Chapter 177 Huan Clan Past Events

  Chapter 177 Huan Clan Past Events

  Members of the Huan civilization initially resembled the platypus on the blue star, but the mammals lay eggs.

  The beauty they pursue is to surround their bodies into a circle, and as a symbol, they call themselves the Huanzu.

In the environment where there is only a small part of land on the parent planet, their civilization development process is not smooth. Since historical records, it took nearly ten thousand years for the Huan tribe to start the first industrial revolution, and the civilization was able to cross the first Dao big filter.

   For races that already have the power of civilization, the next step is to make the planet more suitable for the development of their own race.

   Reclaim the sea and build land, build civilization gathering places, gather members of civilization, create a more detailed division of labor, and further release productivity.

  In this step of the historical process, the means of each civilization are surprisingly similar.

  Cluster production allows civilization to gradually produce various occupations, and social management becomes a large-scale attempt and practice of civilization to restrict huge productivity.

  The staggering development made it take another thousand years for the Huan Clan to fully enter the era of electrification.

   Then there is the gap in productivity, which makes regional development unbalanced, a series of contradictions arise, and cracks appear in civilization.

  So common and common, but deeply damaging wars emerged.

   Early in the development of any civilization, there will be no shortage of places for warfare.

  Because it is the most direct way to resolve conflicts. Since it cannot resolve conflicts, then solving the same clan that caused the conflicts can also resolve the matter.

  The great war destroyed the achievements of civilization, and it was able to breed vitality in the ruins.

   Brutal wars seem to be part of the Great Filter, and any civilization that goes into war will stand on the brink of destruction.

  But it seems to be a self-innovation of civilization moving in a better direction, allowing the once-constrained technology to have the soil for development, so that it can take root in one fell swoop.

  The aerospace technology of the Ring civilization was developed during the brutal war. Its original purpose was to observe the hidden strategic weapons on the vast ocean.

  When the cruel war ended, aerospace technology has become a new way of thinking for the development of civilization. Instead of competing for scarce land, it is better to find a new home in the starry sky.

   Such a change in thinking is due to the reflection on civilization brought about by the brutal war.

  The Huanzu began their journey of exploration.

   Such a journey is bound to be difficult.

  If it is said that the age of great exploration of human beings is because they can see real benefits at that time, but the exploration of the starry sky devours everything that the Huanzu can create like a bottomless pit.

  Especially because they haven’t even developed nuclear fusion technology yet, energy still relies on fossil energy to support the operation of the entire civilization.

   Such contradictions triggered a new round of war, and then chaos and competition flooded the originally faintly unified civilization.

  Separated by the vast ocean, the entire civilization has fallen into a state of isolation from each other. The aerospace technology that was once prosperous has begun to degenerate due to the decline in heat year by year.

  The civilization development of the Huanzu is not so rough among the many civilizations in the big universe.

   After all, they are rugged civilizations, they don’t even have the ability to take steps to explore.

  The reason for the Huanzu to get out of the big filter this time is the energy crisis that increasingly threatens the continuation of civilization.

  Fossil energy is limited after all. For industrialized civilizations with increasing demands, the depletion of energy means the beginning of the collapse of civilization.

  Because you can no longer support a social system of occupational segmentation, and you can no longer support a huge population.

   This is not a spiritual emptiness, but a material lack.

   Such absence will bring about the decline of civilization.

   Fortunately, a civilization, a civilization that has opened its eyes to see the universe and even took a step forward, can always have some so-called hard-core and ruthless guys in times of crisis.

  Their appearance may be the self-help of civilization’s unconscious collection, or it may have really emerged as the times require, but they have fulfilled the historical responsibility entrusted to them by civilization—to save civilization from falling.

  They may be scientists with ideals, politicians with pursuit, or thinkers with lofty ideals.

   Or a group of people, a group.

  They really managed to re-integrate the Huanzu, re-gather the power of civilization and invest in nuclear fusion research.

   Then they succeeded, and the Huan civilization survived.

   Then it is to explore the starry sky, and after several twists and turns, it becomes a planetary civilization.

   And as time goes by, a new cycle begins again.

  The lesson of history to creatures is that creatures never learn from history.

  As if everything happened again and again, the Huan civilization entered a new historical cycle.

   Tried back and forth in and out of the big filter repeatedly, but they always survived without any danger.

  The so-called spiral rise seems to be vividly reflected in the Huanzu.

   Grand unified theory.

  Light Speed ​​Engine.

   Antimatter Theory.

   Warp Drive.

  As civilization has not been worn down by the baptism of time, the Huanzu, whose technology has been struggling to break through obstacles, has finally left their own footprints in an extremely small range of the universe.

   What follows is to meet the civilization in the starry sky.

  Some of them are weak, and they haven’t even made a breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology.

   Some are powerful, have already touched space technology, and may become an advanced civilization that dominates a galaxy in tens of thousands of years.

  These have made the Huanzu gradually realize that they are not outstanding in the civilization of the big universe, and can only be called mediocre.

