Attributes are infinitely increasing, I dominate multiple

A cluster of unique spirits, a certain three-dimensional static universe.

The Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Earth Star of the Solar System.

In a super metropolis.

On the crowded street, Mu Cang, dressed in pure white clothes, was walking slowly and leisurely.

As he walked, he kept observing the various people passing by with great interest.

The reason why he was interested was because Mu Cang discovered that the intelligent life in this cluster... actually had no soul.

"It is indeed a purely materialistic world. It doesn't even have a soul. There is only spiritual consciousness based on the network of material brain neuron systems, and..."

Mu Cang walked slowly and chuckled, "The root spirituality hidden deep in the consciousness."

Without a soul, there are no ghosts.

When a person dies, he dies, and everything becomes empty.

At least this is true for all intelligent creatures in all the time and space in the universe that Mu Cang can observe.

The rules of this cluster... are indeed a bit strict.

"...Now broadcast a piece of news..."

"...[Guanghan Palace] Yuexing Base has been successfully completed, which means that Longhua Aerospace has entered a new era..."

"...The rich helium-3 resources contained in the soil on the surface of the moon are enough to support mankind's use of nuclear fusion energy for 100,000 years..."

Mu Cang raised his head and glanced at the huge display screen on the building opposite. Inside, a beautiful female host was broadcasting the evening news with a smile.

The content described in the news broadcast is that the mortal country named [Longhua] under Mu Cang's feet is already ahead of more than two hundred other countries in the world, and has established a research and development base just a stone's throw away. On the moon, a planet 380,000 kilometers away.

Putting aside the so-called national distinctions that existed in the surface era, this news can completely represent that the carbon-based intelligent life on this planet has entered a new stage in aerospace technology.

Therefore, in general, it seems that this carbon-based ethnic group can be regarded as an Earth-like intelligent civilization with great development potential, which is visible to the naked eye and is heading towards the era of stars and seas.

Unfortunately...it only looks like it has potential.

Because through the eyes of God that can almost 100% 'see' through the future, Mu Cang, who is standing at this moment, already knows it.

In just thirty years, around 2100 AD, this planet will fall into a huge war due to various reasons such as competition for interests among countries and shifting hegemony.

That war with a huge scope and extremely high intensity will greatly damage or even destroy the industrial and scientific research foundation of the entire human society on the planet, and then lead to a substantial civilizational regression of the entire human race.

At the same time, the severe environmental damage caused by this war, as well as the great shortage of natural resources and population resources also caused by the war, will also make the reconstruction of civilization on this planet very difficult.

It will take nearly six centuries before the technological level of human civilization on this planet can be restored to the current era.

At that time, this carbon-based intelligent group will have the opportunity to once again set foot in the stars and develop aerospace.

Regrettably, on the long road to a true interstellar civilization, the war that swept the world and the subsequent regression of civilization were only the smallest 'levels' that this earth-star race would face.

They will face many more difficult difficulties in the future.

For example, energy issues.

In this vast three-dimensional universe, all intelligent civilizations that have entered the atomic energy age will sooner or later discover that the seemingly beautiful cold nuclear fusion cannot be realized in reality.

The so-called cold fusion actually refers to the nuclear fusion reaction that occurs at normal temperature and pressure and can be used as an energy source, rather than the kind of thermonuclear fusion that occurs inside stars, hydrogen bombs, nuclear weapons, and magnetic confinement fusion reactors.

This fusion method is not only clean, clean and safe, but also extremely convenient and simple in operation and maintenance.

It sounds amazing, and it feels very suitable for use as an intelligent civilization in the sub-interstellar era.

Unfortunately, cold fusion is a beautiful idea that can only exist on paper.

In this universe, unless there are advanced civilizations that have broken through the technological singularity and entered the stage of superhuman changes, they will take action.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there is no physical principle that can support this cold fusion reaction.

Therefore, for people at this stage of Earth-Star civilization, nuclear fusion can only take the difficult path of thermonuclear energy.

