I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 392: Quantum thinking and intuition
After teasing Fatty, Chen Feng was in a good mood.
Even with Ryan next to him, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
This guy Ou Junlang is not really that bad, he is quite talented in singing.
As for the other aspects, it's really hard to tell.
Chen Feng felt strange.
Because Fatty is only superficially stupid, but his brain is still very good. When he was rectifying Zhou A, Fatty's tricks even shocked Chen Feng, but he didn't know why, he just did things not.
Maybe this is life. The starting line of life is the end of others. It exhausts his life.
This could be life.
Ignoring Fatty, Chen Feng chatted with Ryan again.
The two first chatted about the recent situation of the Xingfeng Research Institute.
"Aren't those people looking for trouble?"
"No. It's all over this morning." Ryan nodded, "In fact, Mr. Ou is in charge of these things, and I don't really participate. You know, I'm not very good at dealing with these."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "With your mind, if you want to learn, there should be nothing in this world that you can't learn. The essence of the so-called politics is actually psychology and statistics."
"If you don't like it, then you won't be able to learn anything advanced, so it's meaningless. No matter how serious I think about it, I'm not as good as some born politicians. The so-called political sense is partly based on experience, and the other part is based on intuition. Some people Naturally good at."
Chen Feng nodded, "So this is the incredible thing about human beings. Intuition is very important and allows us to do things beyond our ability."
Ryan: "Like defeating an otherwise impossible alien invader?"
"Yes."
Ryan sat next to him, "What do you think is intuition?"
Chen Feng: "Let's first speculate on what the human mind is. The ancients thought it was the soul, the immortals talked about consciousness, and the top programmers thought that the mind was a very complicated program. Of course, in the 21st century At this stage, some people think that the human mind is actually the quantum collapse in the phosphorus atom.”
Ryan: "I agree with the last statement, but this is more metaphysical and cannot be conclusively proven. At the same time, it also denies another technology that many people are looking forward to, that is, thinking transfer and mechanical immortality. Feasibility."
"I also agree with this statement. Because after a thousand years, I see a clearer statement, much more complicated than the simple quantum collapse of the phosphorus atom. Countless ultra-low-level quantum collapses have aggregated together. , forming a quantum thinking storm. The essence of our thinking is a quantum storm with both regularity and irregularity. Our memory is the more regular part of the quantum storm, and our temporarily divergent thoughts are the irregular ones. part."
"Neither part can exist independently, and must rely on each other to be considered a complete person. When we learn new knowledge, the quantum storm in the brain is irregular at first. But through training and strengthening memory, The originally irregular quantum storm begins to show a certain pattern, then a memory is formed. Of course, the memory will also be forgotten. The reason for forgetting is that the quantum itself tends to be irregular, and the forcibly kneaded laws can be maintained for a certain period of time. But the trend from order to disorder is unstoppable.”
Ryan, "But we can also re-establish discipline through relearning and repetition in our work life."
Chen Feng nodded, "Yeah. We can think of our fragmented memories as one after another small vortex that make up the quantum storm. Due to their different learning and scope, these small vortexes will belong to the same type, mutual There will be some seemingly non-existent connections between them. Usually we are hard to realize this connection, but at certain moments, when our emotions have a special desire for something, the emotion that desires to solve the problem It becomes the driving force and allows the larger pattern to emerge naturally, which becomes our intuition.”
Lane: "So you think intuition should be based on a relatively complete body of knowledge?"
"Sure. I'll give you an example, a top programmer is usually a very smart guy, but if you ask him to work as a carpenter. He's faced with a problem and he can't think of a solution. But if it's a carpenter , the problem can be solved with just a flash of inspiration. And vice versa, let a top carpenter do programming, even if he has learned a little basic knowledge, but facing things outside his knowledge framework, he can't come up with a solution, programmers Even if you haven't learned it, you can rely on the accumulation of knowledge in related fields to complete a self-divergence."
Ryan: "So the mystery of human beings lies in intuition? We can always do things beyond our original capabilities, which makes our upper limit infinitely high. So compound eye civilization must destroy us?"
"Yes, think about it from another perspective, our potential is so strong that I am afraid of it. But this is only one of the reasons. In fact, the compound eye civilization is not only going to destroy the earth people, they are executing against other civilizations in the entire galaxy. is the same strategy."
Ryan: "Is that so? Stocking?"
"Captive."
"What is the general level of captivity?"
Chen Feng thought for a while, "There is no way to be 100% sure about this. You all know about the solar system barrier, right? I speculate that if it was a civilization that was blocked in advance by the barrier, then they might at least let it go to level two or above. , but we have never seen this before. The person who has traveled the farthest has only left the solar system less than 200 light-years away, and he has not even read the Orion Arm. As far as the sites we have discovered, they are basically at the first level. near civilization.”
Ryan: "I can't believe you're using the outdated way of saying Kardashev grading."