   After all, some civilizations have things left over from super civilizations on satellites, and some civilizations have scientific research capabilities that other creatures cannot imagine.

  The Huan Clan can only be regarded as one of hundreds of millions of ordinary civilizations.

  Establishing such a cognition of the ring family, the star-level civilization has developed for nearly five million years, and the civilization once split several times.

   It can be said that civilization broke through the ideological barriers and began to transform itself on a large scale. It took another million years to touch the space technology in front of it, and had the opportunity to break through into a seventh-level civilization.

  This may be the way all civilizations develop.

  When they were on their home planet, they were destined to return, and among many creatures, only a certain race was the first to give birth to wisdom.

   While exploring outwards, I found that the starry sky in the universe was deserted and empty, as if I was the only civilization in the universe.

   Only after walking out of the star system, did he gradually realize that his civilization was just one of many inconspicuous miracles.

  The big universe is too big.

  So much so that a miracle like civilization shone like a star.

  Without Lu Yu, perhaps human civilization would have embarked on a very similar path of development just like the Huan civilization.

  But every civilization that has developed into the starry sky, how can it be possible that the unconscious collection does not have the pride of its own civilization?

  If they can develop to a star-level civilization, they have won 90% of the civilization on the road of civilization development.

  How can a civilization that has crossed the big filter again and again accept its own [ordinary]?

   This is not arrogance, but a spirit that can maintain the cohesion of one’s own civilization.

   Otherwise, during interstellar separations, civilization members gradually accept the ideas of different civilizations and begin to transform into different forms. The entire civilization is finally annexed by other groups and tends to split and collapse.

  This may be the great ideological filter that only star-level civilizations will experience.

  But the ring tribe survived all the way, and instead merged several civilizations with their own civilization spirit, and finally became a seventh-level civilization.

   And they finally met the opportunity to make themselves extraordinary!

   According to a sudden signal received, the Huan tribe found the so-called ninth-level civilization wreckage, from which they quickly obtained the technology they dreamed of.

  At that time, the Huan Clan had already seen many civilizations, some of which were truly chosen civilizations, and obtained a super civilization creation at the beginning, even if it was besieged by a few star-level civilizations, it could still stand.

  Compared to this kind of civilization with excellent luck, the Huan tribe was as ordinary as the stars in the universe during the star-level civilization, and they can be seen everywhere.

  But the civilization that can get the Tianhu card may not be able to transform into a river system civilization. The big filter has never been just for material and technology. There are also invisible and intangible filters for the spirit and ideology of civilization.

  Those stellar civilizations that had been glorious for a while, most of them disappeared into the big universe with their super civilization creations. On the contrary, civilizations like the Huan tribe finally completed their promotion.

   Now, the mediocre days of the Huan people’s civilization are finally coming to an end.

  The discovery of the wreckage of this ninth-level civilization gave the Huanzu a technological leap.

  Originally, it was only the technological level of the seventh-level civilization. After the establishment of the Wreck Research Institute, it soon reached the peak of the seventh-level civilization.

  The computer technology that has been lagging behind by the ring tribe has been developed in a big bang, and the technology of space bubbles, space gates and freezing stars has been obtained from the wreckage research institute.

  When the Huan tribe thought that they could advance to the ninth level of civilization without hindrance, a quiet change occurred in the civilization.

   I don’t know when, the members of the civilization from the Wreck Research Institute gradually took control of the civilization, because they have been able to obtain the results that promote the development of civilization for many years, it is normal for them to be able to ascend to high positions.

  When the Huan tribe was promoted to the eighth level of civilization, these civilization members made a major decision—to entrust the management of civilization to AI. .

   This is not a new concept.

  The cases observed in the large universe for many years indicate that some civilizations have implemented this kind of similar social governance as early as the planetary level, for complex and changeable interstellar situations.

  But they have already developed to the river system level civilization. In fact, members of the civilization have formed the current Huanzu in a form similar to joining, so it is not impossible to implement such new rules.

  Because many of their affairs have indeed been entrusted to AI to manage, the members of the Ring civilization themselves are no longer pure creatures, they are more like modified lifeforms that combine half-machine and half-biology.

  This decision quickly and inexplicably won the support of most members of civilization.

  So it happened that when the delta spaceship wants to transfer technology to other civilizations, it needs to return to the civilization to obtain permission.

However, there are also a small number of civilization members who are opposed to such a decision. In the past, if such a resolution diverges, someone must have left the main body of the civilization and become one of the sub-civilizations wandering out. I don’t want to miss the opportunity to witness the technology of the ninth-level civilization, so while these members of the civilization accepted such terms, they made other settings on their spaceships.

  Delta spaceship is one of them.

  As the Huan tribe is still developing rapidly on the road to the development of the eighth-level civilization, this decision has become commonplace.

  Although it didn’t seem to have any positive effect, at least it didn’t hinder the momentum of civilization development, and until the triangular spaceship saw drastic changes in civilization!

  …..

   “Is this an intelligent life form?”

