Chapter 464: Level 3 and Level 4 Technology

Faced with Lu Yuan's question, everyone didn't know how to start.

Everyone knows that human civilization is not perfect.

Incidents of corruption and violent crimes also occur occasionally. After all, a small number of antisocial personalities are naturally born in the population, which is determined by genes.

In addition, while citizens' educational level is getting higher and higher, the overall quality of soldiers is not necessarily higher than that of the previous two generations... The soldiers' combat effectiveness has indeed improved, but their spiritual level has declined.

The reason is very simple. Peace has been going on for a long time and humans have not fought a war for a long time. No matter how they practice, they can never compare with the previous generations who have truly survived the hardships.

The new generation of children are a little more naive and kind, and they think in black and white, with clear edges and corners... This pure thinking is very beneficial to the development of science and technology; but it is often disadvantageous to survival and development.

Solving a problem is more difficult than discovering it, and you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

"Everyone, just talk about it casually, just like random political talk on the Internet." Lu Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingernails.

"I think we still need to vigorously develop artificial intelligence in the future. We don't need strong artificial intelligence, weak intelligence is enough." Hai Zhiyun said, "First, it can be used to monitor the circulation of financial data. Anyway, there is such a small population, if there is any corruption, it can be easily caught."

"There are also precedents in courts where AI is more fair and just, and human judges only need to review and supervise AI."

"Digitalization is the future development trend, but our current computing power is still not enough."

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. How could he explain this matter? What if this greedy demon god's huge fortune was exposed? ! That was 43,000 spiritual energy, it couldn't be seen in the light!

Well, that’s not a big problem.

The property of the greedy demon god is basically not circulated to the outside, and it is not withheld from humans, so no matter how powerful big data is, it is impossible to discover it.

As for the wealth that can be circulated, the Zerg Legion can be used to record the accounts. No matter how long the human hands are, they cannot control the Zerg Legion.

Hai Zhiyun didn't know that the man in front of him was a wealthy man, and he continued to talk: "Secondly, if computing power and industrial capacity can be infinitely improved, we can build a Dyson sphere and become an interstellar civilization. What are we afraid of? On the military level, we also have drones, mechanical dogs, unmanned submarines, etc."

“Digitalization is the future.”

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "That makes sense... But a more advanced civilization must also develop idealism, right? We have encountered many interstellar civilizations before. If idealism cannot keep up, artificial intelligence will still have many flaws."

This is indeed true. Countries like the Dalai Empire and the Gear Civilization should have been able to achieve interstellar travel long ago, but they are still stuck in the Pangu Continent.

The reason is that the spiritual resources of Pangu Continent are richer than those of other barren planets.

Walking on two legs is obviously more stable than walking on one leg.

When it comes to interstellar civilization, everyone opens up and another doctoral student asks: "Why haven't we developed our controlled nuclear fusion project yet?"

"Don't we already have the blueprints? Can't we copy them exactly?"

"...I heard from Professor Sha Mo that we are missing a kind of supermagnetic material. Simply put, this material can generate a strong magnetic field. The strong magnetic field can be used to confine plasma."

Hai Zhiyun explained: "Superconducting materials in pure physics have various limitations. For example, they require an ultra-low temperature environment, and when the current reaches a critical point, the material loses its superconducting effect. Therefore, the magnetic field generated is often not large enough, and the realization of controlled nuclear fusion is extremely difficult."

"So the Yuanhuo civilization used a kind of idealistic material called 'ether fiber guide' to achieve a stronger magnetic field and further realize controlled nuclear fusion."

"Is this thing... a kind of mineral on the ground?" It was the first time Lu Yuan heard of this term.

"No, it's probably a composite material, made in a factory."

"The manufacturing method of the 'Ether Guide' has been lost, which is a pity. I have only analyzed some of its rough composition through the remains of the nuclear fusion device, but the arrangement and combination of these elements requires extremely high computing power to calculate its specific structure... The current computing power is still not high enough."

Hai Zhiyun is worthy of being called "mind uploader" and "super thinker". He understands something about all major categories in the field of pure physics.

In fact, human beings are in great need of such talents. After all, there are talented idealists every year, but only a few talented physics people have been born over so many years.

The barrier between pure physics and idealism is actually not as high as imagined.

Lu Yuan and others rely on inspiration to study idealism.

Hai Zhiyun didn't care about any inspiration. He directly obtained the results of many things through calculations, especially in materials science, protein, weather forecasting, and urban planning. Anyway, he just used his huge computing power to blast through them.

Therefore, there is indeed a basis for vigorously developing artificial intelligence.

