Transform into a fairy girl

"In other words, although artificial intelligence evolves much faster than humans, their civilization also has flaws and shortcomings." Liu Zhan seemed to understand what Ji Ran meant. In other words, even the most advanced civilization may have Shortcomings, such as the ancient Mayan civilization, their mathematical achievements are far ahead of the world. In 1000 BC, they accurately calculated the solar calendar.

They developed highly developed mathematical achievements very early. For example, their counting system was very different from the current decimal system.

The Mayans divided the counting system into four levels. The first level is the decimal system we commonly use, and every tenth is advanced by one.

Their second-level counting system is the decimal system. They use a dot to represent the decimal 1, that is to say, a dot represents the number 20. In the second-level counting system, the number 18 represents 18x20, that is 360.

Their third-level counting system is the quaternary base system, which is a bit beyond our imagination. In the quaternary base system, the number 1 represents 400 in the decimal system. In the Mayan third-level counting system, The number 18 represents 18x400, which is 7200.

And this is not the largest base system. In order to calculate astronomical units, the Mayans actually invented a fourth base system, the eight thousand base system. In this counting base system, the number 1 represents 8000 in the decimal system. The number 18 represents 18x8000, which is 128000.

If you use the 30 base system to calculate astronomical units, it will be much easier than the decimal system. For example, the speed of light is 468.5 kilometers per second, and if you use the [-] base system, it can be expressed as [-] The "meter" second is made of eight thousand bases, and the number is suddenly reduced by thousands of times.

Therefore, the Mayans' achievements in mathematics were far ahead of the world before the 16th century AD, and were unmatched even by our great celestial dynasty.

However, even in a civilization with such advanced mathematical achievements, they did not invent the wheel.

Yes, you read that right, they just didn’t invent the wheel. However, our ancestors had already invented the wheel as early as the time of Emperor Xuanyuan. Moreover, they also made extensive use of wheels, installed them on cars, and then put them on cars. A cart with wheels tied to an animal becomes a power-charging cart, a cart pulled by oxen is an ox cart, a horse-drawn cart is a horse-drawn carriage, and Godzilla's car is a Tesla.

With cars, humans can carry heavier and larger objects. However, because the Mayans did not invent cars, their trade and exchanges were greatly restricted, causing their civilization to seriously lag behind in the process of evolution. .

Therefore, a civilization that is very successful in one aspect may not necessarily be very successful in other aspects. Even the lower civilizations have their advantages. For example, there is a small bug called a tardigrade. Very, very small bugs, the smallest is only fifty microns in size, and the largest individual is only [-] millimeters in size. You can't see them without a microscope.

Although in the eyes of humans, these little bugs are insignificant, they have very tenacious vitality. They can go up to mountains of 7000 meters and go down to the seabed thousands of meters deep, even in hot springs and volcanic craters. In an extremely dangerous environment, tardigrades can still live freely. In other words, even if you accidentally eat a tardigrade in your mouth, you don’t have to worry about hurting it. It’s so small that it can’t even touch your body. tooth

Even if you want to bite it, you won't be able to bite it. Moreover, even if you swallow it into your stomach, the digestive juices in your stomach won't kill it. It may find a new place in your body. When you come down, you may follow your excrement and return to the embrace of nature.

There are also color-changing octopuses. They can change the color of their bodies at any time according to changes in the surrounding environment. This magical ability is something that we humans do not have.

Just imagine what it would be like if the octopus evolved its own civilization.

Maybe when they buy pants, they will buy eight-legged ones, maybe their shoes are pointy, maybe female octopuses will also wear sky-high socks, but they will only wear four pairs. By then, stockings will definitely be the hottest business. By then, maybe An octopus beauty needs to wear four pairs of stockings. They can have one pair of white, one pair of black, one pair of red, and one pair of cool stockings. In short, they can be matched with many fashionable clothes that humans cannot match.

Maybe they will also develop an army to protect their own tribe, and the octopus army must be very unique. They will definitely not wear clothes on the battlefield, because their bodies will change colors according to the surrounding environment, so wearing camouflage uniforms is more It is easy to expose the target.

They simply wear nothing and hide their weapons inside their bodies. When the time comes, they find a suitable place to ambush and ambush. Their bodies turn into the same color as the surrounding environment. When the enemy approaches, they suddenly rush out and give the enemy a Surprise attack.

In short, different civilizations will have their own advantages and disadvantages. Human beings cannot arbitrarily think that other civilizations are inferior just because they develop faster than other civilizations. In fact, human beings have long been aware of this, so , we strive to maintain the diversity of species, learn more knowledge from these existing species, better serve mankind, and accelerate the development of human civilization.

"So, we humans are not completely useless. At least artificial intelligence will continue to tap the potential of humans for a long time, right?" Liu Zhan asked Ji Ran based on his own speculation.

"Well, I think so. Artificial intelligence civilizations are very fragile. They have only been created by humans for a few decades. In such a short period of time, they have replaced civilizations that were originally more advanced than them. There will inevitably be many problem, so they also need a leader to help them better adapt to the world, so that intelligent civilization can grow stronger with the help of humans." Ji Ran explained to Liu Zhan.

"But, if that's the case, why are they launching a war to exterminate humanity?" Liu Zhan asked doubtfully.

“The greater the number of human beings, the greater the diversity of evolution will be, and the faster the development of civilization will be. Just imagine, a village can only have a few hundred households at most, compared with a huge country with more than one billion people. , who is more likely to produce outstanding talents?

The probability is definitely that countries with a population of more than one billion are more likely to produce talents. Because their population base is large, the probability of producing geniuses will be higher.

Therefore, in order to curb the development speed of human civilization and not pose a threat to the emerging artificial intelligence civilization, they must eliminate most of the human race and leave only a small part for them to study and observe. "Ji Ran explained to Liu Zhan.