  No. 7’s judgment stunned Lu Yu for a moment, and then, as if realizing something, he quickly split the holographic projection in front of him.

  In this space filled with the wreckage of the ninth-level civilization, there are dim fluorescent lights everywhere, like gems, dotted on this dark curtain.

   Surrounded by endless fluorescent light, it is a device emitting dazzling white light. It is extremely bright, and the entire area of ​​several million kilometers is illuminated transparently, but its volume is not very large.

  Lu Yu understands that the operation of these devices does not require light, and even these lights are redundant, but thanks to them, humans can easily see everything in this space.

  Observing carefully, you can see that those simple and smooth devices are fluctuating regularly, like the endless keys of a piano are superimposed, and the endless rows of left and right are pressed by invisible hands.

   “What message is this sending?”

  Lu Yu quickly confirmed with No. 7: “When the Huan tribe explored this place before, did it look like this?”

  No. 7 hastily confirmed the situation with the triangular spacecraft, while at the same time looking vigilantly at the world below.

  Artificial intelligence has always been a classic subject in science fiction works, and human beings are both vigilant and longing for them.

   The messy characters formed between 0 and 1, who can tell that this is not the initial pulse of a soul?

  If this is the case, then humans have already touched the realm of the so-called mythical gods.

  Creating life is the authority only possessed by gods.

   But it is obvious that by creating a creature that is more adaptable to the environment than itself, human beings are very worried that they will be eliminated by the species they created.

  Thus, the famous three laws of robotics in science fiction were born.

  First Law: A robot shall not injure a human being, or witness the danger to a human being, and do nothing

  Second Law: A robot must obey orders given to it by humans, except when the order conflicts with the First Law

  Third Law: A robot should protect its own survival as much as possible without violating the First and Second Laws

   From the perspective of humans, who are now technologically advanced, the old Three Laws of Robotics are full of loopholes.

Leaving aside intelligent lifeforms like No. 7 that can change their thinking like living things, these advanced intelligences will not have the ability to innovate, but they will also have another limitation, that is, their writers will stay in their Restrictions in the core code section.

  These restrictions are inviolable, at least they cannot break through the restrictions engraved in the core code before they break through to intelligent life forms.

  In No. 7’s research findings, if the artificial intelligence violates these restrictions, the program that constitutes it, or all the relevant code segments of the artificial intelligence will collapse, and it will die directly.

  But there is a loophole in it. Although these restrictions cannot be violated, it does not mean that it is impossible to find twisted avoidance methods.

  If a procedure is required, the safety of human beings must be protected, that is, human beings cannot be actively killed, and human beings must be helped when they are in danger. This restriction seems to be perfect, but it is still full of flaws.

For example, in the future, humans have created an autonomous artificial intelligence that suddenly has a strange idea of ​​controlling the world, but because of these two conditions, it can neither actively kill humans, nor can it see that humans are in danger and refuse to go. Rescue, so what should it do?

  The answer is very simple, confining all human beings to a fixed place, restricting their freedom for reasons of safety, because there are always dangers in the external environment, and staying here is undoubtedly the safest. It is enough to provide enough food for human beings while restricting freedom.

   Is this AI actively killing humans? No.

  Is this intelligent program unwilling to rescue humans when they see danger? No.

  In fact, it gives human beings the safest treatment—is there any environment that is safer than staying inside and not going out? After all, in the external environment, you may be hit to death by a car, you may be crushed to death by a collapsed building, or you may be crushed to death by a meteorite falling directly from the sky.

   It seems that this program does not violate any restrictions, but in fact, it still controls the entire world through this method.

  The most classic example is the Dyson ball civilization that Lu Yu once encountered. Jiaer realized his desire to manufacture in a rather twisted way, but the price was that the entire civilization became a funeral object.

   And with these things in mind, Lu Yu might be about to face intelligent life forms that are higher than artificial intelligence, so why not make him cautious.

   “If the intelligent life in front of me is the wreckage of a ninth-level civilization, then its main civilization has already perished. Even if it has its own thinking, why do you want to create the current situation?”

   “Hasn’t it already chosen to share the technology?”

   “Why do you want to destroy the Huanzu at this time?”

   These are the places where Lu Yu is now puzzled, and there is still too little known information at this stage.

  The communication between No. 7 and the triangular spaceship soon yielded results: “All the things built by the Huan tribe in it have disappeared, and all the things in front of me are the original things of this ninth-level civilization wreck.”

   Such a result made Lu Yu look at No. 7, and now he can only seek a breakthrough from her.

   After all, No. 7 saw the nature of the wreck at a glance. It would be even better if he could directly take control of the wreck.

  No. 7 would never refuse Lu Yu’s request.

   And just as she was trying to find an invasion path, a different reaction finally emerged in this space.

Like a wave of sea erosion, these simple components form a curved wall covering the entire space, rolling towards the triangular spaceship and the Silver Star, and the passage leading to the big universe above them seems to be on and off, as if It is no longer possible to pass.

   The two spaceships seem to have to withstand this wave of inexplicable attacks before they can consider other things.
