Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 642 Ge Yingsa People

All of the above are ambitious plans that have not yet been realized. Whether they can be realized is unknown... But without ambition and fantasy, there is no way to become a truly advanced civilization. The current technological development has become increasingly difficult, and even smarter superhuman scientists have felt a sense of stagnation.

Since its birth, interstellar civilization has been a dangerous process of either advancing or retreating.

Because there are too many resources and the external pressure is not too high, there are many civilizations that have fallen and sunk. To summarize it in sociological terms, it can be called the "involution" process of interstellar civilization.

During the Earth period, a reporter once interviewed a boy who herded sheep and left a classic dialogue:

"Why do you herd sheep?"

"To sell them for money."

"What do you do with the money?"

"Marry a wife."

"What do you do with a wife?"

"Have children."

"Why have children?"

"Sheep herding." This dialogue vividly annotates this "involution" phenomenon.

The same is true for interstellar civilization. With a relaxed environment and no survival pressure, coupled with the difficulties of technological development, a civilization will gradually tend to stay in a simple repetitive, non-progressive reincarnation state for a long time. This state is the most convenient and stable for the entire civilization. If there is no external intervention, it will continue to exist like this.

But Yu Yifeng does not want the new humans to degenerate and become a boring civilization that enjoys material things all day long and repeats every day.

"Do you think it can be done? Especially in terms of assisting the brain."

The sun was shining, and Yu Yifeng asked Yuriko beside him.

The sun at this time was shining like a real star, which made people feel particularly comfortable. The glass cover high in the sky seemed invisible, and no trace could be seen.

"I don't know. We can't imagine the technology in four or five hundred years. Our talents have already reached a certain scale, and there are many geniuses in the next few generations..."

"But..." Yu Yifeng said: "I always feel that this is our last chance. Once we fail, these hundreds of years will be in vain, which is equivalent to not much development. Our civilization will not have enough will to climb these peaks."

Yuriko smiled slightly: "Anyway, even if it is in vain, we have to go on, right?"

"Yes. We have to go on, and keep going firmly..."

...

A month later, Pangu had left this natural boiling water planet and headed towards the Southern Cross Cantilever, close to the center of the Milky Way...

Time passed quickly, it always flowed forward firmly, and there would be no possibility of any backflow.

The ancient universe is always monotonous, and from a macro perspective, it is more peaceful than a pool of stagnant water. In the Milky Way, the frequency of supernova explosions is about once every fifty years. The short flash can only illuminate a small area, and then return to calm again.

In most cases, the entire Milky Way rotates quietly, as if everything will naturally age like this.

Most low-level civilizations live in their homes and cannot even step out of the gates of their planets.

Even most interstellar civilizations that have stepped out of the gates are gradually decaying and aging in this comfort...

Entropy increase is an eternal theme. Once a civilization stagnates, it will not have much possibility of progress... From this perspective, if the universe is a dark forest, then everyone may be more active and proactive in climbing technology.

Years passed, and Pangu did not encounter too many special events. Even during the voyage, no interstellar civilizations were encountered.

Speaking of which, this phenomenon is also very normal. There are only two or three thousand interstellar civilizations in the Milky Way, distributed in a territory of more than 100,000 light years. How can it be so easy to encounter them?

According to the current technological strength of the new humans, as long as they don't commit suicide, they won't be too dangerous if they rashly run to the vicinity of supernovas and black holes.

Walking and stopping along the way is really like a starry sky tour.

The universalization of life has added a little color to the entire starry sky journey... but it's just a little color.

Every time people pass by a planet with life, they will collect some biological specimens. The universe is so big and there are so many planets that there will always be some strange races.

For example, a worm called "king worm" found on a certain planet, its biological structure will undergo a series of changes with the change of the host. Its genetic material seems to be randomly pieced together by many creatures.

This species may be randomly transformed by a low-level civilization in some experiments, but it unexpectedly has very strong parasitic and attacking abilities.

This has led to a large number of species on this planet being parasitized by the king worm!

"Of course, this kind of creature has no great research value, it's just a coincidence."

Sometimes, when people discover some intelligent races, they will also collect some biological specimens.

For scientists, the value of intelligent life is higher than any parasite. At least they can study the way the brain gives birth to wisdom... With the current biotechnology, in fact, only a few activated cells are needed, and it is not difficult to clone one exactly.

But this kind of journey is boring in most cases. It often takes several years to reach the next planet. But it is found that the species there have little scientific research value. After a long time, they gradually become numb.

At the current stage of the new human beings, there are not many things worth being surprised about...

In the later stage of the voyage, people even found a Homo erectus called "Ge Yingsa" on the edge of the Orion Arm. This planet finally aroused widespread interest among scientists.

"Ge Yingsa" looks very similar to humans and has a very similar living environment!

During this period of voyage, many new members of the new human beings were born, so Yu Yifeng specially arranged for these new members to go to this planet for social experience, just like the period of Yufu 2...

Experiencing life on an indigenous planet, experiencing some dark sides, and feeling the complex jungle law are indeed good for people's growth.

On the other hand, staying near Ge Yingsa has another obscure but important purpose... to assist in brain research!

The brain structure of Ge Yingsa is very similar to that of humans!

In the new human civilization, cloning technology is prohibited by law, even for the former earthlings. But without real experiments, this technology is always in the theoretical stage.

The discovery of "Geinsa people" provides a good experimental subject for the study of auxiliary brain.

As a result, the problem comes again. When morality and science are opposed, there will always be a series of contradictions.

In particular, the moral system of the Noah society is highly developed. Those great scientists stand at their own height and naturally have their own moral concepts and solid worldviews. For the sake of scientific knowledge, another civilization is used as an experimental subject. That kind of bloody live experiment must be carried out while alive, which is really beyond the acceptance of normal people.

Even if these works are concealed from the vast majority of the people, a considerable number of biologists still express a certain degree of opposition.

Human sympathy is a very complex emotion, especially for this kind of experiment with a high probability of death, and the object is a creature that is very similar to humans...

The moment before, they were still on their own planet, playing with their wives and daughters, and the next moment they were hijacked by soldiers to the operating table, and died halfway through the experiment... This kind of tragic experience always makes people think of themselves, and brings a series of disgust. Even great scientists are no exception...

"A bunch of saints!" Dr. Rimbaud, who was more radical, heard about this and cursed in front of Yu Yifeng.

As a member of the think tank for so many years, he said whatever he wanted, basically without any reservations.

"But we must conduct this kind of experiment, especially in the past three hundred years, our theory has made a series of breakthroughs, and we need experiments to verify it! This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I know..." Yu Yifeng sighed, but the scientists were unwilling in their hearts. Could they still force administrative orders?

It would be better if Yu Yifeng thought of a more compromise plan: secretly take those "Ge Yingsa people" who were about to die due to accidents as test subjects.

Anyway, they are all going to die, so if we use them for experiments, maybe they can survive and turn a disaster into a blessing!

From killing to saving people, now all scientists can accept it again...

I sat there all day yesterday and didn't write a few words... Suddenly I feel that the outline needs to be changed.

It seems better to end with the stage where the new humans have crossed the weak barrier.

Of course, after crossing the weak barrier, what war is there to fight...so the outline needs to be changed.

Because of the serious writer's card, I will not update at night, please forgive me.
