side of Canglan Star, there were only him, Mo Gu, He Mo and the astrophysicist Wang Xuesong these four people. The main participants are still the group of people who stayed on Earth.

Ye Ming clarified the "gift" from Orlando in a few sentences, and as he expected, when everyone heard the entropy reduction system, they couldn't help being stunned.

After a long time, He Mo glanced at Ye Ming timidly - her major is not theoretical physics, she came here mainly because she is the person in charge of CNY.

"This...isn't it a timely gift?"

"Not really, not even the icing on the cake." Ye Ming looked at He Mo, then at the phantom on the conference table, coughed lightly and said, "Even from Orlando's description, the substance requires Only a powerful accelerator can hit it—with this skill, we might as well build more ships.”

Academician Duan nodded approvingly: "It makes sense, according to the description, they seem to use this zero substance to create artificial singularities and shields at most... right?"

At this time, a slightly dissatisfied voice sounded.

"You forgot that you can get energy from nothingness."

When everyone looked around, they saw that Professor Huo Laien, whose hair was already half white, but whose face was still energetic, frowned and looked at Ye Ming: "If you are bolder, then this is zero-point energy in a vacuum."

Academician Duan was well aware of Professor Huo Laien's temper, and he was not annoyed at all. He chuckled and said, "In terms of cost, vacuum zero-point energy may not be stronger than the energy system under our existing industrial system—of course, this thing is indeed It is a new theory that can support our physical building, and if an accelerator is to be built, I definitely support it with all my strength."

Hearing what Academician Duan said, the expression on Professor Huo Laien's face was somewhat satisfied. After pondering for a while, he said softly: "Also, that person said that this is a substance from a two-dimensional space?"

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded slowly.

This... is what he values ​​most!

Because human beings are now in a three-dimensional universe!

According to the theory, it is impossible for human beings to "see" the two-dimensional universe!

After all... high-dimensional versus low-dimensional, it has God's vision.

Take the current two-dimensional energy that is in full swing, human beings have basically a comprehensive understanding of two-dimensional space, and can perform various operations on two-dimensional plane space with the help of accelerators—even some scientific research teams have proposed, You can try to simulate the environment at the beginning of the universe on a two-dimensional plane to see if real two-dimensional creatures can be born.

Of course, such an idea is just a thought at present. Humans do not have the conditions to conduct such laborious research—several accelerators are working overtime to make rice grains!

But here Orlando said that they grabbed matter from the low-dimensional universe.

This is a bit too much.

In the venue, everyone fell into silence.

Mo Gu watched Ye Ming quietly from the side and was also lost in thought. She put down the pen, the corner of her mouth moved slightly, and a smile flashed away - although she is the dean of this Academy of Sciences, what Ye Ming discussed today, she But I couldn't understand half a sentence.

But this did not prevent her from seeing Ye Ming being stumped at the meeting.

In the silence of everyone, Professor Cao Xinyu, who has been in charge of the analysis of strange matter, suddenly said: "Academician Ye, I want to make sure... Are you talking about a two-dimensional universe or a low-dimensional universe?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, and immediately said after thinking for a while: "Low-dimensional universe."

"Well... I have an idea, I don't know if it's right."

"you say."

Professor Cao Xinyu nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "In the process of studying exotic matter, we once made a hypothesis, that is, whether the natural regression of high-dimensional matter can be extended to all and three-dimensional matter. From different substances in the world..."

"If there is such a matter in a low-dimensional world, or in other words, matter that is one dimension lower than ours-that is real low-dimensional matter, not our two-dimensional matter...Can it be used to explain quantum Fluctuations?"

"Here, we don't need this substance to come from one-dimensional space or two-dimensional space, as long as it is not high-dimensional or three-dimensional... that's fine."

As Cao Xinyu's voice fell, Ye Ming's eyes gradually lit up.

In silence, he exhaled slowly: "If your guess is correct, then...we can not only explain the vacuum zero point energy, but also obtain the vacuum zero point energy—and it is not necessary to use this substance as a 'raw material' .”

Everyone nodded after thinking for a few seconds.

He Mo and Mo Gu were confused, and they both looked at Ye Ming at the same time.

However, Ye Ming didn't notice the two of them, and soon began to summarize, giving a follow-up research task on the "taboo" technology of the Krong people.

Ten minutes later, the meeting ended. Ye Ming took a long breath and sat on the chair tiredly, but his face was full of smiles.

"You said that we can use the zero-point energy of vacuum without using that zero-number substance?" Mo Gu put down his pen and looked at Ye Ming with doubts: "How did it come about?"

"Hmm..." Ye Ming thought for a while, and felt that it would take three days and three nights to explain this question clearly, so he smiled and said, "Well, do you know what Orlando just told me?"

"say what?"

"He said..." Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "In the understanding of the civilization of the universe by the Krong people, they introduced a theoretical model called 'Evolution Labyrinth'."

"Evolution maze?"

"Well, that is, the technological end point of this universe is a labyrinth. Under the arrangement of the Creator, there are countless civilizations distributed at countless entrances... Through various conditions that may be the same, or similar, or different, these civilizations... or Said that these species, after passing through wave after wave of screening like a big filter, began to move towards the end from the entrance where they were."

"Can you understand me?"

"Yes, you continue."

"Since it's a maze, someone will definitely go the wrong way, and those who go the wrong way, once they reach a certain node, enter a certain stage... will get a certain reward."

Ye Ming looked at Mo Gu as he spoke, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

"For the Canglan Star people... or the original enlightener civilization, their rewards are the brain, the Slanzi matter, and all kinds of powerful technologies born from it."

"For the Tara people or the mother civilization of the Wisdom Mother, the reward they get is the use of dark matter and dark energy..."

"As far as the Krong people are concerned, the reward they get is the zero substance, the entropy reduction technology."

"For... the executor legion and the sacred civilization... what they have obtained is probably the tachyon technology..."

Mo Gu listened quietly, since Ye Ming said it so clearly, she could understand it naturally.

At this time, He Mo suddenly asked: "Then... what about us? What rewards do we humans get?"

Ye Ming breathed slowly, with strong confidence in his voice.

"No matter what substances those civilizations obtain beyond the space of this dimension...for human beings, they can be understood and explained-and once the understanding and explanation are completed with the human scientific system, then human beings do not need any Additional substances can accomplish the same effect."

"Therefore, we humans have obtained the correct path."
