Chapter 257: The phenomenon of technological self-destruction (4000 words)
A careful analysis can lead to some obvious reaction forces. For example, a large number of drug manufacturers make drugs themselves, which is a matter of saving lives and helping the wounded. They can work happily for it, but now it has become a dirty bad thing; for example, soldiers, defending their country is a noble thing, but invading others for some productivity becomes a dirty thing.
Even if these staff members will still implement the orders of government departments, over time, they will have doubts from the bottom of their hearts, which will lead to various social problems.
Even I couldn't help but start taking drugs, and these were not impossible.
"The current population is too small, the society is clear and well-functioned. If such problems really occur, it will be more than worth the loss."
After discussing this, Professor Yamamoto could only helplessly spread his hands and smiled bitterly. He just proposed a feasible conquest plan, and whether others would accept it or not is a matter of two different things. To be honest, he is not willing to accept this kind of research task!
Zhang Yuan patted his hands and pulled everyone's thoughts back: "So, the solution to using drugs just now will be put on hold for the time being..."
"But everyone should remember that these messy drugs are deadly to some civilizations. Some cosmic civilizations will use them as a weapon."
"In a certain way, they are more powerful than nuclear weapons. Once they stick to them, they will penetrate deep into the bone marrow and spread like a virus. What it destroys is not the body, but... the spirit!"
"According to the inferences of the historiography of new civilizations, there are some troughs of mediocrity, which is caused by this type of technology. I call this phenomenon: the phenomenon of technology self-destruction."
When talking about the topic of self-destruction of technology, everyone became more interested, not as heavy as they were just now.
There are many potential factors for technological self-destruction. For example, if atomic energy is used peacefully, it will bring endless energy. Unpeaceful use can easily destroy the whole world.
Fortunately, the use of atomic energy is within the scope of human intelligence, so it does not destroy the world.
"But I believe that the universe is so big, there must be a stupid civilization that destroys itself because of the emergence of a nuclear bomb..."
According to Murphy's law, if things are likely to go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always be born. The starry sky is so vast that hundreds of billions of galaxies are enough to accommodate various small-probability events.
In other words, there is a high probability that there will be a civilization that is so angry that it completely destroys itself due to the emergence of nuclear bombs.
Technology has always been a double-edged sword, and it is impossible to bring only benefits but no harm.
Zhang Yuan drew three horizontal lines on the screen and wrote some text under these horizontal lines: "So, according to the technology that humans have, the technology in the world can be divided into three types: the first type is white, and the benefits of the overall civilization are more than the disadvantages."
For example, the Internet has given birth to a large number of Internet-addicted teenagers, and these guys are addicted to various games and information on the Internet, but overall, the Internet has greatly accelerated the connection between people and accelerated work efficiency. For civilization, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages;
For example, automobiles will inevitably bring environmental pollution during the production process, but it will facilitate people's transportation and increase society's transportation capacity.
These should be white technologies that are not controversial.
The second technology is red, which can bring certain benefits, but it is not as friendly as white technology. If not restricted, it will bring huge and uncontrollable disasters!
Of course there is a third...black technology!
Black means that a civilization has no way to control technology. Once it appears, there is a great probability that civilization will be destroyed, or the entire civilization will fall, and there will be no possibility of progress.
"Due to the limitations of the times, just to draw lottery draws and draw prizes. Before we draw it, we will never know whether it is white, red or black, so it is difficult to avoid this tendency to self-destruct."
Most of the technologies that appear at present are white. They help humans develop productivity and allow humans to have a better life, from the Stone Age to the Great Star Age.
The first red technology that humans have touched is the mass manufacturing of various chemical objects, including various large-scale chemical weapons, as well as addictive drugs, especially the latter.
Like the Glitzer civilization, if the whole nation takes drugs, the entire civilization will of course be helpless, self-destruction and no longer have the possibility of rising.
The second red technology is atomic energy, which allows humans to master the power to create nuclear bombs and can easily destroy humans themselves.
And because of the nuclear deterrence between countries, like walking on a tightrope, the entire civilization was magically peaceful and achieved a longer-lasting peace.
The third red technology is life sciences and genetic science.
Genes are forbidden zones of life, and humans are not as good as knowing more about the universe. Random modification of genes can easily lead to the collapse of the entire system.
If specific grade bacteria really appear, it is not impossible to exterminate all humans...
With the development of technology, all white technology has been drawn out by lottery, and the probability of red technology will become greater and greater, and the probability of civilization self-destruction will be higher.
As for black technology, no one knows what it is.
Because once it appears, the entire civilization will soon fall. In some science fiction films, it is nanorobots, strong artificial intelligence, and microorganisms. People also try to restrain the exhibition of these technologies as tremblingly as possible. If these are truly displayed, no one can predict what consequences it will cause. Perhaps humans will live better, or perhaps directly destroy technology.
"From the ending, for the Glitzer civilization, these 13 universal factories are already uncontrollable black technology for them."
"The Glitzer civilization of the Stone Age itself did not have enough ability to master the huge productivity of this 'universal factory'. The ****** development led to the rapid degeneration of the entire civilization... including the subsequent series of oligarchs, Happy Su, etc., which were all led by the universal factory, and the entire civilization did not have a strong framework to control the overall situation."
"So, there is no possibility of rising again."
