The three men were facing Guan Yunchang on the altar of the offering table. They had a dignified image, red face, long beard and extraordinary power. Now, Zhenghu stared at the three men: "please ask questions!"

"I have something to ask you..." He Gang said.

Guan Yunchang's statue sent out a buzz of soft vibration, and then slowly sorted into an orderly Audio: "what do you want to ask?"

"Yesterday, a very strange thing happened here. A man mysteriously evaporated in a closed space. In addition, similar events occurred in several other countries on the earth at the same time. I want to ask you... Do you happen to know who did it?"

Master Guan Yunchang was quiet for a while, and the sound of the switch and computer program running came from behind.

"I don't know, and I have told you again and again that although I talk to you, I'm not with you. I'm just an artificial intelligence agent simulating the wisdom of our planet. In other words, it's only equivalent to a slightly better computer on your planet. I can only carry out relevant calculations and answers according to our scientific knowledge, but I can't think and predict The answer to the question. "

"But aren't you talking to us?" deputy political commissar Lin Tao couldn't hold back the question he had always wanted to ask, and finally asked.

"Yes, I'm talking to you, but it's just information feedback based on the knowledge reserve in my database. It's like if you input one plus one equals several to a calculator, it will also voice tell you it's two

I'm just countless levels higher than it. Even the extremely complex mathematical operations, I can easily tell you the answer... But you ask me, what did you eat this morning? I can't tell you! "

"That's true..." Lin Tao replied quietly, "science is not theology."

"The creation of my high-tech civilization is 500 light-years away from your earth. If we carry out instant messaging, even at the fastest speed of light in the universe, it will take 500 years for my words to reach you, and it will take the same time for your words to pass. In theory, it is impossible

So we packaged our cutting-edge technology into an information integration system and randomly released it into the universe in the form of optical neutrinos. As long as a civilization with certain wisdom receives it, we can use the knowledge inside to restore it into a supercomputer like me.

And this artificial intelligence can teach you the most cutting-edge technology and help you develop.

With your current technology, for a simple example, we can't fax you a computer, but we can pass you a set of instructions for manufacturing a computer. "

"Well..." He Gang thought for a moment and asked another question, "do you know what kind of power can make a person disappear in an enclosed space without changing the surrounding environment?"

"I can't give an accurate answer to this question, because our communication with you is limited to basic physics and cosmology

If you humans refuse to share your basic biological information with us, I can't find out how to make humans disappear out of thin air from my database, because I don't understand your basic physical characteristics!

For example, a 4-year-old child knows how to make a piece of ice disappear from his eyes. He only needs to give it temperature, but it is impossible for him to answer how an iron disappears. His knowledge storage does not include the composition and internal physical properties of the iron, so he can't answer you. "

"Indeed..." He Gang was silent.

"If you humans are willing to provide your own basic biological information and gene map, I can calculate the results in more than ten seconds and tell you everything about your earth human beings... I can even improve your biotechnology to an incredible level in a very short time.

For example, don't you want to live forever? "

He Gang shook his head: "it is true that everyone who once lived in the world once longed for the answer to this question, but we just want to achieve this goal through our own efforts."

"That's impossible in the short term!

You can't imagine the backwardness of your biotechnology. Moreover, I have repeatedly warned you that if human beings on earth only unilaterally improve your physical and mathematical knowledge, even with the help of our higher extraterrestrial civilization, they can only provide you with rapid development for about 50 years. Beyond this time limit, we can't do anything!

At that time, your technology will be in a period of stagnation, slow progress or even retrogression... "

"Is this what you and Lin Tao said about Tianhe's prophecy?" Hao Zhi couldn't help interrupting Xu zhe again and asked loudly.

"Yes, Wang Yanke's theory about the stagnation of human science and technology was predicted by Tianhe computer nearly 30 years ago, and it is now being realized step by step!"

"Does Tianhe say what caused this stagnation? Is there any solution?" Wang Yanke asked thoughtfully.

Xu zhe nodded approvingly at her. Lin Tao also asked your question at that time

"I don't understand. Our science and technology has been developing explosively in the past 30 years. Since ancient times, there has never been an era like today. We are in the golden age of rapid human development! Science and technology will develop steadily step by step with our efforts and deepening, won't it? Why do you say we will stop? I don't think there is any force that can stop us Stop human progress! "Lin Tao retorted loudly.

"Half of what you said is right, but you ignore one point

Your scientific and technological development should have been synchronized with biological gene technology, just as it was a century ago.

However, in the past 50 years, you have contacted an extraterrestrial advanced civilization like ours. It is like a primary school student who has made up classes outside the school. Therefore, the results have improved rapidly, which has led to the explosion of science and technology on the earth in the past 50 years.

If not, with the natural development speed of your human beings, you can't even do such a simple thing as setting foot on a near earth satellite such as the moon before the next century! "

"Well, we recognize that all human civilizations, no matter where they developed on the earth, ancient Egypt, ancient Chinese women, or all countries in the middle ages, have been struggling with food and clothing after two thousand years of development. Maybe your help has made us make such great progress

However, we are like a baby who is supported to walk. Now we have the ability to walk. Even if we spread the adult's hand, we will not fall, run, or even fly in the future... It is only a matter of time! "

Lin Tao became more and more excited. He seemed to be full of confidence in the future of mankind.

He Gang sighed and didn't interrupt.

The electronic voice in master Guan was silent for a moment, and then a cold voice replied, "you see the essence of the problem, but what if the child... Died before he learned to run?"

Lin Tao was stunned and didn't speak.

"That's what I've been warning you,

You human beings have only developed physical technology, but biotechnology has been almost stagnant. Human beings could live to 100 years old half a century ago,

Now, with the advent of the new century, your life expectancy is still less than 100 years old. Even due to environmental deterioration and other factors, your average life expectancy has not increased, but decreased! "

When Wang Yanke heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and shouted excitedly. Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the bottleneck of science and technology is ultimately the bottleneck of people studying science and technology. The only hard condition that can restrict the development of knowledge is human life!
