Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 136: Mediocre civilization
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yuan wore dark circles under his eyes and started a normal day of work. In any case, the earth’s civilization is full of joy, and life still has to go on.
"Why, insomnia yesterday? I stayed up all night and finished watching."
"Yes, brother, you won." Zhang Yuan smiled.
"It has nothing to do with me... It is the new civilization history that won."
Perhaps because at this moment, it is too far away from the earth; or perhaps because the earth’s civilization has become very strange under the baptism of time, and everyone’s mood is not so depressed, it is equivalent to watching a show Very jerky movie.
It's just that the click-through rate of related papers on the history of the new civilization has increased by more than a thousand times in the past few hundred years, including Zhang Yuan's new paper, and there are many comments!
No matter what you can read or understand, people are trying to find a way to crack this new discipline.
It's a pity that the new civilization history is only a complex network model so far. Various calculations are so abstract that people usually can't understand it at all, just watching the excitement.
Only people like Zhang Yuan who are proficient in mathematics have a certain right to speak.
In particular, converting a historical node into a series of chaotic functions involves a lot of complicated calculations. Some things, after calculating a number, even Zhang Yuan himself can't figure out what the number means.
"Now that we have the historical reference data of earth civilization, we can continue to improve this subject. It's just that the sample data is not enough...It's only five or six hundred years." Zhang Yuan carefully read the current research schedule.
He said suddenly: "I think that the earth civilization has not reached the worst, and it is still possible to break free from the trough."
"Yes!" Senior Brother Zhao said: "It's just the Cold War. There is a small probability that it will jump out of the trough, but the higher probability will become worse. Regardless of calculation, from a political point of view, do you think there is any way to Let the entire civilization get rid of the current dilemma."
According to the old historical experience, such a cold war will continue, similar to the original US-Soviet competition for hegemony, until one side’s economy completely collapses and one side cannibalize the other.
Of course, it is also possible that before the collapse occurs, one party is desperate and the first interstellar war of human civilization erupts, causing huge damage.
"...it’s difficult to pick out this trough just by internal factors." Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, and said, "I really need the help of aliens now! The appearance of aliens is likely to be A key event to reverse the trend. But the probability of such an event is too low."
Senior Brother Zhao couldn't help laughing: "How do you know that the arrival of aliens is a positive event? If you encounter a strong enemy that is hard to resist, as long as there is a chance to survive, the high-level humans will have a high probability of directly surrendering. It is better to die. Live. How can ants challenge elephants?"
"Only evenly matched enemies can unite the earth's civilizations. This probability is really very small..."
"That's true."
Senior Brother Zhao made a not very funny joke: "Perhaps, when we become stronger, we can become this alien."
"This joke is not funny at all. Do we need to go back?"
After this discussion, Zhang Yuan frowned.
Even if there is a lot of history to learn from, can the new civilization do better than the earth civilization?
Not necessarily.
Reality is always more cruel than imagined.
Wait for their generation, the ambitious interstellar pioneers all die, what will happen to the next few generations?
No one can predict.
Human beings have their own inferior roots, and their descendants are not necessarily better than the earth civilization.
The wheel of history, the later, the more a single great man can change, how easy is it to change?
……
The life in the spacecraft is quite boring. It is nothing more than the three key words of learning, entertainment, and rest. Research on the history of new civilizations has been ongoing. How to translate samples into data is a key difficulty.
On this day, Zhang Yuan came to the Star Library alone, looking into the distance through a layer of glass.
He really likes to be in this small place, thinking about problems quietly.
Because of the cloud of war on the earth, the economic recession, and the reduction in expenditure, the information sent by the Deep Space Foundation has been reduced from once a month to once a year.
If the funds are insufficient, the reduction will continue in the future...
This is very bad news.
"Hey, if I save the stock, it will be fine for now."
Zhang Yuan was slightly upset, but soon gave up the idea. Maybe that stock was left worthless long ago, and the company has gone bankrupt.
He began to try to change some key historical nodes in the model to change the current final outcome.
Assuming that a certain key history did not happen, will the current ending change?
It's a pity that this cannot be assumed.
The key historical nodes are derived from the large amount of history ahead. To modify these key historical nodes, all the history ahead needs to be modified so that the entire network can be harmonious and matched.
While revising a lot of history ahead, it is necessary to revise the history further ahead, until it reaches the final origin.
The result is that every point in the entire network system needs to be modified to change the final outcome.
The complicated deduction of such a chaotic system is not something that Zhang Yuan can do at his current level.
"Take a move and move your whole body!"
The most important thing is that, according to the mathematical model of the New Civilization History, there is definitely more than one insurmountable trough that a civilization will eventually reach.
There are more and more troughs ahead, more difficult problems to overcome.
That is, under the dim starry sky, "Mediocrity" is the most eternal truth.
The stars in the sky are twinkling and twinkling~IndoMTL.com~ How many civilizations are hidden inside? How many civilizations are facing a mediocre ending similar to the earth?
Even though, the earth civilization has not reached the final destination, but it is already close to the end...
There are thousands of roads, only one is the real broad road, and the remaining 9,999, are all just dead ends.
It's a pity that this broad road is hidden in countless dead ends, and it may not be so easy to find.
It even disguised as a rugged trail,
As a civilization grows, it will inevitably be accompanied by countless amazing heroes, but these great men can still only delay the progress of civilization to mediocrity. Because they had already taken the wrong path from the beginning.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan strengthened his determination to "submit everything to calculation", and relying on human wisdom alone, there are too few things that can be seen. Even if the calculation is only a number, that kind of simplicity and objectivity is far beyond human wisdom.