Listening to Zhang Yuan's analysis, Li Zhendong, who was standing beside him, suddenly interrupted: "Actually, I think red technology and black technology can be converted into each other..."
"Just like us humans, if we own a universal factory given by the interstellar civilization, it is impossible for us to be carried by it, and it is impossible for the whole people to take drugs..."
"Because this catastrophic historical event has occurred in our history, and everyone knows the consequences."
"But the Glitzer civilization did not know that their world had no natural addictive substances and had never had similar events. Its scientific research ability was poor and he did not seek to understand it very much, so he had no ability to resist such events..."
"The good and bad of technology are related to the internal strength of civilization itself. The dangerous boundary between red and black may be related to the vision, ideology and level of civilization of a civilization. If you already know this, you can actually avoid this tragedy."
I was silent in the conference room for a long time, and Li Zhendong was right.
However, is there something common and common to other civilizations in the universe, but it is a fatal existence for humans? For example, a certain wave or a certain magnetic field?
Li Zhendong continued: "So, if there is an Interstellar Court, the second Interstellar civilization is actually guilty. Even though he knew that the other party could not bear such a great amount of productivity, he still gave them these things for free, which was equivalent to letting the Greglitzer people commit suicide! I strongly doubt his intentions!"
Zhang Yuan said: "Your logic is a little bit robber. I kindly give you a knife to use it to spread your own life. If you accidentally stab yourself to death, can you blame me for not reminding you in advance? You can only blame yourself for being stupid!"
"Maybe in the eyes of that interstellar civilization, a universal factory is at most an ordinary product, not a black technology at all."
"No, not." Li Zhendong waved his hand: "What if I was only two or three years old? If I stab myself, I would still have to blame the person who gave me this knife, right?"
Suddenly, one of the deputy captains shouted in a deep voice: "Actually, your logic is not right. Are we too condescending and too conceited from our current perspective? Maybe most individuals in the Glitzer civilization think that their living conditions are very good?"
"They think that the whole meaning of life is to enjoy and be able to spend it in joy, what's wrong with it! Even every individual thinks so, and pleasure itself is their pursuit."
"What we think is bad, depravity, depravity is just what we think. We think that as long as a civilization does not move forward, it is enough to deserve sympathy. So we pity them and pity them."
"But do those pangolins need it? No. The sober people in Goer City are just a small part of civilization... Our subconscious sense of superiority, even wanting to correct each other, is the most worthy of guard against!"
Yes, everyone was stunned.
What capital does human beings have to be arrogant?
Human beings are so weak that in their current state, if they really fight, they may not be able to defeat the Glitzer civilization.
These pangolins are intelligent lives, with their own culture and ideas. They are different from the cats and dogs on the earth, and are not the kind that humans fiddled with.
The atmosphere was a little serious for a while, and Li Zhendong smiled dryly: "Everyone, we are still very humble in diplomacy and basically did not make such low-level mistakes. Isn't this an internal discussion now? It doesn't matter if we talk about the other party's ideology is not good."
He suddenly thought of something and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "So, do you think, is there such a civilization in the universe that loves pyramid schemes and their own values? He likes to brainwash others and wash them into their own values."
Another person quickly replied: "There must be... This kind of civilization that can assimilate other people's ideology must be extremely powerful, and it may become bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it will be flooded like a cult! There is no law enforcement organization in the universe, and it is not allowed to preach randomly, etc.."
"I hope we don't encounter this kind of civilization...ah."
Ideological struggle can be said to be the most sensitive thing, it is like this when placed on the earth, and in the starry sky, and in theory it is also like this!
Everyone on the earth has their own way of life, and every nation has their own beliefs.
A large part of the quarrel between husband and wife is due to disagreement in terms of values. There is not only economic struggle, but also ideological struggle.
If you want to forcibly impose your own values on others, it will undoubtedly lead to a lot of conflicts and resistance.
There are a lot of contradictions, religious contradictions, territorial disputes, and so on in such a small corner on the earth.
"...This civilization that can forcibly promote its own values must have a very powerful ability to assimilate. But if it cannot be far ahead of other civilizations, it will inevitably be eliminated in the dim starry sky."
Everyone discussed ideological things, including some religious wars, etiquette and customs that had been born on the earth. In fact, human beings themselves have a strong tendency to try to assimilate others.
However, if an alien civilization in this area is really encountered, it can only be said that humans are in trouble.
Either being assimilated or resisted. Even culture has been assimilated. Can human civilization still be called human civilization? So we can only fight to the death and fight to the death.
"If you can't meet it, you can only say it's a worry."
So everyone just used it as a kind of interesting talk. Everyone used their brains and imagined all kinds of hypocritical, hospitality, cunning, honest, sentimental, or alien ideologies similar to human civilization, and this matter was over.
It’s just that in future communication, we need to be more cautious and energetic.
Next, the last thing is more serious.
Zhang Yuan and Li Zhendong looked at each other. This was also what they had been talking about privately for a long time between diplomatic visits.
Finally, Zhang Yuan asked everyone.
"Everyone, let's continue the topic just now, that is, what the two interstellar civilizations do, are they good intentions or malicious?"
"Any behavior and action have its own internal motivation, including humans, and should also include interstellar civilization. We can boldly assume that these two interstellar civilizations are rational and can be analyzed using the existing logic of our humans."