However, this will also lead to many problems such as the miniaturization, stabilization, and safety of thermonuclear fusion energy, which will be difficult problems that all intelligent civilizations, including the earth and the stars, must solve.

It is very difficult to break through this difficulty.

But there are still many, many, many difficulties like this.

Each of these difficulties will be like a series of huge filters, stubbornly blocking the steps of all intelligent civilizations to move deeper into the starry sky and move towards higher levels of technology.

For example, in addition to energy issues, there are also human health issues in the space age and the speed of spacecraft.

Although eight centuries later, the human race on the Earth and Star will be able to perfectly implement mature and cheap space travel between the Earth and the Moon, and then be able to make full use of the abundant helium-3 resources on the Moon's surface to promote the development of their own civilization.

But this can only be considered just the beginning.

If Earth Star people want to go fast--\u003e\u003e

In order to quickly and safely travel to more distant planets and colonize them, they need to continue to optimize and improve space flight technology, as well as...themselves.

Because Earthlings, a group of primate intelligent creatures born on the surface of the earth, have all physical functions that are not evolved to adapt to the weightless environment of space.

Therefore, long-term space travel will inevitably bring a large number of serious health problems to Earthling astronauts.

The first problem is that the various injuries caused by long-term gravity anomalies will continue to occur at the cellular level of Earthlings, and then continue to reduce their physical fitness.

In the end, it will cause cancer in their various organs and tissues, large-scale deformity and necrosis of the neuronal system, and infertility.

If Earthlings want to simulate artificial gravity...

Unfortunately, Mu Cang can clearly "see" that Earthlings will have to go through at least thirty-five centuries before they can do this experimentally.

Moreover, at that time, they only used various other complex force field technologies to build artificial simulated gravity fields, rather than truly distorting and interfering with gravity.

In the long thousands of years before the technology of artificial gravity was developed, the human beings on Earth could only rely on rotating cabins to simulate the gravity field, while constantly optimizing the overall structure and facilities of the spacecraft, trying to minimize the harm of the weightless environment in space.

Even so, in the first few centuries, many astronauts made great contributions to human aerospace, but suffered from various diseases throughout their lives.

This tragic situation will not be greatly changed until the mature gene screening and regulation technology is available.

However, this so-called "gene ascension" path, the human civilization on Earth can only advance to the level of extending life for thousands of years, enhancing functions, increasing intelligence, and preventing all diseases.

Going further, there is no way to go.

Because, although technological development can carry out various more controllable genetic engineering, allowing humans to evolve artificially more effectively, such as increasing the beneficial heritable traits of the population, or the combination of beneficial heritable traits, etc.

However, no matter how much protein is tossed, it will only be a fragile thing whose chemical properties will be permanently changed by just a few hundred degrees Celsius.

It will never turn into diamond, and it will never be able to compare strength and melting point with titanium alloy.

Therefore, if you want to rely on the so-called gene adjustment technology to "create" fantasy superheroes such as Wolverine, vampires, and the Hulk who do not follow the law of conservation of mass and energy and other physical rules.

It is better to hope that one day an alien dad will suddenly descend on Earth and be kind enough to let all human beings in the world ascend collectively.

It can only be said that the rules of this universe are too strict.

It is so strict that there is no shortcut that can allow humans to achieve various extraordinary miracles, and there is no basic rule "soil" for such extraordinary miracles to exist stably.

Therefore, in Mu Cang's view, the only route that the human species on this tiny planet can smoothly follow in the future is the path of human-machine fusion-mechanical ascension.

At the same time, a more important issue than energy and health is the research and development evolution of sub-light-speed aerospace technology.

Mu Cang can "see" that in the future, the Earth humans will make countless hard efforts to push the flight speed of spacecraft to 10% or even more of the speed of light in vacuum.

They first used large space lasers to accelerate the light sail aircraft.

