Hengyuan’s technological barrier in front of humans is definitely not as easy to make breakthroughs as gravity field theory and quantum theory.

It is not only scientists who yearn for exceeding the speed of light, but the entire human civilization, because the "speed of light barrier" has become a roadblock that limits human progress.

At that time, scientists had discovered that the root cause of the "speed of light barrier" was the speed of space expansion.

To be precise, the maximum speed of space expansion is 300,000 kilometers per second. It is just that the photon has two phases of bo-particle xing, so it can reach the maximum speed of space expansion. Moreover, the photon has mass when it moves, so it can only reach and cannot break through the maximum speed of space expansion. As for the speed of light, it will decrease in the medium because the matter that constitutes the medium is essentially an energy-rich point in space, so the maximum expansion speed of space is also reduced. Quantum theory, that is, two quantums with the same position are not limited by speed when transmitting information, because the information is not energy and mass. That is to say, in space, no energy or matter cannot surpass the maximum expansion speed of space.

This theoretical discovery limits the speed of human progress on the basis.

You should know that no matter how developed human technology is, it cannot get rid of energy and mass, and humans themselves are composed of energy and mass.

Obviously, there are only two ways to surpass the speed of light: one is to jump out of space and the other is to convert it into information.

In fact, this is also the direction of scientists' efforts.

Relatively speaking, the latter is easier to achieve than the former.

Soon after, scientists cracked the secrets of the brain and mastered the technology of directly inputting information into the brain, thus laying the most solid foundation for human informatization.

You know, cloning the human body has long been no longer a problem.

The key is that the cloned human body has no thoughts at all. It has nothing to do with the original owner except that it is genetically the same as the original owner, and has nothing to do with the original owner in terms of the most critical thoughts.

Obviously, this is a big problem.

The reason why people are human is that everyone has a great idea.

In other words, the sign of a person is the brain, not the body.

With human technology, the brain and nervous system can survive alone in the 23rd century. In other words, it can technically free people from the constraints of the body.

In this way, the key to cloning a person is to copy the idea.

Fortunately, humans have made major breakthroughs in quantum theory, and have discovered that the brain is also based on quantum theory when exchanging and storing information.

When ideas can be copied, informatization of people is no longer a problem.

Strictly speaking, it is semi-information rather than full informationization.

The specific operation method is to convert a person into information at a certain location, and then use quantum communication technology to copy the person from another location.

In this way, distance is no longer a limit when traveling in space.

Theoretically, this technology can instantly "teleport" a person to any corner of the universe, so that humans' own activities in the universe are no longer restricted by distance.

However, this technology also has many problems.

First of all, it is not the person who transmits information that forms the person, and then "assemble" the person at the destination with the elements necessary to form the person. In other words, there is a process of destroying the original owner in the middle, which has legal and ethical problems.

To put it simply, if the original owner did not destroy it, there would be two exactly the same people.

There is no doubt that this is a very serious problem in human civilization. If this problem cannot be handled well, it will even lead to the collapse of human civilization.

Of course, this is just a matter of law and ethics.

Relatively speaking, legal problems are easier to solve. After all, human civilization has entered the cosmic era, and legal consciousness is the basic understanding of every member of human civilization. Law itself is the value that constitutes human civilization, at least part of human basic values.

Ethical issues seem more complicated.

The main thing is that two or even multiple exactly the same people will challenge human ethical civilization and thus change human thoughts.

At that time, the most effective solution was to ensure that only one person could exist at the same time through technical means.

Obviously, this raises the legislative issue.

Before the promotion of the "transmission" technology, the human government in the universe formulated extremely detailed laws, stipulating that only one person could exist during transmission, and the other person must be destroyed immediately. At that time, the human government in the universe even stipulated that it must be destroyed humanely.

In short, legal and ethical issues were finally properly resolved.

What is really difficult to solve is the technical difficulties.

The reason is very simple. "Transmission" is only semi-information, that is, it only informs humans during the transmission process, while humans at both ends are composed of energy and matter. The problem arises is that at the transmission destination, the equipment required for "Transmission".

This means that someone must arrive at the destination in advance and install the "transmission" equipment.

