This situation did occur before, when human civilization was weak.
Let's set aside dangerous and less dangerous technologies for now.
Just consider the technology that humanity mastered at the level of a Type 5 civilization: interfering with stellar core reactions. Isn't that equivalent to having mastered the technology of a Type 6 civilization ahead of time?
This shows that the barriers between civilizations and technologies are not insurmountable.
Does the tech tree dictate the technologies a civilization should master?
Who decided on the technology tree?!
Suddenly, the question that had been troubling him since 2030 popped into Lü Yongchang's mind.
Perhaps because civilization was becoming increasingly powerful and they were no longer forced to flee, a thought first came to Lü Yongchang's mind.
An idea to challenge the "authority" of the technology tree!
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?
"Zero, from this moment on, stop all unnecessary research projects."
Lu Yongchang's eyes gleamed: "We will mobilize all the first-level academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to launch a decisive battle on optical computing technology!"
The moment the words fell.
In the eyes of all the researchers at the Optical Computer R&D Center, Lü Yongchang's image suddenly became much more impressive.
Mo Zeyang's eyes reddened slightly.
As the person in charge of the Human Union Computer Project, he was even more aware of the meaning behind Lü Yongchang's decision.
He single-handedly mobilized all the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to tackle a seemingly impossible scientific challenge...
More than 1,700 years have passed since the founding of the People's Federation.
Even if it takes another 1,700 years, or even 7,100 years!
Such a grand occasion could probably only occur within the Academy of Sciences led by Lü Yongchang!
"receive."
The moment the electronic synthesized voice sounded, the deep blue holographic image automatically unfolded.
Zero's virtual avatar appeared beside Lü Yongchang and respectfully bowed to him.
"The call for volunteers has been successfully issued."
...
Humanities Academy of Sciences.
After thousands of years of development, it has become an incredibly large organization.
Three hundred billion humans are scattered across the vast territory of the Pan-Human Federation.
Kepler-452b has long been the capital planet of the Pan-Human Federation.
The People's Union Academy of Sciences and the People's Union Parliament occupy the northern and southern hemispheres of this capital planet, respectively.
Level I Academician, Level II Academician, Level III Academician, Level I Researcher...
Almost all researchers live in the southern hemisphere region of the capital planet.
This place boasts the most powerful scientific research capabilities of the Pan-Human Federation!
On this day, every researcher was focused on their research work as usual.
suddenly.
A deep blue holographic projection appeared uncontrollably beside each researcher.
On the holographic projection, there was only one message emitting an orange-yellow glow.
The information has the highest priority.
This unprecedented situation immediately attracted the attention of all the researchers, who all stopped what they were doing and clicked on this top-priority message from the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
then.
All the researchers showed varying degrees of surprise on their faces.
One by one, the academicians wearing the insignia of Class I academicians calmly turned off the holographic projection in front of them, and then reached out to straighten their clothes.
After briefly assigning tasks to their subordinate researchers at all levels, they left their research area without hesitation.
Most of them are senior researchers with considerable experience.
But there are always unexpected events.
With the continuous advancement of the social welfare system, the quality of the new generation of human civilization is getting higher and higher.
Take, for example, Lin Yongnian of the Spacetime Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Despite his relatively short tenure, he still managed to join the ranks of Class I academicians thanks to his talent.
Inside the Spacetime Research Center, Lin Yongnian followed several senior Class I academicians out of the laboratory building.
Small anti-gravity vehicles were already waiting outside the door.
Once they were seated in the vehicle, the anti-gravity vehicle took off into the sky under Zero's control!
This day.
The sky over the southern hemisphere region of Kepler 452b was exceptionally lively.
Anti-gravity vehicles rose from all directions, streaking across the sky like rainbows.
These rainbows are all destined for the central research institute of the Academy of Sciences located in the Antarctic region of the capital star.
Everyone has arrived.
Not a single person was absent!
The battle to conquer the mainframe technology of a Level 7 civilization fortress has begun!
...
Many hands make light work.
Although these Class I academicians have different areas of expertise, their basic scientific literacy is undeniable, and their various suggestions have still greatly promoted the research progress of optical computers.
But there was little joy on Lü Yongchang's face.
The key technology has still not been found.
Therefore, the development of optical computers still falls within the scope of a Level 6 civilization.
...
The year is 3763 in the Earth calendar.
Lu Yongchang sat in his chair, staring blankly at the holographic projection in front of him.
The projection displays a series of optical computer architecture models that have undergone several generations of improvement.
good.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the top scientific research forces across the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences, optical computers have undergone several iterations.
Not only has the technology for materializing light been broken through several times, but the manufacturing process of optical components has also been improved.
In just two years, optical computing technology has evolved from a prototype into a mature technology.
Without considering cost, an optical computer with the same footprint as a quantum computer can achieve an 80% increase in computing power.
Although it has not yet reached the 100% improvement predicted by Lü Yongchang, it still indicates a message—human civilization is nearing the end of its optical computer technology at the sixth level.
The wall standing before the academicians, that thick wall symbolizing the barrier of civilizational hierarchy, remained unshaken.
Of course, people's joys and sorrows are not always the same, and this is especially true of the joys and sorrows of humans and artificial intelligence.
Zero has already moved into its new home and built a completely new environment and system for optical computers.
The 80% increase in computing power has also accelerated the construction speed of the Pan-Human Federation's internal projects.
As a result, smiles appeared on the faces of the staff in various engineering departments of the People's Federation.
The construction of basic infrastructure has led to increasingly frequent interstellar trade and exchanges within the Pan-Human Federation, which in turn has significantly boosted the technological level of subordinate civilizations.
And so, smiles appeared on the faces of all the subordinate civilizations.
Only the Academy of Sciences still looked bitter and resentful.
As the chief scientist, Lü Yongchang was even more frustrated as he flipped through the remote detection data of the Imperial Fortress's main brain, which had been reviewed countless times.
He had a feeling.
I am only one step away from the truth.
But this step is like an insurmountable chasm for human civilization today!