Its overall structure is somewhat similar to the Dyson Harop solar wind power generation satellite once launched by Mu Cang's "hometown" Blue Star Lighthouse Country.

Of course, it must be much more sophisticated and powerful than it in terms of structure and power.

Then on this basis, the Earth humans also added unconventional lasers such as solar pumping lasers and nuclear explosion pumping lasers to this long-lasting aerospace project to enhance the propulsion of the spacecraft.

Unfortunately, this series of technologies can only push the speed of spacecraft to 20% of the speed of light in vacuum.

This speed is the complete limit, and there is no further progress.

Even after many centuries, the human civilization on Earth has developed a sufficiently mature and powerful plasma propulsion technology, which can only push the speed of spacecraft to 30% of the vacuum light speed, and it is completely impossible to go further.

It is as if there is an invisible threshold that blocks the way forward for the human beings on Earth.

At this point, humans only have one way to go.

That way is the curvature engine technology.

But this technology requires a crucial "thing" - exotic matter. (For the general principle of warp speed navigation technology and the setting of exotic matter, please refer to Chapters 164 and 181)

Unfortunately, for this kind of extraordinary matter that only exists in the core of neutron stars and inside wormholes, the human beings on Earth trapped in the solar system can only sigh in despair.

Because human civilization, which only has 30% of the vacuum light speed aerospace technology, cannot cross thousands of light years to reach the depths of the vast universe to complete the feat of exploring wormholes and excavating neutron stars.

Therefore, the Earth humans could only stay silent and turn the direction of development and research to the solar system and to themselves.

About seventy centuries later, after nearly two thousand years of deep internalized development and scientific research, the Earth civilization, under the premise that the development of aerospace technology was almost dead, unexpectedly embarked on the path of mechanical ascension.

They have researched and developed a mature set of consciousness uploading technologies, and resolutely mechanized their entire race from top to bottom.

It is a kind of nano-neuron technology, which looks like a tube of cyan medicine and can be slowly implanted into the human cerebral cortex through regular injection.

This kind of nanomechanical neuron that can be remotely controlled, by default, --\u003e\u003e

It will gradually dismantle the brain cells and neurons in the human brain one by one.

And on the premise of retaining the information related to the synaptic connections of the brain cells' neurons and the original cell structure, it gradually replaces the various functions of the original neurons and slowly optimizes them.

At the same time, the entire process of nanoneurons gradually replacing all brain cells in the human brain will also undergo extremely gentle whole-brain replacement in days.

Although this is essentially a kind of chronic suicide, because when a person's last neuron cell is completely replaced, then he is completely dead at the biological level.

But during this process of neuron replacement that lasted for decades, the continuity of this person's consciousness was never interrupted.

So from this perspective, his overall consciousness has not changed, but the carrier of consciousness has changed and has become stronger.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the spirituality of humans who have undergone whole-brain nanomechanical transformation has not been lost, but continues to exist normally.

In other words, this path of mechanical ascension for humans on earth and planet... is on the right track.

They have not lost their inspiration and creativity.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the completion of this whole-brain replacement process.

Precisely because the functions of myelin, axons and other neural tissues in the brain have been completely replaced by nanomachines.

Therefore, the neural reaction speed of human beings, which was only a few hundred meters per second, has suddenly jumped to the sub-light speed of hundreds of thousands of kilometers per second.

At this terrifying neurological reaction speed, humans will be able to completely control their reaction speed to the passage of time in a subjective sense.

A minute in the old era can become as long as a century for humans in the new era.

Moreover, in humans who have undergone whole-brain replacement, subtle changes in their nano-synapses and mechanical brain structures at every moment can be remotely synchronized with the cloud backup consciousness of the central intelligence system.

In this way, in the event of any accidental physical damage, this new human will be able to load the file and be resurrected.

It is a true resurrection at the level of spiritual consciousness, rather than a simple reproduction of a data template.

At this point, the Earth Star civilization has entered a truly new era.

They have become new humans far beyond the past.