Obviously, this still cannot make humans break through the speed of light in the process of exploring and expanding the universe, that is, humans or unmanned platforms that have previously gone to their destinations are still limited by the speed of light.

In fact, this only solves the speed problem in human activity space.

Obviously, this cannot fundamentally solve the problem, because the limitation of speed on humans is mainly reflected in the exploration and development of unknown fields. Within the known space of human activity, the impact of speed is far from reaching the point where human civilization is limited.

For example, after colonizing the Scorpio, the exchanges between the two galaxies did not occur frequently.

With the help of quantum communication technology, even the residents of "Scorpio," can communicate and communicate with humans in the solar system through technical means such as virtual images, and even through other technical means to achieve the level of simulated communication, so that they do not need to return to the solar system. By the same token, humans in the solar system can also communicate with humans in any colony without going to the colony.

In fact, human civilization itself has also undergone great changes due to the expansion of living space.

The biggest change is that each colony has a complete civilization foundation, and the necessity of communicating with the outside world is not high, so the need for humans' own range of activities has been greatly reduced. During the cosmic exploration stage, some human groups even showed symptoms of collective autism. For example, on some large expedition spacecraft, thousands or even tens of thousands of people formed a completely closed small group and rarely communicated with the outside world. This small group eventually evolved into a small society with a very complete social foundation.

In short, if we only "transmit" within human civilization, the scientific and economic value is not very great.

When Penang, in politics, this is of great significance. However, this is another topic.

For a long time, human scientists have placed their hopes on the first method, that is, to free humans from the limitations of space.

To be precise, it is to get rid of the limitations of three-dimensional space.

The reason is very simple. Human beings themselves are three-dimensional structures, and the universe is also three-dimensional. Although theoretically, there must be two-dimensional, one-dimensional and zero-dimensional spaces in the universe (strictly speaking, zero-dimensional cannot be considered space), human beings have not discovered four-dimensional space for hundreds of years.

In this way, scientists believe that there is no speed limit in four-dimensional space.

Of course, some scientists believe that four-dimensional space also has a maximum space expansion speed, so there are restrictions, but it far exceeds the speed of light.

More importantly, quantum theory has proved that there is indeed a higher-dimensional space.

Unfortunately, it is limited to the microscopic world.

Now, scientists are divided into two parts. Part of them strives to make human civilization evolve to exist in the microscopic world. The other part strives to make the macroscopic world, that is, strives to create a high-dimensional space mentioned in the quantum theory in the macroscopic world.

The problem is that both directions are full of challenges and even insurmountable obstacles.

For example, in the microscopic world, although the technology mastered by humans has been able to expand microscopic particles to a low dimension in the macroscopic world, and by adjusting the basic particle structure in the microscopic particles to make them intelligent, and then use them to store information, in theory, a person's information can be completely stored in an intelligent microscopic particle, but after restoration, the microscopic particles are still limited by the speed of light, that is, the flight speed in the universe cannot exceed the speed of light, so even if they can reach distant galaxies, it will take a lot of time.

Fundamentally, this is no different from the "transmission" technology.

For example, to create multidimensional space in the macroscopic world, the first thing is to do is to create new basic physics theories, and basic theories are the most difficult scientific barriers to break through. In fact, scientists could not even imagine what the four-dimensional space would look like at that time. They could only guess that the four-dimensional space is a collection of countless three-dimensional spaces. Therefore, in the four-dimensional space, it is easy to go from one point in the three-dimensional space to another point without being restricted by speed and time. But the most important thing is that scientists do not know how to build the four-dimensional space.

Obviously, these scientific barriers have caused mankind to lose the motivation to continue moving forward.

Fortunately, in despair, there will always be hope, even extremely slim hope.

At that time, the biggest hope was a technology that had long been confirmed by human scientists but could not be realized, namely the "space jump" technology.

The core of this technology is not to jump, but to try to fold the three-dimensional space so that two very far apart points overlap, so that they can cross distances and reach another point without being restricted by time.

In a sense, this is a very exciting technology.

You should know that the biggest advantage of this technology is that it does not require theoretical breakthroughs, and the basic theories of physics that humans have mastered are enough.

But at the same time, this is another very frustrating technology.