Chen Feng smiled, "Easy to understand, you can understand the first-level civilization I said as the degree of mastering the ability to colonize interstellar systems. The second-level civilization understands it as mastering the technology of mass-energy conversion and initially coming into contact with curvature. The degree of control of space and subtle quarks is sufficient."
"Well, that is to say, civilizations that can be locked up in advance by compound eyes, they will let them go for a long time. But they only have one hood, so most of them are wiped out before interstellar travel."
"Yes."
Fatty Ou, who was listening in the fog, was finally able to put in a sentence, "Then I don't think they are very ferocious. They can make people develop for so long."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes, "You know shit. When the people on Earth were first targeted, they developed at a normal speed, and it would be at least a thousand years before the voyage across the star system."
Fat Man: "Then it's normal for them to lock us up in advance."
Chen Feng doesn't deny this, "Shut up for me, normal shit! They didn't plan to leave us any relics!"
About this matter, the Planning Institute who read his memory in this timeline once calculated.
According to the technological level and development speed of the first timeline, it will take at least one thousand to two thousand years for human beings to achieve stable colonization across the star system.
With the habit of compound eyes, humans should be given at least another thousand years, wait until about 3,500 years before the barriers are put in, and 4,000 years before harvesting.
Don't look at the short thousand-year gap.
But Chen Feng came to another conclusion from the feedback from the Proxima Fleet, that the compound-eyed person has only one solar system barrier.
Then to act a thousand years earlier here is equivalent to occupying the quota of another captive civilization that is locked up by barriers and provides them with technological inspiration.
So the fat man doesn't know anything about making a fool of himself.
"But I still can't figure it out. If compound eyes are really as ruthless as you say, Master, you should see one and destroy the other. In ancient times, it was time to trouble us."
Chen Feng continued to roll his eyes wildly, "Then let me ask you, do the gorillas in our zoo now hit walnuts with stones?"
Fat Man: "Yes."
"Look, gorillas have initially mastered the tools. Suppose that from now on, human beings evaporate out of thin air. Do you think it is possible for gorillas to evolve their own writing in a million years, millions of years become the next civilization on earth?"
This question is a little complicated for Ou Junlang, he thought about it for about ten seconds, "It's very possible."
"That's right. We know the gorilla has a chance to replace us, so why should we let it exist?"
Fat Man: "Too weak to pose a real threat to us? Everything is under our control?"
"But if one day the gorilla learns to save fire, and uses wooden skewers to skewer the meat for cooked food, and then invents his own writing, using pictographs to record which meat is delicious and how well it is cooked. And then they nicked the stones to record the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they learned to clear the land with sticks and stones and plant the seeds they saved last year. What would we think?"
O Fatty said decisively: "I will panic to death and quickly enter a difficult decision."
Chen Feng spread his hands, "That's right."
"Then why can't the two civilizations coexist? We are stronger, so we should take care of the weak. If there is a chance in the future, we can go out, and land, energy, etc. will not be a problem. By that time We wouldn't mind gorillas inventing writing."
Ryan couldn't take it anymore and patted him on the head, "Because humans and gorillas are both aesthetically and reproductively unavoidable apartheid. If we really go out first and the colony is sprinkled with Orion arms, then It's okay to let gorillas develop, but haven't we gone out yet?"
The fat man finally understands that everything has to be done in stages.
Ryan and Chen Feng ignored the two, and only briefly talked about the future.
Ryan tried his best to avoid the principle of detection, but still couldn't help but be curious about the technology that he could not see in every aspect of human life in the future.
Especially when he heard that Mercury had become an incomparably huge star-front fortress, Ryan sighed in admiration: "If Mercury was also conscious, he would definitely feel wronged. Our descendants are too greedy."
Chen Feng snorted, "Don't talk about others. Think for yourself who is to blame for this?"
Ryan pondered the microwave power transmission and ultra-high-efficiency solar panels he was preparing to develop, his expression slightly embarrassed, "That's right, blame me."
The fat man really didn't understand, and left in a daze.
Ryan continued to say with great interest: "Listen to what you mean, the Dyson Cloud was built many years after my death, right?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I'm really not reconciled. Is there a way to make our pace go faster, so that I can see that day in my lifetime? I also want to die in space like you~IndoMTL.com~ Chen Feng decides After a while, he said: "It is indeed my goal to continue to accelerate the progress of civilization. As for whether this can be achieved, it is difficult to say. "
Ryan suddenly became very serious, "Then a big problem must be solved seriously."
Chen Feng knew what he was talking about.
The conflict between the two major ideologies in today's world must be resolved, and injustice and exploitation must be eliminated at a faster rate, and the speed at which humanity is twisted into a single rope must be accelerated.
This is of course also mentioned in the "Plan".
Planning's approach to achieving the unification of the community of destiny is to use his personal prestige to overwhelm everything and ultimately resolve strong differences.
Chen Feng doesn't quite agree with this central idea.
He believes that if he really wants to do this, what awaits him in the 31st century is no longer a cocoon of thinking, but a prison.