"What else? Everyone, express your opinions, relax, and chat casually."

A female doctor named Hai Lanlan said, "In fact, I think we should still consolidate the technology that a Level 3 civilization should have. Now we have at most reached the passing line, and we still need to continue to deepen the foundation."

She was a little nervous at first, but as she talked about her professional field, she relaxed.

This short-haired girl has been studying Lingyan technology with Ms. Conch for many years, and she has contributed to the "Lingyan Superposition Technology".

The typical symbol of the third-level civilization is the use of [Civilization Points].

Money is meant to be spent, not simply hoarded.

Humanity's 18th civilization currently possesses two third-level technologies. The first is the "Spiritual Word Superposition Technology", which is able to superimpose spiritual words such as lightning, explosions, and light curtains multiple times to achieve a higher level of power.

This technology achieves the integration of offense and defense, and is considered to be the strongest foundation of mankind.

Of course, this whole process requires a small amount of "luck" and considerable spiritual energy, otherwise it would be difficult to activate this thing at once.

Another technology is naturally the "Harvest Blessing", which can speed up the growth of plants and can be regarded as a technology for inheriting green civilization.

As for other fancy innovations, there are shell headphones, glyph flashlights, super fabrics, mind-soothing waves, and so on.

Well, it does enrich life and expand productivity, but it is at most a technology of the second-level civilization...

Other secondary civilizations can also be developed, it just takes some time and resources

Therefore, humans currently only have two technologies of the third-level civilization, and they are indeed slightly lacking in terms of foundation.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"So what's next to develop? Level three technology..." Everyone was thinking hard.

"Copy the technology of the Source Fire Civilization? Control volcanic eruptions?" said a boy.

“That doesn’t seem to work…” Another doctor shook his head, “They had decided from the beginning that they would go to the volcano to avoid the epoch disaster, so they transformed their city and developed the corresponding technology.

"They paid a lot of money for this technology, conservatively estimated to be more than 20,000 yuan."

The number of 20,000 is still too large for today's human beings.

"The cost you are talking about is the one that seals the volcano?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" The male doctor nodded. "That thing is standard third-level civilization technology, but it's quite expensive. Without that formation, we can't seal the volcano. There's no need for us to spend a lot of money to replicate a sealing formation for the time being, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded. "I think the volcanic eruption technology is pretty useless... In the end, you can only pick up some fire-attribute ores. It's not as good as the harvest blessing... It's not very realistic to use it to attack the enemy."

The boy quickly said: "No, no, no, this technology should have further development. This is actually the technology to control the 'Earth Power' of Pangu Continent."

"You should be able to understand that Pangu Continent itself is a super-large-scale idealistic unit. The technology to control the power of the earth veins has a chance to become a fourth-level technology if we further explore it!"

Everyone was a little shocked. The Source Fire Civilization where the Great Mirage Dragon was located was actually not that bad...

I really didn't expect that! "What about the Green Civilization? They are a Level 4 civilization, right? What is Level 4 technology?"

Hai Lanlan said: "Green Paradise is a standard third-level technology. In addition, there is also a technology based on the 'real dream' of the poppy tree, but it has been completely lost and cannot be restored."

"Oh, the Green Civilization also has a 'Lightning Storm' control technology, which is also considered a third-level technology and has the potential for subsequent promotion. But this information has also been lost."

Hai Ziyun asked in confusion: "In other words, the definition of Level 4 Idealistic Technology is to have a wider impact on nature?"

"Maybe... but there is no precise definition yet, we can only feel it intuitively."

The fifty or so people were discussing intensely, with each speaking one after another.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he couldn't get a word in, and he looked like an illiterate - damn, this demon god can't even speak, are you guys going to rebel! Let's get back to the point, what is the third-level technology that can be developed next?

After some discussions, everyone agreed that the first focus of research should be the "Space-Time Tidal Harmony and Conversion Combination", which is a very complex glyph group, but also a required course for third-level civilizations.

Simply put, its function is to increase the accumulation efficiency of "luck"!

"Luck" is something invisible and intangible. It is gradually generated in people's production activities. It is a kind of energy derived from history. Current academics have a more appropriate adjective, called "time and space tidal energy", which is a positive feedback given by the entire idealistic time and space.

The more positive the civilization, the more feedback.

The "Harmony and Conversion Glyph Combination" can increase the weight of one's own civilization in the Ninth Era time and space, thereby increasing the efficiency of accumulating "luck".

But this thing... is so troublesome, requires a huge amount of work, consumes a lot of resources, but has no other functions. It's simply a huge workload.
